JPH117466A - Method for selecting and simulating glass frame or the like at the time of purchasing it - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method enabling a purchaser to select, design and create individualistic, charming and original glasses, sun glasses or the like matched with his (or her) scence of values or sensitivity without purchasing a commodity one-sidedly supplied by a maker or a store. SOLUTION: At the time of purchasing glasses, a consumer 4 perticipates the selection of glasses by using integrated software produced by plugging the designs 1 of glasses and material colors/patterns 2 in photograph synthesis application software and a personal computer 3 and simulatively fits a selected glass frame to a face picture photographed by a digital camera 6. While selecting, combining and simulating a design, a material color, a name, a decorative accessary, a lens color, and concentration, the consumer 4 creates the design of original glasses, sun glasses or the like and a commodity is produced based on the design.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is based on the concept that a consumer selects and simulates a design, a material, a color, a lens color, a lens color, etc. using a computer and integrated software at the time of purchase of eyeglasses, fashion glasses, sunglasses, etc. And methods for creating and ordering personal glasses.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, spectacle frames have been planned and developed by manufacturers without any involvement of consumer needs and demands in the design, color, and picture portions, and have been mass-produced in factories by mechanization. Therefore, there are a large number of similar products without uniformity and attractiveness that cannot follow fashion trends with a uniform design, and have a very small selection range at the time of purchase for consumers. It was a one-sided supply from the manufacturer, and I could hardly participate in creation. The so-called existing frame simulation system merely supports the consumer's purchasing choice by comparing the image taken with a video camera with the existing frame on a television monitor.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is not intended to provide consumers with unilateral products supplied by manufacturers or retailers who do not match their values and sensibilities at the time of purchase of eyeglasses, sunglasses, etc. How to support the selection and simulation for creation so that you can purchase your own original glasses, fashion glasses, sunglasses etc. that are unique and attractive by participating in the creation of design etc. It is intended to be provided.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for selecting and simulating eyeglass frames at the time of purchase. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a design item of eyeglass frames and a material (glass-based plastic) for the eyeglass frames are provided. , Metal) color and pattern patterns are plugged into the photo synthesis application software, and using the integrated software and the personal computer, the consumer takes a picture with the digital camera on the personal computer screen while participating together at the point of purchase Designing the design, material, pattern, color, name, decoration accessories, lens color, lens color density by selecting and combining the design, material, pattern, color, and the design of the original personal glasses, sunglasses, etc. Can be created and ordered It is those that have taken the way to come.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments (methods) of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment (method) in which a consumer's face for purchasing eyeglasses, fashion glasses, sunglasses or the like is photographed by a digital camera and the photographed image is recorded on a personal computer. 1 shows an overview of the flow of an acquisition system.

FIG. 2 shows an example in which integrated software for selecting and simulating at the time of purchase, such as a spectacle frame in which a consumer's face previously photographed is produced, is captured on a personal computer screen. At this point, enlarge / reduce the face photo size to any size and fit.
On the screen, design items, material color / pattern pattern, lens color, lens color density, name input, selection of decorative accessories, and simulation system are set up.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which a spectacle frame selected by a consumer from a large number of design items is simulated on a face photograph by operating a computer.

FIG. 4 shows the operation of a computer by selecting the color and pattern of the consumer's preference from the colors and pattern of a large number of materials in which the eyeglass frames of the selected design are set up. This shows that the pattern and color of the eyeglass frame are changed by instantaneous synthesis conversion.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which the design, color, and pattern of the eyeglass frame are repeatedly selected and simulated to create a consumer's favorite one, and the lens color and lens color density are calculated by computer when the user wants to finish the sunglasses. This shows the state of selecting and simulating by the operation of.

[0011] In this way, the consumer participates in the creation himself, operates the computer, repeatedly selects and simulates, and produces and consumes the original personal glasses, fashion glasses, sunglasses, etc. at the manufacturing factory based on the design and instructions completed. I will hand it to the person as soon as it is completed.

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment, in which a design image brought by a customer is imported into a computer using a scanner using this integrated software, and the selected material, color, and pattern pattern are extracted. It shows that you can simulate the finished image with your own face by compositing on a computer screen. Implementation of full order system.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, using this method, one's own personal glasses,
You can create fashion glasses and sunglasses on order. Consumers can participate directly, and there are tens of thousands of ways to select designs, colors, pattern patterns, name inserts, decorative accessories, lens colors, and lens color densities.
In the total fashion from head to toe, eyeglasses and sunglasses are tailored to fashion trends,
We can realize total coordination with cosmetics, wear, bags, accessories, shoes,
You can enjoy glasses and sunglasses as fashion. In addition, by this method, the construction of a quick response system at the time of purchase, ordering, production, and delivery substantially eliminates the burden on inventory and changes the management structure and retail price of the retail store. Therefore, it has an effect on the consumer's willingness to purchase, the awareness change and development of the eyeglass industry.
