Application: Product demand using food recipe data (Patent ID: US20240104625A1)

The patent filed by IBM describes a system, method, and computer product for enhancing product demand by generating a food profile based on a user's food inventory, identifying food recipes based on the profile, determining food items in the inventory, identifying absent items needed for recipes, and notifying the user of the missing items. The method utilizes machine learning models, past purchase information, social media activity, and recipe preferences to personalize the food recommendations and predict desirable quantities of absent items.

The computer-implemented method and system optimize food personalization by analyzing a user's food inventory, suggesting recipes based on preferences, determining missing items, and predicting quantities needed. By leveraging machine learning models and user data, the system can provide tailored recommendations and enhance the user experience by ensuring they have the necessary ingredients for desired recipes. The patent also covers the generation of estimation models for absent food items and predicting cooking frequency to adjust the desirable quantity of missing items based on user behavior and acquisition history.
