Accordingly, competition among online shopping malls is becoming more fierce, and users may have wider options for products. In such online shopping malls, some sites sell only one type or only a few kinds of products, and some sites sell a myriad of kinds of products. In addition, while some online shopping malls sell products that are sold in other online shopping malls, there are also online shopping malls that sell products that are not sold in other online shopping malls.

Thanks to these advantages, many Internet shopping malls are being created, but on the other hand, competition among Internet shopping malls intensifies, and Internet shopping malls with weak competitiveness have been eliminated and disappeared.

In the online shopping mall environment that has been diversified in many ways, the products of interest to be purchased may be scattered in different online shopping malls, and the desire of the buyer to comprehensively manage such products of interest is emerging. There is no service provided to satisfy the need for integrated management of the company.

Currently, most online shopping malls simply select a clothing list online and take a very simple system to deliver the selected clothing to customers, so there is a problem that it cannot provide clothing coordination.

For example, even if consumers want to purchase shopping mall clothing that matches their own clothing, it is difficult for ordinary consumers to select and purchase clothing that matches their own clothing at a shopping mall because there is no professional coordinator like celebrities. It is reality.

It is a figure showing the display screen for the list of coordinated combination images according to the following.

The customized clothing coordination and purchase method of the present invention includes a user clothing image uploading process (S210) in which a user clothing image, which is an image of clothing owned by the user, is selected from the user and uploaded and stored, as shown in FIG. A coordinating clothing selection process (S220) in which a user selects coordinating clothing to be used for coordination, a coordinating combination image display process (S230) in which the selected coordinating clothing image is combined with the user's clothing image (S230), and coordination combination It may include a purchase payment process (S240) in which a user purchase payment is made by providing a purchase order window for coordinated clothing coordinated through the image display process (S230). It will be described in detail below.

The user clothing image upload process (S210) is a process in which the online shopping mall server 300 selects, uploads, and stores a user clothing image, which is an image of clothing owned by the user. For reference, the uploaded and stored user clothing image is stored in a storage body of the online shopping mall server 300, and such storage bodies include a hard disk drive, a solid state drive, and a flash memory ( Flash Memory), CF Card (Compact Flash Card), SD Card (Secure Digital Card), SM Card (Smart Media Card), MMC Card (Multi-Media Card) or Memory Stick, etc. As an example, it may be provided inside the device, or may be provided in a separate device.

The user clothing image upload process (S210) may include a user clothing original image selection process (S211) and a user clothing image extraction process (S212 ).

In the process of selecting the original user clothing image (S211), the online shopping mall server 300 is a process in which the photographed image of the clothing owned by the user (referred to as “original user clothing image”) is uploaded. That is, if a user photographs clothes he owns and stores them in his user terminal 200, as shown in FIG. 3, the user selects a user clothes image to be used for coordination among user clothes stored in the user terminal 200 as shown in FIG. It is uploading as the original image of the clothing.

The user clothing image extraction process (S212) is a process of extracting only the clothing object image excluding the background portion from the original user clothing image and storing it as a user clothing image. That is, the uploaded original clothing image of the user, as shown in FIG. 4, exists not only with the clothing image but also with a background image. When coordinating the user's own clothes with various clothes, the background portion of the clothes uploaded by the user exists. If so, it is because it has an unnecessary effect on the display of coordinated clothing. Accordingly, the background is deleted as shown in FIG. 5 through the user's clothing image extraction, and only the clothing object image is extracted and stored as the user's clothing image.

To this end, the user clothing image extraction process (S212) includes a process in which the online shopping mall server 300 groups colors by regions having colors within a preset similar range from the uploaded original user clothing image, and a background region to be removed from the user. The process of selecting a point of the user, the process of extracting an image of a color group having the same color as the user-selected point and displaying it to be distinguished from other areas, and the process of displaying an image of the extracted color group when a user requests removal. It has a process of removing it and storing it as an image of the user's clothing.

Therefore, when explaining one example of the user clothing image extraction process (S212) having the routine presented above, the process in which the background is removed is [user] -> [image file upload] -> [analyzer 1: color of the image Analysis and grouping of similar color images] -> 　[Analysis part2: 　If the user clicks and drags the part to be removed, the X, Y coordinates of the corresponding part are analyzed] ->　[Output part 1: Grouped color of the part selected by the user Images output] -> [If the user presses the remove button] -> [Processor 2: Remove the grouped color image] -> [Output unit 2: Output the remaining color images processed by the processing unit 2] -> [ If the user presses the save button, it returns to storage unit 1, or if the user presses the remove button again, it returns to the previous part] -> If the user presses save -> 　 [storage unit: saves the image data in the database] I can.

The coordinating clothes selection process (S220) is a process in which the online shopping mall server 300 selects coordination clothes to be used for coordinating user clothes from the user.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the online shopping mall server 300 displays a clothing sales list belonging to a clothing category selected by the user, and selects a coordinated clothing to be used for coordination from the displayed clothing sales list (S222).

In the process of displaying the coordinated combination image (S230), the online shopping mall server 300 displays a coordinated combination image obtained by combining the selected coordinated clothing image with the user's clothing image.

To this end, in the process of displaying the coordinated combination image (S230), first, as shown in FIG. 8, the online shopping mall server 300 determines the size of the clothing image by adjusting the size of the user's clothing image and the size of the coordinated clothing image from the user. It has a process (S231). In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the online shopping mall server 300 receives a selection of an arrangement point of a user's clothing image and an arrangement point of a coordinated clothing image from a user and determines a clothing coordinate arrangement position (S232). If the image of the user's clothing is a top sweater and the image of the coordinated clothing is a jumper clothing, the position of the coordinated clothing image as a jumper may be adjusted to be arranged side by side with the image of the user's clothing, which is a top sweater. Adjustment of the size of the clothing image and the position of the clothing coordination arrangement may be performed through mouse dragging or the like. Accordingly, the clothing image size and the clothing coordination arrangement position can be freely adjusted according to the user's intention.

After that, through the adjustment of the clothing image size and the clothing coordination position, FIG. 10 shows a coordination combination image that combines the user clothing image with the clothing image size and the clothing coordination arrangement position determined by the user and the coordination clothing together. As described above, a process of displaying (S233) may be performed.

Furthermore, after displaying the coordination combination image for the selected coordinating clothing, the coordination clothes selection process (S220) and the coordination combination image display process (S230) may be additionally repeated with respect to other coordinating clothes. For example, after arranging the image of the user's clothing of the upper sweater and the image of the coordinated clothing of the jumper, as shown in FIG. 11, the image of the coordinated clothing of the lower pants may be additionally arranged.

The purchase payment process (S240) is a process in which the online shopping mall server 300 provides a purchase order window for the coordinated clothing coordinated through the coordination combination image display process (S230) to make a user purchase payment.

To this end, the purchase payment process (S240) includes a coordination DB storage process (S241) in which the online shopping mall server 300 stores the coordination combination image finally determined by the user in the user coordination DB (S241), and the user as shown in FIG.
