Solution Overview

Problem

Smart dressing mirrors in clothing stores primarily offer virtual try-on capabilities, lacking the ability to provide accurate and personalized clothing recommendations based on user preferences, leading to a monotonous user experience and reduced engagement.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method and apparatus that utilizes a dressing mirror to detect user operations, capture images, and transmit them to a server for analysis, generating recommendation information based on user preferences, which is then displayed back to the user, establishing an association between the server and client to enhance user interaction and improve recommendation accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a smart dressing mirror provides only virtual try-on capabilities, then the device structure remains simple, but the user experience becomes monotonous and engagement is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience diversityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dressing mirror system is enhanced to perform multiple functions: virtual try-on, image capture, user preference analysis, and personalized recommendation. The server integrates these diverse functions by receiving captured images, analyzing user preferences, and generating personalized clothing recommendations, transforming a single-function device into a multi-functional smart system that adapts to different user needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If the dressing mirror captures and transmits user images for analysis, then personalized recommendation accuracy is improved, but data processing time and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by capturing user images and analyzing user preferences in advance. The server receives captured images and conducts preference analysis before the user makes purchasing decisions, preparing personalized recommendations beforehand. This preliminary processing reduces decision-making time for users while maintaining high recommendation accuracy through thorough upfront analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the dressing mirror establishes association between server and client for personalized recommendations, then user engagement increases, but system complexity and data transmission requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary between the dressing mirror (client) and the recommendation system. The client captures images and transmits them to the server, which then analyzes user preferences and generates personalized recommendations. This intermediary architecture allows complex data processing and personalization algorithms to be centralized on the server side, keeping the client device relatively simple while still achieving high personalization capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An information processing method and device based on clothes trying on are disclosed. The method includes the following. Clothes is displayed by a dressing mirror based on clothes information. A user operation is detected by the dressing mirror during displaying the clothes. In a case of detecting that a user operation is a photographing operation, in response to the photographing operation, an image is captured and the captured image is transmitted to a first client through a server. In a case that the server generates recommendation information based on the captured image, the recommendation information is acquired by the dressing mirror from the server and the clothes is displayed based on the recommendation information.
