Abstract: A search system provides search results with images of products based on associations of primary products and secondary products from product image sets. The search system analyzes a product image set containing multiple images to determine a primary product and secondary products. Information associating the primary and secondary products are stored in a search index. When the search system receives a query image containing a search product, the search index is queried using the search product to identify search result images based on associations of products in the search index, and the result images are provided as a response to the query image.

Abstract: An online concierge system may determine recommended search terms for a user. The online concierge system may receive a request from a user to view a user interface configured to receive a search query. The online concierge system retrieves long-term activity data including previous search terms entered by the user while searching for items to add to an online shopping cart. For each previous search term, the online concierge system retrieves categorical search terms corresponding to one or more categories to which the previous search term was mapped. The online concierge system determines a set of nearby categorical search terms and sends, for display via a client device, the set of nearby categorical search terms as recommended search terms.

Abstract: A system allows a user to select designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. The previews provide photorealistic visualizations in two or three dimensions, and can be presented on a computer display, projected on a screen, or presented in virtual reality (e.g., via headset), or augmented reality. The system can also include a projection system that projects the new designs onto garments on mannequins in a showroom. The garments and the new designs projected onto the garments have a three-dimensional appearance as if the garments having the new designs are worn by people. Software and lasers are used in finishing the garments to produce garments with the new designs and the finished garments have an appearance of the three-dimensional appearance of the garments and new designs on the mannequins with the new designs projected onto the garments by the projection system.

Abstract: A server registers, into a first memory, user identification information and service information in a condition where a connection between the server and a target device via the Internet has not been established. The server registers, into a second memory, first device identification information in association with the user identification information and the service information registered in the first memory after receiving the first device identification information. After the connection between the server and the target device via the Internet has been established for a first time, the server causes a service providing server to provide the service to the user using the user identification information and the service information in the first memory in response to receiving the device identification information from a target device matching the first device identification information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating customer ID within an E-commerce platform are provided. Based on customer interactions with the e-commerce platform, evidence is collected, such as telephone numbers, names, addresses etc. The evidence is standardized to allow comparison/correlation. The evidence is then filtered to remove certain evidence determined to be unreliably associated with specific customers. For example, many customers may enter a fake phone number “0000000000”. Then, correlation is performed based on the filtered evidence to identify links between the evidence and associate sets of linked evidence with unique customer IDs.
