Digital Pass for Clothing Size Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in tracking and remembering their clothing sizes, especially when measurements are obtained in-store and need to be kept for future purchases or for others.
Innovation Solution
A digital pass is created and stored in a mobile wallet, which includes a digital capture of sizing information, style preferences, and other relevant details, allowing users to easily access and update this information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a physical card with measurements is provided to the user, then the sizing information is captured and stored, but the user loses track of the card and measurements become difficult to access and update
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a digital copy of the physical sizing card in a mobile wallet application. The measurements and sizing information are replicated from the physical card format into a digital format that can be stored, accessed, and updated electronically, eliminating the need to physically carry and track the original card.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/physical system of paper cards and manual tracking with a digital electronic system. The mobile wallet application stores sizing data electronically, allowing users to access measurements through their smartphone without needing physical cards, and enables easy updates through digital interfaces.
2Loss of information
If measurements are obtained and stored in-store, then sizing data is captured, but users cannot easily access this information for online shopping or purchasing for others
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the sizing information universal and accessible across multiple contexts and devices. The mobile wallet stores sizing data that can be accessed for various purposes - online shopping, in-store purchases, buying for others - eliminating the need to repeatedly provide measurements or search for physical cards in different situations.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile wallet application serves as an intermediary between the store's measurement system and the user's shopping needs. It bridges the gap by storing sizing data in a format that can be easily shared with retailers, both online and in-store, and accessible at any time without requiring direct connection to the original measurement location.
3Reliability
If users manually track measurements, then sizing information is maintained, but errors occur and updates are cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the sizing information system to serve itself through automatic updates and digital storage. Rather than requiring users to manually write down and track measurements, the system allows for easy digital updates, automatic synchronization with store systems, and self-maintenance through the mobile wallet application, reducing user burden and improving accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for a digital pass with user verification is disclosed. The method receives a request for the digital pass to be generated for a user. The request includes identification (ID) information that is added to a database. An image is defined for the digital pass, the image incorporates at least a portion of the ID information therein and is editable only by the digital pass management system. The method then generates the digital pass which includes the image and a non-image portion that is editable by the user. The digital pass is transmitted to the user's mobile device.
