Research on Developing a Recipe Authoring System and Its Application for Educational Use

我们开发了一种系统，该系统使用户能够使用一组数码相机、图像和声音识别系统、食谱编辑系统、W W W服务器系统和视频会议系统在函馆和东京的厨房中捕获食谱，并与其他人在遥远的地方共享它们。用户还可以通过安装在厨房的视频会议系统与其他人进行沟通。该项目包括五个阶段，其中我们：1.在家中学习烹饪进行实地调查，以找到适当的数量和位置的摄像机，定时，麦克风，传感器等;2。开发了烹饪过程图像自动采集系统;3.开发了W W W W自动配方机;4.开发了烹饪互动交流系统; 5.我们的研究论文被一个国际会议和五个国内会议接受。这些会议是认知科学、教育技术、人机交互和计算机软件领域的主要会议。我们还在日本主要报纸和杂志上采访并发表文章。这表明我们的研究在学术和社会上都受到高度期待。

We have developed a system that enables users to capture recipes in a kitchen at Hakodate and Tokyo and share them with other people a distant place using a set of digital cameras, an image and sound recognition system, a recipe editing system, a W W W server system, and a videoconference system. Users can also communicate with others via the videoconference system installed in the kitchen.The project consists of five phases, in which we:1. performed fieldwork on learning cooking at home in order to find the appropriate number and placement ofcameras, timing, microphones, sensors and so on;2. developed a system of automatic image acquisition during cooking;3. developed the automatic recipe maker for the W W W;4. developed the interactive communication system for cooking; and5. tested the integrated systems with cooking novices and expertsOur research papers are accepted one international conference and five domestic conferences. These conferences are major ones in fields of cognitive science, educational technology, human computer interaction, and computer software.Also we have interviewed and showed as articles in major Japanese newspaper and magazine. It reveals our research is highly expected academically and socially.
