Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of a clothing registration system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
A clothing registration system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mobile communication terminal 1, a short-range wireless communication tag 3 (corresponding to the short-range wireless communication storage medium of the present invention), and an identifier 4. The mobile communication terminal 1 is connected to the network 5.

The mobile communication terminal 1 is a multi-function mobile communication terminal having various functions in addition to a telephone and mail, such as a so-called smartphone or tablet terminal.
The near field communication tag 3 is, for example, an NFC (Near Field Communication) tag or the like, and an antenna, a rewritable recording unit, and wireless power feeding at a relatively near distance of about several centimeters to several tens of centimeters through the antenna. And an IC chip for receiving and performing wireless communication.

The identifier 4 is an identifier such as a one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED).
The network 5 is a public network that can be connected using a communication function of the mobile communication terminal 1 or the like via a mobile phone line or a wireless LAN, for example, the Internet.

  Here, in the clothing registration system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, both the short-range wireless communication tag 3 and the identifier 4 are used together to provide information to the mobile communication terminal 1. Specifically, the short-range wireless communication tag 3 that is more expensive than the identifier 4 stores information on clothes that has a large amount of information, and the identifier 4 stores information in the short-range wireless communication tag 3 that has a small amount of information. Information other than the stored information is stored. Thereby, function distribution (function sharing) satisfying cost performance is achieved, and the mobile communication terminal 1 is configured to read necessary information from either the short-range wireless communication tag 3 or the identifier 4.

Note that information with a large amount of information is stored in the short-range wireless communication tag 3 for the following reasons, for example.
First, in order for the short-range wireless communication tag 3 to receive power from the mobile communication terminal 1 without imposing a large power burden on the mobile communication terminal 1 to be fed, it is necessary to use short-range communication that requires a relatively low frequency. This is desirable.
Further, as will be described later, the mobile communication terminal 1 may read information from any of the plurality of short-range wireless communication tags 3, but it is the maximum communication distance of short-range wireless communication, for example, several centimeters to several tens of centimeters By disposing a plurality of short-range wireless communication tags 3 separated by at least a meter, interference with other tags can be avoided. That is, since it is sufficient that the mutual distance is about several centimeters to several tens of centimeters, a plurality of short-range wireless communication tags 3 can be arranged, and various information can be provided.
The information stored in the short-range wireless communication tag 3 and the information stored in the identifier 4 will be described in detail later.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the mobile communication terminal 1.
As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile communication terminal 1 includes an imaging unit 11, a display unit 12, an operation unit 13, a short-range wireless communication unit 14, a network communication unit 15, a short-range wireless communication antenna 16, a network antenna 17, a ROM 18, A memory 19, a CPU 20, and a battery 21 are included.
The imaging unit 11 is a digital camera module that includes a lens, an imaging element, and the like, and digitally converts an imaging signal output from the imaging element. The conversion result is stored in the memory 19 by the CPU 20.

The display unit 12 is a display device that displays the imaging results of the imaging unit 11 and the execution results of various application software executed by the CPU 20, such as a liquid crystal display and an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display.
The operation unit 13 is an operation device such as a touch panel, for example, and accepts user operations.

The short-range wireless communication unit 14 is a communication device capable of short-range wireless communication with the short-range wireless communication tag 3 described above.
The network communication unit 15 is a communication device that performs wireless communication with the network 5 using a mobile phone line or the like.

The short-range wireless communication antenna 16 is a built-in antenna used by the short-range wireless communication unit 14 for wireless communication with the short-range wireless communication tag 3 using a short-range wireless communication method such as NFC. Transmission / reception is performed using radio waves in the MHz frequency band such as 56 MHz. In addition, the short-range wireless communication antenna 16 performs wireless power supply to the short-range wireless communication tag 3.
The network antenna 17 is a built-in antenna used by the network communication unit 15 for wireless communication with the network 5 using a mobile phone line or the like, and for communication between the short-range wireless communication unit 14 and the short-range wireless communication antenna 16. Transmission / reception is performed using radio waves in a frequency band higher than the used frequency band, for example, 800 MHz to 2 GHz.

  As described above, the mobile communication terminal 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes two communication units (the short-range wireless communication unit 14 and the network communication unit 15) and two antennas (the short-range wireless communication antenna 16 and the network antenna 17). However, since the frequency band to be used is significantly different, no interference occurs.

A ROM (Read Only Memory) 18 is a storage medium in which a program executed by the CPU 20 is stored.
The memory 19 is a storage medium that can be written a plurality of times, such as a flash memory, and is a storage medium that stores various data (various application software, image data, and the like) used for processing performed by the CPU 20.
The memory 19 corresponds to the recording unit of the present invention.

A CPU (Central Processing Unit) 20 controls various processes executed in the mobile communication terminal 1. That is, for example, the CPU 20 executes various application software, controls various configurations of the mobile communication terminal 1, and the like. Examples of application software executed by the CPU 20 include clothing management application software, which will be described later, and writing application software that writes information to the short-range wireless communication tag 3 via the short-range wireless communication antenna 16.
The CPU 20 corresponds to the control unit of the present invention.

  Various application software, including clothing management application software and writing application software, may be preinstalled at the time of factory shipment of the mobile communication terminal 1, for example. It may be downloaded from a predetermined server and installed.

The battery 21 supplies power to each component of the mobile communication terminal 1.
When the CPU 20 communicates with the short-range wireless communication tag 3, power is supplied from the battery 21 to the short-range wireless communication tag 3 by performing non-contact power transmission to the short-range wireless communication tag 3. Since power is supplied to the short-range wireless communication tag 3 with low power, little power is supplied from the battery 21 when communicating with the short-range wireless communication tag 3.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the short-range wireless communication tag 3.
An IC (Integrated Circuit) chip 21 receives power from the mobile communication terminal 1 via an antenna 32, transmits and receives data, stores data received from the mobile communication terminal 1 in a storage unit, and stores data in the storage unit. The stored information is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 1.
The IC chip 31 corresponds to the storage unit and the wireless communication unit of the present invention.

Next, clothing management application software that runs on the mobile communication terminal 1 will be described.
The clothing management application software is application software that has a function of collecting, classifying, and managing data relating to various types of clothing, and displaying the combinations according to user requests.
In the present embodiment, as an example of data relating to clothing, a case where clothing image data that is image data of clothing is used will be described.

Specifically, the clothing management application software classifies and displays the clothing image data so that the user can easily search for a desired item, and when each image data is actually worn according to the user's selection. It has a function to display by arranging or partially overlapping so as to understand the state of. Thereby, the user can confirm the combination of clothing and can judge whether the combination is good or bad. In the present invention, “clothing” includes shoes, bags, accessories, and other small items in addition to clothes such as shirts, pants, and jackets.
In order to search and combine clothing image data using such clothing management application software, it is necessary to classify and register clothing image data as a previous step.

In the clothing registration system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, information for classifying clothing is stored in advance in the short-range wireless communication tag 3, and the functions are easily read by the mobile communication terminal 1. Allows registration of clothing image data.
Here, in this specification, information for classifying clothing image data is referred to as classification information.
The classification information is information indicating which one of the classification elements is an element that can classify clothing.

Specifically, the classification element includes, for example, “color” of clothing such as white, black, and red, “pattern” such as plain, stripe, and check, and “category (type of clothing)” such as jacket, pants, and skirt. It is an element indicating how clothing is classified, such as “material” such as cotton, wool, and nylon.
The classification information is information that actually indicates one of the classification elements. For example, when the classification element is the color of clothing, it is information (such as “white”) indicating the actual color, and when the classification element is a pattern of clothing, which pattern is actually If the classification element is a clothing category, the information indicating the actual category (such as “jacket”), and the classification element is the clothing material. In some cases, it is information (such as “cotton”) indicating which material is actually used.
By associating the classification information described above with the clothing image data, the clothing image data is classified and registered, and the clothing image data can be managed and searched.

When newly registering clothing image data, the user selects the short-range wireless communication tag 3 storing the classification information corresponding to the clothing to be registered, and carries the classification information from the selected short-range wireless communication tag 3. By reading with the communication terminal 1, new clothing image data is classified and registered based on the classification information.
One type of classification information is stored in one short-range wireless communication tag 3.

These short-range wireless communication tags 3 indicate which short-range wireless communication tags 3 store which classification information is stored so that the user can easily understand when registering clothing image data. It is desirable that the short-range wireless communication tag 3 that stores the classification information of the same classification element is pasted on a piece of paper, a plate, or the like.
FIGS. 4 to 6 show examples in which the stored contents of the short-range wireless communication tag 3 are clearly written on the package and attached to a plate-like object.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a color board 200 on which a plurality of short-range wireless communication tags 3 for storing the color of clothing image data to be newly registered are pasted.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a pattern board 300 on which a plurality of short-range wireless communication tags 3 storing patterns of clothing image data to be newly registered are pasted.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a category board 400 in which a plurality of short-range wireless communication tags 3 that store categories of clothing image data to be newly registered are pasted.

  As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, in this embodiment, a short object wireless communication tag 3 in which the stored classification information is clearly specified is attached to a plate-like object (for example, a cork board or paper). Is referred to as “-board” (in which “-” is a classification element name corresponding to the classification information stored in the pasted short-range wireless communication tag 3 such as “color”, “pattern”, “category”, etc.). Here, the short-range wireless communication tags 3 to be pasted on each board can communicate with the short-range wireless communication tags 3 to prevent interference with other short-range wireless communication tags 3 when communicating with the mobile communication terminal 1. It is desirable to keep the distance, for example, about several centimeters to over a dozen centimeters or more.

For example, the color board 200 shown in FIG.
(A) “White” tag 201 storing classification information that the color of clothing is white
(B) “Black” tag 202 storing classification information that the color of clothing is black
(C) “Gray” tag 203 storing classification information that the color of clothing is gray
(D) “Red” tag 204 storing the classification information that the color of clothing is red
(E) “Blue” tag 205 storing classification information that the color of clothing is blue
(F) “Yellow” tag 206 storing classification information that the color of clothing is yellow
(G) “Green” tag 207 storing classification information that the color of clothing is green
(H) “Purple” tag 208 storing classification information that the color of clothing is purple
Etc. are pasted.
In each tag, the stored classification information may be written in characters, or each tag may be colored in a stored color. Further, the short distance wireless communication tag 3 corresponding to a color other than those described above (for example, brown, pink, amber, etc.) may be further attached to the color board 200.

Moreover, in the pattern board 300 shown in FIG.
(A) "Plain" tag 301 storing classification information that the pattern of clothing is plain
(B) “Striped” tag 302 storing classification information that the pattern of clothing is a stripe
(C) “Check” tag 303 storing classification information that the pattern of clothing is a check
(D) “Print” tag 304 storing classification information that the pattern of clothing is a print pattern
(E) “Woven pattern” tag 305 storing classification information that the pattern of clothing is a woven pattern
Etc. are pasted.
In each tag, the stored classification information may be written in characters, or the pattern in which each tag is stored may be visually exemplified. Further, the short-range wireless communication tag 3 corresponding to a pattern (for example, a border, a camouflage, a floral pattern, etc.) other than those described above may be further attached to the pattern board 300.

Furthermore, the category board 400 shown in FIG.
(A) "Tops" tag 401 storing classification information that the category of clothing is tops
(B) “Jacket / Outer” tag 402 storing classification information that the category of clothing is jacket / outer
(C) “Pants” tag 403 storing classification information indicating that the category of clothing is pants.
(D) “Skirt” tag 404 storing classification information that the category of clothing is a skirt
(E) “One piece” tag 405 storing classification information that the category of clothing is one piece
(F) “suit” tag 406 storing classification information that the category of clothing is a suit
(G) “Bag” tag 407 storing classification information that the category of clothing is a bag
(H) “Shoes” tag 408 storing classification information that the category of clothing is shoes
Etc. are pasted.
For each tag, the stored classification information may be written in characters, or an illustration or the like that shows the category in which each tag is stored at a glance may be displayed.

  In addition, since the near field communication tag 3 uses a rewritable storage medium such as an NFC tag, the content (classification information) stored in the near field communication tag 3 is, for example, a specific information of the mobile communication terminal 1 By using application software (writing application software described later), rewriting can be easily performed. That is, the content stored in the short-range wireless communication tag 3 affixed to each board shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 is not constant, and new classification information that allows the user to classify clothes that the user has. It may be rewritten as That is, for example, one of the tags attached to the color board can be rewritten as a “brown” tag, or all tags on a board can be replaced with “cotton” tags, “wool” tags, “nylon” tags, etc. The contents of the tag may be rewritten so as to correspond to "."

When the user newly registers clothing image data in the clothing management application software of the mobile communication terminal 1, the mobile communication terminal 1 in a state in which the clothing management application software is activated is classified for the classification shown in FIGS. The classification information stored in the short-range wireless communication tag 3 is read by the portable communication terminal 1 by bringing it close to (holding over) one of the short-range wireless communication tags 3 attached to the board, and the clothing image data Are associated with the read classification data.
Specifically, for example, when registering clothing image data of a gray striped jacket, the “gray” tag 203 of the color board 200, the “stripe” tag 302 of the pattern board 300, and the “jacket / Hold the “outer” tag 402 and the mobile communication terminal 1 in order (the order in which they are held may be mixed). Then, the short-range wireless communication unit 14 of the mobile communication terminal 1 reads out the classification information stored in each tag, and the classification information “gray”, “stripe”, “jacket / outer” is associated with the new clothing image data. . The clothing management application software of the mobile communication terminal 1 classifies each clothing image data by associating the clothing image data with the classification information in this way.

In addition to the color, pattern, and category described above, “wearing month” may be registered as classification information as information indicating a season, time, month, and the like suitable for wearing the clothing.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a wearing month board 500 for registering “wearing month”, which is classification information indicating which month the clothing should be worn in.
As shown in FIG. 7, a QR code (registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED) including the month name as information is printed and pasted on the wearing month board 500 as an identifier 4 corresponding to each month. It has been.

Each tag attached to the color board 200, the pattern board 300, and the category board 400 shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 described above can be rewritten, so that it can be rewritten, such as an NFC tag. The near field communication tag 3 was used as a medium.
On the other hand, in the case of the wearing month board 500, it is only necessary to read the classification information corresponding to each month from January to December, and the content of the classification information is fixed and does not need to be rewritten. What is necessary is just to use the identifier 4 which is a simpler and cheaper medium, without using a storage medium like the tag 3.
In the present embodiment, the QR code is attached to the wearing month board 500, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead of the QR code, another type of identifier that can be read by the mobile communication terminal 1, such as a barcode, may be used.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the wearing month board 500, paper or the like describing the identifier 4 corresponding to each month from January to December is pasted on a plate-like object. In FIG. 7, the case where the identifier 4 is a two-dimensional code is assumed as a specific example.
In the embodiment described above, the month is assumed as the “wearing month” as the classification information, but the present invention is not limited to this. The name of the season and time suitable for wearing clothes may be set as classification information instead of the month. Specifically, for example, “spring” or “summer” may be set as the classification information “wear season”, and “rainy season” may be set as the classification information “wear season”.

  When a user newly registers clothing image data in the clothing management application software of the mobile communication terminal 1, the user follows registration of clothing image data based on the classification information read from the color board 200, the pattern board 300, the category board 400, and the like. Then, using the wearing month board 500, the identifier 4 corresponding to the month suitable for wearing the clothing to be registered is read by the imaging unit 11 of the mobile communication terminal 1, and the read month is registered in association with the clothing image data. To do.

The above-described color board 200, pattern board 300, category board 400, wearing month board 500, etc., a board on which a plurality of papers with the short-range wireless communication tag 3 and the identifier 4 are pasted are the clothing management application software of the mobile communication terminal 1. It is desirable that the user create the image before registering the clothing image data.
Alternatively, a board on which some short-range wireless communication tags 3 in which classification information such as common colors and patterns are stored in advance is pasted by a third party other than the user and displayed at a predetermined place. Or may be sold. Of course, even in this case, the classification information of the short-range wireless communication tag 3 attached to each board can be rewritten by the mobile communication terminal 1 used by a third party or the like.

  Each of the boards described above is merely an embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, the paper in which each short-range wireless communication tag 3 or the identifier 4 of the same classification element is necessarily used is a plate-like object. There is no need to paste it. In the present invention, it is sufficient if the user can clearly grasp the classification information stored in each short-range wireless communication tag 3 or identifier 4 by looking at the paper on which the short-range wireless communication tag 3 or the identifier 4 is described. In the operation example of the clothing registration system 100 described below, it is assumed that clothing image data is classified and registered using each board for the convenience of description.

  In the clothing registration system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, as described above, when newly registering clothing image data in the clothing management application software, the classification information corresponding to the clothing image data to be registered is displayed on the touchpad or button. The portable communication terminal 1 can be held over the short-range wireless communication tag 3 attached to the color board 200, the pattern board 300, the category board 400, etc. Since it can be easily performed by simply reading the identifier 4, it is possible to greatly save the user's trouble at the time of registration.

Next, in the clothing registration system 100, an operation example when newly registering clothing image data in the clothing management application software operating on the mobile communication terminal 1 will be described.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation example when new image data of clothing is registered in the clothing registration system 100.

Step ST32:
The CPU 20 of the mobile communication terminal 1 accepts selection of any of the four buttons on the classification element selection screen 600 by the user via the operation unit 13.
Step ST33:
The CPU 20 of the mobile communication terminal 1 displays a classification information selection screen 700 on the display unit 12 in accordance with the button selected by the user in step ST32.
An example of the classification information selection screen 700 is illustrated in FIGS.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a color classification information selection screen 710.
FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a pattern classification information selection screen 720.
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a category classification information selection screen 730.
FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a selection screen 740 for classification information of wearing months.

The CPU 20 of the mobile communication terminal 1 displays a list of items corresponding to the respective classification elements from the classification information associated with the registered clothing image data.
For example, the color classification information selection screen 710 shown in FIG. 11 includes “white”, “black”, “gray”, “red”, “blue”, “yellow”, “green”, and “purple” colors. Displayed when clothing image data associated with color information is registered.
Further, the pattern classification information selection screen 720 shown in FIG. 12 includes clothing image data associated with the pattern information of each pattern of “plain”, “stripe”, “check”, “print”, and “woven pattern”. Displayed when is registered.
The category classification information selection screen 730 shown in FIG. 13 includes “tops”, “jacket / outer”, “pants”, “skirt”, “one piece”, “suit”, “bag”, and “shoes”. Displayed when clothing image data associated with the category information of each category is registered.
Also, the wearing month classification information selection screen 740 shown in FIG. 14 is displayed when clothing image data associated with information indicating a month suitable for wearing clothing is registered.
Note that the classification information selection screen 700 illustrated in FIGS. 11 to 14 is an example, and the displayed items can be freely changed according to the classification information corresponding to the registered clothing image data.

Step ST34:
The CPU 20 of the mobile communication terminal 1 receives the user's selection operation on the classification information selection screen 700 displayed in step ST <b> 33 via the operation unit 13.
Step ST35:
The CPU 20 of the mobile communication terminal 1 displays a list of clothing image data corresponding to the classification information selected by the user, received in step ST34.

Extract the data and display it side by side. Furthermore, when “check” is selected on the screen shown in FIG. 12, the clothing image data associated with the pattern information “check” is selected from the clothing image data corresponding to the color information “red”. Extract and display side by side.

In this way, the user can display desired clothing image data on the display unit 12.
Note that steps ST32 to ST35 are preferably repeated four times in total, once for each of color, pattern, category, and wearing month. However, when there is a classification element that the user does not select, the classification information of a specific classification element may not be selected in accordance with an operation via the operation unit 13 or the like. That is, it is good also as selecting about each classification information of a color, a category, and a wearing month, but not selecting about pattern information. In the operation example described above, the selection of the classification information in the classification element is performed in the order of color, pattern, category, and wearing month, but the present invention is not limited to this. The order of classification information selection can be freely changed.

  In the above-described operation example, as the classification information “wearing month”, the month most suitable for wearing the clothing is assumed for only one month. However, since clothing changes in accordance with the season, when a month is selected as the classification information “wearing month”, one month before and after the selected month is registered as the classification information “wearing month”. All the image data may be extracted and displayed in step ST35. That is, for example, when March is selected as the wearing month, the clothing month classification information includes the clothing image data for February and the clothing image data for April in addition to the clothing image data for March. You may make it do. This makes it possible to display clothing image data more suitable for the time.
