System and method for using image analysis and search in E-commerce

This is a computer program that helps people find products online. You can show it a picture of something you like, and the program will look at the picture, especially its color, to figure out what the item is. Then, it uses that information to show you the product, perhaps letting you adjust the color you're looking for with a tool like a color slider.

Why it matters: Filed before modern computer vision and deep learning made image analysis highly accurate and accessible. The claims focus on color, which is now a trivial part of image analysis, allowing for much richer product understanding and visual search capabilities.
