  • Patent number: 12646077
    Abstract: Footwear suitable for foot development of a user is properly proposed. An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition section, an estimation section, and a provision section. The acquisition section acquires measurement information at a first timing taken by measuring a foot size of a user. The estimation section estimates a first period taken until the foot size of the user meets a predetermined condition based on the measurement information at the first timing acquired by the acquisition section and a foot development pattern based on an attribute of the user at the first timing. The provision section provides information for proposing footwear in a size suitable for foot development of the user based on an estimation result by the estimation section.

  • Patent number: 12620013
    Abstract: Further improvement of service suitable for a foot size of a target user based on evaluations of a plurality of sizes is promoted. An information processing apparatus includes an identification section, a generation section, and a provision section. The identification section identifies an allowable range of sizes of specific footwear that is allowable for at least one specific user based on evaluation information on a plurality of sizes of the specific footwear evaluated by the specific user. The generation section generates first correlation information indicating a first correlation between the allowable range identified by the identification section and a foot size of the specific user. The provision section provides service according to a foot size of a target user based on the first correlation information generated by the generation section.

  • Patent number: 12530863
    Abstract: Glasses are used to determine a color of each position of a face of a user by a computer system based on first image data (with-glasses face image) obtained by capturing an image of the user wearing the glasses, and second image data (no-glasses face image) obtained by capturing an image of the user without the glasses. The glasses include a position determination marker at a predetermined position and has a predetermined color (color pattern) at a predetermined position. The computer system determines the color of each position of the face of the user based on the first image data and the second image data using the marker and the color.

  • Patent number: 12511825
    Abstract: An information processing device includes: a formation unit configured to analyze relative positions of dots as measurement markers that expand and contract together with a suit, and form a cluster of the dots; an assignment unit configured to assign numbers to the cluster and the dots; a specification unit configured to acquire the assigned number, set the assigned number to a predetermined coordinate position, and specify a silhouette; and a generation unit configured to generate a three-dimensional (3D) model based on the specified silhouette. The formation unit forms a hexagonal cluster from a dot pattern of the suit, and increases the hexagonal cluster to form a unique honeycomb structure. The assignment unit assigns numbers to the cluster and the dots based on the honeycomb structure. Solid dots and hollow dots are printed as the dots on the whole suit. Thus, a 3D model of a body shape of a user is created with higher accuracy by using a garment for measuring body sizes.
