  • Patent number: 8590469
    Abstract: A method for positioning panels is for a garment in a digital clothing. The method comprises steps of: providing two orthogonal grain lines comprising horizontal and vertical axes; providing a pattern making window with a horizontal line and a vertical line; providing a panel positioning frame imbedded in a panel for encoding a relative position of the panel with respect to a human body; positioning the panel on a corresponding offset plane and adjusting an amount of offset; providing panel positioning tips to the panel for encoding a body-related position of the panel and storing the panel positioning tips in a panel data; grouping a plurality of related panels and creating group landmark lines; and creating the garment by positioning the panels at proper locations.

  • Patent number: 8554523
    Abstract: A method for creating a garment comprises steps of: creating a garment on a garment window; adding a first panel to the garment; adding a second panel to the garment; enclosing a plurality body parts of the human body with a plurality of panel positioning boxes; positioning selected panels on faces of the panel positioning boxes disposed around the human body three-dimensionally in order to facilitate matching of corresponding seam lines; defining a seam between the two selected panels which belong to the garment; deleting a selected panel from the garment; saving the garment into a garment file; and opening the garment by reading in the garment file stored in a storing device.

  • Patent number: 8437871
    Abstract: A method comprises steps of: providing body-outlining parameters; editing the body-outlining parameters; creating a body with the edited body-outlining parameters on a window for the digital clothing; and visualizing the created body on the window for the digital clothing. The step of providing the body-outlining parameters may comprise steps of providing: a stature; a crotch height; a head length; an arm length; a bust girth; a waist girth; a head girth; a upper arm girth; a lower arm girth; a knee girth; and a lower leg girth. The step of editing the body-outlining parameters may comprise steps of editing: providing a number for setting a parameter value; and sliding a visual bar on the window for the digital clothing.

  • Patent number: 8175741
    Abstract: A method comprises steps of: providing a textile coordinate system defined by a horizontal axis and a vertical axis; creating a panel comprising a plurality of panel points and lines defined on the textile coordinate system on the pattern-making window; adding a plurality of pattern-making layers associated with the panel to the pattern-making window; visualizing the panel and at least one of the plurality of pattern-making layers on the pattern making window; editing the panel by applying geometrical operations to the panel points and lines and the pattern-making points and lines; and storing the plurality of panel points and lines, the plurality of pattern-making points and lines, and time stamp of last modification to the panel in a pattern-making computer file.
