Abstract

The present invention relates to a clothing fitting system and a VR clothing fitting method that accurately measures a user's body data and implements a 3D simulation based thereon to provide a realistic virtual fitting experience to consumers. The system comprises a user terminal that transmits and receives data via a network, a smart mirror that measures a user's body measurement data and transmits the measurement information to the user terminal, a VR device that generates a personalized virtual model based on the user's body measurement data transmitted from the smart mirror and transmits the model information to the user terminal, a management module that manages the measurement information and the model information transmitted from the user terminal via the network, and a database unit connected to the management server to store and manage the measurement information and the model information. By providing this configuration, the inconvenience of visiting an offline store in person or purchasing online and then exchanging or returning items can be reduced, and clothing that fits the user's body type and preferences can be recommended, thereby increasing the convenience of the purchasing process.

Description

VR Clothing Fitting System and VR Clothing Fitting Method The present invention relates to a clothing fitting system and a VR clothing fitting method using a VR device, and more specifically, to a clothing fitting system and a VR clothing fitting method that accurately measures a user's body data and implements a 3D simulation based thereon to provide a realistic virtual fitting experience to consumers. The global fashion market is steadily growing in both online and offline directions, and among them, the e-commerce market, which operates online using computer communication or the internet, grew rapidly during the pandemic. However, unlike the offline market, the online market presents the inconvenience of consumers having to exchange or return clothes if they are dissatisfied, as they cannot try them on in person before purchasing. As a result, "showrooming"—browsing products in physical stores but purchasing them online at lower prices—has evolved into a new consumption trend. This is also why it is difficult to determine if the size fits well or how the item looks when purchasing online, as one cannot try the clothes on in person. Therefore, recently, a clothing purchase support service using augmented reality and virtual reality has been developed to resolve this inconvenience. Specific details regarding this technology are disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 below. However, in the case of the clothing purchase support services disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 below, there is still a lack of accurate measurement of the user's posture and body shape, resulting in consumer dissatisfaction due to size or fit and cumbersome returns. Furthermore, this problem causes economic losses for both e-commerce companies and consumers, and also presents negative environmental issues. FIG. 1 is a drawing showing the overall configuration of the VR clothing fitting system of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the management server illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the database section illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating the VR clothing fitting process according to the present invention. The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the description in this specification and the accompanying drawings. Meanwhile, in the description of the invention, when it is stated that a certain part "includes" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components. The terms “part,” “module,” or “part” as used herein perform at least one function or operation and may be implemented as hardware or software consisting of mechanical or electrical/electronic configurations, or as a combination of hardware and software; and a plurality of “parts,” “modules,” or a plurality of “parts” may be integrated into at least one module and implemented by at least one processor, except for the “parts,” “modules,” or “parts” that need to be implemented in specific hardware. The term "clothing" as used herein includes all products wearable on the human body, and includes, but is not limited to, masks, hats, tops, bottoms, outerwear such as jumpers and coats, underwear, gloves, shoes, socks, bags, belts, scarves, ties, mufflers, and other accessories and ornaments. Furthermore, such clothing includes all clothing items made of various materials and forms that can be used for functional and/or decorative purposes. First, the overall configuration of a VR clothing fitting system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. Figure 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the VR clothing fitting system of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the VR clothing fitting system according to the present invention may include a user terminal (100) that transmits and receives data through a network (10), a smart mirror (200) that measures the user's body measurement data and transmits the measurement information to the user terminal (100), a VR device (300) that creates a personalized virtual model based on the user's body measurement data transmitted from the smart mirror (200) and transmits the model information to the user terminal (100), a management module (400) that manages the measurement information and the model information transmitted from the user terminal (100) through the network (10), and a database unit (500) connected to the management server (400) to store and manage the measurement information and the model information.
