In order to make the embodiments of the disclosure apparent, the drawings related to the embodiments of the disclosure will be described briefly. Apparently, the described embodiments are just a part of the embodiments of the disclosure. For those skilled in the art, he or she can obtain other figure(s) according to these figures, without any inventive work.
Clear and complete description will be given below to the technical proposals in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only partial embodiments of the present disclosure and not all the embodiments.
The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a virtual fitting system. As illustrated in
The virtual fitting system provided by the embodiment provides sample garment prototypes for users (hereafter referred to as dressers) to select and try on, but the sample garment prototype is a virtual garment model, and the fitting is also virtual fitting, namely the scene of the dresser trying on the sample garment prototype will appear in the virtual fitting mirror when the dresser stands on front of the virtual fitting mirror. By virtual fitting, the dresser selects the sample garment prototype which is substantially satisfied by the dresser. If the dresser is not satisfied with the details of the sample garment prototype such as the collar type or pattern, the dresser may directly adopt the modification unit to modify the sample garment prototype which is tried on and generate the sample garment satisfying the requirements of the dresser, so that personalized customization can be achieved.
The virtual fitting mirror in the embodiment has display function and can virtualize the scene of the dresser trying on the sample garment prototype or the sample garment. No limitation will be given to the specific principles and structures.
As illustrated in
As for the dresser, the display 11 in the embodiment is a visual part of the virtual fitting mirror and has the function of a common fitting mirror, but the usual dressing and undressing actions are not required. Optionally, the display 11 taken as the virtual fitting mirror may be a large-size (more than 55 inches) mirror display or an electronic whiteboard. In addition, optionally, a wardrobe may also be virtualized and used for providing the sample garment prototypes. In the absence of users, the virtual fitting system is in standby mode. When the user enters into a functional area on front of the virtual fitting mirror, the system prompts the user to select a favorite garment in the virtual wardrobe, and then the user can observe the virtual fitting effect on the virtual fitting mirror. Garments (e.g., the sample garment prototypes) in the virtual wardrobe may be respectively displayed according to gender, style and the like, so that rapid search and selection can be achieved. The dresser may also wear accessories. In addition, the size of the virtual garment put on by the dresser will automatically reveal different effects along with the figure of the dresser, which is just like the effect obtained when the dresser tries on actually. The virtual fitting system provided by the embodiment can save the trouble of dressing and undressing in the traditional fitting process, and save a lot of time, manpower and garment resources.
Optionally, the display 11 is a touch panel. e.g., a 40 inch or 65 inch HD (High Definition) touch panel. The display 11 is also configured to receive a modification instruction of the dresser on the sample garment prototype or the sample garment which is tried on. The dresser may directly select the sample garment prototype through the display 11, and input the modification instruction on the sample garment prototype or the sample garment which is tried on through the modification unit 200.
As shown in
Optionally, the modification unit 200 includes: an independent modification module 210 and a designer modification module 220. The dresser accesses a garment database 21 through the independent modification module, independently modifies a selected sample garment prototype within restricted permissions, and generates a sample garment satisfying the requirements of the dresser. The costume designer accesses the garment database 21 through the designer modification module, modifies a sample garment prototype selected by the dresser according to the requirements of the dresser, and generates a sample garment satisfying the requirements of the dresser. The dresser and the costume designer have different permissions on the modification of the sample garment prototype and also have different permissions on the access of the garment database. Moreover, the access and modification permissions of the costume designer may also be more finely classified and may also be set according to specific application conditions. No further description will be given here.
According to one example of the present disclosure, the garment database 21 includes: a sample garment prototype stock used for providing the sample garment prototypes for the users. The sample garment prototype includes clothing attributes. The clothing attributes are used for describing the sample garment prototype, for instance, may include style, material, collar type, sleeve type, hem type, pattern, decorative lace, etc. The sample garment prototype stock is used for providing the sample garment prototypes for the users and provides technical basis for modification.
The garment database 21 also includes: clothing attribute stocks relevant to the sample garment prototype stock. The clothing attribute stocks include a style stock, a material stock, a collar stock, a sleeve stock, a hem stock, a pattern stock, a lace stock and an accessory stock. The clothing attribute stocks provide selections for the user to modify the sample garment prototype, so that the modification can be simple and convenient. Each sample garment prototype in the sample garment prototype stock is relevant to the clothing attribute stocks via the clothing attributes. The modification unit 200 achieves the following functions by access to the sample garment prototype stock and the clothing attribute stocks: illustratively, if the dresser is not satisfied with the collar of a garment which is tried on, the dresser may click the collar and input a collar modification instruction, and the collar of the garment will automatically disappear; meanwhile, the background calls the clothing attribute stock of the sample garment prototype which is tried on in view of this, and a plurality of other collars appear for selection; and after the user selects, the size of the collar of the garment is automatically adjusted, so that the collar can be in accordance with the current garment and displayed.
Optionally, the virtual fitting system further comprises: a sample garment stock 400 configured to store sample garments which are generated by the modification of the users. For instance, the sample garment stock is also relevant to the clothing attribute stocks, so that twice or more modifications of the sample garment can be achieved.
Optionally, the virtual fitting system may further comprise: a modeling unit 500 configured to generate the sample garment prototype. Users having permissions, e.g., the costume designers, may generate or import sample garment models designed by themselves.
Optionally, the virtual fitting system may further comprise: an ordering unit 600 configured to generate an order including the attributes of the sample garment prototype or the sample garment which is tried on if the dresser is satisfied with the sample garment prototype or the sample garment which is tried on. The virtual fitting system provided by the embodiment includes a part for interactive communication between the dresser and the costume designer. Thus, the dresser may modify a certain attribute of the garment according to own thoughts in the fitting process, and communicate with the costume designer; the costume designer may modify the garment model according to the thoughts of the dresser; after the dresser is satisfied with the fitting effect, the dresser places an order with a garment factory through the ordering unit; and the garment factory makes the garment satisfying the requirements of the dresser according to drawings provided by the costume designer or the dresser, and mails the garment to the address listed by the dresser.
In the virtual fitting system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the dresser not only can select the suitable garment by virtual fitting but also can modify a certain detail of the garment according to own thoughts and communicate with the costume designer; the costume designer modifies the garment model according to the thoughts of the dresser; after the dresser is satisfied with the fitting effect, the garment factory makes the garment satisfying the requirements of the dresser according to the drawings provided by the costume designer; and hence the personalized customization of clothes can be achieved.
In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a remote virtual fitting method, which comprises: allowing a dresser to try on clothes on front of a virtual fitting mirror and select a favorite sample garment prototype; and contacting a costume designer to modify or independently modifying until the dresser is satisfied with the fitting effect, if the dresser is not satisfied with the details of the sample garment prototype which is selected and tried on currently. The dresser may be interactive and communicated with the costume designer, so that the personalized customization of clothes can be achieved.
If the dresser is satisfied with the sample garment prototype or the sample garment which is selected and tried on currently, an order including the attributes of the sample garment prototype or the sample garment which is tried on is generated. If the dresser is substantially satisfied with the sample garment prototype or the sample garment which is selected and tried on currently and is only unsatisfied with some details, the dresser contacts the costume designer to modify or independently modifies until the dresser is satisfied with the fitting effect.
Optionally, if the costume designer is not online or the dresser selects independent modification, the dresser modifies the attributes of the sample garment prototype which is selected and tried on currently within restricted permissions, until the dresser is satisfied with the fitting effect; and if the costume designer is online and the dresser does not select independent modification, the dresser directly provides requirements to the costume designer by online communication, and the costume designer modifies the attributes of the sample garment prototype which is tried on currently, until the dresser is satisfied with the fitting effect.
In the virtual fitting method provided by the present disclosure, the dresser tries on the sample garment prototype provided by the virtual fitting mirror fitting system at first; and if the dresser is only unsatisfied with some details of the sample garment prototype which is selected and tried on currently, the dresser contacts the costume designer to modify or independently modifies through the modification unit, until the dresser is satisfied with the fitting effect, so that the personalized customization of clothes can be achieved. Therefore, the dresser may modify a certain attribute of the garment according to own thoughts in the fitting process, and communicate with the costume designer; the costume designer modifies the garment model according to the thoughts of the dresser; and after the dresser is satisfied with the fitting effect, the garment factory makes the garment satisfying the requirements of the dresser according to drawings provided by the costume designer.
For more clear understanding of the virtual fitting system and method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, detailed description will be given below to the technical proposals of the present disclosure with reference to the preferred embodiments.
The client computer 10 is connected with a costume designer terminal 30 (namely a design computer of a costume designer) via Internet. When the dresser modifies the garment on the touch panel 111, modified data are processed by the client computer, and the data are transmitted to the costume designer terminal 30 in real time via Internet. The other means is that the functions of the HD camera 121 and a microphone 700 are combined, and acquired image information and microphone information are processed by the client computer, so that real-time communication with the costume designer, namely video call, can be achieved.
(1) If the costume designer is not online, the dresser may independently modify wanted style on the virtual fitting mirror; after storage, the virtual fitting system transmits a garment to be modified to the costume designer; the garment is modified by the costume designer according to requirements and subsequently transmitted to the dresser via the network of the virtual fitting mirror; the dresser tries on the garment on the virtual fitting mirror; if satisfied, the dresser sends the garment to the garment factory for production; and the garment is produced and mailed to the address listed by the dresser.
(2) If the costume designer is online, real-time communication can be achieved.
One means is that real-time video communication with the costume designer is achieved via Internet; the costume designer modifies the garment model according to oral requirements of the dresser, sends the garment model to the dresser for fitting after the garment model is modified, until the dresser is satisfied with the fitting effect, and subsequently, send the final draft to the garment factory for production; and the produced garment is mailed to the address listed by the dresser.
Another means is that the dresser independently modifies the clothing attributes on the virtual fitting mirror; the modified garment is displayed on a computer of the costume designer in real time via Internet; the costume designer generates a garment model according to the modified garment, sends the garment model to the dresser for fitting in real time, until the dresser is satisfied with the fitting effect, and finally, send the garment model to the garment factory for production; and the produced garment is mailed to the address listed by the dresser.
The costume designer creates a garment database 21 simultaneously when designing clothes, and the garment database 21 may be disposed on a cloud server 20 and may also disposed on the costume designer terminal 30. The garment database 21 includes clothing attribute stocks, a modifiable garment stock and an unmodified garment stock. The clothing attribute stock includes a collar stock, a sleeve stock, a hem stock, a style stock and a pattern stock. The modifiable garment stock is divided into a partial modification stock and a full modification stock. Clothes in the unmodified stock are fixed and cannot be modified unless the designer is online.
When the costume designer is online, real-time communication may be achieved. The dresser directly provides own requirements to the designer by video and large-data real-time transmission; the designer modifies the clothing attributes; and the garment is transmitted in real time to the dresser for fitting. The dresser may also independently modify the clothing attributes on the fitting mirror and transmit the modified information to the costume designer by large-data real-time transmission; and the costume designer modifies the clothing attributes onto a sample garment, and provides the sample garment for the dresser to try on.
When the costume designer is not online, the dresser may modify a garment in the garment stock, and simultaneously, the clothing attribute stocks for the access of the dresser are opened. The dresser opens an access account and accesses the clothing attribute stocks of the costume designer via Internet. The clothing attribute stocks can only be modified and updated by the costume designer. As for the dresser, only the call function can be accessed, and the modification of the garment by the dresser has no impact on the initial sample garment prototype.
When the dresser needs to modify the clothing attributes in the modifiable garment stock, the following methods may also be adopted: firstly, creating a partial modification stock. As for the clothes in the stock, only one attribute or several attributes can be modified, but the clothes are unchanged on the whole. If the client wants to observe the fitting effect of the clothes in real time, the designer needs to create a user stock in the process of designing clothes. The stock includes modifiable attributes of each garment, and the modifiable attribute of the garment is an independent, individual, replaceable attribute. When the user modifies the garment, the attributes in the user stock are called: (1) in the process of modifying the collar, if a round collar must be modified into other collars, when the collar stock is selected, the collar of the garment must automatically disappear, and other collars such as V collar in the clothing attribute stock of the costume designer are called; and the size of the garment collar is automatically adjusted, so that the collar can be in accordance with the current garment; (2) in the process of modifying sleeves of the garment, e.g., converting long sleeve into short sleeve, rolling up the long sleeve a little, converting long sleeve into sleeveless state, converting into flounce sleeve, or converting into bubble sleeve, the sleeve stock is clicked; the garment sleeve automatically disappears; and suitable sleeve is found out and matches with the current garment into a whole; (3) in the process of modifying the hem of the garment, the hem stock is clicked; the hem automatically disappears; modifiable hems in the user stock are called one by one for fitting and comparison; and a suitable hem is selected; and (4) in the process of modifying the pattern on the garment, the designer may recommend several patterns with innovative design in the user stock, and the user may also independently design by giving free rein to his or her imagination. In addition, in the process of modifying the garment, all the modifiable attributes have no color, and the color may be adjusted by the users. Other exposed parts of the garment in the modifying process may be wiped off, and the modified garment is sent to the costume designer by Save As command after modification.
Secondly, creating a full modification stock. The garment in the stock has no specific form; only the frame of the garment is provided, but the style of the garment may be adjusted; and the garment types such as H type, A type, T type, V type, X type and O type may be stored in the user stock. Various attributes in the clothing attribute stocks are called for type matching, and the color, the size and the like of the clothing attributes are modified to finally match the wanted garment type. It should be noted that the clothing attributes in the partial modification stock may be shared in the full modification stock.
The virtual fitting system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure further comprises a modification unit 200 configured to respond to the requirements of the user, achieve the modification of the dresser on the sample garment prototype which is tried on, and generate the sample garment satisfying the requirements of the dresser. The modification unit includes: an independent modification module 210 and a designer modification module 220. The independent modification module is adopted by the dresser to access a garment database, independently modify a selected sample garment prototype within restricted permissions, and generate a sample garment satisfying the requirement of the dresser. The designer modification module is adopted by the costume designer to access the garment database, modify a sample garment prototype selected by the dresser, and generate a sample garment satisfying the requirement of the dresser. The modification unit and the independent modification module and the designer modification module in the modification unit may be implemented by software, are disposed on the cloud server together with the garment database, and of course, may be installed on the client computer and the costume designer terminal by program download or other means. No limitation will be given in the embodiment.
In the virtual fitting system and method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the dresser may modify a certain attribute of the garment according to own thoughts in the fitting process, and communicate with the costume designer; the costume designer modifies the garment model according to the thoughts of the dresser; and after the dresser is satisfied with the fitting effect, the garment factory makes the garment satisfying the requirements of the dresser according to drawings provided by the costume designer.
