Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an online database system capable of retrieving image information of ornaments and the like using noble metals.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Decorative articles made of noble metals such as rings and necklaces are very expensive because they are made of materials such as 18K and platinum. Some of these noble metal ornaments are sold as finished products as they are, while others are finished products after specific processing such as length adjustment of necklaces. In addition, there are jewelry empty frames and the like in which jewels such as diamonds and rubies are stoned and processed into finished jewelry. It is practically impossible for these jewelry and other distributors to stock all jewelry and other products in accordance with the tastes of customers. A search was made during a negotiation according to the customer's taste for a design catalog created by a trader, and sales were conducted while making up for lack of stock by demonstrating to the customer.

However, in the conventional method of searching for jewelry or the like by using a design catalog, a jewelry manufacturer uses a design list created according to its own standard, and the list is divided into several volumes and has many designs. It is not easy to find the one that corresponds to the customer's preference from the inside. Furthermore, jewelry items are fashionable,
Due to the trend, new products are often announced every season, and the design catalog for the new design is a separate volume, which further increases the complexity of the above-described search. Even if the design catalog is a file type, it has to be sorted and arranged for each season according to the customer's taste, the size of the jewel, etc. for each season.

[0004] In particular, the price of precious metals, such as jewelry and the like, changes according to the daily bullion market price, and a design catalog created by a jewelry manufacturer usually includes product weight by the number of grams. However, it is necessary to check the market price and confirm the product price each time, and it is not possible to estimate the selling price accurately for the customer, so effective sales using the design catalog is not possible. It was possible.

[0005] On the other hand, current jewelry is mass-produced by a die-casting method, rather than by hand-made production in which a processing craftsman makes a ring while watching a design picture while measuring the size of each jewel. In many cases, the jewelry has a stone seat that can hold the jewel in the empty frame, and a jewelry that has a design that matches the customer's preference is selected and completed by stone fixing. Therefore, as another common method of selling jewelry, a jewelry merchant may use a jewelry empty frame design catalog created by a jewelry empty frame manufacturer based on jewelry imported or brought in by a customer. Search for jewelry empty frames having stone cuts corresponding to the cut shape of the gem and the dimensions of the jewelry, and perform demonstration with the jewelry for the customer to complete the selected jewelry empty frame to become the final jewelry In some cases, such a procedure was adopted.

However, in the method of searching for a jewelry empty frame using a design catalog, the above-described difficulties in searching and the difficulty in calculating the product bullion due to fluctuations in the bullion market similarly cause problems. Processing costs are added to the final quota product price in addition to the product bullion, which usually depends on the jewelry vacancy manufacturer and whether it is a platinum or gold product. , More complex calculations are required. Especially in the case of jewelery vacancies, the largest share of the cost of finished jewelry is the price of gems stoned in the vacant frames, which constantly fluctuate depending on the diamond price and exchange rates. Problems arise. Therefore, if there are several designs that correspond to the customer's taste, it is practically impossible to calculate the final price of the finished jewelry based on the individual jewelry empty frame design, It can often be said that in many cases, the customer's willingness to purchase is reduced.

[0007]

The reasons why the search by the conventional catalog system and the demonstration to the customer have not been effectively performed are summarized as follows.
That is, the first reason is that jewelry sellers are required to demonstrate the precious metal decorations and jewelry blanks that should be demonstrated to general consumers. Despite being owned by empty jewelry manufacturers, jewelry sellers did not have a system for centrally managing such inventory information. The second reason is that in response to jewelry-specific price factors such as fluctuations in precious metal ingot prices and diamond prices, and differences in processing fees depending on the precious metal materials and vendors, real-time precious metal ornaments and finished jewelry That is, there was no means for calculating the price. Further, the third reason is that, in particular, in the jewelry sales in the jewelry empty frame, the general consumer can schedule in advance the budget for the completed jewelry desired to be purchased. Due to various factors peculiar to jewelry, it is not possible to immediately list jewelry empty frames within the budget range from the catalog. Therefore, a technical problem of the present invention is to manage and search product inventory information including precious metal ornaments and jewelry empty frames held by a plurality of vendors in an integrated manner using an online database system, and An object of the present invention is to provide an environment in which image data of jewelry and the like and their product prices can be presented in real time in response to fluctuations in the price of precious metals. In addition, the technical problem of the present invention is that, just by inputting a parameter corresponding to a customer's budget, purchase within the budget range,
An object of the present invention is to provide an environment in which a jewelry empty frame that can be processed is extracted and displayed.

[0008]

Optical disk 27 is provided. On the optical disk 27, along with the above image information, numerical information of the number of grams such as the weight of each noble metal ornament and each jewelry empty frame is recorded as information corresponding to each image information. Are also recorded as numerical information. Further, search information such as a customer preference determining factor is recorded in correspondence with each image information, and further, with respect to the jewelry empty frame, stone seat shape information based on a cut shape of a jewel to be stoned in the jewelry empty frame, and The stone size of the jewelry empty frame derived from the size of the jewel is recorded as numerical information. Thus, the memory of the present invention is constituted by the optical disk drive 21 and the optical disk 27.

The host computer 2 has a register 22 composed of a RAM capable of recording precious metal price information. Register 22 has keyboard 2
The bullion market value information, which is the unit price per gram of gold and platinum, input from 6 is recorded as numerical information. This numerical information is immediately updated by an input operation from the keyboard 26 when the market price fluctuates. The terminal 3 includes a keyboard 36 for inputting various parameters such as search conditions, and a monitor 37 as a display device. The parameters input from the keyboard 36 are transmitted to the communication control unit 35,
The data is sent to the host computer 2 via the communication path 4.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the file format of each of the above information, taking a card type database as an example. Here, the image data file of the jewelry empty frame will be described as an example. The database is configured to perform known relational processing, and fetches arbitrary information according to various search conditions. The recorded information includes weight information and processing fee information, as well as information indicating the material of empty frames such as gold, information on design styles such as modern, and Information on the weight of side stones to be used or luxuriously decorated, information on the name of the trader for ordering the product, information on the product model number, etc. For the jewelry empty frame, the cut shape of the jewel to be stoned further Stone shape information corresponding to
Each piece of information such as jewelry dimension information of the jewelry empty frame specified from the outer peripheral length and the depth of the jewel is stored.

Here, the image information is obtained, for example, by photographing each jewelry item with a digital camera and compressing the image into a predetermined data file format such as JPEG. Correspondence information is set and associated with each image information and numerical information indicating the weight of the jewelry item represented by the image. Similarly, processing fee information on the cost required for processing each jewelry item is also associated, and relation processing can be performed.

Hereinafter, the flow of image data search for a jewelry empty frame when a specific jewel is prepared in advance will be described step by step. The operator inputs predetermined search parameters to the terminal 3 in accordance with the cut shape of the jewel prepared in advance, the dimensions of the jewel, and the like, as well as factors determining the customer's preferences. The input of the parameters may be performed by a normal interactive interface, and is performed in a form of giving a numerical value or selecting each item shown in FIG.

First, the cut shapes of the prepared jewels,
That is, a cut type such as round brilliant, oval mix, heart shape, and pair shape is selected. Also, the outer peripheral length and the depth, which are the dimensions of the jewel, are input. Next, the desired material: gold, platinum,
Silver or the like is selected. Finally, design style preferences: traditional, modern, antique, etc. are selected. In the case of using side stones, a carat, which is a measure of the total weight, is selected. The input search conditions are sent to the host computer 2 via the communication path 4. In the host computer 2, a data file corresponding to a desired design style and material is selected from jewelry empty frames having a stone seat according to the cut shape of the jewel and the size of the jewel according to the database management program.

With reference to the unit price per gram of the precious metal consisting of the bullion market information recorded in, and further add a predetermined processing fee,
The cost of the jewelry empty frame is calculated by the CPU 23 and transmitted to the terminal 3 together with the image information. The terminal 3 displays on the display 37 the image information transmitted from the host computer 2 and the numerical information indicating the cost at the time of searching for the jewelry empty frame together with the selected image information. The added sales price is displayed on the display 37. The calculation of the margin and the like are performed by the CPU 33.

Although the image information retrieval of the jewelry empty frame in the case where the jewel is prepared in advance has been described, the procedure is the same for a ring or a necklace which has already been completed. However, in the case of these single precious metal ornaments, since there is no jewel to be stoned, there is no need for a procedure for inputting parameters of the cut shape of the jewel and the dimensions of the jewel.

Next, a description will be given of image information retrieval of a jewelry empty frame when the customer's budget for the completed jewelry is set in advance. After inputting various search parameters in the same manner as described above, the operator further determines the price at the time of searching for the jewel to be stoned while referring to the jewelry market price, and sets a numerical value together with the customer's budget price for the finished jewelry. input.
In the host computer 2, based on the price information of the jewelry input from the terminal 3 and the budget price information of the finished jewelry,
Determine if each jewelry empty frame is available. That is, C
The PU 23 first multiplies the value of the bullion market value information recorded in the register and the value of the weight information, and adds the value of the processing fee information of the jewelry empty frame to the jewelry empty frame. Calculate the cost of Furthermore, the value of the jewelry price information input from the terminal 3 is added to the calculated cost to calculate the actual price of the finished jewelry. Further, the CPU 23 plays the role of the comparator of the present invention. The budget price information of the completed jewelry input from the terminal 3 and the actual price information of the completed jewelry calculated by the arithmetic means are written to respective predetermined addresses of a RAM (not shown) and compared by reference. If the actual price of the finished jewelry exceeds the budget price, it will be removed from the list. The image information of the jewelry empty frame available for the completed jewelry item selected under such conditions and the numerical information representing the cost of the completed jewelry item are transmitted to the terminal 3 via the communication control unit 25 and the communication path 4. Sent. Further, at this time, in the terminal 3, a calculation is performed by the CPU 33 to add a margin or the like of the jewelry dealer, and the data file sent from the host computer 2 has a sales price not exceeding the budget price. May be selectively displayed.

Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and a configuration change can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. In particular, in the memory constituted by the optical disk drive 21 and the optical disk 27, image data of a precious metal decorative article having a new design added according to the trend of jewelry can be updated and recorded. The memory may have a configuration of a collective optical disk device, and may have a plurality of optical disks 27 therein.

[0023]

As described above, in the image information retrieval system according to the first aspect of the present invention, the host computer stores the image information group of the noble metal ornament and the weight information group corresponding thereto. It is provided with a stored memory and a register capable of recording precious metal bullion market value information, and
Based on each information recorded in these, the calculation means for calculating the price information of the noble metal ornaments related to the extraction, the terminal connected via the communication path, the image information of the noble metal ornaments, At the time of output, the price information can also be output to the display device on the terminal at the same time. As a result, at the store of a jewelry retailer, not only can the list of jewelry items that match the customer's preferences be displayed in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, but also the product price corresponding to the bullion market price at the time of their search is calculated instantly Can be referenced. Unlike traditional jewelry sales, in which business negotiations are conducted while searching for design catalogs, it is possible to instantly demonstrate fund-exclusive decorations according to customer preferences without impairing the customer's willingness to purchase. Is no longer necessary. Even for new products that are announced every season, it is possible to always provide customers with the latest fashion jewelry designs without the hassle of management like a design catalog.

In the image information retrieval system according to the present invention, the memory of the host computer stores the image information group of the jewelry empty frame and the jewelry empty frame corresponding to each image information. Since the processing fee information group is also stored, the price information of the jewelry empty frame is calculated based on these information, transmitted to the terminal together with the image information, and the price of the jewelry empty frame corresponding to the bullion market price is calculated. It is now possible to output to a display device on the terminal side in real time. In addition, since a group of stone shape information and a group of stone size information for searching for a special precious metal ornament such as a jewelry empty frame are stored in the memory, the search is performed in the case where a jewel is prepared in advance. Jewelry blanks that are available to the customer and match the customer's preferences can be instantly referenced along with their prices. This has traditionally required a lot of effort to compare and refer to a large number of catalogs for a large number of prepared gems, especially for jewelry wholesalers who produce a large number of jewelry, and furthermore, accurate wholesale product prices. Although it took time and effort to always ask each jewelry empty frame manufacturer for the calculation for the empty frame product price at the time of the calculation, these are no longer necessary.

Further, in the image information retrieval system according to the present invention, the budget price information of the noble metal ornament is also inputted as a retrieval condition by the input device, so that the host computer can enter the bullion market. By calculating the actual price information of the corresponding precious metal ornament, and being compared with the budget price information by the comparator, as the image information of only the precious metal ornament jewelry that can be sold according to the customer's preference at the time of search It can be transmitted to a terminal and output to a display device on the terminal side. In the actual jewelry sales, the most sought after for the general consumer who is the customer is the budget for the jewelry desired to be purchased. In addition, only jewelry items within the planned budget range corresponding to the bullion market can be demonstrated in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and effective jewelry sales can be performed while giving customers a sense of security. The fact that a large number of jewelry items are not required is the same as in the first aspect.

In addition, in the image information retrieval system according to the present invention as set forth in claim 4, the price information of the jewels set in the jewelry empty frame and the budget price information of the completed jewelry are also searched by the input device. By being entered as a condition,
The host computer calculates the price of the jewelry empty frame corresponding to the bullion market price and considering the processing fee, and further adds the price of the jewelry entered with reference to the jewelry price to obtain the actual price of the finished jewelry The information is calculated and compared with the budget price information by the comparator, so that only the jewelry empty frame suitable for the customer's taste and available for the completed jewelry is transmitted to the terminal as image information, and the terminal-side display device Can be output to This allows jewelry retailers to list available jewelry slots, which have traditionally required very complex calculations, based on accurate quotes based on bullion prices, It is possible to demonstrate to customers. Therefore, the jewelry dealer does not need to stock a large number of jewelry items, and if only jewelry according to the customer's preference is stocked, jewelry items can be sold based on the image information of the jewelry empty frame. In other words, it will be possible to sell innovative jewelry based on empty jewelry while giving the customer a sense of security while impairing the customer's willingness to purchase. This has the great advantage that the jewelry retailer is freed from unnecessary inventory of jewelry, which has conventionally been the largest economic burden.
