Techniques and systems are described that leverage computer vision as part of search to expand functionality of a computing device available to a user and increase operational computational efficiency as well as efficiency in user interaction. In a first example, user interaction with items of digital content is monitored. Computer vision techniques are used to identify digital images in the digital content, objects within the digital images, and characteristics of those objects. This information is used to assign a user to a user segment of a user population which is then used to control output of subsequent digital content to the user, e.g., recommendations, digital marketing content, and so forth.

A system automatically generates apparel collection imagery from user-provided imagery. The user-provided imagery includes images of people wearing one or more garments. The system uses segmenting analysis to analyze the user-provided image to identify locations of the garment. From the locations of the garments, the system can determine which garments from an apparel collection can be used to replace those in the user-provided imagery. The system uses pose estimation on the user-provided imagery and modifies a preview image of a replacement garment from the collection. This modified replacement garment image is used to replace the garment in the user-provided imagery.

A system described herein uses data obtained from a wearable device of a first user to identify a second user and/or to determine that the first user is within a threshold distance of the second user. The system can then access an account of the second user to identify one or more items and retrieve model data for the item(s). The system causes the wearable device of the first user to render, for display in an immersive 3D environment (e.g., an augmented reality environment), an item associated with the account of the second user. The item can be rendered for display at a location on a display that is proximate to the second user (e.g., within a threshold distance of the second user) such that the item graphically corresponds to the second user. The item rendered for display may be an item of interest to the first user.

A quotation system receives shape data of an article configured from a plurality of elements from a client terminal and provides quotation information of the article. The quotation system has: a memory storing the shape data and tolerance data in which multiple types of tolerance information relating to the elements are associated with each other; and a computer performing assistance processing to assist in setting of at least one type of the multiple types of tolerance information on the basis of the tolerance data.

In some embodiments, a system and a computer-implemented method for role-based collaborative design based on manufacturing constraints are disclosed. A method comprises: receiving, at a computer collaboration system, an electronic digital editing invitation from a first user interface that executes on a first user device associated with a first user, the editing invitation comprising inviting a second user to collaborate on a digital electronic interactive design as an editor, the interactive design comprising a graphical visual representation of a physical product that is capable of custom manufacture with a plurality of variable product attributes; transmitting to a second user device of the second user, the product description data for rendering the interactive design in a second user interface executing on the second user device; receiving a first modification to the interactive design from the second user interface; automatically generating a first updated product description data based on the first modification.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to presenting for selection, services comprising at least one bundled set of healthcare services to be performed separately by respective providers, determining a bundle price for the at least one bundled set of healthcare services and in response to receiving payment in an amount of the bundle price, generating a persistent purchase data record with a unique confirmation number that is selectively redeemable by the user to receive each of the healthcare services in the bundled set. The bundle price may be discounted and/or based on the location or time at which at least one service will be performed. The bundle price may also be based on the user's remaining health insurance deductible. A single payment may be disbursed to multiple providers of the bundled set of healthcare services. The received and/or disbursed payment may be in virtual funds.

A method for use in a computing system, comprising: outputting, by the computing system, a product configuration menu that specifies a first set of product components; outputting, by the computing system, information associated with a first product, the first product including the first set of product components; detecting, by the computing system, a user input that specifies a second set of product components, the user input being received via the product configuration menu; selecting, by the computing system, a second product that includes the second set of product components, the second product being selected by performing a search of a product distance data structure to identify a plurality of candidate products that include the second set of product components, obtaining a respective product distance score for the first product and each of the plurality of candidate products, and selecting one of the candidate products as the second product.

An on-demand manufacturing of apparel system includes online customization and ordering of garments, previewing of the garments, manufacturing including laser finishing of garments, and delivery to the customer. Laser finishing of apparel products reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduces product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Fabric templates can be used to produce a multitude of laser finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.

A food information providing device optimized for each individual according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a data acquisition unit configured to acquire characteristic information and microbiome analysis result information of a target individual, and a processor configured to determine a food customized for the target individual based on the acquired characteristic information and microbiome analysis result information.

A personalized garment and clothing design system and a personalized garment and clothing design process are disclosed. The personalized garment and clothing design system provides a user-accessible, interactive website that is configured to allow a user to design personalized garments and clothes. The personalized garment and clothing design system hosts a website that is interactive and provides several personalized garment and clothing design web user interface (UI) tools through which the user can provide personalized body type and sizing information. The user can utilize the UI tools to customize and personalize styles, fabrics, trims, sizing, colors, patterns, clothing and garment features, etc. The user can also interact with a customized digital mannequin to view personalized garment and clothing designs in progress. When finished, the garment or clothing design is physically produced and sent to the user to wear or start their own line and sell their custom designed garments.
