Monitoring recipe preparation using instructive device and generating an alert to provide feedback
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a recipe selection from a user;
retrieving, from a data store, a plurality of preparation steps corresponding to the selected recipe;
sequentially displaying each of the plurality of retrieved preparation steps to the user on a display device included in an interactive cooking preparation device;
monitoring, using one or more sensors, a current preparation step, selected from the plurality of retrieved preparation steps, the current preparation step being performed by the user; and
generating an alert in response to the monitoring revealing that the user'"'"'s performance varies from a threshold corresponding to the current preparation step.

Abstract
An interactive cooking preparation device is presented. The user places ingredients that the user wishes to use in a recipe. The interactive cooking preparation device detects the ingredients placed by the user in the detection area of the interactive cooking preparation device using sensors. The detection results in a set of ingredient identifiers that correspond to the placed ingredients. A recipes database is then searched for the detected set of ingredient identifiers. The database search results in one or more suggested recipes. The suggested recipes are displayed to the user on a display device that is included in the interactive cooking preparation device. The user then selects one of the suggested recipes.
