Description

On-demand custom clothing platform system

[0001] The present invention relates to a custom-made clothing platform system, and more particularly, to a custom-made clothing platform system that collects three-dimensional unique body size data measured for each customer, displays an image or video of clothes tailored to the customer's body size based on the customer's body size data collected in advance when the customer shops at an online custom-made clothing shopping mall, and uses the customer's body size data collected in advance to first cut the basic element pattern of the clothes and then manufacture the clothes, thereby increasing customer satisfaction with clothes purchases and reducing the inventory burden on manufacturers.

[0002]

[0003] Recently, e-commerce and e-marketing, leveraging the Internet, have rapidly expanded their reach. These services have revolutionized the traditional retail system, where customers had to visit stores to select items. Customers can now search for specific products and purchase them, or make payments and order specific services, all from home, without having to visit a store.

[0004] For example, users can visit e-commerce websites to search for information on various products and purchase the items they need. They can also easily order products from both domestic and international markets. Despite this, e-commerce is not actively implemented in the clothing industry. This is due to the demanding nature of clothing, which requires users to see, touch, and try on clothing to ensure it fits their body type.

[0005] Furthermore, while ready-made clothing is partially commerce-driven due to its standardized sizes, it's undeniably inferior to other items. In particular, existing custom-made services require users to go to a store, request a custom-made garment, select the fabric and design, and then undergo a cumbersome process of re-fitting and re-obtaining the garment after a period of time.

[0006] In this way, custom-made clothing has some very difficult issues when implemented as an e-commerce model, such as the user having to determine the size according to their body type and even select the material of the fabric before the product is made.

[0007] Furthermore, many clothing companies operating online shopping malls that implement e-commerce struggle with inventory management, and many have even gone bankrupt due to inventory issues. The actual size coverage of ready-made clothing is not very high. In the US, only about 50% of ready-made clothing fits people well, about 25% are wearable but don't fit well, and the remaining 25% don't fit at all. Furthermore, because clothing follows trends and is mostly seasonal, the inventory ratio in retail stores is as high as 30%. Issues such as price reductions and storage fees for excess inventory are a significant burden for clothing companies, leading to difficulties due to high inventory ratios.

[0008]

[0009] The present invention has been devised to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a custom-made clothing platform system that collects three-dimensional unique body size data measured for each customer, displays images or videos of clothes tailored to the customer's body size based on the customer's body size data collected in advance when each customer shops at an online custom-made clothing shopping mall, and uses the customer's body size data collected in advance to first cut the basic element pattern of the clothes and then manufacture the clothes, thereby increasing customer satisfaction with clothes purchases and reducing the burden of inventory on manufacturers.

[0010]

[0011] According to the present invention, a custom-made clothing platform system is provided, characterized in that it collects three-dimensional unique body size data measured for each customer, displays an image or video of clothes tailored to the customer's body size based on the customer's body size data collected in advance when each customer shops at an online custom-made clothing shopping mall, and supports the production of custom-made clothes using the customer's body size data collected in advance when the customer purchases clothes.

[0012]

[0013] According to the present invention, three-dimensional unique body size data measured for each customer is collected, and when each customer shops at an online custom-made clothing shopping mall, an image or video of clothes tailored to the customer's body size is displayed based on the customer's body size data collected in advance, and when the customer purchases clothes, the basic element pattern of the clothes is first cut using the customer's body size data collected in advance, and then the clothes are made, thereby increasing the customer's satisfaction with clothes purchase and reducing the inventory burden on the manufacturer.

[0023] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0024]

[0025] FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining a custom-made clothing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a custom-made clothing platform system collects three-dimensional unique body size data measured for each customer, and displays an image or video of clothes tailored to the customer's body size based on the customer's body size data collected in advance when each customer shops at an online custom-made clothing shopping mall, and uses the customer's body size data collected in advance to first cut the basic element pattern of the clothes and then make the clothes, and its components include: a scanning device (10) that measures the three-dimensional body size of an individual customer to generate body size data; a scanning data platform server (20) that receives and manages customer information that has measured the body size from the scanning device (10) and the body size data matched thereto; a custom-made clothing shopping mall that sends customer information of a customer connected through a customer terminal (40) to the scanning data platform server (20) to acquire the customer's body size data, and displays an image or video of clothes tailored to the customer's body size based on the acquired body size data to support the customer's shopping; and a custom-made clothing shopping mall that transmits customer information and clothing purchase information to the scanning data platform server (20) when the customer purchases clothes. A server (30), an AI support server (50) that receives the customer's clothing purchase information and body size data from the scanning data platform server (20) and inputs the same into a basic element pattern generation model learned through each body size data stored in the scanning data platform server (20) to generate an optimal basic element pattern of clothing that fits the customer's body size data.It may be configured to include a pattern cutting server (60) that receives the customer's clothing purchase information and basic element pattern information from the AI ​​support server (50) and supports cutting the basic element pattern of the clothing first among the entire design, and a custom clothing manufacturer server (70) that receives the customer's clothing purchase information and body size data from the pattern cutting server (50) and supports creating a detailed design of the clothing to complete the clothing.

[0027] The above scanning device (10) may be configured to include a 3D body scanner, and scans the customer's body in three dimensions and converts it into data. The 3D body scanner scans the customer's body in three dimensions and generates body size data in the form of a file, and the scanning device (10) manages the generated body size data by matching it with the customer's customer information.

[0028] Such a scanning device (10) can be installed and operated in various locations that are easily accessible to customers offline.

[0029] Additionally, the above scanning device (10) may be implemented by a scan app (application) of a mobile terminal equipped with a camera.

[0030] The above scanning data platform server (20) receives and manages customer information and body size data matched therewith that has undergone body size measurement from the scanning device (10).

[0031] The above scanning data platform server (20) can receive and manage customer information and body size data matched therewith from various types of scanning devices (10), and can also receive and manage customer information and body size data matched therewith through a customer's mobile terminal or computer connected online.

[0032] The above-mentioned custom clothing shopping mall server (30) may be a shopping mall specializing in custom clothing, rather than a ready-made clothing store. Unlike ready-made clothing, which can be mass-produced to specific sizes to reduce production costs, custom clothing can be manufactured according to the customer's body type and preferences, but is characterized by relatively high production costs due to the impossibility of mass production.

[0033] The above-mentioned custom clothing shopping mall server (30) first sends customer information of a customer terminal (40) accessing for custom clothing shopping to the above-mentioned scanning data platform server (20) to obtain the customer's body size data.

[0034] The custom clothing shopping mall server (30) that has acquired the body size data of the connected customer displays an image or video of clothes tailored to the customer's body size based on the customer's body size data, thereby supporting efficient and intuitive shopping for the customer.

[0035] A customer who has intuitively seen clothes tailored to his or her body size in this way purchases the clothes, and the custom clothing shopping mall server (30) transmits customer information and clothes purchase information to the scanning data platform server (20) for the purpose of producing custom clothing according to the customer's purchase of clothes.

[0036] The above pattern cutting server (60) receives the customer's clothing purchase information and body size data from the scanning data platform server (20) and generates a basic element pattern of the corresponding clothing, thereby supporting the basic element pattern of the clothing to be cut first among the entire design.

[0037] In addition, the custom clothing manufacturer server (70) receives the customer's clothing purchase information and body size data from the pattern cutting server (50) and creates a detailed design of the clothing to support the completion of the clothing.

[0038] Here, the customer terminal (40) is an end user computer that connects to the custom clothing shopping mall server (30) through an information and communication network, and may be any information and communication terminal capable of transmitting and receiving data through an information and communication network, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook, a workstation, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a portable computer, a wireless phone, a mobile phone, an e-book, a PMP (portable multimedia player), a portable game console, a navigation device, a black box, a digital camera, a television, a wearable device, but is not limited thereto.

[0039] In addition, the customer terminal (40) is a typical system component, and includes a web browser program that calls up a web page based on a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), interprets the HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language) code, and displays it on a monitor, and an operating system (OS: Operating System) program that manages and controls the computer system as a whole. In particular, the client terminal (100) is preferably a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet PC with enhanced mobility and individuality. Such a customer terminal (40) can communicate with the custom clothing shopping mall server (30) through an information and communication network using a wireless or wired communication method.

[0040]

[0041] As described above, the best practice embodiments have been disclosed in the drawings and specifications. While specific terminology has been used herein, it is solely for the purpose of describing the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as defined in the claims. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible. Therefore, the true scope of technical protection of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
