Abstract

A method and an electronic device for rating outfit are provided. In the method, a plurality of candidate items are received, and each two of the candidate items are paired to create a plurality of questions, where each of the questions includes two candidate items among the candidate items. The questions are respectively transmitted to a plurality of raters in a group, and a selection of each of the raters on the two candidate items in the received question is received. A number of times that each of the candidate items is selected is aggregated, and accordingly the candidate items are sorted to form a recommending series. In addition, a rating for at least one of the candidate items is received, and the raters who selected the candidate item matching the rating are searched to serve as the raters for a subsequent outfit rating.

Claims

1. A method for rating outfit, adapted for an electronic device, comprising:

receiving a plurality of candidate items;

pairing each two of the candidate items to create a plurality of questions, wherein each of the questions comprises two candidate items among the candidate items;

respectively transmitting the questions to a plurality of raters in a group;

receiving a selection of each of the raters on the two candidate items in the received question;

aggregating a number of times that each of the candidate items is selected, and accordingly sorting the candidate items to form a recommending series;

receiving a rating for at least one of the candidate items; and

searching the raters who selected the candidate item matching the rating to serve as the raters for a subsequent outfit rating.

2. The method for rating outfit according to claim 1, wherein the step of aggregating the number of times that each of the candidate items is selected, and accordingly sorting the candidate items to form the recommending series comprises:

each time when one of the candidate items is selected, accumulating one to a number of votes for the selected candidate item; and

sorting the candidate items to form the recommending series according to the number of votes being accumulated.

3. The method for rating outfit according to claim 1, wherein after the step of receiving the rating for the at least one of the candidate items, the method further comprises:

picking the candidate items having the number of times being selected greater than a threshold, and editing the picked candidate items to create a magazine; and

sharing the magazine to a community.

4. The method for rating outfit according to claim 1, wherein the step of searching the raters who selected the candidate item matching the rating to serve as the raters for the subsequent outfit rating comprises:

selecting the candidate item corresponding to at least one top rating among the ratings, and searching the raters who selected the same candidate item to serve as the raters for the subsequent outfit rating.

5. The method for rating outfit according to claim 1, wherein the group comprises a contact group in a social network, an application or a communication software.

6. An electronic device for rating outfit, comprising:

a communication unit;

a storage unit, configured to record a plurality of modules; and

a processing unit, coupled to the communication unit and the storage unit to access and execute the modules recorded in the storage unit, and the modules comprising;

a pairing module, receiving a plurality of candidate items, and pairing each two of the candidate items to create a plurality of questions, wherein each of the questions comprises two candidate items among the candidate items;

an inquiry module, respectively transmitting the questions to a plurality of raters in a group and receiving a selection of each of the raters on the two candidate items in the received question through the communication module;

a sorting module, aggregating a number of times that each of the candidate items is selected, and accordingly sorting the candidate items to form a recommending series; and

an updating module, receiving a rating for at least one of the candidate items, and searching the raters who selected the candidate item matching the rating to serve as the raters for a subsequent outfit rating.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein each time when the candidate item is selected, the sorting module accumulates one to a number of votes for the selected candidate item, and sorts the candidate items to form the recommending series according to the number of votes being accumulated.

8. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the modules further comprise:

a sharing module, picking the candidate items selected by the number of times greater than a threshold, editing the picked candidate items to create a magazine, and sharing the magazine to a community.

9. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the updating module selects the candidate item corresponding to at least one top rating among the ratings, and searches the raters who selected the same candidate item to serve as the raters for the subsequent outfit rating.

10. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the group comprises a contact group in a social network, an application or a communication software.
