Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first generation section that generates relationship information indicating the relationship between the foot features of a plurality of users and the features of specific footwear purchased by the plurality of users, an estimation section that estimates the foot features of a target user from a purchase history of the target user based on the relationship information generated by the first generation section, and a provision section that provides a service according to the foot features of the target user estimated by the estimation section.

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.

Abstract: Provided is a size measurement system for measuring the size of a user's foot, said system characterized by comprising: a size measurement instrument which is formed from a stand for the user to place the foot thereon, and a plurality of markers which are positioned in the periphery of the stand; and a measurement terminal which captures an image of a state in which the user has placed the foot on the stand in the size measurement instrument such that the plurality of markers can be recognized from a plurality of directions, and which computes size data for the foot from contour information for the foot obtained through the image capture from each of the directions

Abstract: Evaluation of a footwear size in consideration of foot development is properly performed. An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition section, a determination section, and a provision section. The acquisition section acquires attribute information of a user who has purchased footwear in a size suitable for the foot development. The determination section determines information for evaluating the size of the purchased footwear based on an attribute of the user included in the attribute information acquired by the acquisition section. The provision section provides information for proposing footwear in a size suitable for the foot development based on an evaluation result based on the information determined by the determination section.

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.

Abstract: A search system and the like is capable of accurately retrieving a captured image of a hairstyle specified by a user. The search system includes: a head region extraction unit that extracts a head region of a person from a captured image; an orientation estimation unit that estimates a face orientation of the person from the head region; a mask image generation unit that generates a mask image in which a hair region and a remaining region in the head region are distinguished from each other; a hairstyle identification unit that identifies a hairstyle of the person from the mask image using a result of the estimation of the face orientation; an operation accepting unit that accepts an operation of specifying a hairstyle by a user; and a captured image extraction unit that extracts a captured image based on the hairstyle specified in the operation and the identified hairstyle.

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.

Abstract: This size measuring system has: a size measuring instrument 10 which has, disposed on the surface thereof, a plurality of identifiable markers and which is attached to the body of a user when measuring the size of the body of the user; a measurement terminal 20 which measures the size of the body of the user by photographing the user having the size measuring instrument 10 attached thereto; a business operator terminal 30 which is operated by a provider providing the size measuring instrument 10; and a product data management server 40 which stores therein a database of product data including size information of products, such as garments to be worn by the user.

Abstract: To provide a body measuring device and a body measuring system that can be easily handled by even a user who has no special size-taking technique and can be used repeatedly. The body measuring device 10 is constituted by a main body part 1 made of an expandable material and forming a portion except for a foot bottom portion of a footwear, a foot bottom part 2 made of the expandable material and forming the foot bottom portion of a footwear shape, an insertion opening part 3 forming an opening serving as an insertion opening of socks and a measurement processing part 4 that executes processing or the like on measured values of a size and shape of the user's foot.

Abstract: [Problem] There are provided a size measurement apparatus and a size measurement system that even a user who has no specialized measurement technique can easily handle. [Solution Means] A size measurement system includes a size measurement apparatus (10) configured to be attached to a body of a user to measure a size and the like of the body of the user and output sensor measurement information representing the measured size and the like, a user terminal (20) configured to be operated by the user who measures the body, and a management server (30) configured to manage size information, shape information, and the like of apparel merchandise and provide merchandise search result information that is user size information as body size information of the user based on the sensor measurement information and information concerning merchandise matching the size.

Abstract: [Subject] To provide a size measuring device that can be readily handled and easily used for a size-taking process by even a user who has no specialized size-taking technique, a managing server, a user terminal and a size measuring system. [Means to Solve Problems] The size measuring system is provided with a size measuring device 10 that is attached to a user's body so as to measure the size of the user's body, and outputs sensor measurement information indicating the measured size or the like, a user terminal 20 operated by the user who measures the body and a managing server 30 that manages information or the like of the size and shape of apparel commodities, and based upon the sensor measurement information, supplies user size information corresponding to the information of the body size of the user and commodity retrieval results information corresponding to information about commodities that fit to the size to the user terminal 20.
