Design support system with votes from multiple people using digital signage

Abstract

We propose a system to create designs that reflect multiple user preferences obtained by voting using digital signage. When creating such designs, it is important to collect a significant number of user opinions and adopt them in the designs. However, as the number of users increases, the collection of opinions becomes more difficult. We propose an interactive evolutionary computation system using digital signage. This system presents several designs. Each user evaluates the designs by voting. In other words, this system obtains the preferences of multiple users by voting and uses the preferences to evaluate designs. Therefore, the proposed system can create designs that please multiple users. In our previous research, we proposed a paired comparison voting (PCV) method that obtains preferences from multiple users by voting and confirmed the effectiveness of the method by simulation. Here, we construct a system using the PCV method and digital signage to demonstrate its effectiveness with real users. The proposed system uses the PCV method to create designs. The experimental results show that the designs generated by the proposed system converged visually and genetically. As a result, we verified that the proposed system creates designs reflecting the preferences of multiple people.
