Patent number: 10296845Abstract: The present invention provides an attribute estimation system capable of acquiring an image of a person whose attributes are to be estimated accurately and informing the person of an attribute estimation result. The attribute estimation system (1) includes: a mirror (11) equipped with an information display terminal (12); and an attribute estimation device (3). The information display terminal (12) includes an image acquisition unit. The information display terminal (12) is disposed on the mirror (11) in such a manner that the information display terminal (12) can display information on a surface of the mirror (11) and that the image acquisition unit can acquire an image of a user of the mirror (11). The information display terminal (12) and the attribute estimation device (3) can be connected to each other via a communication line network (2). The attribute estimation device (3) generates attribute information estimated from the acquired image of the user of the mirror (11).Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2014Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: NEC SOLUTION INNOVATORS, LTD.Inventors: Iwao Waga, Tomomi Kinoshita, Mitsuhiro Fujita
