Proposal of a System to Support People Who Look for a Present Using E-commerce Websites

Abstract

The goal of our research is to support people who look for a present using E-commerce websites. When choosing presents, we need to consider his or her tastes and interests and explore many candidates with a trial and error manner to pick the appropriate one. This paper proposes a system that shows a connection between a variety of genres to facilitate such exploration. We conducted an experiment to confirm performances of the system. As a result, we found that exploration time and the number of explored items increased. The participants repeated a trial and error with a wider range of goods in comparison to a conventional system.
