Abstract
An assistive food preparation system and method configured to match a code with at least one signal within a database for facilitating food preparation and transmit the signal associated with the numerical code for receipt by a user seeking food preparation assistance.
Claims18
An assistive food preparation system, the system comprising:
- a system controller;
- a bar code capture device connected to the system controller;
- and
- a database connected to the system controller, the database including a plurality of signals, each signal associated with a plurality of numerical codes;
- and
- an output device coupled to the system controller;
- the bar code capture device configured to capture a barcode image and forward the image to the system controller, the system controller configured to convert the bar code image into a numerical code, the system controller further configured to match the numerical code with at least one signal within the database, and the system controller further configured to send the signal associated with the numerical code within the database to the output device, the output device configured to output the signal received from the system controller.
