1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a customer-customized online shopping service according to the present invention.

First, a fixing step (S00) of fixing the customer's posture by applying the crown fixing table 119 installed on the ceiling of the measurement booth 100 to the top of the customer's head is performed.

Here, the measuring booth 100 includes an arcuate frame 110 having a plurality of frame holes 111 formed on the surface, four legs, and caster wheels 115 formed at an end thereof. In addition to this, a horizontal frame 112 connecting the four legs horizontally may be added. It can be easily moved by the caster wheels 115.

2 and 3 are a side view and a perspective view respectively illustrating a measurement booth 100 used to perform the customer-customized online shopping service providing method of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, since the frame holes 111 are formed in a plurality, the lidar device 150 and the video camera 130 can be easily installed at any position of the arched frame 110.

On the other hand, a parabolic shape fixing bar 119 is provided at the end of a fixing bar 117 that can be extended downward in multiple stages from the ceiling, which is the center of the arched frame 110, and comes into contact with the top of the customer's top. This is to fix the customer's position in order to accurately measure the customer's body without error with LIDAR. To fix the body, you need to fix the head.

In addition, customers can stand on the floor where the stage 120 is the center of the arched frame 110, and a floor area infrared sensor and a weight sensor can be provided. There is a weight sensor inside the stage 120 to measure the customer's weight, and the floor area infrared ray sensor can measure the size of the sole by detecting the temperature of the sole and extracting an outline. It is obvious that not only the length between the tip of the toe and the heel, but also the width of the foot can be measured.

In addition, a video camera 130 may be installed on one side of the arcuate frame 110 to measure the distance between the pupils of the customer at the height of the parietal fixing table 119. Since the distance between the pupils is different for each person, the size of the spectacle lens or spectacle frame must also be changed, so the video camera 130 can accurately recognize this and help in selecting a spectacle product in the future.

In addition, the palm measurement screen 140 may be installed on one side of the arcuate frame 110 with an infrared sensor for measuring the contour of the customer's palm. When the customer puts their palm on the palm measurement screen 140, the infrared sensor detects it and can accurately measure the size of the palm.

In addition, a lidar device 150 is installed on one side of the arcuate frame 110 with a lidar for measuring the contour of the customer's body.

LIDAR is a technology that measures the positional coordinates of a reflector by shooting a laser pulse and measuring the time it takes for it to reflect and return. Therefore, by irradiating the laser to the customer's body and measuring the return time, the customer's body part can be accurately measured.

4 and 5 respectively show a connecting rod cup 153, a mesh ball 160, and a cover among lidar devices 150 used in the measurement booth 100 used to perform the customer-customized online shopping service providing method of the present invention. It is an exploded perspective view and a combined side view in which the cup 170 is disassembled.

In addition, FIG. 6 shows that the lidar device 150 used in the measurement booth 100 used to perform the customer-customized online shopping service providing method of the present invention is easily installed on the arched frame 110 by the fixing bolt 180. It is a side view showing one embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, more specifically, the lidar device 150 includes a lidar body 151 for transmitting and receiving laser light. The lidar body 151 is a typical disk-shaped lidar used for distance measurement or map creation.

On the other hand, a hemispherical cup 154 is formed to accommodate the mesh ball 160, which is screwed to the center of the lidar body 151, has an empty top and a mesh surface, and is formed of a cup 154. On the inner circumferential surface, a connecting rod cup 153 having a screw thread protrusion 155 partially protruding upward is shown. Here, the cover cup 170 is screwed into the screw thread protrusion 155 . In addition, the cover cup 170 accommodates the mesh ball 160 and has a plurality of cover holes 171 formed on its surface.

Here, the mesh ball 160 is preferably a flexible and durable metal component. That is, a material that is flexible enough to allow the fixing bolt 180 to penetrate the mesh but is strong enough to firmly fix the fixing bolt 180 is preferable.

In addition, the lidar body 151 is assembled to the mesh ball 160, the cover cup 170, and the connecting rod cup 153, and then the fixing bolt 180 passes through the frame hole 111 and the cover hole 171 It is good to be firmly fixed to the arcuate frame 110 by screwing to the mesh of the mesh ball 160.

Since the combination of the above configuration is possible at any position of the arched frame, it is possible to accurately measure the size of any part of the customer's body.

That is, since the cover holes 171 are formed in a sufficiently large number in the cover cup 170, the fixing bolts 180 can be easily installed on the arched frame by penetrating them at various angles.

Next, a first measurement step (S10) of measuring the distance between the pupils of the fixed customer using the video camera 130 installed on the side of the measurement booth 100 is performed.

That is, since the distance between the pupils is different for each person, the size of the spectacle lens or spectacle frame must also be changed, so the video camera 130 can accurately recognize this and help select suitable spectacles in the future.

Next, a second measurement step (S20) of measuring the contour of the customer's palm with the side infrared sensor installed on the side of the measurement booth 100 is performed.

As a result, it accurately measures the palm of the customer, helping the customer to purchase the right glove for the hand in the future.

Next, a third measurement step (S30) of measuring the contour and weight of the customer's sole is performed using the floor infrared sensor and the weight sensor installed on the floor of the measuring booth 100.

As a result, it accurately measures not only the length of the customer's foot but also the width, helping them to purchase the right shoes in the future.

Next, a fourth measurement step (S40) of measuring the body contour of the customer wearing goggles (not shown) with a blackout shield is performed using a lidar installed on the side of the measurement booth 100.

Because Lidar uses a laser, direct eyeball irradiation can be dangerous. Therefore, it is recommended that the customer measure the body contour by wearing goggles (not shown) with a blackout. Because the accuracy of LIDAR is very high, it can accurately measure the size of body parts in three dimensions. Preferably, taking off all clothes when measuring lidar is good because it can ensure accuracy.

Next, the server 200 stores the customer information including the distance between the pupils, palm contours, sole contours, weight and body contours in the external distributed storage medium 400, and uses the customer information as an avatar. Proceed to the generation step (S50) of generating.

External distributed storage media 400 can minimize damage due to hacking than centralized storage media. Furthermore, it is preferable to create an avatar most similar to the customer himself using customer information containing various size information.

Next, the server 200 proceeds with an application step (S60) of applying the avatar to the metaverse 300. The metaverse 300 is a virtual reality, and you can not only purchase products within the metaverse 300, but also experience various communities.

Next, a storage step (S70) of the server 200 regularly storing the customer information as a non-fungible token (NFT) on the blockchain; proceeds.

Since the actual measured customer information of the present invention should not be duplicated, it is better to clarify the original owner by storing it as a non-fungible token in the block chain. Furthermore, since customer information changes over time, it is good to update and save it regularly.

Specifically, NFT media data, which is customer information, is preferably stored in an external storage medium, but it does not need to be stored directly in a block chain, and a safe distributed storage medium 400 is preferable rather than a centralized storage medium with a risk of hacking.

On the other hand, NFT metadata may consist of the title of customer information, a brief description thereof, information about the creator, and the internet address of the place where the avatar reflecting actual customer information is stored. This NFT metadata is also generally recommended to be stored in an external distributed storage medium (400).

In addition, the NFT smart contract is a computer program that has functions such as ownership verification, transfer of ownership, royalty payment, and the internet address of the place where the NFT metadata is stored, and it is desirable to store it directly on the blockchain.

To summarize the functions of the present invention, the size of the glasses is determined using the distance between the pupils, the size of the gloves is determined using the contour of the palm, the size of the shoe is determined using the contour of the sole, , The size of clothes is determined using the body contour.

7 is an overall system configuration diagram for performing the customer-customized online shopping service providing method of the present invention.

Measurement booth 100 has a separate data transmission device (not shown) can transmit various customer information to the server 200.

The server 200 may communicate with the measurement booth 100 by wire or wireless, and may record customer information and transmit an avatar to the metaverse 300. Furthermore, the server 200 may include an external distributed storage medium. The external distributed storage medium 400 can contain avatars or block chains.
