Cooking assistant service in smart home

In order to facilitate residents in smart homes,Smart Cooking Assistant Service(SCAS) is developed to give hint during cooking process.Recipes of dishes matched by names are automatically mined via internet,and ontology of cooking stuffs and Chinese dishes is created and updated by the service.If no matches can be found,dish name is resolved by a NLP toolkit so that a proposed spice list can be built based on the ontology.Finally,hints of sprinkling spices are provided via UI integrated to the spice rack so as to achieve affordance and reduce interaction effort.
