An information processing device includes a process target item extraction unit that refers to a database that stores keyword sets, each of the keyword sets being selected preliminarily as a combination of a plurality of search keywords unlikely to be simultaneously assigned to an identical item, performs item search on a database that stores item information using each of the search keyword belonging to one of the keyword sets, and extracts a process target item an appropriateness determination unit that determine for the extracted process target item, the determination determining a search keyword that should not be assigned to the process target item as an inappropriate keyword, among respective search keywords of the keyword set used for the extraction of the process target item and an inappropriate keyword handling process unit performs an inappropriate keyword handling process to improve a search result of item search.

A device and a method for generating sales leads for cemeteries utilizing three-hundred and sixty degree panoramic imagery in connection with a cemetery database is provided where a cemetery database made up of cemetery interment data is combined with three-hundred and sixty degree imagery of the cemetery and a user interface is built to search and view the combined database. By providing access to the combined database and using data request functions in the user interface, sale leads will be generated for the cemeteries.

An information processing apparatus retrieves related search criteria that are related to given search criteria, from a search criteria history storage. The information processing apparatus retrieves first search results matching the related search criteria. The information processing apparatus retrieves second search results matching the given search criteria. The information processing apparatus identifies selection criteria, based on operation logs corresponding to the related search criteria. Based on a comparison between third search results and fourth search results, the information processing apparatus generates distinction information that indicates a distinction of the fourth search results. The third search results are among the first search results and identified based on the operation logs. The fourth search results are among the second search results and correspond to the selection criteria. The information processing apparatus provides the distinction information.

A computer performing a travel plan search is disclosed. In the travel plan search, a term corresponding to an entered keyword is specified by referring to a first storage part which stores a correspondence relationship between keywords and terms, in response to receiving a search request based on the entered keyword. A region, for which a period corresponding to the specified term is recorded as an observation period, is specified by referring to a second storage part which stores the observation period of living things for each of regions. The travel plan corresponding to the specified term or the keyword, and the specified region, is specified by referring to a third storage part which stores the travel plan corresponding to the regions, and periods or keywords respectively. The specified travel plan is output.

A rendering constraint is detected for a maximum time between capture of each a plurality of frames of a captured video stream of a consumer and a rendering of each corresponding frame of a consumer representation comprising a rendered three dimensional model rendered to depict a consumer appearance and a movement wearing a particular merchandise item. Processor elements accessible to the at least one computing system are selected that are able to generate the rendered three dimensional model within the time period specified in the rendering constraint. At least one processing task is directed to the selected processor elements to build the consumer representation comprising the three dimensional model and generate a rendering of the three dimensional model wearing the particular merchandise item as the captured video stream is received in real time at the at least one computer system.

Methods and systems to automatically respond to a request for product information are described. In one embodiment, a data collection module may collect product data over a network, identify that the product data is related to a particular product, and store the product data and an association between the product data and the particular product in a database. An instant messaging engine may receive a request for the product data after the product data is stored in the database and an interpreter module may identify, in response to the request, the request to correspond to the particular product and retrieve the product data based on the association between the particular product and the product data. The instant messaging engine may also transmit, using an instant messaging protocol, a response to the request, the response including the product data.

Disclosed is a system and method for distributing media content. The system can include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores executable instructions for causing the processor to detect a stamp key embedded in the media content, and request an ad stamp associated with the stamp key. The stamp key may comprise a unique digital key for the ad stamp. The memory can further cause the processor to communicatively connect to a user system and a content system. The content system may be configured to distribute the media content. The user system may comprise a display and may be configured to receive the ad stamp and present the ad stamp on the display.

Disclosed are various embodiments for a navigation element. An insertion point is identified in a ranking of search results. A navigation element is included in the search results. A selection of the navigation element modifies a constraint used to generate the search result.

Disclosed are various embodiments for customizing an item search and browsing experience based on a delivery speed preference. Multiple delivery speed options are generated for a client device, and a listing of the delivery speed options are sent to the client device. A user selection of a particular delivery speed option is then received from the client device. An item search criterion is received from the client device. A listing of items selected from an electronic item database is generated based at least in part on the item search criterion and item availability via the particular delivery speed option. Data encoding the listing of items is sent to the client device for rendering on a display.

A query for product search includes multiple search terms. A priority among the multiple search terms may be determined based on past queries and the results of the past queries. Using the priority of the search terms, better and relevant search results may be returned for the query. Further, the priority of the search terms may be used to implement search term expansion, search term reduction, and search term substitution to suggest relevant alternative queries to a user to improve search results.
