Solution Overview

Problem

Existing virtual fitting systems cannot visually confirm a future 'fitting state' of a child, only allowing users to see the current fitting state of their child when trying on clothing.

Innovation Solution

An image generating apparatus that compares a future body size of a person with a clothing size, adjusts the scale of clothing and person images accordingly, and generates a virtual fitting image by superimposing the clothing image on the person image.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a virtual fitting system displays only the current fitting state of a child, then the user can confirm how the child looks now, but the user cannot visually confirm the future fitting state of the child

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefuture fitting state informationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring the child's growth data and predicting future body size before the actual fitting attempt. It adjusts the scale of the child image based on predicted growth and superimposes the clothing image on the scaled child image to show the future fitting state, allowing users to preview how clothing will fit after growth without waiting for actual future fitting attempts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If the system adjusts the scale of images to match future body size, then the future fitting state becomes accurate, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefitting prediction accuracyVSAvoidimage processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters by acquiring the child's current body size and growth rate, calculating the future body size, and using this calculated parameter to adjust the scale of the child image. The clothing image is then superimposed on the scaled child image, ensuring accurate representation of future fitting state through parameter-based scaling rather than complex transformations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
