Description

An apparatus for custom ordering of jewelry and a method therefor

The present invention relates to a technique for customizing jewelry, and more particularly, to a system for custom ordering jewelry and a method therefor.

It is becoming common to obtain information through the Internet, and most information that can satisfy various information desired by users is provided through the Internet. In particular, as the rapid development of communication technology and the spread of smart phones have spread, various applications that provide services and functions usefully through the smart phone as well as the Internet have been provided and generalized. Is being provided.

On the other hand, recently, consumers do not want to blindly select products (eg, jewelry) suggested by brands, but want to construct their own style and lead and lead the fashion. In other words, people want products that transcend the brand to express their lifestyle and reveal their personality, that is, personalized products for themselves. People seek the scarcity of differentiated products rather than popular product brands that are sold around popular products. In response to this, the brand needs to change its concept from "How to sell what it has made" to "How to make a good sell quickly?" It must be changed to a product composition that reflects sensitivity and sense.

Next, a method for custom ordering jewelry according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for custom ordering jewelry according to an embodiment of the present invention. 5 is an example of a screen for explaining a method for custom ordering jewelry according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, first, according to a user's manipulation, the control unit 260 of the user device 200 may access the service server 100 through the communication unit 210 in step S110.

When the user device 200 is accessed, the control module 130 of the service server 100 displays a web page that provides a selection item so that a user can order jewelry through the communication module 110 in step S120. To send.

Then, the control unit 260 of the user device 200 displays the web page through the display unit 240 in step S130. As shown in Figure 5, such a web page, (A) jewelry use selection page, (B) jewelry material selection page, (C) jewelry pendant selection page, (D) jewelry color selection page, (E) jewelry chain, Includes the page for selecting the decoration and (F) the page for selecting jewelry.

(A) Jewelry usage selection page is a page where you can select the usage of jewelry, that is, rings, bracelets, anklets, earrings, necklaces, and the like. (B) The jewelry material selection page is a page where jewelry materials, such as gold, silver, and copper, can be selected. (C) The jewelry pendant selection page is a page where the shape of the pendant can be selected. (D) The jewelry color selection page is a page for selecting the color of jewelry. (E) Jewelry chain and link decoration selection page is a page where you can select chain and link decoration. (F) The jewelry engraving selection page is a page that allows you to select or enter the content or shape of the engraving you want to engrave on jewelry.

Through the user device 200, the user can select the (A) jewelry use selection page, (B) jewelry material selection page, (C) jewelry pendant selection page, (D) jewelry color selection page, (E) jewelry chain, and connection through the user device 200. You can select at least one web page among the decoration selection page and (F) jewelry engraving selection page, and select a desired item from the selected web page.

Then, the control unit 260 of the user device 200 detects the user's selection through the input unit 230 or the display unit 240, generates selection information corresponding to the user's selection, and then communicates with the communication unit 210 in step S140. ) To transmit the selection information to the service server 100. This selection information includes the user's choice of at least one of the use of the jewelry, the material, the shape of the pendant, color, imprinting, chain, and linking.

When receiving the selection information through the communication module 110, the control module 130 of the service server 100 performs a simulation according to the user's selection of the selection information received in step S150. At this time, the control module 130 combines the images of the jewelry stored in the storage module 120 according to the user's selection, and generates a jewelry image matching the user's selection. Then, the control module 130 of the service server 100 transmits the previously generated jewelry image to the user device 200 through the communication module 110 in step S160.

The control unit 260 of the user device 200 receives the jewelry image generated by the service server 100 through the communication unit 210 and displays the jewelry image through the display unit 240 in step S170. Accordingly, the user can check the simulated jewelry image so that he or she meets the selection.

The user can decide whether or not to order according to the selection through the jewelry image. Accordingly, when the user selects to order through the user device 200, the control unit 260 of the user device 200 may transmit an order message to the service server 100 through the communication unit 210 in step S180.

On the other hand, when the simulation result shows that the simulated jewelry image is different from the one expected, the user may repeat the steps S130 to S170 described above to change the selection and perform the simulation again.
