AI Technical Summary
Online textile sales cannot accurately showcase the feel of textiles, leading to difficulties in transactions.
Smart fabrics are created by weaving conductive fibers and flexible sensors together, and the current intensity is recorded and adjusted using a database, allowing the flexible sensors to simulate an effect similar to the feel of textiles.
It achieves a realistic simulation of the feel of online textile products, thus improving the success rate of online transactions.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of textile fabric technology, and specifically to a method for simulating the feel of online textile products with offline fabrics. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology and the improvement of people's living standards, digital platforms are increasingly recognized and used. Online platforms for displaying and selling textiles and apparel have also emerged in a diverse way in the wave of the digital economy. However, because textiles and apparel require viewing samples and feeling the fabric's softness, drape, and other real-world effects, online sales face difficulties, especially for the display and sale of finished textile products. Because a precise tactile sample is unavailable, many digital platforms fail to facilitate transactions; customers still need to experience the physical feel of the product offline before making a purchase. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for simulating the feel of online textile products with offline fabrics.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A method for simulating the feel of online textile products with offline fabrics includes:
[0006] Establish a database to store the fabric names, specifications, and hand feel descriptions corresponding to different textile products;
[0007] Conductive fibers and flexible sensors are woven together to form a smart fabric, which is then connected to a controller.
[0008] By inputting current into conductive fibers and adjusting the strength of the current, the flexible sensor can exhibit different tactile sensations. The magnitude of the current when it has more than 95% similarity to the tactile sensation of textile products is recorded and stored in a database.
[0009] When a corresponding textile product is selected online, the controller retrieves data from the database and inputs the corresponding current into the conductive fibers, enabling the flexible sensor to simulate the feel of the textile product.
[0010] Preferably, the database is stored in local storage, which is connected to the controller.
[0011] Preferably, a wireless connection is used between the local storage and the controller.
[0012] Preferably, a wired connection is used between the local memory and the controller.
[0013] Preferably, the database is stored on a remote server, and the controller is connected to the remote server via a network.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: conductive fibers and flexible sensors are woven into fabric, different fabrics are matched through a matching database, and the current input to the conductive fibers is controlled so that the flexible sensors can simulate the feel of the corresponding textiles, thus achieving the effect of online display of finished textile products and offline simulation of fabric feel. Detailed Implementation
[0015] A method for simulating the feel of online textile products using offline fabrics.
[0016] Establish a database to store the fabric names, specifications, and hand feel descriptions corresponding to different textile products;
[0017] Conductive fibers and flexible sensors are woven together to form a smart fabric, which is then connected to a controller.
[0018] Current is input into the conductive fiber, and the strength of the current is adjusted to make the flexible sensor exhibit different tactile sensations. The current magnitude when it is more than 95% similar to the tactile sensation of the textile product is recorded, stored in the database, and associated with the relevant data of the textile product in the database.
[0019] When users select textile products, they can view their appearance online, then choose the specific product they wish to simulate online. The controller retrieves the relevant data for that product from the database. A corresponding current is then input into the conductive fibers, causing the flexible sensor to simulate the feel of the textile product. Users can then experience the feel of the textile, thus facilitating the online transaction.
[0020] Preferably, the database is stored in local storage, which is connected to the controller. The controller directly reads the relevant data of textile products from the local storage to enable the smart fabric to perform simulation.
[0021] Preferably, the local storage and controller are connected wirelessly. Connection methods include WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.
[0022] Preferably, the local storage and the controller are connected via a wired connection. Connection methods include data cable connection, network cable connection, etc.
[0023] As a preferred option, the database is stored on a remote server, and the controller is connected to the remote server via a network. After the user selects a textile product, the controller directly reads the relevant data stored in the remote server to control the smart fabric to perform the simulation.
[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of the present invention's concept are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
