The present invention relates to a wear assistance system, and more particularly, in the selection of wears such as clothing, glasses, accessories, etc., the user can make a selection according to his or her preference through a digitized user's actual wearing image or wearing simulation image. A digital fitting agent is provided to assist in this.

In selecting glasses for vision correction, a user selects a product that is more suitable for his face by simulating expensive glasses or contact lenses in a pre-finished form before processing, such as lens type, color, thickness, and coating. The desire to do is strong. In addition, the user will prefer to select the glasses frames he has worn not by memory, but by recording. Such a user's desire has been extended to not only eyeglasses but also any belongings that are worn on the body such as clothing and accessories to affect the appearance of the wearer.

In this regard, much effort has been devoted to the development of a wear assistance system. As an example, as illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a glasses wearing assistance system in which a display device such as a mirror 210 and a liquid crystal display device 310 (LCD) are integrally proposed has been proposed. The wear system is equipped with an NTSC type 1/4 inch camera 220 on a part of the mirror 210 side. While the customer 20 looks at the mirror 210, the optician 30 photographs the face of the customer 20 by operating the camera 220 by using the remote controller 150 or the like. The captured image is displayed on the LCD 310 installed on the opposite side. The integrated LCD 310 and the mirror 210 of the wearing system may be designed to be rotated 180 ° so that the user can check the captured image, and by mounting a camera (not shown) on the LCD 310 side as well. You can shoot your own image while looking at the screen. The system may further include a function of selecting a spectacle frame in the photographed image so that the spectacle frame may be selected to match the spectacle frame.

A wear aid system has also been proposed to perform a variety of functions by supplementing the simple functions limited to the replacement of eyeglass frames. Such a system uses a personal computer, which typically takes the configuration shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 2, the auxiliary system includes a personal computer having an input device such as a digital camera 220 and a keyboard 160 and / or a mouse 170. The data photographed by the digital camera 220 is transmitted to the personal computer, and the user or the optician 30 performs simulation through software built in the personal computer.

An example of such a system is Korea Patent Registration No. 10-0365664. This system takes a picture of a person without glasses with a digital camera and transfers the captured still image to a personal computer through a USB port. Eyeglass frames images databased on the transferred portraits are selected by input means such as a mouse, synthesized, and simulated lenses.

However, such a personal computer-based wear assistance system is applicable only when the system is bulky and has a dedicated room for installation and counseling. Due to mobility and portability constraints, the optician 30 consults with the table 10. And customer 20 is difficult to apply to the consultation of the state facing.

In addition, the wear assistance system of this type is separated from the camera 220 and the LCD 310 for shooting so that the optician 30 to the camera 220 for shooting, to confirm and simulate the captured image Since it has to move toward the LCD 310 again, a lot of troublesome operation. In addition, in this system, since the customer 20 needs to turn his gaze toward the camera 220 to take a picture, it can give a feeling of rejection as if taking a proof picture. In addition, only the still image captured by the personal computer is transmitted so that the operator of the system cannot interactively select a picture suitable for compositing, and simulates based on the front picture when the glasses are not worn. It is far from. Moreover, it is very cumbersome that the operator has to update every new frame when it is released.

Such a conventional system has been a factor in limiting its dissemination despite the advantages of the wear assistance system by insuring that the customer does not have a familiarity with the wear assistance system.

Accordingly, there is an urgent need for a more user-friendly wear assistance system that is lighter, more mobile and simpler to operate, and can naturally shoot and simulate while the user and the operator are talking.

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a user interface 3000 of a print screen storing step displayed by an operation of the end button B2150 of FIG. 14.

As shown in the figure, a program control button and an end button B3130 such as a main menu button B3110 and a photograph button B3120 are arranged. The main menu button B3110 moves the screen to the main menu screen, and the photograph button B3120 is used to take another picture. The end button B3130 ends the work without saving the picture.

A print photo arrangement window area A3100 exists in the center of the screen, and a photo to be printed is displayed in the layout window area A3100. The picture to be printed is displayed by selecting the corresponding thumbnail in the thumbnail-nail window A3300 at the bottom. The number of pictures to be printed on a single print sheet may be selected by the print frame change buttons B3310 and B3320 on the right side of the thumb-nail window A3300. The printing frame change buttons B3310 and B3320 may be an option, for example, printing one, two and four photos on one sheet of photo paper. The screen shown shows a state where the option of printing two photos on one sheet of photo paper is selected.

On the other hand, the eye simulated according to the degree of compression of the diopter and the lens in the lens simulation process should be expressed smaller or larger than the actual size. If the eye is to be enlarged during the simulation, the eye part inside the glasses may be enlarged and expressed. However, if the eye is to be reduced, the problem is that the outline of the glasses is doubled when the eye is reduced. In addition, since the dummy lens mounted on the display frame has no anti-reflective coating, the image is reflected by blurring the illumination, and the attached tag or the like may be present, and the surrounding area of the eye may be dirty in the captured image. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the image around the eyes with the one without glasses.

18A to 18H sequentially illustrate a process of synthesizing the glasses wearing image and the glasses non-wearing image using the digital wearing assistance system according to the present invention. Referring to the drawings, first, glasses wearing images and glasses non-wearing images are prepared (Fig. 18a). The lens region (see solid line on the photo) is then selected from the glasses wearing image and the glasses non-wearing image and the center of the pupil (+ on the photo) is found (FIGS. 18B, 18C), and the two images are superimposed (FIG. 18D). Next, either image is moved to match the pupil center of one eye (eg, the right eye) of the two overlapping images (FIG. 18E). Then, either image (e.g., non-glasses image) is rotated so that the pupils of the other eye (left eye) coincide (FIG. 18F). Next, the images are superimposed so that the pupil centers of the two images coincide (FIG. 18G), and then the lens region is replaced with the image of the corresponding region of the non-wearing image in the glasses wearing image to complete the synthesis (FIG. 18H). The digital wearing assistance system of the present invention may include an image synthesizing means in the form of a program module which records the above-described compositing step in an image processing unit (chip or memory). For example, when the operator selects the lens area and the pupil center in the glasses wearing picture and the glasses not wearing picture, the two images are properly enlarged / reduced, rotated and moved to overlap the two images, and the image of the lens area is not worn. You can composite your photos. Also, in this process, the image synthesizing means may appropriately reduce or enlarge the portion to be replaced in the non-wearing photograph according to the degree of compression of the lens.

Embodiments of the present invention described above have been described mainly for use in an optician, but from the above description, it can be easily applied to clothing and accessories of the digital wearing assistance system of the present invention to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Anyone can predict. For example, when the user wants to select an earring, the system of the present invention may assist the user's selection by showing the user in advance by simulating the type, color, and the like of the earring. The same is true in the field of clothing such as hats and clothes. Furthermore, the system of the present invention can be applied to selecting a hairstyle that suits a user's taste by simulating and showing a hairstyle to a user or the like in a beauty salon. Of course, some care may be required in photographic techniques in some cases, but this limitation is independent of the essential part of the present invention and is not a factor that makes the present invention impossible.

 According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a digital wearing assistance system that can be used even in a very narrow space as compared with the prior art. Accordingly, the installation of the dedicated room is not required as in the prior art.

In addition, it is possible to reduce the weight of the system by fully implementing the digital wear assist system by a system-on-chip microprocessor without a personal computer for data processing, thereby ensuring the mobility of the system.

This allows the counselor and the customer to use the conversation naturally, allowing the user to remove the objection to the camera and to select the desired item in a comfortable state. In addition, the use of a touch screen method can further save the use space.
