Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the manufacture of underwear and, more particularly, to a body size measuring device and system for customized underwear production, which create a 3D body shape of the customer using a 3D scanner, select points required for customized underwear production among all the points that make up the 3D body shape, calculate coordinate data values of the selected points, and calculate body size information of the customer more accurately based on the coordinate data values of the respective points.


BACKGROUND

Underwear generally refers to items of clothing such as bras and panties which is worn for the purpose of covering and protecting the genitals.


Underwear is clothing that is in direct contact with the skin, for which comfort and fit should be considered key. However, in the current mass-production situation, underwear is produced only in a select set of sizes according to a limited number of standards, without taking into account individuals' different body shapes at all.


This leaves customers no other option but to pick out an item they think most fit their body shape from a usual collection of underwear that come in fixed sizes, and thus it is hard to expect that the customers will get satisfaction in comfort and fit when they wear it. Moreover, each underwear brand has a different standard for underwear sizes, making the sizes slightly different from other brands, and the customer will find it difficult to choose the right size.


Among underwear, especially bras, which are worn by women, do not come in various sizes. Nowadays, more and more bras are made to push the breasts up and together, with designs focusing on aesthetic appeal, but customers wearing these bras tend to have low satisfaction in comfort and fit.


For example, wearing bras on a daily basis may cause a lot of stress on the woman's body, and this stress can be the cause of symptoms such as indigestion, restricted breathing, impediment to blood flow, and so on and even deform the woman's body. This can happen when women wear the wrong bra size for a long period of time under the current circumstances where there is no customized underwear available in the market.


Men also often feel discomfort from underwear which they wear every day and all day long, because the underwear is not custom-made for individuals no matter what size they find that appears to best fit their body. For example, one may feel discomfort on the waist wearing an L size, while other people wearing this L size may feel loose on the thighs. Or else, in some men, the same L size may be tight on the thighs but loose on the waist, or may feel discomfort only on the buttocks.


Meanwhile, many companies are recently emerging to manufacture underwear in various sizes in order to resolve the customer satisfaction with the current underwear sizing systems. However, given the increase in the cost of manufacturing underwear in various sizes, there has been no significant improvement in customer satisfaction.


In view of this, customized underwear may be manufactured based on each customer's correct body size information which is correctly calculated by three-dimensionally scanning the customer's body, with an anticipation that customer satisfaction will be improved a lot, and that the problem of inventory in mass production will be solved.

Thus, the terms should be defined based on the description throughout the specification.



FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a network of a body size measuring system for customized underwear production.


Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 1, the operation of each element in the customer-customized underwear production system network according to one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in more detail.


First, a user terminal 120 may refer to a wired or wireless terminal of a customer who accesses an underwear manufacturing server 100 connected to a wired/wireless communication network including the Internet to make a request for production of customized underwear.


The user terminal 120 may be, but not limited to, a communication device such as a computer equipped with a web browser or the like, a mobile communication terminal, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and a TV with an Internet access function.


That is, the customer may access a webpage or the like implemented for the sale of customized underwear in the underwear manufacturing server 100 using the user terminal 120. Then, the customer may sign up for the webpage, and input various kinds of order information required for the customized underwear production in an order entry box or the like provided on the webpage to make a request for customized underwear production as they like, for each underwear category such as bras, panties, and the like.


In this case, the customer sets an ID and password to access the underwear manufacturing server in the sign-up process as described above, and when the sign-up is normally performed, information such as the ID and password may be used as authentication information to access the underwear manufacturing server 100.


In this case, the above order information may be underwear category information, purchase number information, target underwear information, customer gender information, customer age information, and the like for the customized underwear requested for production.


In addition, the customer may access the webpage of the underwear manufacturing server 100 through the user terminal 120, select a desired category of underwear, such as a bra or panty, select a desired design in that category, and make a request for customized underwear production according to body size information based on a 3D body shape of his/her body registered on the underwear manufacturing server 100. In this case, the body size information of customers registered in advance in the underwear manufacturing server 100 is measured in advance by each customer in a body size measuring device 110 installed in department stores, swimming pools, various shopping malls, government offices, and the like according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, and the body size information of each customer measured by the body size measuring device 110 may be transmitted to and registered on the underwear manufacturing server 100 connected through a wired/wireless communication network, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Further, the body size measuring device 110 as described above is not limited to a type placed at fixed place, but may be a type mounted on a moving object such as a vehicle of a company that operates the underwear manufacturing server 100 to enable measurement at a place where a customer is located.


According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the underwear manufacturing server 100 may refer to a server that is connected to the user terminal 120 and the body size measuring device 110 through a wired/wireless communication network such as the Internet to provide a customized underwear production service.


First, the underwear manufacturing server 100 may be connected to the body size measuring device 110 and a wired/wireless communication network, and for a customer registered as a member in the underwear manufacturing server 100, may register and manage the body size information of the customer measured by the body size measuring device 110.


In this case, in association with the body size measuring device 110, the underwear manufacturing server 100 may receive authentication information such as an ID and a password input by the customer from the body size measuring device 110 to check whether the customer is a customer registered as a member in the underwear manufacturing server 100. Accordingly, when the corresponding customer is normally authenticated, the body size measuring device 110 normally measures body size information for the customer, and the underwear manufacturing server 100 registers the customer's body size information transmitted from the body size measuring device 100 in association with the customer's member information so that when the customer requests the production of customized underwear, it will be possible to produce customized underwear for the customer's body shape based on the body size information registered for the customer.


The body size measuring device 110 may be connected to the underwear manufacturing server 100 through a wired/wireless communication network including the Internet.


The body size measuring device 110 may scan a body of a customer who wants to purchase customized underwear through a 3D scanner or the like to create a 3D body shape, select a preset number of points necessary to design underwear that fits the body shape of the customer, and calculate the customer's body size information required for the production of the underwear that fits the customer's body shape based on coordinate data values of the respective selected points and the like.



FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate a 3D body shape of a customer created in the body size measuring device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.


That is, although each customer has a different body shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the prior art, regardless of the difference in the customer's body shape, underwear such as bra or panty has been produced using only basic information such as bust size, cup size, waist size, and hip size based on a specific model manufactured similarly to a human shape such as a mannequin, and the like, which results in low customer satisfaction.


Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the body size measuring device 110 for measuring a customer's 3D body shape is implemented, and in the body size measuring device 110, the body shape of the customer is accurately created as a 3D body shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 through a 3D scanner or the like to calculate each customer's body size information based on the 3D body shape.


That is, the customer's body size information calculated by the body size measuring device 110 is calculated based on the customer's 3D body shape, and such body size information enables a 3D design of the customer's body, which makes it possible to produce customized underwear that fits the body shape of each customer.


In addition, in calculating the customer's body size information, the body size measuring device 110 selects a preset number of points necessary to design underwear for the customer's body shape among all points making up the customer's 3D body shape obtained through a 3D scan.


Subsequently, the body size measuring device 110 calculates a coordinate data value for each of the selected points on the customer's 3D body shape, calculates a plurality of body element information for customized underwear production based on the calculated coordinate data values, and then calculates the calculated body element information as the customer's body size information. In this case, the point may refer to each pixel making up the customer's 3D body shape, but is not limited thereto.


In addition, the operation of calculating the body size information described above will now be described in more detail. The body size measuring device 110 first extracts first area points making up a 3D shape of a preset first area including a customer's breast from all points making up the 3D body shape, and generates first group points by selecting a plurality of points necessary for designing first underwear suitable for the 3D shape of the first area from among the first area points.


Next, the body size measuring device 110 extracts second area points making up a 3D shape of a preset second area including a customer's crotch from all points, and generates second group points by selecting a plurality of points necessary for designing second underwear suitable for the 3D shape of the second area.

In addition, the body size measuring device 110 may transmit the body size information measured for each customer to the underwear manufacturing server 100 as described above, so that the body size information of each customer is registered in the underwear manufacturing server 100. In this case, for example, the customer needs to register as a member in the underwear manufacturing server 100 before measuring his or her body size information in the body size measuring device 110 and may perform body size measurement after performing member authentication by inputting authentication information such as ID and password issued from the underwear manufacturing server 100.


Then, the body size measuring device 110 requests the customer who wants to measure the body size to input the ID and password registered in the underwear manufacturing server 100, confirms whether the customer is a legitimate member in association with the underwear manufacturing server 100 when the ID and password are input by the customer as authentication information, and generates body size information for the customer to send it to the underwear manufacturing server 100 if the customer is a legitimate member registered in the underwear manufacturing server 100.


At this time, the customer's body size information measured by the body size measuring device 110 is very personal information measured while the customer takes off clothes which requires security, it is preferable to be transmitted to the underwear manufacturing server 100 through encryption, and in the case of a 3D scanner for creating a body shape of a customer, it is preferable to be implemented to selectively scan only the part where the underwear would be worn.


In addition, the body size measuring device 110 may include, for example, a housing 720 implemented in the form of a public telephone booth as shown in FIG. 5 showing a cross-sectional view of a body size measuring device housing 600. In the interior of the housing 720, inner spaces 700 and 710 where a person can enter and stand may be implemented, and the inner spaces may include a space for taking off and storing clothes and a space for performing a 3D scan, and the like.


In other words, the inner spaces 700 and 710 may include a first space 700 in which the customer takes off clothes, and a second space 710 in which a 3D scan of the customer's body is performed, the second space 710 being separated from the first space 700 through a space separation member.


In a central portion in the second space 710, a foot plate 655 on which a customer stands to perform a 3D scan may be located, and a pressure sensor (not shown) for sensing whether the customer is positioned on the foot plate 655 and a 3D scanner 650 for 3D scanning of the customer's body may be provided.


In this case, the 3D scanner 650 may be implemented to 3D scan the customer's body only when it is confirmed that the customer is positioned on the foot plate 655 through the pressure sensor, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.


In addition, it is desirable to install the body size measuring device 110 at an arbitrary location of places with large floating populations such as department stores, shopping malls, swimming pools, various sports centers and public offices so that a customer who wants to obtain body size information based on a 3D body shape may easily access it. Further, the body size measuring device 110 as described above is not limited to a fixed place, but is mounted on a moving object such as a vehicle by a company that operates the underwear manufacturing server 100 to enable measurement at a location where a customer is located.



FIG. 6 illustrates a detailed block diagram of the body size measuring device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.


Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 6, the operation of each component of the body size measuring device for customized underwear production will be described in more detail.


First, the housing 600 is a space in which a 3D scan of a customer's body is performed in the body size measuring device 110, and may be implemented in the form of a public telephone booth as shown in FIG. 5, and Inner spaces 710 and 720 in which a person enters and stands may exist in the housing 720, and the inner space may include a space for taking off and storing clothes and a space for performing 3D scanning.


A communication unit 610 is connected to the underwear manufacturing server 100 that manages authentication information registered as a member of a customer through a wired/wireless communication network to transmit and receive data.


A key input unit 620 may include a plurality of function keys for performing various operations of the body size measuring device 110. When the key input unit 620 receives a key input such as authentication information for member authentication or 3D scan start request information from a customer for unique operation of the body size measuring device 110, key data according to the key input may be generated to be provided a customer authentication unit 640 or a 3D scan unit 650. The key input unit 620 may be implemented in a touch screen method, but is not limited thereto.


In addition, the key input unit 620 may further include a biometric information input unit through which biometric information of a customer can be input. The biometric information input unit may input biometric information of a customer such as a fingerprint, iris, or the like, and the biometric information input unit may be activated to receive biometric information from the customer during a 3D scan operation on the customer's body. The biometric information input unit provides biometric information to a body size calculation unit 675 when biometric information is input from the customer.


A display unit 630 displays various operation state information of the body size measuring device 110 according to a key input through the key input unit 620.


When a customer who enters the housing 600 of the body size measuring device 110 inputs a key input for requesting body size measurement using the key input unit 620 or the like, the customer authentication unit 640 accesses the underwear manufacturing server 100 through the communication unit 610 to authenticate whether the customer is a registered member through interworking with the underwear manufacturing server 100.


In other words, when there is a request for body size measurement from a customer, the customer authentication unit 640 receives authentication information from the customer through the key input unit 620, and transmits the input authentication information to the underwear manufacturing server 100 through the communication unit 610 to send a request for verification information about whether the customer is a registered customer. Then, when the customer authentication unit 640 receives an authentication information confirmation response indicating that the customer is a registered customer through authentication information from the underwear manufacturing server 100, the customer authentication unit 640 authenticates the customer as a registered customer. In this case, the authentication information may be a member ID and password set when a customer signs up in the underwear manufacturing server 100.


In addition, in the process of authenticating the registered customer, in order to increase security, the customer authentication unit 640 requests the customer, who is authenticated as a customer registered as a member through authentication information such as a member ID and password, to input biometric information (fingerprint, iris information, etc.) through the biometric information input unit (not shown) implemented on the input unit 620 before a 3D scan operation, and then transmit the customer's body size information to the underwear manufacturing server 100. Then, the underwear manufacturing server 100 stores the customer's body size information in association with the customer's biometric information, and requests a customer to input the biometric information along with the authentication information in the process of the customer requesting to check his or her body size information. The underwear manufacturing server 100 provides body size information only when biometric information also matches, which prevents exposure of the body size information of the customer that is very personal information to others even if authentication information such as the customer's ID and password are later exposed by malicious attacks.


The 3D scan unit 650 is installed in the second space 710 inside the housing 600, and in the case that there is a key input for requesting body size measurement from the customer through the key input unit 620 in a state in which the customer is authenticated as a registered customer, the 3D scan unit 650 performs a 3D scan on the customer's body to create a 3D body shape of the customer.


The body size calculation unit 675 selects a preset number of points required to design underwear suitable for the customer's body shape among all points making up the 3D body shape, and calculates body size information of the customer for customized underwear production based on the data value of each selected point.


That is, the body size calculation unit 675 selects a preset number of points required to design underwear suitable for the customer's body shape from all points making up the 3D body shape, and calculates a coordinate data value indicating a position on the customer's 3D body shape for each selected point. Subsequently, the body size calculation unit 675 may calculate a plurality of body element information for customized underwear production based on the calculated coordinate data value, and then calculate the plurality of body element information as body size information of the customer.


In addition, when the customer's body size information is calculated as described above, the body size calculation unit 675 transmits the customer's body size information and the customer's authentication information to the underwear manufacturing server 100 so that the 3D body shape-based body size information calculated for the authenticated customer can be registered in the underwear manufacturing server 100. Then, the underwear manufacturing server 100 manages the customer's body size information as body size information for the customer corresponding to the authentication information.


In addition, when the customer's body size information is calculated, the body size calculation unit 675 may transmit the customer's body size information, the authentication information, and the biometric information to the underwear manufacturing server 100.


Then, the underwear manufacturing server 100 stores the customer's biometric information and the customer's body size information in association with each other, and then, when there is a request for body size information from the customer, the underwear manufacturing server 100 requests the transmission of the biometric information together with the authentication information and provides the body size information of the corresponding customer measured by the body size measuring device 110 to the user terminal 120 of the customer in the case that both the authentication information and the biometric information match.


Specifically, the body size calculation unit 675 may include a first group point generating unit 660, a second group point generating unit 670, a body size generating unit 680, and the like.


The first group point generating unit 660 extracts first area points making up a 3D body shape of a preset first area including a customer's bust from all points making up a 3D body shape of the customer. Subsequently, the first group point generating unit 660 generates first group points by selecting a plurality of points necessary for designing a first underwear suitable for the 3D body shape of the first area among the first area points. In this case, the first underwear may be, for example, a “bra” worn by a woman on a bust, but is not limited thereto.
