The manufacturer information includes information such as manufacturer name, manufacturer ID, URL (Uniform Resource Locator), and mail address.

Next, the server 1 reads out each piece of information stored in the DB 2 and calculates the degree of support and confidence of the user's clothing. The procedure for calculating the support and confidence will be described with reference to FIG. In doing the calculation
The server 1 first reads user information, product information, and manufacturer information from the DB 2 (S11). And server 1
Calculates the support using each read information (S
12). The support rate is calculated using the following equation (1).

[0035]

[Equation 1]

As shown in the equation (1), the support level indicates the proportion of the clothing items which the user u purchases or selects and which satisfies the specific condition a. Here, the condition “a” is the information set in the product information such as the category, material, price, etc. of the clothing item. The server 1 calculates, for each user, the support for all the information that can be used as the condition a among the information set in the product information and all combinations of these information.

After the support is calculated, the server 1 next
The confidence level is calculated using the support level (S13). The certainty factor is calculated using the equation (2) shown below.

[0038]

[Equation 2]

As shown in the equation (2), the certainty factor indicates the proportion of the clothing items purchased or selected by a certain user u that satisfy the specific condition a, and also satisfy the other condition b at the same time. It is a thing. Further, the certainty factor can be expressed only by the support factor, and can be easily calculated using the support factor calculated in the process S12. The server 1 calculates certainty factors for all possible combinations of support factors.

Finally, the server 1 stores the calculated support and confidence in the user DB 2a of the DB 2 (S14), and the support and confidence calculation process ends. By the calculation process of the certainty factor, for example, the ratio of “a certain user u purchases a blouse of a product manufactured by the manufacturer X and whose price range is 5000 to 10,000 yen” can be obtained by the calculation process of the certainty factor. . Although the present system performs the calculation processing of the certainty factor that satisfies two types of conditions, the certainty factor that satisfies three or more types of conditions may be calculated.

In the support and confidence calculation process, the administrator PC 3 outputs a control command for starting and ending support of the calculation process to the server 1, or sets parameters for characterizing the calculation process.

Since the calculation of support and confidence is performed for all conditions and all combinations of conditions in principle, the amount of calculation and the amount of data to be handled become enormous, which imposes a great burden on the server 1 and the DB 2. become. Therefore, the administrator PC 3 outputs the control command of the start and end instructions to the server 1 so that the calculation processing in the server 1 can be performed when necessary, reducing the load on the server 1 and the DB 2, and The influence on the processing of can be suppressed.

Further, the administrator PC 3 can set the minimum support degree and the minimum certainty degree for the server 1 as parameter setting values of the support degree and the certainty degree.
The server 1 extracts the data of the support and the certainty over these values and stores the data in the DB 2 so that only the effective support and the certainty are used to identify the user who matches the product described later and It is possible to easily perform the purchase tendency aggregation processing.

Further, the administrator PC 3 sets a parameter so that only the support and the confidence for only a specific product or maker are calculated, so that the administrator PC 3 can specify the user only for the specific product or maker. It is possible to perform a process and an aggregate process of purchasing tendency.

The support level and the confidence level affect the number of products purchased by the user. The smaller the number of purchased products, the larger the support level and the confidence level. Therefore, the administrator PC 3 sets the weighting parameter in the calculation process of the support and the certainty factor, for example, by reducing the weight when the number of purchased products is small, the support according to the number of purchased products. It is possible to eliminate the disparity between the degree and the certainty.

Next, the server 1 performs a process of identifying a user who is suitable for the product to be sold, based on the support and confidence data stored in the DB 2, and the mobile phone 4 or the user PC 5 that has identified the process result. Send by email to the Internet. A specific operation of the user identification process in the server 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The server 1 first reads the product information of the product to be sold from the DB 2 (S21).

Together with the processing S21, the administrator PC 3 sets in the server 1 a condition for specifying the user who distributes the merchandise information. Here, the condition is for determining the specific range of the value of the support level or the certainty level for the specific item of the product information of the product. For example, the condition of the support level is "the support level of a blouse in the wardrobe owned is 70% or more", and the condition of the confidence level is "the price is 5".
Confidence of being a blouse of 000 to 10,000 yen is 50%
Or more ”. The administrator PC 3 also sets the minimum support and the minimum certainty in the server 1.

Next, the server 1 uses the user DB2b of the DB2.
The support and confidence data are read out from the device, and the user identifying process suitable for each product is performed based on these data (S22). In the process S22, the server 1 selects, based on the conditions, the data on the merchandise to be subjected to the specific process from the read data of the support and the confidence, and further selects the minimum support or more or the minimum confidence from the data. Select the above data. The user having the data selected by the above selection operation is the user to be specified.

Also, the administrator PC3 causes the server 1 to store the data of the support higher than the minimum support and the reliability higher than the minimum confidence in the DB2 in the calculation processing of the support and the confidence. You may make it set a value. By making such settings, the server 1
All the support and confidence data stored in No. 2 can be used as they are for the specifying process, which facilitates the specifying process.

When the user who matches the product is specified, the server 1 reads out the product information of the product from the DB 2 and sends it by mail to the mobile phone 4 or the user PC 5 of the user (S23). By receiving the mail, the user can acquire the information on the ornament that matches his or her taste. The server 1 performs the operation of the above-described specific processing for each product.

The user can refer to the transmitted merchandise item information of the clothing item, and if he / she likes the item, he / she can send it to the server 1 as user information, as the item of clothing item to purchase. After that, the server 1 can also calculate the support and the certainty for the selected clothing item. Here, if you set the parameter to increase the weight of the purchased clothing, the support and confidence of the purchased clothing, only the clothing you actually own It is possible to obtain a result close to the support and confidence based on the above.

Further, the server 1 includes the products to be sold (the sold products stored in the product DB 2b and the planned products not stored in the product DB 2b) using the calculated support and confidence. The purchase tendency of) is totaled, and the totalized result is sent to the manufacturer PC 7 of the manufacturer by mail via the Internet. FIG. 4 shows a specific operation of the aggregation processing using the support and confidence in the server 1.
Will be explained. Prior to the aggregation process, the administrator PC 3
Sets, in the server 1, data relating to a specific support and certainty factor used in the aggregation process and conditions used in the aggregation process. Then, the server 1 uses the user DB2a of DB2.
From each of the users, the users who meet the specific support and certainty data and the conditions are extracted (S31).

The support and confidence data set by the administrator PC 3 are the support and confidence required for the aggregation process, for example, the support and confidence about the condition satisfying the characteristics of the product for sale. is there. That is, the data of the support level and the certainty level that have been set indicates the direction of the purchasing tendency to be aggregated. The server 1 is the administrator PC 3
A user who matches the support and confidence data set in step 2 is extracted from the user DB 2a. Also, the administrator PC
The condition set in 3 is for determining the specific range of the support and confidence values to be aggregated, and the specific content is the same as the condition in the support and confidence calculation process. Is.

Next, the server 1 performs the process of totalizing the purchasing tendency of the user based on the data and conditions of the specific support and certainty (S32). In process S32, the server 1
Can further analyze the purchase tendency of the extracted user according to the user information or other support and confidence, and can obtain a highly reliable aggregate result.

For example, a user who has a certain degree of support for holding a certain type of clothing and has a certainty of 20% or more for holding the clothing of a certain maker in the entire clothing is further extracted. By checking the purchase area of the clothing item,
The purchasing tendency of the user can be accurately analyzed.

When the purchasing tendency is totaled, the server 1 sends the totalized result to the manufacturer PC 7 of the manufacturer by mail (S33). By receiving the totalized result, the manufacturer can know the purchasing tendency of the garment provided by the company or the product to be released in the future. In this system, since the purchase tendency is totaled using the support and the certainty, it is possible to perform the totalization process based on the ratio of the products that meet the conditions in all the products purchased by each user. It is possible to obtain highly reliable counting results. In addition, since the support and confidence used in the totaling process can be freely set, detailed and multifaceted totaling results can be easily obtained.

Therefore, the manufacturer can know the purchasing tendency of the garment provided by the manufacturer from various aspects, and can set the data of the support level and the certainty level to collect the purchasing tendency of the product to be developed. Therefore, purchase simulation results can be obtained for new products to be developed, and potential demand can be found.

When collecting the purchase tendency, the administrator PC
3, the parameters can be set in the server 1 so that only specific products are totaled. By making such settings, it is possible to change the products to be totaled according to the season or the like, or to total only the products desired by the manufacturer.

In the user DB 2a of the present system, user information is stored for each user, but each user may be configured to have user information by dividing the directory according to the purpose (place, purpose, etc.). With such a configuration, the user can specify the clothing item that he or she wants to try on, depending on the use, the server 1 can calculate the support and confidence for each use, and can collect the purchase tendency for each use. .

Next, a method of inputting user information using a product ID in this system will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a method of inputting user information using a product ID in this system. In FIG. 5, the user inputs the product ID from the product tag attached to the actually purchased accessory using the mobile phone 4 on the website provided by the server 1 and transmits the product ID to the server 1. The transmitted product ID is stored in the user DB 2a in the DB 2 in association with the user information by the server 1. The product ID is an identifier composed of a plurality of alphabets assigned to each clothing item, and the product name, brand name, material, desired retail price, etc. can be specified by referring to the product ID.

When purchasing a garment, the POS terminal 6 reads the barcode attached to the tag, the data is transmitted to the server 1, and the product information is registered in the product DB 2b of the DB 2. If there is no data input from the POS terminal 6, the administrator PC 3 defines the definition of the product ID in the product DB 2
Register in b.

In this system, the merchandise ID is stored as user information in the user DB 2a, and the merchandise information of the clothing item purchased by the user is stored in association with each other in the merchandise DB 2b. The data of can be registered easily. Further, by using the industry standard ID as the product ID, compatibility with other systems can be guaranteed and the data in this system can be easily diverted to other systems.

As described above, according to this system, when the information of the clothing item purchased or selected by the user is input,
The server 1 calculates the degree of support and confidence of the clothing item for each user, identifies the user whose taste is compatible with the article of sale for sale, based on the degree of support and the degree of certainty, and identifies the identified user as the product. By sending the product information of the item, the user can easily obtain the information of the item of clothing that suits his / her taste, and the manufacturer can target the item of clothing to be sold to the customers who are likely to purchase it. Therefore, there is an effect that can be efficiently provided.

In particular, in this system, the characteristics of the clothing item purchased or selected can be specified by the user information input by the user, and further, among the clothing items purchased or selected by the user, the clothing items satisfying the characteristics can be specified. The preference is analyzed by calculating the ratio as the support and the confidence, and the support and the confidence are used as the criteria for judging the compatibility with the clothing item for sale. It is possible to easily identify and extract a matching user of. Therefore, the user has a higher probability of more surely finding a clothing item that suits his / her taste, as compared with the conventional purchasing method.

Further, the maker can send the product information to the user whose characteristics and tastes are suitable by providing the server 1 with the information of the clothes to be sold. Product information can be efficiently provided to interested customers, and sales can be expected to improve. Therefore, this system can match the user's preference for clothing and the characteristics of the clothing that the manufacturer intends to sell with high accuracy, and can flexibly provide product information according to the preference.

Further, according to the present system, the purchasing tendency of the clothing items to be sold is aggregated under various conditions based on the calculated support and confidence, and the aggregated result is transmitted to the clothing maker. As a result, the maker can know the purchasing tendency of the clothing item to be sold in detail and multi-dimensionally, and there is an effect that the sales strategy can be efficiently performed.

In the present system, the purchase tendency data is aggregated based on the conditions according to the merchandise information of the clothing item and transmitted to the manufacturer of the selling source, so that the manufacturer can easily carry out the clothing item without conducting a field survey. You can know the purchasing tendency of. In addition, since this system can aggregate fashion purchase trends from multiple sides, manufacturers can finely follow trends in fashion, so it can be used as a sales strategy, for example, in developing the next fashion model. Or execute a direct marketing strategy such as sending an advertisement to a certain customer segment.

In addition, the present system permits each user to refer to the user information of a friend or acquaintance stored in the user DB 2a on condition that the password is input, so that the clothing of the friend or acquaintance can be seen. Since it is possible to know the user's preference, it becomes easy to give a favorite clothing item as a present. Along with this, it is possible to create a new market for clothing presents.
