INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
An information apparatus acquires a size of a specified item for sale specified according to a request of a request user from a purchase history storage means storing the purchase history of an item for sale to be worn. The size of the specified item for sale was purchased by other user who purchased the specified item for sale. The information apparatus acquires body size information related to a body size of the request user and body size information related to a body size of the other user. The information apparatus specifies an evaluation by the other user for the acquired size. The information apparatus estimates a size of the specified item for sale that fits the request user on the basis of a size relationship between the body size information of the request user and the body size information of the other user, the size of the specified item for sale purchased by the other user, and the evaluation for the size. The information apparatus outputs the estimated size.

when, on the basis of a non-purchase history stored in a non-purchase history storage unit storing the non-purchase history indicating that the other user determined to purchase the item for sale and thereafter cancelled the purchase, it is determined that the other user selected a size of the specified item for sale and thereafter cancelled the size and purchased another size, the evaluation specification unit specifies the evaluation so that the evaluation for the size that was purchased is higher than the evaluation for the size that was cancelled.
25 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 21 , wherein
when, on the basis of a return history of the item for sale stored in a return history storage unit, it is determined that the other user who purchased a plurality of the specified items for sale whose sizes are different from each other returned at least one but not all of the plurality of the specified items for sale, the evaluation specification unit specifies the evaluation so that the evaluation for the size of the specified item that was not returned is higher than the evaluation for the size of the specified item that was returned,
when the evaluation is input from the other user, the evaluation specification unit acquires the input evaluation, and
the estimation unit estimates the size by valuing the evaluation specified based on the return history more than the evaluation input from the other user.
26 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 21 , wherein
when the evaluation is input from the other user, the evaluation specification unit acquires the input evaluation,
when, on the basis of a non-purchase history stored in a non-purchase history storage unit storing the non-purchase history indicating that the other user determined to purchase the item for sale and thereafter cancelled the purchase, it is determined that the other user selected a size of the specified item for sale and thereafter cancelled the size and purchased another size, the evaluation specification unit specifies the evaluation so that the evaluation for the size of the specified item that was purchased is higher than the evaluation for the size of the specified item that was cancelled, and
the estimation unit estimates the size by valuing the evaluation input from the other user more than the evaluation specified based on the non-purchase history.
27 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 21 , wherein
the body size information acquisition unit acquires a body size of at least one of the request user and the other user as the body size information from a body size storage unit storing a body size registered from a user for each user.
28 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 27 , wherein
on the basis of the purchase history, the later a time when the other user purchased the specified item for sale is, the more the estimation unit values the evaluation from the other user and thereby estimates the size.
29 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 21 , wherein
on the basis of the purchase history, the body size information acquisition unit acquires at least one of a size of a first item for sale which the request user has ever purchased and a size of a second item for sale which the other user has ever purchased as the body size information.
30 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 29 , wherein
the estimation unit estimates the size by using the evaluation from the other user who purchased the specified item for sale and who purchased the second item for sale belonging to the same category as that of the first item for sale, and
the later a time when the request user purchased the first item for sale, the more the estimation unit values the evaluation from the other user who purchased the second item for sale that belongs to the same category as that of the first item for sale and thereby estimate the size.
31 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 29 , wherein
the smaller a difference between a time of purchase of the second item for sale of the other user and a time of purchase of the specified item for sale of the other user is, the more the estimation unit estimates the evaluation from the other user and thereby estimates the size.
32 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 21 , wherein
