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. A service system, comprising:

a database system; and

a service apparatus for obtaining personal body characteristics of a service user, connected to the database system through a communication line,

the database system including;

a personal data memorizing unit configured to memorize the personal body characteristics for the service user;

a personal goods to wear or carry information data memory unit for memorizing the personal goods to wear or carry information data; and

a statistical analyzing unit, wherein

the statistical analyzing unit is configured to

decompose personal body characteristics of a picture of a body of each of a number of service users into a plurality of components;

classify the decomposed components into plural types with respect to a number of the service users; and

statistically analyze the classified components in a given type, and thereby collect data for associating the body characteristics of a number of the service users with the personal goods to wear or carry selected by each service user, respectively.

2. The service system according to claim 1, further comprising a web server which comprises a selecting means for selecting the personal goods to wear or carry, and a picture superimposing means for superimposing the selected personal goods to wear or carry with a personal body picture.

3. The service system according to claim 2, further comprising an issue apparatus which issues an ID of said service user and a user password on the basis of an input of an electronic mail address of said service user.

6. The service system according to claim 1, comprising

an eye test service apparatus or database system comprising a photographing camera which photographs a body picture of the service user;

and

a communication line for communicating the body picture to a terminal apparatus of the service user.

4. An eye test service system, comprising:

an eye test service apparatus including 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 includes an eye test data memory means for preserving said eye test data;

a web server having 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

a statistical analyzing unit, wherein

said terminal has a picture synthesizing means for synthesizing a selected eyeglass frame with said facial picture to display a synthesized picture,

the statistical analyzing unit is configured to decompose a plurality of each of a picture of a number of service users into a plurality of components;

classify the decomposed components into a plurality of facial types with respect to a number of the service users; and

statistically analyze the classified components in a given type, and thereby collect data for associating the facial types of a number of the service users with the eyeglass frame selected by each service user, respectively.

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.
