問題詳情

At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an experimental kitchen of the future is being built. The goal of theresearch project, called Counter Intelligence, is to design a “smart” kitchen with an unobtrusive computer system that forms anetwork between your kitchen appliances and a constantly updated database of all your food items and supplies. Thetechnology for the project relies on Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID. Like the familiar bar codes seen on manyproducts today, RFID tags are attached to groceries and other kitchen items. The RFID tags send signals via radio waves to acomputer. However, unlike the bar codes, which use magnetic strips that must be read individually, RFID sensors can readmany RFID tags at once, and from several feet away.While the “smart” kitchen won’t exactly cook dinner for you, it could make the task much easier. First, you will select第 6 頁，共 6 頁the recipe you want to make on a computer screen. Then, using RFID tags attached to food items throughout the room, thecomputer will tell you the location of each item needed for the recipe. If you have run out of one ingredient, the computer willsuggest another ingredient you can use in its place, or suggest other recipes you can prepare with the ingredients you have inyour kitchen. Then, using a built-in scale, the computer will measure each ingredient by weight and instruct you step-by-step onhow to make the dish. As you are mixing the ingredients, the “smart” kitchen will automatically turn on your oven to thenecessary temperature. Finally, the computer will keep track of each item you’ve used, and add it to your next shopping list. Inaddition, you will be able to get a nutritional report on the meal you’ve most prepared.
