description In recent years, people have been buying custom-built PCs based on the performance they want and what they will use them for. However, there are many challenges for non-technical users when purchasing a custom-built PC. Not only is the terminology of computer devices unfamiliar to non-experts, but there are many specifications for different computer devices that need to be considered. Therefore, this paper proposes a method for recommending appropriate device models when purchasing custom-built PCs using a skyline. Because different computer devices have different specifications, we need a method that takes into account multiple attributes. Skyline querying is a technique that considers multiple attributes of an object and indexes them in order of user satisfaction. A grid skyline is a technique that uses a grid-based partitioning technique to reduce the number of calculations of the dominance relationship between objects in the existing skyline technique, thus reducing the index construction time. We measured the similarity between the results of the grid skyline and the leaderboard for each model of computer device. As a result of this experiment, compared to the leaderboard categorized by model of computer device, the average score was 88 out of 100, which was similar to the actual leaderboard.
