Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional information providing methods using curated databases can only satisfy 60% to 70% of users, failing to meet the needs of superfans and advanced users who seek new experiences, as they are based on static data and general scales, unable to adapt to changing fashion trends and individual preferences.

Innovation Solution

An information providing system that generates item lists based on user and item profiles, using session information to calculate a target social position, updating user and item vectors dynamically, and proposing items in descending order of satisfaction scores, to cater to a broader range of user groups, including superfans and advanced users.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a curated database is used for information provision, then information can be provided to follower group users, but the system cannot satisfy superfans and advanced users who seek new experiences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser group coverageVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments users into different groups (follower group, superfans, advanced users) and applies different recommendation strategies for each segment. The system divides the recommendation task into multiple processing stages including vector generation, social position calculation, and dynamic adjustment, allowing tailored approaches for different user types without requiring a completely different system for each group.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic user vectors that are continuously updated based on user interactions, session information, and social position changes. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to evolving user preferences and trends in real-time, enabling it to satisfy both traditional follower group users and advanced users seeking new experiences by reflecting current fashion trends and individual preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If static database data is used, then the system is simple to maintain, but it cannot adapt to changing fashion trends and user preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrend adaptabilityVSAvoiddata processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where user interactions, selections, and session information are continuously fed back into the system to update user vectors and item vectors. This feedback loop enables the system to automatically adapt to changing fashion trends and user preferences without manual intervention, maintaining high adaptability while managing data processing through efficient vector update algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the state of data from static to dynamic by continuously updating user vectors and item vectors based on new information. The system adjusts vector parameters reflecting user preferences, social positions, and item attributes in real-time, enabling adaptation to trending topics and changing user tastes while maintaining computational efficiency through targeted updates rather than complete reprocessing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If general scale proposal is used, then follower group users are satisfied, but superfans with strong intentionality cannot be satisfied

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation precisionVSAvoidcalculation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by calculating specific social positions for users within the fashion industry context and generating tailored recommendation lists based on individual user characteristics. Instead of uniform general-scale proposals, the system computes personalized user vectors, determines social positions relative to fashion trends, and generates customized item lists that precisely match each user's specific preferences and intensity levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An information providing system 1 includes: an item list generator 55 that generates a match-pair list including items associated with a subject user based on information registered in a user profile database 51 and information registered in an item profile database 52; a session information processing system 6 that acquires session information in a session with the subject user via a user interface 2 and calculates a target social position of the subject user in a social space formed by reflection of sense of values of a plurality of registered users registered in the user profile database 51, based on the session information; and an item proposer 7 that proposes items to the subject user based on the match-pair list and the target social position.
