Description

Method and device for recycling materials of clothing using QR codes attached to clothing

Embodiments relate to a method of managing clothes using a QR code attached to clothes. More specifically, it relates to a management method and device that can efficiently recycle clothing materials using a QR code attached to clothing.

Tens of millions of tons of textiles are thrown away worldwide every year, most of which are landfilled or incinerated. In the United States, there is also a study that the weight of clothes that one person throws away on average per year reaches 37 kg.

Recycling of textiles is urgently needed. The recycling rate of textiles is about 13% in the United States, which is far lower than the recycling rates of paper, glass, and plastic PET bottles (66%, 27%, and 29%, respectively).

In the case of recycling of the same material and color, it is possible to recycle the same material versus the same material, and there is the inconvenience of manually separating fabrics of different materials or colors. Therefore, most of the fabrics of mixed materials are thrown away without being recycled.

On the other hand, although fabrics of the same material and color can be recycled, there is no method or policy to effectively collect and recycle fabrics of the same color and same material. Recycling is taking place.

Hereinafter, a method of recycling the material of clothes using a QR code attached to clothes performed by the clothes management platform server based on the above description will be described.

In the present specification, 'clothes' is not limited to clothes, and may include various accessories such as bags, belts, scarves, necklaces, and rings. That is, in the present specification, 'clothes' is made of a recyclable material and may include any object that a person can wear or possess.

3 shows a system environment in which a method of recycling materials of clothes using a QR code attached to clothes according to an embodiment of the present specification is performed.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the clothing management platform server 300 may communicate with the user terminal 310 . For example, the clothing management platform server 300 may transmit/receive information to and from the user terminal 310 through the web, or may transmit/receive information through an app 311 installed in the user terminal 310 .

The user may photograph the QR code 321 attached to the target clothing 320 with the user terminal 310 . The QR code image obtained by photographing the QR code or information obtained from the QR code image (hereinafter, QR code image information) may be transmitted to the clothing management platform server 300 . The QR code image information may include various information included in the QR code. For example, a variety of information about clothing such as the material and manufacturer of clothing may be included, and personal information of a user that can be obtained based on a user account that has logged in to the user terminal or the application of the user terminal or the terminal OS may be included. have.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the QR code itself is unique information about the corresponding clothing, and information such as the manufacturer, distribution process, and material of the clothing may be related. For example, clothing related to an Internet address URL corresponding to the QR code. Information may be used. In addition, information of a user who purchased the corresponding clothing may be accumulated in this URL. Here, the user's information may include not only the user's personal information, but also wear or movement information after purchasing the corresponding clothing.

Although the QR code 321 is displayed on the lower left surface of the target garment 320 in FIG. 3 , this is only an example, and the QR code 321 is the inside of the garment, the inside of the sleeve, the outside of the sleeve, the back of the neck, and the pocket. It can be attached to various locations such as the inside. Also, the QR code 321 may be included in a tag to which information necessary for clothing management is attached. The user may transmit the relevant information to the platform server 300 by recognizing the QR code 321 with the user terminal.

The platform server 300 may receive QR code image information that captures the QR code attached to the clothing from the user terminal. Thereafter, the platform server 300 may extract user information and clothing information from the received QR code image information.

Here, the user information may include one or more of the user's age, gender, past clothing purchase history, clothing purchase wish history, current location, and residence. The user information may include information input while subscribing to a clothing-related service provided by the clothing management platform or various information related to an individual user who has agreed to provide the service. For example, the clothing-related service may include clothing curation, shopping, rental, laundry, and the like.

Also, the clothing information may include one or more of a material, a color, a manufacturing plant, a distribution process, and a brand. The clothing information may include predefined information related to the QR code and information (purchase date, place) generated along with the user's target clothing purchase.

As described above, when the user shoots the QR code attached to the target clothing 320 and sends the image information to the platform server 300, the platform server (QR) receives the QR code image information from the received QR code image information and the user's existing data. It is possible to extract various information about the user of the clothing and the history and material of the clothing.

Thereafter, the platform server 300 may obtain one or more QR code image information and group users based on the user information and clothing information extracted therefrom. Accordingly, the platform server 300 may classify clothing and information related to the user by user, clothing model, size, material, clothing use, clothing purchaser location, and the like.

4A to 4C show examples of classifying users according to an embodiment of the present specification.

Referring to FIG. 4A , a table in which clothing users of the same group are classified by clothing model name is displayed. Also, FIG. 4B shows a table in which users who purchased clothes of the same material and color are classified as users of the same group of clothes.

Referring first to FIG. 4A , the platform server 300 assigns a code 411 to each group, includes an image or clothing model name 412 representing the group, and corresponding users 413 in the same group. ) can be listed. However, when users are divided by clothing model as described above, user clothing of different sizes may be grouped into one group, but clothing of different styles or uses may not be grouped into one group.

Referring to FIG. 4B , the platform server 300 may group clothing users in the same group based on the material and color of the clothing as information essential for recycling of the clothing material. As shown in the codes shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B , the criteria for each classification may be used independently or in parallel. For example, codes have a concept of parent and child, and some codes may be included in other codes. Here, the material of the clothing may include various materials such as polyester, cotton, rayon, polyurethane, wool, acrylic, nylon, cashmere, and the like, but is not limited to a specific material.

Fig. 4c shows a more specific classification in Fig. 4b. FIG. 4C shows that a new column 440 may be added between the second column 422 and the third column 423 of FIG. 4B . Referring to FIG. 4C , an item for a clothing type is added, and a model name 442 of a product may be listed for each use (441, shirt, skirt, hat, etc.) of each clothing. Accordingly, the same-group clothing user list 423' may also be classified according to the model name of each product.

Accordingly, the platform server 300 may group users who purchase the same product or products of the same material, or users who purchase clothes of the same material and color. In addition, it is also possible to check the distribution process (manufacturing date, manufacturing location, intermediate distribution route, logistics process, final sales location, final sales time, etc.) of the clothes purchased by each user.

For example, the platform server 300 may perform additional grouping with respect to the same group of clothing users by further using one or more of the purchase time, the number of wearing, the wearing time, and the manufacturing time of the clothing.

One object of the present invention is to collect reusable clothing material and return it to consumers for free/paid after processing.

To this end, the platform server 300 may group clothing users in the same group based on clothing of the same material and color. In addition, for uniformity of the state of collected and processed clothes, additional grouping may be performed using at least one of purchase time, number of wearing, wearing time, and manufacturing time of each garment. For example, clothing purchased 3 years ago and worn once in winter will not be the same as clothing purchased 1 year ago and worn 10 times in summer. In consideration of such a usage state, the platform server may additionally group the same group clothing.

In addition, as described above, in order to check the number and time of wearing of the clothes, the platform server 300 may receive input from the user or determine whether the corresponding clothes are worn when receiving QR code image information from the user terminal at any time. For example, receiving an input of whether to wear a thread from a user may be performed when a QR code image is acquired while checking whether a function is worn or not, or by directly inputting whether to wear. In addition, the platform server 300 may determine that the user wears the corresponding clothing when the user takes a picture outside of his/her residence based on the location where the QR code image information for the QR code attached to the clothing is transmitted.

In the above manner, the platform server 300 may check the number of times, location, and viewpoint of the user for each target clothing.

Based on the information checked and grouped information as described above, the platform server 300 may provide clothing-related information on a group basis. The clothing-related information may include one or more of a collection schedule, reward information upon collection, and clothing-related campaign information, as well as a management method for washing or storing the corresponding clothing.

For example, the platform server 300 may deliver a campaign to encourage wearing of each garment to the user through the service app 311 or other methods (web service, text message, image provision, etc.) based on the number of times worn. Statistically, once purchased clothing is worn only 7 times on average, the platform server 300 informs the number of times of wearing so that the purchased clothing can be actively used, or shows the social value obtained when the same clothing is worn a predetermined number of times. You can also inform users. For example, information such as the effect of planting a few trees may be provided to the user.

In one embodiment, in order to efficiently provide clothing-related information, the platform server 300 may create a social media space in which only grouped same-group clothing users can join and provide the social media space to the same-group clothing users. . The social media space may be in the form of a service having its own server or using a part of other social media services (business account, cafe, blog, official account), and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The platform server 300 may activate an exchange between clothing users of the same group through the above-described social media space. Users who have purchased clothing from the same group can share images and other contents (hashtags, body texts, comments, URL links, likes, etc.) wearing the clothing in the social media space.

Meanwhile, as an example, the platform server 300 may perform a commerce function capable of selling various products within the present service, without being limited to social networking or information delivery.

5 shows content uploaded by a user of the same group of clothes on a social media space according to an embodiment of the present specification and comments attached to the content.

The first user who has purchased the target clothing 510 may upload an image 500 in which he/she wears the corresponding clothing to the social media space. In the image 500 , other clothes 520: skirts, 530: shawls appear in addition to the target clothes to which the QR code 510c, which is the basis of the QR code image information, is attached. In addition, hashtags input by the first user may also be displayed. Through the content obtained through such a social media space, the platform server 300 may obtain information on other clothing worn together with the target clothing. For example, in FIG. 5 , the type or purchase method of the skirt 520 can be identified through image recognition or the input of the first user. Furthermore, the platform server 300 may generate advertisement information based on information on the shape, type, and color of clothing worn by the same group of clothing users together with the target clothing 510, the user's hair style, accessories, and the like. . For example, if the target clothing is a beige cashmere knitwear and the users of the same group mainly wear black pants of a specific type along with the target clothing, the specific type of black pants are displayed on the social media space to which the users of the same group belong. Recommendation information corresponding to may be provided.

As an example, the platform server 300 may generate such recommendation information by constructing a learning model that takes target clothing as an input and outputs information about clothing, hairstyle, and accessories used together with the target clothing. Meanwhile, the user's preference may be reflected in the learning model by assigning weights to the clothes used together with the target clothes based on the number of comments or likes in the social media space. That is, an item (eg, skirt 520) having a positive response from other users of the same group of clothing may be weighted and actively used as recommendation information.

6 is an exemplary view for confirming the user's target clothing thread wearing state according to an embodiment of the present specification. Referring to FIG. 6 , the target clothes purchased by each user and the manufacturing date, the purchase date, and the number of times of actual wearing are displayed on the map 600 . In FIG. 6 , one target clothing is displayed for one user, but according to settings, the platform server may display a plurality of target clothing for one user or users of the same group of clothing or the same group of clothing on the map based on the setting.

In an embodiment, the platform server 300 may determine whether the user actually wears the clothing as it receives the QR code image information, and may count the number of times the clothing is actually worn. Thereafter, a reward may be provided to the user or grouped same-group clothing users based on the counted number of times of wearing the yarn. Such a reward may include, but is not limited to, a donation or discount coupon in the name of a user or grouped same-group clothing users determined based on the counted number of times of wearing the thread, and whether or not the thread is worn is determined by the number of times the clothes are worn. The QR code may be determined based on the captured location.

7 illustrates checking whether the user actually wears the product according to an embodiment of the present specification. Referring to FIG. 7 , the platform server 300 may confirm the residence h of User 1 based on the entered information or the accumulated movement information. After that, the platform server 300 transmits the QR code image information by shooting the QR code attached to the target clothing 710 by the user. It can be determined whether For example, if it is confirmed that the QR code image information is transmitted from the residence (h), the actual wearing probability is considered low, and if the QR code image information is transmitted from a place that is a certain distance (D1), the user goes out wearing the actual target clothing By judging that it is true, it is possible to check whether the thread is worn or to estimate the probability to be high. Accordingly, referring to FIG. 7 , the number of actual wearing by user 1 may be increased from 3 to 4 by the user taking a QR code of the target clothing at a location spaced apart from the residence by a certain distance.

As described above, the platform server 300 may determine the user's actual wearing information (whether worn, worn, etc.) of the target clothes, and determine a collection (collection) schedule for each garment based on this.
