Abstract

A nail design display control apparatus including a first storage circuit which stores a plurality of nail designs, each of which being associated with evaluation values indicating matching levels of a nail design with respect a plurality of related items, an item specifying unit by which a user specifies one or more of related items among a plurality of related items; and an evaluation calculation unit which calculates a sum of the evaluation values with respect to the related items specified by the user for each of the plurality of nail designs.

Claims

1. A nail design display control apparatus, comprising:

a first storage circuit which stores a plurality of nail designs, each of which being associated with evaluation values indicating matching levels of a nail design with respect a plurality of related items;

an item specifying unit by which a user specifies one or more of related items among a plurality of related items; and

an evaluation calculation unit which calculates a sum of the evaluation values with respect to the related items specified by the user for each of the plurality of nail designs.

2. The nail design display control apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a first display control unit which makes a display unit display the plurality of related items;

a second storage circuit which stores evaluation results which are calculated by the evaluation calculation unit;

a ranking determination unit which performs ranking of each of the nail designs by comparing the evaluation results of the nail designs stored in the second storage circuit to each other; and

a second display control unit which makes the display unit display at least one of the nail designs in a descending order from a highest ranking nail design according to the ranking performed by the ranking determination unit.

3. The nail design display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of related items at least includes a plurality of fashion items indicating fashion related items and a plurality of fashion item related items including colors of the fashion items.

4. The nail design display control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the first storage circuit stores comment data which is associated with each of the nail designs;

and

the second display control unit displays the comment data which is associated with each of the nail designs along with a nail design when displaying the nail design in the display unit, the comment data being stored in the first storage circuit.

5. The nail design display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the plurality of related items at least includes any one of a type of outfit, a pattern of outfit, a color of outfit, a type of shoes, a color of shoes, a type of bag, a color of bag, an age of target whose nails are to be done, a situation of occasion, a season, an age range of a person to meet on the occasion and a gender of the person to meet on the occasion.

6. The nail design display control apparatus of claim 1, wherein

weighting of each of the evaluation values is changed according to a type of a specified related item when the evaluation calculation unit calculates an evaluation result, and

calculation processing of the evaluation result of each of the nail designs is performed for all of the nail designs.

7. The nail design display control apparatus of claim 1, wherein

when an evaluation result of each of the nail designs is calculated by the evaluation calculation unit, the evaluation result being a sum of evaluation scores for each of the nail designs, the ranking determination unit compares a newly obtained evaluation result and evaluation results of nail designs which are already stored in the second storage circuit and determines a provisional ranking in a descending order from a highest ranking nail design.

8. The nail design display control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the first storage circuit is a ROM and the second storage circuit is a RAM.

9. The nail design display control apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

an insertion unit including an insertion opening where a finger is inserted; and

a print head which performs printing on a nail of the finger inserted in the insertion unit.

10. A display control method for a nail design display,

wherein a first storage circuit stores a plurality of nail designs, each of which being associated with evaluation values indicating matching levels of a nail design with respect to a plurality of related items, and wherein the display control method comprises:

calculating a sum of the evaluation values of the related items specified by a user for each of the plurality of nail designs when one or a plurality of related item is specified by the user among the plurality of related items.

11. The display control method according to claim 10, further comprising:

first displaying the plurality of related items in a display unit;

storing evaluation results which are calculated in the calculating;

ranking of each of the nail designs by comparing the evaluation results of the nail designs calculated in the calculating to each other; and

second displaying at least one of the nail designs in the display unit in a descending order from a highest ranking nail design according to the ranking performed in the ranking, wherein

the evaluation results to be compared in the ranking are the evaluation results of the nail designs stored in the storing.

12. The display control method according to claim 10, wherein the plurality of related items at least include a plurality of fashion items indicating fashion related items and a plurality of fashion item related items including colors of the fashion items.

13. The display control method according to claim 11, wherein

in first storing, comment data which is associated with each of the nail designs is stored;

and

in second displaying, the comment data which is associated with each of the nail design is displayed along with the nail design when displaying the nail design in the display unit.

14. The display control method according to claim 10, wherein the plurality of related items at least includes any one of a type of outfit, a pattern of outfit, a color of outfit, a type of shoes, a color of shoes, a type of bag, a color of bag, an age of target whose nails are to be done, a situation of occasion, a season, an age range of a person to meet on the occasion and a gender of the person to meet on the occasion.

15. The display control method according to claim 10, wherein weighting of each of the evaluation values is changed according to a type of a specified related item when the evaluation calculation unit calculates an evaluation result, and

calculation processing of the evaluation result of each of the nail designs is performed for all of the nail designs.

16. The display control method according to claim 10, wherein when an evaluation result of each of the nail designs is calculated by the evaluation calculation unit, the evaluation result being a sum of evaluation scores for each of the nail designs, a newly obtained evaluation result and evaluation results of nail design which are already stored in the storing are compared and a provisional ranking in a descending order from a highest ranking nail design is determined in the ranking.

17. The display control method according to claim 11, wherein the first storage circuit is a ROM and the storing is a RAM.

18. The display control method according to claim 10, wherein the nail design display control apparatus includes:

an insertion unit including an insertion opening where a finger is inserted; and

a print head which performs printing on a nail of the finger inserted in the insertion unit.
