Information Processing for Wearing-Article Comfort-Window Estimation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies fail to provide information on the time period during which wearing articles can be comfortably worn by the wearer, focusing solely on the limit date when the wearer's body size exceeds the allowable range of the clothing.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that estimates a time period during which a wearer can wear a wearing article with a predetermined comfort level by generating variation information based on wearing article and wearer information, and provides this information to a designated destination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If only the limit date when body size exceeds allowable range is determined, then the calculation is simple, but the information on comfortable wearing period cannot be provided
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by determining both the start date (when the wearing article becomes comfortable to wear) and the limit date (when it stops being comfortable) in advance. This allows the comfortable wearing period to be calculated beforehand using growth pattern data and body size measurements, rather than only calculating the limit date when the body exceeds the allowable range.
2Measurement precision
If only body size measurements are used, then the determination is straightforward, but the comfortable wearing period cannot be accurately identified
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes parameters by introducing comfort level as an additional parameter beyond body size measurements. It determines the comfortable wearing period by calculating when the body size falls within the allowable range plus/minus the comfort level, thereby identifying both the start date and limit date for comfortable wearing based on multiple parameters including body size, allowable range, and comfort level.
3Loss of time
If the system only provides limit date information, then the data processing is simple, but the wearer cannot know when to replace the wearing article
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by calculating and providing both the start date and limit date of the comfortable wearing period in advance. This enables the wearer to know the complete time period during which the wearing article can be comfortably worn, allowing them to plan and make replacement decisions at the appropriate time without needing to continuously monitor body size changes.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus (10) includes an estimation section (44) that estimates a time period during which a wearer (W1) can wear a wearing article (for example, shoes) with a predetermined comfort level or higher based on variation information indicating variation in the comfort level of the wearing article for the wearer (W1) over time, and a provision section (45) that provides information corresponding to the time period estimated by the estimation section (44) to a predetermined destination.
