`
`The claims in this listing will replace all prior versions, and listings, of claims in the
`
`application.
`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`1.
`
`(Currently Amended) A method perfermedby-acomputer for controlling a food
`
`printer in a food-material 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 using a first print
`
`
`pattern, the method by a computer in the food-material providing system comprising:
`
`acquiring chewing/swallowing information via a network from a sensing device
`
`associated with a user, wherein the chewing/swallowing information is related to chewing of the
`
`user whenthe usereats the first printed food;
`
`determining based on the chewing/swallowing information, a number of chews made by
`
`the user in eating the first printed food, and determining based onatleast the first print pattern
`
`and the number of chews, a second print pattern used for a second printed food to be created by
`
`the food printer; and
`
`transmitting print control information to the food printer via the network, wherein the
`
`print control information is used for causing the food printer to create the second printed food
`
`using the determined secondprint pattern.
`
`2.
`
`(Currently Amended) A method perfermedby-acomputer for controlling a food printer
`
`in a food-material providing system, the food printer being a food printer that createsafirst
`
`printed food, the first printed food being created by the food printer by using a first print pattern,

`
`
`the method by a computerin the food-material providing system comprising:
`
`acquiring chewing/swallowing information via a network from a sensing device
`
`associated with a user, wherein the chewing/swallowing information represents a numberof
`
`chews madebythe userin eating thefirst printed food;
`
`determining based onat least the first print pattern and the numberof chews, a second
`
`print pattern used for a second printed food to be created by the food printer; and
`
`transmitting print control information to the food printer via the network, wherein the
`
`print control information is used for causing the food printer to create the second printed food
`
`using the determined secondprint pattern.
`
`3.
`
`(Original) The control method according to claim 1, wherein
`
`the numberof chews includes a total numberof times chewing is made bythe userin
`
`eating the first printed food.
`
`4,
`
`(Original) The control method according to claim 1, wherein
`
`the print control information includes a print condition for, if the number of chews made
`
`by the user is less than a predetermined numberof chews, creating the second printed food that
`
`has a smaller mass per unit volumethan thefirst printed food.
`
`5.
`
`(Original) The control method according to claim 1, wherein
`
`if the first printed food includesa plurality of chunks of food in a bite size of less than or
`
`equal to 15 cubic centimeters, and the number of chews madebytheuseris less than a
`
`predetermined numberof chews, the print control information includesa print condition for

`
`Application No.17/695,361
`
`creating the second printed food that includesa plurality of chunks of food in a bite size of less
`
`than or equal to 15 cubic centimeters and that has a mean volumethat is less than a mean volume
`
`of the plurality of chunks of food in the bite size includedin the first printed food.
`
`6.
`
`(Original) The control method according to claim 1, wherein
`
`the print control information includes a print condition for, if the number of chews made
`
`by the user is less than a predetermined numberof chews, creating the second printed food that
`
`has a greater volumeof a hard portion than thefirst printed food, wherein the hard portion has a
`
`hardness greater than or equal to a predetermined hardness.
`
`7.
`
`(Original) The control method according to claim 1, wherein
`
`the sensing device includes an acceleration sensor, and
`
`the chewing/swallowing information includes acceleration information that represents an
`
`acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor.
`
`8.
`
`(Original) The control method according to claim 1, wherein
`
`the sensing device includes a distance sensor, and
`
`the chewing/swallowing information includes distance information that is detected by the
`
`distance sensor and that represents a distance to a skin.
`
`9.
`
`(Original) The control method according to claim 1, wherein
`
`the sensing device detects an electromyographic potential, and
`
`the numberof chews is determined based on the detected electromyographic potential.

`
`10.
`
`(Original) The control method according to claim 1, wherein
`
`the sensing device detects chewing sound, and
`
`the numberof chews is determined based on the detected chewing sound.
`
`11.
`
`(Original) The control method according to claim 1, wherein
`
`the sensing device includes a camera, and
`
`the number of chews madebythe user is determined based on a result of image
`
`recognition performed by using an image obtained with the camera.
`
`12.
`
`(Original) The control method according to claim 1, wherein
`
`the sensing deviceis installed on an autonomous device that performs sensing on the
`
`user.
`
`13.
`
`(Original) The control method according to claim 1, wherein
`
`the sensing deviceis installed on eyeglasses of the user.
`
`14.
