DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing one embodiment of a hairstyle selection system of the present invention. FIG. 2 is hairstyle (hairstyles) hierarchy diagram showing a database structure of a database and technical databases, 3 the use of mobile phones in the customer FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a screen, and FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a usage screen of a beautician side terminal viewed by a beautician.
[0026]
The present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the database system 4 and the customer terminal to the database system 4 may be connected via the Internet 1, and beauticians terminal that can be connected also through the Internet 1 to the database system 4 The customer side terminal is assumed to be a mobile phone 2 having a camera 2a as a mobile terminal.
[0027]
The hairdresser's terminal is a personal computer 3, which may be either a desktop type or a notebook personal computer. This beautician side terminal can also be a mobile phone type like the mobile terminal of the customer side terminal.
[0028]
The database system 4 includes a WWW server 5, a database server 6 that stores a hairstyle database 8 and a technical database 9, a program server 7 that stores a customer browsing program 10 and a beauty salon browsing program 11, and the customer 12 is a mobile phone. 2 is used to connect to the database system 4 via the Internet 1 and select a favorite hairstyle from the browsing screen 14 for the customer.

As shown in FIG. 3, the customer 12 connects to the top page screen 16 of the hairstyle site in the WWW server 5 via the Internet 1 using the mobile phone 2 and selects the ENTER button 22 to enter the site. A hairstyle menu screen 17 is opened on the screen of the mobile phone 2, and a number of hairstyles are displayed. The menu screen 17 may be preceded by a site representative screen, a character item selection screen, and the like, and there is no specific pattern.
[0034]
As an example, the menu screen 17 divides a large number of hairstyles by genre and displays items constituting the menu 23 such as party hair, long hair, and short hair.

When the customer 12 selects a hairstyle that the customer 12 likes on the catalog screen 18, the hairstyle display screen 20 is opened, and the selected hairstyle (hairstyle) is displayed there. The image in this case is a model face image.
[0039]
The customer 12 takes a picture of his / her face with the camera 2a of the mobile phone 2 and captures it into the mobile phone 2 to create a composite image in which the face of the selected hairstyle is replaced with the face of the model. To do.
[0040]
In this way, various means for creating a composite image are conceivable. As shown in FIG. 7, when the customer 12 transmits an image 45 of his / her face from the mobile phone 2 to the program server 7 as shown in FIG. A certain image composition program 47 is performed by compositing the selected hairstyle image 28 and the image 45 of the customer's 12 own face, and transmitting the synthesized image 46 to the mobile phone 2 of the customer 12.
[0041]
As an example of the synthesis method, the customer 12 first selects the hairstyle image 28 on the hairstyle display screen 20. Next, the user proceeds to the catalog screen end page 21, selects the image composition button 44, and sends his / her face image 45 photographed by the camera 2 a of the mobile phone 2 to the image composition program 47 in the program server 7.
[0042]
The image composition program 47 resizes the received image 45 of the customer's 12 face to a size suitable for composition. In the hairstyle image 28, hairstyle image frame diagram 50 data, which is a transparent GIF frame diagram of only the hair portion, is registered together, and the resized customer 12's own face image 45 and hairstyle image frame diagram 50 are registered. Is synthesized without a sense of incongruity.
[0043]
The hair coloring of the hairstyle image 28 can be changed in brightness and color.
[0044]
The composite image 46 created in this way is transmitted to the mobile phone 2 of the customer 12 by the image composition program 47.
[0045]
Then, the customer 12 looks at the synthesized image 46 sent from the program server 7 and saves it in the mobile phone 2 if he / she likes it. If you don't like it, move to another hairstyle selection without saving.
[0046]
Saving is performed by the image saving button 29, and when it is desired to see another hairstyle, the button 30 is used to return to the menu. Reference numeral 31 denotes an end button.
[0047]
As another means for creating a composite image, as shown in FIG. 8, the hairstyle image data 51 is downloaded as image frame data from the database server 6 to the mobile phone 2 which is the customer side terminal and displayed on the screen 2b. According to the image frame superimposing means capable of taking a picture by superimposing one's face in accordance with the hairstyle image frame.
[0048]
That is, the hairstyle image data 51 is selected from the database server 6 and downloaded to the mobile phone 2, and the hairstyle image data 51 is displayed on the screen 2 b of the mobile phone 2 and fixed.
[0049]
Next, while looking at the hairstyle image data 51, the face image 45 is copied onto the screen 2 b by the camera 2 a and is matched with the hairstyle image frame of the hairstyle image data 51. This alignment operation is performed by adjusting the position and angle of the camera 2a.
[0050]
As shown in FIG. 9, if the hairstyle image data 51 and the face image 45 are misaligned or if the face image 45 is too large or too small, pay attention to the position of the camera 2a of the mobile phone 2. It can be easily adjusted if it is corrected while viewing the display screen of the mobile phone 2.
[0051]
When the face image 45 of the user's face and the hairstyle image data 51 overlap each other, the combined image 46 may be created and stored by pressing the shutter, and the combined image 46 may be transmitted to the database server 6. Even if you press the shutter at the failed position, you can shoot again carefully.
[0052]
In this way, the customer 12 saves the synthesized image 46 or the selected hairstyle image 28 in the mobile phone 2 or records the hairstyle ID 27, goes to the hair salon where the hairstyle is performed, and carries it to the hairdresser 13 in charge.

[0058]
The necessary material screen 39 may be configured to obtain advertising revenue, for example, by placing an advertisement banner 43 linked to a material manufacturer's advertising page.
[0059]
The technical information screen 34 is desirably programmed so that it cannot be printed. Alternatively, if you become a member, you can limit the conditions and make certain printouts possible.
[0060]
Further, not only ordinary hairstyles but also “play” items can be created in the menu, and hairstyles such as chomage, afro hair, mohawk, etc. can be registered, and the customer 12 can synthesize their face image 45 and play.
