  The operation of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of a series of services provided by the accessory purchase support system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  A user who wants to receive the clothing purchase support service needs to perform user registration first. Therefore, first, the user performs a subscriber registration process using the user terminal 20 (step S001).

<1. Subscriber registration process>
When the user activates the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20, the application unit 22 displays “Subscriber information (terminal identifier, address, name, age, gender, three size, etc. in addition to the terminal identifier) at the first activation. ) ”Is displayed.” Is displayed.

  When the input of the “subscriber information” is completed, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 includes a “service identifier” assigned in advance for specifying the user terminal 20, a “registration request code (= 1)”, “ The subscriber information ”is transmitted to the authentication unit 71 of the Web server 70.

  Upon receiving the “service identifier”, “registration request code (= 1)”, and “subscriber information”, the authentication unit 71 of the Web server 70 accesses the clothing purchase support server 100 based on the “service identifier”. Identifies whether or not the terminal is authorized. Here, when it is possible to identify that the terminal is permitted to access the clothing purchase support server 100, the authentication unit 71 instructs the application control unit 110 of the clothing purchase support server 100 to “subscriber”. Information "and" registration request code "are transmitted. When the “registration request code” is 0, the authentication unit 71 of the Web server 70 discards the received information and ends the process.

  Upon receiving the “subscriber information” and the “registration request code”, the application control unit 110 of the clothing purchase support server 100 registers “subscriber information” in the personal information management unit 210 of the system DB 200. When registration of “subscriber information” is completed, the application control unit 110 transmits a “registration completion notification” to the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20.

  The application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 that has received the “registration completion notification” displays on the screen of the user terminal 20 that “subscriber registration has been completed normally”. Thus, the subscriber registration process is completed. Note that a user who has already been registered can omit the above subscriber registration process from the next time.

  Next, the user uses the user terminal 20 to request user authentication from the clothing purchase support server 100 (step S002).

<2. Authentication process>
After completing the subscriber registration, the user terminal 20 subsequently transmits an “authentication request” and a “service identifier” to the authentication unit 71 of the Web server 70.

  Based on the “service identifier”, the authentication unit 71 of the Web server 70 identifies whether the terminal is permitted to access the clothing purchase support server 100. Here, when it is possible to identify that the terminal is permitted to access the clothing purchase support server 100, the authentication unit 71 sends an “authentication request” to the application control unit 110 of the clothing purchase support server 100. ".

  The application control unit 110 of the apparel purchase support server 100 performs a subscriber verification process based on the subscriber information of the personal information management unit 210 and the terminal identifier included in the “authentication request”. Then, an “authentication completion notification” is transmitted to the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20. On the other hand, when there is no corresponding subscriber information in the personal information management unit 210, the application control unit 110 transmits an “authentication failure notification” to the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20.

  Upon receiving the “authentication completion notification”, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 displays an operation mode selection screen for the clothing purchase support service (to step S003). On the other hand, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 that has received the “authentication failure notification” displays a message or the like indicating “subscriber registration” on the screen of the user terminal 20, and returns to the subscriber registration process.

<3. Mode selection process>
When the authentication in step S002 is completed, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 displays a mode selection screen on the screen. In this mode selection screen, a desired processing mode can be selected from “item registration mode” / “scheduler mode” / “coordinate mode”.

  Hereinafter, the “item registration mode”, “scheduler mode”, and “coordinate mode” selected by the user will be described.

<4. Item registration mode>
The item registration mode is a mode for registering clothing items (possessed items) to be combined in coordinates described later. Thereby, for example, the user can obtain a coordinate result using the accessories he possesses.

  In the item registration mode, when the user inputs the item (type), item name, and color (color ID) of the clothing to be registered on the screen of the user terminal 20, the input content is the application control unit 110 of the clothing purchase support server 100. Sent to.

  The application control unit 110 that has received the data of the clothing item (owned item) to be registered from the user terminal 20 registers the data of the received clothing product (owned item) in the clothing product data storage unit 211. At this time, the application control unit 110 confirms whether or not the same clothing item as the received data of the clothing item (owned item) has been registered in the clothing item data storage unit 211. As a result of the confirmation, if the same clothing item has been registered, the detailed data of the clothing item and the three-dimensional object data illustrated in FIG. 7 are copied, and the data of the clothing item (owned item) possessed by the user Is added to the clothing data storage unit 211. In addition, when registering these data, it is desirable to have the clothing item ID and possession classification information which can distinguish the clothing item which a user possesses from the existing clothing item.

  On the other hand, when the same clothing item (item) as the clothing item (owned item) data received from the user terminal 20 is not registered in the clothing data storage unit 211, the application control unit 110 of the clothing purchase support server 100. , Based on the received content, additionally registers the detailed data of the new clothing item in the clothing item data storage unit 211, and further requests the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 to transmit the image of the clothing item. .

  The application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 that is requested to transmit the image of the clothing item displays that fact on the screen. Here, when the user selects a separately captured image and performs a transmission operation, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 transmits the image data to the application control unit 110 of the clothing purchase support server 100.

  The application control unit 110 that has received the image data of the clothing item (owned item) to be registered from the user terminal 20 creates three-dimensional object data based on the received image using the photo retouch function of the image generation unit 115. And registered in the clothing data storage unit 211 as image generation data.

  The application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 confirms whether or not the user continuously desires to register the data of the item of clothing (item). If there are other items of clothing (items) to be registered, the above-described procedure is performed. repeat. In addition, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 receives an instruction to return to the mode selection screen in step S003 and an instruction to end the operation of the user terminal 20.

<5. Scheduler mode>
The scheduler mode is an operation mode in which the clothing data proposed by the coordinate function described later is displayed according to a schedule set in advance by the user. By using this function, the user can purchase the desired clothes without hesitation during shopping. In addition, by registering the clothes that the user possesses in the item registration mode, a coordination suggestion with only the clothes on hand is received by the coordination function described later, and the contents are displayed when necessary by the scheduler function. It is also possible. Hereinafter, the flow of processing in the scheduler mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the user selects “scheduler mode” in step S003, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 accepts whether to perform “schedule confirmation” or “scheduler registration”, and the scheduler control unit of the clothing purchase support server 100 The result is transmitted to 116 (step S051).

  When “schedule registration” is selected, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 displays a schedule registration / edit / delete screen on the screen. Here, for example, when “date”, “alarm time”, “display data”, and “comment” to be registered are input / selected, the application unit 22 sends the input contents to the scheduler control unit 116. Send. The scheduler control unit 116 registers the received “date”, “alarm time”, “display data”, and “comment” as schedule information illustrated in FIG. 9 (step S052).

  On the other hand, when “schedule confirmation” is selected, the scheduler control unit 116 of the clothing purchase support server 100 extracts the schedule information from the personal information management unit 210 of the system DB 200 and transmits it to the application unit 22. The application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 that has received the schedule information displays the coordinate schedule on the screen (step S053).

  Thereafter, when the set date and alarm time have arrived, the scheduler control unit 116 of the clothing purchase support server 100 displays the contents (coordinated image, clothing data list) set as display data for the user terminal 20. Send. The user terminal 20 displays the transmitted content (coordinated image (described later “composite image”), clothing data list) on the screen, or stores it in a memory or the like. A method for transmitting data from the scheduler control unit 116 to the user terminal 20 is not particularly limited, but for example, an e-mail system can be preferably used.

<6. Coordinate mode>
Next, the flow of processing when “coordinate mode” is selected in step S003 of FIG. 6 will be described.

  When the user selects “coordinate mode” in step S003 in FIG. 6, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 sends a “coordinate request” and a “subscriber identifier” to the coordinate processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100. And send.

  The coordination processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100 that has received the “coordinate request” searches the personal information management unit 210 for a subscriber that matches the “subscriber identifier” and confirms the “age” of the matched subscriber. (Step S006).

  The coordination processing unit 114 refers to the fashion system database classified by age illustrated in FIG. 10 stored in the magazine information storage unit 212, extracts the (fashion) system ID corresponding to the “age” of the user, The magazine list to be presented to the user in the next step S008 is narrowed down with reference to the magazine-fashion system data exemplified in FIG. 11 (step S007). For example, when the user is 16 years old, the fashion system includes “teens” (system ID = 002), “street / Uraharajuku system” (system ID = 003), “gal system” ( System ID is narrowed down to 004).

  The coordination processing unit 114 transmits the magazine list narrowed down in step S007 to the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20, and accepts selection of a magazine name that symbolizes the user's fashion line when coordinating (step S008). For example, when 002 to 004 are narrowed down as system IDs in step S007, the magazine list transmitted to the user is the magazine names “EEE” to “JJJ” in FIG.

  When the user selects “magazine name” in step S 008, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 sends a “magazine ID” corresponding to the selected magazine name to the coordination processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100. Send.

  Upon receiving the “magazine ID” from the user terminal 20, the coordination processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100 refers to the magazine-fashion system data illustrated in FIG. 11 and corresponds to the “fashion ID” system. Find the ID. Next, the coordination processing unit 114 extracts the clothing data to which the (fashion) system ID is assigned from the clothing data storage unit 211 and stores it in the clothing data temporary storage DB 218. FIG. 12 shows a state in which only the clothing data having (fashion) system ID = 003 is extracted from the clothing data exemplified in FIG. 7 as a result of selecting the magazine “FFF” in FIG. 11. For example, “Coat BBB” with the clothing item ID = 002 and “One Piece CCC” with the clothing item ID = 003 are excluded because the system ID = 003 is not assigned.

  Next, the coordination processing unit 114 generates a “part / classification list” from the “corresponding part (body part wearing the accessory)” and “item” of the accessory data stored in the accessory data temporary storage DB 218. And it transmits with respect to the application part 22 of the user terminal 20, and the selection of the item used as a combination contrast at the time of coordination is received (step S009). FIG. 13 is an example of the “part / classification list” extracted from the clothing data stored in the clothing data temporary storage DB 218. In the example of FIG. 13, “item 1” and “item 7” are extracted as “items” whose “corresponding part” is “upper body”. This indicates that the one-piece clothing data classified as the item 2 is not in the clothing data temporary storage DB 218 as a result of extraction by the system ID = 003.

  In step S009, the user can select at least one item for each corresponding part (in the case of layering, a plurality of items can be selected and coordinated as layering in order of selection. When “None” is selected for the head, neck, hand (neck), etc. to be worn), the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 selects the coordinate processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100. Then, the item for each selected corresponding part is transmitted (step S010). Further, the order of selection of items is not the layering order, but for example, part 1 [upper body 1] = item 1 (coat), part 2 [upper body 2] = item 2 (one piece), part 3 [lower body 1] = The item 4 (skirt) may be designated by the numerical part (#) of the part “jacket #” so that the wearing order at the time of layering (the item with the larger number is worn first) can be designated.

  In addition, at the time of this item selection, it is also possible to add clothing items (possessed items) possessed by the user registered in the item registration mode to the coordinates. If it does in this way, it will become possible for a user to choose the clothing suitable for clothes, and to obtain the coordination plan which has clothes mainly.

  The coordination processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100 that has received the item for each corresponding part from the user terminal 20 extracts the clothing data of the selected item from the clothing data temporary storage DB 218, and temporarily stores the clothing data. Store in the DB 218 (step S011). FIG. 14 shows a state in which the clothing data of items (item 7, item 3) selected by the user is further extracted from the clothing data stored in the clothing data temporary storage DB 218 shown in FIG. Yes. For example, “Coat AAA” with the clothing item ID = 001 extracted as belonging to the system ID = 003 in FIG. 12 is excluded because it does not correspond to the items = 3 and 7.

  When the narrowing down by the above items is completed, the coordination processing unit 114 transmits a color coordination selection menu to the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20, and coordinates by “impression / emotional qualities” or coordinates by “hue ring effect”. Either one is selected (step S012).

<6-1. Color coordination processing (impression and emotional qualities)>
When the coordinate by “impression / emotional qualities” is selected in step S012, the coordination processing unit 114 of the clothing item purchase support server 100 selects “impression / emotional qualities” in the coordinate DB 215 of the system DB 200 (see FIG. 15). A “qualification list” is created from the data in the “qualities” column and transmitted to the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20. FIG. 15 is an example of color-qualification data stored in the impression / emotional qualification DB 216.

  The application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 that has received the “qualification list” displays the “qualification list” on the screen, and accepts the selection of “qualities” from the user for each corresponding part. When the user completes the selection of “qualities” for each corresponding part, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 gives the “qualities” selected for each corresponding part to the coordination processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100. Send.

  The coordination processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100 that has received the “qualities” for each corresponding part from the user terminal 20 is associated with the “qualities” selected for each corresponding part from the clothing data temporary storage DB 218. Clothing data having a color ID is extracted and transmitted to the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 (step S013). In FIG. 16, “cleanness, cool, fresh, pure, freshness” is further selected for the region: upper body from the clothing data stored in the clothing data temporary storage DB 218 shown in FIG. 14, and the region: lower body As a result of selecting “Luxury, Formal, Chic, Stylish”, this indicates a state in which only the clothing data having the color ID = 1 and the color ID = 3 is narrowed down.

  The application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 that has received the clothing data displays the “clothing list” on the screen (step S014).

  In the above description, it is assumed that the user designates “qualities”, but the user may designate colors directly. Further, not only “qualities” but also other indirect color designation methods can be employed.

<6-2. Color coordination processing (Hue ring effect)>
On the other hand, when the coordinate by the “hue ring effect” is selected in step S012, the coordination processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100 performs the hue circle of the color select DB 217 (see FIG. 17) in the coordinate DB 215 of the system DB 200. Send effect data. FIG. 17 is an example of hue ring effect data stored in the color select DB 217.

  The application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 that has received the hue ring effect data displays a hue ring effect selection screen on the screen, and applies “base color (N value)” from the user to “corresponding part” and “similarity”. An input of “corresponding part” to which “color effect” such as “effect”, “opposite hue”, “accent” is applied is accepted. User completes input of “corresponding part” to which “base color (N value)” is applied and “corresponding part” to which “color effect” such as “similar effect”, “opposite hue”, “accent” is applied Then, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 makes a “base color (N value)” or a selected “color effect (similar effect / opposite) for each corresponding part to the coordination processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100. Hue / Accent) ”.

  The coordination processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100 that has received the “base color (N value)” or the selected “color effect (similar effect / opposite hue / accent)” for each corresponding part from the user terminal 20 For the corresponding part for which “base color (N value)” is selected from the product data temporary storage DB 218, the clothing data having the base color ID is extracted, and for the corresponding part for which “color effect” is selected. For example, the color effect ID (M value) is calculated by the following equation, and the clothing data having the base color ID corresponding to the M value is extracted.

(1) When color effect = similar effect,
N-2 ≦ M ≦ N + 2
For example, when “green” is selected as the base color ID, the colors of base color ID = 1 to 5 in FIG. 17 are selected as colors having similar effects (M values). This corresponds to the process of selecting the adjacent color scheme of the hue circle.
(2) Color effect (M value) = Opposite hue
N + 5 ≦ M ≦ N + 7
For example, when “green” is selected as the base color ID, the color of the base color ID = 8 to 10 in FIG. 17 is selected as the color having the opposite hue (M value). This corresponds to the process of selecting the color at position 180 of the hue circle and its adjacent color scheme.
(3) Color effect (M value) = When accent
M = N + 6
For example, when “green” is selected as the base color ID, the color (red purple) of the base color ID = 9 in FIG. 17 is selected as the accent color (M value). This corresponds to processing for selecting a color at position 180 in the hue circle.

  In the example of FIG. 17, for the sake of simplicity of explanation, the description has been made using the 12-color hue ring, but the present invention can also be applied to a more detailedly divided hue ring. In the above-described example, it has been described that “similar effect”, “opposite hue”, and “accent” can be selected as the color effect, but other three color harmony (the color at a position of 120 ° on the hue circle) is selected. Selection), a known coordination rule such as two-color harmony may be selected by a combination of chromatic and achromatic colors.

  The coordination processing unit 114 of the clothing purchase support server 100 transmits the clothing data extracted as described above to the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 (step S015). In FIG. 18, the base color (N value) is selected for the part: upper body and the color effect is selected for the part: lower body from the accessory data stored in the accessory data temporary storage DB 218 shown in FIG. 14. This represents a state in which the narrowing by the M value has been performed.

  The application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 that has received the clothing data displays a “clothing list” on the screen (step S016).

<7. Coordinate processing (image generation processing)>
The application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 receives selection of clothing items to be subjected to image generation processing from the clothing data list displayed in step S014 or S016 from the user. When the selection of the clothing items to be subjected to the image generation processing is completed, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 notifies the image generation unit 115 of the clothing purchase support server 100 of the selected clothing items for each corresponding part. To do.

  Upon receipt of the notification, the image generation unit 115 of the clothing purchase support server 100 takes out the “3D object data” of the selected clothing data from the clothing data storage unit 211 and combines it with 3D software. A “composite image” (coordinated image) is created and transmitted to the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 (step S017).

  For example, if the user has a part 1 [upper body 1] = item 1 (coat), a part 2 [upper body 2] = item 2 (one piece), a part 3 [lower body 1] = item 4 (skirt) If you specify the wearing order for layering (the item with the highest number is worn first) in the number part (#) of “Wear #”, the coat image is superimposed on the one-piece image according to the rules for the upper body. They are displayed together.

  Further, when satisfaction is not obtained with the generated coordinate image, it is assumed that it is possible to return to the clothing data selection process and re-create a “composite image” (coordinate image) as appropriate. Further, it may be possible to return to step S008 (magazine selection), step S010 (item selection), and step S012 (color coordination method selection) by the user's selection so that the selection of clothing data can be performed again. For example, the coordinate may be changed with the selected color ID or base color ID by displaying a palette on the screen and selecting the desired palette.

  Upon receiving the “composite image” (coordinated image), the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 displays the “composite image” (coordinated image) on the screen, and stores the clothing data and the “composite image” (coordinated image). Whether or not to accept is accepted (step S018).

  If data storage is selected in step S018, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 instructs the application control unit 110 of the clothing purchase support server 100 to store data (step S019). Thereafter, the stored clothing data and “composite image” (coordinated image) can be selected as “display data” in the schedule mode described above. In addition, by providing a function of saving clothing data and “composite images” (coordinated images) together with date information and user comments, simple album and blog (Weblog) data can be created. In this way, the labor required to record the coordinates worn on a specific day and the coordinates proposed as a reference when purchasing certain clothing items can be saved.

  Next, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 displays a message for confirming whether or not to purchase the product represented in the displayed “composite image” (coordinated image) (step S020).

<8-1. Mobile purchase (mobile commerce)>
When “mobile purchase” is selected in step S020, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 accepts selection of clothing to be purchased from the user, and is selected by the mobile commerce control unit 111 of the clothing purchase support server 100. Send the apparel ID of the apparel.

  The mobile commerce control unit 111 that has received the clothing ID from the user terminal 20 retrieves the “subscriber information” from the personal information management unit 210 and sends the clothing ID (or product name information corresponding to the clothing ID) to the agency 600. And “subscriber information” are transmitted. Since the subsequent processing is the same as that of the normal mobile commerce service technology, it is omitted (step S021).

<8-2. Real store purchase (store information acquisition)>
When “actual store purchase” is selected in step S020, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 accepts selection of clothing to be purchased from the user, as in mobile purchase, and the store search unit of the clothing purchase support server 100 The apparel ID of the apparel selected at 113 is transmitted.

  The store search unit 113 that has received the apparel ID from the user terminal 20 retrieves the “store list” of the apparel from the apparel data storage unit 211. The “store list” includes a store ID list of actual stores where the clothing items can be purchased.

  Next, the store search unit 113 extracts the “address” and “nearest station information” of each store from the store information management unit 213 based on the extracted “store list”, and sends it to the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20. Send.

  The application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 displays the received “address” and “closest station information” of each store as an “address list”. As a result, the user can confirm the store name and address of the clothing item desired to be purchased and the nearest station information.

  Further, if necessary, the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20 can request the store search unit 113 of the clothing purchase support server 100 to narrow down stores that are “close to the current position of the user”. .

  The store search unit 113 that has received a request for narrowing down stores that are “close to the user's current location” uses the positioning function 91 or the like to obtain the user's “current location coordinates” and converts the address to the coordinate. The server 80 is requested to calculate “coordinates” corresponding to the “address” of each store.

  Next, the store search unit 113 causes the distance calculation unit 112 to calculate the distance between the two coordinates, and transmits a list of stores sorted in the order of the shortest distance. Based on the same principle, it is possible to search for “a store close to an arbitrary station”.

  Further, by transmitting the calculated target “coordinate information” from the store search unit 113 to the application unit 22 of the user terminal 20, navigation to the destination by the navigation function (navigation unit 23) of the user terminal 20 is also possible. It can be made available (step S022).

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and further modifications and replacements are possible without departing from the basic technical idea of the present invention. -Adjustments can be made. For example, an intermediate embodiment between the first example and the second example may be employed.

  Also, for example, in the second embodiment described above, in order to further reduce the user's operation amount, the magazine name, the color coordination rule, etc. selected by the previous user are stored in the personal information management unit 210, and the user is referred to next time. Can be applied as an initial value (default setting). In this case, the user can be presented with a coordination plan simply by performing mode selection (step S003) and item selection (step S010) in the flowchart of FIG.

  Also, for example, in “7. Coordination process (image generation process)” in the second embodiment described above, it has been described that the user selects a clothing item to be subjected to the image generation process. 100 pieces of image generation units 115 may randomly select the extracted clothing data and create a “composite image” (coordinated image).
