SMART MIRROR STYLING SYSTEM AND METHOD

Smart overview of the Invention

A smart mirror styling system utilizes advanced technology to enhance the shopping experience for clothing. It features a camera and imaging algorithms that create a multidimensional body mask of the user, capturing their size and shape. The system employs artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze the user's style preferences alongside their body data, enabling it to recommend suitable clothing items from a database.

Addressing Challenges in Online Shopping

Online clothing shopping often presents challenges, particularly for women due to inconsistent sizing across brands. Many shoppers return items because they do not fit as expected, leading to frustration. Traditional methods of trying on clothes, such as using virtual avatars, fail to accurately represent individual body shapes, further complicating the process.

Functionality of the Smart Mirror

The smart mirror system allows users to virtually "try on" clothing by displaying scaled images of selected items over a live image of themselves. It captures the user's facial expressions to gauge their emotional responses to the clothing and can automatically suggest alternatives if negative emotions are detected. This interactive experience aims to make online shopping more satisfying and personalized.

Components of the Smart Mirror System

• A computer with imaging software and AI algorithms.
• A touch-enabled mirror display paired with front-facing cameras.
• A database containing clothing images, sizes, and styles.
• User preference data that informs clothing recommendations.

Additional Features and Benefits

Beyond virtual try-ons, the smart mirror can manage wardrobe inventories without requiring user input. It may also include features that promote self-esteem by providing positive affirmations based on detected emotions. This innovative approach not only simplifies the shopping process but also enhances user confidence and satisfaction.
