Abstract:
1. A region recommendation device comprising: a visibility analysis unit implemented by a programmed processor and configured to identify, based on a viewing order of a region on a screen, from among regions other than the region in which a user identified target object is placed, at least one region where the viewing order satisfies a set criterion as a frequent viewing region, wherein the frequent viewing region is identified to have an earlier viewing order than the region in which the target object is placed; a selection probability analysis unit implemented by a programmed processor and configured to identify, based on a selection probability of each object on the screen, from among objects placed on the frequent viewing region, at least one object of which the selection probability satisfies a set criterion as a frequent selection object, wherein the frequent selection object is identified to have a higher selection probability than the target object; and a recommended-region identification unit implemented by a programmed processor and configured to identify, based on the viewing order, from among regions other than the region in which the frequent selection object is placed in the frequent viewing region, a suitable region for placing the target object as a recommended-region, wherein the recommended-region is identified to have a viewing order that is earlier than the region in which the frequent selection object is placed.
