The smartphone 100 can photograph a barcode printed on the merchandise tag 10 by using a photographing function and store it in a mobile terminal carried by the purchaser, and can also display the barcode taken on the touch screen .

2 is a detailed block diagram of the smartphone 100 shown in FIG. 2, the smartphone 100 includes a camera 110, a touch screen 120, a processor 130, a storage unit 140, and a communication unit 150. [

The camera 110 photographs a barcode, and the barcode photographed by the camera 110 is stored in the storage unit 140. The touch screen 120 displays a barcode stored in the storage unit 140, and receives a user command through a touch. The communication unit 150 supports communication with the virtual fitting device 200 and the goods sale server 500. [

The processor 130 controls the overall operation of the smartphone 100. In particular, the processor 130 stores the barcode photographed by the camera 110 in the storage unit 140, and displays the barcode stored in the storage unit 140 on the touch screen 120.

The processor 130 executes the shopping application stored in the storage unit 140 and accesses the product sales server 500 through the communication unit 150 to perform the procedures necessary for purchasing the product.

The virtual fitting device 200 is a device that allows the purchaser to virtually wear the goods.

3 is a detailed block diagram of the virtual fitting apparatus 200 shown in FIG. 3, the virtual fitting apparatus 200 includes a 3D camera 210, a display 220, a processor 230, a barcode scanner 240, and a communication unit 250.

The 3D camera 210 photographs the purchaser, and the processor 230 analyzes the photographing result of the 3D camera 210 to grasp the body structure / size of the purchaser.

The barcode scanner 240 recognizes the barcode displayed on the touch screen 120 of the smartphone 100. The processor 230 obtains detailed information about the goods from the goods DB 300 (detailed information matched to the barcode) through the communication unit 250 with the recognized barcode, Matching product image).
