Searching apparatus, searching method, and searching system

摘要

A searching apparatus comprising: a storage unit that stores therein indexes for searching for an object included in an image and cooperative information indicating a function of cooperating with the object in association with each other; a receiving unit that receives a captured image; an extracting unit that extracts an object included in the captured image; a calculating unit that calculates a degree of similarity between the object searched for by an index stored in the storage unit and the object extracted from the captured image by the extracting unit; a searching unit that searches for one or more objects based on the degree of similarity from the storage unit; and a presenting unit that presents the cooperative information associated with the index corresponding to the object as a search result of the searching unit to a source of the captured image.

1. A searching apparatus comprising:
a memory configured to store therein one or more image data of which each includes respectively one or more cooperative object, and one or more pieces of cooperative information associated with one cooperative object; and a processor configured to,
receive a captured image including a captured object that is a capturing target of a user,search for, out of the image data, an image data that includes the same object as the captured object included in the received captured image,determine, when a plurality of image data that includes the same object as the captured object have been searched for, a priority among a plurality of the searched image data based on a first ratio of a size of the captured object with respect to a size of the received captured image,present the cooperative information associated with the cooperative object included in at least one of the plurality of the searched image data that includes the same object as the captured object based on the determined priority,extract the captured object from the received captured image,determine the first ratio based on the size of extracted captured object and the received captured image, anddetermine the priority among the plurality of the searched image data based on a relation between the first ratio and a second ratio of a size of the same object included in one of the plurality of the searched image data with respect to a size of the one of the plurality of the searched image data.
