DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair style simulation system used when changing a hair style, for example.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, when trying to change a hair style, a desired hair style is often determined by drawing various images in a head or looking at a magazine or catalog. When the desired hair style is determined in this way, the hair style is notified to the hairdresser, and at that time, the hairdresser's advice is received. However, no matter how much you tell your hairdresser your desired hairstyle,
There are many things that cannot be conveyed well. Also, even if it is transmitted, if you actually change the hair style,
Often it's different from what you've imagined, and it doesn't look as good as you think.

In consideration of the above, a simulation system that changes the hair style only by projecting the face of the person on a display and putting a wig on the face is already known. In other words, the conventionally known simulation system stylizes various hair styles and simply matches the stylized hair styles to the person projected on the display.

[0004]

In the conventional system as described above, in the standardized hair style,
There is no problem if you like something. However, if you do not like them, you will not be able to perform simulations at all. Also, I could not cope with stylized hairstyles that I liked even if I wanted to modify them a little. Under these circumstances, the conventional simulation system was not always satisfactory as a means for finding a hair style that one really liked.

An object of the present invention is to provide a hair style simulation system that can freely fine-tune a standardized hair style.

[0011]

1 to 5 show a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows an overall outline, in which a terminal 1 and a server 2 are connected via a communication means 3. The server 2 includes a processing unit 4, a hair style storage unit 5, a table storage unit 6 for storing a table for inputting a hair style desired by the user, and a user storage unit 7.

The hairstyle storage means 5 includes a plurality of hairstyle sample storage sections 8, a plurality of montage sample storage sections 9 for correcting a part of the hairstyle sample storage section 8, and the hairstyle sample storage section. 8 stores a characteristic data storage unit 10 and an advice data storage unit 11.

Each of the hairstyle sample storage units 8 stores a large number of representative patterns of hairstyles. The hairstyle sample storage unit 8 stores a matrix table shown in FIG. 12 are provided. The matrix table 12 shows the strength of the perm in the column direction and the amount of hair clearance in the row direction. In FIG. 2, the hair style has a higher perm strength as it goes to the right, and a hair style in which the amount of hair clearance increases as it goes to the lower side.

When the representative hair style S is centered, a typical example of the deformed style obtained by deforming the hair style S is displayed at the four corners of the matrix table 12. For example, in FIG. 2, the following deformation styles are displayed at the four corner frames. Upper left corner: Hair style with the weakest perm and least clearance Top right corner: Hair style with the strongest perm and least clearance More lower left corner: Hair style with the weakest perm and most clearance The strongest and most pleasing hairstyle

The representative hair styles S displayed in the matrix table 12 can be continuously changed using, for example, a morphing technique. In other words, in FIG. 2, if the position gradually shifts from the upper left corner to the upper right corner, the clearance amount is the same, but the strength of the permanent changes continuously. Also, if you move from the upper left corner to the lower left corner,
The strength of the perm is the same, but the amount of plow gradually increases. In any case, by moving the coordinates of the matrix table 12, a deformation style corresponding to the coordinates is displayed.

The montage sample storage section 9 stores, for example, a large number of montage samples 16 of the bangs as shown in FIG. FIG. 5 (a) is a style in which all the bangs are raised, FIG. 5 (b) is a style in which the bangs are divided horizontally and naturally lowered, and FIG. Style
FIG. 5D shows the style divided in the middle.

The montage sample 16 can be set for each part of the hair style. For example,
A montage sample at the tip of the hair or a montage sample at the side can be considered. The montage sample 16 is used when, for example, a desired hair style is specified to some extent in the matrix table 12, and it is desired to change a part of the bangs or the like.

The characteristic data storage unit 10 stores the hair style characteristics stored in the hair style sample storage unit 8. This characteristic data includes, for example, data for specifying a hair style such as hair length, presence or absence of perm, type of perm, type of cut, and data such as a face type and a hair quality to which the hair style matches. There is. By matching the characteristic data with the characteristics of the desired hair style input to the table 13 by the user, the user can search for the desired hair style. The table 13 will be described later in detail.

The advice data storage unit 11 stores advice data for realizing a hair style as shown in FIG. 4 for each hair style sample. For example, once the desired hairstyle sample is determined, the cutting method, perming method, styling method, etc. for realizing it. When the hair style sample desired by the user is selected, the advice data is displayed as character information together with the hair style sample.

In addition, the table storage means 6 stores FIG.
Table 13 as shown in FIG. The table 13 has a column for inputting the user's request for the hair style and a column for inputting the current condition such as his / her hair quality and face type. In the field to enter the user's request above,
The length of the hair, the condition of the bangs, the parting line, the presence or absence of a perm, the type of the perm, the method of blowing, the method of cutting, etc. are input. In addition, in the field for inputting the user's current state, the amount, hair quality, and thickness of the hair as well as the hair quality and face type are input. Then, these input data are used as basic data of the hair style desired by the user,
A hairstyle sample having characteristic data matching this basic data is provided to the user.

The user storage means 7 has an attribute data storage section 14 for storing attribute data such as a user's name and age, and a photograph data storage section 15 for storing a photograph of the user's head as three-dimensional photograph data. And The photograph data 15 is used to allow the user to match the hairstyle sample to his / her own photograph when displaying the hairstyle sample on the display.

In such a hair style simulation system, a user can simulate various hair styles while synthesizing various hair style sample storage units 8 with a photograph of his / her own head and modifying it. . Details of this system will be described below.

The user accesses the server 2 from the terminal 1 via the communication means 3. And this user
While inputting personal attribute data such as name, gender, age, etc., the user inputs three-dimensional photograph data to the server 2. When the user attribute data and the photograph data are input, the processing unit 4 stores the data in the attribute data storage unit 14 and the photograph data storage unit 15 of the user storage unit 7, respectively.

After storing the data of the user in the user storage means 7, the processing section 4 extracts a table 13 for determining the condition of the hair style to be displayed from the table storage means 6, and stores it in the display of the terminal 1. To be displayed. Then, the user operates the table 13 shown in FIG.
Then, for example, click the length as "Semi-long", raise the bangs as "up", set the perm as "whole" for "whole", and click the blow as "non-blow", and select the condition of the hair style.

Further, among the items presented as the above conditions, there is no particular attention, and nothing is clicked on the items which do not need to be set as the conditions. For example, in this case, it is assumed that nothing is clicked on the division and the cutting method. In addition, the user selects “normal” for the amount, “normal” for the hair, “thick” for the thickness, and “face length” for the face as his / her current data.

When the user inputs the conditions as described above and transmits them to the server 2, the processing unit 4 executes the characteristic data storage unit 10 stored in the hair style storage unit 5.
Is determined whether there is a hairstyle sample having the characteristic data storage unit 10 that matches the conditions entered in the table. That is, a hairstyle sample having a characteristic data storage unit 10 whose length is “semi-long”, bangs are “raised”, perm is “whole” and “blow” is “non-blow” is searched from the hairstyle sample storage unit 8. I do. At the same time, with regard to the current data, search for hair styles that are "normal" in quantity and hair quality and can be used even by "thick" people, and have characteristic data that suits "face length" people I do.

Then, a hairstyle sample having the characteristic data storage unit 10 that matches the above condition is extracted from the hairstyle sample storage unit 8. At this time, if there is no hairstyle sample that completely matches the above condition, a hairstyle sample with many matching conditions is extracted. Further, the processing unit 4 extracts the user's photograph data from the user storage unit 7. Then, the extracted hair style sample is combined with the user's photograph data, and this is displayed on the display as a composite photograph. It is desirable that a plurality of composite photographs be displayed at this time.

This is because, for example, by displaying a plurality of composite photographs, it is possible to see a number of unusual self, and to discover and enjoy a new self. Also, when a plurality of composite photos are displayed, one can compare oneself with various hair styles. By comparing in this way, it is possible to determine which hair style suits one's own image.

Further, in the above-mentioned table 13, no condition is selected for the divisions, but for the items for which this condition is not selected, all the divisions are to be extracted. That is, the other selected conditions only need to be met and the break is not sieved. Therefore, as a matter of course, more hairstyle samples are extracted when no division is selected than when a division is selected. As described above, when it is desired to view more hairstyle samples, the conditions to be input to the table 13 may be reduced.

As described above, the user can click the most favorite one of the displayed composite photos. Like this, click on one,
A selection signal of the composite photograph is transmitted to the server 2. When the server 2 receives the selection signal, the processing unit 4 causes the selected composite photograph to be displayed in a three-dimensional manner when viewed from the front, from the side, or from behind. I have. As described above, the selected hairstyle sample and the face of the person are synthesized and displayed in three dimensions, so that it is possible to easily determine whether or not this hairstyle suits oneself.

Further, the processing unit 4 extracts the advice data relating to the hairstyle sample used in the selected synthetic photograph from the advice data storage unit 11 and displays the advice in characters on the display.
As the advice, as shown in FIG. 4, the shape of the face that matches this hair style, the point when cutting, and the styling method are described. For example, with regard to the face type, advice such as "This hair style is recommended for people with a long face. It is better to cut the round face person so that the chin line is aligned." A suggestion is given, "You should put a layer from a slightly higher position on the entire head and use a lot of slide cuts to adjust the hair volume."

For some hair styles, it is difficult to know how to cut the hair to achieve the style. You may also want to know what styling agents can be used to maintain that style. In this embodiment, since advice such as a cutting method and a styling method is displayed, when the hair style is actually changed, the hair style almost the same as that of the display can be realized.

As described above, if the user likes the hairstyle sample displayed on the display, the user ends the system. However, since the displayed composite photograph uses a representative hairstyle sample, there may be cases where there is no favorite among them. For example, in a typical hairstyle sample as described above, you may find that a perm that is slightly better than the image overall is better. As described above, when the representative hairstyle sample is desired to be deformed, this can be realized. That is, according to the procedure described above, an image that is the closest to the image, such as an image like this, is selected from representative hairstyle samples. Then, a matrix display signal of the hairstyle sample used for the selected composite photograph is output to the server 2.

As described above, when the matrix display signal is output for the hairstyle sample, the processing unit 4 selects the matrix table 12 including the hairstyle sample, and displays the matrix table 12 on the display of the terminal 1. In the displayed matrix table,
As shown in FIG. 2, the selected hair style sample S is displayed at the center, and a typical deformation style is displayed at the four corners.

The matrix table 12 shows the strength of the permanent in the row direction and the hair clearance in the column direction.
In FIG. 2, the perm is the weakest on the left, and becomes strong as it shifts to the right. The strength of the perm is determined by the number of rods in the perm, and the stronger the perm, the more the hair is wound with a thinner rod. The amount of hair clearance is determined by how much the entire hair is removed. FIG.
In the figure, the amount of clearance increases as the position moves down the vertical axis. In other words, the amount of hair becomes thinner as it goes down, and the hair style has a reduced volume of the entire head.

As described above, by creating the matrix table 12 based on the strength of the perm and the amount of clearance, a hairstyle sample closer to the image of the user can be provided from the matrix table 12. This is because the image of a hairstyle is often determined by the strength of the perm and the volume of the entire head that cannot be conveyed in words.

When the above matrix table 12 is displayed, the user compares the selected hair style sample S with the deformation styles displayed at the four corners. Then, for example, when it is determined that the hair sample S is stronger than the selected hair sample S and has a smaller volume, the hair sample S is moved to the upper right. When the user moves the hair sample S on the matrix table 12, the coordinates of the destination are input to the server 2 as a coordinate designation signal. When the coordinate designation signal is input to the server 2, the processing unit 4 specifies the moved coordinates, and creates a hair style at the position designated by the coordinates by a morphing technique. That is, the selected hair sample S located at the center is deformed. After the hair style at the position specified by the coordinates is created by the morphing technique, the hair style is displayed on the display.

As described above, the hair sample S can be moved on the matrix table 12 many times until the desired sample is displayed, and the hair sample S can be deformed. In the matrix table 12 shown in the first embodiment, a hair style desired by the user can be created by the morphing technique. Furthermore, since it is not a one-dimensional morphing such as only the strength of the perm or only the amount of hair clearance, but a two-dimensional morphing that combines them, only the left, right, top and bottom of the reference hair sample S You can create hairstyles that are not diagonally positioned.

As described above, the hair style can be created two-dimensionally, so that a deformed style having a slightly different nuance from the hair sample S can be displayed. For example, the overall perm feels good,
It can meet the needs of subtle differences that users want, such as wanting a little more volume. Therefore, the user can find a hair style more suited to his / her wish than a standard hair sample alone can obtain.

Further, a part of the hair sample deformed in the matrix table can be corrected. That is, the user can montage this deformed hairstyle sample. Here, a montage of bangs as shown in FIG. 5 is used as the montage sample 16 for performing the montage. FIG.
(A) is the one with all the bangs raised, FIG. 5 (b) is a horizontal one, FIG. 5 (c) is one with the front hair lowered and trimmed, and FIG. 5 (d) is one with the middle part .

By providing the bangs as the montage sample 16 in this manner, a hair style that is much closer to the image of the user can be provided.
This is because the difference in the bangs affects the image of the entire face of a human face as compared with other parts. The above user sends a montage sample request signal to server 2
, The processing unit 4 extracts a plurality of montage samples 16 corresponding to the displayed hairstyle samples from the montage sample storage unit 9 and displays them on the display. That is, the montage sample 16 shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D is displayed on the display.

As described above, when a plurality of montage samples 16 are displayed on the display, the user selects a favorite montage sample from these.
When the montage sample 16 is selected, the processing unit 4
Extracts the selected montage sample 16 from the montage storage unit 9. Then, the montage sample 16 is matched with the deformed style obtained by deforming the representative hair style sample. That is, the hair style sample is montaged and displayed on a display. A montage sample may be stored in the storage unit in advance as the montage hairstyle sample.

Therefore, the user can see the hair style after the montage only by selecting the displayed montage sample storage section 9. In this way, the user can change the bangs many times by the montage, and can further obtain a hairstyle close to the hairstyle imagined, or a hairstyle that suits him / her.

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The matrix table 17 is provided with typical deformation styles of the coma at the four corners, and the portions other than the four corners are also divided into the coma. Each of the frames is provided with a deformation style. Components and operations other than this feature are the same as those of the first embodiment. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

In this second embodiment, the user enters desired hair style data in the table 13 and the processing unit 4 extracts a hair style sample corresponding to the data from the hair style sample storage unit 8. Is displayed on the display. Furthermore, if none of the displayed hairstyle samples matches the hairstyle that was imagined, the user selects the hairstyle sample that is closest to the image and requests a matrix table request signal for this hairstyle sample. Enter The processing unit 4 extracts the matrix table 17 of the hair style sample from the hair style storage unit 5. The procedure so far is the same as in the first embodiment.

In the matrix table 17, as shown in FIG. 6, the selected hairstyle sample S is displayed at the center thereof, and the entire surface of the table is divided into a plurality of frames. The transformation style is displayed on each of the plurality of frames. Further, the four corners of the matrix table 17 have typical deformation styles when the hairstyle sample S is deformed according to the vertical and horizontal axes. In this matrix table 17,
The four corners have the following characteristics as in the first embodiment. Upper left corner: Hair style with the weakest perm and least clearance Top right corner: Hair style with the strongest perm and least clearance More lower left corner: Hair style with the weakest perm and most clearance The strongest and most pleasing hairstyle

The frames other than the four corners have a deformation style intermediate between one corner and the other corner. In other words, when moving from the upper left corner to the lower left corner, there are a plurality of intermediate deformation styles in which the strength of the perm is the same but the clearance increases gradually. Similarly, in all the frames of the matrix table 17, deformation styles having slightly different perm strengths and clearances are arranged so that the deformations are continuously different.

As described above, the transformation style intermediate between the typical transformation styles at the four corners is provided in the matrix table 17 in advance, and by displaying all of them, the user can see the subtle difference between the strength of the perm and the clearance. You can check with. From these subtly different hairstyles, users can find the sample they like best.

However, since the matrix table 17 is divided into a plurality of frames and the deformed style is displayed on these frames, each sample is inevitably small. Therefore, when the most favorite sample is found from the matrix table 17, when the user clicks on it, the sample is displayed in a large size.

As the matrix table 17 displayed on the display, all of the intermediate deformation styles may be displayed on a frame, or may not be displayed. That is, when the intermediate deformation style is not displayed, only the four corner deformation styles and the selected representative hair style sample S are displayed in the matrix table.

As described above, when the intermediate deforming style is not displayed, the user compares the deforming styles at the four corners with the selected hair style sample S, and predicts the intermediate hair style to some extent. . Then, click on the matrix table based on the prediction. As described above, when the user clicks on the matrix table, a coordinate designation signal is input to the server 2. When the coordinate designating signal is input, the processing unit 4 determines the clicked coordinate, extracts a deformation style corresponding to the determined coordinate from the hair style storage unit 5, and displays it on the display. After the deformation style is displayed as described above, the method of montage it is the same as in the first embodiment.

According to the first and second embodiments, the user extracts the sample that best fits his image from the hairstyle sample storage unit 8, and further extracts a matrix table containing the hairstyle sample. , The sample can be deformed and finely adjusted. In addition, this deformed hairstyle sample can be partially corrected with a montage.

Since a typical hairstyle sample can be deformed and modified in this way, unlike a case where a stylized sample is directly synthesized into a face photograph,
You can create your own original hair style that is not in the fixed sample. In addition, by deforming or modifying the representative hairstyle sample as described above, the user can actually display the hairstyle according to the image on the screen. In addition, you can check whether the hair style of this image suits you.

Further, since the user can deform and simulate the hair sample any number of times, the simulation can be repeated until a desired hair style is found. Therefore, it is possible to provide a hair style that exactly matches the user's wishes. Further, by using this simulation system, the user does not actually cut his own hair, so that the user can challenge a bold hair style that cannot be performed in ordinary life. In this way, by simulating a hair style that cannot be normally performed, friends can enjoy this simulation system as if it were a game.

Further, even if a person with long hair wants to make a shortcut, even if he does not challenge such a bold hair style, it is often difficult to make a decision. That's because I'm worried about whether it suits me. In such a case, by using the simulation system of the present invention, it is possible to simulate the shortcut and determine whether to cut the hair. In other words, failures can be eliminated by simulating in advance whether or not the image change is suitable, especially when the image change is used.

In the hairstyle simulation system of the present invention, when a terminal is installed in a beauty salon, this system can be used as counseling for customers. Furthermore, using this system, the hairdresser can surely recognize the hair style desired by the customer, so that the hair style does not differ from the image of the customer.

Further, a terminal may be installed in the beauty salon and a general home, and these may be connected via a server, and the result of the hairstyle simulation may be exchanged with each other. For example, a home user can simulate his or her hair style and send the result to a beauty salon to go.

As described above, by transmitting the simulation result to the beauty salon, it is possible to accurately transmit the image of the user to the hairdresser. Therefore, the hair style desired by the user is not transmitted to the hairdresser, and as a result, the hair style is not desired. Further, in a beauty salon, by confirming a desired hair style in advance, it is possible to examine a technique for realizing the hair style.

In the first and second embodiments, the hair style to be displayed on the matrix table is determined based on the strength of the perm and the amount of hair clearance. However, the hair style of the matrix table is determined. Is not limited to perm strength and hair clearance. For example, when straight hair is desired, the matrix table may be represented by the length of hair and the clearance.
