<p>A system for assisting a customer during shopping includes machine-readable currently-owned item indicia store and a compatibility determination subsystem. The machine-readable currently-owned item indicia store includes a smart-card, magnetic disk or the like, for storing indicia identifying selected characteristics of items which are currently owned by the customer, including such information as, for example, accurate color and/or styling parameter and metric information. The compatibility determination subsystem generates a compatibility assessment in response to the currently-owned item indicia stored by the currently-owned item indicia store, indicia identifying selected characteristics for items provisionally selected by the customer, and compatibility parameter information identifying compatibilities among various types of indicia.</p> |
