Method for image product recommendation

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure a method for determining product relevancy including extracting metadata from an image file of a digital image collection, the metadata being indicative of at least one feature of the image file. The method includes creating an input profile corresponding to the metadata extracted from the image files of the digital image collection. The method includes comparing the input profile to a product profile, the product profile having one or more rules corresponding to a consumer product, wherein the rules are indicative of the requirements of the product. The method includes determining a match score, the match score indicative of a relevancy of the product profile to the input profile such that a high relevancy correlates to a consumer product that is suited to the input profile and a low relevancy correlates to the consumer product that is not suited to the input profile.

1 . A method to determine and display relevant consumer products related to image files, the method comprising:
 providing an image processing system to a user on a user computing device; and   receiving the image files at a server, the server including one or more processors and a memory that stores product profiles related to consumer products, the one or more processors operating to:
 produce, responsive to the image files, an input profile defined at least in part by extracting metadata from the image files; 
 compare the input profile to the product profiles related to consumer products, the product profiles including one or more elements corresponding to metadata of the input file; 
 determine a match score by applying a reward or penalty based on the correlation of the image profile to the product profile, the reward increasing the value of the match score; and 
 output, to the image processing system, a list of the consumer products determined relevant to the input profile based on the value of the match score. 
   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising uploading the image file to the user computing device via wired or wireless electronic transfer. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein relevancy of the consumer product is determined by comparing the match score to a threshold value. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising activating a product window of the user computing device upon receipt of the list from the server, the product window displaying the list of consumer products. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , comprising sorting the list of consumer products by match score, popularity, price, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , where the product profiles for the consumer products are pre-loaded onto the memory of the server.
