It should be understood that the data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that embodiments of the present disclosure described herein may be made. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

The term "plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the character "/" indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an or relationship. For example, A/B represents: a or B.

The term "and/or" is an associative relationship that describes objects, meaning that three relationships may exist. For example, a and/or B, represents: a or B, or A and B.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for recipe recommendation, including:

s01, detecting the change condition of the food in the refrigerator;

s02, determining menu information according to the change condition of food in the refrigerator;

and S03, recommending the menu information to the user.

By adopting the method for recommending the menu provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the corresponding menu information can be matched according to the detected change condition of the food in the refrigerator, and the recommendation prompt is carried out on the user, so that the function of automatically recommending the menu to the user is realized, and the user experience is improved.

Optionally, the change of the food in the refrigerator includes an increase/decrease of the food in the refrigerator.

Optionally, detecting a change in food from the food in the refrigerator comprises: and detecting the reduced food in the refrigerator according to the opening and closing state of the refrigerator so as to obtain the change condition of the food.

Alternatively, a change of food in the refrigerator is detected after the refrigerator door is opened/closed.

Optionally, detecting the reduced food in the refrigerator according to the open/close state of the refrigerator to obtain the change condition of the food, including: after the refrigerator is monitored to pass through a door closing state, a door opening state and a door closing state in sequence, the food reduced in the refrigerator before and after the door opening state is detected, and the change condition of the food is obtained.

Optionally, when the refrigerator is in a closed state, eggs are detected in the refrigerator, and when the refrigerator door is closed after being opened, that is, when the refrigerator door is in the closed state again, no or reduced eggs in the refrigerator are detected, and the change condition of the obtained food is eggs. Thus, it can be effectively judged that the user takes out the food from the refrigerator.

In some embodiments, detecting a change in food within the refrigerator includes:

collecting images in the refrigerator, and determining the change condition of food through image analysis; or,

and reading the electronic tags of the food in the refrigerator, and determining the change condition of the food according to the reading result.

Optionally, detecting food within the refrigerator comprises: the food inside the refrigerator is identified by using radio frequency.

Optionally, identifying food inside the refrigerator using radio frequency includes: reading an electronic tag configured on the food, wherein the electronic tag comprises the name, the type and the production date of the food.

In some embodiments, determining the recipe information according to the variation of the food in the refrigerator includes:

when the food in the refrigerator is reduced, searching a corresponding menu from a preset menu database according to the reduced food; or,

when the food in the refrigerator is increased, the corresponding menu is searched from the preset menu database according to the increased food.

In some embodiments, when the refrigerator is in the closed state, the food name displayed by the electronic tag is tomato, but when the refrigerator is closed after being opened, that is, is in the closed state again, the electronic tag of the food name tomato is not recognized by the radio frequency, or the number of the electronic tags of the tomato is reduced. The resulting food was tomato in a variety of cases. Thus, it is possible to effectively and rapidly recognize information about food, such as the kind of food, for example, tomatoes, vegetables, and the production date of 12 months and 1 day, which is taken out of the refrigerator by the user.

Optionally, matching corresponding recipe information from a recipe database according to the change condition of the food includes: and matching the change condition of the food with a preset menu database to obtain all dishes containing the change condition of the food.

Optionally, the variation of food, such as tomato and egg, is matched with the recipe database as shown in table 1, and the recipe information, such as tomato fried egg, tomato egg soup, etc. and corresponding practice thereof, is obtained by the material in the recipe database corresponding to the recipe names of tomato and egg. For example, tomato stir-fried eggs correspond to practice 1 and comprise: firstly, peeling tomatoes and cutting into blocks, then frying eggs, after the eggs are fried to be cooked, putting the cut tomatoes into the fried eggs, and frying for 5 minutes with strong fire.

Therefore, the corresponding menu information can be effectively matched according to the food taken out of the refrigerator by the user, and the recommended menu information is more in line with the preference of the user.

TABLE 1

Optionally, recommending the menu information to the user includes: displaying menu information through a display screen of the refrigerator; or, the menu information is sent to the handheld terminal equipment of the user.

Optionally, according to the change of food, such as tomatoes and eggs, information such as tomato fried eggs or tomato egg soup is displayed on the display screen of the refrigerator. Therefore, the menu recommendation prompt can be effectively carried out on the user according to the food materials taken out by the user.

Optionally, the method for recipe recommendation further comprises: and acquiring a user instruction, and carrying out voice playing on the menu information according to the user instruction.

Optionally, when the user wants to make tomato-fried eggs, that is, selects a course of tomato-fried eggs, the user may click "tomato-fried eggs" displayed on the display screen correspondingly or issue a voice command of "tomato-fried eggs", and then the display screen displays or plays a course 1 corresponding to tomato-fried eggs. Therefore, corresponding menu information can be matched according to food taken out of the refrigerator by the user, recommendation prompting is carried out on the user, menu recommendation can be carried out according to user preferences, and user experience is improved.
