Patent ID: 8590469

Claim:
A method for positioning panels for a garment in a digital clothing comprising steps of: providing two orthogonal grain lines comprising a horizontal axis and a vertical axis; providing a pattern making window with a horizontal line and a vertical line aligned with the horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the two orthogonal grain lines; 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 for using later stages including a garment/attire creation stage and a try-on stage; grouping a plurality of related panels and creating group landmark lines; and creating the garment by positioning the panels at proper locations, wherein the panel positioning tips comprise discrete body coordinates and panel landmark lines, wherein the discrete body coordinates comprise a 3-tuple (A,B,C), where A, B, C are taken from body parts, longitudes, and latitudes, respectively.
