Description

  The present invention relates to a fashion advertising system.

Recently, products that are mass-produced such as books, foods, and daily necessities have been traded through the Internet, and are replacing some of the conventional distribution channels. These make it easy for the customer to understand the contents of the product in advance using images, explanations, etc. When re-purchasing the same product, it is only necessary to specify the product number, for example.
For example, a manufacturer of clothing or a mail-order dealer displays the appearance of shirts, sweaters, slacks, etc. on a mail-order catalog or monitor screen, and specifies a rough size and several colors such as L, M, and S. In addition, the method of receiving purchase orders is adopted. However, fashion products and services such as clothing, cosmetics, and hairstyles cannot satisfy the customer's demands sufficiently because their physical characteristics are originally different for each customer. In addition, customers need to decide their own products from a small amount of information and cannot receive reliable and professional advice.

  On the other hand, custom-made that provides product creation and beauty services after measuring the body size, skin color, etc., and receiving appropriate advice from specialists accordingly, is an ideal but complicated work process. In addition, management work is also required, and this tends to be expensive. Also, when searching for products etc. on a single manufacturer's product introduction site or service institution's service introduction site, the types that can be selected are limited, so the customer will access multiple manufacturers' sites and compare them. ,It takes time and effort. In addition, the size range may vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer, so first-time manufacturers tend to be shunned.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a fashion advising system that can solve the above-mentioned problems and can give professional and reliable advice to customers. Furthermore, the present invention can present a customer with products and services selected from a large number of product groups or service groups based on the advice, and can provide products or services to customers relatively easily. The technical issue is to provide an Ising system.

Is preferred. In this case, it is preferable that the input device includes an image data creation device and the output device includes an image output device. More preferably, the first database device outputs fashion contents based on a usage environment together with physical characteristics.

  The fashion advising system of the present invention is a database device, which is a reference as fashion data that matches the characteristics of a body part that has been input, in particular, based on physical characteristics such as face color, body shape, and face shape. The second storage means stores fashion contents such as colors, clothes lines, and things to wear. When this fashion data is presented to the customer as it is, it itself becomes highly specialized advice.

  Further, in the fashion advising system provided with the second database device, the data of the store providing the fashion content is output based on the data of the fashion content. As a result, the customer can directly know at which store the product or service can be purchased. Customers can place orders via a communication line, etc., and if there is a stock of goods, they can visit the store to check the actual products and try on them. As a result, the customer can receive professional advice and can lead to prompt purchase.

  On the other hand, for a company managing an advertising system, when entering information of a large number of stores in the second database in advance, it is possible to receive profits by registering members from each store, and in some cases, It is also possible to allow a system administrator to pay a certain fee when a product is purchased and earned.

  If the physical feature is the color of a part of the body, the fashion content is the base color of what the wearer wears, and the store is a retailer or manufacturer of the wearable item, the customer has a specialized color Coordinate advice can be received. In that case, for example, it is preferable that the skin color of the face is pointed out in an easy-to-understand classification such as blue or pink, and advice is given on the color tone of the basic color according to the combination of multiple colors. The customer can then select what he / she wants to wear while referring to his / her specialized advice, and he / she can purchase it quickly and satisfactorily as desired.

  When the database device outputs fashion contents based on the usage environment together with physical characteristics, appropriate advice can be received for each usage environment. In other words, in fashion relations, a preferred series of fashions is assumed for each use environment such as formal, dress-up, sporty, outdoor, urban, etc. However, if data is stored separately for each use environment, Advise on fashion-related products and services that correspond appropriately to Furthermore, it is possible to promptly provide information on appropriate stores according to the usage environment, such as formal clothing stores, sporting goods stores, and costume rental stores. Hereinafter, embodiments of the system of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the advising system of the present invention together with related communication lines. When a physical feature is input, the system 10 outputs a first database device 11 that outputs fashion content data that matches the feature, and the fashion content data that is output from the first database device 11. It is comprised from the 2nd database apparatus 12 which outputs the data of the shop which provides the fashion content. The first database device 11 is connected to a communication line 14 such as the Internet via an input / output unit 13. The communication line 14 is connected to a communication terminal 15 of a general customer or a communication terminal 16 provided in a department store, a cosmetic or clothing store, a beauty salon, and the like. The communication terminal is connected to a body feature input device 17 such as a camera and the like. Input devices such as a keyboard and mouse are connected.

  On the other hand, the second database device 12 is connected to the communication line 14 such as the Internet described above via the output unit 12a. The communication line 14 is connected to communication terminals 21, 22, and 23 such as a store that sells clothing, a store that sells cosmetics, or a beauty salon that provides beauty services (hereinafter simply referred to as a store). These communication terminals are connected to a computer 24 for order receipt / shipment management and inventory management at the store. In addition, the code | symbol 25 of FIG. 1 shows the goods shipped to a customer from a store imagely.

  An example of the body feature input device 17 is a digital still camera 26 shown in FIG. 2a. In front of the digital still camera 26, a chair 28 for a customer 27 whose physical characteristics are detected is placed, and a sample sheet 29 serving as a reference for adjusting color and size is provided on the rear wall. It is pasted. The sample sheet 29 is, for example, a sheet (for example, paper) on which a plurality of reference colors are printed or scales are printed.

  When the customer is an individual, the digital still camera 26 photographs his / her face and sample sheet 29, and the image data is sent from the communication terminal 15 such as a personal computer via the communication line 14 of FIG. The data is sent to the first database device 11. Usually, the customer is registered as a member in advance, and the advisory system 10 is accessed by the member code, and image data is sent together with predetermined application data. It is also possible to take a picture of the upper body or standing up, create upper body data or whole body data, and send the image data. Further, when the advising system 10 supports, pseudo-three-dimensional data may be created by a digital video camera and the data may be sent.

  FIG. 2b shows an example of a three-dimensional image creation device 31 as a body feature input device. The device 31 includes a turntable 32, a digital still camera 33 that is movable in the vertical direction, and a device (not shown) that operates them synchronously. In addition, you may make it rotate a camera around the customer 27 who is a measuring object person. The device 31 can take an image of the customer 27 taken from an angle of almost 360 degrees for each height, and can create a three-dimensional image of the customer's head and whole body. Such a large measuring apparatus is installed in advance in an advertising corner provided in a large retail store such as a department store by a system administrator, for example, and creates data of customers who have visited. The created data is sent to the first database device 11 of the advertising system 10 via the communication line 14 such as the Internet as in the case of FIG. 2a. Such an advertising corner can be used not only as an application window and a measurement window, but also as a product delivery window and a fee payment window. And, the customer satisfaction can be enhanced by synergizing with the sales of the original product. However, it can also be a store with only an advertising service independent of the retail industry, and can also be added to the photo studio.

  Next, an outline of the first database device 11 will be described with reference to FIG. The first database device 11 is constituted by a part of a server, for example. The data that displays the body features that are input from the input / output unit 13 is divided into image data, text data, or conceptual data by the data analysis unit 40, and is digitized or stored with a classification code for each category. Is done. In addition to physical features, personal information such as customer personality, atmosphere, and lifestyle can be entered and stored in word or numerical form. Such personal information is stored together with, for example, a code number so that it can be called immediately when accessed from a customer. It is used repeatedly whenever a new request for advice is received from a customer. However, the personal information may be updated every time or periodically.

  These words or digitized personal data are classified, converted into processed data such as clothing shape, size, and color data of suitability by the next associating unit 41 and stored in the data storage unit 42. . The original image data, numerical data, and conceptual data are also stored in the data storage unit 42 as they are. When selecting clothing based on personal data, the customer should select the use environment, such as whether it is formal or casual, the season to use, whether it is in the room, whether it is out-of-doors or outdoor, and give appropriate advice accordingly Send information to the customer's terminal and present it.

  In addition, the matching evaluation and the matching of the color matching the customer's skin and hair or eye color, the combination of the color and shape of the main clothing that matches the color, the combination of related clothing and accessories combined with the main clothing, etc. Coordinate evaluation is performed and converted to advice information in some cases. The determined color, shape, evaluation, and advice information are stored in the data storage unit 42. As will be described later, such data conversion is substantially the same as judgment and advice made by an expert such as clothing, color, hairstyle, and style, or judgment made by a specialized color coordinator. That is, an expert uses a computer to calculate and present substantially the same process as creating meaningful advice information based on a combination of specific data using various tables and mathematical formulas.

  In creating advice information, not only is it created by a single input and calculation, but also presents a plurality of choices in the middle of the advice information, the customer selects from there, and based on that, the second advice information is presented As shown, it is preferable to create final total coordinate information by repeating many times. When presenting a plurality of options, it may be presented together with the evaluation score. The order of matching evaluation described above is determined in order, such as clothing that is close to the face, such as shirts and jackets, and skirts and pants that match colors and shapes. Is preferred. However, depending on the customer's wishes etc., pants and skirts can be selected first, and jackets etc. can be presented based on them. In determining each item, it is preferable to first present a plurality of types from the computer and allow the customer to select a desired one from colors, patterns, shapes, or combinations thereof. In either case, customer satisfaction can be increased by allowing the customer to select.

  Instead of making a judgment based on only one product, it is possible to present a total fashion image in a combined state and evaluate it based on it. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a fashion that is particularly well balanced. As the evaluation, self-evaluation based on the customer's sensibility using the combination image, professional, objective or numerical evaluation using a computer, and evaluation combining them can be performed. It is preferable that the order is narrowed down to several points in advance by evaluation by a computer, and finally determined by the customer based on the image.

  For customers who are not very familiar with clothing selection, for example, “urban” and “wild”, we will present some standard models of total fashion for each concept, based on what you like. In addition, it is possible to adopt a method of arranging personal items such as clothing, ties, watches, and shoes in order.

  Even if the skin color of the same face, there are many shades such as yellowish skin color, reddish skin, pale skin. A color scheme that enhances the face is selected as the color that matches it. Even in the same orange, there are several or tens of shades, such as yellowish orange, strong reddish orange, and calm orange with reduced vividness. Even in blue, there are many colors such as clean blue, dull blue, and deep blue. Therefore, it is preferable to select in advance a personal computer that suits the personal information and to display the face color image and the color sample side by side on the screen and let the customer decide. Furthermore, it is preferable to select the color of the face, the color of the hair, the color of the eyes, and the like together.

  The advice data created and determined as described above can be sent to the customer as it is to complete the advertising service. In that case, since useful advice data is provided to the customer, the customer can be charged directly. However, in the advertising system of the present invention, it is important to inform the customer of information on stores and service institutions that can receive specific clothing and fashion services in the second database device 12 based on those data. It is said. That is, the second database device 12 in FIG. 3b includes a store information storage unit 44 for registering and storing product / service data such as clothes, hairstyles, and cosmetics and store information that can provide them, and a first database. A search unit 45 that searches store information based on fashion advice information sent from the apparatus 11 and an output unit 12a that transmits the obtained store information to a customer are provided.

  The merchandise / service data includes not only merchandise data in stock but also various data such as pattern data or software for converting into pattern data based on customer body information. The advice information is sent to the customer communication terminal 15 together with the specific store information via the first database device 11 of FIG. 1 or directly on the communication line 14. The customer who receives the information makes a judgment by looking at the advice information, and if he / she likes it, the purchase of the product or service is motivated based on the store information. The more accurate the advice information, the more reliable the store information, and the higher the possibility of purchasing a product or receiving a service from the store 1.

  The actual purchase behavior or the reservation behavior for receiving the service is, for example, an order (including service reservation) or a reservation through a communication line such as the Internet. These orders are assumed to be through the advertising system 10. It can also be a direct order. In the former case, it is easy for the administrator of the advertising system 10 to grasp the order status, and it becomes easy to charge a fee from a store or the like. In the latter case, charging may be performed based on a transaction completion notification from the store. In addition to charging for each transaction, the store can charge according to the contents at the time of member registration and product registration. In addition to being delivered directly to customers via courier, etc., products can also be delivered at the store's advising corner, as described above.

  Next, an actual data processing flow and an example of advice information will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a questionnaire sheet for a personal image that is initially sent to a customer. This questionnaire sheet 50 is sent to the customer through the communication line, and the customer writes the character data and sends it back to the system administrator, actually the first database device (see reference numeral 11 in FIG. 1). In addition, when using the communication terminal 1 (symbol 16 in FIG. 1) installed in a department store or the like, it is more objective and appropriate that the operator entrusting the operation of the physical information measuring device writes it. Data is obtained.

  The questionnaire sheet 50 is provided with a customer's entire body column 51, a facial column 52, and columns 53, 54, and 55 for speech expression, mental aspect, occupation, and the like. Specific items 56 are described in the form of adjectives for each column, so that various data can be obtained only by checking by the customer or the operator. For example, in the body column 51, the items of “body type”, “height”, and “face type” are more finely divided, and if it is a body type, check items such as “thin / middle / fat” are further added. I give it. As a result, customers and operators can easily write. However, it is subjective data, and it should be noted that it tends to be biased to the desired items rather than actual. If this point is noted, it is useful as a secondary criterion for advice information.

  In order to make it more objective, for possible matters, data may be collected based on, for example, images taken with a still camera or a video camera, or customer voices recorded through a microphone. Whether it is formal, casual, sporty, night, day, indoor wear, whether it ’s mostly indoors, outdoors, or the season you use is spring, summer, autumn, winter, etc. Also, it is preferable to answer questions and convert the answers into data.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a line type 57 that is classified into three types by the first database device based on an image collected by a still camera or a video camera. The line type 57 is an important factor in selecting clothes as well as the color of the skin of the face. The line type is selected for the face data 58 and the body data 59, respectively. In this screen, the face data 58 and the body shape data 59 are combined and displayed together, but they may be displayed separately. The face data 58 is classified into, for example, “square shape (58a)” having an angular feeling, “round shape (58b)” having roundness, and “intermediate type (58c)” in between. The body shape data 59 is classified based on the balance data between the upper body and the lower body. Here, there is little waist constriction and a “square shape (59a)” in the image of a stretched shoulder, “round shape (59b)” when the waist constriction is large and the upper body and lower body each have a volume, It is classified into “intermediate type (59c)”. Both the face data 58 and the body type data 59 can be further finely classified.

  Furthermore, it is preferable to display an exemplary image 60 of clothes for inflating an image in association with the image data. In the case where the body shape is a square 58a, a one-piece dress with a solid line is proposed, and in the case of a round shape 58b, a combination of a blouse with an inflated side and a skirt that widens is proposed. Since these lines have different impressions depending on whether the colors are clear or calm, it is preferable to present them in various colors.

  FIG. 6 shows advice information such as a neck line 61, a pattern 62, a clothes line 63, and a cloth material type 64 based on the face data 58 and the body data 59. Such advice information is determined based on a specific arithmetic expression or a comparison table, and is marked in the proposal column 65 on the right side. For example, in the "neck line", the sharp lines where the left and right collar lines intersect, the straight "straight" at a normal angle, the "soft curve" that is somewhat curved, and the "curve" that is gently curved One of the five types is proposed. The screen of FIG. 6 may be called from the screen of FIG. 5 with a button, or may be a screen that is not shown to the customer. An arithmetic expression or a comparison table is created in advance by a fashion expert and stored in the first database device. Other fashion advice information includes the color, shape and size of accessories, glasses, watches, and other items to be worn, or the color and shape of bags and shoes.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a measurement data entry column 66 and a pattern width entry column 67 for each part of the customer's body. For the pattern, for example, the stripe with the width set in the entry field 67 is displayed over the entire image 68 of the skirt, and after the image is clarified, the width of a suitable stripe is proposed as advice information to the customer. Let the customer choose. The stripe image may be changed continuously like zooming. In that case, it is preferable to add the numerical value of the suitability according to the body shape data, and this can be used as an index when the customer selects. An arithmetic expression for calculating a suitable stripe width according to the body shape and physical measurement value is prepared in advance by an expert and is stored in the first database device. Note that a parameter to be changed according to the fashion may be provided in the arithmetic expression, and the parameter may be changed while maintaining the overall balance according to the fashion change.

  FIG. 8 is a screen for selecting a fabric pattern. Recommended patterns such as geometric patterns 69, floral patterns 70, various stripes 71, and animal prints 72 are marked and displayed to the customer. Even if the color of the same pattern is different, the impression will be different, and even if the main color is the same, depending on the color included in the pattern, for example, the shirt and trousers may be balanced or unbalanced, so the same pattern and different colors Also present things. Information and information to be presented together with the recommended degree of these patterns and colors are advice information.

  FIG. 9 shows an example in which the face portion of FIG. 5 is further finely classified. In addition to the round shape 58b and the intermediate die 58c, a triangle 58d, an inverted triangle 58e, and a rhombus 58f are added. Further, the squares are subdivided into two types, a rectangular type 58g and a square type 58h.

  FIG. 10 is a screen 74 for proposing a shape suitable for an accessory such as an earring or a pendant. FIG. 11 is a screen for proposing the shape, color, size, etc. of the spectacle frame 75. Regarding the shapes and colors of these accessories, it is preferable that after the clothes are determined, a plurality of types of colors and shapes that match the clothes are presented on a computer and the customer selects them. However, depending on the customer's wishes, clothes that look good on accessories can be presented on the premise of wearing favorite accessories, glasses, watches, etc.

  FIG. 12 is a screen for proposing neck shapes such as theta 77 and shirt 77 to allow the customer to select. In the same way, it is possible to create a screen of advice information that allows an expert to propose what suits a wearer such as a jacket, a skirt, a hat, and shoes, and to make a customer select.

  In the case of proposing advice information such as the above-mentioned suitable color and pattern to the customer, calculation is made by an arithmetic expression prepared in advance by an expert, but an example of a method for numerically specifying the physical characteristics of the customer is shown in FIG. Shown in FIG. 13 shows a method for two-dimensionally classifying the customer's skin color. The vertical axis 81 in FIG. 13 shows the basic tone of the skin color, and can be grasped by combining yellow and blue in the case of Asians, especially Japanese. That is, in the vertical axis 81, the upper side shows a tendency that yellow is strong, and the lower side shows a tendency that blue is strong. The horizontal axis 82 indicates saturation, the right side indicates high saturation and the left side indicates low saturation. Note that the color tone here does not necessarily correspond to the color wheel in chromatics, but is a concept including brightness. For example, in the case of skin expressed as “transparent whiteness”, the color tone of blue is strong and the saturation is high, so that it comes to the position of G1 in the lower right. The customer's skin color is classified by four quadrants X1, X2, X3, and X4 divided by the vertical axis 81 and the horizontal axis 82. The eye color and hair color can be classified in the same manner. The skin basic colors thus classified can be used as they are for selecting suitable colors such as clothes to be worn.

  The above-mentioned skin color classification can be determined by comparing the camera shooting with the reference color, so that a suitable color can be determined. It can also be determined on the screen of 14 flowchart formats. This method includes the customer's own subjectivity, but there is not much error when selecting a reference color. The screen shown in FIG. 14 is finally displayed through step S1 for determining the color of the foundation and lipstick that the customer thinks suits, step S2 for determining the color of eyes and hair, step S3 for selecting a favorite accessory, and so forth.
