Description

  The present invention relates to a tabi or tabi pattern automatic selection device that automatically selects a tabi or tabi pattern suitable for a customer's foot shape.

  When a salesperson selects a tabi that matches a customer's foot, the salesperson asks the customer about the length of the foot and the usage status of the socks purchased by the customer so far. Etc. Then, referring to the information obtained from the customer in this way and the shape of the apparent foot, the salesperson selects a tabi that matches the foot of the customer.

  If trial socks are also available, ask the customer to try on the socks, and ask the customer if they are tight or loose to select the socks that match the customer's foot. ing.

  In addition, so far, only two types of socks have been prepared for the same foot length, the normal type and the thin type, and the selection is relatively easy, and many of the purchasers are elderly people. The purchase of tabi was not so difficult because the purchasers often knew the tabi that was suitable for them.

  In recent years, the number of young people has increased, and there has been an increase in purchases in situations where it has never been purchased, and there is a lack of awareness of the use of products such as non-elastic socks, so that it does not fit after purchase. It has come to happen. In addition, due to differences in lifestyle among young people and changes in dietary habits, the traditional tabi type alone is not enough to satisfy buyers.

  To provide a tabi that matches the customer's foot shape, the number of tabi types for the same foot length may be increased. However, if the type of tabi for the same foot length is increased, the customer's There is a need to grasp the shape of. However, at present, there are few sales staff who can accurately measure the foot dimensions and select an appropriate socks from the measured foot dimensions, so it is difficult to select the socks that match the customer's foot shape. For this reason, there is a demand for a system that can automatically select a socks that match a customer's foot shape.

  By the way, tabi users choose to buy ready-made or socks. Ordered socks are sold to a limited number of customers who demand high-end products, and are expensive.

  Recently, there is an increasing demand for patterned socks other than white and black socks. Patterned socks are in high demand from young people and provide a new culture of socks. That said, the demand for patterned socks is less than that for white and black socks, and as with white and black socks, it cannot be mass-produced. In addition, there is a request that the purchaser wants to specify the fabric of the socks.

Although it is conceivable to receive orders for patterned socks and fabric socks as ordered socks, it is difficult to provide ordered socks at a low price and in a short period of time that can be purchased by general buyers. Therefore, it is under consideration to manufacture patterned socks and fabric-designed socks using the same manufacturing process as ready-made products, but there is no appropriate method for selecting a pattern that matches the customer's shape, so-called pattern order. It has not yet been adopted a system that is said to be low in price and shortened production schedule.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the first to fifth aspects of the present invention, measurement data relating to a customer's foot shape is obtained by a three-dimensional shape measuring apparatus.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to automatically select a socks or a socks pattern suitable for a customer's foot shape.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a paper type selection system for tabi.

  The tabi paper pattern selection system includes a three-dimensional shape measuring device 11 for measuring a necessary dimension from a customer's foot and a tabi that automatically selects a tabi pattern based on the measurement result of the three-dimensional shape measuring device 11. It comprises a mold selection device 12.

  The three-dimensional shape measuring apparatus 11 is for measuring the three-dimensional shape of a customer's foot, and various devices have already been developed (JP 2000-39310 A, etc.). In this embodiment, the three-dimensional shape measuring apparatus 11 measures the customer's “foot length”, “tightening”, “top” and “ankle”.

  FIG. 2 (a) shows a side view of the foot, and FIG. 2 (b) shows a bottom view of the foot. The “foot length” is a length L from the rear end of the heel to the tip of the thumb, as indicated by L in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b).

  As shown by a broken line H in FIG. 2B, the “around” is the length of the circumference of the foot passing through the base P1 of the thumb and the base P2 of the little finger. In FIG. 2 (b), the position P1 of the base of the thumb is Pa when the position on the toe side is the length D1 from the rear end of the heel on the straight line S passing from the rear end of the heel to the tip of the thumb. The straight line passing through the line S and perpendicular to the straight line S is identified as the position where the contour inside the sole contacts. The inner length D1 is set to a% of the foot length (a is a preset value, for example, 75%). In FIG. 2 (b), the position P2 of the base of the little finger is defined as a straight line that passes through Pb and is perpendicular to the straight line S and the sole of the foot, assuming that the position on the foot side is the length D2 from the rear end of the heel. It is specified as a position where the outer contour contacts. The outside step length D2 is set to b% of the foot length (b is a preset value, for example, 65%).

  “Back” is the length of the circumference of the instep portion as indicated by the broken line K in FIG. In FIG. 2 (b), “instep” is c% of the foot length from the rear end of the heel on the straight line S passing from the rear end of the heel to the tip of the thumb (c is a preset value, for example, 55 %) Where Pc is the position on the toe side, a position P3 where the straight line passing through Pc and perpendicular to the straight line S and the inner contour of the sole contact, and a straight line passing through Pc and perpendicular to the straight line S and the sole Is the length of the circumference of the foot that passes through the position P4 where the outer contour of the foot contacts.

  “Ankle circumference” is the length of the circumference of the ankle, as indicated by a broken line A in FIG. 2 (b), and is a position above the bottom of the heel by d% of the foot length (d is a preset value). It is measured as the circumference of the ankle of P5 (see FIG. 2 (a)). It should be noted that the length of the circumference of the ankle at a position that is a predetermined length above the bottom of the heel may be measured as “around the ankle”.

  The socks type selection device 12 is configured by, for example, a PC (personal computer). The socks type selection device 12 executes socks type selection processing based on the socks type selection program.

  There are three types of tabi patterns, “normal type”, “slim type” and “thin type” for each of a plurality of types of reference foot length sizes. The standard foot length size is prepared in 0.5 cm increments. That is, the pattern of the socks is classified according to the combination of the standard foot length size and the type.

  Based on the customer's “foot length”, “tightness”, “instep” and “ankle circumference” measured by the three-dimensional shape measuring device 11, the tabi type selection device 12 is suitable for the customer's foot shape. Select the “standard foot length size” and “type” (“normal”, “slender” and “thin”), and display the information that can be recognized by the selected “standard foot length size” and “type” on the monitor. To do. In addition, when there is no pattern suitable for the customer's foot shape, the monitor displays that there is no pattern suitable for the customer's foot shape.

  The storage device of the socks type selection device 12 stores standard data for identifying the classification of the socks pattern. As shown in Table 1, standard data for foot length size identification (unit: cm) corresponding to each reference foot length size and type identification prepared for each foot length size identification standard data as shown in Table 1 It consists of standard data (unit: cm). The standard data for type identification prepared for each standard data for leg length size identification is classified according to each type of “stretching” corresponding to the standard data for leg length size identification (“normal type”, “slim type”) And “thin type”)), standard data for each type of “instep” corresponding to the standard data for identifying the foot length size, and “ankle” corresponding to the standard data for identifying the foot length size It consists of standard data for each type of “around”. Each standard data indicates the maximum dimension.

  Table 1 shows only standard data regarding the standard foot length sizes of 22.0 cm, 22.5 cm, and 23.0 cm, but the tabi type selector 12 actually includes standard data regarding other standard foot length sizes. It is remembered.

  The allowable range of standard data will be described. The allowable range of the foot length size identification standard data is defined as a range larger than (foot length size identification standard data−0.5 cm) and not more than the foot length size identification standard data.

  The allowable range of the standard data for type identification regarding “ankle circumference” is defined as a range larger than (standard data for type identification—1.0 cm) and less than or equal to the standard data for type identification.

  The permissible range of the standard data for type identification with respect to “around” and “upper” will be described. Since the definition of the allowable range of the standard data for type identification for “spanning” and “top” is the same, here, the standard data for foot length size identification is about 22.5 cm. The permissible range of the standard data for type identification of “normal type”, “slim type” and “thin type” will be described. The allowable range of the “normal” type identification standard data is defined as a range larger than the “slim type” type identification standard data and below the “normal” type identification standard data. The allowable range of the “normal” type identification standard data for “instep” corresponding to the foot length size identification standard data of 22.5 cm is greater than 22.0 cm and less than or equal to 25.5 cm.

  The allowable range of the “slim type” type identification standard data is defined as a range larger than the “slim type” type identification standard data and below the “slim type” type identification standard data. The allowable range of the “slim-type” type identification standard data for “instep” corresponding to the foot length size identification standard data of 22.5 cm is greater than 21.0 cm and less than or equal to 22.0 cm.

  The acceptable range of the “thin type” type identification standard data corresponding to certain standard foot length size identification data (referred to as standard foot length size identification standard data) is one step lower than the standard foot length size identification standard data. It is defined as a range larger than the “thin type” type identification standard data corresponding to the long size identification standard data and below the “thin type” type identification standard data corresponding to the attention foot length size identification standard data. The permissible range of the “thin type” type identification standard data for “instep” corresponding to the foot length size identification standard data of 22.5 cm is greater than 19.5 cm and less than or equal to 21.0 cm.

  FIG. 3 shows the procedure of the socks type selection process executed by the socks type selection device 12.

  When the measurement results (“foot length”, “stretching”, “upper” and “ankle”) are input from the three-dimensional shape measuring apparatus 11 (step S1), whether or not the reselection process has already been performed. Is reset (F = 0) (step S2).

  Thereafter, based on the measurement data of “foot length” and the standard data for identifying the foot length, the standard data for identifying the foot length corresponding to the measurement data of “foot length” is used for the first foot length size identification. It selects as standard data (step S3). In step S3, the foot length size identification standard data corresponding to the “foot length” measurement data is determined based on which of the foot length size identification standard data is within the allowable range of the foot length size identification data. Select. That is, the foot length size identifying standard data satisfying {(foot length size identifying standard data−0.5 cm) <measured data of “foot length” ≦ foot length size identifying standard data} is used as the first foot length size. Select as standard data for identification. For example, if the measurement data of “foot length” is 22.5 cm, the first standard data for identifying foot length size is 22.5 cm.

  Next, the measurement data of “instep” is one of the allowable ranges of the type identification standard data for each type of “instep” corresponding to the first foot length size identification standard data. It is determined whether the first condition that it is within the allowable range is satisfied or not, and if the first condition is satisfied, the type in which the measurement data of “instep” is within the allowable range is specified. (Step S4). The permissible range of the standard data for type identification for “instep” is specified according to the above definition. For example, when the standard data for identifying the first foot length size is 22.5 cm, the allowable range of the “normal type” standard data and the allowable range of the “slim type” standard data for The allowable range of the standard data of “thin type” is “range greater than 22.0 cm and less than or equal to 25.5 cm”, “range greater than 21.0 cm and less than or equal to 22.0 cm” and “range greater than 19.5 cm and 21.cm. “A range of 0 cm or less”.

  If it is determined in step S4 that the first condition is satisfied (YES in step S5), it is determined whether or not the measurement data for “instep” is equal to or greater than the measurement data for “around”. (Step S6).

  If the measurement data for “instep” is greater than or equal to the measurement data for “around”, the type specified in step S4 is provisionally selected as an appropriate type suitable for the customer's foot shape (step S7). That is, the type obtained from the standard data for type identification of “instep” is temporarily selected as a type suitable for the customer's foot shape. Then, the process proceeds to step S11.

  If it is determined in step S6 that the measurement data for “instep” is smaller than the measurement data for “extended”, the measurement data for “extended” is used as the first foot length size identification standard data. It is determined whether or not the second condition of being within any one of the permissible ranges of the type identification standard data for each type for the corresponding “spanning” is satisfied, If the two conditions are satisfied, a type in which the measurement data of “around” is within the allowable range is specified (step S8). The permissible range of the standard data for type identification for “surrounding” is specified according to the above definition. For example, when the standard data for identifying the first foot length size is 22.5 cm, the allowable range of the “normal type” standard data and the allowable range of the “slender type” standard data The allowable range of the standard data of “thin type” is “range of greater than 22.0 cm and 24.0 cm or less”, “range of greater than 20.0 cm and 22.0 cm or less” and “range of greater than 19.0 cm and 20. “A range of 0 cm or less”.

  When it is determined in step S8 that the second condition is satisfied (YES in step S9), the type specified in step S8 is provisionally selected as a suitable type suitable for the customer's foot shape (step S10). In other words, the type obtained from the type identification standard data for “surrounding” is provisionally selected as a type suitable for the customer's foot shape. Then, the process proceeds to step S11.

  In step S11, the standard identification data for “ankle circumference” corresponding to the first standard data for identifying the foot length size and the standard data corresponding to the type temporarily selected in step S7 or S10 are allowed. It is determined whether or not the third condition that the measurement data of “ankle circumference” is included in the range is satisfied. The allowable range of the standard data for type identification for “ankle circumference” is specified according to the above definition. For example, when the standard data for identifying the first foot length size is 22.5 cm, the allowable range of the “normal type” standard data for the “ankle circumference”, the allowable range of the “slender type” standard data, and The allowable range of the standard data of “thin type” is “range of greater than 22.0 cm and 23.0 cm or less”, “range of greater than 20.5 cm and 21.5 cm or less”, and “greater than 18.0 cm and 19. “A range of 0 cm or less”.

If it is determined in step S11 that the third condition is satisfied,
The reference foot length size corresponding to the first standard data for identifying the foot length size and the type temporarily selected in step S7 or S10 are selected as the reference foot length size and type suitable for the customer's foot shape. Display on the monitor. (Step S12). Then, the process ends.

  If it is determined in step S5 that the first condition is not satisfied, if it is determined in step S9 that the second condition is not satisfied, or if the third condition is not satisfied in step S11. If so, it is determined whether or not the flag F has been reset (step S13). If the flag F is reset, after the flag F is set (F = 1) (step S14), the first foot length size identification standard data is increased by one step in the standard data for foot length size identification. (Step S15). Then, the process returns to step S4. Thereby, the process (reselection process) of step S4-step S13 is performed using the 1st standard data for foot length size identification after updating.

  If it is determined in step S13 that the flag F has been set, a message is displayed indicating that there is no pattern suitable for the customer's foot shape (step S16). Then, the process ends.

  Only when it is determined in step S13 that the flag F has been reset, the first foot length size identification standard data is updated to one step larger size foot length size identification standard data. The reason is that it is allowed to set the first foot length size identification standard data to a size larger by one step with respect to the first foot length size identification standard data selected in step S3. However, it is forbidden to set the standard data for identifying the first foot length size in two large sizes.

  Hereinafter, specific examples will be described.

(1) Specific example 1
A case where the measurement data is as follows will be described.
"Foot length": 22.5cm
"Tensioning": 21.5cm
"Surrounding": 22.0cm
"Ankle circumference": 21.0cm

  First, 22.5 cm is selected as the first standard data for identifying the foot length size. The measured value (22.0 cm) of “instep” is the allowable range (21.0 cm) of “slim type” standard data of “instep” corresponding to the standard data for identifying the first foot length size of 22.5 cm. Larger and within a range of 22.0 cm or less). Since the measured value (22.0 cm) of “instep” is equal to or greater than the measured value (21.5 cm) of “around”, “slender type” is provisionally selected as a type suitable for the customer's foot shape. The standard data of “ankle circumference” corresponding to the standard data for identifying the first foot length size of 22.5 cm, and the allowable range of the “slim type” standard data is larger than 20.5 cm and not larger than 21.5 cm The measurement value (21.0 cm) of “around the ankle” is within the allowable range. Therefore, in this case, 22.5 cm is selected as the reference foot length size suitable for the customer's foot shape, and “slender type” is selected as the type suitable for the customer's foot shape, and displayed.

(2) Specific example 2
A case where the measurement data is as follows will be described.
"Foot length": 22.5cm
"Tension": 23.0cm
"Surrounding": 22.0cm
"Ankle circumference": 22.5cm

  First, 22.5 cm is selected as the first standard data for identifying the foot length size. The measured value (22.0 cm) of “instep” is an allowable range (21.0 cm) of “slim type” standard data of “instep” corresponding to the standard data for identifying the first foot length size of 22.5. Larger and within a range of 22.0 cm or less).

  Since the measured value of “inner circumference” (22.0 cm) is smaller than the measured value of “around” (23.0 cm), the measured value of “around” (23.0 cm) is 22.5 cm. It is determined whether or not it is within the permissible range of the “instep” standard data corresponding to the one leg length size identifying standard data. The measured value (23.0 cm) of “stretching” is an allowable range (22.0 cm) of “standard” standard data of “stretching” corresponding to the standard data for identifying the first foot length size of 22.5 cm. Larger and within a range of 24.0 cm or less). Therefore, “normal” is provisionally selected as a type suitable for the customer's foot shape.

  The standard data of “ankle circumference” corresponding to the standard data for identifying the first foot length size of 22.5 cm, and the allowable range of the “normal type” standard data is greater than 22.0 cm and less than 23.0 cm The measured value (22.5 cm) of “around the ankle” is within the allowable range. Therefore, in this case, 22.5 cm is selected as the reference foot length size suitable for the customer's foot shape, and “normal” is selected as the type suitable for the customer's foot shape, and displayed.

(3) Specific example 3
A case where the measurement data is as follows will be described.
"Foot length": 22.5cm
"Tensioning": 21.5cm
"Surrounding": 22.0cm
"Ankle circumference": 19.0cm

  First, 22.5 cm is selected as the first standard data for identifying the foot length size. The measured value (22.0 cm) of “instep” is the allowable range (21.0 cm) of “slim type” standard data of “instep” corresponding to the standard data for identifying the first foot length size of 22.5 cm. Larger and within a range of 22.0 cm or less). Since the measured value (22.0 cm) of “instep” is equal to or greater than the measured value (21.5 cm) of “around”, “slender type” is provisionally selected as a type suitable for the customer's foot shape.

  The standard data of “ankle circumference” corresponding to the standard data for identifying the first foot length size of 22.5 cm, and the allowable range of the “slim type” standard data is larger than 20.5 cm and not larger than 21.5 cm The measured value of “ankle circumference” (19.0 cm) is not within the allowable range. Therefore, in this case, the standard data for identifying the first foot length size is set to 23.0 cm, which is a size larger by one step.

  The measurement value (22.0 cm) of “instep” is an allowable range (from 21.0 cm) of “thin type” standard data of “instep” corresponding to the standard data for identifying the first foot length size of 23.0 cm. Large and within a range of 22.0 cm or less). Since the measurement value (22.0 cm) of “the instep” is equal to or greater than the measurement value (21.5 cm) of “the tension”, “thin type” is temporarily selected as a type suitable for the foot shape of the customer.

  The standard data of “ankle circumference” corresponding to the standard data for identifying the first foot length size of 23.0 cm, and the allowable range of the standard data of “thin type” is greater than 18.5 cm and less than 19.5 cm The measurement value (19.0 cm) of “around the ankle” is within the allowable range. Therefore, in this case, 23.0 is selected as the reference foot length size suitable for the customer's foot shape, and “narrow” is selected as the type suitable for the customer's foot shape, and displayed.

  In the above embodiment, the pattern is selected using the measurement results of “foot length”, “tightness”, “upper” and “ankle”, but “foot length”, “upholstery” and “upper” are selected. The paper pattern may be selected using the measurement result of “around”. In this case, standard data corresponding to “ankle circumference” is not necessary. In this case, step S11 in FIG. 3 is omitted.

  In addition, since the socks are manufactured based on paper molds, if the foot length and type (normal type, slender type, thin type) suitable for the customer's foot shape are selected, the ready-made items will be based on the selection result. A tabi suitable for the shape of the customer's foot can be selected from the socks. In other words, the above-mentioned tabi type selection process is applicable not only when selecting a paper pattern of a tabi suitable for a customer's foot shape, but also when selecting a ready-made tabi suitable for a customer's foot shape. Can do.

It is a block diagram which shows the structure of the paper type selection system of a tabi. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram for explaining “foot length”, “tightening”, “instep” and “ankle”. It is a flowchart which shows the procedure of the tabi type | mold selection process performed by the tabi type | mold selection apparatus 12. FIG.
