Description

Logo production and logo attached product production platform service providing method and apparatus

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a logo production and product production platform service providing server with a logo attached thereto, and an operation method thereof.

One of the most important matters when establishing a company or developing and selling products or services is to decide on a brand or logo. Such a brand logo can be selected from among existing words or a new word can be created, and a brand logo can be created with only the symbol or combined with various types of symbols.

In the existing “logo” production method, various items that the user wants must be reflected first, and since the user requests the production of “logo” to reflect the user’s requirements to a professional design company or designer, a lot of effort and cost is required for the production of “logo”.

If a business has created a logo, it must place an order with several companies to produce several products with the logo printed on it. It can be very wasteful and inefficient to proceed with contracts with various companies from logo creation to ordering products that reflect the logo.

Since the creation of a logo and the production of related products are a series of processes that inevitably follow, a platform that provides a service that can integrate all of them is needed.

For example, a user may select a first figure and a second figure, and obtain candidate logos according to an arbitrary combination of the first figure and the second figure from the server. The candidate logos may be a set of figures in which an arbitrary number of first figures and an arbitrary number of second figures are rotated by an arbitrary angle so that they overlap or do not overlap. A plurality of different combinations of candidate logos for the first figure and the second figure may be provided to the user terminal.

The server may obtain a selection logo input for at least one of the candidate logos from the user terminal. For example, the user may select at least one of the candidate logos provided from the server.

The server may create the logo based on the selected logo input. That is, the server may create at least one logo based on the selected logo input, the font, and the text.

The server may obtain an industry selection input (S320). For example, the server may obtain an industry selection input related to the user's business from the user terminal.

For example, a user may provide a selection input related to an industry such as a cafe, a hamburger restaurant, a fast food restaurant, a hospital, a mobile phone store, or a meat restaurant to a server through a user terminal. That is, when the server provides the user terminal with industry options, the user may provide the server with an input for selecting an industry related to his or her business from among the industry options provided by the server.

The server may acquire a store image and extract a product (S330). For example, the server may obtain an image of a store related to the industry from the user terminal, and extract products used in the industry from the image.

For example, a user may directly provide a video of his/her own store, or even if the user does not have a store or does not film his or her own store, the user may provide the server with a video of a business location with an atmosphere that he/she thinks of. have. That is, when a user operates or intends to operate a cafe, the user may provide images captured inside/outside of the cafe to the server.

For example, the server may recognize products appearing in an image of a store related to the industry. For example, the server may recognize products such as cups, napkins, trays, and signboards from cafe-related images, and may extract them.

The server may provide a product list (S340). For example, the server may provide the user terminal with a list of products required for the industry.

For example, the product list required for the industry may include products used in the industry extracted from the image. For example, when the user's type of business is coffee, the server may provide the user terminal with a list of products used in a cafe and a product list including products extracted from the image.

The server may obtain a selection product input (S350). For example, the server may obtain an input for a selected product from among products included in the product list, from the user terminal.

That is, the user may select products to be produced with a logo attached from the list of products provided by the server, and the server may obtain information on products to be produced with a logo attached to the user from the user terminal.

The server may obtain design, size, and color information of the selected product (S360). For example, the server may obtain design, size, and color information of the selected product from the user terminal.

That is, the server may provide options for various designs, sizes, and colors for each selected product, and the user may provide the server with an input for selecting one of the various designs, sizes, and colors provided by the server.

4 is a diagram illustrating a service method for creating a logo and producing a product with a logo according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the server may provide various design options for cups, napkins, trays, and signboards to the user terminal. The user may select one of several designs, and the server may obtain a selection input for one of the several designs from the user terminal.

In addition to design, options for size and color of products may be provided, and the server may obtain selection inputs for size and color of products from the user terminal.

Referring back to FIG. 3 , the server may generate a selected product image (S370). For example, the server may generate the selected product image based on the design, size, color information, and the logo.

That is, the server may specify a product based on the design, size, and color of the product obtained from the user terminal, and may generate a selected product image having a logo attached to the product.

The server may generate and provide a sample simulation image (S380). For example, the server may generate a sample simulation image in which a product used in the industry is replaced with the image of the selected product to which the logo is attached in the image of the store. For example, the sample simulation image may be generated for each of the at least one logo. The server may provide the sample simulation image to the user terminal.

That is, a sample simulation image may be produced for each logo. That is, if there are 5 logos produced, 5 sample simulation images may be generated. Users can enjoy sample simulation videos corresponding to each logo, and can check the atmosphere and feeling when each logo is actually applied to the store through the sample simulation videos.

Selected products included in the sample simulation image may be replaced with the same selected product image, and logos included in the selected product image may be different for each sample simulation image.

Through the video of the store where the actual logo is applied, the user can make a decision on which logo to choose.

The server may obtain a final logo selection input from the user terminal. The user can view sample simulation images of several logos and finally select a logo as to which logo to finally select. The server may obtain a final logo selection input finally selected by the user from the user terminal.

5 and 6 are diagrams illustrating a method of providing a sample simulation image according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 , FIG. 5 may be an original store image, and FIG. 6 may be a sample simulation image. For example, when the signboard, glass window, and cup of FIG. 5 are selected products, the corresponding cup may be replaced with the selected product image in the sample simulation image. Therefore, existing signboards, glass windows, and cups may be replaced with signboards, glass windows, and cups in which a logo is attached to a signboard having a design, size, and color of a selected product image.

Referring back to FIG. 3 , the server may provide selected product production order information (S390). For example, the server may provide the selected product production order information to the producer terminal based on the selected product image. That is, the server may place an order for a product corresponding to the selected product image.

Some of the detailed steps shown in the example of FIG. 3 may not be essential steps and may be omitted. In addition to the steps shown in FIG. 3, other steps may be added, and the order of the steps may be changed. Some of the above steps may have their own technical meaning.
