SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACTIVE GUIDED ASSISTANCE

摘要

Disclosed here is a technology for providing active guided assistance in culinary execution to consumers in real-time. The guided assistance can take the form of a platform system implemented on an electronic device that provides recipes, recipe details (e.g., timing, techniques, cooking tools, ingredients, steps), and one or more guidance tools including any one of a meal plan, a shopping list, a nutrition tracker (or “health tracker”), a taste profile, or an allergen/medical filter. The guided assistance dynamically adapts its content in response to a user's understanding and progress with respect to each step in executing a recipe. The content includes integrated culinary information collected from various sources of information, including a system-generated database or third-party systems.
