[0005] However, in the conventional technology, for example, the color may become cloudy due to the irregular reflection of the microcapsules, so it has not been possible to provide an integrated component with high aesthetic quality of color change.
[0006] The present application has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide an integrated component with high aesthetic quality of color change.
[0007] The integrated component according to the present application is an integrated component composed of a plurality of members having different color change modes depending on temperature changes, and is characterized in that different members are exposed for each area.
[0008] According to one aspect of the embodiment, there is an effect that an integrated component with high aesthetic quality of color change can be provided.

[0010] The following describes in detail, with reference to the drawings, the embodiments for implementing the integrated component according to the present application (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments"). Note that these embodiments do not limit the integrated component according to the present application. Furthermore, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals in each of the following embodiments, and redundant descriptions are omitted.
[0011] (Embodiment) [1. Description of Integrated Components] Conventionally, there are known technologies for constructing textiles that incorporate dyes that change color in response to temperature. For example, there are known technologies for constructing textiles by incorporating temperature-responsive dyes into yarn or by applying them via screen printing or the like.
[0012] However, the color change temperature tends to vary by about 7 to 10 degrees Celsius depending on the material, making it difficult to detect subtle temperature changes. Furthermore, because it involves a color change between two colors, the range of colors that can be expressed may be limited.
[0013] Furthermore, the rate of color change in response to temperature changes also depends on the material, so the rate of color change may be monotonous. In addition, the color change follows the sigmoidal Boltzmann equation (for example, equation (14) described in Non-Patent Document 1), so it may also be monotonous.
[0014] Furthermore, a common technique involves encapsulating pigments and color developers in microcapsules. While encapsulating in multiple microcapsules allows for multi-stage color changes, the aesthetic quality of the color expression may be compromised due to diffuse reflection and color interference from the capsules themselves. For example, mixing pigments with different thresholds or pigments that do not change with temperature allows for temperature-responsive color expression, but the microcapsules may cause the color to become cloudy.
[0015] Furthermore, while heating each layer with a laser to create multiple color-changing layers allows for multi-stage color changes, the inner layers are difficult to heat, resulting in a slower response to ambient temperature changes and potentially compromising the real-time nature of color representation. For example, multi-layering that absorbs only specific wavelengths and generates heat (i.e., multi-layering that generates heat only at specific depths) can reduce color cast, but this requires a multi-layering process and lasers of specific wavelengths, which can increase costs.
[0016] This application has been made in view of the above, and aims to provide an integrated component with high aesthetic appeal in terms of color change.
[0017] In the following explanation, we will use the example of a textile as the integrated component, but the integrated component may also be yarn. For example, the integrated component may be yarn included in the textile (which may be yarn in the sense of warp or weft threads), or it may be yarn used to weave or knit the textile.
[0018] Hereinafter, an example of an integrated component according to the embodiment will be described using textile 100. Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the surface of an integrated component according to the embodiment. In textile 100, the surface is designed to expose temperature-responsive dye regions having multiple different temperature thresholds and color change gradients. Therefore, in textile 100, changes in design are possible in response to minute changes in temperature.
[0019] "A" and "B" in Figure 1 are yarns exposed on the surface of textile 100. Textile 100 is a textile constructed by tiling temperature-varying yarns "A" and "B" side by side, as shown in Figure 1. Specifically, textile 100 is a textile constructed by plain weaving temperature-varying yarns "A" and "B". Temperature-varying yarns "A" and "B" differ in color, temperature threshold for color change, and rate of color change in response to temperature (due to differences in materials and thermal conductivity). For example, depending on the material and thermal conductivity, some yarns will change color even with the same temperature increase, while others will not. Also, since the exposed surface area changes depending on the weaving or knitting method, more delicate color expression becomes possible compared to conventional technology.
[0020] Similarly, when knitting, the textile 100 may be constructed using multiple types of yarn. Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a knitting method according to an embodiment. As shown in Figure 2, the textile 100 may be constructed by knitting two types of yarn. Here, for example, the black-painted yarn corresponds to the temperature-change yarn "A", and the transparent yarn corresponds to the temperature-change yarn "B". For example, the textile 100 may be constructed by knitting the temperature-change yarn "A" and the temperature-change yarn "B" in a 1:1 ratio. Note that the ratio of yarns is not particularly limited to this example.
[0021] In Figure 1, an example is given where textile 100 is constructed using plain weave with temperature-varying yarn "A" and temperature-varying yarn "B". However, the weaving method is not limited to plain weave, and textile 100 may be constructed using any weaving method. Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram for illustrating the weaving method according to the embodiment. The left diagram of Figure 3 shows plain weave, similar to Figure 1, the middle diagram of Figure 3 shows twill weave, and the right diagram of Figure 3 shows satin weave. Plain weave is a weaving method in which, for example, one warp thread and one weft thread are interwoven alternately, and is characterized by producing a highly durable textile. On the other hand, twill weave is a weaving method in which, for example, two warp threads and two weft threads are skipped before intersecting, and is characterized by producing a supple and lustrous textile. Furthermore, a weaving method in which four warp or weft threads are skipped before intersecting is called five-ply satin, and is characterized by producing a smooth and lustrous textile.
[0022] Here, for example, the blacked-out areas correspond to the temperature-changing yarn "A," and the transparent areas correspond to the temperature-changing yarn "B." For the sake of explanation, only plain weaves are labeled with symbols, but similar symbols may be applied to twill weaves and satin weaves as well. Textile 100 may be composed of a twill weave with temperature-changing yarn "A" and temperature-changing yarn "B," or it may be composed of a satin weave with temperature-changing yarn "A" and temperature-changing yarn "B."
[0023] Figures 4A and 4B are explanatory diagrams (1A) and (1B) illustrating the color change according to the embodiment. Figures 5A and 5B are supplementary diagrams to Figures 4A and 4B, and are explanatory diagrams (2A) and (2B) illustrating the color change according to the embodiment. Figure 4A shows the color change of the surface of a textile using one type of yarn ("A1" temperature-varying yarn). Specifically, Figure 4A shows the color change of a textile (see Figure 5A) composed of "A1" temperature-varying yarns arranged and tiled as shown in Figure 1. Furthermore, in the color change temperature range, the entire surface becomes uniformly transparent as the temperature increases. That is, the "Color Intensity" decreases uniformly across the entire surface. Note that Tc is the phase transition temperature, indicating the temperature at which a transition (such as a color change) occurs.
[0024] Figure 4B shows the color change of the textile surface using three types of yarn ("A1" temperature-dependent yarn, "B1" temperature-dependent yarn, and "C1" temperature-dependent yarn). Specifically, Figure 4B shows the color change of a textile (see Figure 5B) composed of "A1" temperature-dependent yarn, "B1" temperature-dependent yarn, and "C1" temperature-dependent yarn tiled as shown in Figure 1. Furthermore, because each yarn has a different temperature range for discoloration, a checkerboard pattern appears as the temperature rises, and finally it becomes transparent. In other words, the "Color Intensity" decreases separately across the entire surface.
[0025] In Figure 4A, only one type of yarn is tiled, whereas in Figure 4B, three types of yarn are tiled in a checkerboard pattern, so the surface of the textile becomes checkerboard in the temperature range where the temperature changes. Note that, as in Figure 4B, the temperature ranges in which the colors of the three types of yarn change may partially overlap.
[0026] Furthermore, the temperature range for color change may include, for example, the body temperature range of an animal (such as a human). This allows for color changes from within, depending on body temperature. Consequently, it becomes possible to visualize heat flow in an interactive manner in response to the behavior of a person or other organism.
[0027] Furthermore, the temperature range for color change may include temperature ranges due to natural elements such as wind. This makes it possible to change colors due to external natural elements such as wind. Therefore, it becomes possible to visualize the flow of heat in an interactive response to natural elements such as wind. Therefore, it becomes possible to realize fantastical clothing that changes color organically, like a creature that mimics the wind. Examples of clothing include dresses made of multiple layers of lace woven with leuco yarn, and outerwear made of fur material constructed from leuco fibers.
[0028] Figure 6 is an explanatory diagram (3) for illustrating the color change according to the embodiment. Figure 7 is a diagram supplementing Figure 6 and is an explanatory diagram (4) for illustrating the color change according to the embodiment. Figures 4A and 4B show examples where the material gradually becomes transparent as the temperature rises. For example, Figure 4B shows an example where all three types of yarn become transparent. Here, Figure 6 shows the color change of the surface of a textile using two types of yarn ("A2" temperature-change yarn and "B2" temperature-change yarn). Specifically, Figure 6 shows the color change of a textile (see Figure 7) composed of "A2" temperature-change yarn and "B2" temperature-change yarn tiled as shown in Figure 1.
[0029] In Figure 6, one of the two types of yarn ("A2" temperature-change yarn) changes from dark to light as the temperature rises, and the other yarn ("B2" temperature-change yarn) changes from light to dark as the temperature rises. For example, by changing the "A2" temperature-change yarn from black to yellow and the "B2" temperature-change yarn from light red to red, at low temperatures, "A2" becomes black and "B2" becomes light red, resulting in a textile that is close to black. At high temperatures, "A2" becomes yellow and "B2" becomes red, resulting in an orange textile. At medium temperatures, "A2" becomes green, an intermediate color between black and yellow, and "B2" becomes pink, resulting in a textile that is close to yellow, which can be applied to displays such as heatstroke alerts. In this way, when multiple yarns change color at different temperatures, combining these multiple yarns can express complex intermediate colors depending on the temperature, resulting in a textile that changes subtly.
[0030] Here, the structure of the integrated component according to the embodiment will be described. The textile 100 is composed of yarns (corresponding to multiple components) that exhibit different color changes depending on temperature changes. For example, as shown in Figure 6, the textile 100 is composed of yarns with different color changes. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 4B, the textile 100 is composed of yarns with different color change thresholds (e.g., temperature ranges). In this case, as shown in Figure 4B, the color change thresholds may partially overlap. In this case, a more continuous color change can be expressed compared to a textile where the color change thresholds do not partially overlap. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 4B, the textile 100 is composed of yarns with different color change rates.
[0031] Furthermore, the textile 100 is configured so that different threads are exposed in each area. For example, the textile 100 may be configured so that one type of thread is exposed by arranging one type of thread as shown in Figure 4A, or so that three types of threads are exposed by arranging three types of threads as shown in Figure 4B, or so that two types of threads are exposed by arranging two types of threads as shown in Figure 6.
[0032] Furthermore, the textile 100 may be configured such that the exposure density of exposed yarn differs from area to area. For example, even when three types of yarn are used as shown in Figure 4B, if the textile is configured so that there are more "A1" temperature-varying yarns, the exposure density of "A1" temperature-varying yarns will be high. Similarly, if the textile is configured so that there are more "B1" temperature-varying yarns, the exposure density of "B1" temperature-varying yarns will be high, and if the textile is configured so that there are more "C1" temperature-varying yarns, the exposure density of "C1" temperature-varying yarns will be high. In this way, the exposure density may be adjusted for each area. For example, this is the case when the textile 100 is constructed using a twill weave or satin weave as shown in Figure 3.
[0033] Furthermore, the textile 100 may be configured such that the exposed area of each exposed thread is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold. For example, in the textile 100, the exposed area of the exposed threads may be adjusted to produce a color change effect. Also, the color change of the threads hidden on the back may be controlled by the threads exposed on the surface. In other words, it may be possible to express not only the color of the threads exposed on the surface, but also the color of the threads hidden on the back, using the threads exposed on the surface. For example, the presence of highly reflective threads on the back can change the design of the threads exposed on the surface and the overall design of the textile. The design of the textile 100 may be adjustable by the reflection of light due to the exposure of threads (for example, by the reflection of light based on the exposed area and the selection of exposed threads).
[0034] Furthermore, the textile 100 may be configured such that the distance between exposed threads on the surface is within a predetermined threshold. For example, in the textile 100, the distance between exposed threads may be adjusted to the extent that a color change is visible.
[0035] Next, variations in the structure of the integrated component according to the embodiment will be described. The first color yarn and second color yarn described below correspond to yarns with different temperature changes. The textile 100 may be a textile that includes the first color yarn and second color yarn, which are made by cutting the first color film and the second color film into yarn shapes, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7520947 (see Figures 5A to C), and is constructed by weaving or knitting these foil yarns.
[0036] Furthermore, the textile 100 may be a textile that includes, for example, a first textile comprising a first color yarn (by weaving or knitting, for example) and a second textile comprising a second color yarn (by weaving or knitting, for example) (by overlapping or bonding, for example), as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7520948 (see Figures 6A to D).
[0037] Furthermore, the textile 100 may be a textile constructed by cutting a film, which includes a first-color film and a second-color film (for example, by overlapping or laminating them), into threads to create foil threads containing the first and second colors, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7520950 (see Figures 1A to D), and incorporating these foil threads (for example, by weaving or knitting). It should be noted that the textile 100 is not limited to being constructed based on a film in which a film layer containing the first color and a film layer containing the second color are laminated, but may also be constructed based on a film in which the first and second colors are mixed (for example, blended or kneaded) into either of the film layers.
[0038] Furthermore, the textile 100 may be a textile that includes yarn composed of a first color yarn and a second color yarn (for example, by twisting or spiral winding them together) as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 7438169 (see Figure 4B), and is constructed by weaving or knitting it. For example, the textile 100 may be a textile that includes yarn in which the first color and the second color are layered concentrically by twisting (or spiral winding) the first color yarn and the second color yarn together (for example, by weaving or knitting it together).
[0039] Generally, core-spun structures are constructed by twisting a high-strength core yarn around which other yarns surround it. This allows for adjustments to properties such as elasticity and thermal conductivity. By constructing textiles with core-spun structures, they can be used in products requiring high durability and flexibility. Furthermore, in the case of flat shapes such as films, which may not be woven on looms, the ability to construct textiles using twisted yarns opens up a wider range of applications. In addition, when the exposed area is determined by the twisted yarn unit, the design can sometimes be controlled by the yarn itself. Since a wide range of tonal expression is possible with the yarn itself, including yarns capable of different tonal expressions can expand the possibilities of tonal expression in textiles.
[0040] Also, for example, in the case of a film-based film yarn, there may be a need to control the textile structure so that a dye is arranged on one side of the film surface and the dye surface becomes the front side. In the case of film yarn, for example, there may be a need for a device such as forming multiple layers, coating a dye film on both sides, cutting, and then twisting the yarn to eliminate the need to consider the front and back. On the other hand, as an example of the advantages of film-based film yarn, for example, the advantage of arrangement can be cited. For example, in the case of twisted yarn, there is a possibility that the visibility is reduced because the dye is arranged at the twisted part, whereas the film yarn has a flat structure, so it is possible to arrange the dye in the plane direction.
[0041] Further, the textile 100 may be, for example, a textile configured to include a yarn in which the first color and the second color are laminated concentrically (for example, by weaving or knitting) by coating the first color yarn with the second color (or it may be the case of coating the second color yarn with the first color) as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 7438169 (see FIG. 4A).
[0042] Further, the textile 100 may be, for example, a textile configured to include a yarn in which the first color and the second color are laminated concentrically (for example, by weaving or knitting) by mixing (or kneading) the second color into the first color yarn as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 7438169 (see FIG. 4C).
[0043] Further, the integrated component according to the embodiment may include a member that controls the thermal characteristics and temperature of the integrated component. By using members with different thermal conductivities, the thermal characteristics change, and desired design properties and the like can be achieved. Also, by combining a heater, a cooler, etc., the temperature can be controlled locally, and further, a more complex change in color tone becomes possible.
[0044] [2. Estimation system for integrated component] Hereinafter, as an example of the usage mode regarding the integrated component according to the embodiment, an estimation system for the integrated component will be described. Hereinafter, it will be described as the estimation system 1 as appropriate.
[0045] The estimation system 1 is used as a sales tool when introducing an integrated component such as the textile 100, for example. For example, the estimation system 1 may be used in technologies that can intuitively manipulate digital objects in the real space, such as an MR (Mixed Reality) device. By displaying the textile 100 completed using the MR device, it becomes possible to simulate how the textile 100 will look when completed.
[0046] The estimation system 1 will be described using FIG. 8. As shown in FIG. 8, the estimation system 1 includes a user terminal 10 and an estimation device 20. The user terminal 10 and the estimation device 20 are communicably connected to each other by wire or wirelessly via a predetermined communication network (network N). FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the estimation system 1 according to the embodiment. Note that the estimation system 1 shown in FIG. 8 may include a plurality of user terminals 10 and a plurality of estimation devices 20.
[0047] The user terminal 10 is an information processing device used by a user. For example, it is used by a user who desires to intuitively grasp the shape, size feeling, appearance, etc. of the textile 100. For example, it is used by a user who desires to grasp in advance how the color tone changes and what intermediate colors are like by adjusting the color tone change range of the thread, the fineness of the thread, etc.
[0048] The user terminal 10 may be any device as long as it can realize the processing in the embodiment. Also, the user terminal 10 may be a device such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC, a desktop PC, a mobile phone, a PDA, a microcomputer (microcontroller).
[0049] The estimation device 20 is an information processing device intended to estimate the completed form of integrated components, such as textiles 100, so that users can intuitively grasp the shape, size, and appearance of the integrated components. For example, the estimation device 20 accepts specifications such as the range of color variation of the yarn and the thickness of the yarn. For example, the estimation device 20 accepts specifications such as the range of color variation and the thickness of the yarn for at least two different colors of yarn.
[0050] For example, the estimation device 20 estimates the color changes and intermediate colors of the textile 100 under the specified conditions. The estimation device 20 is implemented by, for example, a server device or cloud system that provides a predetermined service to display the finished state of the textile 100 using MR technology so that the user can intuitively understand the textile 100.
[0051] Although Figure 8 shows a case where the user terminal 10 and the estimation device 20 are separate devices, the user terminal 10 and the estimation device 20 may be integrated into a single unit.
