Mannequin Pose Control Using Clothing-Type Database Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mannequin pose control systems fail to effectively adjust poses based on the type of clothing, often resulting in inappropriate displays that do not suit the specific apparel, such as a wedding dress being posed like fitness apparel.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that reads clothing data from a mannequin, associates it with a database record containing the optimal pose, and adjusts the mannequin's pose accordingly, using a mapping function that weighs various factors like clothing type, accessories, lighting, and location to determine the most suitable pose for effective display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional techniques cause a mannequin to mimic or imitate a pose of a person viewing the mannequin, then the mannequin can display dynamic poses, but the pose may not be suited for the type of clothing being displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes a database containing multiple pose templates associated with different clothing types, styles, and demographics. Before a mannequin needs to display clothing, the appropriate pose template is already selected and stored in the database based on the clothing characteristics, ensuring the pose is appropriate before the actual display occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a database as an intermediary between the clothing data and the mannequin pose control. The database contains pre-defined pose templates that mediate the relationship between clothing characteristics and mannequin poses, ensuring that the pose selection is both systematic and appropriate for the specific clothing type being displayed.
2Ease of operation
If a mannequin uses a fixed pose for all clothing types, then the system is simple to operate, but the display effectiveness for different clothing types is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a universal database structure that can handle multiple clothing types, styles, and pose templates through a single unified system. The database is designed to accommodate diverse clothing categories and their corresponding pose requirements, allowing the same system to effectively display various types of clothing without requiring separate control mechanisms for each type.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of pose selection from a fixed constant to a variable determined by clothing characteristics. By introducing parameters such as clothing type, style, and demographic target, the system dynamically selects appropriate poses from the database, transforming the pose from a static setting to an adaptive parameter that varies with the displayed clothing.
3Reliability
If the system associates clothing data with database records to determine optimal poses, then the pose appropriateness for specific clothing types is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the complex decision-making process of pose selection from the real-time control system and places it into a pre-computed database. By taking out the pose determination logic and storing it as pre-defined templates in the database, the system reduces the computational burden on the real-time control mechanism while maintaining high pose appropriateness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs the complex task of matching clothing characteristics with appropriate poses in advance and stores the results in the database. This preliminary action eliminates the need for complex real-time calculations when a mannequin needs to display clothing, as the appropriate pose template is already determined and stored based on the clothing data.
Data Source
AI summary
A mannequin pose control computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product, includes reading clothing data of an article of clothing on a mannequin, determining a pose for the mannequin by associating the clothing data with a record in a database that includes the pose for the mannequin, and changing a current pose of the mannequin to match the pose for the mannequin based on the record in the database.
