Abstract

A method of combining images by using network is that user combines images arbitrarily on network. The said method has characters: the images that they participate in the combination include the images provided by user, and the combination is carried out locally. Therefore the method can combine self image of user's with clothes images on network, and it can help user to select the most suitable term. The images can be stored locally so that the combination becomes more quick and convenient.

Description

 Method for combining images using network

Technical field

 The present invention relates to a method for combining images using a network. BACKGROUND

 At present, many garments are displayed and sold through the Internet. Its advantage is that it can provide the latest product information and spread widely. It is not as geographically restricted as clothing stores. However, the disadvantage is that all kinds of clothing displayed on many clothing websites are It is worn on the model. Individuals cannot wear clothing to themselves to see if it suits their face and figure. Although some websites use "virtual fitting technology" (such as Lands' End's clothing website www.landsend.com) ), SP: Users choose models with similar skin color, hair color, hair style, face shape, and eye shape, and models with similar body shape, and generate so-called "my models" on the website that are similar to their face and body. The website server will "wear" the clothing selected by the user on the user's "my model", generate a new image after the combination, and download this image file to the local display. But this so-called "my model" and Not really my face and figure, just a model image similar to myself.

 In addition, the combination of images is now performed on the website server. After the combination, a new image file is generated, and then the new image file is downloaded to the local display. Therefore, the local Internet browser wants to perform any combination of the combination. All changes need to be recombined by the website server, and then the newly generated file is downloaded. For example, the Internet user only wants to change the top, while the other clothes of the human body are unchanged. The current method is not to download the new top from the website only. Images, but a new combination of transformation on the web server, and then download the entire body image of the changed shirt. Because the data volume of the entire image is larger than some images, when the network bandwidth is limited, the local Internet access It takes longer to wait for the entire image to be downloaded, which often makes people feel slow and inconvenient. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

 The purpose of the present invention is to provide users with a new method of combining images with user-supplied images using a network. A method of combining images using a network, combining a local computer system (hereinafter referred to as local) with a network Connected so that the two can communicate with each other and combine the images. The combination is performed locally, and there are user-supplied images in the images that participate in the combination.

 (1) Some or all of the images participating in the combination are obtained from the network with information about their storage locations;

 (2) Images that need to be closed before being displayed locally are selected by the user to be closed, read from their storage location based on their storage location information, and displayed locally;

 (3) There are more than one combination between these images, and the formation or transformation of the combination is determined by user operations;

 1

Confirm this (4) The combination of some or all images is performed locally, and there are user-supplied images in the images participating in the combination.

(5) Among the images participating in the combination, some images are stored locally, read from the local, and displayed locally.

 Among the images participating in the combination, there are images that are three-dimensional.

 Or:

 (1) Some or all of the images participating in the combination are obtained from the network with information about their storage locations;

 (2) The image that needs to be opened to be displayed locally is opened by the user, and is read from its storage location according to its storage location information and displayed locally;

 (3) The combination of some or all images is performed locally by splicing or superimposing each other, and the images remain independent after the combination;

 (4) There are more than one combination between these images, and the formation or transformation of the combination is determined by user operations;

 (5) There are user-supplied images in the participating images.

 User-supplied images are stored locally, read locally, and displayed locally.

 User-supplied images are images uploaded by users to the website for storage.

 Part or all of the images participating in the combination appear in different windows with transparent backgrounds that can be superimposed on other windows, and the images are combined locally by stitching or superimposing each other containing the images.

 Part or all of the images participating in the combination appear on different levels in the page. The layers have the characteristics of transparent background and superimposition on each other. The images in each level are locally combined by stitching or superimposing each other. .

 On a page divided into several small pages by frame technology, different images participating in the combination appear in several small pages, and the images displayed in each small page are transformed to make the different small pages spliced and combined. Image.

 The relevant information about its storage location obtained from the network is the complete storage location information of the image, which is formed on the website server, based on the information uploaded locally to the website and the relevant information stored on the network Together.

 The relevant information about the storage location obtained from the network is the complete storage location information of the image, which is formed on the website server, and is completely formed based on the information uploaded locally to the website.

 At least one of the images participating in the combination is a dynamic image.

 Among the images displayed on the screen at the same time, there are several images that are dynamic images, and the activation of their dynamic playback can be controlled synchronously.

 There is software on the website server that first modifies or integrates the images that will be downloaded to the local display and participate in the combination, and then downloads the trimmed images to the local display.

Some software locally modify or integrate the images participating in the combination, and then display the trimmed images locally. Participating images include personal images, such as clothing, accessories, jewelry components, glasses, shoes and hats, hairstyles, beauty effects images, tattoo images, and other environmental images such as furniture and decorative images.

 The present invention proposes a completely new method of combining images using a network in order to combine a clothing image with a true own image, so as to achieve a true personal fitting. Compared with the existing method: The combination is performed on the website; after the combination, a new image file is generated, and the new image file is downloaded to the local display; the image provided by me needs to be uploaded from the local to the website ", the method of the present invention is completely different:" yes The image combination is performed locally and by the user. The images participating in the combination remain independent after the combination. They are not integrated into a new file after the combination. There are user-supplied images in the images participating in the combination. For example, it can be uploaded locally to the website, or it can be stored locally, read from the local, and displayed locally ". This method allows the user to selectively open each image locally. The images are combined by stitching or superimposing. Since the images remain independent after the combination, the user can disassemble and combine the images locally, The combination composition may have due to the participation of the image I, the user can put various types of clothing or spliced image superimposed on the image I, I realized by fitting this combination.

 There are various technical methods to implement the present invention. In order to realize the stitching or overlay combination, one of the methods is to have a selection item representing each image in the window, and the user selects a selection item that participates in the combined image, and opens an image containing this image. New windows, each new window containing different images is transparent in the background and can be superimposed on each other, the user can move the windows to make the images stitched or superimposed together.

 In order to achieve splicing or overlay combination, the second method is to have selection items representing each image in the window. The user chooses to participate in the selection item of the combined image, and then enters this image file into the different levels of the page from the outside of the window page. The user can move the images in each layer to make them stitched or superimposed together. For example, input each image into the layers of different levels of a FLASH page.

 In order to realize the stitching combination, the third method is to use a frame technology to divide the page into several small pages. Among the selection items representing each image, the user selects the selection items participating in the combined image, and then displays them on each small page. Each image, due to the positional relationship of the small pages adjacent to each other, causes the images in them to be stitched together.

The common point of using the above technical methods is that they cannot be separated from the network, because the relevant information about the storage location of some or all of the participating combined images needs to be obtained from the network. The first part of the local display is the part or all of the participating combined images. Select items instead of the images themselves that participate in the combination. Because the selected items contain information about the storage location, after being selected by the user, they can be read from their storage location and displayed. In addition, between the images The combination remains independent after the combination. There is more than one combination between various images, and the formation and transformation of various combinations are determined by user operations. The combination is performed locally. The feature of the present invention is that the images participating in the combination have User-supplied images, and the combination is performed locally. In addition to the methods described above, which still remain independent after combining, the images can also be integrated locally to generate new files. For example, the user's own 3D stereo The model is stored locally, and the clothing image selected by the user is downloaded from the Internet to the local, and it is combined with the 3D own model and combined locally. When a new file, i.e., forming a 3-dimensional model I clothing worn next to the skin. Other garments try reselection, the local spread to new clothing and 3-dimensional image I will re-generate a new model in a local file. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

 The following describes the method involved in the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

The method for realizing the combined image requires the use of a network. The combination is determined by user operations, and the combination is performed locally. Performed, and there are user-supplied images in the participating images.

 If there is an image stored locally in the combined images, it will be read locally and displayed locally.

 The images participating in the combination can have a three-dimensional image. When participating in the combination, they can be integrated with other images to generate a new file locally. For example, the clothing image and the 3D human model are locally combined to generate a new file. File, which forms a 3D human body model wearing intimate clothing.

 In addition, there are many ways to combine images. They can be integrated between images to generate a new file, or they can be stitched or superimposed on each other. After the combination, these images continue to be independent. Its characteristics are described below. This method obtains relevant information about the storage location of some or all images from the network, which not only guarantees the latest online information, but also allows the image to be obtained from the user only when the user selects it. The storage location is read and displayed, which reduces the display content of the window and saves the user's waiting time for downloading. Moreover, if all images are displayed on the window at the same time, the window will be cluttered and crowded, and it is not conducive to the user's selection and combination. The images displayed locally are independent. They are stitched or superimposed on each other. This way of changing the mutual position is combined locally. Since the images are still independent after being combined, they are not integrated into one. New images, so users can easily create new images locally by replacing or changing their positions. Instead of combining and integrating on the web server, and then downloading the entire new image to the local display. There are more than one possible combination. The formation or transformation of the combination is operated by the user, not by the software. Various combinations and transformations are set in advance. Each image can be set in its opened position in advance, so that after the image is closed, it can be superimposed or stitched to form a perfect image without moving. It can also be opened. Each of the images can be moved by the user, and the user perfectly overlays or stitches each other by moving the images. By adding the images provided by the user to the combination, you can find the most suitable combination for the user's images For images, if you combine your own image with various clothing images, you can find the clothing that suits you best. The images provided by the user can be read locally and stored locally and displayed locally. Therefore, It can be replaced locally, which is very convenient. Users can also upload and store local images on the website.

 One way to implement the method of the present invention is to combine images by stitching or overlaying windows that contain images, have transparent backgrounds, and can be superimposed on each other. The specific method is to obtain information about the need to open from the network. Display information about the storage location of some or all of the participating images; the user can choose to open the participating images. Part or all of the participating images will appear on the transparent background and can be overlapped with other windows. Window; each window is stitched or superimposed together, so that the images contained therein are stitched or superimposed together.

For example, as shown in Example 3, after a user enters a query condition using a web browser, the query result is obtained from a database of the clothing website www.e-clothl.com. Since the image of the clothing is a full-body image of the individual, the top The image and the pants image are superimposed and combined, so the query result is divided into two lists of tops and pants, which includes the storage location information of each clothing image (see the query result page (8) in Figure 5). Look at the clothing image, click on the link to open the clothing image This new window has a transparent background, can be moved, and can be superimposed on other windows. (The existing windows are all opaque and need to be transformed into a transparent background, or programmed to create a new type of window. A window with a transparent background, temporarily called its suffix .X in this example.) As shown in Figure 5, we opened four windows with clothing images, showing the tops respectively.

(10) (12) and pants (11) (13). We also opened a local window (9) containing my whole body photo. This window is different from the four windows mentioned above. It is an ordinary web page. The background is opaque. As shown in Figure 6, we include the top (10) and pants

(11) Drag the window of the image to the full body photo page (9), and overlay the top and pants images on the upper and lower body parts, respectively, to achieve the purpose of my own fitting. At this time we can close the previous The window of the top (10) or pants (11), the other two windows containing the top (12) and pants (13) are superimposed on the body part of the photo page (9) to achieve the purpose of trying on different clothing. The above Each window is independent. For example, if we close the query result page (8), it will not affect other open windows.

 In the above example, the personal image is opened through the personal image link in the query result page of the browser window. Alternatively, you can open any file window containing the personal image outside the browser window. For example, open a JPG or BMP image file, and then overlay the transparent and removable window containing the clothing image in the above example on the file window containing the personal image to achieve my own fitting.

 The second way to implement the method of the present invention is to input each image to different levels in the page, and stitch or superimpose the images in the layers that are transparent and can be superimposed on each other to perform the image. Combination. The specific method is: to obtain relevant information about the storage location of some or all of the images participating in the combination that needs to be displayed on the network; the user may choose to snooze the images participating in the combination, or part or all of the images participating in the combination, It will appear on different levels in the page, and its levels have the characteristics of transparent background and superimposition on each other. The images in each level are locally combined by stitching or overlaying each other.

For example, as shown in Example 4, after a user enters a query condition using a web browser, the query result is obtained from the database of the clothing website www.e-cloth2.com and displayed on a FLASH page, as shown in the query result page of FIG. 7 ( 14), because the image of the clothing is a combination of the whole body image, the top image and the pants image, the query result is divided into two lists of tops and pants, including the storage location of each clothing image Information. For the different clothing images you want to see, click the [Show] button (19) on each row, and then each file containing the clothing image (with the suffix .SWF) will be on different levels on this window page. (Level) is shown in layers, these layers have the characteristics of transparent background, movable, and can be superimposed on other layers. We will display the tops (16) (18), pants (17) on different levels. Click the [Display] button (20) of the person's image to display the full body photo of the person (15) stored locally on the page. See Figure 8. Drag different clothing images, tops (16), pants (17) to On different parts of the body photo, I object can reach the fitting. (If this embodiment, each picture is previously set its open position, the trousers or the jacket in the open image, superimposed on the body without moving pictures I try to put on different clothes on different parts of the body.) Click the [Close] button (21) to close the layer containing the clothing image of this line, close the layer containing the shirt image (16), and put another As soon as the top image (18) is dragged onto the whole body photo, the changing of the clothing is completed. However, when you close this page (14), the image-containing layer on all pages will also disappear.

 The third way to implement the method of the present invention is to divide the page into several small pages. By transforming the images displayed in the small pages, the small pages are stitched together to form different images. The specific method is: using frame technology, Divide the page into several small pages; Obtain relevant information about the storage location of some or all images of the participating combination that need to be displayed from the network; the user can choose to open the participating image, and the different images participating in the combination are respectively Appears in these small pages, by transforming the images displayed in each small page, the small pages are stitched together to form different images.

 For example, see Example 1. After the user enters the query conditions using a web browser, the query results are obtained from the database of the clothing website www.e-cloth.com. As shown in Figure 2, the page is divided into the left page by using the frame technology. Used to display the query results (including the storage location information of the clothing image); the two small pages on the right (3) (4), which are used to display the avatar of the character and the body image of the model in clothing. Local users can Select the model's or person's avatar as the character's avatar. My avatar is stored locally, so it is directly obtained from the local and displayed on the small page above (3); some of the body images of the models in clothing are stored locally. On the CD-ROM, it can be obtained directly from the local CD-ROM. Some are stored on the website and can be downloaded from the website. They will be displayed in the small page below (4). The independent small pages above and below depend on their positional relationship to be stitched together. A complete body image in full clothing. Select the body image of a model in different clothing to combine and display the same head and full body in different clothing. According to the size of the clothing (such as: small, medium, large, oversized, etc.) or body shape (such as the body is inverted triangle, jujube, etc.) when entering the search criteria, the provided image will be Is the body of the model with the corresponding figure wearing the corresponding size clothing, which will make the displayed model body image more like his own body.

 If in addition to the user-supplied images, the images participating in the combination are also read locally, displayed locally, and stored locally, the speed of browsing the images locally can be made faster. See also In the embodiment, some clothing images are stored on the optical disc D used by the local computer. If all the images are stored locally, the display speed of the images will be fast without being affected by the network bandwidth. If the relevant information of the storage location is obtained from the network, it can not only ensure that the latest information is obtained from the network, but also make it faster to browse images on the local computer.

 The above-mentioned "relevant information about the storage location of the image" obtained from the network in the present invention may be the complete and accurate storage location of the image (such as the link D: /Tops/s28.x), or it may be combined with the composition Information about storage location information (such as the file name stored in the website database: /Tops/s28.x).

The storage location of some images is based on local information and information related to storage location information stored on the network, such as storage location D: /Tops/s28.x, which is based on the local information by the software: Disk location D, And related information on the Internet: / 上衣 /s28.x. The local information can be uploaded locally to the website, which is processed by the software on the website. The related information together constitutes the storage location information of the image, and then the complete storage location information is downloaded to the local. For example, the query result page (8) of FIG. 5 in Embodiment 3, the storage location of each clothing image in the query result, Such as D: / 上衣 /s28.x, it is formed on the website, and is based on the information uploaded by the user in the query page: the disk location "D", and the name of the clothing file stored in the website database : "/ 上衣 /s28.x" together. It can also be the relevant information after downloading and local information. After being processed locally by software, it will form the image storage location information together. For example, the relevant information on the website: File name: "/ 上衣 /s28.x", after being downloaded to the local, and the local information: disk position "D", processed by software locally, and together form the storage location information of the image: D: / 上衣 /s28.x.

 Some image storage locations can also be formed entirely based on local information. For example, after the local information is uploaded to the website, as in Example 1, the personal image file is stored as: CA my face.htm (with my own inserted Photo C: \ plugin_face.jpg), the information stored in this file is uploaded to the website by the user on the query page. The website is based on this complete information to form an address link C: / my face.htm. The user clicks this link in the results page, and You can open a window containing your own image. Local users can change the image displayed in the file by saving different images as the image replacement method of C: \ plugin_face.jpg.

 In the above example, the interactive transfer and editing of storage location information can be achieved through the ASP programming language.

 In the present invention, if at least one of the images participating in the combination is a dynamic image, the entire picture composed will be rendered more vivid. If the images displayed on the screen at the same time, several images are dynamic images For example, their start or stop can be controlled synchronously, and the picture combined by each image will be more exciting.

 In reality, the standard image often needs to be personalized. For example, although the clothing image has standard models such as small, medium, large, and oversized, it is still not suitable for users with special figures. Therefore, the present invention The software used in the system can be modified according to the user's requirements, or it can be integrated with other images. This trimming process can be performed by the software on the website according to the requirements uploaded by the user (such as personal body data) Then, the trimmed image is downloaded to the local display; or the image is trimmed locally by the software and then displayed locally.

 For example, a user enters query conditions (such as querying pants) in a query page of a web browser, and his own body data (such as body shape data with short fat legs), uploads it to a website, and queries from a database. The result list is downloaded to the results page for display. When clicking the file link of a certain pants image in the result list (the image is stored on the website), the software on the website compares the image (such as oversized pants) First modify (change the length of the shorts to suit the user's leg length), and then download the modified image to the local display.

For another example, in Embodiment 4, for the image of the shirt, pants, and the whole body displayed on the local results page, click on it to enlarge the image. If you click repeatedly, you can enlarge the image to the satisfaction of the user. The size of the image is more suitable for the whole body image. In this process, the software exists in the image file, and clicking the image with the mouse starts the image displayed locally. The software program in the file enlarges and modifies the image. This trimming process is done locally.

 The present invention is applicable to the combined display of images in many fields, which will greatly enrich and improve the functions of existing websites, to name a few of them:

 For example, a clothing website can use frame technology to divide the page into several small pages. On two small pages next to each other, they can be used to try on when they are used to display their avatars and body images in different clothes. Clothes; when used to display the hat and the face of the person, it can be used to try on the hat; when used to display the whole body above the feet of the person and the shoes, they can be used to try on the shoes. You can also use the superimposed combination on the page My full-body image is covered with various clothing images for trying on clothes; My own head is covered with hats for trying on hats; My full-body images are covered with shoes, accessories, for trying on shoes, accessories Cover the necktie, scarf, and test strips, scarves on my image.

 For example, on the website of furniture and decoration, users can superimpose images of various types of furniture to be sold on the photos and images of their own rooms. Through various combinations and placements, users can find the best furniture combination Or the most suitable furniture and furnishings for your own room. Users can add various decorative images to the photos and images of their own rooms to preview the style of the room after decoration.

 You can also use the frame technology to divide the page into several small pages. The user first selects the page to be divided into several small pages and the arrangement of the small pages. For example: Select four small pages that are adjacent to each other side by side. Or choose to divide into two rows of upper and lower rows, each row of three small pages in a mesh arrangement, and so on. Each small page can display the image of the furniture to be sold on the website, or a partial photo image of the user's room. These images displayed on each small page will combine the scene where different furniture is placed in the room. In addition, the size and relative position of each small page can be changed by using the characteristics of the frame that separates each small page to be moved left and right and up and down. Facilitate the stitching and placement of various images. These functions can help users find the best combination of furniture or the furniture that best suits their room.

 For example, on a jewelry website, users can superimpose images of various ornament components on their own photos, combine the entire jewelry image that suits them best, and then customize it to a jewelry store.

 You can also use the frame technology to divide the page into several small pages. The user first selects the page to be divided into several small pages, and the arrangement of the small pages. Lets you display the image of the accessories on the small page and change the small page. The component images will combine different whole jewelry images.

 For example, on the website of beauty salons and cosmetic tattoos, users can superimpose various hairstyles on their own photos to determine the best haircut for the hairdresser; overlay the beauty or cosmetic local effect images on their avatars, such as Cover my face with a variety of eyebrow styles to preview the face after shaving; overlay a tattoo pattern on my body image to help users choose a tattoo that suits them.

For example, on the glasses website, users can overlay various types of glasses on their photos to help users choose the most suitable ones. Example 1

 In this implementation, the local computer is connected to the clothing website www.e-cloth.com using the browser software internet explorer, and the user enters search conditions on the query page (eg, sketch 1): [keyword word] none, [category] sports Service, [brand] None, [origin] none, [size] medium size, [price <=] 500, and indicate where the head of the person is stored locally: C: \ my face.htm, and indicate that it is placed in the local computer The location of the CD: D. Then, press the button (1), the information is uploaded to the website, the website queries its own database, after obtaining the latest query results, download it to the local computer, and display it on the results page (as shown in Figure 2). As shown in Fig. 2, the result page is divided into one page on the left (2) and two small pages on the right (3) (4). The query result is displayed on the left page (2), including: product number , Brand, price and location link of the image file and other latest information. On the left page, there are links to the location of different avatar files: Click on different links to display your own avatar or model avatar on the upper right small page (3). Click on the link of the image file of different clothing, and the small page (4) at the bottom right will display the body images of the models in different clothing.

 According to the information uploaded from the local query page, the website processes the results and downloads the results to the local results page: On the left page, the link to my avatar is: C: / mv face.htm. The links to the models' avatars are: http://www.e-cloth.com/man.htm and mouth http://www.e-cloth.com/woman.htm. Click on the different links. In the small page (3), the personal avatar obtained from the local C drive or the model avatar downloaded from the website is displayed.

 On the left page, there are links to the location of the image files of the 3 query results: 2 dynamic image files are stored on the CD-ROM placed in the D optical drive, the links are D: / Graphic ZY861.htm and D: / Graphic /Y275.htm, a static image file is stored on the website, the link is http://www.e-cloth.com ZY369.htm, click on a different link, it can be displayed on the small page below the right (4) The body image of the model in clothing obtained from the local CD or downloaded from the website. For dynamic images, the "Start", "Pause", "Stop" buttons (5) in the small page (4) can be controlled Image playback. Independent small pages (3) (4), depending on their positional relationship, show a complete image of the whole body in clothing by the combination of the head and body image.

Compared with the existing website, the avatar and glasses images in this embodiment remain independent of each other before and after being superimposed, Instead of integrating and generating a new image after superimposing, you can change their mutual position at any time, instead of just regenerating a new image to refresh the old image; and, operations such as superimposing and changing position are all local Not only on the website server, it is not only faster and more convenient, but also reduces the burden on the website server and saves the investment cost of purchasing a higher performance server. The existing website is integrated and generated according to the "upload instruction" The long operation process of "pass, refresh all" runs. By comparison, the advantages of the present invention are obvious.
