(Korean Patent Application No. 2000-0028486)

However, in the prior art, there is no provision of a system capable of coordinating in advance to systematically manage clothes purchased by a consumer or to select desired clothes after apparel purchase.

At present, when a buyer purchases clothes, a classification standard for management is not separately defined, but is simply divided and stored and worn according to seasons, users, sizes of wardrobes, and the like.

The prior art has the following problems in the care and wearing stage after purchasing the garment.

First, it is difficult to know the contents of the kind of clothing purchased by the consumer and the elapsed period from the point of purchase, because only the convenience of storage is prioritized on a simple basis in the management stage.

Second, in the wearing phase, in order to select clothes suitable for the nature of the event to attend, the weather, and so on, one has to wear the wardrobe by hand, which is a great inconvenience for consumers.

Third, the best choice is difficult because clothes should be selected in a state in which the type and number of clothes that can be worn by the wardrobe are not confirmed.

Fourth, even when trying to wear selected clothes, it is difficult to make coordination from an objective point of view because oneself checks through a mirror or the like.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the present invention provides a coordination system and method using a network TV that stores user information and clothing information in a web server and enables coordinate simulation using the same. The purpose is to provide.

Coordinate system using a network TV according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a user system for inputting the coordination conditions by the selection of a menu displayed on the screen and displays the simulation results accordingly; An information input device for inputting information required for a simulation; A web server for maintaining an online connection with the user system and to store the information required for the coordination simulation, Coordinates the clothes selected in the user's image according to the input coordination conditions And display the result on the screen of the user system.

In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for coordinating a network TV, the method comprising: executing a clothing coordination menu in a control of a clothing coordination simulation using DB information built in a web server; selecting a clothing user and extracting a clothing list to coordinate Inputting information; displaying a simulation result of coordinating clothes selected from the clothing list extracted by the inputted information to a user's image; and storing the coordinate information on the web server if the user's approval is obtained. Characterized in that.

The present invention allows the coordination simulation to be implemented on the screen in consideration of various conditions in the post-purchase wearing stage using a network TV.

To this end, an information input device capable of inputting clothing information (size, color, shape, material, purchase time, etc.) to a user system to which a network TV is connected is provided.

Here, the information input device is used a bar code reader, a scanner, a keyboard, a mouse and the like that can read the product code of the clothing.

Seasonal information, weather information, family information, clothing information, shoes information, etc. are displayed on the main screen and sub-screen on the network TV screen during the coordination simulation, and the user selects the clothes by considering various conditions.

The overall configuration is a user system having a video communication device including a network TV 102 for entering clothing coordination conditions or displaying simulation results according to the input conditions by selecting an on-screen menu, as shown in FIG. Clothing user information DB for storing the information input device 103 for inputting family information (clothing user) or clothing information using the system, and for storing and storing the clothing user information input using the information input device 103 And a web server 101 having a garment information DB 105 for storing the garment information input by using the 104 and the information input device 103 into a DB.

Here, the user system and the web server are configured to be able to display a search result (including clothing coordination simulation) of the information input through the information input device in a state of being connected online via a network on a screen.

And when the system is applied to the family unit, the clothing user information DB 104 is gender, age, name, photo (or image information of the character, etc., image), favorite color, dislike color, height, weight, face Information such as color is input by the information input device 103 and constructed.

The clothing user information DB may be changed and added at any time in addition to the initial input.

The garment information DB 105 may include inputting a garment using a barcode attached to the garment in the form of a tag or a care label.

The clothing barcode includes information such as the type of clothing, color, producer, year of production, and the like.

Other clothing information For example, information such as purchase price, purchase date, price, clothing user, and the like may be additionally input by the user.

In addition to such clothing information, shoe information for selecting shoes suitable for clothing is stored and used in the same manner.

The clothing coordinate simulation in the coordination system using the network TV according to the present invention will be described as follows.

2 is a menu configuration diagram on a screen for implementing a coordinate simulation.

3A and 3B are diagrams illustrating an example of a virtual clothing box storage list, and FIGS. 4A and 4B are diagrams showing an example of a storage list of a virtual shoe rack.

According to the present invention, clothing information and clothing user information stored in a web server can be used to coordinate clothing according to a situation and taste in a family unit or an extended entity.

The following description will mainly be based on the family unit.

In the coordination simulation, a menu on the TV screen is selected. The menu on the main screen and the menu on the sub screen are selected as shown in FIG. 2.

For example, the menu displayed on the main screen includes "Seasonal Information Selection" for selecting Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, "Family Information Selection" for selecting Gender, Age, Name, Key, and Weight, and Clothing Type. And "clothing information selection" from which the clothing size can be selected.

Here, the menu displayed on the sub-screen includes "weather information", "temperature information" for selecting daily maximum temperature and minimum temperature, and "shoes information" for selecting color and size of shoes.

When such a selection is made, a virtual clothing storage list corresponding to the selected condition is displayed in the clothing information DB stored in the web server.

For example, the clothing user information DB is used to display a clothing list focusing on a favorite color by excluding clothing of a color that the clothing user dislikes from the list.

The selection criteria of the virtual list to be displayed is determined in consideration of the season, temperature, clothing type, and the like.

The virtual clothing storage list may be categorized as shown in FIG. 3A or FIG. 3B. FIG. 3A is divided by clothing users, and FIG. 3B is not a clothing user. will be.

Of course, such a list form can be classified and displayed according to other criteria.

In this way, when the user selects a specific garment from the virtual clothing list and selects a specific shoe using the virtual shoe storage list as shown in FIG. 4A or 4B displayed in the same manner, the clothing user information DB is displayed on the screen. Coordinate simulation of selected clothing is implemented by using pictures or image characters imported from.

When the user determines the selection of the corresponding clothes based on the simulation result displayed on the screen, it is determined that the user wears the corresponding clothes, and the corresponding information is updated in the clothing information DB.

That is, the virtual storage list includes the number of uses, and the number of uses is automatically updated when the user makes a selection decision based on the simulation result.

Here, in addition to the number of times of use, the date and time of use may be included in the update contents.

Such a clothing coordinate simulation system according to the present invention is not a family unit, it can be used in companies that manage fashion shows, broadcasting stations, movie companies, broadcast program outsourcing companies, CF production company and the like.

In this case, the information of the cast is made into a DB and stored on a web server, and the clothes according to the situation can be selected after actual clothes are coordinated before shooting, and the clothes before the purchase are not purchased. It is also possible to purchase if necessary after coordinating with using.

The coordination method using the network TV according to the present invention will be described in detail as follows.
