  The communication unit 110 is realized by, for example, a NIC (Network Interface Card). The communication unit 110 is connected to the network N by wire or wirelessly, and transmits / receives information to / from the user terminal 10 via the network N.

  The product information storage unit 120 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk. The product information storage unit 120 according to the first embodiment stores product information related to a light bulb that is an example of a product. The product information storage unit 120 stores product information prepared by each manufacturer that sells light bulbs, for example.

  Here, FIG. 4 shows an example of the product information storage unit 120 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the product information storage unit 120 includes “product ID”, “product name”, “mold (base)”, “rated power consumption”, “color information”, “product description”, “product image”. ”.

  “Product ID” indicates identification information for identifying a light bulb that is a product. “Product name” indicates the product name of the light bulb identified by the “product ID”. “Type (base)” is a type of a light bulb identified by “product ID”, and indicates, for example, the type and size of the base. Here, as the type of the base, for example, “rotating type”, “insertion type”, “inset type” and the like are mentioned, and as the size of the base, the diameter of the base is mentioned, and in the example of FIG. The code values (“E26”, etc.) for specifying the type and size of these caps are shown.

The “product image” is a regular image prepared by the manufacturer of the corresponding light bulb.

  For example, in FIG. 4, a light bulb with a product ID “C1” has a product name “Light-X11”, a mold (base) “E26”, a rated power consumption “10 W”, and an irradiation The product description such as “light white” and “difficult to break” is attached to the light color, indicating that the file name of the photographed image is “AAA.gif”.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the control unit 130 is, for example, a program (corresponding to an example of a sales support program) stored in an internal storage device by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or the like. Is implemented by using the RAM as a work area. The control unit 130 is realized by an integrated circuit such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a field programmable gate array (FPGA).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 130 includes a reception unit 131, a specification unit 132, a correction unit 133, and an output unit 134, and realizes or executes information processing functions and operations described below. To do. The internal configuration of the control unit 130 is not limited to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 2, and may be another configuration as long as the information processing described later is performed.

  The receiving unit 131 receives from the user terminal 10 a light bulb image that is an image of a light bulb captured by the user and a room image that is an indoor image. The receiving unit 131 outputs the light bulb image to the specifying unit 132 when the light bulb image is received, and outputs the indoor image to the correction unit 133 when the indoor image is received.

  For example, when the transmission button B22 is pressed on the confirmation screen illustrated in FIG. 3B, the reception unit 131 receives the light bulb image G10 from the sales support control unit 16 of the user terminal 10 and displays the received light bulb image G10. The data is output to the specifying unit 132. For example, when the room is imaged after the virtual button B34 illustrated in FIG. 3C is pressed, the reception unit 131 receives the room image from the sales support control unit 16 and corrects the received room image. Output to the unit 133.

  The specifying unit 132 specifies a purchase candidate lighting device (in this case, a light bulb) designated by the user. Specifically, the specifying unit 132 according to the first embodiment, when a light bulb image is received by the receiving unit 131, includes the light bulb image and each product image stored in the product information storage unit 120. Calculate similarity. For example, the specifying unit 132 calculates the similarity between images by performing pattern matching processing or the like. And the specific | specification part 132 extracts the product image with the highest similarity with the light bulb image received from the user terminal 10 among each product image memorize | stored in the product information storage part 120, and respond | corresponds to the extracted product image Identify the product you want to buy as a potential bulb. Further, the specifying unit 132 acquires various product information regarding the specified purchase candidate bulb from the product information storage unit 120, and outputs the acquired various product information to the correction unit 133. In this way, the specifying unit 132 specifies the same light bulb as the light bulb depicted in the light bulb image received from the user terminal 10 as the purchase candidate light bulb.

  For example, it is assumed that the product information storage unit 120 is in the state shown in FIG. 4 and the light bulb image G10 shown in FIG. In this case, the specifying unit 132 selects a product image similar to the light bulb image G10 among the product images “AAA.gif”, “BBB.gif”, and “CCC.gif” stored in the product information storage unit 120. Search for. Here, it is assumed that the product image having the highest degree of similarity with the light bulb image G10 is “AAA.gif”. In this case, the specifying unit 132 specifies the product with the product ID “C1” corresponding to “AAA.gif” as a light bulb as a purchase candidate.

  As described above, when the light bulb image is received from the user terminal 10, the specifying unit 132 specifies a lighting device that is a purchase candidate of the user by performing a similar image search. Thereby, the user of the user terminal 10 can specify which product the replacement target light bulb is, for example, by photographing the replacement target light bulb owned by the user terminal 10 and transmitting it to the server device 100.

  The correcting unit 133 corrects the indoor image received by the receiving unit 131. Specifically, the correction unit 133 corrects the indoor image when the indoor page is transmitted from the user terminal 10 to the reception unit 131 after the purchase page is distributed to the user terminal 10 by the output unit 134 described later. To do. Here, the output unit 134 transmits, to the user terminal 10, a purchase page for purchasing the purchase candidate light bulb specified by the specifying unit 132. Therefore, based on the product information “rated power consumption” and “color information” related to the light bulb that is the purchase candidate specified by the specifying unit 132, the correction unit 133 becomes an illuminance and color room when the light bulb is installed. The indoor image is corrected as follows.

  Note that the user terminal 10 may transmit the product ID of the light bulb displayed on the purchase page to the server device 100 when transmitting the indoor image to the server device 100. That is, the receiving unit 131 receives the product ID of the light bulb specified by the specifying unit 132 together with the indoor image. In this case, the correcting unit 133 corrects the indoor image based on the product information corresponding to the product ID received by the receiving unit 131.

  Here, the correction processing by the correction unit 133 will be described with some examples. For example, the correction unit 133 calculates the illuminance and color of the room when such a light bulb is installed based on the “rated power consumption” and “color information” of the light bulb, so that the calculated illuminance and color are obtained. The pixel value of each pixel constituting the indoor image received by the input unit 13 is corrected as a whole.

  Further, for example, the correction unit 133 generates an indoor 3D model by analyzing the indoor image before correction. At this time, when a plurality of room images are required, the correction unit 133 requests the user terminal 10 to upload a plurality of room images having different shooting positions and shooting angles, and uses the plurality of room images. Generate a 3D model. And the correction | amendment part 133 correct | amends a pixel value about components (furniture etc.) contained in 3D model according to the distance from a light source (light bulb), assuming the case where a light bulb is installed indoors. For example, the correction unit 133 corrects the pixel value that is brighter as the component is closer to the light source (bulb), and corrects the pixel value that is darker as the component is farther from the light source (bulb). Thereby, the correction | amendment part 133 can correct | amend an indoor image with higher precision.

  The output unit 134 outputs a purchase page for purchasing the light bulb specified by the specifying unit 132 to the user terminal 10. Specifically, when the light bulb of the purchase candidate is specified by the specifying unit 132, the output unit 134 generates and generates a purchase page on which an image of the light bulb of the purchase candidate and product information regarding the light bulb are posted. The purchased page is transmitted to the user terminal 10. At this time, the output unit 134 transmits the product information (for example, rated power consumption and color information) of the light bulb posted on the purchase page to the user terminal 10 together with the purchase page.

  In addition, when the indoor image is corrected by the correcting unit 133, the output unit 134 outputs the indoor image after correction to the user terminal 10 so that the indoor image is displayed on the display unit 12 of the user terminal 10. .
