Abstract

In the online shopping environment, consumers cannot access real products. Graphical information becomes the actual carrier of multi-dimensional attributes such as product functions, appearance, brand, concept, after-sales, and publicity, and establishes a comprehensive product image in the user’s brain. Those information affect consumers’ decisions such as purchase, collection or abandonment. This article take smartphone as an example, collect a wide range of smartphone attributes samples and kansei words. Based on kansei engineering and quantitative theory type I, a mathematical model between smartphone attributes and consumers’ preferences is built. This model will give reference for designers and can improve the accuracy of the online shopping recommendation system from another dimension.
