Description

The present utility model relates to the field of data processing, and more particularly to electronic devices for selecting goods, including a server configured to connect via a connected network to client devices of users, comprising an interconnected input module for several images of goods connected to it a module for constructing a three-dimensional model of goods, a module for inputting several images of a three-dimensional body, with which selected goods are compared, a module for constructing t three-dimensional model of a three-dimensional body, a database of goods with three-dimensional models of the indicated goods, a database of three-dimensional bodies with three-dimensional models of the indicated three-dimensional bodies, a module for comparing a three-dimensional model of a three-dimensional body and a three-dimensional model of goods in one scale, and a module for sending comparison results connected to it to client devices of users.

In the present description, the following terms are accepted:

Server (eng. Server) - an electronic device that performs service functions at the request of the client, giving him access to certain resources. For the purposes of this description, a server is considered having a permanent connection to a federated network that can transmit data to the server from client devices. The server can process this data and transfer the processing result back to the client device.

The combined network, as well as all connections between all modules and blocks, include various topologies, configurations, and layouts of the components of the interconnect, configured to interconnect corporate, global, and local area networks, and includes, without limitation, traditional wired, Wireless, satellite, optical and equivalent network technologies.

An input module for images or other data is a server module that can represent a receiver of incoming signals, and a converter for subsequent processing.

A computing module is a server module, which is a microprocessor specially adapted for signal processing.

A database or a database storage module is a server module that stores data corresponding to this data module, which can be executed as a hard disk drive or as flash memory, which refers to semiconductors of electrically reprogrammable memory .

However, some modules can be combined in separate implementations. For example, different databases can be stored in one memory module.

Volumetric body - any object and subject, as well as their part, which have spatial boundaries. They compare with him and select the desired goods for him. Selection can be made by shape, size and other geometric parameters, as well as color. This can be a living room, a room, part of a room, some object, for example, the user's clothing. On the other hand, the user himself can be considered a voluminous body, part of it is the arm, leg, and so on.

A three-dimensional model matching approach is a situation where the constructed three-dimensional model of a three-dimensional body corresponds to a three-dimensional volume of goods. At the same time, there is no way out of one three-dimensional model beyond the boundaries of another three-dimensional model, that is, a situation that arises when the maximum combination of two different three-dimensional models, when one three-dimensional model cannot completely be inside the spatial volume of another three-dimensional model and has points outside it. For example, fitting a shoe when a three-dimensional model of a customer’s foot does not fit in a three-dimensional model of trying on shoes.

Approach by purpose of goods to a volumetric body - a situation when the offered goods are used for or together with a volumetric body. For example, when introducing a user's foot as a product suitable for the intended purpose, shoes may be offered. When introducing a fragment of a room with a space of a certain size, furniture, for example, a sofa or an armchair, can be offered as a product suitable for the intended purpose. When introducing a hole in the wall, fasteners, such as dowels and screws, can be offered as goods suitable for the intended purpose.

The level of technology.

Currently, online trading is becoming increasingly popular due to its simplicity (no need to leave home) and low cost (it becomes possible to sell goods with a small margin). Its further growth is restrained only by the need for the physical presence of the buyer in order to try on goods. But with the advent of the ability to build three-dimensional models of goods and three-dimensional models of the buyer or his property, in which it is necessary to compare goods, it became possible to make remote selection of this part of the goods, for example, clothes or shoes.

It is known from the prior art that an electronic device for selecting goods, including a server, configured to connect using an integrated network with client devices of users, comprising an interconnected input module for several images of goods, an connected module for building a three-dimensional model of goods, an input module for several volumetric body images with which the selected products are compared, a module for constructing a three-dimensional volumetric body model connected to it, a database of goods with three dimensional models of these goods, a database of three-dimensional bodies with three-dimensional models of these three-dimensional bodies, a module for comparing a three-dimensional model of a three-dimensional body and a three-dimensional model of goods in one scale and a module for sending comparison results to user devices connected to databases (see description patent for utility model of the Russian Federation No. 144909 published on December 20, 2014)

This device is the closest in technical essence to the claimed utility model and is taken as a prototype for the proposed utility model.

The disadvantage of this device is that it has a low ease of use due to the fact that the buyer has to enter a description of the volumetric body, the image of which he transfers to an electronic device, which is inconvenient. In addition, the buyer also has to enter a lot of parameters, which will be used for further search. He may not know some parameters how to set correctly.

Disclosure of a utility model.

Based on this original observation, the present utility model mainly aims to offer an electronic device for the selection of goods, which allows at least smoothing out at least one of the above disadvantages, namely, to ensure automatic selection of goods according to the three-dimensional model, and according to the purpose of these goods for use with this volumetric body, which is the technical task.

To achieve this goal, the electronic device comprises a module for identifying a three-dimensional body using a three-dimensional model of a three-dimensional body connected to a module for constructing a three-dimensional model of a three-dimensional body and a database of three-dimensional models of these three-dimensional bodies, the electronic device also containing connected to a module for identifying a three-dimensional body according to a three-dimensional model body and with a module for sending comparison results to client devices of users, a module for selecting from a database of goods with three-dimensional E models of goods of those goods which are suitable reference for an electronic device as a bulk body by matching the three-dimensional model and for its intended purpose of goods for use with this voluminous body.

Thanks to such advantageous characteristics, the opportunity arises:

- using the volumetric body identification module according to the three-dimensional model of the volumetric body, automatically identify it from the entered images of the volumetric body;

- to automatically select from the database of goods with three-dimensional models of the indicated goods those goods that are suitable for the volumetric body that is entered into the electronic device both according to the three-dimensional model and the purpose of these goods for use with this volumetric body using the appropriate module.

There is also a variant of the utility model, in which a module for selecting from a database of goods with three-dimensional models of the indicated goods of those goods

which are suitable for the volumetric body driven into the electronic device, it has a signal generation unit for user client devices corresponding to asking additional questions to the user to narrow down the number of goods found.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to consistently narrow down the selection of suitable products, down to one, and this can be done with a minimum number of additional requests, which speeds up the process of choosing a product. The user in a situation where the selection of suitable products is too large, it is very convenient to narrow it down, since everything happens automatically, for example, by sequentially narrowing the group of products.

The set of essential features of the proposed utility model is unknown from the prior art for devices of similar purpose, which allows us to conclude that the criterion of "novelty" for the utility model is met.

Implementation of a utility model.

An electronic device for the selection of goods corresponding to user-defined parameters, operates as follows. (An example of a non-limiting application of the utility model is provided). According to figure 2:

Stage A1. Preliminarily connected via a combined network 2 client devices 3 users with the proposed device 1.

Stage A2. Users who sell goods, that is, sellers, can upload to the proposed electronic device using module 11 several different images of goods, for example from different angles. In addition to directly images, you can also load scanned 3D models of goods in any format (for example, AVTOCAD or any other format), which can be transformed into the format necessary for comparison.

Stage A3. Using module 12, the proposed electronic device automatically builds a three-dimensional model of goods, and stores them in a database of 15 goods with three-dimensional models of these goods.

Stage A4. Users who select products, that is, customers, can upload to the proposed electronic device using the input module 13 several images of a three-dimensional body with which they will compare the selected products. Such a voluminous body can act as the user's personal objects, for example, his clothes, his premises, residential or office, part of him, as well as the user and his individual fragments, such as legs, arms, head, body. It may be a drilled hole in the wall.

Stage A5. Using the module 14 for constructing a three-dimensional model of a three-dimensional body, the proposed device automatically builds a three-dimensional model of a three-dimensional body and stores it in a database of 16 three-dimensional bodies with three-dimensional models of these three-dimensional bodies. In addition to directly images, you can also load scanned 3D-models of a three-dimensional body in any format (for example, AVTOCAD or any other format), which can be converted into the format necessary for comparison.

Stage A6. Using module 19, the electronic device automatically identifies the volumetric body by its three-dimensional model of the volumetric body. That is, the user transmits only images, and the determination of what kind of volumetric body is and what its parameters are, for example, the actual dimensions, is determined by the electronic device.

Stage A7. Using module 110, the electronic device automatically selects from the database 15 those products that are suitable for the volumetric body that is entered into the electronic device both according to the three-dimensional model and the purpose of these products for use with this volumetric body. For example, if images of the hole are entered, then by its actual dimensions, which were determined in accordance with the previous step, it is proposed to search the database for fasteners, such as, for example, screws, dowels. Of course, this compares the three-dimensional model of the three-dimensional body and the three-dimensional model of goods on the same scale so that the selected products are suitable in size, for example, the diameter of the dowel coincides with the diameter of the hole.

Stage A8. In the case where a lot of such matches can be found, the number of suitable products is narrowed by grouping them according to the presence of identical characteristics and sending requests to client devices of users corresponding to the selection of sorting by the presence of some characteristic (for example, material of manufacture, or goods of a certain manufacturer ) or sorting by quantity (for example, minimum cost or minimum delivery time, or best quality).

Stage A9. In some cases, step A8 may be repeated several times when it is necessary to make restrictions from the sample for different parameters and different characteristics.

Stage A10. The result obtained at step A9, namely, the product that is suitable for the buyer by all criteria, is sent to the client devices of users using module 18.

The above embodiments of the utility model are exemplary and allow you to add new options or modify the described. For example, use stages selectively, rearrange.
