Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides an information recommendation system and method for recommending content to users based on their preferences and conditions. The system can automatically extract relevant content based on user input and provide a large database of content for users to easily find information they need. The system can also recover maintenance costs for constructing and maintaining a large database. Additionally, the system can provide recommendations for users based on their objective or subjective items, and the number of times a user has registered content. The invention aims to provide an information recommendation apparatus that can recommend content that is not only relevant but also easy to find for users."

Problems solved by technology

Hence, how to prepare abundant contents is a big problem.
In other words, in order to accomplish information service using an information server, how to prepare abundant contents is a problem.
In addition, since maintenance cost for constructing and maintaining such a large database is considerably high, it is necessary to have an arrangement for recovering the maintenance cost.
In other words, preparing an arrangement for recovering the maintenance cost for constructing and maintaining such a large database is a problem.
Hence, it is difficult to find out information that is exactly suited for the user but unnoticed.
In other words, the difficulty in finding out information that is exactly suited for the user but unnoticed is a problem in the conventional information recommendation method.
Hence, the recipes are not suited for actual daily menus for family.
In other words, the recipes provided by the conventional method are not suited for actual daily menus for family, resulting in a problem.
However, the recipes are void of viewpoints obtained by the result of actually using the recipes, such as at what time a person wishes to eat a dish cooked according to one of the recipes and how the person felt after eating the dish.
Hence, there is a danger that the recipes may become data not suited for actual situations.
In other words, the recipes provided by the conventional method are void of viewpoints obtained by the result of actually using the recipes, and there is a danger that the recipes may become data not suited for actual situations, resulting in a problem.
