Each of these user terminals 31 to 3N includes a display device having an image display unit configured by a television device, a liquid crystal display device, or the like inside or outside.

  Here, the clothing coordination support process in the present embodiment is, for example, a clothing coordination that causes a character displayed on the display device of the user terminals 31 to 3N to wear or change various clothing items by a user operation. This system 100 can realize clothing coordination that matches the real world with 2D graphics or 3D graphics.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the clothing coordination support processing server 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the clothing coordination support processing server 10 includes an item determination unit 11, an information communication unit 12, and an item related data table 13.

  The item determination unit 11 includes a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, and the like, refers to the item-related data table 13, and selects a wearable clothing item that can be worn by the character as a clothing item worn by this character and / or this character. It is determined by searching for the clothing item associated with the item-related data table 13. This determination process is, for example, worn on the character in the wearing state and the wearing state specifying information for specifying the wearing state of the clothing item in the character displayed on the user terminals 31 to 3N received via the information communication unit 12. It is performed based on item related information including item information indicating a selected clothing item selected by the user as a clothing item to be selected.

  Moreover, the item determination part 11 may have the function of the control part which controls the clothing coordination assistance processing server 10 whole. In this case, for example, the item determination unit 11 executes the clothing coordination support process according to the control program stored in the ROM, and controls the clothing coordination support processing server 10 as a whole.

  The information communication unit 12 has a function for communicating with the blog server 20 and the user terminals 31 to 3N via the communication network 40 such as the Internet. The information communicated by the information communication unit 12 includes, in addition to the item related information described above, result information related to the determination result determined by the item determination unit 11 and coordinate display screens indicating coordinate images on the user terminals 31 to 3N. Image display information for displaying the image, or image registration information for registering the coordinated image by pasting it on the user's blog site managed by the blog server 20.

  The item-related data table 13 is, for example, a display form of a character image showing a character, a display form of a clothing item image showing a clothing item worn by this character, and wearable when displayed superimposed on this clothing item In accordance with each display form of the clothing item image indicating the clothing item, it is determined according to a rule that associates each clothing item with images of various characters and / or other clothing items.

Here, the item related data table 13 will be described.
3 and 4 are explanatory diagrams for explaining an example of association of each clothing item in the item-related data table 13. The item-related data table 13 includes, for example, an item-related data table A and an item-related data table B. As shown in FIG. 3, the item-related data table A represents a character's body (such as a slim shape, a fat shape). Character bodies (for example, body A, body B, body C,..., Body N) and wearable clothing items that can be worn on each character body (for example, boots A1 to N1, boots A2 to N2, boots A3 to N3) ,..., Boots AN to NN).

  In the item-related data table A, for example, the clothing items A1 to N1 are wearable clothing items for the body A, the clothing items A2 to N2 are the body B, and the clothing items are the body C. The items A3 to N3 are associated with the body N so that the clothing items AN to NN can be worn. In addition, each clothing item A1-N1, A2-N2, A3-N3, ..., AN-NN represents the clothing item from which the size (S, M, L, etc.) about clothing item A-N differs.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the item-related data table B, a character body (for example, body A, body B, etc.) and a wearable clothing item (for example, selected by the user for wearing on the character body) Shirt A1, shirt B1, shirt B2 to be worn on body B, and clothing items already worn on the character body (for example, jacket A1, jacket B1, jacket worn on body A) C1 and bottom C1, etc.), and a wearable clothing item image in a case where the selected wearable clothing item (for example, shirt A1) is superimposed and displayed according to the character body and / or the worn clothing item. (For example, shirt A1b).

  In the item-related data table B, for example, when the user selects to wear the shirt A1 on the body A on which the jacket A1 is worn, the shirt A1b is applied as an image of the shirt A1, and the jacket B1 is worn. When the user selects to wear the shirt A1 on the body A, the association is performed so that the shirt A1c is applied as an image of the shirt A1.

  That is, in the image DB 14 of the present system 100, a plurality of images (for example, shirt A1b, shirt A1c, etc.) are prepared for each wearable clothing item (for example, shirt A1). When these images are combined with a character and / or a worn clothing item (for example, jacket A1), the clothing items are associated with each other in advance so that the display does not cause any contradiction in expression.

  The item determination unit 11 of the clothing coordination support processing server 10 refers to the item-related data table 13 that is associated in this way, thereby expressing contradictions in the coordinated image represented by 2D graphics or 3D graphics. A wearable clothing item that does not have (for example, a shoulder portion of a shirt appears on the jacket) is determined without performing complicated arithmetic processing (graphic processing).

  The clothing coordination support processing server 10 reads a clothing item image corresponding to the wearable clothing item determined by the item determination unit 11 from the image DB 14, and coordinates the read clothing item image on, for example, a character image. The image display information for generating coordinate image display information indicating an image and displaying the coordinate display screen indicating the coordinate image based on the coordinate image display information on the user terminals 31 to 3N via the information communication unit 12 is displayed. It transmits to the terminals 31 to 3N.

Here, the coordinate image display information will be described.
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of a configuration of coordinated image display information indicating a coordinated image. As shown in FIG. , Layer category, layer clothing item type, layer applicable clothing item, and remarks.

  Layer No. In, for example, each layer (L1 to LN) constituting the coordinated image is shown, and in the layer category, a category of clothing items (for example, body, shoes, etc.) that can be displayed by each layer is shown. In addition, in the layer clothing item type, the clothing item type that can be displayed by the layer category (for example, the body / face, pose, etc. in the body of the layer L1) is shown, and in the layer applicable clothing item, it is displayed in each layer. Applicable clothing items (for example, body A, body B, etc. in layer L1) are shown. In the remarks, the display priority order when special processing in each layer or a specific clothing item is combined is shown.

  Next, operation | movement of the clothing coordination assistance processing server 10 of this example is demonstrated.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the clothing coordination support process in the clothing coordination support processing server 10 of this example. Here, in order to simplify the explanation, it is assumed that the clothing Y is played by the user Y operating the user terminal 31, and the processing for supporting the clothing coordination for the user terminal 31 is described. The description may be omitted except for processing particularly related to the present invention.

  In the clothing coordination support process, when the item determination unit 11 receives a notification of selection of the clothing item to be worn by the character from the user terminal 31 (Y in step S101), the item related information via the information communication unit 12 Is received (step S102). The item-related information needs to be received from the user terminal 31 in order to provide support for clothing coordination such as item information indicating the selected clothing item and information on the wearing state of the clothing item in the character displayed on the user terminal 31. Contains various information.

  When the item related information is received, the item determining unit 11 refers to the item related data table 13 (step S103) and searches for wearable clothing items. Specifically, by referring to the item-related data table 13, the wearable clothing item indicated by the item information that can be worn by the character in the wearing state specified by the wearing state specifying information included in the item-related information. Is searched for a clothing item associated with this character and / or a clothing item worn by this character.

  As a result of the search, when it is determined that the applicable clothing item is found and there is a wearable clothing item (Y in step S104), the wearable clothing item is determined as a clothing item to be coordinated, and from the coordinated clothing item image DB 14 A clothing item image indicating the corresponding clothing item is read (step S105) and superimposed on a character image indicating a character in a wearing state specified by the wearing state specifying information to generate a coordinate image (step S106).

  For example, coordinate image display information indicating the generated coordinate image is transmitted to the user terminal 31 as image display information for displaying the coordinate display screen, and a coordinate display screen indicating the coordinate image is provided (step S107). It is determined whether or not to end the clothing coordination support process depending on whether or not a support process completion notification from the terminal 31 has been received (step S108).

  On the other hand, as a result of the search in the above step S104, when it is determined that there is no applicable clothing item because no corresponding clothing item is found (N in step S104), the user terminal 31 displays, for example, “the selected clothing item is coordinated. The image display information for displaying the warning display screen for displaying the warning text such as “cannot be performed” is transmitted to provide the warning display screen (step S111), and the process proceeds to step S108.

  If it is determined that the clothing coordination support process is to be terminated (Y in step S108), the coordinated image generated in step S106 is stored and saved in the image DB 14 in a format that can be viewed not only by the user terminal 31 but also by the user terminals 32-3N. (Step S109), the coordinated image registration information to be registered by pasting and storing the stored and coordinated coordinated image on the blog site of the user Y managed by the blog server 20 is transmitted to the blog server 20 (Step S110). Exit. If it is determined not to end the clothing coordination support process (N in step S108), the process proceeds to step S101 and the process is continued.

  As described above, with respect to the selected clothing item selected by the user Y, the item-related data table 13 is referenced to search for a clothing item associated with the displayed clothing item having a different display form and is worn. Since coordinate images are generated by deciding possible clothing items and then overlaying the clothing item images on the character image using the images, complicated image calculation processing and expensive hardware for supporting clothing coordination Wear is unnecessary.

  In step S107, coordinated image display information indicating a coordinated image is transmitted to the user terminal 31 as image display information for displaying the coordinated display screen to provide the coordinated display screen. Result information on the result (that is, information indicating that a wearable clothing item has been determined) is transmitted as image display information, and a coordinate image or the like is generated on the user terminal 31 side to provide a coordinate display screen. Good.

  The coordinated image registration information transmitted in step S110 may be information that causes the blog server 20 to register the coordinated image by pasting it on the blog site in the form of an electronic album. If the coordinated image is registered in the form of an electronic album, the history of clothing coordinates indicated by the coordinated image can be provided to a user who operates the other user terminals 32 to 3N so as to be widely viewable.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the coordinate display screen provided by the clothing coordination support process of this example. As shown in FIG. 7, on the coordinate display screen 200 displayed on the user terminal 31, a coordinate image that displays a coordinate image 211 of the character and a clothing item (displayed clothing item) displayed in a worn state on the character. A display area 210 and a clothing item display area 220 for displaying a plurality of selectable clothing items (items that can be tried on) that can be selected by the user Y as clothing items to be worn on the coordinated image 211 of the coordinated image display region 210 are provided. It has been.

  In the coordinated image display area 210, for example, a user display area for displaying information related to the user Y playing clothes coordination, and a slide bar 212 for instructing to change the display magnification of the displayed coordinated image 211 are displayed. A “save” button 213 for instructing the storage of the coordinated image 211 being displayed, a “clear” button 214 for instructing the clearing of the wearing state display of the clothing item in the coordinated image 211, and the displayed coordinated image 211 "Add to style book" button 215 for instructing addition to the style book described later, and the product name of each clothing item in the wearing state represented by the coordinated image 211 and the product detailed information of each clothing item Switch to the page to display A clothing item information display area 216 for displaying the click, is provided. In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, the clothing product corresponding to the clothing item represented by the coordinated image 211 can be purchased from the link of the detailed product information in the clothing item information display area 216. For processing related to the purchase of clothing products, the clothing coordination support processing server 10 or the blog server 20 may perform processing, or a sales processing server (not shown) that performs processing for selling clothing products connected to the communication network 40. Etc. may perform processing.

  On the other hand, the clothing item display area 220 displays each clothing item (for example, shirt A, bottoms A, etc.) that can be coordinated with the character as a clothing product that is actually sold, and displays these clothing items. A “Previous” button 230 and a “Next” button 231 for instructing page switching, and a “Close” button 232 for instructing the end of display of each clothing item in the clothing item display area 220 are provided. It has been. In addition, since the clothing item image of each clothing item displayed in this clothing item display area 220 is an image that seems to be most appropriate for displaying the clothing item, each clothing item represented by the coordinated image 211. It is different from the clothing item image.

  In the case of performing clothing coordination using the coordinate display screen 200 configured in this way, first, for example, an input device such as a mouse provided in the user terminal 31 operated by the user Y is used to display the item display area 220. Among the fashioned items, the desired fashion item is moved onto the coordinated image 211 in the coordinated image display area 210 by dragging and dropping the mouse.

  As a result, a notification of selection is transmitted from the user terminal 31 to the clothing coordination server 10, character-related information is transmitted, and the clothing coordination support processing described above is performed by the clothing coordination support processing server 10, and a coordinate image is generated. The image display information is transmitted to the user terminal 31. Then, a coordinated image based on the image display information is displayed in the coordinated image display area 210.

  FIGS. 8 and 9 are explanatory diagrams for explaining examples of the clothing item images of the clothing items stored in the image DB 14 of the clothing coordination support processing server 10. In this system 100, for example, for each clothing item displayed in the clothing item display area 220 in FIG. 7, in addition to or instead of the clothing item image displayed in the clothing item display area 220, it is adapted to various characters. Clothing item images of different sizes are prepared in association with each other.

  That is, for example, for the shirt A which is a clothing item displayed in the clothing item display area 220, as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, the shirt A1, the shirt A2, the shirt A3, etc. having different sizes, respectively. A clothing item image representing is prepared. Moreover, about the bottoms A which is the clothing item displayed on the clothing item display area 220, as shown to FIG.8 (d)-FIG.8 (f), bottoms A1, bottoms A2, bottoms A3, etc. from which size differs, respectively. The clothing item image to represent is prepared.

  In addition, for example, for boot A (not shown), for example, as shown in FIGS. 8 (g) to 8 (i), clothing item images representing boot A1, boot A2, boot A3, etc. having different sizes are prepared. . Here, the clothing item image showing each clothing item is larger in size as the number attached is larger, and item-related data according to the size of the character used in the coordinated image 211 (such as a thin shape, a fat shape). In the table 13, clothing items of appropriate sizes are associated.

  Moreover, in this system 100, it is worn by various characters and / or this character with the clothing item image displayed on the clothing item display area 220, and the clothing item image in which the size about this clothing item image shown in FIG. 8 differs. A clothing item image with a different variation of the image display form is prepared in association with each clothing item.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, when a shirt A1 of a clothing item image is an original image, a clothing item image representing a shirt A1a, a shirt A1b, a shirt A1c, and the like, each of which has a different variation in image display form. (Display form deformation image) is prepared. For example, the shirt A1a shows a state where the hem portion is removed from the clothing item image of the shirt A1, the shirt A1b shows a state where the hem portion and the shoulder overhanging portion are removed from the clothing item image of the shirt A1, and the shirt A1c is a clothing item image representing a state in which the overhanging portion of the shoulder is removed from the clothing item image of the shirt A1.

  In the present system 100, each clothing item including the clothing item image configured as described above is associated in advance by the item related data table 13. Therefore, it can be worn by the character in the wearing state specified by the wearing state specifying information from the plurality of displayable clothing items (for example, shirt A1a, shirt A1b, etc.) about the selected clothing item (for example, shirt A1). A wearable clothing item (for example, shirt A1a) is associated with a character (for example, body A) or a worn clothing item (for example, jacket A1a), and is a clothing item that indicates the determined wearable clothing item. It is possible to easily perform clothing coordination without any contradiction in expression using images.

  FIGS. 10 and 11 are explanatory diagrams for explaining an example of the configuration of the clothing item image for a part of the coordinated image 211 displayed in the coordinated image display area 210. As shown in FIG. 10 (a), for example, for a coordinated image composed and displayed with a clothing item image of body A and hair A1a, the clothing is coordinated so that a desired hat A1 is worn as a selected clothing item As shown in FIG. 10B, a coordinated image composed of clothing item images of the body A, the hair A1b, and the hat A1a associated by the item-related data table 13 is displayed.

  That is, in the item related data table 13, as described in the item related data table B shown in FIG. 4, the character body is the body A, the wearable clothing item is the hat A1, and the worn clothing item. When the hair A1 is combined, if the combination configuration of the clothing item image is left as it is, a contradiction in expression such as the hair A1 protruding from the hat A1 occurs. For this reason, the coordinate image comprised by the clothing item image of the body A, hair A1b, and hat A1a as a clothing item linked | related previously in order to prevent such a malfunction is produced | generated and displayed.

  In addition, when the clothing is coordinated so that the desired headband A1 is worn as the selected clothing item, the item-related data as shown in FIG. 10 (c) is based on the same concept as shown in FIG. 10 (b). A coordinated image composed of clothing item images of the body A, the hair A1c, and the headband A1a associated by the table 13 is displayed.

  In addition, although omitted regarding the character body, for example, in the case where the outfit is coordinated so that the desired jacket A1 is worn as the selected outfit item on the coordinated image on which the shirt A1 shown in FIG. 9 is displayed, FIG. As shown in (d), a coordinated image composed of the clothing item images of the shirt A1a and the jacket A1a from which the hem portion associated by the item-related data table 13 has been removed is displayed.

  In addition, when the clothing image is coordinated so that a desired jacket B1 is worn as a selected clothing item with respect to the coordinated image on which the shirt A1 is displayed, as shown in FIG. A coordinate image composed of a clothing item image of the shirt A1d (not shown in FIG. 9) and the jacket B1a from which the associated hem portion and shoulder overhang portion are removed is displayed.

  Furthermore, for example, when the clothing image is coordinated so that a desired jacket E1 is worn as a selected clothing item with respect to the coordinated image on which the shirt A1 is displayed, as shown in FIG. The coordinate image comprised by the clothing item image of shirt A1c and the jacket E1a from which the overhang | projection part of the shoulder linked | related by (2) was removed is displayed.

  Such clothing coordinates are applied not only to the upper body side of the character represented by the coordinated image but also to the lower body side. That is, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), for example, for a coordinated image constituted and displayed by a clothing item image of a body B and a skirt A2a, the clothing is so worn that a desired long coat E2 is worn as a selected clothing item. When coordinated, as shown in FIG. 11B, a coordinated image composed of the clothing item images of the body B, the skirt A2b, and the long coat E2a associated with each other by the item-related data table 13 is displayed.

  That is, when the character body is the body B, the wearable clothing item is the long coat E2, and the worn clothing item is a combination of the skirt A2, the combination of the clothing item images is left as it is. An inconsistency in expression such as the skirt portion of the skirt A2 protrudes from E2. For this reason, the coordinate image comprised by the clothing item image of the body B, skirt A2b, and the long coat E2a as a clothing item linked | related beforehand in order to prevent such a malfunction is produced | generated and displayed.

  In addition, when the clothing is coordinated so that the desired jacket C2 is worn as the selected clothing item, as shown in FIG. 11 (c), it is not necessary to remove and display the skirt portion for the skirt A2. A coordinated image composed of clothing item images of the body B, the skirt A2a, and the jacket C2b associated by the related data table 13 is displayed.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), for example, a desired boot E3 is worn as a selected clothing item on a coordinated image composed and displayed by clothing item images of the body C, the pants A3a, and the shoes A3a. When the clothes are coordinated, as shown in FIG. 11 (e), a coordinated image composed of the clothing item images of the body C, the pants A3c, and the boots E3a associated by the item-related data table 13 is displayed.

  In other words, when the character body is the body C, the wearable clothing item is the boot E3, and the worn clothing item is a combination of the pants A3, the decoration is applied if the combination configuration of the clothing item image remains as it is. An inconsistency in expression occurs, such as the decoration of the boot E3 hidden by the pants A3. For this reason, in such a case, the body C, the pants A3c from which the lower knee portion of the pants A3 is removed, and the boots E3a as the associated clothing items including the display priority order of the boots E3 and the pants A3 that are determined in advance. A coordinated image composed of clothing item images is generated and displayed.

  Thus, when displaying the coordinated image, the coordinated image is generated by superimposing the clothing item images of the clothing items associated by the item-related data table 13, so that the coordinated image eliminates inconsistencies in expression in the clothing coordination. Processing such as high-load image calculation processing for drawing can be made unnecessary.

  In the clothing coordination support process of the system 100, the coordinate image is added to the style book by pressing the “add to style book” button 215 on the coordinate display screen 200 showing the coordinated image coordinated by the user Y. It becomes possible to do. Here, the style book is a format in which various information (history information, detailed information on coordinated clothing items, etc.) regarding the coordination result of the clothing coordination performed by the user Y can be freely viewed on the user terminal 31. A data file.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the style book display screen provided by the clothing coordination support process of the system 100. As shown in FIG. 12, on the style book display screen 500 displayed on the user terminal 31, for example, a user display area displaying that it is the style book of the user Y, and the character and the character are displayed in a worn state. Are displayed in purchased coordinated image display areas 501, 502, and 503 for displaying coordinated images 511, 512, and 513 of clothing items (displayed clothing items) purchased by the user and purchased coordinated image display areas 501 to 503. “Previous” button 504 and “Next” button 505 for instructing to switch display of coordinated images to be displayed, and detailed information on the worn and purchased clothing items represented by these coordinated images 511 to 513 are displayed. "Item details" button 5 6a, 506b, 506c and the link 507a, 507b, 507c to the purchase page of the clothing product corresponding to the clothing item, and “close” for instructing the end of the display of the coordinated images 511 to 513 on the style book display screen 500 Button 508 is provided.

  The style book display screen 500 configured in this way is an electronic album format screen that can be viewed not only on the user terminal 31 but also on the other user terminals 32 to 3N, and the coordinate book displayed on the style book display screen 500 is displayed. By browsing the images 511 to 513, it is possible to easily refer to other people's clothing coordinates. Moreover, since it becomes possible to purchase the clothing product corresponding to each clothing item coordinated not only from the coordinate display screen 200 described above but also from the style book display screen 500, the convenience of the user is improved. Information resources such as coordinated images can be used widely and effectively.

  The clothing coordination support processing server 10 of the system 100 registers, for example, the coordinate images 511 to 513 displayed on the style book display screen 500 by pasting them on the blog site of the user Y managed by the blog server 20.
