Patent number: 11275780Abstract: An image search device receives an image search request and selects, from a plurality of images, a first group of images that match search conditions based on the search request. The image search device further selects, from the first group of images, a second group of images based on a score calculated by a predetermined evaluation formula, and outputs information about the second group of images as a search result. The predetermined evaluation criteria may be set so as to increase the score for an image in the first group of images based on positive engagement by many people on the predetermined internet service and based on the extent that the image is less similar to other images in the first group of images.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Ayana Tsuji, Kiyoaki Tanaka, Takahiro Takayama, Lizhou Zhang
