Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Users attending video meetings face inconvenience in determining appropriate clothing attire due to lack of information about the dress code and atmosphere of the meeting, leading to suboptimal communication and reduced usage of video meeting systems.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for virtual fitting that acquires garment characteristic parameters from other participants, determines a dress code, detects candidate fitting garments, and virtually applies a suitable garment image to the user, minimizing the need for attire changes and enhancing communication by ensuring appropriate attire.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If users determine appropriate clothing attire manually without assistance, then users can choose their own clothing style, but users face inconvenience and loss of time due to lack of information about dress code

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetime for determining attireVSAvoidease of determining appropriate attire

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically analyzes other participants' clothing in video meeting pictures and determines the dress code without user intervention. The server autonomously performs image recognition, garment characteristic extraction, and dress code determination, allowing users to obtain appropriate attire recommendations passively while the system serves itself by processing visual information from the meeting environment.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of the video meeting environment and other participants' attire before the user needs to make a clothing decision. By pre-determining the dress code based on existing visual information, the system eliminates the time users would otherwise spend figuring out appropriate attire, providing ready-made recommendations in advance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If users change attire to match the meeting atmosphere, then communication effectiveness is improved, but users experience inconvenience in changing clothes in the middle of working from home

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication effectivenessVSAvoidease of attending video meeting

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of requiring users to physically change their clothing, the system creates a virtual copy of appropriate attire through image synthesis. The server generates a fitted picture showing how the user would appear wearing garments that match the meeting's dress code, allowing users to virtually try on and preview appropriate attire without leaving their current location or changing physical clothes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a virtual fitting intermediary between the user's current attire and the meeting's dress code requirements. Rather than directly changing clothes, users interact with the virtual fitting application that mediates by generating synthesized images showing appropriate attire options, thus bridging the gap between comfort and professionalism without physical movement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If users lack information about dress code, then users maintain comfort in working from home, but users experience reduced usage of video meeting systems

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveusage of video meeting systemVSAvoidinformation about dress code

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides feedback to users about the appropriate dress code for each video meeting by analyzing the visual environment and other participants' attire. The server generates and returns dress code information and fitted pictures to the user's terminal, creating a feedback loop that informs users about着装 requirements based on real-time or historical meeting data, thereby enabling better-informed clothing decisions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary determination of the dress code by analyzing other participants' clothing and meeting characteristics before presenting options to the user. This advance preparation of dress code information eliminates the need for users to guess or search for attire guidelines, providing ready-made recommendations that increase confidence in video meeting participation.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

A method for virtual fitting based on a video meeting program includes: acquiring a other-participant picture of another user attending a video meeting; acquiring a garment characteristic parameter value specifying the shape of a garment that another user in the acquired other-participant picture wears; determining a clothing category, into which the garment that another user wears is classified, based on the garment characteristic parameter value; determining a dress code for the video meeting based on the clothing category; detecting a candidate fitting garment based on the dress code and the garment characteristic parameter value; determining a virtual fitting garment that is a garment image intended to be virtually put on a user attending the video image based on the candidate fitting garment; creating a virtual fitting picture in which the user in a main-participant picture of the user virtually wears the virtual fitting garment; and providing the virtual fitting picture.
