Description

  The present invention relates to a custom-made glove ordering method and a custom-made glove production system for ordering and production of custom-made gloves.

  Conventionally, the provision of gloves to users is performed in advance using a standard pattern shape, and ready-made products that differ only in size, such as S size, M size, L size, or LL size, are manufactured and provided to the market. Generally, a method of purchasing a product that matches the size of the is used. On the other hand, in the field of sports gloves such as golf or special work gloves, custom-made products that are individually manufactured to match the user's own hand are also provided. Such custom-made products are usually manufactured based on the measured reference dimensions by actually measuring the reference dimensions necessary for glove manufacture from the user's own hands.

  In addition, as an intermediate provision method between the ready-made product and the custom-made product, the user first wears a standard golf glove and transmits correction data for the standard product via a communication network or a delivery department. A method is also proposed in which a search is made for other standard products that match based on the correction data transmitted or transmitted, and if not, a new glove is manufactured and supplied based on the correction data. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

JP 2001-278413 A

  However, in order for a user to order a custom-made glove, it is necessary to measure the user's own hand, so it is necessary to go to a glove store or the like. In other words, there is an inconvenience that it is not possible to place an order for a custom-made product without going to a dealer for measuring. Moreover, even if the measuring position is specified by the producer, there is a variation in the skill level of the measuring person and the accuracy of the measuring is difficult to expect. Further, even in the above-mentioned proposed method, the user himself / herself visits a store, etc., and not only is troublesome such as trying on or giving a correction request based on the subjectivity, but also cannot guarantee accuracy. There is an inconvenience.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances. The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the need to go to a specific place such as a store, and to make an order-made glove easily and accurately by the orderer himself / herself. It is an object of the present invention to provide a custom-made glove ordering method capable of placing an order, and a contractor computer for realizing such a custom-made glove ordering method.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the first invention according to the custom-made glove ordering method, on the side of the orderer, the glove ordering hand is a circular shape having a known diameter smaller than the palm by the imaging device. The shape reference object is imaged in a state where the shape reference object is spread on the palm, and then imaging data about the captured hand image is transmitted to the receiving device of the contractor by the communication device, while the receiving device on the contractor side The hand image received by the above hand image is converted to a straight hand image by correcting the inclination based on the distortion shape of the shape reference object captured in the hand image, and the hand image obtained by the conversion is used for glove production. The required reference dimension value is determined based on the known diameter of the shape reference object (claim 1).

  In the case of this first invention, both the necessity for the orderer to go to a specific place such as a store for ordering the custom-made gloves, and the necessity for obtaining the standard dimension value accompanied by complicated measuring work for ordering are required. In other words, it is possible to place an order for custom-made gloves only by the orderer and by extremely easy work. In other words, the orderer simply orders the image of his / her hand with the imaging device with the above-mentioned shape reference object, and transmits the captured image of the hand image to the receiving device of the contractor through the communication device. The order for gloves is completed. On the other hand, if the contractor corrects the inclination of the hand image and converts it into a right-handed image in order to determine the reference dimension value from the received hand image, it will be compared with the shape reference object on the right-handed image. The reference dimension value can be accurately determined from the known diameter of the shape reference object.

  Note that the above-described tilt correction of the hand image is originally intended when the orderer attempts to capture an image of a glove-ordered hand using the imaging device with the hand facing the imaging device. It is assumed that the image is captured in a state where it is tilted and not orthogonal to the optical axis of the imaging device, and this tilt is to be corrected. By performing this inclination correction, it is possible to determine a more accurate reference dimension value. In addition, the above-mentioned “ordering party” may be not only a producer of custom-made gloves, but also an agent, an agency, a dealer, or the like. These points are the same in the following inventions. Further, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the imaging data received as the work of the contractor side is printed, converted into a virtual hand image based on the dimensional ratio on the printed hand image, and then the reference dimension value is set. Indexing may be performed.

  According to a second aspect of the order-made glove ordering method, the above-mentioned work on the side of the contractor is automatically processed by the contractor computer. That is, in the second invention, on the side of the orderer, a state in which the hand to be ordered for gloves is spread on the palm with a circular shape reference object having a smaller diameter and a known diameter by the imaging device. After the image is picked up, the image data about the picked-up hand image is transmitted to the receiving device of the contractor by the communication device, while the received hand image is captured in the hand image by the order-receiving computer. A conversion process for converting to a straight-hand image by correcting the inclination based on the distortion shape of the object, and a reference dimension value necessary for glove production from the straight-hand image obtained by this conversion process is known for the shape reference object. Each of the processes including the indexing process for indexing based on the diameter of each is executed (claim 2).

  In the case of the second invention, as in the first invention, it is necessary for the orderer to go to a specific place such as a store for ordering custom gloves, and the reference dimensions are accompanied by complicated measuring work for ordering. In addition to eliminating the need to acquire values, it is possible to place orders for custom-made gloves by the orderer alone and with extremely easy work. It is executed by automatic processing. That is, as in the first invention, the orderer takes an image of his / her hand with the imaging device while the shape reference object is placed, and transmits imaging data of the captured hand image to the contractor computer via the communication device. All you need to do is complete your order for custom gloves. On the other hand, on the side of the contractor, the inclination of the hand image is corrected by the conversion process of the contractor computer and converted into a face-to-face image, and the reference dimension value is compared with the shape reference object on the face-to-face image by the indexing process. It is determined from the known diameter of the shape reference.

  In the first or second aspect of the invention, in addition to the imaging data, specification information such as the type and material of the glove may be transmitted together with the orderer.

  For example, a digital camera may be used as the “imaging device” in the first or second invention, and an orderer computer connected to a communication network such as the Internet may be used as the “communication device”. By making the following, ordering can be further facilitated. That is, as the imaging device and the communication device, a camera-equipped mobile phone device having an imaging function and an imaging data transmission function is used. In this case, the “mobile phone device with camera” is a device in which a digital camera function and a communication function are added to a portable information device such as a PDA (registered trademark) in addition to a combination of a mobile phone device and a digital camera. Including any other name. By using such a camera-equipped mobile phone device, it becomes possible for an orderer to place an order for custom-made gloves from any place and at any time, and almost eliminates the obstacles required for ordering procedures for custom-made gloves. It becomes possible.

  Further, by using a circular coin as the “shape reference object” in the first or second invention described above (Claim 4), it is not necessary for the orderer to prepare a special shape reference object. Since it is formed in a perfect circle and its diameter is constant and known, it becomes an excellent shape standard. Currently, 500 yen coins, 100 yen coins, 10 yen coins, 5 yen coins, 1 yen coins, and the like are generally in circulation as circular coins and are usually held by the orderer. As the circular coin, it is preferable to use a coin having a diameter as large as possible such as a 500 yen coin, a 100 yen coin, or a 10 yen coin in terms of accuracy in calculating the reference dimension value.

  In the third invention relating to the contractor computer used in the second invention, a circular shape reference object having a known diameter and smaller than the palm is placed on the palm and spread from the camera-equipped mobile phone device. A transmission / reception unit that receives imaging data of a hand image in which a hand to be ordered for gloves is captured, and an inclination correction according to the degree of distortion of the shape reference object captured in the hand image based on the received imaging data Thus, the reference dimension value required for manufacturing the glove is known by comparing the image conversion processing unit that converts the hand image into a straight hand image and the shape reference object in the converted hand image. And a reference dimension acquisition processing unit that calculates and acquires the diameter based on the diameter of each of them (claim 5).

  In the case of the third invention, it is possible to specifically provide a contractor computer that can automatically calculate a reference dimension value necessary for manufacturing a custom-made glove from imaging data transmitted from an orderer. Thus, the customized ordering method according to the second aspect of the invention can be surely implemented. That is, the imaging data regarding the hand image transmitted from the orderer by the transmitting / receiving unit is received, and the inclination of the hand image captured by the image conversion processing unit is corrected and converted into a directly-facing hand image. A reference dimension value is determined from the directly-facing hand image by the acquisition processing unit.

  When the processing by the image conversion processing unit in the third invention is further embodied, for example, Y extends so as to extend in the direction connecting the center of the wrist of the hand image and the tip of the middle finger on the display screen displaying the hand image. An axis setting process for setting the X axis so as to extend in a direction orthogonal to the Y axis and a diameter dimension of the shape reference object with respect to each direction of the Y axis and the X axis are set. An inclination indexing process for determining the inclination of the hand image with respect to the axis or the X axis, and correcting the inclination determined by the inclination process, thereby converting the hand image into a directly-facing hand image and the display screen. The correction process displayed above may be executed (claim 6). Thus, even if the hand image is captured without being orthogonal to the optical axis of the imaging device, that is, when the hand is not facing the imaging device, the hand image is accurately and reliably facing. It will be converted to a hand image. Thereafter, in the reference dimension acquisition processing unit, for example, the above-mentioned shape reference object with respect to the equivalent dimension ratio on the display screen between the predetermined two points of the front-hand image on the display screen and the diameter of the shape reference object. The dimension between the two points (reference dimension value) is determined by multiplying the known actual diameter value, and this process may be executed for each required reference dimension value.

  As described above, according to the custom-made glove ordering method according to any one of claims 1 to 4, it is necessary for the orderer to visit a specific place such as a store for ordering custom-made gloves, For this reason, it is possible to easily and accurately place an order for a custom-made glove by eliminating the need to acquire a reference dimension value accompanied by a complicated measuring operation. In addition, it is possible to reliably determine the reference dimension value required for ordering gloves from the hand image transmitted from the orderer, and to accurately perform subsequent glove production based on the determined reference dimension value. Become. In other words, the orderer only needs to image the hand of the glove order with the shape reference object placed and send the captured hand image to the contractor, and the contractor can set the inclination of the orderer when imaging. After correcting and converting to a straight-handed image, a reference dimension value necessary for glove production can be reliably obtained from the straight-handed image.

  In particular, according to claim 2, it is possible to easily calculate the reference dimension value from the hand image transmitted from the orderer by automatic processing of the contractor computer. According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the image pickup by the image pickup device and the transmission of the image pickup data by the communication device are performed by the camera-equipped mobile phone device, the orderer orders from any place and at any time. You will be able to place orders for Maid gloves. Furthermore, according to claim 4, since the circular coin is used as the shape reference object, it is possible to eliminate the need for the orderer to prepare a special shape reference object for ordering. Conversion to a straight-hand image and indexing of a reference dimension value can be performed with more certainty on the person side.

  On the other hand, according to the order-receiving computer of claim 5 or claim 6, the processing from the imaging data transmitted from the orderer to the calculation of the reference dimension value necessary for producing the custom-made gloves is performed by automatic processing. For this reason, it is possible to provide an order-receiving computer for the purpose, and it is possible to reliably carry out the order-made ordering method according to claim 2 described above. According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the processing by the image conversion processing unit of the order-receiving computer can be further embodied, and the conversion to the directly-facing hand image can be performed more specifically and reliably.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a system for implementing a custom-made glove ordering method according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a mobile phone device with a camera that also serves as an imaging device and a communication device, 2 a base station, 3 a telephone center, 4 a wired or wireless network, and 5 an orderee computer.

  The camera-equipped mobile phone device 1 is owned by an orderer (customer) P who orders custom-made gloves, and the camera-equipped mobile phone device 1 can wirelessly communicate with the nearest base station 2 at any location. It has become. When the call function is used, the base station 2 and a base station (not shown) nearest to the communication terminal on the other side are communicated via the line network 4, and the base station and the other party are communicated. By performing wireless communication with the communication terminal on the side, a call is performed between the mobile phone with camera 1 and the communication terminal on the other side.

  On the other hand, the camera-equipped mobile phone device 1 is provided with an e-mail transmission / reception function, and image data captured by an accompanying camera is transmitted / received using this e-mail transmission / reception function. For example, when a mail is transmitted from the camera-equipped mobile phone device 1, the mail is stored in the mail server 31 via the telephone center 3 connected to the line network 4, and a communication terminal on the other party is sent from the mail server 31. When the mail is downloaded or the mail server 31 transfers the mail to the communication terminal on the other party, the mail is received by the communication terminal on the other party. Note that mail transmission in the reverse direction is also received by the camera-equipped mobile phone device 1 via the mail server 31 in the same manner as described above.

  The above-described camera-equipped cellular phone device 1 will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 2, the camera-equipped cellular phone device 1 includes an operation unit 11, a display unit 12 formed by an LCD or the like, and wireless transmission / reception including an antenna. 13, a control unit 14, an audio processing circuit 15, a receiver 16, a microphone 17, a camera 18, and a camera drive circuit 19 that operates the camera 18.

The operation unit 11 includes various operation keys and operation buttons. For example, the operation unit 11 includes a numeric keypad for dialing a telephone number, buttons for inputting or setting various information, and various operation buttons that also serve as shutter buttons in the camera mode. ing. The display unit 12 displays various information such as character information and image information, and can display a color image captured by the camera 18. The transmission / reception unit 13 performs wireless transmission / reception with the base station 2. The control unit 14 includes a storage unit (not shown) (for example, RAM or EEPROM), and displays and transmits / receives data on the display unit 12 based on an operation signal input from the operation unit 11 or a signal received by the transmission / reception unit 13. Various controls such as a call and mail transmission / reception by the unit 13, driving of the camera 18 by the camera drive circuit 19, or reading / writing from the storage unit are performed. For the camera 18, the larger the number of CCDs, the better. For example, it is most preferable to realize about 1 million pixels or more, but about 300,000 pixels may be used. That is, the reason why a high resolution can be realized is that the order receiving computer 5 described later preferably uses image processing accuracy such as contour extraction or shape recognition based on edge detection from the hand image 8 to the image 7 ′ of the circular coin 7 or the like. This is because the measurement accuracy of the dimension is ensured, and a more accurate reference dimension value can be obtained.

  The voice signal input from the microphone 17 is encoded by the voice processing circuit 15 and transmitted from the transmitter / receiver unit 13 while the voice signal received by the transmitter / receiver unit 13 is transmitted by the control by the control unit 14. After being combined, it is output from the receiver 16. When the camera is used, when the camera mode is switched by operating the operation unit 11, the camera 18 focuses on the subject that has been stationary for a predetermined time by the automatic focusing function, and when the shutter button is pressed in this state, the subject is imaged. The captured image is stored in the storage unit and displayed on the display unit 12. Then, when a mail transmission operation is performed with the destination image identification information (mail address) set for the displayed image, the imaged image data is transmitted as an image mail. The image data reaches the transmission destination via the line network 4.

  The contractor computer 5 includes a CPU, a memory, an HDD, etc., and operates based on an OS and various programs stored in advance. In this embodiment, the orderer computer 5 is installed in the glove maker 6, receives the image data transmitted from the camera-equipped mobile phone device 1, and receives the orderer P based on the received image data. The standard dimension value of gloves ordered from is calculated.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the configuration of the contractor computer 5, particularly regarding the components related to image conversion and reference dimension acquisition. The contractor computer 5 includes a display unit 51 configured by a TFT or a CRT monitor and an input unit 52 configured by a keyboard, a mouse, and the like, and a transmission / reception unit 53 that performs transmission / reception via the network 4. A storage unit 54 for storing image data and the like, an image data acquisition processing unit 55, an image conversion processing unit 56 for correcting an inclination of an image read by the image data acquisition processing unit 55 and converting the image into a facing image, and A reference dimension acquisition processing unit 57 that calculates, as a reference dimension value, a dimension value of a position input and set in the facing image converted by the image conversion processing unit 56, an image based on the received image data, the facing image, and the like Is displayed on the display means 51 described later, and an output processing unit 59 is provided. Each process or each function by the image data acquisition processing unit 55, the image conversion processing unit 56, and the reference dimension acquisition processing unit 57 is realized based on a program stored in advance.

  In the following, the orderer P (see FIG. 1) transmits an image (hand image) of his / her hand H to the orderer computer 5 in order to order a custom-made glove, and the reference dimension value is obtained from the received hand image. The case of determining will be described.

  First, the procedure up to ordering (transmission of hand image) by the orderer P is as follows. That is, the orderer P uses a circular coin (for example, a 500-yen coin, a 10-yen coin or a 100-yen coin, preferably a 500-yen coin having a maximum diameter) 7 as a shape reference object, and places the circular coin on the palm (palm). The hand H is photographed by the camera 18 of the camera-equipped mobile phone device 1 in a state where H is widened and substantially flat. The circular coin 7 is optimal as a shape reference object because it maintains a perfect circular shape with a constant diameter and its diameter is known although there is some wear with circulation. At the time of the above photographing, the hand 18 and the camera 18 are arranged so as to face each other, that is, the camera 18 is arranged so that the plane constituted by the hand H is orthogonal to the optical axis 181 of the camera 18; The camera 18 is positioned so that the optical axis 181 passes through the approximate center of the circular coin 7, and then the shutter button is gently operated to take a picture. If the camera 18 and the hand H are facing each other as described above, the hand image captured by this is a facing hand image 8a in which the circular coin 7 is captured in a perfect circle state as shown in FIG. For example, when the photograph is taken in a tilted state in which the wrist side of the hand H is positioned in front and the finger side is positioned in the rear, the tilted hand in which the circular coin 7 is captured in an elliptical shape as shown in FIG. The image 8b is obtained. For the hand image taken by the orderer P, reference numeral 8 is used thereafter.

  Then, the orderer P transmits the image data of the hand image 8 stored in the camera-equipped mobile phone device 1 to the contractor computer 5 as an image mail. This mail transmission may be performed by specifying the identification information (mail address) assigned to the contractor computer 5.

  On the other hand, in the contractor computer 5 that has received the image data of the hand image 8 by the transmission / reception unit 53 (see FIG. 3) and stored in the storage unit 54, the following processing is executed. That is, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6, first, the circular coin captured on the hand image 8 is displayed on the display means 51 based on the image data obtained by receiving the hand image 8 by the image data acquisition processing unit 55. Whether or not the image 7 'of the (shape reference object) 7 is a perfect circle is determined by shape measurement (step S1).

  This determination may be performed as follows. For example, on the hand image 8 displayed on the display means 51, the orthogonal coordinates of the Y axis extending in the direction connecting the center position of the wrist 90 and the tip position of the middle finger 93 of the fingers and the X axis orthogonal to the Y axis are displayed. (See FIG. 4 or FIG. 5), it is determined whether or not it is a perfect circle by comparing the Y-axis direction diameter and the X-axis direction diameter of the image 7 'of the circular coin 7. If the Y-axis direction diameter and the X-axis direction diameter are equal, the image 7 ′ of the circular coin 7 is determined to be a perfect circle, while if the Y-axis direction diameter and the X-axis direction diameter Dx are not equal, the image of the circular coin 7 is obtained. 7 'is determined not to be a perfect circle. If the hand H and the camera 18 are arranged facing each other at the time of photographing, the image 7 ′ of the circular coin 7 (see the solid line in FIG. 7) has a Y-axis direction diameter Dy and an X-axis direction diameter Dx as shown in FIG. If the images are taken with the hand H tilted around the X axis at the time of shooting, the image 7 'of the circular coin 7 (see the dashed line in the figure) has a Y axis direction diameter dy < The X-axis direction diameter dx results in an elliptical shape that is long in the X-axis direction. Although not shown in FIG. 7, if the image is taken with the hand H tilted around the Y-axis at the time of shooting, the image 7 ′ of the circular coin 7 has a diameter in the Y-axis direction> X It becomes an elliptical shape which becomes an axial direction diameter and is long in the Y-axis direction.

  In the above determination, if it is determined that the image 7 ′ of the circular coin 7 is a perfect circle, the hand image 8 is determined to be a directly-facing hand image 8a, and then the processing by the reference dimension acquisition processing unit 57 (step S4). On the other hand, if it is determined that the image 7 ′ of the circular coin 7 is not a perfect circle, the hand image 8 is determined to be an inclined hand image (for example, 8b), and then converted by the image conversion processing unit 56. I do. In this conversion processing, tilt correction around the X axis (step S2) and / or tilt correction around the Y axis (step S3) is performed according to the comparison result between the Y axis direction diameter and the X axis direction diameter.

  For example, when the hand image 8 is a tilted hand image 8b tilted around the X axis (see FIG. 5), tilt correction around the X axis (step S2) is executed, and the hand image 8 tilts around the Y axis. If the image is a hand image (not shown), tilt correction around the Y axis (step S3) is executed.

  In the case of tilt correction around the X axis (step S2), the plane Hb (see FIG. 8) constituted by the hand H at the time of photographing by the orderer P is a straight line position (a plane defined by the X axis and the Y axis). As a result of being tilted by an inclination angle β around the X-axis from the position), the image is captured as a tilted hand image 8b reduced in the Y-axis direction. To do. As the processing, using the dy and dx measured in FIG. 7, the tilted hand image 8b is extended by dx / dy times in the Y-axis direction so that the Y-axis direction diameter dy becomes dx, or The inclination angle β between the plane Hb and the inclined hand image 8b may be obtained based on the following equation, and any one of the processes of correcting the inclination based on the inclination angle β may be performed. The Z axis in FIG. 8 is in a positional relationship parallel to the optical axis 181 of the camera 18.

β = Cos ⁻¹ (dy / dx)
In the case of tilt correction around the Y axis (step S3), the plane Hc (see FIG. 8) constituted by the hand H at the time of photographing by the orderer P is tilted by the tilt angle γ around the Y axis from the directly facing position. As a result, since the image is captured as the tilted hand image 8c reduced in the X-axis direction, the image is corrected and converted into the state of the directly-facing hand image 8a. As the process, the tilted hand image 8c is expanded in the X-axis direction by the Y-axis direction diameter / X-axis direction diameter in the same manner as in the case of the tilt correction around the X-axis, and the X-axis direction diameter becomes the Y-axis. Either the same value as the direction diameter or the inclination angle γ between the plane Hc and the inclined hand image 8c may be obtained, and the inclination correction may be performed based on the inclination angle γ.

  Even if the hand image 8 transmitted from the orderer P is not photographed at the directly-facing position, it is converted into the directly-facing hand image 8a. Based on this, the reference dimension acquisition processing by the reference dimension acquisition processing unit 57 is performed.

  The part from which the reference dimension value is acquired may be changed according to the type of gloves to be manufactured, etc., but in the normal case, it is the dimension value of each of the following parts. Dimension E1 from the base position 911 to the tip position 912 of the thumb 91 (see FIG. 4), Dimension E2 from the base position 921 to the tip position 922 of the index finger 92, Dimension E3 from the base position 931 to the tip position 932 of the middle finger 93, The dimension E4 from the base position 941 to the tip position 942 of the ring finger 94, the dimension E5 from the base position 951 to the tip position 952 of the little finger 95, and the length of the hand from the center position 901 of the wrist 90 to the tip position 932 of the middle finger 93 Dimension E6, circumference E7 which is the circumference from the starting point position 961 of the lifeline of the palm 96 to the predetermined position 962 near the base of the little finger 95, the hand between the wrist 90 and the wrist 90 and the base of the little finger 95 from the starting point position 961 of the lifeline of the palm 96 A hand circumference dimension E8, which is the circumference of the neck side 1/3 position 963, is acquired as a reference dimension value.

  The above-described reference dimension values E1 to E8 are determined by the straight hand corresponding to each of the above-mentioned dimensions E1 to E8 with respect to the display diameter d of the image 7 ′ portion of the circular coin 7 captured in the straight hand image 8a. This is performed by multiplying the ratio of each display size e1 to e8 on the image 8a by the known diameter D (actual diameter value) of the circular coin 7.

  As a specific process, the operator on the contractor side performs a reference dimension acquisition point setting operation W1 (see FIG. 6) on the directly-facing hand image 8a displayed on the display means 51, and receives this setting operation. A reference dimension acquisition process is executed. That is, when the operator on the contractor side makes a pointing input by clicking the two points 71 and 72 on the circumference of the image 7 'of the circular coin 7 by clicking the cursor with the mouse of the input means 52, for example, In response to the pointing input setting (the above setting operation W1) for each position of the points 71 and 72, for example, the number of dots between the points 71 and 72 is measured and temporarily stored as the display diameter d. Next, in the same manner as described above, the number of dots between the positions 911 and 912 is measured in response to pointing input settings for the base position 911 and the tip position 912 of the thumb 91, and this is temporarily stored as a display dimension e1. E1 is obtained by multiplying the ratio (e1 / d) divided by d by the above D. This is expressed by the following equation.

E1 = (e1 / d) × D
Hereinafter, similarly, E2 has a root position 921 and a tip position 922, E3 has a root position 931 and a tip position 932, E4 has a root position 941 and a tip position 942, and E5 has a root position 951 and a tip position 952. For E6, the pointing position of the center position 901 of the wrist 90 and the tip position 932 of the middle finger 93, the starting point position 961 and the predetermined position 962 for E7, and the starting point position 961 and the predetermined position 963 for E8 are input. Each display size e2 to e8 is acquired. For E2 to E6, the ratio obtained by dividing e2 to e6 by d is multiplied by D in the same manner as in the above equation. On the other hand, the circumference dimension E7 and the hand circumference dimension E8 are each a circumference, and are obtained by adding the thickness of the palm 96 to the doubled one. For example, in the case of the peripheral dimension E7, the calculation is performed by the following equation.

E7 = (2 × e7 / d) × D + E0
The above “E0” is a dimension corresponding to the thickness of the palm 96, and the value of this E0 is stored and held in advance in a table created based on statistical processing in relation to the hand length dimension E6, and obtained from the table above. Reading is performed based on the hand length E6. Similarly, the hand circumference E8 is obtained by replacing “e7” in the above equation with “e8”.

  When the thickness of the hill portion 97 is necessary, the operator on the contractor's side looks at the facing hand image 8a, for example, it is thin, slightly thin, normal, or thick in four-step evaluation. By inputting and setting the evaluation, a dimension value set in advance for each stage evaluation may be determined.

  The reference dimension acquisition process (step S4) is completed as described above. Next, the output processing unit 59 outputs each of the reference dimension values E1 to E8 to the glove production line (step S5), and the process ends. In the glove production line, production of gloves is started based on the above-described reference dimension values E1 to E8, and the produced gloves are delivered to the orderer P by truck transportation T (see FIG. 1), for example.

  In the above, the technique for determining the reference dimension value necessary for ordering the custom-made gloves from the hand image 8 photographed by the orderer P has been mainly described. However, in addition to the transmission of the hand image 8 from the orderer P side, the order is placed. Information on the order specifications such as the type of gloves and the materials to be used may be sent by e-mail to the contractor computer 5, and the production of the above gloves will be started based on the order specification information and the above reference dimension values. Become.

<Other embodiments>
In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Various other embodiments are included. That is, although the case where the orderer computer 5 is installed in the glove producer 6 is shown in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the orderer computer 5 is not limited to the glove producer's agent, agency, or store. You may make it install in etc. In this case, the reference dimension value determined by the contractor computer 5 or a front-facing hand image in addition to the reference dimension value is transmitted to the glove producer via the network 4 or via other transmission means. To communicate.

  In the above-described embodiment, the orderer P orders using the camera-equipped mobile phone device 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the orderer P uses a so-called digital camera or the like instead of the camera-equipped mobile phone device 1. A hand image may be captured using the imaging device, and the captured image data may be transmitted to the contractor computer 5 using the communication device. As a communication apparatus in this case, an orderer computer having a communication function via the network 4 may be used.

  Furthermore, although the case where the circular coin 7 was used as a shape reference | standard thing was shown, it is not restricted to this, For example, instead of the circular coin 7, the exclusive circular medal of the same shape is distributed beforehand, and this circular medal is used as a shape reference | standard. It may be used as an item to be ordered by the orderer P.
