Solution Overview

Problem

Existing virtual try-on systems only allow customers to try on articles in a single wearing mode, making it difficult to determine if the article is suitable for the person.

Innovation Solution

A virtual try-on system that includes a person image acquisition means, an article reception means, a wearing mode reception means, an article image selection means, and an output means, allowing users to select and try on articles in various wearing modes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a virtual try-on system displays only a single article image in one wearing mode, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the adaptability and information completeness deteriorate making it difficult to determine article suitability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The article images are segmented by wearing modes, with each wearing mode represented as a separate selectable option. The system divides the comprehensive article information into distinct wearing mode segments that can be individually viewed and compared, resolving the contradiction between simple operation and comprehensive information display

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system adds a new dimension of wearing mode selection to the traditional single-view try-on system. By introducing the wearing mode dimension, users can explore multiple wearing styles without increasing operational complexity, as the interface maintains simple navigation while providing rich information across different wearing mode dimensions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a virtual try-on system provides multiple article images for different wearing modes, then adaptability and information completeness are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image display panel serves multiple functions: it displays the person image, overlays article images in different wearing modes, and provides selection interfaces. This multi-functionality allows the system to provide comprehensive wearing mode information without requiring separate dedicated devices for each function, thereby managing complexity while enhancing adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses digital copies of article images representing different wearing modes instead of physical try-on garments. These digital copies can be displayed simultaneously or sequentially on the image display panel, providing multiple wearing mode information without the physical complexity of multiple actual articles

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Loss of information

If a virtual try-on system displays multiple wearing modes simultaneously, then information completeness is improved, but image processing complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Article images for different wearing modes are prepared and stored in advance in the system. This preliminary preparation allows the system to quickly retrieve and display multiple wearing mode images without performing complex real-time transformations, reducing processing complexity while maintaining information completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A virtual try-on system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: acquire a person image of a person performing virtual trying-on; receive designation of an article; receive a selection of a wearing mode for the article; select an article image indicating the selected wearing mode from among a plurality of article images each indicating a different wearing mode for the article; and output, based on the person image and the selected article image, an output image including a wearing image indicating the article when the article is worn by the person in the selected wearing mode.
