DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of a coordination system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the coordination system 100 is connected to the Internet 20 to display an image, for example, a PC 10, a TV 12, a mobile phone 14, and connected to the Internet. Coordination server 30, and weather information providing server 40 is included.

The coordination server 30 includes a user information DB 31, a virtual model DB 33, a clothes DB 35, a personal taste information DB 37, and a weather information DB 39.

The user information DB 31 includes information such as a user ID, a password, a connection area, a key, a weight, a body type, a picture, and the like.

The virtual model DB 33 includes three-dimensional virtual model (eg, avatar) information generated based on information such as a user's height, weight, body shape, and photo input to the user information DB 31.

The clothes DB 35 includes information about clothes that the user possesses. In the present embodiment, the costume includes all of tops, tops, dresses, hats, shoes, accessories, bags, hairstyles, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

The personal preference DB 37 stores information on a user's favorite clothes color, concept, preferred style according to weather or season, and the like.

The weather information DB 39 stores time and weather information transmitted from the weather information providing server 40 through the Internet 20.

The weather information providing server 40 transmits weather information and time information of a user's access area to the coordinating server 100 through the Internet 20.
