In this way, by assigning the item number to the item registered by each user, it is possible to notify the user of the coordination result by using, for example, e-mail using the item number without using image data. .

In this way, the user terminal device 3 receives the digital input of the photograph of the user and the photograph of the accessory (item), and thereafter transmits a registration request together with these data to the central device 1 (step S33). When receiving the registration request (step S104), central device 1 registers the received data in user information DB 11 (step S112), and stores the user ID in user terminal device 3.
(Step S111).

When the user selects to register the photograph of the user and / or the clothing items owned by the user, the user can take a picture with a digital camera attached to a personal computer as the user terminal device 3. It is also possible to take a picture with a digital camera independent of the personal computer and load it on the personal computer. It is also possible to take a picture with a silver halide film and convert it into digital data with a film scanner, or to print a print with a flatbed scanner. Further, it is also possible to have a digital recording medium converted into digital data in a photo shop and to load the digital data into the user terminal device 3 which is a personal computer.

It is not necessary to register all of the clothing items owned by the user at the time of new registration.
In addition, since there is a case where a new purchase is made after new registration, it goes without saying that additional registration can be made at any time after new registration. This processing is enabled by clicking the (3) Add / Change Item button on the display screen shown in FIG. It is needless to say that the user's own photograph can also be updated and registered, for example, when the hairstyle or hair color is changed, or when the body shape is greatly changed. This processing can be performed by clicking the (2) user information change button on the display screen shown in FIG.

As described above, in either case of temporary registration or formal registration, the user ID is transmitted from the central device 1 to the user terminal device 3 and displayed on the display 31, and the registration (temporary registration) process is performed. finish.

It is, of course, possible to manually perform all of the above-mentioned registration of user information. The user himself sends all the information in a document, and the operating entity and the agency register the information. Of course, it is also possible for the user himself to go to the permission of the operating entity or the agent to have all the information registered on his behalf.

Registration of stylist information (step S2,
In step S41), a request may be made to a famous stylist, an unknown stylist may be recruited, or a student of a technical school may be used. It is possible to register via the Internet or via paper. Hereinafter, a case where stylist information is registered via a computer network will be described.

Note that stylist information registration differs from user information registration in that the Internet is not used when the system of the present invention is operated independently by an apparel maker, a technical school, or the like and does not use an external stylist. In some cases, only the intranet within the organization may be used.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the central device 1 when registering the stylist information. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of the display screen of the display 41 of the stylist terminal device 4.

First, the stylist who wishes to register operates the stylist terminal device 4 to connect to the homepage (WEB site) of the operating entity on the central device 1 via the Internet (computer network) IN, as shown in FIG. After the displayed screen is displayed, by clicking the (6) New stylist registration button, the request for new registration is transmitted to the central device 1, and the screen shown in FIG. 11 is displayed.

When central apparatus 1 receives a request for new registration of a stylist (YES in step S201), it transmits a new registration form for a stylist (step S203). If the received request is not a request for new registration of a stylist, central device 1 performs another process (step S202).

When receiving the new registration form for the stylist, the stylist terminal device 4 displays the new registration form on the screen of the display 41 and accepts input of stylist information (step S42). The new registration form for the stylist includes the stylist's identity, that is, name, address, occupation (if the stylist is not a professional), stylist's employment history, gender, and fashion policy (category as stylist).
Etc. are registered. If the user does not want to know the name, it is also possible to use a handle name separately. In addition, the categories in FIG. 11 are, for example, "young lady", "OL", "boyish", "club" similar to the new registration form for the user.
A button for designating a representative style such as the above is provided. However, it is possible to select various styles other than those described above by clicking the "other" button, and the style is prepared in advance. It is also possible to specify a missing style by character input. Note that, in addition to the information that can be input as the character information, a photograph of the stylist itself may be registered.

The stylist terminal device 4 receives the input of the stylist information, and thereafter transmits a registration request together with the data (step S43). When receiving the stylist registration request (step S204), the central device 1 registers the received data (stylist information) in the stylist information DB 12 (step S205) and transmits the stylist ID to the stylist terminal device 4 (step S204). S206).

When the stylist registration process in the central device 1 is completed as described above, the stylist ID is transmitted from the central device 1 to the stylist terminal device 4.
The stylist terminal device 4 receives this stylist ID, displays it on the display 41, and ends the registration process.

It is of course possible to manually register all of the stylist information as described above. The stylist itself sends all information in a document, and the stylist itself registers the information by the operating entity or agency. Of course, it is also possible for the stylist itself to go to the operator or agency to have all the information registered on behalf of the stylist. When the stylist information is changed, the stylist information can be changed by clicking the stylist information change button (7) shown in FIG.

Next, reception of a coordination request (steps S3 and S34) will be described. 12 and 13
Is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the central device 1 at that time, and FIG.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a display screen of No. 1;

After the displayed screen is displayed, by clicking the (4) coordination request button, a request to request a coordination request is transmitted to the central device 1,
The screen shown in FIG. 14 is displayed. In this case, it is needless to say that an ID or the like needs to be input to the user terminal device 3.

When central apparatus 1 receives a request for a coordination request from the user (YE in step S301)
S), the coordination request form is transmitted (step S303). If the received request is not a request for a coordination request from the user, central device 1 performs another process (step S302).

Upon receiving the coordination request form, the user terminal device 3 displays it on the display 31 as shown in FIG. 14, and accepts registration of request information. In the example of the coordination request form, it is possible to select a coordination course by the user by the expert system 17, an entrusting course in which the user does not specify a stylist, or a nomination course in which the user himself specifies a stylist.

When the user selects the entrusted course,
A predetermined signal is transmitted from the user terminal device 3 to the central device 1, and the central device 1 collates the user information registered in the user information DB 11 with the stylist information registered in the stylist information DB 12, and recommends a stylist. Is created and transmitted to the user terminal device 3 (steps S304 and S305).

FIG. 14 shows that "Hanako-san" has been recommended when the user selects the Omakase Course. Here, if the user clicks the "Agree" button, central device 1 determines a stylist (YES in step S306). If the user does not agree with the recommended stylist, that is, if the user clicks the “other person” button (NO in step S306), central device 1 transmits the stylist recommendation list to user terminal device 3 again.

When the user selects the nomination course, it becomes possible to select the nomination condition as shown in FIG. Here, when the user selects one of the nomination conditions, a predetermined list request signal corresponding to the selected condition is transmitted to the central device 1. Central device 1 responds to this list request signal (YE in step S307).
S), and transmits the requested list to the user terminal device 3 (Step S308). FIG. 14 shows, as an example, a list of “young lady” stylists transmitted from central device 1 when the user selects the category-specific conditions.

When the user selects any stylist in this state, the coordination condition is input next. As shown in FIG. 14, the coordination conditions include a period (1 day from M / D, 1 week, 1 month, etc.), usage (commuting, commuting, etc.), brand (not specified, specified,
If specified, the user can set the brand name, etc.) and add items (whether a new item can be purchased or rented, etc.). Also, as shown in FIG. 14, an event can be designated as a coordination condition. This is prepared for requesting coordination in an extraordinary case such as, for example, an entrance ceremony, a graduation ceremony, etc. of oneself or a child. When specifying this event, it is also possible to specify one day as the coordination request period.

When the coordination condition is input as described above, the input information is transmitted from the user terminal device 3 (step S33), and the central device 1 receives it (YES in step S309) and sets the request condition. Is registered in the user information DB 11 in association with the user information (step S311), and the request No. is transmitted to the user terminal device 3 (step S311). Request No. in the user terminal device 3
Is received and displayed on the display 31.

It is also possible for the user to recruit a new stylist. That is, as shown in FIG. 14, when the user clicks the button of “Recruit stylist”, a predetermined signal is transmitted to central device 1. In this case (YES in step S321), central device 1 performs processing such as transmitting a stylist recruitment form separately (step S322).

FIG. 15 shows a coordinate process (step S).
4 is a flowchart showing a procedure of 4), in which coordination processing by the expert system 17 is performed.

First, the expert system 17 selects one request from the coordination request list registered in the user information DB 11 (step S401). The selection criteria at this time are, for example, FIFO (First In First
Out), the earliest first coordinated period (for example, when an event is specified), and the like.

Next, the expert system 17 reads the request conditions and the user information of the user who made the request from the user information DB 11 (steps S402 and S40).
3). Here, the expert system 17 determines whether an item can be added in the request condition (step S404),
When an item can be added (Y in step S404)
ES), product information is read from the product information DB 15 (step S405). In addition, when the product information is registered in the product information DB 15, by classifying each product by category and by event correspondence, it becomes easy to read the product information by the expert system 17 in step S405.

Next, the expert system 17 reads the time information (step S406). The time information required here is month and day in order to coordinate in consideration of the season, and can be obtained from the basic system of the central device 1. Based on the above information, the expert system 17 starts the coordination processing (step S407), and uses the result as coordination information as coordination information D.
Registered in B14 (step S408).

In the above-described example, the case where the coordination process is performed by the expert system 17 has been described. However, the basic procedure is the same when a human stylist performs the coordination process. However, when the stylist performs coordination processing, the stylist operates his / her own stylist terminal device 4, connects to the central device 1, displays the screen shown in FIG. 6, and receives the coordination request of (8). The request list is displayed by clicking (Step S4

The coordination is performed, and the result is input as shown in FIG. 16B (step S46) and transmitted to the central device 1 (step S47).

In this case, if a new item can be added, the product information is displayed in a thumbnail format from the product information DB 15 in consideration of request conditions, seasons, and the like. FIG. 16B shows items that can be newly purchased or rented, other than the items registered by the user, as patterns that meet the conditions.

In the actual coordination process, the same result is not always obtained from the result by the expert system 17 and the result by the stylist. Therefore, when the stylist performs the coordination processing, the result can be returned to the expert system 17 and accumulated in the knowledge base.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the central device 1 when presenting the coordination result to the user (steps S5 and S36). FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram of the display screen of the display 31 of the user terminal device 3 in the same manner. is there.
