For example, if the x value of the specified coordinate value (v1) is 10 and the y value is 12, the coordinate value (v2) with the x value 10 and the y value -12 is calculated symmetrically about the x axis can do. In addition, when the x value of the specified coordinate value v1 is 10 and the y value is 12, the coordinate value v2 having an x value of -10 and a y value of 12 can be calculated symmetrically about the y axis , and a coordinate value (v2) having an x value of -10 and a y value of -12 can be calculated symmetrically about the origin.

Sizes and locations of regions for a plurality of categories set in each quadrant on the xy plane may all be different, and categories at locations closest to the symmetrical coordinate values v2 may also all be different. That is, when the coordinate value v1 specified in the first quadrant is symmetrical about the x-axis, the symmetrical coordinate value v2 is specified in the fourth quadrant, and the coordinate value v1 specified in the first quadrant is symmetrical about the y-axis. The coordinate value (v2) that is symmetrical when symmetrical about the reference is specified in the second quadrant, and the coordinate value (v2) that is symmetrical when the coordinate value (v1) specified in the first quadrant is symmetrical about the origin is the symmetrical coordinate value (v2) in the third quadrant can be specified in In this case, the categories closest to the coordinate values specified in the first quadrant, the second quadrant, the third quadrant, and the fourth quadrant may all be different. Meanwhile, it is possible that all the same categories are selected, and some of the same categories and some of the different categories may be selected.

The computing device 100 may select a category selected from the symmetrical coordinate values as a supplementary category, determine an adjective corresponding to the supplementary category as a supplemental adjective capable of complementing a facial atmosphere, and provide the selected adjective to the user.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the computing device 100 may obtain clothing information from a shopping mall. Clothing information may acquire all information related to clothing, such as the shape, color, size, vendor, type, and fabric of clothing, but is not limited thereto.

The computing device 100 may determine representative mood information of clothing based on the acquired clothing information. For example, the computing device 100 may determine the atmosphere of the clothing based on various attribute information such as the style, type, and color of the corresponding clothing.

The computing device 100 may provide clothing information to the user according to information matching the determined atmosphere of the clothing and the user's atmosphere. For example, the computing device 100 may process 3D distance information between the user's mood and the clothes' mood and provide clothing information in an order suitable to the user.

Alternatively, the computing device 100 may recommend clothing having a different mood that can complement the user's mood. For example, the user's mood may be strengthened by recommending clothes that match the user's mood, but the user's mood may be changed differently by recommending clothes with a different atmosphere from the user's mood.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, facial features are analyzed using a photographed image of the user's face, adjectives corresponding to the user's facial mood are diagnosed, and facial mood diagnosis using the provided image is provided to the user. A platform providing method, device, and program can be realized.
