Commodity Image Slide Show System for Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in efficiently viewing and selecting commodity images on mobile terminals, as existing methods require manual effort and extra information processing, especially for commodities where appearance is crucial.
Innovation Solution
An image display system comprising a server and terminal apparatus that automatically determines and displays groups of commodity images as a slide show, using databases to associate images with detailed information and user preferences, allowing for efficient visual recognition and selection without extra text-based information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If commodity recommendation information is transmitted by text and e-mail, then information can be delivered to mobile terminals, but users must perform extra operations and effort to view images
Solution Approach 1:
The server automatically determines commodity groups and transmits images before the user requests them. The system performs preliminary selection and organization of commodity images, so when the user receives the transmission, the images are already prepared and can be viewed immediately without requiring the user to perform searching or selection operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically determining which commodity groups to transmit based on user profiles and preferences. The server autonomously selects and prepares the appropriate images without requiring user intervention, allowing users to simply receive and view the transmitted images.
2Loss of information
If detailed information about commodities is transmitted with images, then users can access comprehensive product data, but transmission data volume and processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The commodity information is segmented into two parts: images transmitted to the mobile terminal and detailed information remaining on the server. The terminal only receives and displays images, while detailed information is accessed separately when needed, reducing the data volume and processing complexity at the terminal while preserving information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the terminal and detailed commodity information. Instead of transmitting all detailed information to the terminal, the server maintains the complete information repository and provides it on-demand, simplifying the terminal's processing requirements while ensuring information availability.

AI summary
Commodity images that tend to be selected by a user can be smoothly and efficiently displayed on the user's terminal without requiring the user's effort. A server acquires a plurality of commodity images to be transmitted to a mobile terminal from a commodity DB based on a purchase history stored in a user DB and an image feature amount of image DB, and transmits the acquired commodity images to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives the commodity images transmitted from the server and sequentially displays the received commodity images one by one as a slide show on the entire screen of a monitor. Therefore, the visual images of the commodities can be easily displayed without causing the user to perform special operations and without displaying extra information such as text.
