It is a flowchart for explaining the shopping information providing method used.

1 to 5, the shopping system using the 3D virtual fitting according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a photographing unit 120 and a server 130.

The photographing unit 120 may be a two-dimensional camera or a three-dimensional camera. The photographing unit 120 may be provided in plurality. The photographing unit 120 may be installed in a clothing store. When the user 110 enters the clothing store, the photographing unit 120 may photograph the user 110 and generate image information (ID, image data) (S110). The image information ID may be a video or a picture.

The image information ID generated by the photographing unit 120 may be transmitted to the server 130. For example, the image information ID may be transmitted to the server 130 by various methods such as wireless communication or wired communication.

The server 130 may include a communication unit 132, an information extracting unit 134, a fitting model generator 136, and a display unit 138.

The image information ID generated by the photographing unit 120 may be transferred to the information extracting unit 134 through the communication unit 132 of the server 130.

The information extracting unit 134 extracts body information (BD) of the user 110 from the image information ID, and extracts an object model (OM) of the user 110. It may be (S120).

Specifically, the body information BD may include at least one of a neck circumference, a shoulder width, an arm length, a chest circumference, a waist circumference, or a leg length of the user 110.

The object model OM is resynthesized and reconstructed based on the body information BD of the user 110 and the image of the user 110 in the image information ID, and thus the user 110. And a virtual avatar having substantially the same face and substantially the same body size. For example, the information extracting unit 134 extracts a face image of the user 110 from the image of the user 110 in the image information ID, and matches the user with the body information BD. The object model OM may be generated by extracting a virtual body that is substantially the same as the body size of 110.

The body information BD and the object model OM extracted by the information extractor 134 may be transferred to the fitting model generator 136. The fitting model generation unit 136 may, based on the body information BD of the user 110, fit a garment to the object model OM of the user 110. A virtual fitting model (VFM) may be generated (S130).

In detail, the fitting model generator 136 may select the garment having a size matching the body information BD and fit the object model OM to generate the virtual fitting model VFM. have. To this end, the server 130 may further include a clothing information database including the type of clothing, clothing size, clothing image information, and the like. In other words, when the user 110 selects a first garment (eg, a striped dress), the fitting model generator 136 may perform the first garment (eg, stripes) on the clothing information database. One piece), extracts image information of the first garment having a size most similar to the body information BD extracted from the information extraction unit 134, and extracts the object information of the user 110. The virtual fitting model VFM may be generated by fitting to the model OM.

The virtual petting model VFM may be transferred to the display unit 138 and displayed to the user 110 (S140).

2 and 3, when the user 110 selects a plurality of different clothes, a plurality of different clothes are fitted to the object model OM of the user 110. A plurality of virtual fitting models VFM may be generated, and a plurality of virtual fitting models VFMs may be displayed on the plurality of display units 138, respectively. Accordingly, even if the plurality of clothes of the user 110 are not tried, the clothes suited to the user can be easily selected.

In addition, when there is a request for clothing order of the user 110, even if the clothing store does not store the clothes separately, the clothing store directly delivers the clothes to the user 110, thereby saving logistics and clothing storage costs. Can be.

According to a first modified example, the communication unit 132 may receive the virtual fitting model VFM from the fitting model generation unit 136 and transmit the received virtual fitting model VFM to the terminal 115 of the user 110. In this case, the user 110 may store or re-view the virtual fitting model VFM through the terminal 115. The terminal 115 may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet PC.

According to a second modification, the body information BD of the user 110 may be managed through an ID or a mobile phone number. In detail, the user 110 visits a clothing store in the past and the past body information extracted by the information extracting unit 134 may be stored in the data storage unit of the server 130. Accordingly, when the user 110 visits the clothing store at the present time and there is a difference between the current body information extracted from the information extracting unit 134 and the past body information, the user 110 will be notified of this. Can be. For example, when the waist circumference is increased in the current body information, the user 110 may be notified of the current body information. Accordingly, the user 110 can easily check the change of his or her body information.

According to a third modification, when the past body information and the current body information are extracted according to the second modification described above, the information extracting unit 134 is based on the past body information and the current body information. Future body information can be generated. For example, when it is confirmed that the waist circumference has increased by 3 cm for 2 months in the current body information compared to the past body information, the waist circumference is expected to increase by 3 cm in the state 2 months after the present time, The future body information can be generated later. In this case, the information extractor 134 generates a current object model of the user 110 based on the current body information, and the fitting model generator 136 is a current in which clothing is fitted to the current object model. A virtual fitting model can be created. In addition, the information extraction unit 134 generates a future object model of the user 110 based on the future body information, the fitting model generation unit 136 is a future virtual with clothing fitted to the future object model A fitting model can be created. The current virtual fitting model and the future virtual fitting model may be displayed to the user 110 through the display unit 138. Accordingly, the user 110 may check the current virtual fitting model and the future virtual fitting model, confirm the change in clothes according to the change of his / her physical information, and inspire motivation for exercise and diet. .

According to a fourth modified example, the information extracting unit 134 may modify the body information BD to generate recommended body information, and generate a recommended object model using the recommended body information. For example, the recommended body information may have a smaller waist circumference than the body information BD. The fitting model generation unit 136 generates a recommendation virtual fitting model fitting the garment to the recommendation object model based on the recommended body information, and the virtual fitting to the user 110 through the display unit 138. It can be displayed with the model (VFM). Accordingly, the user 110 can easily check the clothes change according to the body size of the user, and can inspire motivation for exercise and diet.

According to a fifth modified example, according to the fourth modified example described above, when the recommended body information, the recommended object model, and the recommended virtual fitting model are generated, clothes of a size fitting to the recommended virtual fitting model are fixed. Coupons that can be purchased at a discounted price within a period may be sent to the terminal 115 of the user 110 or stored in the data storage of the server. Alternatively, a coupon may be sent to the terminal 115 of the user 110 to exchange clothes of a size fitted to the virtual fitting model (VFM) with clothes of a size fitted to the recommended virtual fitting model, or It may be stored in the data storage of the server. Accordingly, the user 110 can easily check the clothing change according to his / her physical size, inspire motivation for exercise and diet, and stimulate the shopping desire to activate clothing consumption. .
