The order display window G2 is a display window for displaying a list of order items included in the notified order information. Language selection icons G <b> 3 to G <b> 5 are icons for accepting selection of a language used by wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 by a line-of-sight operation. The language selection icon G3 accepts the selection of Japanese as the language used, the language selection icon G4 accepts the selection of English as the language of use, and the language selection icon G5 accepts the selection of Chinese as the language of use.

  The language used by the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 includes the language of the voice command at the time of voice operation in addition to the display language of the monitor display unit 17. Therefore, according to the language selected as the language used for the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1, in addition to the display language of the monitor display unit 17, the language of the received voice command may be switched. In addition, as a language used by the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1, a language (Japanese in the illustrated example) preset as a standard language is selected in the initial state.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in S5a, S5b, and S5c, the order information notified from the order management server 30 is displayed in the order display window G2. Specifically, order icons G21 to G23 corresponding to each order item included in the order information are displayed in the order display window G2. Thereby, the cook can start cooking each order item included in the order information.

  Table number icons G31 and G32 in the order display window G2 are icons for switching display of order information for each customer table stacked in a RAM or the like. The notification of order information by S1 to S4 is performed for each customer table that has received an order, and the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 sequentially stacks the order information notified by S1 to S4 in a RAM or the like. The wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 reads the notified order information in the order in which it is stacked in the RAM, that is, in order, and displays table number icons G31 and G32 in the order. Thereby, the cook can confirm the order of the order performed for every customer table by confirming the order of the table number icons G31 and G32.

  Moreover, in the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1, the order information notified for every customer table displayed on the order display window G2 is switched by the voice operation or the line-of-sight operation of the wearer 2. Specifically, in the case of voice operation, the table numbers corresponding to the dictionary data are identified from the voice input, and the order items included in the order information of the identified table numbers are displayed in a list. For example, when there is a voice input such as “table 1 table”, the order items of the table 1 table are displayed as a list as shown in FIG.

  Further, in the case of line-of-sight operation, when looking at the table number icon selected by the wearer 2 and detecting that the line-of-sight marker G1 overlaps the table number icon for a predetermined time, the order item related to the table number icon is displayed. Display a list. For example, when it is detected that the line-of-sight marker G1 overlaps with the table number icon G31 for a predetermined time, a list of items ordered from the table 1 table is displayed as shown in FIG. Thereby, the cook can confirm the order item of a desired customer table from the orders for each customer table displayed in the order.

  In the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1, the language to be used is selected from a plurality of languages by the voice operation or the line-of-sight operation of the wearer 2. Specifically, in the case of voice operation, the language corresponding to the dictionary data is identified from the voice input, and the identified language is selected as the language used by the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1. For example, from the voice input such as “Japanese”, Japanese is used as the language used for the wearable cooking assistant terminal 1, and from the voice input such as “English”, the English is used as the language used for the wearable cooking assistant terminal 1, and as a voice input such as “Chinese” Chinese is selected as the language used for the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1.

This is selected as the language used for the cooking assistance terminal 1. For example, if it is detected that the line-of-sight marker G1 overlaps the language selection icon G3 for a predetermined time, Japanese is displayed in the language selection icon G5. If it is detected that there is overlap for a predetermined time, Chinese is selected as the language used for the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1. The wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 reads the dictionary data, image data, setting data, etc. set for each language in advance in the ROM, storage, etc. according to the selection of the language used as described above, thereby monitoring the order display window G2, etc. The display language on the display unit 17 is switched. Thereby, the cook can confirm the ordered items in the language selected by the cook. In other words, the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 can display in a language that is easy for the cook to see.

  When cooking of the order item included in the order information displayed on the monitor display unit 17 is completed, the cook inputs the completion of cooking by voice operation or line-of-sight operation. Specifically, in the case of voice operation, a predetermined word corresponding to the dictionary data is identified from voice input, and a word or sentence indicating cooking completion is identified, so that the order item displayed in the order display window G2 is identified. Accept cooking completion. For example, the completion of cooking of the order item relating to the order icon G21 corresponding to the voice content is received from a voice input such as “Order 1, Bruschetta, Complete”. In the case of a line-of-sight operation, the order icon selected by the wearer 2 is stared, and when it is detected that the line-of-sight marker G1 overlaps the order icon for a predetermined time, the selection of the order icon is accepted. The completion of cooking of the ordered item displayed in the display window G2 is accepted. For example, when it is detected that the line-of-sight marker G1 overlaps the order icon G21 for a predetermined time, the completion of cooking of the order item relating to the order icon G21 is accepted. In addition, in this embodiment, the case where cooking completion input is performed by the chef's voice operation or line-of-sight operation in the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1a is illustrated (S6). More specifically, it is assumed that cooking completion is input for the order item related to the order icon G21.

  In response to this cooking completion input, the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1a notifies the order management server 30 of the cooking completion of the ordered item for which the input has been made (S7). Specifically, the order management server 30 is notified of the order number and the order item of the order information with a flag indicating the completion of cooking. Further, the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 updates the display of the order information on the monitor display unit 17 so that the order item for which cooking completion has been input is displayed separately from the order item for which cooking has not been completed (S8). ).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the order display window G2 in each wearable cooking assistance terminal 1. The wearable cooking assistance terminal 1a displays the order display window G2 after the display is updated in S8. As shown in FIG. 5, in S8, the order icon G21 relating to the order item for which cooking has been completed is shaded and the order icon G22 to the order item for which the cooking has not been completed is performed. It is displayed separately from G25. Thereby, the cook C1 who uses the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1a can confirm which order items have been cooked and which order items should be cooked (uncooked order items).

  Note that the display layout illustrated in FIG. 5 is an example, and the display layout is particularly limited to the illustrated example as long as the cooked order item can be identified from the ordered items displayed on the monitor display unit 17. is not. For example, an order icon relating to an order item for which cooking has been completed may be distinguished from another order icon by adding an icon image indicating completion of cooking, or changing a display form such as color and concentration. In addition, the cooked order item may be erased from the display of the monitor display unit 17, and the distinction from other order items includes erasing the cooked order item from the display.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the order management server 30 that has received the notification of completion of cooking attaches information indicating that cooking has been completed to the order item of the registered order information, and updates the order information (S9). ). Next, the order management server 30 delivers the cooking completion notification to the wearable cooking assistance terminals 1b and 1c other than the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1a that has received the notification in S7 (S10).

  This distribution is performed by, for example, broadcasting to other network addresses other than the network address of the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1a that has received the notification. If the addresses of the wearable cooking assistance terminals 1a, 1b, and 1c on the network NT are set uniquely in advance, the wearable cooking assistance terminals other than the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1a are set based on the set addresses. The addresses 1b and 1c may be designated and distributed.

  The wearable cooking assistance terminals 1b and 1c that have received the delivery of cooking completion, like S8 in the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1a, monitor display units so as to distinguish cooking order items from cooking items that have not been cooked. The display of the order information in 17 is updated (S11b, S11c).

  About the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1b and 1c in FIG. 5, the order display window G2 after the display was updated by S11b and S11c is displayed. As shown in FIG. 5, in the wearable cooking assistance terminals 1b and 1c that have received the notification of the completion of cooking of the order item relating to the order icon G21, the order icon G21 is shaded in the same manner as in S8. G21 and order icons G22 to G25 relating to order items that have not been cooked are displayed separately. Accordingly, the cooks C2 and C3 using the wearable cooking assistance terminals 1b and 1c check which order items have been cooked by other cooks such as the cook C1 and which order items should be cooked. be able to.

  As described above, the wearable cooking assistance terminals 1a, 1b, and 1c display a list of order items included in order information from customers (S5a, S5b, and S5c). The wearable cooking assistance terminal 1a receives an instruction to select an ordered item for which cooking has been completed from among the ordered items displayed in a list (S6), and the ordered item for which the selection instruction has been given to other devices as a cooked ordered item. Notification is made (S7). The wearable cooking assistance terminals 1b and 1c receive cooked order items among the order items included in the order information notified by the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1a which is another cooking assistance terminal. The wearable cooking assistance terminals 1a, 1b, and 1c display the cooked ordered items that have been selected and the cooked ordered items notified by the other cooking assistance terminals, separately from the other ordered items (S8). , S11b, S11c). Accordingly, the cooks C1, C2, and C3 can recognize the uncooked ordered item and the cooked ordered item.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 5, cooking is performed in a division of labor, such as cook C1 is in charge of appetizers and desserts, cook C2 is in charge of soup, garnish cooking, and cook C3 is in charge of main cooking. To do. In this way, when cooking is divided by several people, the food is provided in order according to the order of appetizers, soup, main dishes, garnish dishes, desserts, etc. It is important for each cook to know which order items are uncooked and to make the coordination of cooking smooth. As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the cooks C2 and C3 confirm that cooking of the bruschetta, which is an appetizer, has been completed by the cook C1 among the ordered items of the table 1 by the order display window G2. can do. That is, each cook who cooks the ordered item by division of labor can grasp the progress of cooking, for example, that the cooking of the appetizer has been completed at one table, from the order display window G2. Therefore, it becomes possible to make the cooperation of cooking smooth when several people share cooking.

  Next, the detail of the process which the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 performs under control of the control part 121 is demonstrated with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the processing of the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the process is started, the control unit 121 displays the order items included in the order information notified from the order management server 30 on the monitor display unit 17 (S101). In S101, when a plurality of orders for each customer table are notified and a plurality of pieces of order information are stacked in the RAM or the like, as described above, the order information is read out in the stacked order, that is, in the order of the order, and the order is placed first. The ordered information is displayed on the order display window G2 of the monitor display unit 17 and table number icons G31 and G32 are displayed on the monitor display unit 17. Next, the control unit 121 determines whether or not there is an instruction to switch the language used by a voice operation or a line-of-sight operation (S102).

  If there is a use language switching instruction (S102: YES), the use language is switched to the instructed language (S103), and the process proceeds to S104. If there is no use language switching instruction (S102: NO), the process proceeds to S104 without switching the use language.
