Further, in each of the embodiments below, the same parts are given the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted.

(Embodiment)
[1. Information processing system configuration]
The information processing system 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be explained. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a terminal device 10 and an information processing device 100. The terminal device 10 and the information processing device 100 are communicably connected via a predetermined communication network (network N) by wire or wirelessly. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of an information processing system 1 according to an embodiment.

The terminal device 10 is an information processing device used by a user who wants to reflect the user's ideal style in item display on predetermined content (for example, the priority of items displayed in the item column of the top page). be. The terminal device 10 may be any device as long as it can implement the processing in the embodiment. Further, the terminal device 10 may be a device such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC, a desktop PC, a mobile phone, or a PDA. FIG. 2 shows a case where the terminal device 10 is a smartphone.

The terminal device 10 is, for example, a smart device such as a smartphone or a tablet, and is a mobile device that can communicate with any server device via a wireless communication network such as 3G to 5G (Generation) or LTE (Long Term Evolution). It is a terminal device. The terminal device 10 has a screen such as a liquid crystal display, which has a touch panel function, and allows the user to perform various operations on display data such as content, such as a tap operation, a slide operation, and a scroll operation using a finger or a stylus. operations may be accepted. In FIG. 2, the terminal device 10 is used by a user U1.

The information processing device 100 is an information processing device whose purpose is to help users imagine their ideal style. The information processing device 100 may be any device as long as it can implement the processing in the embodiment. For example, the information processing device 100 is realized by a server device, a cloud system, or the like that manages predetermined content that displays items that reflect the user's ideal style.

[2. An example of information processing]
In the embodiment below, a style map (map M1) generated by mapping a plurality of coordination styles (hereinafter referred to as "styles" as appropriate) in space is displayed on the terminal device 10. In the map M1, styles are mapped based on the characteristics of the styles so that the closer the characteristics are, the closer the spatial distance is. Specifically, in the map M1, styles are mapped such that the closer the information regarding the style, such as appearance, item, brand, user attribute, and user evaluation, is, the closer the distance is. That is, the map M1 is a map generated by mapping styles so that the more similar the various feature amounts, the closer they are in space, and projecting the mapping two-dimensionally. In addition, the map M1 can be used, for example, for set matching (Y. Saito, T. Nakamura, H. Hachiya, K. Fukumizu "Exchangeable Deep Neural Networks for Set-to-Set Matching"), which allows quantitative evaluation of the compatibility between sets. It may also be a map that maps the features evaluated based on the ``Learning''.

Map M1 also includes user U1's style. In other words, the style of the user U1 is also mapped to the map M1 based on the characteristics of the style of the user U1 and the characteristics of the styles of other users. Note that the position of the style on the map M1 is predetermined, and the information to be presented to the user U1 is determined according to the predetermined position of the style. Further, a part of the area of the map M1 is displayed on the terminal device 10. For example, on the terminal device 10, a part of the area including the position of the user U1's style is displayed. Note that other areas that are not displayed may be displayed by operating (for example, swiping or flicking) the map M1. Note that the style features are the average features of the item features, and the style features are compressed using an encoder to determine the mix ratio of the style (for example, the mix ratio of shirts, hats, skirts, and bags is 3:1:3:3). 3) is calculated.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of information processing according to the embodiment. The information processing device 100 determines information to be presented to the user U1 based on the distance relationship in the map M1 between the position of the user U1's style and the position of another user's style (step S101). For example, the information processing device 100 determines information to be presented to the user U1 based on the characteristics of a style close to the position of the style of the user U1. Note that details of the information presented to the user U1 will be described later. Then, the information processing device 100 transmits information for displaying the information determined to be presented to the user U1 on the map M1 to the terminal device 10 (step S102). When the terminal device 10 receives the information transmitted from the information processing device 100, it displays the information determined to be presented to the user U1 together with the map M1.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user interface according to the embodiment. The user interface shown in FIG. 3 is a style map. In map M1, each circle indicates a style. For example, circles indicate each user's style. For example, circle marks indicate coordinates posted by the user on a predetermined coordination posting site, coordinates searched by the user on a predetermined coordination posting site or a predetermined online shopping mall, and coordinates that the user searched for on a predetermined coordination posting site or a predetermined online shopping mall. It shows the coordinates viewed, the coordinates selected by the user on a predetermined coordinate posting site or a predetermined online shopping mall, or the style of the coordinates generated from the user's purchase history. In addition to coordination, the data that makes up a style includes, for example, items stored in the wardrobe, items registered in the wardrobe app (related to purchases made at linked online shopping malls), etc. (including automatically registered items), items worn in snapshots (images) liked/saved by users on coordination posting sites and online shopping malls, tags attached to item groups, and tags attached to item groups This information is not particularly limited, and may include information such as a group of brands liked by the user. That is, the circles may indicate styles based on any combination of these. Moreover, the position P1 is the position of the user U1's style. Moreover, positions P2 to P7 are positions of other users' styles, respectively. Although FIG. 3 shows a case where seven styles are displayed, the number of styles displayed on the screen of the terminal device 10 is not particularly limited. In addition, although FIG. 3 shows a case where styles of other users near position P1 are displayed, for example, by moving the display area to the left, the styles on the left side of map M1 are displayed, and the display area is moved to the left. By moving to the right side, the style on the right side of map M1 is displayed.

Display H1 and display H2 are examples of information presented to user U1. The display H1 is information indicating the characteristics of clusters generated by clustering the styles at positions P2 to P4. Note that clustering is performed, for example, by fitting using a Gaussian mixture model or K-means. In display H1, information indicating the feature of the style closest to the center of gravity of the cluster is displayed. Specifically, in the display H1, information indicating the characteristics of the style located at the position P3 is displayed. For example, in display H1, a label such as "Influencer A-like" is displayed as information indicating the characteristics of the style located at position P3. For example, in display H1, a label indicating the characteristics of a predetermined style is displayed in association with the style located at position P3. Note that the label may include an image of influencer A, an image of influencer A wearing a typical coordination, an image of influencer A wearing a style of coordination located at position P3, and the like.

Furthermore, display H2 is information indicating the characteristics of clusters obtained by clustering the styles at positions P5 to P7. In display H2, information indicating the feature of the style closest to the center of gravity of the cluster is displayed. Specifically, in display H2, information indicating the characteristics of the style located at position P6 is displayed. For example, in display H2, a label such as "Influencer B-like" is displayed as information indicating the characteristics of the style located at position P6. For example, in display H2, a label indicating characteristics of a predetermined style is displayed in association with the style located at position P6. Note that the label may include an image of influencer B, an image of influencer B wearing a typical coordination, an image of influencer B wearing a style of coordination located at position P6, and the like.

Here, the user U1 specifies his or her ideal style using the map M1. For example, if user U1's ideal style is an "influencer A-like" style, user U1 can place user U1's ideal style at any position within a cluster obtained by clustering styles from position P2 to position P4. Specify the style. Further, for example, if the ideal style of the user U1 is an "influencer B-like" style, the user U1 can place the user U1's Specify your ideal style. For example, if the ideal style of user U1 is an "influencer A-like" style and an "influencer B-like" style, a cluster obtained by clustering the styles at positions P2 to P4 may be used. , the ideal style of the user U1 is specified at an arbitrary position between the clusters obtained by clustering the styles at positions P5 to P7. Note that if the ideal style of user U1 is to make the "Influencer A-like" style stronger than the "Influencer B-like" style, the styles at positions P2 to P4 among the clusters The user U1's ideal style is specified at a position near the clustered cluster. In other words, it is possible to specify a style that is a mixture of a plurality of styles in any proportion as the user U1's ideal style. Note that in the map M1, when the user U1 specifies an ideal style, a star is displayed at the specified position. When the terminal device 10 receives the operation on the item UI1, the terminal device 10 transmits the operation information of the user U1 to the information processing device 100. The information processing device 100 acquires the information transmitted from the terminal device 10 (step S103).

Note that the information processing device 100 may, for example, present information that allows users to select whether they prefer a style similar to "influencer A" or "like influencer B," which is close to the position of the user's style; When a user who prefers the "Influencer B-like" style changes the ideal style position to the "Influencer B-like" style position, Map 1 displays the position of other users' styles ( Cluster) will be newly displayed, and information will be presented to allow you to choose whether you prefer the “Influencer B-like” style, the “Brand C-like” style, or the “Brand D-like” style. You can. Here, labels such as "Brand C-like" and "Brand D-like" are newly displayed, and other labels near the position of the user's style after the change (position of the ideal style under consideration) are displayed. This is information indicating the characteristics of the user's style (information indicating the characteristics of the cluster). Thereby, the information processing apparatus 100 can make it easier for the user to find an ideal style.

The information processing device 100 generates predetermined content according to the position of the ideal style specified by the user U1 (step S104). Specifically, the information processing device 100 generates predetermined content in which items and coordination are displayed according to the position of the specified ideal style. For example, the information processing device 100 determines the priority of items displayed in the item column according to the position of the specified ideal style (for example, items included in the coordination restored from the specified ideal style). By determining the priority so that the priority of the item becomes higher), predetermined content is generated in which items are displayed in descending order of priority. Further, for example, the information processing device 100 determines the priority of the coordination displayed in the coordination column according to the position of the specified ideal style (for example, the priority of the coordination restored from the specified ideal style). By determining the priority so that the priority becomes higher, predetermined content is generated in which coordination is displayed in order of priority. Then, the information processing device 100 transmits information for displaying the generated predetermined content to the terminal device 10 (step S105). When the terminal device 10 receives the information transmitted from the information processing device 100, it displays predetermined content including information according to the position of the specified ideal style.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user interface according to the embodiment. The user interface shown in FIG. 4 is predetermined content that is displayed according to the position of the specified ideal style. In FIG. 4, the predetermined content is the top page of a predetermined electronic shopping mall. The position of the specified ideal style is reflected in the item results in the item column R1 that displays newly arrived items and the item column R2 that displays recommended items. For example, if user U1's ideal style is specified in a cluster obtained by clustering styles from position P2 to position P4, items for coordinating an "influencer A-like" style will be prioritized in the item column. It is displayed in R1 and item column R2. At this time, the information processing device 100 uses, for example, a neighborhood search means to restore coordination from the style characteristics corresponding to the position of the specified ideal style, and displays items included in the restored coordination. Perform the processing to make it happen. For example, items for coordinating a specified ideal style restored from a group of items for coordinating a specified ideal style may be preferentially displayed in the item column R1 or the item column R2 using the neighborhood search means. At this time, the information processing apparatus 100 may suggest items included in coordination based on the user's purchase history or coordination similar to the coordination posted by the user. As a result, the information processing device 100 can suggest items that resemble clothes that the user already owns or wears, thereby increasing the variety of outfits the user can wear. Furthermore, by comparing the position of the user's style and the position of the user's ideal style, the information processing device 100 makes suggestions while replacing items included in the coordination of the user's style so as to approach the ideal style. You can.

Furthermore, for example, if user U1's ideal style is specified in a cluster obtained by clustering styles from position P5 to position P7, items for coordinating an "influencer B-like" style will be prioritized. It is displayed in the item column R1 and the item column R2. Furthermore, for example, if the ideal style of the user U1 is specified between a cluster that is a cluster of styles from position P2 to position P4 and a cluster that is a cluster of styles from position P5 to position P7, Items for coordinating the "influencer A-like" style and items for coordinating the "influencer B-like" style are mixed and displayed preferentially in the item column R1 and the item column R2. Further, for example, if the ideal style of the user U1 is specified between a cluster that is a cluster of styles from positions P2 to P4 and a cluster that is a cluster of styles from positions P5 to P7 (that is, the user U1 (If a style that mixes multiple styles in arbitrary proportions is specified as the ideal style of Items for coordination restored from a group of items mixed at an arbitrary ratio with a group of items for coordination may be preferentially displayed in the item column R1 or the item column R2.

(Processing variation 1: Brand name display)
In the above embodiment, a case was shown in which a label expressing a style using a specific person's name is displayed, such as "Influencer A-like" or "Influencer B-like". It is not limited to expression. In other words, expression of style is not limited to expression using a specific person's name. For example, a style may be expressed by a specific brand name. For example, if user U1 is familiar with brands but not with influencers, you may want to display a label that expresses the style using a specific brand name, such as "Brand A-like" or "Brand B-like." good. Furthermore, a label expressing the style of the products handled by the brand, such as "street style" or "mode style", may be displayed.

(Processing variation 2: Display based on recognition level)
In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the information processing apparatus 100 displays information indicating characteristics of a style close to the center of gravity of a cluster on the map M1 as information indicating characteristics of a cluster. The information is not limited to information indicating the characteristics of the style near the center of gravity of the cluster. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 may display information indicating the characteristics of a style that is highly recognized by the user among the styles included in the cluster as information indicating the characteristics of the cluster on the map M1. For example, the information processing device 100 may detect a case where a cluster includes a "brand A-like" style and a "brand B-like" style, and the "brand A" style is more user-friendly than the "brand B" style. If the brand recognition level is high, even if the "Brand B-like" style is closer to the center of gravity of the cluster than the "Brand A-like" style, the "Brand A-like" label will be used instead of the "Brand B-like" label. It is also possible to display a label of ``poi''. At this time, the information processing device 100 may identify brands with high recognition by acquiring a predetermined user recognition for each brand, or may specify user information (for example, posting history, browsing history, selection Brands with high recognition may be identified by estimating the user's recognition of the brand based on user history, purchase history), and the method for identifying brands with high user recognition is not particularly limited. Furthermore, the target of user recognition is not limited to brands, and may be of any kind, for example, may be influencers. Further, for example, the information processing device 100 may display information indicating the characteristics of a style that is highly recognized by the target user among the styles included in the cluster as information indicating the characteristics of the cluster on the map M1. As a result, the information processing device 100 generally recognizes that even if "Brand A" has higher user recognition than "Brand B", "Brand B" has higher target user recognition than "Brand A". If the value is high, a label such as "Brand B-like" can be displayed instead of a "Brand A-like" label.
