Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate and secure the production of a dress matching the taste of an orderer by providing previously the design of each part necessary for dress making, and displaying the state of the combination of these parts on a computer illustration. CONSTITUTION:When a picture is selected successively by three switches 11 to 13 on a joy card 10, and in addition, a desired menu is selected from along the menus displayed on the picture, the design of the dress is generated in a computer 1, and the result is displayed on a color display 3. When the design by which the orderer can be satisfied is determined, it is printed out to a color printer 4. Because the design is generated while looking the final design, the design of the dress matching the taste can be generated.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to orders for dresses, mainly wedding dresses.
The present invention relates to a dress coordination method in which an orderer can select a desired design from among variations of each part constituting a dress and check the finished state of the design using computer illustration.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when ordering a wedding dress (hereinafter simply referred to as a dress) at an order salon, the following method is used. In other words, the designer at the order salon shows the orderer (bride) things that will be helpful in deciding on the design of the dress, such as magazines and samples from store inventory.
After consulting with both parties, the designer draws a design drawing that incorporates the client's wishes. Once the design of the dress has been decided in this way, the next step is to select the fabric based on samples and fabric swatches, and then proceed to make the dress.

Furthermore, when ordering a dress via a costume rental store, the clerk at the costume rental store first listens to the orderer's wishes based on reference materials such as magazines and samples of store inventory. next,
The store clerk sends the orderer's wishes to the manufacturer who makes the dress, and also communicates the orderer's wishes to the manufacturer's designer by letter or telephone.

Then, the manufacturer's designer draws a design drawing of the dress based on the data received from the store clerk and sends it to the costume rental store along with the fabric sample. When the design drawings and fabric samples are delivered to the costume rental shop in this way, the staff at the costume rental shop shows them to the customer. If the orderer gives the OK, the dress begins to be manufactured, and if the orderer does not give the OK, the above-mentioned work is repeated until the orderer gives the OK.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, when ordering a dress at an order salon, the orderer and designer decide on the design of the dress in a one-on-one relationship, and each dress is manufactured one by one.
The problem was that the price was very high. In addition, since the design drawings that are drawn when deciding on the design of a dress are hand-drawn one by one, it takes a lot of time to redraw them to match the wishes of the orderer, so it is important that communication between the orderer and the designer is not good. In some cases, the product was not completed as requested by the customer. In addition, when going through a costume rental store, there is a person who is not an expert in dress making between the orderer and the manufacturer, which may result in receiving orders that cannot be made or making it difficult for the orderer to communicate his or her wishes to the manufacturer. There was a problem in that it took a very long time to finalize the design drawings.

[Means to solve the problem]

A large number of designs are prepared in advance for each part required when creating a dress, and the design drawing data corresponding to each design is input into a computer using an image scanner, and when the dress design is decided, The design of each part is called up from a computer, and the assembled state of the called out parts is displayed on a display connected to the computer.

[Effect]

As mentioned above, by preparing in advance a large number of designs for each part necessary for creating a dress and displaying the combined state using computer illustrations, it is possible to easily and reliably create a dress according to the customer's preference. It allows you to do it. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a specific example of an apparatus for determining the design of a dress by the method according to the present invention.

In the figure, (1) is a computer for performing various processes when creating a dress design, (2) is a color image scanner for inputting various data necessary for creating a design into computer (1), ( 3) is a computer (
1) is a color display to display the design of the dress created in step 4, and 4 is a color printer to print out the final result displayed on color display 3. In order to create a dress design using the combinator (1), the following data is inputted into the computer (1) in advance. That is, data of basic designs (basic patterns) drawn for each type of dress, and each part drawn corresponding to each basic design,
For example, the data includes designs for sleeves, necklines, waistlines, skirts, overskirts, yoke frills, embroidery on skirt parts, artificial flowers, headdresses, ribbons, etc. Furthermore, a large number of designs for each part are prepared in advance for each part. The method of inputting the above design data into the computer (1) is to create a design drawing of each design in advance and read this design drawing with the color image scanner mentioned above.
1) is entered. Incidentally, since the image data of each of the above parts is combined into one on the color display (3), when creating the design image of each of the above-mentioned parts, the points of contact between each part are unified in advance.

Also, in parallel with the above work, a pamphlet is created in which the same basic design and design of each part are printed as input into the computer (1). In the above configuration, the procedure when the orderer (bride) actually orders a dress is as follows. First, have the orderer look at the pamphlet mentioned above, select the basic design of your choice from among the basic designs for each type listed in this pamphlet, and then select each part that corresponds to the basic design you just selected. Have them choose their favorite design from among the various designs of parts listed for each item. In this way, once the basic design and the design for each part have been decided, the next step is to select the material (fabric) for creating the dress based on the design you just selected from a material sample book prepared in advance. .

In this way, once the orderer has decided on the design after viewing the brochure, the orderer then uses the computer (
1), first, the data of the basic design selected by the orderer is called up, and then the designs of each part determined in accordance with this basic design are called up. Then, create a dress design in Conbuque (1) by combining the basic design you just called up with the design of each part you just called up, and display the result on the color display.
(3) Display it on top. In addition, the design of the above dress (hereinafter referred to as the first design) is shown on a color display (3
), the screen is divided into two screens, the A frame and the B frame, with the A frame displaying the first design as seen from the front, and the B frame displaying the rear view. By displaying this information, the customer can get a clearer idea of how the dress will look when it is finished. In this way the first design is a color display (3)
When the image is displayed, the orderer and the contractor consult with each other to make minor corrections, such as rearranging each part, on the screen. In this case, the first design you just created is temporarily stored in the computer, this first design is displayed on the B frame, and the design (hereinafter referred to as the second design) after minor corrections is displayed. By displaying the first design and the second design at the same time, the first design and the second design can be displayed in the A frame so that a comparison between the two designs can be easily performed. That is, the B frame is temporarily determined and used for displaying the design stored in the computer, and the A frame is used for editing to create the next design based on the design displayed in the B frame. Therefore, based on the second design, we further developed a third design.
When creating a design, temporarily store this second design in the computer in place of the first design,
The second design may be displayed on the B frame, and the third design may be displayed on the A frame. After the above-mentioned operations are performed several times, a final design that satisfies the orderer is determined, and the result is printed out using a color printer (4).

Once the final design is determined as described above, measurements are taken to create a dress with this design in accordance with the dimensions of the orderer. Then, the determined design and dimensions are written on a predetermined form (5) as shown in FIG.

After that, the above-mentioned form (5) filled with the data necessary to create the dress is sent to a sewing factory, the dress is completed, and the completed dress is delivered to the orderer.
