Description

Clothing sorting and separation system The present invention relates to a system capable of efficiently sorting clothing products, and in particular, to a system capable of systematically classifying and sorting clothing products based on product groups (e.g., trousers, shirts, jackets, etc.), weaving methods (woven, knit, etc.), raw materials (cotton, wool, linen, etc.), and processing methods (waxing, wrinkle-resistant processing, etc.). As the fashion industry evolves, consumers desire a diverse range of clothing products that allow them to express their individuality and style, leading to a trend toward selecting functional and segmented garments. While in the past, clothing choices were often based simply on product type or basic materials, today's consumers focus on finding products that suit them based on specific product lines, weaving methods, raw materials, and processing techniques. This shift highlights the need for new clothing sorting systems that can help consumers more conveniently find products suited to their living environments, uses, and activity styles. First, clothing product lines are categorized into various types tailored to specific situations or activities, and user preferences differ for each category, such as pants, shirts, jackets, and coats. For instance, someone who enjoys outdoor activities is likely to prefer waterproof jackets or breathable shirts, while an office worker would prefer shirts or pants that do not wrinkle easily. However, existing systems lack sufficient features to allow users to easily and quickly select and compare these diverse product lines. Furthermore, the appearance and fit of a product vary significantly depending on the weaving method. Woven fabrics are sturdy and retain their shape well, making them suitable for suits or outerwear, while knit fabrics offer excellent elasticity, making them suitable for sportswear or casual wear. Existing search systems do not provide sufficient options to select clothing based on these weaving methods, and there are limitations in that it is difficult for users to easily find specific weaving styles. Meanwhile, the raw materials used in clothing are also important factors that determine product performance and comfort. Cotton is soft and comfortable against the skin, making it suitable for everyday wear; wool is widely used for winter clothing due to its excellent thermal insulation; and linen is frequently used in summer due to its breathability. Blended materials combine the advantages of each raw material to provide various functionalities, and there is a wide variety of types, such as cotton-polyester blends and cotton-spandex blends. Existing systems suffer from a problem in that they lack detailed search functions based on raw materials, making it difficult for consumers to easily find clothing based on the raw materials they desire. Finally, various processing methods serve as important factors that enhance the characteristics of clothing. For example, waxing provides water resistance, making it suitable for outdoor activities, while wrinkle-resistant processing is applied to shirts or pants to maintain a neat appearance. Since the functionality of a product varies depending on these processing methods, users seek clothing with specific treatments applied; however, existing systems have limited capabilities for filtering products based on these special processing methods. Consequently, existing clothing search systems have limitations in allowing consumers to select desired clothing by combining various conditions. Furthermore, since they provide only simple category or material-based searches, making personalized searching difficult, there is a need to develop technology that can facilitate this. Hereinafter, each component of the present invention is described in more detail so that a person skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can easily implement it; however, this is merely an example, and the scope of the rights of the present invention is not limited by the following. As used in this invention, "preferably" or "preferably" refers to an embodiment of the invention having a specific advantage under specific conditions. However, other embodiments may also be preferred under the same or different conditions. Furthermore, one or more preferred embodiments do not imply that other embodiments are not useful, nor do they exclude other embodiments within the scope of the invention. The term “comprising” as used herein is used when listing materials, compositions, devices, and methods useful for the present invention, and is not limited to the examples listed. The present invention relates to a system capable of sorting, separating, and storing clothing from piles of various product lines, and is intended for efficient clothing management primarily in the clothing manufacturing, distribution, and laundry industries. The clothing sorting and separation system includes the following series of
