METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR HARMONIZING A DÉCOR SCHEME

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating a harmonized set of décor accessories using one or more harmony descriptors. Some systems facilitate harmonization by receiving a representation of a plurality of décor accessories that includes metadata, creating one or more harmony descriptors from the metadata, and matching two or more décor accessories using the harmony descriptors. The harmony descriptors can identify matching décor accessories based on a subset of metadata elements of the décor accessories. Two or more metadata elements can match by being similar, identical, or complementary. Some systems automatically determine whether the metadata elements of two décor accessories match, while other systems allow a curator to determine whether two décor accessories match. Various systems allow a user or curator to select a décor accessory and, upon selection, search a harmony descriptor database for a matching décor accessory.
