Abstract

An eye test service system comprising an eye test service apparatus for obtaining eye test data of an objective eye of a service user, connected to a database system through a communication line, and provided at an eye test service equipment, the database system having an eye test data memorizing unit configured to memorize eye test data and an eyeglass frame memory unit for memorizing eyeglass frame information data; an issue apparatus provided at the eye test service apparatus or the database system for issuing a user ID for specifying the user and a user password for calling out a photographed facial picture; and a web server capable of showing the eye test data, and superimposing a selected facial picture with a selected eyeglass frame when the service user inputs the user ID and password by using a terminal to access the database system.

Claims

1. An eye test service system, comprising:

an eye test service apparatus for obtaining eye test data of an objective eye of a service user, connected to a database system through a communication line and provided at an eye test service equipment, the database system comprising an eye test data memorizing unit configured to memorize eye test data and an eyeglass frame memory unit for memorizing eyeglass frame information data;

an issue apparatus provided at the eye test service apparatus or said database system for issuing a user ID for specifying said user and a user password for calling out a photographed facial picture; and

a web server capable of showing said eye test data, and superimposing a selected facial picture with a selected eyeglass frame when said service user inputs said user ID and a password by using a terminal to access said database system.

2. The eye test service system according to claim 1, wherein said database system comprises an eyeglass frame data memory means, and said web server comprises a selecting means for selecting an eyeglass frame, and a picture superimposing means for superimposing the selected eyeglass frame with a facial picture.

3. The eye test service system according to claim 2, wherein said issue apparatus issues said user ID and said user password on the basis of an input of an electronic mail address of said service user.

4. An eye test service system, comprising an eye test service apparatus comprising a photographing camera which photographs a facial picture of a user of an eye test service, said eye test service apparatus being adapted to obtain eye test data of an objective eye of the service user, being connected to a database system through a communication line, and being provided at an eye test service equipment,

wherein

an issue apparatus for issuing a user ID for specifying said user and a transmitting means for transmitting said facial picture to a terminal of said service user is provided at the eye test service apparatus or said database system,

said database system comprises an eye test data memory means for preserving said eye test data, and a web server comprising an eyeglass frame showing means for showing an eyeglass frame when said service user inputs said user ID by using said terminal to access said database system, and

said terminal comprises a picture synthesizing means for synthesizing a selected eyeglass frame with said facial picture to display a synthesized picture.

5. The eye test service system according to claim 4, wherein said transmitting means transmits said facial picture to said terminal on the basis of an input of an electronic mail address.

6. An eye test service system, comprising an eye test service apparatus or database system comprising a photographing camera which photographs a facial picture of a user of an eye test service;

and

a communication line for communicating the facial picture to a terminal apparatus of the eye test service user;

wherein

said database system comprises a memory means for preserving information on said facial picture, and a web server for showing said facial picture when said service user accesses said database system.
