Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure include a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for determining a clothing size of a child. Consistent with some embodiments, the method may include obtaining at least one image of the child, and deriving one or more previous body measurements from the at least one image. The method further includes determining one or more current body measurements of the child based on the previous body measurements, and using the one or more current body measurements to determine the clothing size of the child.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a processor-implemented retrieval module configured to obtain image data including an image depicting a child at a particular age;

a processor-implemented image analysis module configured to identify a reference object in the image, the reference object being of known dimensions, the image analysis module further configured to derive one or more previous body measurements of the child using the known dimensions of the reference object, the one or more previous body measurements corresponding to the child at the particular age;

a processor-implemented body measurement module configured to determine one or more current body measurements of the child based on the one or more previous body measurements of the child;

a processor-implemented clothing size module configured to determine a clothing size of the child based on the one or more current body measurements; and

a processor-implemented interface module configured to provide computer-readable instructions that cause presentation of the clothing size of the child.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor-implemented interface module is further configured to receive a request for a child clothing size determination, wherein the request includes an identifier of a social network profile associated with the child, wherein the processor-implemented retrieval module obtains the image data by extracting the image data from social data corresponding to the social network profile.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor-implemented body measurement module determines the one or more current body measurements using expected growth data.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor-implemented body measurement module is configured to determine the one or more current body measurements by performing operations comprising;

determining the particular age of the child being depicted in the image;

determining a current age of the child;

accessing expected growth data, the expected growth data comprising a series of expected body measurements of children over time; and

extrapolating the one or more current body measurements of the child from the one or more previous body measurements using the particular age of the child, the current age of the child, and the expected body measurements.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the processor-implemented body measurement module determines the particular age of the child based on a timestamp included in the image data.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the processor-implemented body measurement module determines the current age of the child based on social data retrieved from a social network platform by the processor-implemented retrieval module.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor-implemented clothing size module determines the clothing size of the child based on clothing size data comprising a mapping between a plurality of body measurements and a corresponding plurality of clothing sizes.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a processor-implemented recommendation module configured to identify one or more product listings for clothing available in the clothing size of the child, wherein the processor-implemented interface module is further configured to provide computer-readable instructions that cause presentation of the one or more product listings.

9. A method comprising:

obtaining image data including an image depicting a child at a particular age;

identifying a reference object in the image, the reference object being of known dimensions;

deriving, using the known dimensions of the reference object, one or more previous body measurements of the child at the particular age;

determining, using the one or more previous body measurements, one or more current body measurements of the child at a current age;

determining, by a hardware processor, a clothing size of the child based on the one or more current body measurements; and

providing computer-readable instructions that cause display of the clothing size.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising receiving a request for a child clothing size determination, wherein the image data is included in the request.

11. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

receiving a request for a child clothing size determination, the request including an identifier of a social network profile associated with the child; and

retrieving social data corresponding to the social network profile, the social data including the image data.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the determining of the one or more current body measurements of the child is based on expected growth data comprising a plurality of expected body measurements of children over time.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the determining of the one or more current body measurements of the child comprises:

determining the particular age of the child being depicted in the image;

determining a current age of the child;

accessing expected growth data, the expected growth data comprising a series of expected body measurements of children over time; and

calculating the one or more current body measurements of the child based on a comparison of the one or more previous body measurements of the child at the particular age with the expected body measurements of children of the current age of the child.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the particular age and the current age are determined based on social data corresponding to a social network profile associated with the child.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the determining of the particular age of the child comprises:

determining an image capture date of the image based on a timestamp included in the image data; and

calculating the particular age of the child using the image capture date and a birth date of the child.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising extracting the birth date from social data corresponding to a social network profile associated with the child.

17. The method of claim 9, wherein the determining of the clothing size of the child comprises:

accessing clothing size data comprising a mapping of a plurality of body measurements to a corresponding plurality of clothing sizes; and

identifying the clothing size of the child from the clothing size data using the one or more current body measurement of the child.

18. The method of claim 9, wherein the one or more previous body measurements include at least one of a height, a weight, a chest size, a waist size, or a head circumference.

19. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

identifying one or more product listings for clothing available in the clothing size of the child; and

providing computer-readable instructions that cause presentation of the one or more product listings.

20. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

obtaining image data including an image depicting a child at a particular age;

identifying a reference object in the image, the reference object being of known dimensions;

deriving, using the known dimensions of the reference object, one or more previous body measurements of the child at the particular age;

determining, using the one or more previous body measurements, one or more current body measurements of the child at a current age;

determining a clothing size of the child based on the one or more current body measurements; and

providing computer-readable instructions that cause presentation of the clothing size of the child.
