Description

  The present invention relates to a fashion coordination generation device that generates a coordination of a fashion item.

  People who are not particularly interested in fashion or those who do not have knowledge may not know how to coordinate fashion items. Even so, it is very cumbersome to choose the best combination from the many fashion items when coordinating.

  Therefore, various systems that support coordination have been proposed. For example, Patent Literature 1 describes a fashion coordination method in which a user inputs a combination condition and a terminal device determines a combination of clothing items based on the combination condition. Patent Document 2 discloses a clothing sales system that presents customers with clothing recommended by a store based on personal color information.

JP 2002-339135 A JP 2006-89883 A

  For such coordination support, it is desirable that an appropriate coordination can be generated by a simple operation. However, Patent Document 1 is troublesome because it is necessary to input combination conditions when performing coordination, and details of the combination method are also unknown. Moreover, although the apparel sales system of patent document 2 is shown that another apparel is displayed in order with a high degree of a color match with a certain apparel, this selects the apparel to combine. When referring to it, it was necessary for shop assistants to select clothing items.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fashion coordination generation apparatus and the like that can generate appropriate coordination with a simple operation.

  According to a first aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, there is provided storage means for storing item data indicating characteristics of a fashion item and combination rule data defining a combination rule indicating a combination of compatible characteristics, and the combination By using the rule data, a fashion item having characteristics that match the characteristics of the fashion item to be coordinated is extracted as a fashion item to be combined with the fashion item to be coordinated to generate a coordinate that indicates a combination of the fashion items. A fashion coordination generating device comprising: a generating means;

  Here, the characteristics of the fashion item include, for example, the category, color, size, taste, silhouette, and season or scene suitable for the fashion item. According to the fashion coordination generation device of the present invention, since the fashion item to be combined with the fashion item to be coordinated is generated based on the combination rule data that defines the combination suitable for such characteristics, the coordination is generated. Fashion items that match the fashion items are automatically extracted, and appropriate coordination can be generated with a simple operation.

Moreover, it is desirable to further include an item extracting means for extracting fashion item candidates used for coordination based on the characteristics selected by the user.
Thereby, since the fashion item which becomes a candidate of coordination is extracted only by selecting the characteristic of a fashion item, coordination according to a user's wish can be generated easily.

It is desirable that the coordination generating means extracts fashion items to be combined with the fashion item to be coordinated in a plurality of stages using each of a plurality of combination rule data.
As a result, a plurality of characteristics of the fashion item can be reflected in the extraction of the fashion item to be combined with the coordinate object, and more appropriate coordination can be performed.

When the coordinate generating means extracts a fashion item using another combination rule data from a fashion item extracted using one combination rule data, the fashion item extracted using the other combination rule data When the number of items is 0, it is desirable to randomly select one fashion item to be combined with the fashion item to be coordinated from the fashion items extracted using the one combination rule data.
In this way, when the number of extracted fashion items becomes 0, it is possible to select a fashion item to be combined from the fashion items extracted in the previous stage, and in this case as well, appropriate coordination can be performed. It becomes like this.

The combination rule data defines one or a plurality of the combination rules, and the coordination generation unit selects one combination rule from the predetermined combination rule data, and is combined with the selected combination rule. It is desirable to select the fashion item to be coordinated from among fashion items having one of the characteristics.
Thereby, since the selection of the fashion item to be coordinated is automatically performed, there is no need to select the fashion item.

It is preferable that the coordinate generation unit selects a fashion item to be combined with the fashion item to be coordinated from among the fashion items having characteristics different from the one characteristic among the characteristics combined by the selected combination rule. .
Thereby, the fashion item combined with the fashion item of coordination object is selected appropriately.

Moreover, it is desirable that the predetermined combination rule defines a combination of suitable characteristics for a category that is a type of the fashion item.
As a result, a coordinate with a suitable combination of at least the categories of fashion items is generated, so that an inconvenient coordinate is not generated.

  A second invention is a fashion coordination generation system in which a user terminal and a fashion coordination generation device are connected via a network, and the fashion coordination generation device is compatible with item data indicating characteristics of a fashion item. Storage means for storing combination rule data that defines a combination rule indicating a combination of a fashion item, and using the combination rule data, a fashion item having characteristics that match the characteristics of the fashion item to be coordinated is converted into the fashion to be coordinated. Coordinate generating means for generating a coordinate indicating a combination of fashion items by extracting as a fashion item to be combined with the item; Coordinate display screen transmission means for transmitting a coordinate display screen indicating denate to the user terminal, wherein the user terminal receives and displays the coordinate display screen. .

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the fashion coordination generating apparatus includes storage means for storing item data indicating characteristics of a fashion item and combination rule data defining a combination rule indicating a combination of compatible characteristics, and the combination Using the rule data, generating a fashion item having a characteristic that matches the characteristic of the fashion item to be coordinated as a fashion item to be combined with the fashion item to be coordinated, thereby generating a coordinate indicating the combination of the fashion items Is a fashion coordination generation method characterized by

Returning to the description of FIG.
The item extraction unit 27 extracts candidates for the item 20 used for coordination based on the extraction condition input from the user terminal 3.
The coordinate generation unit 28 generates a suitable combination of items 20 as a coordinate from the items 20 extracted by the item extraction unit 27 using the combination rule data 25.
The coordinate display screen transmission means 29 creates a coordinate display screen for displaying the generated coordinate and transmits it to the user terminal 3.

(Processing performed by the fashion coordination generator 1)
Next, the flow of processing performed by the fashion coordination generation device 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the control part 11 of the fashion coordination production | generation apparatus 1 first receives the input of the extraction conditions for extracting the item 20 used as the candidate for coordination from the user terminal 3 (S101). This extraction condition relates to the characteristics of the item 20 described above.

In S101, for example, the control unit 11 transmits an input screen for inputting an extraction condition to the user terminal 3 and displays it on the display unit 36, and accepts an input of the extraction condition by the user.
FIG. 7 shows an example of the input screen 30. As an extraction condition, the characteristics of the season 231 and the scene 233 are selected and input from a pull-down menu.

  Next, the control part 11 extracts the candidate of the item 20 used for coordination based on the extraction conditions input by S101 (S102).

  For example, when “Spring” is input as the season 231 and “Odekake” is input as the scene 233 in S101, the item 20 having the characteristics of the input season 231 and scene 233 is extracted in S102.

  The characteristics input in S101 are not limited to this. Further, other characteristics such as the characteristics of the taste 232 may be input. For the extracted item 20, for example, the item ID 211 is stored in a RAM or the like. The same applies to the item 20 extraction process described below.

  After extracting the item 20 in S102, the control part 11 produces | generates the suitable combination of the item 20 as a coordinate from it (S103). Details of this processing will be described later.

  And the control part 11 produces the coordination display screen which displays the produced | generated coordination, and transmits to the user terminal 3 (S104). The user terminal 3 receives the coordinate display screen and displays it on the display unit 36. This coordinate display screen will be described later.

(Coordinate generation process)
Next, details of the coordinate generation process in S103 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of the coordinate generation process.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 11 of the fashion coordination generation device 1 first selects one combination rule randomly from the combination rule data 25 of the category 225 described with reference to FIG. 5A (S201).

  Here, it is assumed that the combination rule of the rule number i is selected as indicated by the range B in FIG. In this combination rule, “tops” is recorded as the first term, “bottoms” as the second term, and “shoes” as the third term. As described above, “tops”, “bottoms”, and “shoes”. The combination of is determined.

  Next, the control unit 11 randomly selects one item 20 corresponding to the first category 225 of the combination rule selected in S201 among the items 20 extracted in S102, and coordinates the selected item 20 with the item 20 to be coordinated. (S202).

As shown in FIG. 9A, in this example, since the category 225 of the first term of the selected combination rule is “tops”, the characteristics of “tops” as the category 225 among the items 20 extracted in S102. One item 20 is selected at random from the items 20 having.
Here, as shown in the figure, the color 222 has “monotone system”, the category 225 has “tops”, the size 226 has “short”, the taste 232 has “casual”, and the silhouette 234 has “volume” characteristics. Assume that item 20 is selected.

  Next, the control part 11 extracts the item 20 applicable to the category 225 next to the combination rule selected by S201 among the items 20 extracted by said S102 (S203).

  As shown in FIG. 9B, in this example, since the category 225 of the second term is “bottoms”, among the items 20 extracted in S102, the item 20 having the characteristic of “bottoms” as the category 225 is displayed. Extracted. The group of items extracted here is set as group a.

  Subsequently, the control unit 11 determines the number of items 20 of the group a extracted in S203 (S204).

If the number of items 20 is 1 (S204; “1”), the item 20 is selected as the “bottoms” item 20 to be combined with the “tops” item 20 selected in S202 (S215).
On the other hand, if the number of items 20 is 0 (S204; “0”), the process returns to S201, and the combination rule is selected again. At this time, it may be determined to exclude the rule selected earlier.

If the number of items 20 is 2 or more (S204; “2 or more”), the control unit 11 narrows down the items 20.
That is, the control unit 11 extracts the item 20 that matches the “tops” item 20 selected in S202 in the combination rule of the size 226 and the silhouette 234 from the group 20 item 20 extracted in S203 (S205).

In S205, the combination rule data 25 relating to the characteristics of the size 226 and the silhouette 234 described with reference to FIG.
In this example, since the size 226 of the item 20 of “tops” selected in S202 is “short” and the silhouette 234 is “volume” (see FIG. 9A), as shown in FIG. With reference to the range C corresponding to the size 226 and the silhouette 234 of the item 20 of “tops”, the item 20 of “bottoms” having the characteristics of the size 226 and the silhouette 234 conforming thereto is extracted from the item 20 of the group a. To do.

  Here, with reference to the range C, the item 20 of “bottoms” other than the size 226 having “medium” and the silhouette 234 having “volume” (“×” in the figure) is suitable. 20 is extracted. The item group extracted here is set as group b.

In addition, as described above, in the figure, “Δ” is a combination that is suitable for belting, but in this case, for example, if “belt” is included in the combination rule selected in S201, it is considered suitable. do it.
“■” is a suitable combination if the item 20 of “bottoms” is “pants” and is a combination that is not so if the item is “skirt”. In this case, for example, the product name of the item 20 221 and product description 224, etc., if a term similar to “pants”, such as “pants” or “jeans” is included, it shall be qualified, and if a term similar to “skirts” is included, it shall not be qualified. do it. Note that the processing when neither word is included can be arbitrary.

  Subsequently, the control unit 11 determines the number of items 20 of the group b extracted in S205 (S206).

  If the number of items 20 is 1 (S206; “1”), the item 20 is selected as the “bottoms” item 20 to be combined with the “tops” item 20 selected in S202 (S215).

  On the other hand, if the number of items 20 is 0 (S206; “0”), the narrowing-down conditions based on the size 226 and the silhouette 234 are removed. That is, one item 20 is randomly extracted from the group 20 item 20 extracted in S203 before narrowing down (S207), and this is combined with the “tops” item 20 selected in S202. Is selected (S215).

If the number of items 20 is 2 or more (S206; “2 or more”), the control unit 11 further narrows down the items 20.
That is, the control unit 11 extracts the item 20 that matches the “tops” item 20 selected in S202 in the combination rule of the color 222 from the group 20 items 20 extracted in S205 (S208).

In S208, the combination rule data 25 relating to the color 222 described with reference to FIG.
In this example, since the color 222 of the “tops” item 20 selected in S202 is “monotone system” (see FIG. 9A), in the combination rule data 25 of the color 222, as shown in FIG. With reference to the combination rule in which any one item is “monotone system”, the “bottoms” item 20 corresponding to the color 222 combined with the “monotone system” color 222 is extracted from the item 20 of the group b.

  Here, referring to the combination rule of rule numbers iii to v shown in the range D of the figure including the “monotone system” color 222, “yellow system” combined with the “monotone system” according to at least one rule. The item 20 having the characteristic of any one of the colors 222 of “green”, “blue”, “red”, and “monotone” is extracted. The item group extracted here is set as group c.

  Next, the control unit 11 determines the number of items 20 of the group c extracted in S208 (S209).

  If the number of items 20 is 1 (S209; “1”), the item 20 is selected as the “bottoms” item 20 to be combined with the “tops” item 20 selected in S202 (S215).

  On the other hand, if the number of items 20 is 0 (S209; “0”), the narrowing condition by the color 222 is removed. That is, one item 20 is randomly extracted from the group 20 item 20 extracted in S205 before narrowing down (S210), and this is combined with the “tops” item 20 selected in S202. Is selected (S215).

If the number of items 20 is 2 or more (S209; “2 or more”), the control unit 11 further narrows down the items 20.
That is, the control unit 11 extracts, from the item 20 of the group c extracted in S208, the item 20 that matches the “tops” item 20 selected in S202 in the combination rule of the taste 232 (S211).

In S211, the combination rule data 25 regarding the taste 232 described with reference to FIG.
In this example, since the taste 232 of the item 20 of “tops” selected in S202 is “casual” (see FIG. 9A), in the combination rule data 25 of the taste 232, as shown in FIG. The item “bottoms” corresponding to the taste 232 combined with the “casual” taste 232 is extracted from the item 20 of the group c with reference to the combination rule in which the item 1 is “casual”.

  Here, referring to the combination rules of rule numbers i and ii shown in the range E of the figure including the “casual” taste 232, “elegant” “feminine” combined with “casual” by at least one of the combination rules The item 20 having the characteristic of any taste 232 of “classic” is extracted. The item group extracted here is set as a group d.

  Next, the control unit 11 determines the number of items 20 of the group d extracted in S211 (S212).

  If the number of items 20 is 1 (S212; “1”), the item 20 is selected as the “bottoms” item 20 to be combined with the “tops” item 20 selected in S202 (S215).

  On the other hand, if the number of items 20 is 0 (S212; “0”), the narrowing-down condition by the taste 232 is removed. That is, one item 20 is randomly extracted from the group c items 20 extracted in S208 before narrowing down (S213), and this is combined with the “tops” item 20 selected in S202. Is selected (S215).

  If the number of items 20 is 2 or more (S212; “2 or more”), the control unit 11 randomly extracts one item 20 from the items 20 of the group d extracted in S211 (S214). The “bottoms” item 20 to be combined with the “tops” item 20 selected in S202 is selected (S215).

  The control unit 11 repeats the processes of S203 to S215 until the item 20 is selected for all the categories 225 of the combination rule selected in S201 (S216; No).

In this embodiment, by this process, the item 20 of “shoes” that is the category 225 next to “tops” and “bottoms” is selected in the combination rule of rule number i selected in S201 (see FIG. 9A). Is done.
If the number of the “shoes” items 20 extracted in S203 is 0 (S204; “0”), the process returns to S201, and the procedure for re-coordinating is started.

  Further, when extracting the item 20 of “shoes”, the combination rule data 25 regarding the size 226 and the silhouette 234 used in S205 is applicable when the three items 20 of “tops”, “bottoms”, and “shoes” are combined. Assume that the combination rule of the size 226 and the silhouette 234 to be determined is the same as in FIG.

In S208, the combination rule data 25 regarding the color 222 is used. In this case, the combination rule including both the colors 222 of the “tops” and “bottoms” item 20 is referred to, and the colors 222 combined with these colors 222 are used. The item 20 of “shoes” corresponding to is extracted.
For example, when the color 222 of the item 20 of “tops” is “monotone” and the color 222 of the item 20 of “bottoms” is “yellow”, the combination of the colors 222 shown in FIG. The rule data 25 that includes both of these colors 222 is a combination rule of rule number iii. Therefore, the item 20 having the characteristic of the “green” color 222 combined with the “yellow” and “monotone” according to the rule is extracted. The same applies to the case where the combination rule data 25 regarding the taste 232 is used in S211.

  In this way, when the item 20 is selected for all the categories 225 (S216; Yes), a coordinate that is a combination of the selected items 20 is generated as the coordinate data 41, and the coordinate generation process of S103 is terminated.

  An example of the coordinate data 41 is shown in FIG. The coordinate data 41 is recorded in association with the item ID 211 of the item 20 selected in S202 or S215 during the process of FIG. In S <b> 104, based on the coordinate data 41, a coordinate display screen displaying the image 241 of the item 20 of each ID as a coordinate is created and transmitted to the user terminal 3.

  FIG. 14 is an example of the coordinate display screen 50. In the figure, an image 241 of each item 20 selected as a coordinate is displayed, and clicking on this image 241 shifts to a detailed screen (not shown) that displays the item specifications 22 and the like of the corresponding item 20. It has become. However, the coordinate display screen 50 is not limited to this.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, based on the combination rule data 25 that defines combinations that match the characteristics of the item 20 such as the color 222, the category 225, the size 226, the taste 232, the silhouette 234, and the like, Since the item 20 to be combined with the item 20 is extracted to generate a coordinate, the item 20 that matches the item 20 to be coordinated is automatically extracted, and an appropriate coordinate can be generated with a simple operation.

Further, since the user selects the item 20 as a candidate for coordination only by selecting the characteristic of the item 20 on the input screen 30, the coordination according to the user's desire can be easily generated.
Furthermore, since the item 20 combined with the item 20 to be coordinated is extracted in a plurality of stages using a plurality of combination rule data 25, a plurality of characteristics of the item 20 can be reflected, and more appropriate coordination can be performed. In addition, when the number of extracted items 20 becomes 0, the item 20 to be combined is selected from the items 20 extracted in the previous stage, so that appropriate coordination can be performed also in this case.

  Further, in the present embodiment, by the processing of S201 and S202, the item 20 to be coordinated can be automatically selected from the items 20 corresponding to the first category 225 of the combination rule of the category 225. There is no need to select a coordination target. In addition, from the items 20 corresponding to the next category 225, the items 20 to be combined with the coordinate target can be appropriately selected by the processing after S203.

  However, not limited to the above, in S202, the item 20 to be coordinated can be selected from the items 20 corresponding to the arbitrary category 225 in the combination rule of the category 225. The item 20 to be combined with this may be selected from the items 20 corresponding to another category 225 by the processing after S203.

Thus, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be considered. For example, in the above embodiment, the combination rule data 25 related to the category 225 is first referred to in S201 to S203, and the selection of the item 20 to be coordinated and the extraction of the item 20 combined therewith are performed. The combination rule data 25 regarding other characteristics may be referred to without being limited thereto. In this case, the same procedure can be performed.
However, in the above-described embodiment, since a coordinate with a suitable combination of at least the category 225 of the item 20 is generated, an inconvenient coordinate is not generated.

  Furthermore, in the processing after S205, the items 20 are narrowed down in the order of size 226, silhouette 234, color 222, and taste 232, but the order may be different. Further, it may be narrowed down by another characteristic.

Further, as the item 20 of the item data 21, various items such as a registered item 20 owned by the user and an item 20 registered on an Internet shopping site can be considered depending on the operation purpose. For example, in the former case, the user's daily coordination can be automatically determined by this system, and in the latter case, the item 20 can be proposed to the user in the form of coordination.
Further, when both items 20 are registered, for example, in a shopping site, it is possible to propose to the user a coordinate that combines the item 20 owned by the user and the item 20 to be sold. To help.

  The user may select the item 20 to be coordinated. In this case, when selecting the item 20 to be combined with the item 20 to be coordinated, for example, the control unit 11 selects a combination rule including the category 225 of the item 20 selected by the user from the combination rule data 25 of the category 225. Thereafter, an item 20 corresponding to another category 225 in the rule may be selected by the processing of S203 and subsequent steps.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the combination rules of the three categories 225 are selected in S201, and accordingly, the combination rules of the three colors 222 or the taste 232 are referred to in S208 and S211. . On the other hand, when a combination rule of two categories 225 is selected in S201, for example, rule number ii in FIG. 9A, a corresponding number, for example, two colors, is selected in S208 or S211. The combination rule of 222 or taste 232 may be referred to.

  In addition, in the above embodiment, when extracting the item 20 of the third “shoes”, the characteristics of both the “tops” and “bottoms” items 20 are included for the color 222 and the taste 232 in S208 and S211. Although it was referred to the combination rule, it is not limited to this. For example, when the item 20 of “shoes” is extracted, as in the case of extracting the item 20 of “bottoms” described above, the combination rule including the characteristics of the item 20 of “tops” is referred to. Items 20 with matching characteristics may be extracted.

  Referring to FIG. 15, a case where the item 20 is extracted using the combination rule data 25 of the taste 232 in S211 will be described as an example. The item 20 of “shoes” is also extracted when the item 20 of “bottoms” is extracted. In the case of performing extraction, the combination rule in which any one item is the taste 232 of the item 20 of “tops” is referred to. If this taste 232 is “casual”, the combination rule of the rule numbers i and ii indicated by the range F in the figure corresponds to that, so that “comfort” can be combined with “casual” by either combination rule. The item 20 having any of the characteristics is extracted whether it is the “bottoms” item 20 or the “shoes” item 20. As shown in the figure, in this example, even when three items 20 are combined, a combination rule of two characteristics can be referred to.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the user terminal 3 accesses the fashion coordination production | generation apparatus 1 via the network 7, and produces | generates coordination, it is stored in the memory | storage part 32 of the user terminal 3 by FIG.6, FIG.8 etc. You may hold | maintain the application program for performing the process demonstrated, the item data 21, the combination rule data 25 grade | etc.,. In this case, the user terminal 3 itself can function as a fashion coordination generation device, and there is no need for communication via the network 7, which has the advantage of speeding up the processing. On the other hand, when the fashion coordination generation apparatus 1 performs the coordination generation process as in the above-described embodiment, there is an advantage that a larger amount of items 20 can be handled.
