Patent number: 11379898Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for pressure-based apparel image searching are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes converting images in a product catalog of an electronic commerce website to a predetermined representation; storing the converted images in an index; determining a first object of interest within an image derived from a social media post and displayed on a screen, by detecting physical contact imparted by a user at a position on the screen corresponding to where the first object of interest is located; quantifying the amount of pressure applied by the user via the physical contact; determining additional objects of interest within the image based on the amount of pressure applied by the user; retrieving, from the index, images of products corresponding to the first object of interest and images of products corresponding to the additional objects of interest; and displaying the retrieved images on the screen.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vikas Raykar, Amrita Saha, Raghavendra Singh
