Abstract

A shoe purchase recommendation device includes: a user data storage unit that stores user data including at least an age and a foot size measurement value of a user; a foot size change prediction unit that calculates a change prediction value of a foot size of the user on the basis of the user data; a product information storage unit that stores product information including a shoe size; a purchase recommendation processing unit that determines a purchase-recommended date of shoes on the basis of the change prediction value and the product information; and a screen display processing unit that performs processing of displaying a notification screen containing a calendar display area in which a purchase-recommended date icon indicating the purchase-recommended date and a measurement-recommended date icon indicating a measurement-recommended date of the foot size are displayed on a calendar.

Claims (26)

1. A shoe purchase recommendation device comprising:

a memory that stores user data including at least an age of a user and a foot size measurement value of a size of a foot of the user and that stores product information including a shoe size; and

a processor configured to:

calculate a change prediction value of the size of the foot of the user on a basis of the user data and a prediction value of the size of the foot at a future time point based on the size of the foot and the change prediction value of the size of the foot;

determine a purchase-recommended date of shoes on a basis of a foot size fitting range of the shoe size and the prediction value of the size of the foot at the future time point, the foot size fitting range of the shoe size being a range of a foot size that is less than the shoe size for which purchase of shoes having the shoe size is recommended; and

control display of a notification screen containing a calendar display area including a calendar in which a purchase-recommended date icon indicating the purchase-recommended date is displayed,

wherein the notification screen includes a measurement-recommended date icon that indicates a measurement-recommended date on which the user is recommended to measure the size of the foot of the user, and

when the measurement-recommended date and the purchase-recommended date overlap, the processor is configured to control display of the measurement-recommended date icon or the purchase-recommended date icon on the calendar and display of an icon not displayed on the calendar in a sub-icon display area provided outside the calendar in the notification screen.

2. The shoe purchase recommendation device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the measurement-recommended date and the purchase-recommended date overlap, the processor is configured to alter a color of an icon displayed on the calendar.

3. The shoe purchase recommendation device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the measurement-recommended date and the purchase-recommended date overlap, the processor is configured to control display of the measurement-recommended date icon on the calendar and display of the purchase-recommended date icon in the sub-icon display area.

4. The shoe purchase recommendation device according to claim 1 , further comprising an event information storage unit that stores event information,

wherein the processor is configured to control display of the notification screen in which an event icon indicating an event is displayed on the calendar, on a basis of the event information.

5. The shoe purchase recommendation device according to claim 4 , wherein, when a date on which the event occurs overlaps with the measurement-recommended date or the purchase-recommended date, the processor is configured to control display of the measurement-recommended date icon or the purchase-recommended date icon on the calendar and display of the event icon in the sub-icon display area.

6. The shoe purchase recommendation device according to claim 5 , wherein, when the date on which the event occurs overlaps with the measurement-recommended date or the purchase-recommended date, the processor is configured to alter a color of the icon displayed on the calendar.

7. The shoe purchase recommendation device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to control display of the notification screen containing a list display area that displays a list of the measurement-recommended date, the purchase-recommended date, and the date on which the event occurs.

8. The shoe purchase recommendation device according to claim 4 , wherein the user data includes residential place information on the user, and

the processor is configured to control display of the notification screen in which the event icon of the event held in a region where the user lives is displayed on the calendar.

9. The shoe purchase recommendation device according to claim 4 , wherein the user data includes birthday information on the user, and

the processor is configured to control display of the notification screen in which a birthday icon indicating a birthday of the user is displayed on the calendar, on a basis of the user data.

10. The shoe purchase recommendation device according to claim 4 , wherein the event is a sporting ability measuring event in which sporting ability of the user is measured,

the user data includes a sporting ability measurement value, which is a measurement result for the sporting ability of the user measured in the sporting ability measuring event,

the product information includes information on a desired sporting ability value indicating the sporting ability coupled with each pair of shoes, and

the processor is configured to determine the purchase-recommended date for a purchase-recommended product determined by prioritizing the shoes of which the desired sporting ability value is equal to or less than the sporting ability measurement value, from among the shoes fitting to the change prediction value.

11. The shoe purchase recommendation device according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the purchase-recommended date for a purchase-recommended product determined by prioritizing the shoes matching a sports genre of the event, from among the shoes fitting to the change prediction value.

12. The shoe purchase recommendation device according to claim 4 , wherein the user data includes a designated genre, which is a sports genre designated by the user, and

the processor is configured to control display of the notification screen in which the event icon of the event for the sports genre matching the designated genre is displayed on the calendar.
