Description

The present invention relates to a measure and a data providing device used for measuring a predetermined part of the human body.

With the spread of EC (Electronic Commerce) in recent years, opportunities to sell and purchase clothes by mail order are increasing. In the mail order, the purchaser confirms the dimensional information of each part for each product provided by the seller, and selects the size of the clothes. However, it is not possible to accurately grasp the compatibility between one's size and the dimensional information provided by the seller, or it is not possible to grasp the silhouette and fit of a wide variety of clothes, so product replacement due to size mismatch or The reality is that many cancellations occur. Product replacement or cancellation due to size mismatch is stressful for the purchaser and a great loss or risk for the seller.

Also, when selling clothes of the same design to a large number of people, such as corporate uniforms and school uniforms, for example, there is a method in which the seller goes to the company or school to perform individual measurements, but it takes a lot of time and effort for the seller. .. Therefore, there is a method of entrusting the measurement to the purchaser and having the purchaser self-report the measurement value of the waist, chest circumference, etc. However, the self-reported measurement value is often transmitted to the seller through a third party such as an employee of the general affairs department or a faculty member. Therefore, for example, women are reluctant to inform a third party of accurate measurement values, and in some cases, they do not convey accurate measurement values, and as a result, product replacement or cancellation due to size mismatch may occur.

As a technique relating to a tape measure used for measuring a predetermined part of the human body, for example, Patent Document 1 describes a tape measure for a band-shaped waist for measuring the waist dimension and a tape measure for measuring the rise dimension. A waist measuring tool equipped with a tape measure is disclosed.

This can provide a measure suitable for use in size selection of a particular garment.
For example, as described with reference to FIG. 2, by measuring the chest circumference of a user who wishes to purchase the blouse B using a measure 100, the size of the blouse B that fits the chest circumference can be easily grasped. As a result, when selling and purchasing the blouse B by mail order, the size mismatch is reduced, and benefits are obtained for both the seller and the purchaser.
Also, when it is necessary to convey the measurement result to others (seller or third party), for example, if you only need to convey the color of the size area, you can reduce the feeling of resistance when communicating the measurement result to others. can.

Further, a plurality of size areas (for example, a measure 100) are divided into a measure main body 101 (201, 301) so as to represent a size suitable for the size of one predetermined part, targeting a plurality of predetermined parts of the human body. The size areas a to i) for the waist and a plurality of size areas (for example, the size areas j to r for the chest circumference of the measure 100) divided so as to represent the size matching the dimensions of other predetermined parts are described. Therefore, it is possible to measure a plurality of predetermined parts with one measure 100 (200, 300).

Hereinafter, a specific example of how to use the measure to which the present invention is applied will be described.
For example, at a seller's store or the like, a measure for the clothes may be distributed to users who wish to purchase the clothes.

Further, for example, a measure for the clothes may be made available to the user on the clothes explanation screen in the online shop.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a clothing explanation screen in an online shop. Further, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a network system in which a tape measure can be obtained on a clothing explanation screen in an online shop. The EC mechanism for realizing an online shop may be a conventionally known one, and here, only the contents related to the acquisition of majors will be explained.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a network system. The information processing device 1 functions as a data providing device to which the present invention is applied, and includes a display control unit 1a and a transmission unit 1b. Further, the storage device 2 is connected to the information processing device 1. The storage device 2 stores information on clothes that are products and information on measures associated with each clothes. The measure information includes printable data for creating the measure on paper. The information processing device 1 is realized by a computer device including, for example, a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like.

The display control unit 1a displays the clothing explanation screen 500 as shown in FIG. 5 on the display device of the external information processing device 4 via the network 3 such as the Internet. On the clothing explanation screen 500, in addition to information such as an image of clothing 501 stored in the storage device 2, a button for selecting a method for obtaining a measure for clothing 501, specifically, a "send" button. 502 and the "Download" button 503 are displayed. When the "send" button 502 is pressed, the seller sends the measure for the clothes 501 to the user by mail or the like.

When the "download" button 503 is pressed, the transmission unit 1b prints data stored in the storage device 2 for creating a measure for clothes 501 on a predetermined size of paper. , Is transmitted to the external information processing device 4.
The external information processing apparatus 4 that has received the data executes printing using paper of a predetermined size according to the user's operation. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, an image capable of creating a measure for clothes 501 is printed on paper 700 of a predetermined size. In the illustrated example, the bands 701a to 701d are printed on the paper 700. A plurality of color-coded size areas are printed in appropriate places on the bands 701a to 701d. These bands 701a to 701d are cut out, and the glue margin 702 at the right end of the band 701a is connected to the left end of the band 702b, and similarly, the glue allowance 702 at the right end of the band 701b is connected to the left end of the band 702c, and the right end of the band 701c is connected. By connecting the glue allowance 702 to the left end of the band 702d, a measure for clothes 501 can be created.
As described above, the user can create a measure for clothes that he / she wants to purchase by using the data acquired via the network, and can quickly obtain the measure.

The measure to which the present invention is applied is associated with a specific garment, but it is not necessary that the specific garment to be associated with the measure is one. For example, as a measure for tops for women, a plurality of measures (first measure, second measure, etc.) are prepared. In each of these plurality of measures, the position of the size area is set according to the relationship between the size of a predetermined part of the human body and the size recommended by the seller, according to the silhouette and fit of the clothes. Then, on the seller side, the tops to be sold are classified into tops that match the first major, tops that match the second major, and so on. A plurality of such measures are provided to the user in advance, and thereafter, a message such as "Please use the second measure for this top" is transmitted on the introduction screen of the tops in the online shop. The user can easily grasp which size is suitable by measuring his / her predetermined part using the second measure acquired in advance.
