When the information terminal 90 reads the identification symbol 82b, the information terminal 90 transmits the product code specified by the identification symbol 82b to the information management server 81.

<3. Guidance and try-on flow>
FIGS. 11 and 12 are flowcharts showing the flow of guidance and fitting in the fitting system 2 described above. FIG. 11 mainly shows the stage of guidance to the fitting room unit 1, and FIG. 12 mainly shows the stage of fitting in the fitting room unit 1.

  In this try-on system 2, information on a plurality of products P is first provided to the user by the information medium 82 (step S1). The user confirms the information provided by the information medium 82 and selects the product P for which try-on is desired (step S2).

  When the user selects the product P, the user inputs the identification symbol 82b of the product P from the information medium 82 to the information terminal 90 (step S3). As described above, the identification symbol 82b is input by mechanical reading or manual input. The information terminal 90 transmits a product code corresponding to the input identification symbol to the information management server 81 (step S4). At this time, the information terminal 90 also transmits the information on the transmission area together with the product code to the information management server 81. The information on the calling area may be input by the user via the information terminal 90, or may be automatically specified by the calling area specifying function of the mobile phone.

  When the information management server 81 receives the product code and the transmission area information from the information terminal 90, the information management server 81 searches for the fitting room unit 1 based on the information (step S5). Specifically, first, referring to the data 81a stored in the information management server 81, the fitting room units 1 storing the products P corresponding to the received product codes are narrowed down. Then, referring to the data 81b and the transmission area information, the fitting room unit 1 closest to the transmission area is determined from the narrowed fitting room units 1. When the search for the fitting room unit 1 is completed, the information management server 81 transmits the search result to the information terminal 90 on the user side (step S6). At this time, the information management server 81 transmits information such as the location, telephone number, and map of the searched fitting room unit 1 together with the search result. The user confirms the information received by the information terminal 90 and moves to the designated fitting room unit 1 (step S7).

  When the user arrives at the fitting room unit 1, the user enters the fitting part 10 through the entrance door 51. Then, the product code of the desired product P is input by operating the operation panel 42 (step S8). The product code input from the operation panel 42 is transmitted to the computer 43, and the computer 43 releases the lock portion 41c of the drawer portion 41 in which the product P corresponding to the product code is stored (step S9).

  When the lock part 41c is released, the user pulls out the drawer part 41 and takes out the product P stored in the drawer plate 41b (step S10). The user tries on the picked-up product P, and confirms the appearance of the tried-on self on the half mirrors 11 and 12. Then, the cameras 22 and 32 are operated from the operation panel 42 to photograph the self-fitted figure (step S11). An image obtained by photographing is transmitted from the cameras 22 and 32 to the computer 43 and stored in the computer 43 (step S12). Thereafter, the user takes off the product P and stores it in the original drawer 41 (step S13). The user closes the curtain 13 and shields the half mirrors 11 and 12 when changing clothes.

  When the user normally stores the product P, the storage sensor 68 provided in the drawer 41 detects the IC tag 67 attached to the product P, and the computer 43 recognizes that the product P is stored. In this state, when the user pushes the drawer part 41 back, the lock part 41c is locked (step S14). In this way, the try-on of one product P is completed.

  When the fitting of one product P is completed, the user determines whether to try on another product P (step S15). When trying on another product P, the process returns to step S8, and steps S8 to S14 are similarly executed for the other product P. On the other hand, when other products P are not tried on, it is subsequently determined whether or not virtual try-on is performed (step S16). When performing virtual try-on, the operation panel 42 is operated to input the product code of the product P for which virtual try-on is desired (step S17). When the computer 43 receives the product code input from the operation panel 42, the computer 43 reads an image of the product P corresponding to the product code. Then, the image of the product P and the user image acquired in step S12 are combined and displayed on the operation panel 42 (step S18). Thereby, the user can confirm the appearance of the user who tried on the desired product P without actually changing clothes.

  If it is determined in step S16 that virtual fitting is not to be performed, or if an image is displayed on the operation panel 42 in step S18, then the user determines whether to output an image. (Step S19). When outputting an image, a predetermined operation is performed from the operation panel, and the image obtained in step S12 or step S18 is output to the printer 44 (step S20). Note that the image may be output by a method other than printout. For example, image data may be written to a predetermined storage medium or information terminal 90 and provided to the user. As this method, a slot for mounting a storage medium or information terminal 90 is provided on the operation panel 42 and image data is directly transferred, or the image data is attached to an e-mail or the like and sent to the user's address. You may do it.

  If it is determined in step S19 that image output is not performed, or if image output is completed in step S20, the user subsequently determines whether or not to order the product P ( Step S21). When ordering a product, the user inputs predetermined information on the operation panel 42 and performs an ordering process (step S22). The information input on the operation panel 42 is temporarily stored in the computer 43 and transmitted from the computer 43 to the seller of the product P through a predetermined line. The seller of the product P performs order processing based on the received information and delivers the designated product P to the user.

  When it is determined in step S21 that the product P is not ordered, or when the ordering process is terminated in step S22, a series of operations in the fitting system 2 is terminated, and the user leaves the fitting room unit 1. .

  In such a fitting room unit 1, the user can take out the desired product P by operating the operation panel 42 within the fitting part 10. Further, the user can take a picture of himself / herself wearing the product P by operating the operation panel 42. For this reason, it is not necessary to exchange with the store clerk at each stage of renting out products, trying on, and photographing, and the mental burden on the user is reduced. In addition, the burden on customer service is reduced and labor costs can be reduced.

  In the try-on system 2 described above, the user selects the product P based on the information provided by the information medium 82. For this reason, it is not necessary to exchange with the store clerk at the stage of selecting the product P, and the mental burden on the user is reduced. Moreover, the user can confirm the fitting room unit 1 in which the selected product P is stored by communication with the information management server. For this reason, the location of the selected product P can be reached efficiently.
