Examples of commodity characteristics include a time of providing the commodity, satisfaction with the commodity, price of the commodity, and the like. Also, it is constructed to be able to compile with different weights for each action.

Fig. 10 shows an example of preference information extraction for each group used in the present invention.

According to the group (age / gender) preference (category / product / inclination) algorithm, the personal statistical information of the user constitutes a table called &quot; user state &quot; And the preference information for each group can be obtained using the statistical information.

11 is an example of a statistical information storage structure for each group used in the present invention.

From the data extracted by group preference information, users are classified according to their age and gender using <subscription information>. The classified information can be stored in <UserGStat>.

Also, the preference by time (category / product / propensity) is composed of algorithms for finding the category, product, and propensity most recently sold or viewed in the last month. Time information is recorded in the storage information of the user and action, and the statistical information can be analyzed by using it.
