TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a store for displaying sales products by dividing them by undertones, a product display method on a shelf, a product sales method, a product catalog creation method, a product inventory management system, and a product sales system.
[0002]
[Background Art]
It is difficult to select a product that suits oneself from a huge number of products that are worn, such as clothing, shoes, bags, accessories, glasses, sunglasses, wigs, umbrellas, cosmetics, sports goods, and toys.
[0003]
Also, when using multiple products in combination such as clothing, furniture, tableware, etc., it is quite difficult to find products that are in harmony or in harmony with a delicate balance, and that are in harmony with color. It is.
[0004]

[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Here, there is an undertone rule (for example, a rule proposed by Robert Door and Faber Billen) that "all colors are classified into two types, blue base and yellow base, even if there are tens of thousands of colors". Yellow has a yellow base and a blue base, and blue and black are even so. In yellow, mustard yellow is yellow based and lemon yellow is blue based. Black that is dull even in black has a blue base, and dark colors such as black hair have a yellow base (though there are three exceptions: Turkish blue and wine red have a blue base, and orange has only a yellow base).
[0006]
Any combination of colors will not be unnatural if they belong to these two color groups. Conversely, if the same brown color is used, the whole body is unified with the brown color, but if the group to which each color belongs is different, it gives a sense of incongruity.
[0007]
1 and 2 are diagrams for explaining the relationship between Underton and harmony and disharmony.
[0008]
Combining the clothes with the undertones of the colors A and A 'in FIG. 1 makes it easy for anyone to see that the combination is inconsistent and unsuitable. Also, the combination of B and B 'is a subtle disharmony, and it feels like "it just doesn't fit."
[0009]
On the contrary, the combination of C and C 'in FIG. 2 shows that anyone can see that they are in harmony, and can be bought with confidence. The combination of D and D' is subtle but in harmony. It is a combination that is said to be a fashionable person.
[0010]
The color of one person is usually determined by whether the hair, eyes, lips, forehead, cheeks, skin, etc. are blue-based or yellow-based. In other words, humans can determine whether they belong to the yellow base or the blue base, to be in harmony, incongruity, or not.
[0011]
Thus, the combination of blue base and yellow base is an indispensable element in achieving color harmony.
[0012]
By conducting product sales focusing on such undertones of products, the applicant of the present application sells each product so that customers can easily find products that suit themselves, We thought that it would be possible to provide an easy-to-select situation, which would lead to an increase in the store, sales, and further demand for products.
[0013]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a store, a shelf, a tag, a catalog, and a tag for selling a product focusing on an undertone of the product.
[0014]
It is another object of the present invention to provide a product inventory management system for performing inventory management focusing on undertone of a product, and a control program for the system.
[0015]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0057]
The present embodiment described below does not limit the contents of the present invention described in the claims of the utility model in any way.
[0058]
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0059]
1. Features of this embodiment
In the first half of the 20th century, a theory using undertones was established that all colors are divided into two types, blue base and yellow base. This indicates that humans compare the "blueness" and "yellowness" of colors when identifying the harmony of colors. And each human being has his own "blue color" and "yellow color".
[0060]
In other words, if you wear the undertone color that is the same as the undertone that each person has, it will be in harmony.
[0061]
Therefore, if each individual's underbase is known, color harmony can be guaranteed without having to try on. This is a great advantage for consumers when choosing products and may lead to increased consumption.
[0062]
In addition, by collecting information on individual undertones by area, municipalities, prefectures, and regions, it can be used for the ratio of product orders in a marketing manner, and can significantly reduce the risk of carry-over inventory, so-called unsold goods. It is.
[0063]
In addition, with the spread of merchandise transactions by mail order and online in recent years, the purchase of goods without try-on is increasing.
[0064]
The use of this undertone also has great potential for reducing the return of unwanted items.
(1) Since the discovery of Robert Door and Faber Billen, all colors have been divided into two groups: "blue base" and "yellow base." (There are three exceptions) Blue base means "blueish" and "yellow base" means "yellow."
{Circle around (2)} When looking at combinations of two or more colors, humans sometimes feel "harmony" and sometimes feel "disharmony". Scientifically explaining this, humans perceive that two or more color combinations are all composed of the same group of colors, or that they contain at least one or more “different group colors”. They recognize that they are.
{Circle around (3)} Therefore, human beings recognize that they are in harmony in any case if only the colors of the same undertone group are collected.
{Circle around (4)} Humans feel "disharmony" when one or more different groups of colors are combined into two or more colors.
[0065]
A specific example of the present embodiment utilizing the scientific facts (1) to (4) will be described. (Hereinafter, “B” represents “blue base” and “Y” represents “yellow base”)
(1) Consumer marketing
Humans have their own undertones. The undertone of the person is determined by whether the undertone of hair, eyes, white eyes, face skin and the like is "B" or "Y".
[0066]
The undertone determination is determined at the store or ON LINE.
[0067]
For example, the white of "B" and the white of "Y" are displayed on the screen of the ON LINE tablet, and the consumer can easily understand by comparing their own skin, hair, eyes and the like.
(It is the same as the discrimination method using the diamond master tone.)
However, depending on the individual, the hair, eyes, white eyes, and skin may be divided into "B" and "Y", and the face may be "B" but the cheek may be "Y".
[0068]
The undertone of each individual and the determined date and time are recorded, and the consumer is registered as a customer.
[0069]
Then, for example, Mr. A obtains data such as "Y" for hair, "Y" for eyes, "B" for white eyes, "B" forehead, and "Y" for cheeks.
(Also, even the same individual may change slightly due to daily effects such as whitening and sunburn.)
By comparing the registered customer data with the distribution by address and the ratio of “B” to “Y”, “B” and “Y” of the municipalities, prefectures, regions, and countries where the store was opened (or planned to open) were compared. Is required.
[0070]
In addition, by adding the “determined time” to the above data, the data of what area and what is the ratio of “B” to “Y” can be obtained for each season.
[0071]
That is, the instantaneous change of “B” and “Y” due to “place” and “season” can be easily researched.
[0072]
For example, when the ratio of “B” and “Y” in “Spring” of “Minato-ku, Tokyo” is “B” and “Y”, when selling cosmetics, in particular, products of “B” of blusher and “B” What is necessary is to arrange the product of "Y" and at what, and it can be extremely important marketing data.
(2) Product display method
By separating products to be displayed in stores, corners, and shelves from the beginning with an undertone, customers' motivation to purchase can be increased.
[0073]
For example, if a certain customer is “Y”, shopping may be performed only in the “Y” corner. That way, you don't have to worry about failure in coordinating your clothes, for example.
[0074]
In some cases, it is delicate whether the product is “B” or “Y”. In such a case, a tag indicating each product “B” or “Y” may be attached. This not only allows the customer to select a product without fail, but also prevents a clerk from making mistakes when exhibiting.
[0075]
If a very small piece of metal (ideally an identification chip) is attached to this tag, identification can be performed easily and quickly with a detector, without relying only on visual inspection, which is easy to overlook. Can be.
(3) Inventory management system
Based on the consumer marketing, it is also possible to determine in what season what percentage of the product “B” and what percentage of the product “Y” should be ordered.
[0076]
For example, it is possible to predict what percentage of “B” and “Y” of the total number of casual wear fleece orders in Japan in a certain spring year (eg, whether there is little unsold). .
[0077]
Similarly, it is possible to know how much inventory should be placed in which store in which season.
[0078]
For example, in the spring of a certain year, the ratio of "B" and "Y" of casual wear to be placed in a store in "Midori Ward" of "Yokohama" in "Kanagawa Prefecture" in "Kanto region" can be easily obtained. .
(4) Product sales system
For example, at least one of self-diagnosis data and a self-diagnosis questionnaire for self-diagnosing an undertone is provided to a terminal at a store or a customer's home, and at least one of the self-diagnosis data and the self-diagnosis questionnaire is provided. Accordingly, a system may be provided for determining a customer's undertone based on a self-diagnosis result or a questionnaire result returned from the terminal. In this way, the customer can go directly to his or her undertone corner for shopping based on the determined result. This can be expected to save labor for guide staff.
[0079]
An undertone identification specialist or trained employee at a store may identify the customer's undertone, register the customer, and teach the customer's undertone products (or shelves).
[0080]
In addition, for example, in online sales or catalog sales where try-on is not possible, by carrying out sales that clearly show the undertone, the risk of product selection failure can be greatly reduced. For example, in online shopping, product information may be provided for each undertone. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the inconsistency of the combination when selecting a plurality of products. Also, product information having the same undertone as the customer's undertone may be provided. In this way, the customer can select a product that is in harmony with nature.
[0081]
In the case of clothes, for example, a system may be provided in which a photograph of a product is posted on a homepage, and when a customer's face is captured, a try on like a dress-up doll is performed. In this way, there is no fear of "disharmony" between colors, so that it is possible to decide which clothes to buy in a short time with peace of mind.
[0082]
In addition, the confidence in coordinating colors can further motivate customers to purchase and increase sales.
[0083]
FIGS. 18 and 19 are diagrams for explaining the features of the present invention.
[0084]
FIG. 18 is a diagram for describing an example of registration and update of the customer information database and the product information database.
[0085]
The customer information database 910 stores customer data in association with customer identification information. The customer data includes, for example, registration date and time, residence area, town, municipalities, prefectures, regions, hair data (such as undertone), eye data (such as undertone), white eye data (such as undertone), and cheek data. Data (undertone, etc.), lip data (undertone, etc.), face data (undertone, etc.), date of birth (age), gender, sunburn data, body part data, favorite color Data or the like may be registered.
[0086]
Further, the product information database 920 may include product undertone information which is information on whether the undertone of the product is blue-based or yellow-based.
[0087]
Further, the computer 900 may be a computer connected to a network and serving as a server device, or may be a standalone computer, or may be an ordinary personal computer.
[0088]
For example, the computer 900 of the present system provides data for undertone self-diagnosis and a self-diagnosis questionnaire to a customer terminal or a terminal 940 located in a store, and the undertone is yellow-based or blue-based. A self-diagnosis may be performed (a1).

For example, since the undertones of Japanese people are almost fixed, there is a merit that the amount of ordering of goods can be predicted in what percentage of yellow-based products and what percentage of blue, so that unnecessary inventory risk can be reduced. In addition, since the population ratio of yellow and blue differs depending on the region, if the ratio of the two people is determined in advance by marketing, the ratio and quantity of inventory to be placed in each branch can be roughly determined, and furthermore, inventory risk Can be reduced. In other words, undertones of residents and customers may be directly used as data for inventory management.
[0195]
Also, CM can emphasize the importance of yellow and blue by pairing a poster with a yellow-based talent and a blue-based talent as a pair, but how to coordinate with a group color that does not meet the person with the same talent, no matter how beautiful You can also send a message if it doesn't suit you.
[0196]
Also, the method of dividing into subgroups has been described in the above embodiment by taking as an example the case of dividing into four types, but is not limited thereto. For example, it may be divided into six parts depending on the undertone, or may be divided into more parts.
[0197]
The number of methods to be specifically divided may be selected depending on the type and combination of the product group. In addition, the merchandise store may be divided into four or six sections so as to display products. The sales floor may be divided into two corners, four corners, and six corners for each season, and a change in the sales floor may be obtained.
[0198]
In addition, a simulation device that allows a customer to simulate a color combination may be installed in a store to generate an environment in which the customer can create a color combination in an original manner.
[0199]
In addition, a product template and a personal computer camera may be installed on a personal computer that has recently become more sophisticated, so that a customer's face may be captured and various combinations may be selected. By installing blue-based and yellow-based software on each computer, customers can freely simulate new design combinations at stores.
[0200]
Alternatively, the simulation software may be published on a homepage to simulate coordination while at home so that customers who come to the store can complete shopping immediately.
