DEVICES, FRAMEWORKS AND METHODOLOGIES FOR ENABLING USER-DRIVEN DETERMINATION OF BODY SIZE AND SHAPE INFORMATION AND UTILISATION OF SUCH INFORMATION ACROSS A NETWORKED ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A scanning booth system configured to enable determination of physical body shape data for a user, the system including:
- a structural assembly defining a booth interior, wherein the booth interior is securely concealed from exterior view, and wherein the booth interior is sized thereby to enable undressing and dressing of a user contained therein;
a user interface device configured to receive identification information from a user;
one or more stimuli devices coupled to a control device, wherein the control device is configured to implement a logical instructions process flow thereby to provide, via the one or more stimuli devices, instructions to a user contained within the booth interior, wherein the instructions include instructions for the user to adopt a predefined stance, position and posture;
one or more scanning devices configured to derive measurements representative of size of a body contained within the booth interior;
a communications module configured to enable communication between the scanning booth and a central server, wherein the communications module is configured to transmit, to the central server, body scan data derived from output of the one or more scanning devices; and
a display unit configured to provide to the user a visual representation of a three dimensional avatar defined based upon the output of the one or more scanning devices.

Abstract
A scanning booth with a user interface. The interface receives user identification or registration data and provides instructional prompts for the user to assume various predefined positions, stances and postures. Image data of each pose is captured using scanning devices in the booth. A three dimensional avatar is generated based on the mapping or morphing of image data to a generic avatar model. Data from the generated model is transmitted to a server where it is stored in a database for later account application in, for example, garment sizing, display or fitting, or health monitoring.

11. A scanning booth system configured to enable determination of physical body shape data for a user, the system being configured to enable user-driven autonomous collection of body scan data for upload to a central server that maintains user account data for the user, wherein the scanning booth includes one or more stimuli devices configured to implement a logical process flow which guides the user through a scanning data collection process without a need for assistance by a further human user.

12. A data management system including:
-
an input interface configured to receive, from a plurality of scanning booth systems, body scan data respectively defined for a plurality of users; a data repository configured to maintain user record data, wherein the user record data is configured to include, for each of a plurality of users, user registration data and user body scan data; and one or more integration modules, wherein the integration modules are configured to provide one or more aspects of the body scan data to one or more third party platforms; wherein each of the plurality of scanning booth systems include a scanning booth system configured to enable determination of physical body shape data for a user, the system including; a structural assembly defining a booth interior, wherein the booth interior is securely concealed from exterior view, and wherein the booth interior is sized thereby to enable undressing and dressing of a user contained therein; a user interface device configured to receive identification information from a user; one or more stimuli devices coupled to a control device, wherein the control device is configured to implement a logical instructions process flow thereby to provide, via the one or more stimuli devices, instructions to a user contained within the booth interior, wherein the instructions include instructions for the user to adopt a predefined stance, position and posture; one or more scanning devices configured to derive measurements representative of size of a body contained within the booth interior; a communications module configured to enable communication between the scanning booth and a central server, wherein the communications module is configured to transmit, to the central server, body scan data derived from output of the one or more scanning devices; and a display unit configured to provide to the user a visual representation of a three dimensional avatar defined based upon the output of the one or more scanning devices. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19)
