Description

Applications with clothing management and coordination functions.

The present invention relates to an application for easily solving convenience, practicality, and clothing coordination by replacing an existing clothing management method that has been based on a person's memory with his or her own clothing information.

Modern society has changed into IT society which can easily purchase and use high-performance electronic devices at low prices for integration of electronic devices and improvement of production technology. As a representative example of the development of such electronic devices, development of applications using such devices is leading to convenience of living.

The application proposed in the present invention proposes a method and a coordination function for making clothing management more convenient.

Modern society is designing and manufacturing various clothes as fast fashion that trends change rapidly. As a result, clothing items to be purchased by people have become diverse, and the number of clothing items owned by individuals has increased.

In this process, the apparel users manage and keep the clothes stored in the indoors in various categories (top, bottom, season, ....), but they can remember the clothes of the individual, The existing clothing management method is not compatible with modern clothing purchasing and coordination methods.

The existing method of coordination is a method of judging by wearing the clothes that are possessed directly on the body. This is a very inefficient way in the light of patterns that have many different kinds of clothing for modern people.

The present invention relates to a smartphone application that recognizes existing garment management problems and disadvantages of the coordination method and solves the problems.

For modern people, clothing is changing from being a means to protect oneself in the past to a means of expressing oneself to the other. As a result, the types and the number of clothes owned by individuals have a larger amount than those of people in the past. Due to these problems and the limitations of human memory, it is difficult to realize that it is difficult to memorize and manage all of their own clothing.

The disadvantage of not being able to figure out what clothes they have is that they have the problem of making it difficult to coordinate with unreasonable consumption patterns that allow them to purchase clothes of a pattern similar to their clothes and clothes that they own come.

The present invention can more conveniently confirm the clothes owned by an individual by storing the individual clothes of the individual in the electronic device as data, and this effect can reduce the unreasonable consumption, It is possible to display all kinds of coordinating clothes that can be displayed on the display window of the electronic device, thereby helping to create an efficient style.

The present invention can be implemented by installing a clothing management application presented by the present invention in an electronic device of an individual and inputting information related to the clothing to be stored in the device by using the photo shooting function of the electronic device, A clothing management application configured to be displayed on an electronic device screen using a category and information search view mode for easily viewing the information of the clothes owned by the user and a coordination view mode for coordinating the clothes of the user with the avatar to provide.

The present invention expects the following effects.

First, the device stores all the clothes owned by the individual, so that the user can check his or her own clothes without restriction of time and space. This not only can reduce unreasonable consumption, but also has the effect of maximizing the use of your own clothing.

Second, the existing coordination method, which requires wearing a large amount of clothes, is limited in that it can not wear various clothes over time. With the coordination method proposed in this application, not only can it shorten the time required for coordinating the clothes held by the user, but also there is an advantage that a more varied coordination can be performed. This is because, even if you do not own it, you can only coordinate clothes indirectly with your own clothes on your device if you have photo material.

Third, it solves the problem of coordination by recommending the coordination using the automatic styling function of the application based on the clothing data inputted by the user and the information acquired by the electronic device.

2 is a flowchart showing an item shooting mode applied to the present invention;
3 is a flowchart showing a category and an information search view applied to the present invention;
4 is a flowchart showing a coordination view applied to the present invention;

A representative view of the present invention for achieving the above object is shown in Fig. The method comprises the steps of: (1) photographing clothing or other items using the item shooting mode (2), and storing the data in the device by category classification and information input (3) . The data processed in the category classification and information input and storage (3) is used as data for clothing management and coordination in the item view mode (4). The user can check the category and information search view 6 to find the clothes he wants to see. If the apparel he / she possesses is data-converted by the above application, the confirmation through the device screen is all possible. This means that space and time constraints are solved to identify their own garments. In addition, the coordination view function (5) has the advantage of being able to coordinate more easily by using the stored data in the process of (3).

Figure 2 shows the method of (2) and (3) according to the method of the present invention for achieving the above object. (Eg, top, bottom, skirt, hat, accessory, shoe, etc.). For example, in the upper category If you select Short Sleeve from the subcategory after choosing the top, the most common shape of the short sleeves (9) will appear on the screen during camera shooting. Use this to position the clothes you want to shoot to the inside of the frame, and then shoot. After shooting, input the information (10) before saving the data. This is the name of the garment taken (ex: checkered heating, shirt, tie, stamina ....), season (ex: spring, summer, fall, winter), color (ex: red, black, ...), type (bottom, top, coat, skirt, hat, accessory, shoes ....) and purchase date (0000/00/00). This is utilized as information for clothing classification and information search in the item view mode (4).

The method of setting the border of the clothes photographing and photographing, the category setting, and the information inputting method for the photograph described above can be sufficiently changed according to application development.

In order to accomplish the above object, the method of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. The data stored by the processes of (2) and (3) have photographs and clothing information. In the process of (6), the photographs having such category and information are classified into the photographs to be searched by the user. For example, (12) and (13) have different information such as short sleeves and long sleeves, gray and pink, respectively, but when the user inputs the information "top" as a search term, the same classification is selected. In this way, the user can visually confirm a picture of all kinds of "top" clothing he owns through the screen of the application. Through this method, the user can memorize the storage information of the clothes he / she is looking for, and more easily grasp his or her clothes.

Figure 4 is a diagram of a coordination view (5) according to the method of the present invention for achieving the above object. The change of the frame according to the category selection at the time of photographing suggests a method for attaching each clothes to the actual coordination. Only the image inside the frame set at the time of photographing is reflected on the screen at the time of the coordination (16). However, the border of the picture that is applied to the coordination can not be set only at the time of shooting, and then the border can be changed and restored in the border change setting screen of the picture after that. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing how the coordination is applied according to the type of the image and the type of the bottom. When applying the coordination 16, the bottom 15 and the top 14 are fixed and the top 14 and the bottom 15 are changed so that the avatar of the screen is clothed without actually wearing it Spring makes it easier to do your own coordination.

The clothing items to be applied to the coordination are not limited to the top and bottom, but can be extended to all kinds of clothing such as avatars, hair styles, shoes, accessories, and coats.

In addition, based on the stored data, the automatic styling function which recommends coordination in the application, and furthermore, the weather information obtained by using the data communication function of the electronic device is combined with, thereby suggesting the coordination according to the season and weather, Method.
