Abstract

An information processing system includes a processing device communication with an information terminal. The system includes an input unit receiving user input, a display unit, a screen transition unit which decides a screen to be displayed and performs a screen transition based on the input of the input unit and the display unit, a screen transition score calculation unit which calculates a screen transition score for each screen transition, an item database which associates and stores an item name and attribute, an attribute score database which associates and stores the item attribute and an attribute score, an item search unit which searches the item database based on the user's input, and extracts the item attribute, and a score addition unit which adds the screen transition score calculated by the score calculation unit to the attribute score associated with the item attribute extracted by the item search unit.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An information processing device comprising:
a communication interface that is communicatively coupled to a mobile computer via a network;
a memory that stores:
an item database which associates and stores an item name and an item attribute;
a screen transition database which stores information related to screen transition; and
an attribute score database which associates and stores the item attribute and an attribute score indicating preferences of a user with regard to the item attribute;

a processor that is communicatively coupled to the communication interface and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive, using the communication interface, a first input from the mobile computer, wherein the first input is received in response to the mobile computer displaying a first screen;
select, using the memory, a second screen by searching the screen transition database based on the first input;
control, using the communication interface, the mobile computer to display the second screen, wherein the second screen prompts the user to enter a second input;
receive, using the communication interface, the second input from the mobile computer, wherein the second input is associated with a particular user of the mobile computer;
extract a particular item attribute by searching the item database based on the second input received a request received from the mobile computer;
determine a positive attribute score and a negative attribute score for the particular item attribute by searching the attribute score database based on the particular user of the mobile computer;
transmit, using the communication interface, a recommendation list to the mobile computer based on the positive attribute score and the negative attribute score for the particular item;
receive, using the communication interface, a third input from the mobile computer, wherein the third input is received in response to the mobile computer displaying a third screen that contains the recommendation list;
selectively add a screen transition score to the positive attribute score to form a positive temporary score when the third input indicates that the user selected an item from the recommendation list;
selectively add the screen transition score to the negative attribute score to form a negative temporary score when the third input indicates that the user is requesting to return to the second screen; and
update values of the positive attribute score and the negative attribute score stored in the attribute score database with the positive temporary score and the negative temporary score respectively.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the screen transition score is further calculated based on a speech or video information acquired by the mobile computer.

3. An information processing system, comprising:
a mobile computer that receives inputs from a user and displays screens to the user;
an item database which associates and stores an item name and an item attribute;
a screen transition database which stores information related to screen transition; and
an attribute score database which associates and stores the item attribute and an attribute score indicating preferences of a user with regard to the item attribute;
an information processing server that comprises a processor and is communicatively coupled to the mobile computer, the item database, the screen transition database and the attribute score database;
wherein the processor of the information processing server is configured to:
receive, using a communication interface, a first input from the mobile computer, wherein the first input is received in response to the mobile computer displaying a first screen;
select a second screen by searching the screen transition database based on the first input;
control, using the communication interface, the mobile computer to display the second screen, wherein the second screen prompts the user to enter a second input;
receive, using the communication interface, the second input from the mobile computer, wherein the second input is associated with a particular user of the mobile computer;
extract a particular item attribute by searching the item database based on the second input received from the mobile computer; and
determine a positive attribute score and a negative attribute score for the particular item attribute by searching the attribute score database based on the particular user of the mobile computer;
transmit, using the communication interface, a recommendation list to the mobile computer based on the positive attribute score and the negative attribute score for the particular item;
receive, using the communication interface, a third input from the mobile computer, wherein the third input is received in response to the mobile computer displaying a third screen that contains the recommendation list;
selectively add a screen transition score to the positive attribute score to form a positive temporary score when the third input indicates that the user selected an item from the recommendation list;
selectively add the screen transition score to the negative attribute score to form a negative temporary score when the third input indicates that the user is requesting to return to the second screen; and
update values of the positive attribute score and the negative attribute score stored in the attribute score database with the positive temporary score and the negative temporary score respectively.

4. The information processing system according to claim 3 ,
wherein the screen transition score is further calculated based on a speech or video information acquired by the mobile computer.
