Personalized Outfit Recommendation System Using Affinity Scores
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Online clothing shopping lacks the ability to easily match coordinated outfits, as customers struggle to visualize how different clothing items would look together based on weather conditions and dress codes.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that uses a user's device to receive weather information and dress code selections, retrieve purchase history, and access an online catalog to determine and display a personalized outfit with multiple layers, utilizing item affinity scores and color rules to match items across layers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If customers shop for clothes online, then convenience is improved, but the ability to match coordinated outfits deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates virtual copies of physical clothing items through digital images and data representations. These digital copies are stored in a database and can be manipulated, combined, and displayed in virtual try-on scenarios, allowing customers to experiment with outfit combinations without physical handling.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/physical system of trying on clothes in-store with an automated computational system. Image processing algorithms, color analysis, and outfit recommendation engines automatically analyze clothing items and suggest coordinated outfits, substituting human styling expertise with automated digital processing.
2Ease of operation
If customers shop online without physical interaction, then convenience is improved, but visualization of outfit coordination deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from two-dimensional product images to three-dimensional virtual representations. Virtual try-on technology projects clothing onto 3D body models, allowing customers to view garments from multiple angles and understand fit, drape, and coordination in a spatial context that flat images cannot provide.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces virtual models and digital avatars as intermediaries between the customer and the clothing items. These virtual representations serve as a medium to display how clothes look when worn, enabling visualization without physical interaction with actual garments or human models.

AI summary
Systems and methods including one or more processing modules and one or more non-transitory storage modules storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processing modules and perform acts of coordinating displaying a set of dress code interface elements, coordinating displaying each weather condition interface element of the set of weather condition interface elements associated with a different weather condition of a set of weather conditions, receiving a dress code selection of a first dress code interface element of the set of dress code interface elements, receiving a weather condition selection of a first weather condition interface element of the set of weather condition interface elements, and coordinating displaying a first outfit comprising multiple layers. The one item for each layer of the multiple layers can be based on one or more item affinity scores for the user and one or more color rules.
