  Thus, when the present system is activated, the information processing unit 59 of the control device 5 displays the operation buttons for registering the clothing item and searching for the clothing item on the menu screen on the display surface of the operation display panel 8. The operation of each part is controlled to a standby state. FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of this state. In step S1, it is checked whether or not an operation button for registering a clothing item has been pressed. If it has been pressed, the process proceeds to a clothing item registration process (step S2) described later. . When the check in step S1 is not performed or the clothing item registration process is completed, it is checked in the next step S3 whether or not the operation button for searching for the clothing item is pressed. The process proceeds to processing (step S4). When the check in step S3 is not completed or when the clothing item search process is completed, in step S5, the entry / exit of the clothing item is checked in step S6. If there is no entry / exit of the clothing item in the closet 1 or if there is entry / exit and the processing is completed, it is checked in step S7 whether or not the system operation is terminated. Then, the above process is repeated.

  Next, when the operation button for registering a clothing item is pressed in step S1 and registration is selected, the information processing unit 59 of the control device 5 operates to start the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. A menu and guidance display are performed on the liquid crystal display of the display panel 8 along the processing process, and the user M performs the following operations along this display.

  First, in step S10, a clothing item attribute registration process for new registration is performed. In this case, the user M follows the input guidance displayed on the operation display panel 8 with the clothing item attributes including the purchase store, the purchase date and time, the amount of money, the item type, the manufacturer, the sales person, etc. shown in Table 1. Input from the operation display panel 8. The input clothing item attribute is automatically given a clothing item ID and is registered in the clothing item identification database D6 under the control of the information processing unit 59. Table 1 shows a registration example of the clothing item identification database D6.

  Although not shown in Table 1, the user M of each clothing item can be specified by registering the identification ID of the individual user as an attribute of the clothing item.

  After this clothing item attribute registration processing, before photographing a new clothing item image, the user M is asked by the display on the operation display panel 8 whether or not the lighting condition for photographing is set (step S11). .

  In this case, if the already set lighting conditions are acceptable, it is selected through the operation display panel 8 that setting is not performed. When setting new lighting conditions, the operation display panel 8 is used to display the lighting environment (outdoor daytime, evening scene, night scene, hall, home, etc.), illuminance (lux), and color temperature (Kelvin) on the operation display panel 8. The user M inputs according to the displayed input guidance (step S12).

When this new illumination condition is input, the information processing unit 59 controls the illumination device 9 including a multi-light source through the illumination control unit 51 in accordance with the input content, and reproduces the illumination environment corresponding to the set content ( Step S13). After a predetermined lighting environment or a new lighting environment has been reproduced, the user M is asked by the display on the operation display panel 8 whether or not a clothing item image is to be taken next by the imaging camera 4 (step S14). . Here, when the user M selects to perform shooting through the operation display panel 8, under the control of the information processing unit 59, the imaging camera 4 photographs the clothing item and the user M wearing the clothing item (step S15). The figure image of the user M obtained by this photographing is taken into the image input processing unit 52, and the image input processing unit 52 aligns the body pattern matching image registered in the internal storage unit with the figure image. And processing to remove the body feature shape from the captured image, cut out the image of the clothing item worn for each body area of the upper body, lower body, head, hand, and foot part of the body The image data is registered in the clothing item image database D4 under the control of the information processing unit 59 , and each clothing item is subjected to pattern matching with image data for pattern matching of various clothing items registered in the internal storage unit in advance. Each clothing item is associated with the identified item type and the clothing item attribute data previously input for each clothing item. Automatically given the clothing item ID for the item image data. Moreover, in the figure image image | photographed at this time, image ID is matched and attached | subjected automatically with respect to all the extracted clothing item groups. Table 2 shows a registration example of the clothing item image database D4.

  Now, after photographing, in the next step S16, the image histogram generation unit 14 performs processing for obtaining a histogram of each color on the image of the clothing item extracted by the image input processing unit 52, and determines the color of the clothing item. FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C are examples in which a histogram is obtained with three colors of R (red), B (blue), and G (green). That is, FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C show the distribution of density values when an image is represented using 256 gradations of R, G, and B. In the illustrated example, blue clothing items are displayed. Show. Of course, not only R, G, and B but also various color systems may be specified to create a histogram. In addition, the color of the clothing item obtained in the histogram processing is displayed on the operation display panel 8 and presented to the user M, and the user M is asked whether the color is appropriate. The color of the clothing item search may be specified by operating the operation display panel 8.

  Thus, the color of the clothing item is registered as an attribute of each clothing item in association with the clothing item ID in the above-described clothing item identification database D6.

If taken at step S 14 is not selected, or when the processing of the histogram is completed, it is checked whether the reader 7 is an ID tag attached to clothing items that the user M is clothes (Step S17 ), When an ID tag is attached to the clothing item and the reader device 7 reads the ID information from the ID tag, the information processing unit 59 uses the ID information received through the reader processing unit 54 as the clothing item attribute to identify the clothing item. As shown in Table 1, the database D6 is registered in association with the ID of the clothing item (step S18).

  When the ID tag is not attached to the clothing item, or when the ID tag ID registration process ends, the information processing unit 59 determines whether or not to add a voice keyword to the user M through the display on the operation display panel 8. Ask (step S19). In response to this, when the user M selects to add a voice keyword through the operation display panel 8, the information processing unit 59 enters a voice keyword acquisition state through the voice recognition unit 58.

  In this voice keyword acquisition state, the user M speaks to the microphone MC the keyword associated with the clothing item used when searching for the clothing item. The utterance voice of the keyword acquired by the microphone MC is recognized by the voice recognition unit 58, and the information processing unit 59 that receives the recognition data (for example, text data) registers it in the voice keyword database D7 and stores it in the clothing item identification database D6. Processing to add is performed (step S20). When the voice keyword addition process is not performed or when the addition process is completed, the clothing item registration process is completed. Table 3 shows an example of registration in the voice keyword database D7.

  In this way, when the user M wears the clothing item, the user M stands in front of the closet 1 and performs the above-described operations for registration and the image data of the clothing item of the user M is automatically registered. At the same time, the registration of the clothing item attributes in the clothing item identification database D6 is completed.

Here, in order to present the garment support information to the user M, the system of this embodiment, the clothing history of the user, even to perform processing for registering the comfort of history database D1, D3 each It has become.

  That is, the clothing history is a history of the entry / exit date and time from the closet 1 for the clothing item managed by the clothing item identification database D6. In the embodiment, the clothing start date and time and the clothing end date and time are stored in the database D1 as the clothing history. In this case, when the user M selects the input / output processing of the clothing item on the operation display panel 8 and puts it in the closet 1 based on the guidance displayed according to the selection, the user M associates the clothing item with the clothing item ID. Enter the date and time when it was put out, or when it was taken out from the closet 1. Further, the destination at that time and the name of the user M are input together. When these inputs are received, the information processing unit 59 acquires and stores the air of the day and the average temperature from the start of clothes to the end of clothes from the weather information providing server 11b of the weather information provider through the Internet NT, and stores the clothes. Processing to store in the history database D1 is performed. In this way, it is possible to determine which season the clothing item is worn by continuing to record the clothing start date and time and the clothing end date and time for each clothing item and referring to the past clothing history. is there. It is also possible to obtain clothes suitable for the season from the attribute data.

  Table 4 shows an example of clothing history data stored in the clothing history database D1.

Note that instead of inputting the name of the user M as described above, the user M may be specified using voice recognition (specifying means) . In this case, the name and voice data of the user M who uses the system are registered in advance, and when registering the clothing history data, the user speaks to the microphone MC, and the voice data corresponding to the speech is transmitted to the microphone MC. from the acquired speech recognition means 59, the voice data that matches the acquired voice data, may be sea urchin by specifying a user M is detected from the voice data that have registered.

On the other hand, the comfort data stored in the comfort database D3 is obtained by quantifying the comfort of the clothing item after the user M wears. The comfort of this body type is difficult to judge by weight and body fat percentage. By using this comfort index as a history index and storing it as a history after wearing, it is possible to read daily body shape changes, suggesting meal menu menus and bathing from body shape change data It is also possible to propose a method to the user M. Here, an operation for storing a history of comfort in the comfort database D3 will be described.
This comfort is registered by operating the operation display panel 8 by the user himself / herself for the comfort of the clothing item that the user M is currently wearing. For example, represents the size of the clothing item 10 stage evaluation, "clothing items larger than ho UGA forms of numbers (can afford) large", "small (tight clothing items smaller ho UGA integrated numbered ) ”. Moreover, it is supposed that it can be described about the site | part which is the evaluation of the clothing item concretely about remarks. Table 5 shows examples of comfort data stored in the comfort database D3.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, in order to enable the user M to search the storage location of the clothing item by storing the storage location when storing the clothing item in the closet 1, in this embodiment, the IC tag Apparel items with can be automatically registered in the storage location management database D5 under the control of the information processing unit 59.

  That is, when a clothing item is hung on a suitable place on the hanger part 2 by a hanger or stored in the drawer part 3, the reader device 7 'provided at each place is hung or attached to the stored clothing item. The ID information of the IC tag being read is read, and the read ID information is sent to the information processing unit 59 through the reader processing unit 54. Based on the acquired ID information, the information processing unit 59 includes a clothing item ID corresponding to the clothing item attached with the IC tag, a storage location ID indicating a storage location associated with the reader device 7 ′, and a built-in clock. The storage date and time obtained are stored in the storage location management database D5. Table 6 shows a data registration example of the storage location management database D5.

  As described above, the lighting condition setting history is stored in the lighting control history database D2 in association with the clothing item under the control of the information processing unit 59. Table 7 shows an example of storing the history data.

  Thus, when various data are stored and registered in the databases D1 to D7 as described above, the user M wants to display the clothing item information as clothing support information on the liquid crystal display device 6a of the mirror liquid crystal 6. First, search is selected from the menu displayed on the operation display panel 8. When this selection is made, the menu display on the operation display panel 8 is displayed under the control of the information processing unit 59, and an input screen such as a user ID and a destination is displayed. When the end is confirmed, the control device 5 starts the search process.

First, the information processing unit 59 of the control device 5 performs processing for taking in today's weather information of the current location as one of the search conditions from the weather information providing server 11b. That is, the server 11b functions as a search condition instruction means. In this case, if the user M has input the destination, the weather information of the destination is also taken in. The information processing unit 59 captures today's season and time information using the built-in calendar clock, and reads past clothing history data at the same date and time from the clothing history database D1. Then, the clothing items that have been worn are picked up from past clothing history data, and based on these clothing items, the weather conditions of today (for example, cold, hot, suitable temperature), etc. and the weather conditions such as rain, sunny, and cloudy color was correspond to such, different clothing items of the same kind, such as change the base item material, determines a combination of clothing items proposed to the user M. In order to enable the information processing unit 59 to generate the combination information of the clothing items, when registering the clothing item data in the identification database D6, the color of the clothing item is classified according to the color of the clothing item, and the attribute It is assumed that material information is registered in advance as data.

  After determining the combination of the clothing items, the information processing unit 59 reads each clothing item image to be combined from the clothing item image database D4, and displays the clothing item images of the half mirror of the user M standing in front of the mirror liquid crystal 6 The images of the respective clothing items are combined by the image display unit 55 so as to be displayed on the screen position of the liquid crystal display device 6a corresponding to each part of the mirror image, and displayed on the liquid crystal display device 6a which is a presentation means. At the same time, attribute data corresponding to the clothing item is also displayed.

  If the user M likes this combination, he / she operates the operation display panel 8 to input “OK”, and keeps the screen display for a certain period of time under the control of the information processing unit 59. And the user M should just take out each clothing item from the inside of the rosette 1 while confirming on a display screen, and should wear it.

  In addition, when a clothing item that does not like the displayed clothing item is displayed, the user M operates the operation display panel 8 to call up a menu screen for searching for individual clothing items, and inputs search information. And do a search.

  In this search for individual clothing items, input guidance is displayed on the operation display panel 8, and the user M inputs inspection conditions and designated items along this display.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, in step S30, input of the clothing item attribute is prompted, and the user M answers this question to search conditions by the clothing item attribute <for example, conditions such as coordination based on white, thick clothing> Is input (step S31). When there is this input, the information processing section 59 performs a search condition addition process (step S32). In this case, the search conditions that can be input by the user M are the purchase store of the clothing item identification database D6, the purchase date and time (range specification is possible), the amount (can also be range specification), the item type, the manufacturer, and the person in charge. A combination of multiple search conditions can also be entered.

  Next, the information processing section 59 asks the user M whether or not to specify a clothing history through the operation display panel 8 (step S33). When the user M answers this question and inputs a clothing history condition (step S34). ), The information processing unit 59 performs processing for adding a search condition (step S35).

  In this case, it is also possible to enter a search condition in which priority is set for the three elements of date / time (month / day), weather and average temperature. It is possible to extract clothing items worn at the time. Also, by searching from the date, it is possible to efficiently extract clothing items suitable for the seasonal pattern. Furthermore, it is possible to extract clothing items suitable for annual events such as spring, summer, autumn, winter, birthday, and new year.

  Furthermore, by searching for clothing items from the weather (weather), it is possible to extract clothing items suitable for the weather such as rain and snow, and also to extract clothing items that should be worn in the case of rain and snow In addition, by searching for clothing items based on the average temperature, it is possible to extract clothing items suitable for the temperature from the relationship between the past average temperature and the clothing items, and to find clothing items suitable for the temperature of the day. It can also be extracted.

  Further, the information processing unit 59 asks the user M whether or not to specify an item color based on the image histogram through the operation display panel 8 (step S36), and when the user M answers the question and inputs the item color search condition. (Step S37), the information processing section 59 performs search condition addition processing (step S38).

  Further, the information processing unit 59 asks the user M whether or not to specify the comfort condition through the operation display panel 8 (step S39), and the user M answers the question and inputs the comfort search condition (step S39). In step S40), the information processing section 59 performs search condition addition processing (step S41).

  Further, the information processing unit 59 asks the user M whether or not to specify the lighting condition through the operation display panel 8 (step S42), and when the user M answers the question and inputs the lighting search condition (step S43). ) The information processing unit 59 performs processing for adding search conditions (step S44).

  Further, the information processing unit 59 asks the user M whether or not to specify a voice keyword through the operation display panel 8 (step S45), and when the user M answers the question and inputs a voice search condition (step S46). The information processing unit 59 performs search condition addition processing (step S47).

  When the search condition is input as described above, the information processing unit 59 starts the clothing item search process (step S48).

  Since the user M is specified by the user ID, only the clothing items corresponding to the user M can be narrowed down to the search range, and the search time can be shortened.

  Thus, if all the above search conditions are input, the information processing unit 59 first extracts the clothing item that best matches the search conditions from the databases D1, D2, D3, D6, and D7 corresponding to the search conditions. Then, the image data corresponding to the clothing item ID of the extracted clothing item is extracted from the clothing item image database D4, the extracted clothing item image data is sent to the image display unit 55, and the image display unit 55 stores the clothing item ID of the clothing item. The image is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 6a of the mirror liquid crystal 6 (step S49). In this case, the corresponding clothing item in the clothing item group already displayed is replaced.

  In this way, the user M automatically replaces the combination of the proposed clothing items with his / her favorite clothing item, and finally the combination of the favorite clothing item based on the basic combination. You can choose.

If the displayed clothing item has an IC tag and the location stored in the closet 1 is registered in the storage location management database D5, the storage location is also displayed on the liquid crystal display device 6a. Let Further, the information processing unit 59 turns on the light emitting display unit 10 a or 10 b where the clothing item is stored through the lighting control unit 56.
