`
`providing system, the food printer being a food printer that creates a first printed food, the first

`printed food being created by the food printer by usingafirst print pattern, the method configured
`
`to be implemented by a computerin the food-material providing system, the method comprising:
`
`acquiring sensing data related to chewing/swallowing information of one user via a
`
`
`network from a sensing device associated with [[a]] the one user, wherein the chewing/swallowing
`
`information of the one user is related to a motion of the one user including chewing [[of]] and

`swallowingthe first printed food by the one user when the one usereats the first printed food;
`
`determining based on the chewing/swallowing information of the one user, a number of
`
`chews madebythe one userin eating the first printed food, and determining based onat least the
`
`first print pattern and the numberof chews, a second print pattern used for a second printed food
`
`te-be which is created for the one user by the food printer, the second printed food being harder
`
`than the first printed food when the number of chews made by the one useris less than a target

`
`data representing the first printed food,
