Abstract

There is provided an information processing device including a detection unit configured to detect a plurality of pieces of food which are eating targets from an image obtained by imaging eating of a user, and a recommendation unit configured to recommend at least the food to be subsequently ingested in real time among the plurality of pieces of food so that the user ingests the plurality of pieces of food detected by the detection unit in an order satisfying a predetermined purpose.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a detection unit configured to detect a plurality of pieces of food which are eating targets from an image obtained by imaging eating of a user, and

a recommendation unit configured to recommend at least the food to be subsequently ingested in real time among the plurality of pieces of food so that the user ingests the plurality of pieces of food detected by the detection unit in an order satisfying a predetermined purpose.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the recommendation unit generates an emphasis image showing the food to be subsequently ingested in an emphatic manner and causes a display unit to display the emphasis image.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the recommendation unit generates an inhibitive image showing the food to be inhibited from being subsequently ingested in an inhibitive manner and causes a display unit to display the inhibitive image.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an accumulation unit configured to accumulate a history of past eating of the user,

wherein the recommendation unit recommends at least the food to be subsequently ingested further based on the history accumulated by the accumulation unit.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a recognition unit configured to recognize an eating situation of the user from the image obtained by imaging the eating of the user,

wherein the recommendation unit recommends at least the food to be subsequently ingested further based on the situation recognized by the recognition unit.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a transmission unit configured to transmit guidance information for guiding the user to the food recommended by the recommendation unit to an eating utensil having a function of guiding the user based on received information.

7. The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein the emphasis image is an image beautifying an outer appearance of the food.

8. The information processing device according to claim 3, wherein the inhibitive image is an image degrading an outer appearance of the food.

9. The information processing device according to claim 3, wherein the inhibitive image is an image screening the food from the user.

10. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the order satisfying the predetermined purpose is an order of suppressing an increase in a blood-sugar level of the user.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program stored therein, the program causing a computer to execute:

detecting a plurality of pieces of food which are eating targets from an image obtained by imaging eating of a user, and

recommending at least the food to be subsequently ingested in real time among the plurality of pieces of food so that the user ingests the plurality of pieces of food detected by the user in an order satisfying a predetermined purpose.
