In this regard, FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a system for designing a special suit according to the present invention. Meanwhile, FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a special suit design device according to the present invention.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 1, a system (platform) for designing special clothing may be configured to include a special clothing design device (1000), a fabric physical property database (DB) (2000), and a motion analysis DB (3000).

[0029] Referring to FIG. 2, the special clothing design device (1000) may include an interface unit (100) and a processor (200). The special clothing design device (1000) may further include a memory (300) and a display (400).

[0030] Hereinafter, an apparatus for managing fabric physical property data according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2. An interface unit (100) may be configured to receive physical property information of the fabric and motion information of a wearer wearing a special garment. A processor (200) may be operably coupled with the interface unit (100). When a type of special garment is selected based on the wearer's motions, the processor (200) may be configured to determine parts of the special garment that require modification in response to said motions.

[0031] The processor (200) may be further configured to recommend fabrics suitable for parts of the special suit that are determined to require modification. The processor (200) can determine the parts of the special suit that require modification and the fabrics based on user input through the interface unit (100), information obtained from the fabric DB (2000), and information obtained from the motion analysis DB (3000).

[0032] Information obtained from the fabric DB (2000) and information obtained from the motion analysis DB (3000) can be stored in the memory (300). Information regarding parts and fabrics that require modification of the special suit can be stored in the memory (300).

[0033] The processor (200) can obtain information related to the special suit design proposal through the interface section (100). The processor (200) can obtain information related to the functionality of the special suit through the interface section (100), such as the work of the wearer wearing the special suit, the purpose of the special suit, the season in which the special suit will be worn, and information related to the wearing of the special suit regarding the body part where the special suit will be worn. The processor (200) can obtain physical property information of the fabric by linking with the fabric DB (2000). The processor (200) can obtain motion information of the wearer by linking with the motion analysis DB (3000).

[0034] The processor (200) can determine parts of the special suit that require modification in response to the movements of the special suit, based on information related to wearing the special suit, physical property information of the fabric, and movement information of the wearer. The processor (200) can recommend fabrics suitable for the parts of the special suit that are determined to require modification.

[0035] Various information such as the physical properties, price, and manufacturing supplier of the fabric may be stored in the fabric DB (2000). First physical property information of the fabric, including weight per unit area, thickness, and drape coefficient of the fabric, may be stored in the fabric DB (2000). Second physical property information regarding drapeability, flexibility, and fullness of the fabric may be stored in the fabric DB (2000). Fabric unit price / supply information, including the unit price of the fabric and fabric supplier information, may be stored in the fabric DB (2000).

[0036] The processor (200) is based on the wearing area of ​​the special suit and the equipment information of the equipment held by the wearer, and can recommend a first fabric with air permeability above a threshold value based on the first physical property information for the first part of the special suit. The processor (200) can recommend a second fabric with drapeability below a second threshold value based on the second physical property information for the second part of the special suit.

[0037] In this regard, the present invention may perform a process of selecting the type of special uniform to be manufactured in a hierarchical structure. For example, the type of special uniform may be selected in the order of police officer -> security uniform (demonstration suppression) -> summer / winter uniform -> male / female -> top / bottom / jumper. When police / security / summer uniform / male / top is selected, the function of recommending a fabric optimized for each part of the top can be performed by linking with a motion DB (3000) that stores special job-related motion patterns, excluding general motion information such as walking, running, and sitting.

[0038] The fabric DB (2000) stores physical property information of the fabric, such as weight per unit area, thickness, and drape coefficient, along with the physical properties of the fabric and the drapeability, flexibility, and fullness of the stored fabric. The fabric DB (2000) may include various information related to the fabric, such as the unit price of the fabric and information on the fabric supplier. Additionally, the special clothing design device is connected to or included within the fabric DB (2000) and can perform the function of recommending the optimal fabric for each part of the special clothing.

[0039] For example, when designing a security guard top, motion analysis databases may recommend a fabric that allows for good ventilation in the open side areas when riot gear is worn on the top. Meanwhile, since the elbow and shoulder areas are where plastic protectors are worn and are frequently damaged due to wear and tear, it may be recommended to select a fabric that is relatively durable and has low drape.

[0040] In addition, when selecting fabrics, the budget and time required to produce special garments can be planned by estimating the manufacturing period based on factors such as production unit costs and sewing difficulty.

[0041] Meanwhile, according to the present specification, a special suit can be designed in a 3D space by arranging different fabrics according to area for each part of the special suit. In this regard, FIG. 3 shows a conceptual diagram in which first and second fabrics can be arranged in first and second parts of a firefighting suit according to an example of the present invention.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 3, first and second fabrics can be placed in the first and second parts of the firefighting suit. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the process of placing first and second fabrics in the first and second parts of the firefighting suit according to the present invention is described. When designing the firefighting suit top, the motion analysis DB (300) may recommend a fabric that allows for good ventilation in the first part (10a to 10e), which is the side part and wrist part that are open when firefighting equipment is worn on the firefighting suit top. Additionally, a fluorescent material fabric may be applied to the first part (10a to 10e), which is the side part and wrist part, so that other firefighters can recognize it well during fire suppression.

[0043] Meanwhile, the second part (20, 30), which is the elbow and knee area, is the part where plastic protective gear is worn and is the part where damage to the firefighting suit frequently occurs during fire suppression, so it is recommended to select a fabric that is relatively durable and has low drape.

[0044] The processor (200) can design the special suit in 3D space with the first fabric placed as a first area in the first part of the special suit and placed as a second area in the second part of the special suit. In this regard, the 3D layout and structural diagram of the special suit designed in 3D space with the first fabric placed as a first area in the first part of the special suit and placed as a second area in the second part of the special suit can be displayed on the display (400).

[0045] Additionally, the processor (200) can introduce the specially designed suit into a virtual fitting system in which the wearer is wearing it, and after virtual fitting, the wearer can execute the operation information while holding the equipment. Additionally, the processor (200) can execute the operation information in a 3D virtual space while holding the equipment to collect information on the wearer's work efficiency and safety over time.

[0046] For the above, a special clothing design device according to one aspect of the present invention has been described. Below, a special clothing design method according to another aspect of the present invention will be described. In this regard, FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of a special clothing design method according to the present invention.

[0048] In the step of receiving physical property information and motion information (S100), physical property information of the fabric can be received from the fabric DB, and motion information of the wearer wearing the special suit can be received from the motion analysis DB. In the step of determining parts of the special suit that need to be modified (S200), if the type of special suit is selected based on the movements of the wearer, parts of the special suit that need to be modified can be determined in response to the movements. In the step of recommending suitable fabrics (S300), fabrics suitable for the parts of the special suit that need to be modified can be recommended in response to the movements.

[0049] The step of recommending suitable fabrics (S300) may include a step of recommending a first fabric (S310) and a step of recommending a second fabric (320). In the step of recommending the first fabric (S310), based on the wearing area of ​​the special suit and the equipment information of the equipment held by the wearer, a first fabric with air permeability above a threshold value may be recommended for the first part of the special suit based on the first physical property information. In the step of recommending the second fabric (320), a second fabric with drapeability below a second threshold value may be recommended for the second part of the special suit based on the second physical property information.

[0050] The above method may further include a step of designing a special suit in 3D space (S400) and a step of determining whether the special suit is suitable for the operation and work environment (S500). In the step of designing a special suit in 3D space (S400), the special suit can be designed in 3D space while the recommended fabric is placed in the determined area.

[0051] The step of designing a special suit in 3D space (S400) can design the special suit in 3D space while the first fabric is placed as a first area in the first part of the special suit and placed as a second area in the second part of the special suit.

[0052] In the step (S500) of determining whether the special suit is suitable for the operation or work environment, the designed special suit is introduced into a virtual fitting system in which the wearer is wearing it. After virtual fitting, the wearer's operation information is executed to determine whether the special suit is suitable for the actual operation or work environment in a 3D virtual space. If it is determined to be suitable in the step (S500) of determining whether the special suit is suitable for the actual operation or work environment, the design operation is terminated. If it is determined not to be suitable in the step (S500) of determining whether the special suit is suitable for the actual operation or work environment, the steps below the step (S200) of determining parts of the special suit that require modification may be repeatedly performed.
