The terminal 110 determines whether the second part is the last part as a customizable part in the product after the step S305 (S306).

As a result of the determination of the step S306, if the corresponding part is found to be the last part, that is, when input / reception of each specific customized image data for all of the customizable parts is completed, the terminal 110 may display the product from the server. The final image can be received and displayed to the user. At this time, the final image of the product means that specific customized image data selected by the user is reflected for all of the customizable parts of the product (S307).

For convenience, only the first and second parts have been described herein, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the process is performed for all customizable parts (n pieces, where n is a positive integer) in the product. For example, if all of the customizable parts in the product are a total of five, the process can be performed up to the fifth part.

Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, unique URL information may be allocated and shared for each customizing step and candidate image data in each step to perform customization of all customizable parts in the product.

That is, each customizing step and the candidate image data (s) at each step can be assigned unique URL information, so that the specific customizing step and / or the candidate image data (s) at a particular step can be directly via the web or app. It is possible to connect, and similarly, URL information accessible to a specific customizing step and / or candidate image data (s) at a specific step may be shared with other third parties through a web or an app.

Meanwhile, the step S306 may be performed each time a selection signal for each part is input / received, or may be omitted at all. For example, when the information on the customizable parts for the product is stored in advance, the step S306 may be omitted.

According to an embodiment, the input / reception of the product selection is various inputs that can be expressed by a user, such as shooting or capturing through an image photographing device of the terminal, voice input and touch, swipe motion, click, voice input, and iris recognition. It can be made by at least one of the methods.

According to an embodiment, the UI / UX may provide candidate image data for customizable parts of the product, and the UI / UX may be provided in the form of an N x M matrix, as shown in FIG. 5 (a). have. Here, N and M may be positive integers, respectively. In FIG. 5 (a), it is represented by a 5 x 5 matrix for convenience. This means that a total of 5 customizable parts are provided, and each of the 5 parts provides a total of 5 candidate image data.

However, in the present invention, the UI / UX may be provided in an irregular form, not an N x M matrix form, as shown in FIG. 5 (b). That is, it is possible that each of the customizable parts contains a different number of candidate image data. In the case of FIG. 5 (b), the customizable parts correspond to a total of five, but each of the first part, the second part, the third part, the fourth part, and the fifth part is 3, 5, 4, 6 , Means that two different numbers of candidate image data are provided.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, each of the customizable parts described above refers to various components constituting the product, and particularly all or part of them may be customizable parts. The customizable parts may include at least one candidate image data indicated by different designs, materials, colors, and parts for each part.

According to an embodiment, it is assumed that each of the customizable parts is a total of six as design, stone 1, stone 2, stone 3, material 1, material 2, and the product according to the present invention through FIG. 6 according to the above assumption The detailed description of the custom service UI / UX control method is as follows.

In addition, for convenience of description, the design part of the customizable part will be described below on the assumption that the user has already selected it.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, since the user is assumed to have selected the design which is the first part of the customizable parts, the user can check one or more candidate image data for customizing the second part as shown in FIG. 6. have. At this time, in relation to one or more candidate image data for customizing the second part, the design selected by the user in the previous step may be reflected in the first part of the customizable parts in each of the candidate image data.

Meanwhile, the number of customizable parts and the number of candidate image data therefor may be preset according to the type of the product, and in FIG. 6, for convenience of description, candidate image data for customizing the second part is a total of 6 Let's assume we have a dog.

In the present invention, the UI / UX can view the candidate image data or perform selection or withdrawal of selection to specific customized image data. More specifically, on the UI / UX where the candidate image data is displayed, the user inputs a swipe motion in any one of a preset up, down, left, and right. If so, the candidate image data can be browsed or selected or withdrawn to specific customized image data can be performed.

In this case, the UI / UX is the one whenever the user inputs the swipe motion in the left and right directions if the viewing of the candidate image data is set to the swipe motion input in the left and right directions. Each of the above candidate image data may be provided in order or in reverse order.

In addition, when the UI / UX is to select or withdraw the specific custom image data while viewing the candidate image data, the UI / UX is set to swipe motion input in the upward and downward directions, respectively. In response to a user's swipe motion input in the upward or downward direction during the viewing of the candidate image data, selection or withdrawal of the specific custom image data may be performed.

In addition, the UI / UX selects the corresponding image data before the user inputs the corresponding swipe motion in the process of viewing the candidate image data or selecting or withdrawing a specific custom image data. It may be set to perform the preceding input (for example, click, double click, voice input, iris input, etc.) first.

Accordingly, the user can perform a swipe motion input in the up direction to select a design that is the first part of the customizable parts, in which case the screen of the terminal 110 is shown in FIG. 6 (a) ).

At this time, each time the user inputs a swipe motion in the left and right directions, each of the one or more candidate image data may be changed and provided in order or in reverse order. That is, when the screen of the terminal 110 is displayed as shown in FIG. 6 (a) and a swipe motion is input in the left direction, the screen of the terminal 110 may be displayed as shown in FIG. 6 (b), where again When a swipe motion is input in the left direction, the screen of the terminal 110 may be displayed as shown in FIG. 6 (c). If the user repeatedly inputs a swipe motion in the left direction and the screen of the terminal 110 is in the state shown in FIG. 6 (f), the user inputs the swipe motion in the left direction once again. The screen of (110) may again display FIG. 6 (a). Alternatively, display / notification indicating that the screen of FIG. 6 (f) is the last candidate image data while maintaining the screen of FIG. 6 (f) It can be expressed to the user according to various methods.

If the user inputs a swipe motion in the right direction while the screen of FIG. 6 (c) is displayed, the screen of the terminal 110 may be displayed as shown in FIG. 6 (b).

On the other hand, when the user wants to select the candidate image data displayed on the screen of FIG. 6 (e) in relation to the one or more candidate image data for customizing the second part, the user is a candidate displayed on the screen of FIG. 6 (e) In the state of browsing image data, a swipe motion in the upward direction can be input.

In this case, selection is made as candidate image data displayed on the screen of FIG. 6 (e), and at this time, the user can check one or more candidate image data for customizing the third part as shown in FIG. 7.

At this time, in relation to one or more candidate image data for customizing the third part, the first part and the second part of the customizable parts in each of the candidate image data include a design and a diagram selected by the user in the previous step and FIG. 6. Candidate image data displayed on the screen of (e) is reflected and displayed.

The user may view each of the one or more candidate image data in order or in reverse order by inputting a swipe motion in the left and right directions in relation to one or more candidate image data for customizing the third part. Is as described above.

Furthermore, when selecting specific candidate image data among the one or more candidate image data, the selection may be performed by inputting a swipe motion in an upward direction.

However, if the user browses one or more candidate image data for customizing the third part, the first part and / or the second part previously selected for customization may be revoked, To this end, the user can perform the selective revocation by inputting a swipe motion in the downward direction. That is, when the user is viewing candidate image data for the third part and inputs one swipe motion in the downward direction, it is possible to withdraw the selection for the previously selected second part, in this case again in the left and right directions. One or more candidate image data for customizing the second part may be re-read through the swipe motion input to.

If the user inputs two swipe motions in the downward direction while the user is viewing the candidate image data for the third part, it is possible to withdraw the selection for the first and second selected parts. In this case, one or more candidate image data for customizing the first part may be read again through swipe motion input in the left and right directions.

Accordingly, the user can perform candidate image data viewing, selection, and selection revocation for each customizable parts shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 through swipe motion based on UI / UX provided by the present invention.
