Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     This application is based on and claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0091261, filed on Jul. 22, 2020, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0007671, filed on Jan. 19, 2021, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties. The disclosure relates to a method of generating food recipe data to be readable by electrical cooking appliances as well as by users. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     An artificial intelligence (AI) system is a computer system that may exhibit human-level intelligence and get smarter through self-learning and making decisions, unlike an existing rule-based smart system. The more an AI system is used, the more its recognition rate improves and the more accurately it understands a user&#39;s taste, and thus, a rule-based smart system is gradually being replaced with a deep learning-based AI system. 
     AI technology includes machine learning (e.g., deep learning) and element technologies that use machine learning. Machine learning is an algorithm technology that self-classifies and learns characteristics of input data, and element technologies are technologies using a machine learning algorithm such as deep learning to simulate functions of the human brain such as recognition and decision-making. 
     Fields to which AI technology is applied include linguistic understanding for recognizing and applying/processing human languages/characters and including natural language processing, machine translation, dialog systems, questions and answering, and speech recognition/synthesis, and inference/prediction for judging information and logically inferring and predicting the same and including knowledge/probability-based reasoning, optimization prediction, preference-based planning, and recommendation. 
     In regard to a cooking device (e.g., a cooking appliance such as an oven) for cooking food, a user directly reads a recipe, and directly inputs a dish type, a cooking method, and setting information for cooking according to the recipe. However, it is complicated to set the cooking device according to various recipes, and dishes may not be prepared according to the recipes because the user does not know the characteristics of the cooking device well. Accordingly, there is a demand for technology for generating a recipe as standardized data to be read by a cooking device, processing the generated recipe into data personalized to a user, and providing the recipe in an intuitive form to the user.

     For example, the text indicating the recipe may be obtained from a recipe including text in a computer-usable document format, a recipe page on the Web, or text extracted from an image of a recipe including the text, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. Also, the text indicating the recipe is not necessarily obtained from text, but may be obtained from other types of data such as an image or a video. For example, when a recipe including an image or the like is received, the server  2000  may identify only a text part in the recipe and may use the text part to generate data for cooking. 
     In operation S 320 , the server  2000  may identify a plurality of semantic elements included in the text, by using a plurality of NLU models for analyzing the text. In particular, the server  2000  may determine a plurality of NLU models for performing syntax analysis on the text. In an embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may determine a plurality of NLU models to be used for syntax analysis based on a type of food indicated by the obtained text, and may identify semantic elements by using the determined NLU models. Each of the NLU models may be a model trained to recognize and extract semantic elements of a specific category. 
     However, the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the server  2000  may identify semantic elements by using a plurality of NLU model that are previously determined, without determining a plurality of NLU model to be used for syntax analysis for the obtained text. 
     When a plurality of NLU models are determined to perform syntax analysis on the obtained text and the number of semantic elements of a specific category to be identified is equal to or greater than a preset number, the server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may allocate priorities to the plurality of NLU models, may determine the plurality of NLU models based on the allocated priorities, and may identify semantic elements in the obtained text. 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may apply the obtained text to the plurality of NLU models sequentially or in parallel, and may obtain a semantic element to be identified by each NLU model by performing text analysis for each NLU model. 
     For example, the server  2000  may obtain a ‘first semantic element’ that is at least one semantic element output by applying the obtained text to a first NLU model, and a ‘second semantic element’ that is at least one semantic element output by applying the obtained text to a second NLU model. The server  2000  may obtain an ‘Nth semantic element’ that is at least one semantic element output by applying the text to an Nth NLU model in the same manner. 
     In operation S 330 , the server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may generate first MRR data that is structured data based on the identified semantic elements. For example, the first MRR data may be structured text data that is written in a JavaScript Object Notation format, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. The first MRR data may be structured text data that is implemented in another programming language. 
     The first MRR data according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include cooking device control parameters. The cooking device control parameters may be parameters indicating a control operation of a cooking device. The cooking device control parameters may include an operation mode, an operation temperature, and an operation time of the cooking device. For example, in the case of a recipe for oven cooking, the cooking device control parameters in the first MRR data may include convection mode, 200° C., and 20 minutes. 
     Also, the first MRR data may include basic recipe information and cooking step information. The basic recipe information may include a dish name, a dish type, a recipe generation date, a recipe version, a cooking time, a recipe author, and cooking ingredients. The cooking step information may include information such as an original sentence of the text indicating the recipe, a cooking behavior of the user required for each step, an device control action of the user related to the cooking device, media content corresponding to the recipe, cooking ingredients required for each cooking step, and a cooking tool required for each cooking step. 
     In operation S 340 , the server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may obtain log data of the user related to device control actions performed by the user to operate the cooking device. For example, the log data may be related to device control actions performed by the user to operate the cooking device during a certain period of time. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the log data of the user may include parameters related to a control operation of the cooking device such as an operation temperature, an operation time, and the number of operations of the cooking device, and may include evaluation data of the user on cooking, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     The log data of the user according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be received by the server  2000  from the cooking device, may be received by another external device (e.g., a third party server) from the cooking device, or may be received by the server  2000  from another external device. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the log data of the user may be log data of the user obtained by recording data related to device control actions performed by the user to operate the cooking device. 
     In another embodiment of the disclosure, the log data of the user may be log data of the user related to a device control action additionally performed by the user to operate the cooking device, different from the cooking device control parameters included in the first MRR data. For example, when the cooking device control parameters included in the first MRR data include convection mode of oven, 200° C., and 20 minutes and the user additionally has been manipulated an oven to cook in a convection mode at 200° C. for 5 minutes, the log data of the user may include convention mode, 200° C., and 5 minutes. 
     In operation S 350 , the server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may generate second MRR data personalized to the user by updating the plurality of cooking device control parameters included in the first MRR, based on the obtained log data of the user. 
     When it is determined based on the log data of the user that the number of times the user operates the cooking device in a specific mode of the cooking device is equal to or greater than a certain number of times, the server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may update the plurality of cooking device control parameters included in the first MRR data to values corresponding to the log data of the user. 
     For example, when the user cooks pork, the cooking device may complete a pork dish by performing cooking operations based on the first MRR data. In particular, the user of the cooking device may further cook by additionally manipulating the cooking device (e.g., heating at 200° C. for another 5 minutes) to suit the user&#39;s preference, and the log data of the user may be generated according to the user&#39;s manipulation of the cooking device. 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may generate the second MRR data indicating a recipe personalized to the user, by changing the cooking device control parameters included in the first MRR data (e.g., by changing ‘convection mode, 200° C., and 20 minutes’ into ‘convection mode, 200° C., and 25 minutes), based on the log data of the user. 
     Also, the server  2000  may generate the second MRR data by using reinforcement learning. 
     The server  2000  may generate the second MRR data by performing reinforcement learning, by using a reinforcement learning module. In particular, the server  2000  may allocate values included in the log data of the user to compensation values. While the cooking device is operating, the server  2000  may obtain compensation values corresponding to operations of the cooking device in each cooking step, may update the cooking device control parameters in the first MRR data so that an accumulated sum of the compensation values obtained till a cooking completion step is maximized, and thus may generate the second MRR data indicating the recipe personalized to the user. 
       FIG.  4    is a diagram for describing operations of a recipe syntax analysis module included in a server, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, semantic elements refer to data related to cooking of food, recognized through an NLU model in text indicating a recipe. Semantic elements identified by using an NLU model may be classified according to categories that are preset for food cooking. For example, the semantic elements may be classified according to categories such as a cooking device, a cooking technique, cooking ingredients, a cooking tool, a cooking time, and a cooking amount. When the semantic elements according to an embodiment of the disclosure are changed, a cooking result of food cooked by a cooking device may be changed. 
     Also, the server  2000  may identify intent information determined to indicate the intent of text from the semantic elements. For example, when the input text is ‘make a sauce by mixing 3 spoons of minced garlic, 2 spoons of soy sauce 2, 2 spoons of oyster sauce, 3 spoons of oligosaccharide, and 1 spoon of melted butter.’The intent may be ‘source preparation’. When the server  2000  generates additional information to guide a cooking process based on the identified semantic elements, the server  2000  may generate the additional information by using the identified intent information. 
     Referring to  FIG.  4   , the server  2000  may obtain text indicating a recipe. The text indicating the recipe may include various information related to a cooking method such as a cooking technique, cooking ingredients, a cooking tool, a cooking device, and a cooking time. The server  2000  may determine a plurality of NLU models for syntax analysis, in order to extract semantic elements in the obtained text. In particular, each NLU model may be an NLU model trained to identify a semantic element corresponding to a specific category, and the determined NLU models may independently perform text recognition for the obtained text and may identify a plurality of semantic element output from each NLU model. 
     However, the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the server  2000  may identify semantic elements by using a plurality of NLU models that are previously determined, without determining a plurality of NLU models to be used for syntax analysis. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may identify a cooking technique semantic element by using a cooking technique NLU model, may identify a cooking ingredient semantic element by using a cooking ingredient NLU model, may identify a cooking tool semantic element by using a cooking tool NLU model, may identify a cooking device semantic element by using a cooking device NLU model, and may identify a cooking time semantic element by using a cooking time NLU model, in the obtained text. 
     A specific embodiment in which the server  2000  identifies semantic elements according to categories in obtained text will be further described with reference to  FIG.  5   . 
       FIG.  5    is a diagram for describing a method performed by a server for identifying semantic elements with a plurality of NLU models, by using a recipe syntax analysis module, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may obtain text indicating a recipe for various foods. The following will be described assuming that the text indicating the recipe obtained by the server  2000  is text indicating ‘chicken recipe’. 
     For obtained text  510  indicating a ‘chicken recipe,’ the server  2000  may determine that a plurality of NLU models to be used for analyze the text are a cooking technique NLU model, a cooking ingredient NLU model, a cooking tool NLU model, a cooking device NLU model, and a cooking time NLU model, from among a plurality of NLU models stored in a storage. The server  2000  may identify semantic elements according to categories corresponding to respective NLU models, by using the determined NLU models. 
     For example, the server  2000  may identify at least one semantic element related to a cooking technique, by applying the text  510  indicating the ‘chicken recipe’ to the cooking technique NLU model. In detail, the server  2000  may identify, from the text  510  indicating the chicken recipe, cooking technique semantic elements  520  that may change a cooking result according to a cooking technique of a user in a cooking process such as ‘to remove the smell,’ soak for about 30 minutes and rinse under running water to remove moisture,′ make a sauce by mixing well,′ sheathed chicken,′ ‘mix ⅔ of the seasoning,’ and ‘marinate for 30 minutes’. 
     In another embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may identify at least one semantic element related to cooking ingredients, by applying the text  510  indicating the ‘chicken recipe’ to the cooking ingredient NLU model. In detail, the server  2000  may identify, from the text  510  indicating the chicken recipe, cooking ingredient semantic elements  530  that may change a cooking result according to cooking ingredients in a cooking process such as ‘chicken,’ ‘milk or rice water,’ ‘3 spoons of minced garlic,’ ‘2 spoons of soy sauce,’ ‘2 spoons of oyster sauce,’ ‘3 spoons of oligosaccharide,’ ‘1 spoon of melted butter,’ and ‘parsley powder’. 
     In another embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may identify at least one semantic element related to a cooking tool, by applying the text  510  indicating the ‘chicken recipe’ to the cooking tool NLU model. In detail, the server  2000  may identify, from the text  510  indicating the chicken recipe, cooking tool semantic elements  540  that may change a cooking result according to a cooking tool, such as ‘oven pan’. 
     In the same manner, the server  2000  may identify cooking device semantic elements  550  and cooking time semantic elements  560  output according to models, by respectively applying the text  510  indicating the ‘chicken recipe’ to the cooking device NLU model and the cooking time NLU model. 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may generate first MRR data and additional information, by using semantic elements obtained according to categories by applying each NLU model to text indicating a recipe. 
       FIG.  6    is a diagram for describing detailed elements of an additional information generation module for generating additional information based on identified semantic elements, included in a server, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may generate additional information for guiding food cooking, by using the additional information generation module  2320 . In particular, the additional information generation module  2320  may include a cooking guide information generation module  610 , an advertisement information acquisition module  620 , a content information acquisition module  630 , and an alternative recipe information acquisition module  640 . 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may generate cooking guide information, based on semantic elements identified in text indicating a recipe. 
     For example, the server  2000  may convert a time-related expression from among the identified semantic elements into a numerical form by using the cooking guide information generation module  610 , and may generate additional information for guiding taste information that varies when a cooking time applied for each cooking step increases or decreases. In another example, the server  2000  may identify an amount-related expression from among the identified semantic elements, and may generate additional information for guiding taste information that varies when the amount of cooking ingredients applied for each cooking step increases or decreases. In another embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may identify a temperature-related expression from among the identified semantic elements, and may generate additional information for guiding taste information that varies when a cooking temperature for each cooking step increases or decreases. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may obtain advertisement information, based on the semantic elements identified in the test indicating the recipe. 
     For example, the server  2000  may identify an item such as cooking ingredients, a cooking tool, or a cooking device from the identified semantic elements, and may search for advertisement information related to the identified item, by using the advertisement information acquisition module  620 . Also, the server  2000  may identify an item such as cooking ingredients, a cooking tool, or a cooking device from MRR data, and may search for advertisement information related to the identified item, by using the advertisement information acquisition module  620 . The advertisement information acquisition module  620  may match the searched advertisement information to a corresponding semantic element and may generate additional information capable of providing advertisement information for each cooking step. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may obtain content information based on the semantic elements identified in the text indicating the recipe. 
     For example, the server  2000  may identify an expression related to a cooking technique, a plating method, a cooking tool, or cooking ingredients from among the identified semantic elements, by using the content information acquisition module  630 . The server  2000  may search for media content such as a video, an image, or an audio related to the identified expression, by using the content information acquisition module  630 . The server  2000  may match the searched content to a corresponding semantic element and may generate additional information capable of providing media content for each cooking step. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may obtain alternative recipe information based on the semantic elements identified in the text indicating the recipe and user profile information obtained from a user. 
     For example, the server  2000  may search for a cooking method other than a cooking method written in the currently identified recipe, based on identified recipe information and user profile information (e.g., a cooking device owned by the user and taste preference of the user), by using the alternative recipe information acquisition module  640 . The server  2000  may generate, as additional information, a recipe obtained by modifying at least a part of the current recipe or a recipe replacing the current recipe, based on the searched cooking method. 
     Although an embodiment of generating additional information for guiding cooking has been described with reference to  FIG.  6   , this is merely an example for convenience of explanation, and various additional information modules for guiding cooking in addition to the above-described addition information may be included. 
     When the server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure generates a recipe card by using a card recipe generation module  2350 , the server  2000  may generate the recipe card in which additional information corresponding to each cooking step is included. The server  2000  may provide the recipe card including the additional information to the user. Also, when the server  2000  generates MRR data, the server  2000  may insert additional information into the MRR data and may store the additional information in the MRR data. 
       FIG.  7    is a diagram for describing a method performed by a server for generating first MRR data by using semantic elements identified from a plurality of NLU models, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  7   , the server  2000  may identify a plurality of semantic elements  710  from text indicating a recipe, by using a plurality of NLU models. A method performed by the server  2000  for identifying the plurality of semantic elements  710  has been described with reference to  FIG.  5   , and thus a description thereof will be omitted for simplicity of description. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, first MRR data  730  may be data generated based on the identified semantic elements and may be data structured to be readable by a cooking device. 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may generate cooking device control parameters  720  corresponding to the identified semantic elements  710 , by using a first MRR data generation module. In particular, the cooking device control parameters  720  may be entities included in the first MRR data and may indicate elements related to cooking in the recipe. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, a semantic element may be identified as a sentence The server  2000  may extract text that is an important keyword from the semantic element by using the first MRR data generation module, and may generate entity data to be included in the first MRR data  730 . For example, the server  2000  may extract ‘stir’ as a keyword from ‘stir ingredients in a bowl’ of a cooking technique semantic element, and may generate the extracted ‘stir’ as a cooking device control parameter corresponding to a cooking technique category  721 . Also, the server  2000  may extract ‘wait’ as a keyword from ‘wait for 5 minutes when it&#39;s done’ of a cooking technique semantic element, and may generate the extracted ‘wait’ as a cooking device control parameter corresponding to the cooking technique category  721 . 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, a semantic elements may be identified as a word. The server  2000  may extract, as a keyword, a semantic element identified as a word, by using the first MRR data generation module, and may generate a cooking device control parameter to be included in the first MRR data. For example, the server  2000  may extract ‘banana 3˜4 ea’ as a keyword from ‘3˜4 bananas’ of a cooking ingredient semantic element, and may generate the extracted ‘banana 3˜4 ea’ as a cooking device control parameter corresponding to a cooking ingredient category  722 . Also, the server  2000  may extract ‘egg 2ea’ as a keyword from ‘2 eggs’ of a cooking ingredient semantic element, and may generate the extracted ‘egg 2ea’ as a cooking device control parameter corresponding to the cooking ingredient category  722 . 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, an identified semantic element may be identified as a general pronoun (e.g., ‘bowl’) due to the nature of a text recipe. The server  2000  may generate a cooking device control parameter to be included in the first MRR data by changing a corresponding semantic element into a suitable keyword, by using the first MRR data generation module. For example, the server  2000  may generate ‘oven pan’ that is a bowl suitable for an oven and is changed from ‘bowl’ that is the identified semantic element of a cooking tool category  723 , as a cooking device control parameter corresponding to the cooking tool category  723 , with reference to ‘heat at 200° C. for 10 minutes in an oven’, by using the first MRR data generation module. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, when an extracted semantic element includes a plurality of keywords required for cooking, the server  2000  may generate a cooking device control parameter as a combination of the plurality of keywords. 
     For example, the server  2000  may extract ‘200° C. and oven preheat’ that are two keywords from ‘preheat the oven to 200° C.’ that is a semantic element of a cooking device category  724 , and may generate a cooking device control parameter to be included in the first MRR data  730 . In another embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may extract ‘200° C. and heat’ that are two keywords from ‘heat at 200° C. for 10 minutes in an oven’ that is a semantic element of the cooking device category  724 , and may generate a cooking device control parameter to be included in the first MRR data  730 . 
     Also, for a semantic element of a cooking time category  725 , the server  2000  may generate a cooking device control parameter by also extracting a keyword indicating which cooking operation is included. For example, the server  2000  may extract ‘10 min and heat’ that are two keywords from ‘heat for 10 minutes’ that is a semantic element of the cooking time category  725 , and may generate a cooking device control parameter. In another embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may extract ‘5 min and wait’ that are two keywords from ‘wait for 5 minutes’ that is a semantic element of the cooking time category  725 , and may generate a cooking device control parameter to be included in the first MRR data  730 . 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, from among cooking device control parameters included in the first MRR data  730 , cooking device control parameters of the cooking device category  724  and the cooking time category  725  may be related to a control operation of the cooking device. 
     The server  2000  may generate the cooking device control parameters  720  to be included in the first MRR data  730  from the identified semantic elements  710 , and may generate the first MRR data  730  by inserting the generated cooking device control parameters  720  into a format of the structured first MRR data, by using the first MRR data generation module. Although the first MRR data written in a JSON format is illustrated in  FIG.  7    for convenience of explanation, the disclosure is not limited thereto. The first MRR data  730  may be implemented and structured in any of various programming languages. 
     The first MRR data  730  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include name, cuisine, dataPublished, version, language, cookTime, image, author, ingredient, etc. which are basic recipe information for managing recipe information (e.g., storing and searching for each category). The basic recipe information may be extracted from the text indicating the recipe obtained by the server  2000 , and when there is no corresponding information, the basic recipe information may be left blank, and may be updated through information received from the user or information input from an external device. 
       FIG.  8    is a diagram for describing a method, performed by a server, of identifying semantic elements from text indicating a recipe by using a first MRR data generation module, generating cooking device control parameters, and thus generating first MRR data so that the recipe is readable by a cooking device, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     The server  2000  may put cooking device control parameters generated from semantic elements into a structured area and may store the cooking device control parameters, by using a first MRR generation module.  FIG.  8    illustrates first MRR data  810  corresponding to a preheating step from among a plurality of cooking steps included in a recipe for convenience of explanation. 
     Referring to  FIG.  8   , first MRR data may include cooking step information in each cooking step. For example, in the first MRR data  810  corresponding to the oven preheating step, cooking device control parameters generated from semantic elements may be structured to include a plurality of data areas. 
     For example, the plurality of data areas may include an instruction area  811  indicating an original sentence of the recipe, an action area  812  indicating data determined as a cooking operation, a device area  813  indicating data determined as a cooking device-related expression, and a media area  814  indicating content (e.g., a video or an image) that is additional information matchable to a cooking step. 
     In this case, although the action area  812  from among the data areas included in the first MRR data may include an ingredient area  815  related to cooking ingredients and a tool area  816  related to a cooking tool, the disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the action area  812  from among the data areas included in the first MRR data  810  corresponding to the oven preheating step may include cooking device control parameters indicating ‘cooking operation, start, end, ingredients, and tool’ as a sub-structure. Also, the device area  813  may include cooking device control parameters indicating ‘cooking device type and cooking temperature’ as a sub-structure. Also, the media area  814  may include additional information data such as ‘content type and url of content’ as a sub-structure. The additional information data may be generated by an additional information generation module. 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may generate first MRR data by inserting cooking device control parameters into each data area, by using the first MRR data generation module.

The log data of the user may include parameters related to a control operation of a cooking device such as an operation temperature, an operation time, and the number of operations of the cooking device, and may include evaluation of the user for a completed dish. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the log data of the user may be generated from the cooking device and may be provided to the server  2000 . For example, the log data of the user may be generated for all device control actions performed by the user to operate the cooking device, may be provided to the server  2000 , and may be stored in a database of the server  2000 . In another embodiment of the disclosure, the log data of the user may be generated for device control actions performed by the user to operate the cooking device, different from cooking device control parameters included in first MRR data, and then may be stored in the database of the server  2000 . 
     In the above embodiments of the disclosure, the server  2000  may identify semantic elements in text  950  indicating a recipe, and may generate first MRR data. 
     Also, the server  2000  may control the cooking device based on the first MRR data. The cooking device may perform a control operation based on cooking device control parameters included in the first MRR data. 
     For example, the server  2000  may provide control information to the cooking device, based on a cooking device control parameter generated from a cooking step  960  for ‘heat at 200° C. for 10 minutes in an oven’. The cooking device may perform a control operation for ‘heat at 200° C. and 10 minutes’ based on the received control information. In this case, the user may input an operation of additionally controlling the cooking device. In detail, when the first MRR data may be generated based on a microwave oven having an output of 1000 watts (W) and a microwave oven of the user has an output of 700 W, the user may additionally input an operation of heating the 700 W microwave oven for additional cooking. Also, when the user prefers more heated and crispy food according to the user&#39;s preference, the user may additionally input an operation of additionally heating at 200° C. for 4 minutes after an operation of heating at 200° C. for 10 minutes in an oven. 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may collect log data of the user related to an operation of controlling the cooking device of the user, and may store the log data in the database of the server. Also, the server  2000  may obtain stored log data of the user by using the log data acquisition module  910 , and may generate second MRR data  970  based on the obtained log data. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may extract cooking device control parameters related to the control operation of the cooking device in the first MRR data, by using the first MRR data extraction module  920 . In this case, the server  2000  may generate the second MRR data  970  by updating the cooking device control parameters in the first MRR data, by using the MRR data transformation module  940 . 
     In detail, the server  2000  may extract cooking device control parameters generated from the cooking step for ‘heat at 200° C. for 10 minutes in an oven’ in the first MRR data, by using the first MRR data extraction module  920 . In this case, the extracted cooking device control parameters may indicate ‘heat at 200° C. and 10 minutes’. Also, the log data of the user may be ‘additionally heat at 200° C. and 4 minutes’. The server  2000  may generate the second MRR data  970  that is MRR data personalized to the user, by updating ‘heat at 200° C. and 10 minutes’ that are the cooking device control parameters in the first MRR data to ‘heat at 200° C. and 14 minutes,’ by using the MRR data transformation module  940 . 
     In generating the second MRR data  970 , the server  2000  may determine whether the additional action is taken as part of the same cooking process that is started using the first MRR data. For example, the server  2000  may determine whether the oven door is opened and the weight of the oven rack has changed, by using one or more sensors mounted in the oven (e.g., a door sensor such as a reed switch, a weight scale for sensing the weight of the oven rack, etc.) to determine the additional action is taken as part of the same cooking process. The server  2000  may also identify the time at which the additional action is taken, and may determine the additional action is taken as part of the same cooking process if the additional action occurs before the end of the originally set cooking time (e.g., 10 minutes) or within a predetermined time period (e.g., 5 minutes) from the end of the originally set cooking time. 
     Various methods may be used as a method, performed by the server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure, of generating the second MRR data  970  by updating the first MRR data. 
     For example, when the number of times the user operates the cooking device in a specific mode is equal to or greater than a certain number of times based on the log data of the user, the server  2000  may update the plurality of cooking device control parameters included in the first MRR data to values corresponding to the log data of the user. 
     In another embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may generate the second MRR data  970  by performing reinforcement learning using the log data of the user, by using the reinforcement learning module, which will be described in detail with reference to  FIG.  10   . 
       FIG.  10    is a diagram for describing an embodiment of the disclosure where the server  2000  performs reinforcement learning based on log data of a user when second MRR data is generated, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  10   , the server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may provide control information for controlling a cooking device to the cooking device, based on first MRR data. As the server  2000  provides the control information to the cooking device, the cooking device may perform control operations. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may obtain compensation values for the control operations of the cooking device corresponding to the control information. In this case, the compensation values may be determined based on log data of a user. For example, the compensation values may be determined based on cooking device control parameters related to the control operations of the cooking device manipulated by the user, and in detail, the compensation values may be determined based on an operation mode, an operation temperature, an operation time, and the number of operations of the cooking device manipulated by the user. In this case, each of the compensation values may have a positive value or a negative value. 
     In detail, in an embodiment of the disclosure, the log data of the user may include a cooking device operation history corresponding to ‘additionally heat at 200° C. and 4 minutes’. In this case, in order to perform reinforcement learning so that the cooking device performs a control operation for ‘additionally heat at 200° C. and 4 minutes,’ a compensation value may be determined to be a positive value. In another embodiment of the disclosure, the log data of the user includes a cooking device operation history corresponding to ‘additionally heat at 200° C. and 4 minutes,’ but may further include negative evaluation of the user on a corresponding control operation or a completed dish. In this case, in order to perform reinforcement learning so that the cooking device does not perform a control operation for ‘additionally heat at 200° C. and 4 minutes,’ a compensation value may be determined to be a negative value. 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may obtain the compensation values for the control operations of the cooking device corresponding to the control information. 
     For example, as the server  2000  provides first control information to the cooking device and the cooking device performs a first control operation  1010 , the server  2000  may obtain a first compensation value corresponding to the first control operation  1010 . In detail, when the first control operation  1010  is performed to match the log data of the user within a certain error range, the server  2000  may obtain the first compensation value. 
     In this case, the first control operation  1010  may include not only a control operation performed by the cooking device by receiving the first control information from the server but also an additional device control action performed by a user  1000  by receiving first input data of the user who manipulates the cooking device while the cooking device operates. Also, the first input data received from the user  1000  while the cooking device operates may be collected as the log data of the user and may be stored in a database in the server  2000 . The server  2000  may allocate the first input data that is the stored log data to a compensation value. 
     Also, as the server  2000  provides second control information to the cooking device and the cooking device performs a second control operation  1020 , the server  2000  may obtain a second compensation value corresponding to the second control operation  1020 . In detail, when the second control operation  1020  is performed by the cooking device to match the log data of the user within a certain error range, the server  2000  may obtain the second compensation value. 
     In this case, the second control operation  1020  may include not only a control operation performed by the cooking device by receiving the second control information from the server but also an additional device control action performed by the user  1000  by receiving input data of the user who manipulates the cooking device while the cooking device operates. Also, referring to  FIG.  10   , as the second control operation  1020  is performed by the cooking device without receiving input data of the user, the second compensation value may be obtained. 
     In the same manner, as the server  2000  provides Nth control information to the cooking device and the cooking device performs an Nth control operation, the server  2000  may obtain an Nth compensation value for the Nth control operation. 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may receive evaluation data of the user on food cooked by an operation of the cooking device. In this case, the server  2000  may receive the evaluation data of the user from the client device  3000  of the user, or the user  1000  may input the evaluation data to the cooking device and the server  2000  may receive the evaluation data of the user from the cooking device. 
     Also, the evaluation data on the cooked food received from the user  1000  may be collected as log data of the user and may be stored in the database in the server  2000 . The server  2000  may allocate the evaluation data of the user that is the stored log data may be allocated to a compensation value. 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may generate second MRR data by updating cooking device control parameters included in first MRR data, based on an accumulated sum of compensation values obtained from control operations corresponding to cooking steps of food. For example, the server  2000  may update the cooking device control parameters included in the first MRR data so that the obtained accumulated sum of the compensation values is maximized, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     A method, performed by the server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure, of generating the second MRR data by updating the cooking device control parameters included in the first MRR has been described with reference to  FIG.  9   , and thus a description thereof will be omitted. 
       FIG.  11    is a diagram for describing a method, performed by a server, of generating a recipe card, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may generate a plurality of first recipe cards, by using generated first MRR data and generated additional information. The generated first recipe cards may be provided to the client device  3000 . 
     In  FIG.  11   , first MRR data  1110  corresponding to a preheating step from among a plurality of cooking steps included in a recipe described with reference to  FIG.  8    will be described as an example. 
     Referring to  FIG.  11   , the first MRR data  1110  corresponding to the preheating step may include ‘preheat’ that is information on a cooking operation, ‘oven’ that is information on a cooking device, and ‘200° C.’. Also, the first MRR data  1110  may further include additional information related to a cooking step (e.g., a cooking video received in the preheating step). 
     The server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may generate a first recipe card  1120  corresponding to a preheating cooking step by using the first MRR data and the additional information. 
     The first recipe card  1120  generated by using the first MRR data  1110  may include summary information  1121  representatively summarizing a current cooking step, content information  1122  indicating content related to additional information (e.g., an image or a video) corresponding to the current cooking step, text sentence information  1123  indicating an original recipe indicating the current cooking step, and information  1124  indicating an interoperable function in the current cooking step. 
     The summary information  1121  of the first recipe card  1120  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be generated when the server  2000  interprets text by using an NLU model and obtains intent information determined to indicate the intent of the text. For example, when text for a cooking step is ‘preheat the oven to 200° C.,’ intent information determined to be the intent of the text may be ‘preheat’. 
     Although not shown in  FIG.  11   , in another example, the intent information determined to be the intent of the text may be ‘cooking preparation step’. When the server  2000  generates the first recipe card  1120 , the server  2000  may determine the summary information  1121  to be included in the first recipe card  1120  by using the intent information. 
     The content information  1122  of the first recipe card  1120  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be obtained by searching for an image or a video related to a current cooking step, or may be obtained together when the text indicating the recipe is obtained. For example, when the text for the cooking step is ‘preheat the oven to 200° C.,’ the server  2000  may obtain an image of guiding an oven preheating operation based on semantic elements identified from the text. In another example, the server  2000  may obtain an image or a video of guiding matters required for cooking preparation, based on the ‘cooking preparation step’ that is the intent information determined to be the intent of the text. When the server  2000  generates the first recipe card, the server  2000  may determine the content information  1122  to be included in the first recipe card  1120 . 
     The recipe sentence information  1123  of the first recipe card  1120  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be an original sentence of the recipe based on which the first recipe card is generated. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, as a result obtained when the server  2000  recognizes the text by using the NLU model, when a recipe sentence for a corresponding cooking step is too long to be displayed on the first recipe card  1120 , the server  2000  may divide and display the sentence based on the semantic elements identified in the text. 
     In another embodiment of the disclosure, when recipe sentences are too short to convey meaning indicating a recipe step in units of sentences, the server  2000  may generate a recipe sentence and may determine the recipe sentence information  1123  to be included in the first recipe card  1120 , based on the semantic elements identified in the text. 
     The information  1124  indicating an interoperable function of the first recipe card  1120  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be generated by the server by using additional information generated based on the semantic elements identified in the text. 
     In one embodiment of the disclosure, the information  1124  indicating the interoperable function may include a control linking function for controlling a cooking device that operates in a current cooking step, an advertisement/purchase linking function for providing advertisement and purchase related to a cooking tool and cooking ingredients required in a cooking step, an alternative cooking method content provision linking function for replacing a cooking method of a corresponding step, and a guide information provision linking function for guiding a result of a change in taste information, cooking ingredients, and a cooking amount as a cooking time applied for each cooking step increases or decreases. 
     Also, the server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may generate a second recipe card including cooking information personalized to the user by using second MRR data and additional information. This is the same as a method of generating the first recipe card  1120 , and thus a description thereof will be omitted. 
     The user of the client device may receive the first recipe card  1120  or the second recipe card according to an embodiment of the disclosure, and may receive an interaction with the server and the cooking device through the first recipe card  1120  or the second recipe card. 
     For example, the user of the client device may control the cooking device, may purchase a cooking tool required for a cooking step, may receive content related to cooking, or may receive information for guiding a cooking method, by clicking an icon indicating the information  1124  indicating the inoperable function of the first recipe card  1120  according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
       FIG.  12    is a diagram for describing a method, performed by a server, of generating a recipe card for each cooking step, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     In  FIG.  12   , a recipe card may be a first recipe card generated from first MRR data, and may be a second recipe card including cooking information personalized to a user generated from second MRR data. For convenience of explanation, both a first recipe card and a second recipe card are referred to as ‘recipe cards’. 
     Referring to  FIG.  12   , the server  2000  may generate a recipe card in each cooking step for a ‘banana bread recipe,’ by using generated MRR data and generated additional information. In this case, a cooking step of the ‘banana bread recipe’ may include first through fourth steps. 
     The server  2000  may determine a type of a cooking step in the recipe by using identified semantic elements. The server  2000  may determine a type of a recipe card corresponding to each cooking step based on the determined type of the cooking step, MRR data, and additional information. Also, one recipe card is not limited to only one type, and one recipe card may include a plurality of types. 
     For example, the determined type of the recipe card may be a cooking device control type. In an embodiment of the disclosure, because a first cooking step corresponding to a recipe card  1210  indicating a first cooking step is ‘preheat’ and a third cooking step corresponding to a recipe card  1230  indicating a third cooking step is ‘heat,’ the first cooking step and the third cooking step may require control of an oven that is a cooking device. In this case, recipe cards respectively corresponding to the first cooking step and the third cooking step may include cooking device control buttons  1215  and  1235 . The server  2000  may receive a cooking device control request according to an input of a user who selects the cooking device control buttons  1215  and  1235  from the client device  3000 . When the server  2000  according to an embodiment of the disclosure receives the cooking device control request, the server  2000  may provide cooking device control information included in the MRR data to the cooking device to control the cooking device. 
     In another embodiment of the disclosure, the determined type of the recipe card may be a cooking item purchase type. In an embodiment of the disclosure, a recipe card  1220  indicating a second cooking step may include a cooking item purchase button  1225 . In this case, the server  2000  may receive a purchase information provision request according to an input of the user who selects the cooking item purchase button  1225  from the client device  3000 . Cooking items that are purchasable from the cooking item purchase button  1225  may include various items related to cooking of a corresponding recipe such as cooking ingredients and a cooking tool. When a recipe card is generated, the server  2000  may add additional information such as advertisement information or purchase information, in relation to a cooking item included in a cooking step, to the recipe card. When the server  2000  receives a cooking item purchase information provision request, the server  2000  may provide cooking item purchase information to the client device  3000 . 
     In another embodiment of the disclosure, the determined type of the recipe card may be a cooking information provision type. In an embodiment of the disclosure, the recipe card  1220  indicating the second cooking step and a recipe card  1240  indicating a fourth cooking step may respectively include cooking information provision buttons  1227  and  1245 . In this case, the server  2000  may receive a cooking information provision request according to an input of the user who selects the cooking information provision button  1227  from the client device  3000 . 
     Additional information related to cooking information provision may include image or photograph information on a cooking technique, sub-recipe information derived from a corresponding recipe, information on a cooking time, and plating information of a completed dish. The server  2000  may provide cooking information on a cooking step corresponding to a recipe card to the client device  3000 , according to an input of the user who selects the cooking information provision button  1245  from the client device  3000 . 
     Although a cooking device control type, a cooking item purchase type, and a cooking information provision type have been described as types of recipe cards in the above embodiments of the disclosure, these are merely examples. Types of recipe cards may be determined to provide various functions related to cooking and information related to cooking by using MRR data and additional information. 
       FIG.  13    is a diagram for describing a method, performed by a server, of changing and optimizing generated MRR data according to a cooking device of a user, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     In  FIG.  13   , MRR data may be first MRR data or second MRR data personalized to a user according to the above embodiments of the disclosure. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, both first MRR data and second MRR data are referred to as ‘MRR data’. 
     When generated MRR data is not suitable for a cooking device owned by a user, the server  2000  may change the MRR data so that food is cooked by another cooking device owned by the user. 
     For example, in a cooking step, MRR data  1310  generated for ‘heat at 200° C. for 10 minutes in an oven’ may be generated based on an oven. In this case, the server  2000  may receive cooking device identification information of the user from the client device  3000 . 
     When the received cooking device identification information of the user is a 2000 W microwave oven, the server  2000  may change ‘cook at 200° C. for 10 minutes in an oven’ that is data indicating a cooking operation in the MRR data into ‘cook for 10 minutes in a 2000 W microwave oven,’ and may generate MRR data  1320  for a 2000 W microwave oven. 
     Also, when the received cooking device identification information of the user is 700 W microwave oven, the server  2000  may change ‘cook at 200° C. for 10 minutes in an oven’ that is data indicating a corresponding operation in the MRR data into ‘cook for 15 minutes in a 700 W microwave oven,’ and may generate MRR data  1330  for a 700 W microwave oven. 
     In another example (not shown), in MRR data generated for ‘heat in warm water for 2 days (sous-vide)’ in a cooking step, a sous-vide cooking method may be a function that may be used only in a specific cooking device and is not supported by a cooking device owned by the user. In this case, the server  2000  may receive cooking device identification information of the user from the client device  3000 . 
     Based on the received cooking device identification information of the user, the server  2000  may change the MRR data into a function related to a cooking device of the user that may replace the sous-vide cooking method. 
     In another example (not shown), MRR data generated for ‘stir ingredients in a bowl’ in a cooking step may be a function that is provided in a specific cooking device but is not provided in another cooking device. In this case, the server  2000  may receive cooking device identification information of the user from the client device  3000 . 
     Based on the received cooking device identification information of the user, when a function of a cooking device indicated the MRR data is a function that may not be performed in a cooking device of the user, the server  2000  may change and provide a recipe card corresponding to the MRR data into content for guiding the user to directly stir cooking ingredients. 
     The server  2000  may obtain identification information of another cooking device, and may change at least part of the MRR data so that food is cooked by the other cooking device, based on the identification information of the other cooking device. 
       FIG.  14    is a diagram for describing a method, performed by a server, of changing and optimizing generated MRR data based on various user information, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     In  FIG.  14   , MRR data may be first MRR data or second MRR data personalized to a user according to the above embodiments of the disclosure. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, both first MRR data and second MRR data are referred to as ‘MRR data’. 
     Referring to  FIG.  14   , the server  2000  may obtain text indicating a recipe of ‘pork belly pasta,’ and may generate MRR data according to the above embodiments of the disclosure. 
     In an embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may receive characteristic information about characteristics of food input by a user from the client device  3000 . The characteristic information of food input by the user may include taste characteristics of food (e.g., degree of hotness, sweetness, or saltiness), and heating characteristics of food (e.g., rare or medium rare), but the disclosure is not limited thereto. The characteristic information of food may include various information that is related to food cooing and may be changed by the user. 
     The server  2000  may change at least part of the MRR data generated from the text indicating the recipe of ‘pork belly pasta,’ based on the received characteristic information. 
     For example, the server  2000  may change the MRR data based on taste preference of the user included in the characteristic information received from the user. When the user prefers hot food, the server  2000  may change MRR data indicating ‘3-5 pepperoncinos and 1 teaspoon of red pepper powder’ related to hot taste in the MRR data into data of ‘5-8 pepperoncinos and 2 teaspoons of red pepper powder’. 
     In another embodiment of the disclosure, the server  2000  may obtain food ingredient information of the user. The food ingredient information of the user that is input by the user may be received by the server  2000  from the client  3000 , may be received by the server  2000  from a smart home appliance (e.g., a refrigerator) capable of performing data communication with the server  2000 , or may be received by the server  2000  from another server (e.g., a cloud server). 
     The server  2000  may change at least part of first MRR data generated from the text indicating the recipe of ‘pork belly pasta,’ based on the food ingredient information of the user. 
     For example, when alternative cooking is possible by using food ingredients owned by the user without needing to purchase new food ingredients, the server  2000  may change MRR data indicating ‘pepperoncino’ in the MRR data into data of ‘Cheongyang pepper’ that may replace pepperoncino. 
     However, embodiments where the server  2000  changes MRR data are not limited thereto, and the server  2000  may optimize MRR data according to user tendency/state/situation, by changing the MRR data by using various information of the user which may be applied to recipes. 
     For example, the server  2000  may change MRR data based on country/region information of the user. When it is difficult to purchase ‘pepperoncino’ that is an ingredient required in a recipe in a country/region where the user is located, the server  2000  providing cooking information may change data related to ‘pepperoncino’ in the MRR data into data related to ‘Cheongyang pepper’ that may replace pepperoncino. 
     In another example, the server  2000  may change the MRR data based on health information of the user. When the user is on a diet, the server  2000  may change data related to ‘pork belly’ in the MRR data to data related to ‘chicken breasts’. 
     In another example, the server  2000  may change the generated MRR data by using cooking device information preferred by the user. When a cooking device preferred by the user is an ‘air fryer,’ the server  2000  may change data related to an operation of an ‘oven’ in the MRR data into data related to an operation of an ‘air fryer’.
