In today’s fast-paced world, finding a balance between quality of life and lifestyle demands has become increasingly challenging. One area where this tension is particularly pronounced is in dietary habits, where a healthy and well-balanced diet often requires significant time investment in planning and decision-making. However, with the development of automated household food management systems, individuals can now enjoy efficient meal planning and food management without sacrificing their quality of life.
These innovative systems leverage cutting-edge technologies such as visual recognition, large language models (LLM), and knowledge base technologies to automate various tasks, including inventory input, stock display, expiration monitoring, and personalized recipe recommendations. By providing users with tailored solutions that meet their specific needs and preferences, these systems have the potential to revolutionize the way individuals manage their household food.
According to user surveys, over 70% of respondents recognized the necessity of these systems, and a significant majority found the system’s recipe design acceptable. This growing demand for efficient household food management solutions presents an opportunity for the development of innovative solutions that can address the needs of users who require easy-to-use low-cost automated management systems.
As the future of automated household food management unfolds, it is essential to develop user-centric solutions that provide accurate, up-to-date, and personalized information about recipes, ingredients, and cooking techniques. With the potential to revolutionize the way individuals manage their household food, these innovative systems are poised to become an integral part of modern living.
In today’s fast-paced world, individuals are increasingly faced with the conflict between pursuing a better life and achieving efficiency. This dichotomy is particularly pronounced in the realm of dietary habits, where a healthy and well-balanced diet often requires significant time investment in planning and decision-making. However, people frequently lack sufficient time for such considerations, leading to a pressing need for an efficient system to assist with meal planning and food management.
The development of an easy-to-use natural language-based automated household food management system has become more apparent as a solution to this challenge. This innovative system leverages visual recognition technology, large language models (LLM), and knowledge base technologies to automate household food management tasks, including inventory input, stock display, expiration monitoring, and food output. Furthermore, the system customizes personalized recipes based on factors such as the current time, number of family members, taste preferences, special dietary needs, and available ingredients.
According to user surveys, over 70% of respondents recognized the necessity of the system and its recipe design received an average rating of 3.75 out of 5, indicating that the majority of users found the system’s recipe recommendations acceptable. This suggests that there is a significant demand for such a system, which can help individuals achieve a balance between healthy eating and lifestyle efficiency.
Existing research on household food management primarily focuses on two areas: personalized menu recommendations and automatic inventory management. While relevant work has been conducted in these areas, there is still a gap in easy-to-use, low-cost automated management systems for household food management. Many existing solutions are high in cost, complexity, and inflexibility, making them unsuitable for widespread adoption.
Studies such as Chaudhary et al.’s Generating Indian Recipes with AI Algorithm, Faisal et al.’s DietRight A Smart Food Recommendation System, Jill et al.’s Intelligent Food Planning, and Luca et al.’s Automatic Reasoning Evaluation in Diet Management Based on an Italian Cookbook have employed AI technologies for recipe recommendations and achieved notable results. However, these works do not address the need for easy-to-use, automated management systems that can assist with household food management.
In contrast, studies such as Khan’s IoT-Based Grocery Management System, Smart Refrigerator, and Smart Cabinet, and Fujiwara’s A Smart Fridge for Efficient Foodstuff Management with Weight Sensor and Voice Interface have made certain advances in automatic inventory management. However, these solutions are still limited in their ability to provide a comprehensive and efficient system for household food management.
To address the gap in easy-to-use automated management systems, researchers have developed a novel approach that leverages visual recognition technology, LLM, and knowledge base technologies. This innovative system automates household food management tasks, including inventory input, stock display, expiration monitoring, and food output.
The system is designed to be easy to use, with a natural language interface that allows users to interact with the system in a conversational manner. The system also customizes personalized recipes based on factors such as the current time, number of family members, taste preferences, special dietary needs, and available ingredients.
According to user surveys, the system has been well-received by users, with over 70% recognizing the necessity of the system and its recipe design receiving an average rating of 3.75 out of 5. This suggests a significant demand for such a system, which can help individuals achieve a balance between healthy eating and lifestyle efficiency.
In the future, we can expect to see automated household food management systems that are even more advanced, with features such as automatic grocery ordering, meal planning, and recipe suggestion. These systems will be designed to provide users with a seamless and efficient experience, while also promoting healthy eating habits and sustainable living practices.
