Abstract
A method, computer program product, and system for generating flavor profile models are provided. An alpha flavor model is determined. An electrode signal is transmitted to a taste simulator based on the alpha flavor model. User feedback is received. A variance between the alpha flavor model and the user feedback is determined. The variance is compared to a predetermined threshold. In response to determining that the variance is greater than the predetermined threshold, a beta flavor model is generated.
Claims13
A computer program product, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to determine an alpha model for a user taste profile;
- program instructions to transmit an electrode signal, corresponding to a taste profile, to a taste simulator, based on the alpha model;
- program instructions to release at least one first chemical that replicates a scent of the taste profile, based on the alpha model;
- program instructions to receive a user feedback on the taste profile introduced through the electrode signal and the at least one first chemical;
- program instructions to determine a variance between the alpha model and the user feedback;
- program instructions to compare the variance to a predetermined threshold;
- in response to a determination that the variance is greater than the predetermined threshold, program instructions to generate a beta model for the user taste profile;
- program instructions to transmit a second electrode signal to the taste simulator in combination with a release of at least one second chemical, wherein the second electrode signal and the at least one second chemical correspond to a taste profile of a food dish, based on the user taste profile;
- and
- program instructions to receive a second set of user feedback on the taste profile of the food dish introduced through the second electrode signal and the at least one second chemical.
A computer system, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer readable storage media;
- program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to determine an alpha model for a user taste profile;
- program instructions to transmit an electrode signal, corresponding to a taste profile, to a taste simulator, based on the alpha model;
- program instructions to release at least one first chemical that replicates a scent of the taste profile, based on the alpha model;
- program instructions to receive a user feedback on the taste profile introduced through the electrode signal and the at least one first chemical;
- program instructions to determine a variance between the alpha model and the user feedback;
- program instructions to compare the variance to a predetermined threshold;
- in response to a determination that the variance is greater than the predetermined threshold, program instructions to generate a beta model for the user taste profile;
- program instructions to transmit a second electrode signal to the taste simulator in combination with a release of at least one chemical, wherein the second electrode signal and the at least one second chemical correspond to a taste profile of a food dish, based on the user taste profile;
- and
- program instructions to receive a second set of user feedback on the taste profile of the food dish introduced through the second electrode signal and the at least one second chemical.
