Abstract

An information processing system includes a display that displays a descriptive text describing an object, an acquirer that, in a case in which multiple objects described by the descriptive text exist, acquires information about a description format of the descriptive text describing a first object selected by a user, a specifier that specifies the description format that the user prefers based on the information about the description format acquired by the acquirer, a recommendation target decider that decides a recommendation target to recommend to the user from among the multiple objects, and a descriptive text display that displays a descriptive text describing the decided recommendation target based on the description format specified by the specifier.

Claims (51)

1 . An information processing system comprising:

a display that displays a descriptive text describing an object;

an acquirer that, in a case in which multiple objects described by the descriptive text exist, acquires information about a description format of the descriptive text describing a first object selected by a user;

a specifier that specifies the description format that the user prefers based on the information about the description format acquired by the acquirer;

a recommendation target decider that decides a recommendation target to recommend to the user from among the multiple objects; and

a descriptive text display that displays a descriptive text describing the decided recommendation target based on the description format specified by the specifier.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the acquirer acquires information about a description format of a descriptive text describing a second object not selected by the user, and

the specifier specifies the description format based on the information about the description format of the descriptive text associated with the first object selected by the user and the information about the description format of the descriptive text associated with the second object not selected by the user.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a calculator that calculates an indicator related to a user preference regarding the description format, based on the information about the description format of the descriptive text associated with the first object selected by the user and the information about the description format of the descriptive text associated with the second object not selected by the user, wherein

the specifier specifies the description format based on the indicator calculated by the calculator.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the description format of the descriptive text displayed by the descriptive text display is a format of a description related to a basis for recommending the recommendation target to the user.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein

the format of the description related to the basis is a format of a description of a feature of the recommendation target in a category to which the user preference belongs.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a storage unit that stores the information about the description format acquired by the acquirer; and

a calculator that calculates a compatibility indicator related to a compatibility between the object and the description format, based on the information stored in the storage unit, wherein

the specifier specifies the description format on a basis of the compatibility indicator.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein

the calculator calculates the compatibility indicator related to the compatibility between the recommendation target decided by the recommendation target decider and the description format, and

the specifier specifies the description format based on the compatibility indicator associated with the recommendation target decided by the recommendation target decider.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein

the calculator calculates the compatibility indicator related to the compatibility between the description format specified by the specifier and the object, and

the recommendation target decider decides the recommendation target based on the compatibility indicator associated with the description format specified by the specifier.

9 . The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein

the specifier specifies the description format and the recommendation target decider also decides the recommendation target based on the compatibility indicator.

10 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the information about the description format acquired by the acquirer includes information related to a number of description formats used in the descriptive text describing the first object selected by the user, and

the specifier specifiers a number of description formats that the user prefers.

11 . An information processing system comprising:

a display that displays a descriptive text describing an object;

an acquirer that, in a case in which multiple objects described by the descriptive text exist, acquires information about a description format of the descriptive text describing a first object selected by a user;

a specifier that specifies a combination of the first object and the description format that the user prefers, based on the information about the description format acquired by the acquirer; and

a descriptive text display that displays a descriptive text describing the first object based on the description format specified by the specifier.

12 . An information processing system comprising:

a display that displays a descriptive text describing an object;

an acquirer that, in a case in which multiple objects described by the descriptive text exist, acquires history information related to a selection history of first objects selected by the user and/or a search history of first objects searched for by the user;

a recommendation target decider that decides a recommendation target to recommend to the user from among the multiple objects based on the history information;

a specifier that specifies the description format of the descriptive text describing the recommendation target based on a decision basis when the recommendation target decider decides the recommendation target; and

a descriptive text display that displays the descriptive text describing the recommendation target decided by the recommendation target decider based on the description format specified by the specifier.

13 . The information processing system according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a calculator that calculates an indicator related to a user preference regarding the object based on the history information, wherein

the recommendation target decider decides the recommendation target based on the indicator, and

the decision basis is a category to which belongs the user preference related to the indicator that acts as a motive by which the recommendation target decider decides the recommendation target.

14 . The information processing system according to claim 13 , further comprising:

a storage unit that stores the history information acquired by the acquirer, wherein

the calculator calculates indicators in multiple categories to which preferences of the user belong, based on information stored in the storage unit,

the recommendation target decider decides the recommendation target based on the indicators in the multiple categories, and

the decision basis is the category of the indicator that contributes most to the decision of the recommendation target from among the indicators in the multiple categories.
