Application: Apparel collection management with product modifications (Patent ID: US20230243088A1)
The patent filed by Levi Strauss & Co. describes a system that allows users to create and preview new designs for apparel before manufacturing. The system utilizes software and lasers to create desired wear patterns or other designs on garments. Users can collaborate during the design process and specify which items should be included in specific collections.
The first claim of the patent describes a method that involves providing a database of products, including garments with finishing patterns to be created by a laser. Users can search the database using an assortment builder tool and select a product from the search results. After selecting a garment, users can make modifications to the finishing pattern, such as modifying the pattern itself, its position relative to a base image, or its sizing. The method also includes generating a preview image of the selected garment with the modified finishing pattern.
The second claim specifies that one of the modifications allowed to the finishing pattern is adding a damage input. The third claim states that another modification allowed is removing a damage input from the finishing pattern.
Claim four specifies that the selected garment can be a pair of jeans.
Claim five describes the method of generating a preview image. It involves providing a base image of the garment without the finishing pattern, generating an adjusted base image, and creating a pattern mask based on the laser input file. The preview image is generated by combining the values from the pattern mask and the base image, and displaying it on a computer screen.
Claims six and seven provide additional details about the combining process and the contributions from the base image and adjusted base image.
Claims eight and nine describe the search parameters that can be used to search the database, including text, images, data, and various data metrics related to the products.
Claims ten to fifteen are similar to claims one to seven, but they specify that the modification allowed to the finishing pattern is only modifying the pattern itself.
Claims sixteen to nineteen are similar to claims one to seven, but they specify that the modification allowed to the finishing pattern is removing a damage input.
Claim twenty reiterates the search parameters that can be used to search the database.
In summary, the patent describes a system that allows users to create and preview new designs for apparel using software and lasers. Users can search a database of products, select a garment, and make modifications to the finishing pattern. The system also generates preview images of the selected garment with the modified finishing pattern.
