Abstract
The inventory capture system, method and apparatus (i.e., the inventory capture system) may provide for creating and updating an inventory of clothing for a user. The inventory capture system may use voice and image recognition to capture an inventory of clothing and provide users the ability to enhance the captured details about an inventory of clothing with annotations. Moreover, the inventory capture system may provide a way to facilitate retailers and users to leverage the user's existing inventory of clothing and augment the user's inventory of clothing with shared, purchased and/or rented clothing.
Claims22
An apparatus comprising:
- an analyzer to determine one or more aesthetic attributes of a fashion related item based on a recording of the fashion related item;
- a comparator to conduct a comparison between the one or more aesthetic attributes and one or more reference objects;
- an assignor to update a user inventory based on the comparison;
- and
- an object ambiguity clarifier including,
- an ambiguity receiver to receive, from the comparator, an ambiguity clarification request for the recording identified as matching multiple reference objects, the ambiguity clarification request seeking clarification on an aesthetic attribute that the apparatus finds ambiguous,
- an ambiguity notifier to construct and communicate a clarifying question based on the multiple reference objects,
- a clarification receiver to receive a response to the clarifying question,
- a clarification analyzer to conduct an analysis of the response, and
- a clarification communicator to communicate a clarification to the comparator, based on the clarification analysis, and thereby further identify the recording as one of the multiple reference objects.
An apparatus, comprising:
- an object recognizer to identify whether a recording of a fashion related item matches one or more reference objects, the object recognizer including:
- an object analyzer to determine, based on the recording, one or more aesthetic attributes of the fashion related item;
- an object comparator to conduct a comparison between the one or more aesthetic attributes and the one or more reference objects;
- an object assignor to update a user inventory based on the comparison;
- and
- an object ambiguity clarifier including,
- an ambiguity receiver to receive, from the comparator, an ambiguity clarification request for the recording identified as matching multiple reference objects;
- an ambiguity notifier to communicate a clarifying question based on the matched multiple reference objects;
- a clarification receiver to receive a response to the clarifying question;
- a clarification analyzer to conduct an analysis of the response;
- and
- a clarification communicator to communicate a clarification to the object comparator, based on the clarification analysis, and thereby further identify the recording as one of the matched multiple reference objects.
A method, comprising:
- determining one or more aesthetic attributes of a fashion related item based on a recording of the fashion related item;
- conducting a comparison between the one or more aesthetic attributes and one or more reference objects;
- updating a user inventory based on the comparison;
- receiving an ambiguity clarification request for the recording identified as matching multiple reference objects;
- constructing and communicating a clarifying question based on the multiple reference objects;
- receiving a response to the clarifying question;
- conducting an analysis of the response;
- and
- communicating a clarification, based on the clarification analysis, and thereby further identify the recording as one of the multiple reference objects.
At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to:
- determine one or more aesthetic attributes of a fashion related item based on a recording of the fashion related item;
- conduct a comparison between the one or more aesthetic attributes and one or more reference objects;
- update a user inventory based on the comparison;
- receive an ambiguity clarification request for the recording identified as matching multiple reference objects;
- construct and communicate a clarifying question based on the multiple reference objects;
- receive a response to the clarifying question;
- conduct an analysis of the response;
- and
- communicate a clarification, based on the clarification analysis, and thereby further identify the recording as one of the multiple reference objects.
