Description

Be identified based on color, search for and matching product system and method

Technical field

Invention required for protection relates to be identified based on color, search for and matching product system and method, More particularly, to the system and method for being identified, searching for and mating based on common color system.

Background technology

Sometimes, user wants to search for product by color, even if this is one kind word being not enough to be described Attribute.For example, different from utilizing basic color designation, such as " redness " and " blueness ", even if in color comparative prevalence and answering When intuitively easily positioning, using color as a parameter to the product of the specific light and shade of search is extremely difficult.For example, exist very Multiple color will be suitable for simple " redness " or " blueness " and describe, and using text word " redness " scan for possible will not Find specific product specifically red or interested.In addition, based on being scanned for by the certain types of color of title, example As " rose-red " or " ocean blue ", it may not be possible to find color interested, because there are colors different in a large number, in them Each there is different titles or with the multiple titles changed with the naming convention for being used.Similarly, face is searched for The pattern that colour cell becomes, such as " blue red striped ", it may not be possible to find the desired pattern of particular color.

, in the essence of internet hunt, which is in history based on text for the multiple disadvantages stem being related to based on the search of color This, describes found information so as to need user to enter text into search engine.With regard to color, generally by textcolor Name label is associated as metadata under being embedded into the picture of product or with webpage so that when finding concrete color light and shade When in fact can not possibly obtain reliable and complete Search Results.More specifically, because realizing search based on color (or pattern) Many search systems be only capable of operating as text search, so system can allow user by title or even " click on " color (in the form of color card) is selecting color and then search for selected color.However, in these examples, system generally will be defeated The search parameter for entering is converted to the text string for being associated or representing particular color with particular color.For example, search system can be with base Scan in the red sample on webpage is clicked on, but will click on and " redness " that searches for as text is converted to, rather than As actual color.In such systems, by text string by the title of color " redness " " tagged " on image, and base In input " redness " is matched the text string " redness " on marking rather than color is scanning for.Viewpoint from consumer See, this system is not enough to reliably capture all Related products of the specific light and shade of the redness that is just found.Viewpoint from businessman See, this system does not allow dynamic analysis or arranges important color, and can when Consumer Preferences is understood miss data collection.

Another problem is that for the color search in the present age lacks general color arrangement and uniform color naming convention.For example, Even if producing in website (that is, the Shang Renli using specific businessman when the concrete color using such as " bright cherry-red " is scanned for With term " bright cherry-red " as mark recognizing some of product) on search engine or some correlation knots during search field Really, this search can not produce the red all correlated results of the particular type that is searching for.Even if selling in other businessman With same color or be close to equivalence color but using different from " bright cherry-red " term to recognize the color when be also this Sample.

Because the inconsistent application of businessman user and its supplier, even if the color system for providing name constraints is also subject to Potential shortcoming.For example, the Wholesale Buyer of retailer may determine to order colour code from retailer for " cobalt blue " A collection of product.Second Wholesale Buyer of same retailer may order color by second purchasing agent from the second retailer Also another batch product of " cobalt blue " is designated, it is desirable to which the identical buyer so as to firstling of color is more likely to purchase Buy the second batch product as set of matches.It is true that when by it is said that when the two batches product with " same color " is placed side by side, producing Between product, the difference of color can be significant.Even if lacking one between retailer and supplier employing when same color is named Cause property is typically ignorant before product is reached, and it is too late that product improves the situation when reaching

Direct search based on particular color or sample is not yet effectively realized.For example, if user have dress and Want to buy matching entries, then existing instrument cause burden for users judge the color of clothes and matching color possibly assorted ?.Therefore, user is mated (being limited by color change on screen) based on " manifesting " what coupling.

In addition, user has to be mated and can not be automatically performed.For example so that color-match similar to friend or The color of the member selection of intimate group will be beneficial.Face is carried out for user automatically based on the polymerization colony that user is its member Color selects to be nearly impossible.

Current system is also lacked and is gathered the preference of user and/or customization color for the purpose for recognizing and searching for product Uniform areas or the ability of palette.Personal generally have preferred colors, collects the preferred colors group and in single palette In to be readily available for the user will be beneficial.In addition, lack in prior art using palette formed color combination with And search is executed based on primary colors and secondary colours (and pattern).For this purpose, recognizing, collecting preferred colors group and make which in single toning Effective search that being readily available for user in plate is carried out based on color is beneficial.

The further drawback of prior art systems is so that user is shared and exchange his or her color preference, to promote Buy the specific products of particular color or pattern.Due to the shortcoming, can not make the user easily can with friend, colleague or user Other acquaintances (for example, the intimate group of social networks) associated there shares random color preference.This ability of sharing will promote The member for entering the intimate group of user buys the project of the user.For example, in the case of it the user discover that expected product, for example, use Register in wedding or baby, the user may want to preserve and share the information with friend and household, especially colouring information. With the raising of computer technology, with friend or other network connections and share personal information and become more and more easily and easily Obtain.With regard to searching for and some projects or product being selected, a large amount of instruments are devised with system for creating and sharing expectation project Or the registration of product.But, these registrations are based only upon the selected project of registrant and product, and are not based on registrant's such as base In the desired product of color preference, demographic information or color trends information.This information (for example, color preference, size Information, previous purchase information etc.) all can be used by a user, the intimate of the user data and user is incorporated with to utilize The personal shopping assistant application of the data of group carries out buying in shop.By this way, user can carry out more well-informed Buy.
