抄録

Nowadays sophisticated mobile devices have been gradually popularized, which enable us to carry and refer flood of personal data collections such as music tunes, bibliographic list, cashbook, weight log, etc. anytime, anywhere. In this paper, to further innovation in our lifestyle, we develop a smart phone application to build a personal clothing database that is expected to enhance our daily dressing, shopping behavior, and social communication. For the purpose we invent a hierarchical touch-screen menu interface for categorizing personal clothing data. Although there are vast number of clothing category names may be considered, we adopted minimum necessary set based on our questionnaire results. Moreover we introduce a novel shooting method to take clothing pictures, in which a target clothing is overlaid on a human silhouette frame in the shooting screen to keep size and alignment of the pictures homogeneous.
