Original Abstract Submitted

In order to generate and present information that is effective for preparing and determining a product design, a product-design generation support device according to the present invention is provided with an acquisition unit, a classification unit, and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires design information representing a target design for a target product, as well as gaze information of a plurality of target persons in relation to the target design. The classification unit classifies the plurality of target persons into a plurality of groups on the basis of the acquired design information and gaze information. The output unit outputs the result of the classification.
