The screen displayed on the storefront terminal 4 is, for example, a screen of the appearance of the tire in a state where the wheel is mounted and the vehicle is mounted as shown in FIG.

  The order receiving means 14 has a function of receiving an order for a decorative tire designed by the user. The information received by the server 3 at the time of an order is, for example, personal information such as a tire type, model name, designed decoration, user name, address, and account number, and a tire receiving method.

  The order information acquisition means 15 is a function for a person in charge at a tire factory or the like to acquire various types of information about the decorative tires that have been ordered.

  The database 16 stores various tire shapes, various wheel shapes, various vehicle shapes, order information, user personal information, and the like.

  The information communication means 17 is a function in which the server 3 communicates with the storefront terminal 4 and the order receiving terminal 5 via the Internet.

(Configuration of store terminal)
The storefront terminal 4 includes information communication means (not shown) and information input / output means.

  The information communication unit has a function of transmitting / receiving information to / from the server 3. A Web browser connectable to the Internet line can be used as the information communication means.

  The information input / output means has an information input function for the user to design and order decorative tires, and an information output function for confirming the results with the projector 6 or the like. As the information input / output means, a PC having a projector, a display, a keyboard, a mouse, and a storage medium slot can be used.

(Design of decorative tires)
Next, the operation when the user designs a decorative tire using the decorative tire ordering system 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 5A and 5B. It is assumed that the store terminal 4 has established access to the server 3, and the database 16 of the server 3 stores various tire shapes, wheel shapes, vehicle shapes, and the like.

  In step 101, the user inputs the vehicle type, application, size, model name, etc. at the shop terminal 4 and specifies the tire to be designed. The tire is specified by vehicle type (passenger car, truck, bus, etc.), application (eco tire, studless tire, etc.), size, model name, and the like. The specified tire information is transmitted to the server 3, and the screen display means 11 of the server 3 acquires the tire shape and the like from the database 16, and causes the storefront terminal 4 to display the specified tire appearance.

  In step 102, the user designs a decorative tire at the store terminal 4. Specifically, image data such as a photograph can be used as a decoration of the side portion of the tire, an annular color line can be formed on the side portion, or characters can be attached. The storefront terminal 4 transmits the designed tire decoration to the server 3.

  In addition, when decorating the side portion with image data such as a photograph, the image conversion processing is performed in an arc shape (in the side portion, the outer side in the radial direction of the tire is longer than the inner side in the radial direction so that the outer side in the radial direction is longer). To decorate the side part as a panoramic image (annular image). The curvature is matched to the tire size.

  Alternatively, a plurality of decorative patterns may be stored in the database 16 of the server 3 and one of them may be selected to design a decorative tire. Further, the arrangement position and range of the decoration pattern may be selected from a plurality of patterns.

  In addition, the vehicle running speed and environmental conditions (clear weather, cloudy weather, nighttime, etc.) can be specified, and the decorative tire is rotated little by little around the rotation axis by the screen display means 11 so that the appearance of the tire when the vehicle is running can be obtained. A still image obtained by performing image processing by a rotational color mixing method on a moving image or a decorative tire may be created, and the created moving image or still image may be displayed on the storefront terminal 4.

  In step 103, the user inputs the wheel model name, the model of the vehicle used by the user, the body color of the vehicle, and the like at the store terminal 4, and the wheel to be attached to the decorative tire and the decorative tire are Identify the vehicle to be installed. The specified wheel and vehicle information is transmitted to the server 3, and the wheel / vehicle information acquisition means 12 of the server 3 acquires the wheel shape and the vehicle shape from the database 16, and the user stores the vehicle body color in the store. The exterior color of the vehicle is displayed on the storefront terminal 4 with the body color input from the terminal 4 and a decorative tire designed by the user. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a screen of the appearance of the tire in a state where it is mounted on the vehicle, displayed on the store terminal 4.

  In step 104, the shop terminal 4 outputs the tire decoration designed by the user to the projector 6, and the projector 6 is used to add the decoration designed by the user to the actual tire mounted on the vehicle on which the user rides. Project and display. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a state where the projector 6 projects the decoration designed by the user onto the tire of the user's vehicle.

  In step 105, the user confirms the appearance of the tire on which the decoration designed by the user is projected. If the user determines that there is a problem with the appearance, the process returns to step 102 to correct the decoration of the decorative tire.

  As described above, the decorative tire ordering system according to the present invention projects and displays the decoration designed by the user on the actual tire mounted on the vehicle on which the user has boarded, using the projector. When designing a decorative tire, the user can confirm in advance whether the decoration is in harmony with his vehicle or wheel.

(Ordering decorative tires)
Next, the operation when the user orders a decorative tire using the decorative tire ordering system will be described.

  After the design of the decorative tire is completed, the user performs an ordering process for the decorative tire at the store terminal 4. Specifically, the store terminal 4 inputs personal information such as an address and a name, a tire receiving method, and the like. The input order information and the design of the decorative tire are transmitted from the storefront terminal 4 to the server 3.

  In addition, in the case of a user who has already ordered a tire, at least a part of the input work can be made unnecessary by using information stored in the database 16 of the server 3.

  The server 3 stores the received order information in the database 16. Thereafter, the date and time of completion of the decorative tire, the charge, etc. are obtained and displayed on the storefront terminal 4.

  The person in charge of the tire factory or dealer obtains the type name, decoration, personal information of the user, etc. from the database 16 of the server 3 with the order receiving terminal 5, and the screen of the order receiving terminal 5 Can be confirmed. Thereafter, the person in charge manufactures the decorative tire and provides it to the customer, or performs a service for decorating the tire brought in from the customer.

  As described above, by using the decorative tire ordering system of the present invention, when designing a decorative tire, the user can specify whether the decoration is harmonized with the user's vehicle on the spot. Therefore, it is possible to easily design a decorative tire that matches the vehicle and the wheel.

  In addition, a person in charge of a tire factory or the like can obtain information on the received decorative tire immediately after the user places an order at the order receiving terminal, decorate the tire, and provide the user with the decorative tire.
