Title:
味認識装置及びそれを用いる味認識システム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4789952
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A taste recognition apparatus includes a sensor proper and a touch panel. The sensor proper includes a sensor unit provided with sensor probes for taste measurement with lipid molecular films which outputs an electrical signals presenting taste information much than at least one type, a solution insertion unit provided with a plurality of inserting portions arranged at predetermined intervals along a circumference for selective insertion of a sample taste solution, a standard sample solution and a cleaning solution, and an arm drive unit which moves the sensor unit to a predetermined inserting portion of the solution insertion unit, wherein based on the electrical signals presenting the taste information output from the sensor probes, the measurement for taste recognition of at least the sample taste solution is made possible. The touch panel is so configured that all operation items required for the measurement for taste recognition on the sensor proper are indicated as buttons representing respective functions and sequentially displayed on a screen, and when a user designates a predetermined button, a corresponding one of the operation items can be input, thereby permitting the user to perform all the operations on the sensor proper based on displaying on the screen. As a result, the taste measurement of a sample taste substance can be carried out easily with a simpler operation by the taste recognition apparatus as a whole.
