  • Patent number: 11599739
    Abstract: A data storage unit collects and stores, for each user, data related to a “room-and-image” combination preferred by the user. A generation unit generates information which indicates a “room-and-image” relationship and in which a preference of the user is reflected by using the data collected for each user. In a case where a room image (second image) captured by the user is acquired, an image selection unit selects an image (third image) in which the preference of the user is reflected, from an image group registered in a content DB or an image group registered in a user image DB, based on the acquired second image and the information which indicates the “room-and-image” relationship, and suggests the selected image to the user. Thereby, it is possible to suggest an image which matches with the user's room and in which the preference of the user is reflected, as an image for decorating the user's room.

  • Patent number: 11600031
    Abstract: There are provided a font creation apparatus, a font creation method, and a font creation program capable of generating, from small-number character images having a desired-to-be-imitated style, a complete font set for any language having the same style as the character images. A feature amount extraction unit (40) receives a character image (32) of a first font having a desired-to-be-imitated style and extracts a first feature amount of the first font of the character image (32). An estimation unit (42) estimates a transformation parameter between the extracted first feature amount and a second feature amount of a reference second font (34). A feature amount generation unit (44) generates a fourth feature amount of a second font set to be created by transforming a third feature amount of a complete reference font set (36) based on the estimated transformation parameter.
