To this end, the terminal device 200 of the present invention may include a memory for storing programs and protocols for transmitting and receiving data to and from the clothing recommendation server 300, a microprocessor for executing and controlling various programs, and the like.

The terminal device 200 preferentially performs an access to an application (hereinafter referred to as an'app') providing device (not shown) connected to the communication network 100, for example, an app store, etc. Can be received and installed.

In addition, the terminal device 200 may be implemented in various forms. For example, the terminal device 200 described herein is a mobile phone such as a smart phone, a tablet PC, a personal digital assistants (PDA), a portable multimedia player (PMP), or an MP3 player. Of course, a fixed terminal such as a smart TV or a desktop computer may be used.

In addition, the terminal device 200 of the present invention can not be enumerated because the variations of the portable device are very diverse according to the convergence trend of digital devices, but a unit equivalent to the above-mentioned units is provided in the present invention. It can be used as a terminal device 200 according to the present invention, any device that can download and install an app related to the clothing recommendation service according to the present invention, any device can be used as the terminal device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention have.

The clothing recommendation server 300 transmits and receives various data and information for providing a clothing recommendation service according to an embodiment of the present invention to and from the terminal device 200, and recommends clothing to a user based on the various data and information. It is a server device.

2 to 4 are diagrams for explaining a clothing recommendation service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

On the other hand, in the embodiments described below, clothing, tops, bottoms, shoes, accessories, hats, underwear and all kinds of products that can be worn by the user when going out collectively can be used as a meaning.

Referring to FIG. 2, a plurality of terminal devices 200 are used to implement the present invention. Each of the plurality of terminal devices 200 is a device used by different users, and different users may be in a relationship of friends, family, lovers, and the like.

In addition, an application for a clothing shopping mall for receiving a clothing recommendation service according to an embodiment of the present invention may be installed in the plurality of terminal devices 200. However, even if the application is not installed, the clothing shopping mall may be used by using the web.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of terminal devices 200 may be connected to each other through a local area network and/or a wireless communication network. For example, the plurality of terminal devices 200 may be connected using at least one of Bluetooth, infrared communication, beacon, device-to-device (D2D) communication, and Near Field Communication (NFC) (S205).

For example, if the plurality of terminal devices 200 are connected through Bluetooth, each of the plurality of terminal devices 200 may be connected through a pairing procedure. However, as shown in FIG. 3, when the number of the plurality of terminal devices 200 is large, it may be difficult to connect all of the plurality of terminal devices 200 like a network due to the capacity problem of Bluetooth. Accordingly, each terminal device 200 may transmit an advertising signal for pairing at periodic intervals. Then, each terminal device 200 receiving the advertisement signal may transmit a response signal indicating that it has received the advertisement signal to the terminal device 200 transmitting the advertisement signal.

Then, the terminal device 200 that transmits the advertisement signal transmits a connection request signal to the terminal device 200 corresponding to the response signal having the greatest reception strength among the received response signals, and accepts it. When the signal is received, the pairing connection can be completed. Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, in order to perform pairing connection between two terminal devices 200, the terminal device 200, which has already been connected with the other two terminal devices 200, is subsequently connected to another terminal device 200 ), even if a connection request signal is received or an advertisement signal is received, a response signal or an allowance signal may not be transmitted. Meanwhile, after a specific terminal device 200 transmits a connection request signal, if an allowance signal is not received so that a certain time passes, the terminal device 200 requesting the connection is already paired with other terminal devices 200. It is possible to determine and transmit the connection request signal to the terminal device 200 corresponding to the response signal having the second reception strength, and in this way, the pairing procedure is performed while transmitting the connection request signal in the order of reception strength of the response signal. It can be done.

Further, the terminal device 200 that transmits the advertisement signal randomly selects one response signal among response signals having a reception strength of a predetermined threshold or higher among the received response signals, and the terminal device corresponding to the response signal A pairing procedure may be performed by transmitting a connection request signal to the 200. If, in this case, the allowable signal is not received after a certain time, the terminal device 200 requesting the connection determines that pairing with other terminal devices 200 has already been completed, and a response signal having a reception strength greater than or equal to the threshold Among these, among response signals other than the response signal corresponding to the previously transmitted connection request signal, a response signal may be randomly selected to transmit a connection request signal to the terminal device 200 corresponding to the corresponding response signal.

As another example, when a plurality of terminal devices 200 are connected through D2D communication, each of the plurality of terminal devices 200 periodically broadcasts a discovery signal including their own identification information. In addition, the plurality of terminal devices 200 responds to the terminal device 200 corresponding to a discovery signal that is randomly selected from among the discovery signal having the strongest reception intensity or a reception signal having a reception intensity above a threshold based on the discovery signal. Signals can be transmitted. At this time, the response signal may include identification information of another terminal device 200 that transmits the corresponding response signal, and the broadcast of the discovery signal uses a broadcasting technique, but the unicast technique can be used to transmit the response signal. have.

The terminal device 200 receiving the response signal may be connected to the other terminal device 200 by identifying the other terminal device 200 based on the identification information and transmitting a connection command signal. Even in this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the terminal device 200 connected to the two other terminal devices 200 may receive a response signal so that only one terminal device 200 can be connected to two other terminal devices 200. By not transmitting, or by transmitting a rejection signal for the connection command signal to the terminal device 200, the connection can be rejected.

As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of terminal devices 200 connected to each other is a list of purchase history and/or shopping cart purchased by a user of each terminal device 200 using a corresponding online shopping mall. The clothing list including the may be shared between the plurality of terminal devices 200 (S210). On the other hand, for the necessity of security enhancement, when sharing the purchase history and/or shopping cart list, the identification information of each terminal device 200 is transmitted and received between the connected terminal devices 200 and connected with itself based on the identification information Up to two users of the terminal device 200 can check whether they are acquaintances of their users. To this end, access to an application in which contact information such as a messenger and a phone book installed in the terminal device 200 is stored, and it is determined whether a user corresponding to the identification information is registered in the corresponding application.

If registered, the apparel list obtained through the application installed in the corresponding terminal device 200 is transmitted to up to two terminal devices 200 connected to the corresponding terminal device 200, and if not registered, the corresponding terminal device to the user It prints a query as to whether or not it is allowed to access (200), and if it receives an answer from the user, it maintains the connection, and if it does not receive an answer or receives an answer that it cannot connect, it connects via Bluetooth and D2D communication. Can hang up. In addition, if the connection is disconnected, the list may be managed so as not to perform the connection procedure according to the request of the apparel shopping mall application at least with the corresponding terminal device 200, and can be ignored even if the connection request comes.

The clothing recommendation server 300 may transmit the first clothing recommendation list to each terminal device 200. The first clothing recommendation list may be determined through the user's age, gender, height, weight, purchase history, shopping cart history, search history, and/or search history on other sites of each terminal device 200.

Upon receiving the first clothing recommendation list, the terminal device 200 may generate a second clothing recommendation list based on the shared clothing list and the first clothing recommendation list (S220). In addition, the terminal device 200 may select clothing and request payment and delivery to the clothing recommendation server 300 based on the second clothing recommendation list (S225).

The following two embodiments may be used as a method of generating a second clothing recommendation list and a method of requesting payment and delivery.

1. Example 1: Method of excluding shared clothing list

I bought my favorite clothes at a clothing store and met my friends after wearing them, but it may be difficult for my friends to wear the same clothes. If you know that you are buying the same clothing, you may be reluctant to wear it after purchasing it because there is no information about it, even though you may not have bought it.

In addition, clothes can be shared among brothers, sisters, and roommates, and the same clothes may be ordered at the same time, which may result in a waste of clothes purchase.

Therefore, in order to prevent the above-described situation from occurring, by connecting a plurality of terminal devices 200 as described above, a friend or acquaintance may receive information on clothing purchased or planned to be purchased, which may be excluded. will be.

To this end, the first clothing recommendation list is received, and among the clothing included in the first clothing recommendation list, the clothing included in the clothing list shared from the other terminal device 200 is excluded or arranged at the end of the recommendation list. Thus, a second clothing recommendation list can be generated.

At this time, it may be high that a user who has purchased or shared in a shared clothing list or stored in a shopping cart does not wear or has no intention to purchase another user of the terminal device 200. Accordingly, only clothes purchased in the recent m month or stored in the shopping cart may be excluded from the first clothing recommendation list or arranged at the end of the recommendation list.

In addition, when the terminal device 200 requests the first clothing recommendation list from the clothing recommendation server 300, based on the set setting information (for example, categories such as tops, bottoms, accessories, weather, seasons, etc.) It is possible to filter the clothes included in the shared clothing list. If the setting information is limited to'summer clothes','summer clothes' may be filtered from the clothing list, so that only'summer clothes' may be excluded from the first clothing recommendation list or sorted last.

In addition, when the setting information is limited to'rainy day', clothing related to'rainy day' may be filtered from the clothing list so that only the corresponding clothing is excluded from the first clothing recommendation list or sorted last. .

On the other hand, even if it is not based on such a setting, the terminal device 200 takes into account the current season and the expected weather within 2 to 3 months in consideration of the expected weather within 2 to 3 months in the future using the weather forecast. Based on the basis, the clothes in the clothing list may be filtered, and the filtered clothes may be excluded from the first clothing recommendation list or sorted last.

On the other hand, when considering weather, etc., the weather within 2 to 3 months later is received by the clothing recommendation server 300 from the weather forecast server (not shown) or transmitted to the terminal device 200, or the weather forecast server (not shown) ) May be transmitted directly to the terminal device 200.

Meanwhile, the terminal device 200 generating the second clothing recommendation list by the above-described method determines the purchase of the selected clothing from the user, performs a payment procedure, and requests the delivery of the clothing to the clothing recommendation server 300 Can be transferred to.

2. Example 2: A method of jointly purchasing clothes using a shared clothing list

On the other hand, when trying to buy clothing jointly between friends, lovers or family members, in order to purchase the same clothes multiple times, each person gives his opinion, or in this case, captures and sends them to a messenger or together through a single terminal device There were inconveniences such as having to choose.

Accordingly, in order to reduce such inconvenience, it is possible to perform joint purchase of clothing by using the plurality of connected terminal devices 200.

Specifically, the clothes included in the clothing list may be sent to the terminal device 200 as a list. In other words, the second recommended clothing list may be generated by collecting all the shared clothing lists. At this time, if there is an apparel that is not in the shared apparel list among the first apparel apparel list, the apparel may be added to the second apparel apparel list. In addition, each terminal device 200 may select one garment from the second recommended clothing list. Then, the clothes with the most votes can be output to the display of each terminal device 200, and a message asking for a decision to purchase them can be output together.

On the other hand, if a user of all the terminal devices 200 decides to purchase and inputs them to the terminal device 200, a payment procedure can be performed.

On the other hand, upon receiving an input not to purchase from any one terminal device 200, it is possible to inform the remaining terminal devices 200 of identification information that can identify the one terminal device 200.

In addition, a message asking for a decision to purchase is not output to all terminal devices 200, but only to the representative terminal device 200. When the representative terminal device 200 receives an input for deciding to purchase, it can inform all the terminal devices 200 and proceed with a payment procedure.

On the other hand, before proceeding with the payment process, it is possible to add a pattern to be printed on the joint clothing. In some cases, the collective purchase clothing is a group clothing, and in such a case, the printing function for the collective clothing is supported because it is often desired to perform printing such as displaying the characteristics of the collective in the collective clothing.

For example, a producer who produces a copywriter such as an image or text for printing may register a copywriter in the clothing recommendation server 300 using his terminal device. In addition, the clothing recommendation server 300 provides copywriters that are manufactured and registered by the manufacturer to a plurality of terminal devices 200, and users of each terminal device 200 can select at least one of the copywriters. In addition, the user may provide a screen of the selected clothing through the most votes through each terminal device 200 and select where to print the selected copywriter, left/right of the chest, shoulder or arm, or abdomen.

When the location where the copywriter is to be printed is selected, the clothing recommendation server 300 synthesizes the co-purchased clothing and the copywriter, and transmits the synthesized appearance to each terminal device 200 in 2D modeling or 3D modeling. When the terminal device 200 inputs a message agreeing to the corresponding design, a payment procedure is performed based on the corresponding design. In addition, consent to the design may be made only through the representative terminal device 200. If a purchase decision is made for the co-purchased clothing, a payment process may proceed.

At this time, as shown in Figure 4, each terminal device 200 can make a payment as much as the quantity they order. However, the delivery may be set as a delivery destination corresponding to the representative terminal device 200, and delivery may be performed. That is, payment is made through each terminal device 200, but delivery may be made through one delivery destination set by the representative terminal device 200.

At this time, the payment can request payment to each terminal device 200 by an amount corresponding to 1/n regardless of the quantity of clothing purchased jointly and the quantity ordered for each terminal device 200, and each terminal device ( Depending on the quantity ordered by 200), a payment amount may be charged.

In addition, the representative terminal device 200 is the terminal device 200 having the largest number of co-purchased clothing, the terminal device 200 having the most purchase history in the corresponding clothing store, and the terminal device having the most purchase amount in the corresponding clothing store 200 or the terminal device 200 in which the shipping address information is previously set in the corresponding clothing shopping mall may be set as the representative terminal device 200.

In addition, even if the delivery is performed to the delivery destination of the representative terminal device 200, delivery information for the co-purchased clothing may be shared with all terminal devices 200. For example, information on whether the co-purchased clothing is picked up at the pick-up point, whether it is being delivered, and when the delivery is expected to be delivered can be shared with all terminal devices 200 and, if necessary, alarm information is provided. Can.

Meanwhile, the user's terminal device 200 may access the clothing recommendation server 300 through an online shopping mall application installed on the terminal device 200 and receive a clothing list from the clothing recommendation server 300. Here, the clothing list may include information on clothing sold in an online shopping mall, and the clothing information may include a photo, model name, and price of clothing.

The user may select a plurality of clothes that the user wishes to purchase from among clothes included in the clothing list through the terminal device 200. In this case, the plurality of clothing selected by the user may include one or more of top, bottom, shoes, etc. for coordination recommendation. Information on a plurality of clothes selected through the terminal device 200 is transmitted to the clothing recommendation server 300 by the terminal device 200, and the clothing recommendation server 300 transmits a plurality of clothing to other terminal devices 200. Information about the field. However, when the terminal device 200 and the other terminal device 200 is connected by Bluetooth, beacon, Wi-Fi, NFC (Near Field Communication), D2D (Device-to-Device) communication, infrared communication, the terminal device The 200 may transmit information on the plurality of clothes directly to the other terminal device 200. Similarly, information transmitted and received between the terminal device 200 and the other terminal device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be transmitted and received through the clothing recommendation server 300, but the terminal device 200 and another terminal device 200 ). In addition, methods for directly transmitting and receiving information between the terminal device 200 and another terminal device 200 are as described above based on FIG. 2. That is, the connection between the terminal device 200 and another terminal device 200 may be performed as described above based on FIG. 2.

In addition, in the process of transmitting information about a plurality of clothes selected by the terminal device 200 to the other terminal device 200, the user requests the'distress' or'coordination recommendation request' function through the terminal device 200 It may be limited. That is, when the user cannot easily determine which of the various clothes to use, the user sends clothes to other terminal devices 200 connected to the corresponding online shopping mall, so that other users of the other terminal devices 200 can purchase clothes for the user Coordinating and recommending.

In this case, the user's terminal device 200 may transmit information about the user's body shape and face to the other terminal devices 200 through the clothing recommendation server 300 or directly. For example, the user's terminal device 200 models a user's face and body shape by scanning a user through a camera mounted on the terminal device 200. At this time, the user's face and body shape can be modeled by performing 3D modeling or 2D modeling. To ensure the anonymity of the user, only the user's body shape and face shape are modeled, and the user's eyes, nose, and mouth Modeling can be performed without modeling.

On the other hand, the clothing recommendation server 300 selects another terminal device 200 to transmit information about the user's body shape, face, and a plurality of clothing, and selectively displays information about the user's body shape, face, and a plurality of clothing. Can transmit.

For example, when the clothing recommendation server 300 receives a keyword through the terminal device 200, the user's body shape, face, and a plurality of clothes are transmitted to other terminal devices 200 of other users associated with the keyword. Information.

For example, when the terminal device 200 transmits the keyword'interview' to the clothing recommendation server 300 to the clothing recommendation server 300, the clothing recommendation server 300 displays the user's body shape, face, and a plurality of clothing. Information about the'other users having a position higher than the manager's level in the company' can be selected and transmitted.

As another example, when the terminal device 200 transmits the keyword'introduction' to the clothing recommendation server 300 to the clothing recommendation server 300, the clothing recommendation server 300 is similar in age to the user (eg, the user And other users whose age difference is within +5 or -5, and opposite genders (eg, if the user is a man, another user is a woman), selects other terminal devices 200 of another user and selects the user's Body shape, face, and information about a plurality of clothing may be transmitted.

Meanwhile, each of the other terminal devices 200 receiving information about the user's body shape, face, and a plurality of clothes selects clothes to be recommended to the terminal device 200 and directly or recommends clothes to the terminal device 200 It can be transmitted through the server 300.
