Description

  The present invention relates to a presentation system and a garment presentation method, and more particularly to a garment worn in an operating state that requires quietness, and the quietness in the operating state when the garment is worn is unspecified. The present invention relates to a presentation system and a clothing presentation method.

When purchasing clothes, especially for sports wear, the loudness (silence) generated during the wearer's movement is also a criterion for selection. For example, in golf putting, mental concentration is necessary, but if the sound generated from clothes is loud during the putting operation, the mental concentration may be disturbed by this sound. As golf wear, it is desired that the sound generated during the putting operation and the swing operation is as small as possible.
Among clothes, rainwear has a water repellent finish on clothes fibers and fabrics, and the rubbing sound of clothes generated when the wearer moves is relatively large. Sportswear manufacturers are competing to develop and market rainwear with characteristics that minimize the rubbing noise during operation.

  When the purchaser chooses clothes to purchase, the loudness of the sound that occurs when the wearer moves is different from the design and weight. Cannot intuitively grasp the characteristics. It is possible to experience the volume of the sound during operation if you try on multiple clothes and actually perform the operation while wearing each of the clothes, but it is cumbersome to try on multiple clothes. In many cases, the purchaser does not compare the sounds of the clothes when they actually try on a plurality of clothes.

  Traditionally, sportswear manufacturers and retailers have acquired information on sounds generated from clothing during operation (motion sounds) so that buyers can intuitively understand the quietness of clothing. Sound information is analyzed, and the analysis results are presented to the purchaser as graphs or numerical values. This appeals to the purchaser the quietness of the clothes they provide. For example, the operation sound information is analyzed to present a noise level value of the operation sound, or a frequency analysis graph for representing the magnitude of the high frequency component representing the unpleasantness of the operation sound is presented.

  However, simply presenting such an analysis result does not allow the purchaser to intuitively understand the quietness of the clothes while wearing the clothes. Can not appeal.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a presentation system that can intuitively present the quietness felt by the wearer of the specific clothes to an unspecified number of persons when performing specific operations while wearing the specific clothes. It aims at providing the presentation method of clothes, and.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is a presentation system for presenting the performance of clothes, and includes image information of an operation image representing an operation state of a predetermined operation performed by wearing clothes, and a plurality of different information Storage means for storing sound information of a plurality of different operation sounds generated from each garment in each case where the predetermined motion is performed while wearing each of the clothes, and the image stored in the storage means An operation image display unit that displays an operation image of information, and an operation sound output unit that outputs each of the operation sounds of the plurality of sound information stored in the storage unit in response to an input instruction from the outside, The plurality of sound information stored in the storage means are respectively installed in the ear portions corresponding to the left and right ears of the human head of the dummy head imitating the human head. Stereo sound information acquired by a pair of sound information acquisition means, and the operation sound output means is configured to operate each operation according to an input instruction from the outside in a state where the operation image is displayed on the operation image display means. Provided is a presentation system characterized by presenting silence in the predetermined motion of each garment by outputting each sound in stereo.

  The operation sound output means is preferably stereo sound reproduction means provided with headphones or earphones. The operation sound output means preferably includes a plurality of headphones or earphones, and outputs the operation sounds simultaneously to a plurality of persons wearing the headphones or earphones.

  In addition, it is preferable that the clothes are rainwear subjected to a water repellent finish, and the predetermined operation is a golf swing operation. Further, it is more preferable that the predetermined movement is the golf swing movement or the walking movement.

  The present invention is a garment presentation method that presents the performance of a garment, and includes image information of an operation image representing an operation state of a predetermined operation performed by wearing the garment and a plurality of different garments. When each of the predetermined operations is performed, a storage step for storing sound information of a plurality of different operation sounds generated from each clothing, and an operation image of the image information stored in the storage step are displayed. And an output step for outputting operation sounds of the plurality of sound information stored in the storage step in response to an input instruction from the outside, respectively, and the plurality of sound information stored in the storage step are respectively By means of a pair of sound information acquisition means installed on each of the ear parts corresponding to the left and right ears of a dummy head imitating the human head. Stereo sound information acquired in the above-described manner, and the output step outputs each operation sound in stereo according to an input instruction from the outside in a state in which the operation image is displayed, so A method for presenting clothes characterized by presenting quietness in movement is also provided.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to appeal the quietness of the clothes provided by itself to an unspecified number of persons without actually trying on clothes.

The presentation system and the clothing presentation method of the present invention will be described in detail below.
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram illustrating a presentation system 10 (referred to as a system 10) that performs presentation of golf rainwear (wear) that has been subjected to water-repellent processing, which is an example of the presentation system of the present invention. It is. The system 10 generates silence for a specific golf rain wear (hereinafter referred to as specific wear) during a golf swing operation performed by wearing the specific wear (that is, generated in the golf swing operation). Implemented so that presenters such as wear makers (sides that make presentations) appeal to unspecified number of presenters (sides that receive presentations) such as sellers and general purchasers. It is a system used in a presentation. For example, it is installed in a place where an unspecified number of people (presentees) come and go, such as exhibitions and sales outlets, and makes presentations to appeal to the unspecified number of presenters about the quietness of clothes. .

  The system 10 is output from a PC 20, a notebook personal computer 20 (hereinafter referred to as a PC 20) including a main body 22 provided with a keyboard 21 for receiving an instruction input from the outside, and a display 24 serving as a display means. And a plurality of headphones 30 connected to the digital amplifier 28. The digital amplifier 28 amplifies the output of digital audio data to be described later. The main body 22 of the PC 20 is provided with storage means (memory) and a CPU (not shown), and the main body 22 is connected to a mouse 26 for receiving an instruction input from the outside.

  The main body 22 of the PC 20 acquires operation image information input from the outside via an external interface such as a USB port and stores it in a memory (not shown). Here, the motion image information is image information of an image representing each motion state during the two specific motions of the golf swing motion and the walking motion while wearing the specific wear to be presented. . Similarly, a plurality of pieces of operation sound information input from the outside are also acquired and stored in a memory (not shown). Each of the plurality of operation sound information includes sound information of sounds generated from the wear during the specific operation when each specific operation is performed by wearing each of the plurality of wears including at least the specific wear to be presented It is. In response to an external instruction input from the keyboard 21 or mouse 26, the PC 20 executes a presentation execution program data (execution program data), which will be described later, stored in the memory by a CPU (not shown), whereby the image of the image information is displayed. Is displayed on the display 24, and the stored digital data of the plurality of operation sound information (operation sound digital data) is output to the digital amplifier 28 at a predetermined timing according to an operation instruction from the outside.

  The main body 22 of the PC 20 previously stores execution program data for displaying predetermined image data on the display 24 of the PC 20 or outputting predetermined audio data at a predetermined timing according to an operation instruction from the outside. Software having an execution program data execution function for execution is stored. By executing this software, the PC 20 displays the image of the operation image information on the display 24 of the PC 20 and outputs the operation sound information at a predetermined timing according to an operation instruction from the outside. The software has a program data creation function for creating the execution program data in addition to the execution function of the execution program data. The PC 20 executes the software to input an instruction from the operator. In response to this, desired execution program data is created. The PC 20 is not limited to being a notebook PC, and may be a desktop PC or the like. However, in order to give presentations to as many people as possible, the PC 20 can be easily moved at an exhibition or a store. It is preferable that the PC 20 is a notebook personal computer.

  With such motion image information and motion sound information stored in the PC 20 and presentation execution program data created and stored, the system 10 is installed in an exhibition, a store, etc. for presentation. carry out. When the presentation is performed, the person to be presented wears the headphones 30 (the presenter asks the person to be presented to wear the headphones 30).

The digital amplifier 28 amplifies and outputs the operation sound digital data output from the PC 20. The digital amplifier 28 includes a plurality of output ports, and outputs the operation sound information simultaneously to the plurality of headphones 30 connected via the plurality of output ports. As will be described later, the operation sound information is stereo sound data, and the headphones 30 perform stereo reproduction of the stereo sound data of the operation sound information.
In this way, the system 10 displays an image representing each specific operation state on the display 24, and when each specific operation is performed while wearing a plurality of pieces of wear, the system 10 generates from the wear during each specific operation. Each operation sound information is output from the headphones 30. Thereby, it is possible to have each person to be presented wearing headphones listen to the sound information output from the headphones while presenting the image on the display 24. This makes it possible for each of the plurality of presentees to intuitively understand what kind of sound is generated when each of the plurality of wears is worn and each operation state is performed. The operation of the system 10 will be described in detail later.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a method for acquiring the operation sound information and the operation image information stored in the PC 20 of the system 10. As described above, the operation sound information acquired and stored by the PC 20 includes at least specific wear that appeals quietness, and when performing specific operations while wearing a plurality of pieces of wear, during each specific operation This is information on operation sounds generated from clothes. The operation sound information is acquired by recording each sound information generated when the operator 40 performs a specific operation by wearing a plurality of pieces of wear in the anechoic chamber by the binaural recording system 50. It is data. That is, the operation sound information is obtained when the operator 40 sequentially wears a plurality of pieces of wear in an anechoic chamber and performs two specific actions of a golf swing action and a walking action in each state of wearing each piece of wear. Each of the operation sound information is data obtained by recording with the binaural recording system 50. Here, the anechoic chamber is a general anechoic chamber used for acoustic measurement, in which walls, ceilings, and floors are lined with a sound-absorbing material having a sound absorption coefficient close to 1, and almost no sound waves are reflected.

  The binaural recording system 50 is configured such that a noise microphone 54 is provided at a location corresponding to the entrance portion of the ear canal of a dummy head 52 simulating a human head. The noise microphone 54 is a known noise microphone that receives sound wave information (change in sound pressure) of an operation sound generated when the operator 40 performs a specific operation in an anechoic chamber and converts the sound into an electric signal. Here, the motion sound is mostly a sound component generated by rubbing clothes in a specific motion. In the binaural recording system 50, when a microphone is set at the entrance portion of the ear canal of the dummy head 52 imitating a human head, the head of an arbitrary person is positioned at the same position as the dummy head 52. In addition, the noise microphone 54 can receive sound information similar to the sound information that reaches the person's ear canal entrance. As a result, when the head of an arbitrary person is positioned at the same position as the dummy head 52, the noise microphone 54 can acquire an electrical signal representing sound information that is substantially the same as the specific operation sound information heard by the person. it can. In the binaural recording system 50, noise microphones 54 are provided in portions corresponding to the left and right ears of the dummy head 52, and sound information is acquired (stereo recording) in each microphone.

  The electrical signal of the sound information acquired by the noise microphone 54 is sent to the microphone amplifier 56. The microphone amplifier 56 amplifies the electrical signal of the sound wave information acquired by the noise microphone 54 and sends it to the main body 22 of the PC 20. The main body 22 of the PC 20 takes in the electrical signal obtained by the noise microphone 54 of the binaural recording system 50 by sampling (sampling frequency 30 kHz to 100 kHz), and uses the obtained vibration waveform data as operation sound information (not shown above). Store in the storage means. The operation sound information stored in the main unit 22 of the PC 20 is not limited to being acquired by the PC 20 directly connected to the microphone amplifier 56. For example, the microphone amplifier 56 is connected to another PC other than the PC 20 that performs the presentation, the operation sound information is stored in the other PC, and the operation sound information is newly transmitted from the other PC to the PC 20 that performs the presentation. , The PC 20 may acquire and store the operation sound information. Further, the operation sound information may be stored in a predetermined storage medium such as a removable disk, and the PC 20 may receive the operation sound information from this storage medium. The means by which the PC 20 acquires operating sound information is not particularly limited.

The operation image information acquired and stored by the PC 20 is, as described above, each operation state during the two specific operations of the golf swing operation and the walking operation while wearing the specific wear that is the subject of presentation. This is image information of an image representing. Such image information is stored in the digital still camera 58 (DSC 58) so that at least the operator 40 enters the shooting range while the operator 40 is wearing the specific wear in the anechoic room and performing the specific operation. ) Is still image data acquired by shooting. The DSC 58 is connected to the main unit 22 of the PC 20 with, for example, a USB cable, and sends image information (operation image information) of an image captured by the DSC 58 to the main unit 22. The main body 22 stores the received operation image information in a memory (not shown).
The operation image information stored in the main unit 22 of the PC 20 is not limited to being acquired by the PC 20 directly connected to the DSC 58. For example, the DSC 58 is connected to another PC other than the PC 20 that performs the presentation, the operation image information is stored in the other PC, and the operation image information is sent again from the other PC to the PC 20 that performs the presentation. Thus, the PC 20 may acquire and store the operation image information. Further, the operation image information may be stored in a predetermined storage medium such as a removable disk, and the PC 20 may receive the operation image information from this storage medium. The means by which the PC 20 acquires the operation image information is not particularly limited.

  Hereinafter, the quietness of the operation sound during the golf swing operation and walking performed by wearing the specific wear, which is performed in such a system 10 (that is, the smallness of the operation sound generated during the golf swing operation and walking). The method of presentation of clothes to appeal Hereinafter, in order to appeal the quietness of rainwear A, which is specific wear, the difference between the quietness of this rainwear A and the quietness of the three types of rainwear, rainwear B, rainwear C, and rainwear D Will be described as an example in the case of presenting to an unspecified number of persons (presentees).

  First, as described above, for each case where the operator 40 wears the rainwear of each of the rainwear A to D and performs the golf swing operation and the walking operation in the anechoic chamber, the operation sound information for each case The operation image information is acquired and stored in a memory (not shown) of the main body 22 of the PC 20. The PC 20 executes the program data creation function of the software to create desired presentation execution program data in response to an instruction input from the operator. Then, the PC 20 executes the execution program data, thereby displaying the image of the operation image information on the display 24 of the PC 20 and outputting the operation sound information at a predetermined timing according to an operation instruction from the outside.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen displayed on the display 24 when the execution program data is executed in the PC 20. On the display 24, an image 62 and an image 64, which are images of operation image information, are displayed. The image 62 is an image of motion image information when the operator 40 wearing the rainwear A, which is the specific wear, performs the golf swing operation, that is, the state in which the operator 40 performs the golf swing operation in the anechoic chamber. Is an image of image data obtained by photographing with the DSC 58. The image 64 is an image of motion image information when the operator 40 wearing the rainwear A, which is specific wear, performs a walking motion, that is, a state in which the operator 40 performs the walking motion in an anechoic chamber. The image of the image data obtained by photographing with the DSC 58. The operator 40 and the dummy head 52 are displayed in the image 62 and the image 64, respectively.

  A table 74 is displayed on the display screen of the display 24. In this table 74, a plurality of character images representing each operation state and a plurality of icons are arranged in a matrix, and each icon is displayed corresponding to each character image. That is, icons 68a to 68d are provided in association with the character image “swing” representing the swing motion state, and icons 72a to 72d are provided in association with the character image “walking” representing the walking state. ing. The icons 68a to 68d are also arranged in association with the character images of the sample names of the rainwear A to the rainwear D, respectively. The icons 72a to 72d are also arranged in association with the character images of the sample names of the rainwear A to the rainwear D, respectively. Each icon is associated with operation sound information in an associated operation state with an associated sample name. When the operator operates the mouse 26 or the keyboard 21 to select each icon, the PC 20 simultaneously outputs operation sound information associated with the selected icon to the plurality of headphones 30 via the digital amplifier 28. . Each icon is selected in accordance with an instruction (so-called GUI << graphical user interface >>) given by the operator operating the PC 20 while looking at the screen of the display 24.

  For example, when the icon 68 a is selected, the PC 20 outputs operation sound information when the operator 40 wears the rainwear A and performs a swing operation to the headphones 30. For example, when the icon 72d is selected, the PC 20 outputs the operation sound information when the operator 40 wears the rainwear D and performs the walking operation to the headphones 30. Thus, by selecting each icon, the person wearing the headphones 30 can be made to hear the operation sound when wearing the rainwear A to the rainwear D, respectively. The person wearing the headphones 30 can relatively compare each of the operation sounds when wearing a plurality of rainwear.

Operation sound is output from the headphones 30 in stereo. As described above, the operation sound corresponding to the icon is stereo-output from the headphones, so that the head of the person wearing the headphones substantially matches the position of the dummy head 52 when the operation sound is acquired. It is possible to hear a sound substantially equivalent to the operation sound that can be heard when the user is in the position. The display 24 displays an image representing the operation state of the operator when each operation sound information is acquired, and the person wearing the headphones 30 can determine what operation the sound he / she has just heard. It is possible to intuitively understand whether the sound is in a state. Furthermore, both the operator 40 and the dummy head 52 are shown in the operation state images 62 and 64 representing the respective operation states displayed on the display 24. When a person wearing headphones sees this image, the sound that he / she is currently listening to is the sound that can be heard with the movement position of the subject (that is, the position where the movement sound is generated). It can be grasped intuitively.
In this way, the actual operation sound when the swing operation is performed is heard by the person to be presented, so that it is difficult to intuitively understand each piece of wear with the analysis result obtained as a numerical value by frequency analysis etc. You can intuitively understand the sound quality you feel when you wear the. As a result, it is possible for the presentee to easily understand the sensory characteristics of the operation sound such as “noisiness felt during operation” that is difficult to express quantitatively as a numerical value.
Here, the operator who operates the PC 20 to select an icon is not particularly limited, and may be a presenter (side who performs the presentation) who makes a presentation and appeals the quietness of specific wear, Further, it may be any person of the person to be presented (side receiving the presentation) to be appealed.

  In addition to the image 62 and the image 64 that are the images of the operation image information, the display 24 displays the rubbing sound obtained by conducting the rubbing sound test using the respective fabrics of the rainwear A to the rainwear D. A spectrum waveform graph 68 obtained by frequency analysis of sound information and a test state image 66 obtained by photographing a rubbing sound test are also displayed. Thus, the spectrum waveform graph 68 is displayed, so that a person who sees the graph 68 can qualitatively and quantitatively understand the magnitude and quality of the sound generated from each piece of wear. . In addition, by displaying the test state image 66 together with the graph 68, it is possible to grasp in what test state the sound information subjected to frequency analysis in the graph 68 is acquired.

  In the above-described embodiment, the PC 20 is installed at an exhibition or a store, and a presentation is performed. However, the presentation method of the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. For example, in a terminal (PC) operated by a presenter who has stored motion image information, motion sound information, and a presentation execution program in a server connected to the Internet and has accessed the server via the Internet. A presentation for the person to be presented may be performed by executing the execution program. According to the present invention, the presenter can also appeal the quietness of the specific wear to an unspecified number of persons via the Internet in this way.

  As mentioned above, although the presentation method for appealing the quietness of specific golf rainwear was demonstrated, the clothing (wear) which appeals the quietness by the clothing presentation method of the present invention is not particularly limited. The garment presentation method of the present invention is particularly preferably used for appealing quietness to an unspecified number of persons for clothes worn for uses that require a high degree of quietness in a specific action.

  As mentioned above, the presentation system and the clothing presentation method of the present invention have been described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various improvements and modifications are made without departing from the gist of the present invention. Of course it is also good.
