AI based body measure capturing
User experience
The user presses a button in the ZUGSEIL Shop or Measuring-In App and receives a 3D-barcode and instructions how to perform the body-measure capturing process. Either the user has to scan the 3D barcode with the camera app for a web app to be opened or use the 3rd party`s app to read the 3D barcode. From this moment the 3rd party mobile app or mobile browser takes over control. The user finishes the process on the mobile device and returns to the ZUGSEIL application, where the user either confirms the finishing of the body measure capturing process by pressing a button. Eventually this process is automated if the polling process in the background transferred the body measures automatically.
Technical flow
ZUGSEIL integrates with 3rd party vendor apps to find matching body measures. Integration works over a Session-ID generated by ZUGSEIL:
- ZUGSEIL generates a session-ID, which is typically a UID (e.g. 957617eb-8acd-4b82-a151-2f5c3516c65d)
- After the session-ID is generated, ZUGSEIL in the background uses an API offered by the 3rd party vendor to pass information. Typical information passed through this channel are gender, body height, desired user language and branding information (like logo and color-coding of the CI of the company the staff member to become measured-in)
- Once the session-ID is confirmed, the ZUGSEIL app shows either the session-ID coded as 3D barcode or a website-link with the Session-ID as URL-parameter. This depends mainly on the 3rd party vendor working with a native app or with a web based tool.
- From this moment ZUGSEIL polls over the 3rd party api for the set of body-measures detected by the 3rd party AI.
It is essential that the 3rd party does not store any information of the scanned body, like photos on its side permanently as ZUGSEIL is committed to ensure most modern data protection legislation.
AI based size recognizion
Precise size recognition AI requires as prerequisite body measures and the supplier to provide of the equipment (clothing) to provide clothing model data, as the size is detected per piece to be ordered. The AI size detection can run fully automated in the backgound, e.g. in the mesuring-in process during the ordering process. When used by tailors, the detected body measures and sizes are shown and can be adopted (and manipulated) by the professional user.
