Description

  The present invention relates to a method and system for supporting coordination of clothes, accessories, clothing, and the like, and in particular, sales of a plurality of products by using IP (Internet Protocol) and semantic information network (SIONET: Semantic Information Oriented Network). The present invention relates to an item coordination support method and system that performs coordination simulation based on product information and coordination information provided from a store and information about items that the user actually owns and provides product information to the user.

  Conventionally, when a consumer purchases a product such as clothes, accessories, and clothing, a combination of upper and lower clothes such as a combination of a jacket and trousers, a combination of a blouse and a skirt, and an accessory such as a necklace or brooch In many cases, the combination of clothes, and hats, mufflers, shoes and clothes, etc., made it difficult to judge whether items were coordinated. In many cases, consulting with a store clerk about coordination and finally deciding on a product to purchase.

  In addition, the number of stores selling desired clothes and accessories, or clothes and accessories that are preferable from the viewpoint of coordination is limited, and such stores are unevenly distributed in the region. It was difficult to go out and purchase products from those stores, and to obtain coordinate information (information on how to coordinate the items) of the products handled at those stores.

  In recent years, by using a network such as the Internet, it has become possible to purchase fashion items such as clothes, accessories, and clothing even in remote locations. Through the network, it has become possible to receive coordinating advice that can only be received at stores. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-122967 (“Fashion Product Purchase System and Purchase Method and Computer Program Therefor”) (Patent Document 1) provides fashion information purchase and advice by an advisor. A system has been proposed. In this system, the purchaser selects a product he / she wishes to purchase from the vendor's server and can virtually try on the selected product according to the 3D physical data of the purchaser on the computer. And an advisor terminal connected to the Internet that evaluates the result of virtual fitting and informs the purchaser of the evaluation result. The purchaser of the product refers to the evaluation from the advisor terminal. Then, it is possible to determine the purchase of a product that is virtually tried on. In this system, the advisor evaluates the coordinates of the product purchaser using the advisor terminal.

In this specification, clothes, accessories, clothing, and the like are collectively referred to as items (or fashion items). In addition to regular stores, stores include so-called cyber that are established on the Internet. Stores, virtual stores, and net shops are also included. Items refer to items that are generally worn, and include shoes, mufflers, hats, handbags and umbrellas.

  The items subject to coordination are not necessarily sold at the same store, and there are many cases where the purchaser wants to judge whether the coordinates are good or bad in combination with items already owned. Simply obtaining product information and coordination information from other stores cannot satisfy the purchaser's request for coordination. However, with conventional systems, product information and coordination information from a single store can be easily obtained, but to acquire product information and coordination information from a plurality of different stores, it is necessary to access each store one by one. It takes a lot of trouble and is not realistic. Furthermore, in the conventional system, coordinate information provided by a third party other than the business operator (or store), for example, coordinate information collected by one or more consumers who have already purchased the product may be acquired. Can not.

  After all, in the conventional system, coordinate information recommended by each of a plurality of stores and information coordinated by a third party (for example, other purchasers of the product) can be obtained as reference information regarding a candidate product for purchase. Can not. Therefore, the purchaser obtains the coordinate information from each of these multiple stores or the coordinate information from a third party for reference, and purchaser's own picture and body shape, as well as data on items owned by the purchaser. It was not possible to enjoy the coordination flexibly while considering the buyer's own preferences, comfort and fashion.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain, as reference information, product information such as inventory products in a plurality of stores, coordinate information recommended by each store, and coordinate information by a third party other than the store using a network.

Such user total data 34 is stored in the user total data storage unit 36 via the user information management unit 37. Will be stored.

  Next, the operation of this item coordination support system will be described.

  The users 4, 12 and 17 are image data of the user, body shape data such as height and weight, and items owned by the user (clothes such as short-sleeved shirts, skirts and jackets, shoes and mufflers, and earrings). Item information data such as the type, shape, size, photo, etc. of the user) is input to the user's information communication terminals 5, 13, 18 and / or the mobile information communication terminals 6, 14 in advance. Data (user total data 34) is stored in the user total data storage 36 of the information communication terminal and / or mobile information communication terminal.

  Next, the users 4 and 12 use the information communication terminals 5 and 13 (and / or the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14) to visit the homepages of the stores 1 and 9 that are disclosed on the IP communication network 19. By browsing and displaying the contents of those homepages on the display unit 44, browse products such as clothes (for example, shirts, jackets, skirts, etc.) and accessories (earrings, brooches, etc.) posted on those homepages. To do. From such products, the user selects several products he / she likes and receives product information of the selected products.

  Furthermore, the user receives several pieces of coordinate information recommended by the store regarding the selected product. This coordinate information is provided by the store, but indicates the result of coordination by another person (in many cases, a store salesperson or coordinate advisor). Alternatively, the user may receive coordinate information of other users 17 disclosed on the IP communication network 19. Then, while referring to the product information and coordination information received from the store side and the coordination information from other users 17, the users 4 and 12 can obtain image data of their own photos, height, weight, etc. Using the body shape data and item information data relating to the items owned by the user, the coordination management unit 37 simulates the coordination of the items owned by the user and the selected product. Since the simulation result is displayed as an image on the display unit 44, the user can enjoy a plurality of coordinates while changing various items (or products) to be combined.

  As a result of the coordination simulation, the user can save the product information of the product he / she likes in the information communication terminals 5 and 13 (or the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14). Further, as a result of the coordination, a product that the user wishes to buy can be ordered through the ordering processing unit 39 on the homepage of each store 1 and 9, and the product can be purchased.

  In this embodiment, the information communication terminals 5 and 13 of the users 4 and 12 (or the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14) receive the coordinate information of other users 17 disclosed on the IP communication network 17. Then, a coordination simulation is performed with reference to the received coordinate information of the product, and advices and trendy coordinate information felt by the users 4 and 12 themselves are transmitted to the information communication terminal 18 of the other user 17. You can also. Furthermore, it is possible to publish coordination information based on coordination virtually performed by the users 4 and 12 on the IP communication network 19 and receive advice on the coordination information from other users 17. 4, 12 and other users 17 can share and enjoy the coordinate information of the items they own.

  When the users 4 and 12 purchase the goods at the stores 1 and 9 on the go, the users 4 and 12 use the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14 such as the mobile phones 7 and 15 or the PDAs 8 and 16. The mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14 store photographs of the users 4 and 12, body shape data, and item information data about items owned by the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14. As in the case described above, it is possible to perform a simulation of product coordination based on the coordination information from the store and the user's general user data. At this time, from the mobile phones 7 and 15, the user of the user stored in the information communication terminals 5 and 13 of the users 4 and 12 via the mobile communication network 20 and the IP communication network 19. If it is possible to access and view the general data, it is possible to perform a coordination simulation based on the general user data stored in the information communication terminals 5 and 13 of the users 4 and 12. .

  In this embodiment, if there is a store in the vicinity of the user's location, the user goes to the store displaying the product at the store for the product he / she likes as a result of the coordination simulation, You can confirm the item by touching it and purchase the item.

  In the embodiment described above, the IP communication network 19 is used. However, by using the semantic information network, it is possible to automatically collect coordinate information about a preset item (or product). .

  FIG. 3 shows the configuration of an item coordination support system using a semantic information network.

  The system shown in FIG. 3 is the same as the system shown in FIG. 1 except that a semantic information network 29 is constructed on the IP communication network 19, and each information communication terminal 2, 5, 10, 13, 18 and each mobile information communication terminal. 6 and 16 are connected to the semantic information network 29 to set a filter in the semantic information network 29 so that an event can be transmitted. Specifically, the information communication terminals 2 and 10 of the stores 1 and 9 have an event 26, which includes product general data 30 of products such as clothes and accessories and coordinate information to be recommended as a semantic information part and a data part. 28 has a function of transmitting 28 to the semantic information network and a function of registering the filters 22 and 24 having the product general data 30 as semantic information in the semantic information network 29. The information communication terminals 5, 13, 18 and the mobile information communication terminals 6, 14 of the users 4, 12, 17 have a function of transmitting product information about desired products to the semantic information network 29 as events 25, 27, The product information of the desired product is registered in the semantic information network 29 as filters 21 and 23. The information communication terminal 18 of another user 17 has a function of transmitting coordinate information as an event 40 to the semantic information network 29.

  Software for connecting to the semantic information network and functioning as a node of the semantic information network is installed in the information communication terminals 2, 5, 10, 13, 18 and the mobile information communication terminals 6, 16. Details of the semantic information network are described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-94561 (Patent Document 2). Except for functioning as a node of the semantic information network, the information communication terminals 2, 5, 10, 13, 18 and the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 16 are the same as those in the system shown in FIGS. Is. Transmission of events to the semantic information network 29 and setting of filters are performed by the communication processing units 42 and 43. The firing of the filter is also detected by the communication processing units 42 and 43.

  In this system, the information communication terminals 2 and 10 of the stores 1 and 9 transmit the semantic information part of the general product data 30 including the product information and the coordination information and the events 26 and 28 of the data part to the semantic information network 29, The semantic information of the information data 30 is registered and set in the semantic information network 29 as filters 22 and 24.

  For example, in the information communication terminals 2 and 10 of the stores 1 and 9, the semantic information part is “product = shirt”, “XX store”, “brand name = XXX”, “size = S”, “color = 紺”, “price”. = 8500 yen "is registered and set in the semantic information network 29. As events 26 and 28 of product information, the semantic information part is “product = shirt”, the data part is “XX store”, “brand name = XXX”, “size = S”, “color = 紺”, “price = 8500”. Send an event that is "Yen".

  The store can further send the recommended coordinate information as an event to the semantic information network 29. As the coordinate information, for example, the semantic information part is “product = shirt” and the data part is [reference coordinate information: brand name = XXX: color = 紺: combination = “skirt, hat, necklace, shoes” ] Event is transmitted.

  In the information communication terminals 5 and 13 (and / or) the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14 of the users 4 and 12, the image data of the user's photograph, the body shape data, and the user Item information data related to the owned item is set. Then, the users 4 and 12 register and set product information as filters 21 and 23 in the semantic information network among the products handled by the stores 1 and 9. Further, the product information desired by the user is transmitted to the semantic information network 29 as events 25 and 27.

  As an example, the users 21 and 12 correspond to the desired product information, and the filter 21 sets the semantic information portion to “product = shirt”, “brand name = XXX”, “size = S”, and “color = 紺”. , 23 are registered in the semantic information network 29 and set. In addition, the events 25 and 27 such that the semantic information part is “product = shirt” and the data part is “brand name = XXX”, “size = S”, “color = 紺”, “price = 8500 yen”, etc. Transmit to the semantic information network 29.

  When the filter is set and the event is transmitted in this way, the filter 21 of the user 4 who has reacted to the event 26 of the store 1 is ignited on the semantic information network 29. As a result, the user 4 The event 26 of merchandise information or coordination information can be automatically received by the information communication terminal 5 and the mobile information communication terminal 6. Similarly, on the semantic information network, the product information filter 24 of the store 9 reacts to the event 27 of the product information desired by the user 12 and fires. As a result, the information communication terminal 10 of the store 9 It is possible to automatically receive the event 27 of the user 12 and know the product information desired by the user 12.

  Users 4 and 12 can automatically receive coordinate information of other users 17 disclosed to the IP communication network 19 via the semantic information network 29 using this system. For example, in the information communication terminal 18 of another user 17, as coordinate information, the semantic information part is “product = shirt” and the data part is [reference coordinate information: brand name = ◯◯◯: color = 紺: An event 40 of “combination =“ skirt, hat, necklace, shoes ”] can be transmitted to the semantic information network 29. On the semantic information network, the filters 21 and 23 of the users 4 and 12 react to the event 40 and ignite. As a result, the event 40 of the coordinate information of the other users 17 is transmitted to the user 4. , 12 and mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14 can be automatically received. Users 4 and 12 browse the data part of the event 40 from another user 17 and want to use the coordinate information, including images, as a reference for coordination, via the IP communication network 19. Then, coordinate information including images such as “shirt” and “skirt, hat, necklace, shoes” can be downloaded to the information communication terminals 5 and 13.

  The users 4 and 12 browse the data sections of the events 26 and 28 of the coordination information of the stores 1 and 9, and when detailed coordination information is desired, the coordination information of the product including the image is obtained via the IP communication network 19. Can be downloaded. The users 4 and 12 are items related to the merchandise information and coordinate information of the stores 1 and 9 received on the semantic information network, or coordinate information of other users 17, user photos and body data, and owned items. Similar to the above, the information data 34 can be used to virtually simulate the coordination and enjoy it, and the products that are desired as a result of the coordination can be obtained from the information communication terminals 5 and 13 (or mobile information communication). Terminals 6, 14) can be ordered at stores 1, 9, and desired products can be purchased without going to stores 1, 9.

  In addition, the users 4 and 12 send advices noticed while referring to the coordinate information by other users 17, or send the coordinate information of the users 4 and 12 to other users 17. It is possible to enjoy coordination between users. As the stores 1 and 9, by providing the product information and the coordination information, a new sales method for the product becomes possible, and an increase in product sales can be expected.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the item coordination support system using the semantic information network 29 shown in FIG. Here, the information communication terminals 5 and 13 and the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14 of the users 4 and 12 register the filters 21 and 23 in the semantic information network 29, and respond to events 26 and 28 from the stores 1 and 9. The process when the filters 21 and 23 are ignited and the product information of the events 26 and 28 is automatically received is shown.

  In step S1, the users 4 and 12 receive the desired product information such as “product = shirt”, “brand name = XXX”, “size = S”, and “color = 紺” as the information communication terminals 5 and 13 and the mobile information communication terminal. 6 and 14, in step S2, the information communication terminals 5 and 13 and the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14 have “product = shirt”, “brand name = XXX”, “size = S”, and “color”. The filters 21 and 23 having the semantic information part “= 紺” are registered in the semantic information network 29, and the registered filters 21 and 23 are set in the semantic information network 29 in step S3.

By this event 40, the filters 21 and 23 of the users 4 and 12 are ignited in step S10, and the information communication terminals 5 and 13 and the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14 of the users 4 and 12 The event 40 from the user 17 is automatically received. As a result, the users 4 and 12 browse the coordinate information by other users 17 in step S12.

  Next, in step S13, the information communication terminals 5 and 13 and the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14 of the users 4 and 12 automatically set the product information and the coordinate information that are desired to be received. As a result, the information communication terminals 2 and 10 of the stores 1 and 9 display product images via the IP communication network 19 to the information communication terminals 5 and 13 and the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14 in step S14. Send coordinate information including. Further, the information communication terminal 18 of the other user 17 transmits coordinate information including images to the information communication terminals 5 and 13 and the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14 via the IP communication network 19 in step S15. To do. Thereby, in step S16, the users 4 and 12 can virtually coordinate based on the user general data 34 and the product information and coordinate information from the stores 1 and 9 and other users 17. Yes, you can decide what to buy. When the product to be purchased is determined, the users 4 and 12 order the product from the stores 1 and 9 using the information communication terminals 5 and 13 and the mobile information communication terminals 6 and 14 in step S17. In step S18, the salesclerks of the stores 1 and 9 accept the order and ship the corresponding product.

  In the item coordination support system described above, each information communication terminal 2, 5, 10, 13, 18 is typically configured by a personal computer or the like. A computer program for realizing an information communication terminal on the store side or an information communication terminal on the user side is read into the personal computer, and the personal computer is executed by executing the program. Or it will function as an information communication terminal on the user side. Such a program is read into a personal computer via a recording medium such as a CD-ROM or via a network.
