Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an automated clothing rental kiosk that is capable of offering convenient and automated means for rental of clothing by understanding user needs and environmental conditions, to simplify access to suitable garments and ensuring hygiene and ease of use in busy public places.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The demand for short-term clothing use has increased, especially in tourist areas, where people often arrive without appropriate clothes for the local weather. Travelers may face sudden changes in temperature or weather conditions and may not always have access to the right clothing at the right time. Additionally, people who travel light to avoid carrying extra luggage may prefer temporary clothing solutions rather than purchasing new garments. In such cases, access to a convenient and efficient clothing rental system is helpful. Clothing rental systems allow users to temporarily use garments based on need and return them later.

[0003] Traditionally, clothing rental services are offered through physical shops or outlets, where users must visit the location, browse through available clothes, try them on, and finalize the rental with the help of a shop assistant. This process is time-consuming, involves waiting in queues, and depends heavily on the availability of staff and stock management. Weather-based clothing suggestions are not commonly available, and customers must manually decide which garments suit the local climate. In conventional systems, clothes are tried on manually, which can lead to hygiene concerns, especially in public settings. Also, the process of checking garment conditions is either skipped or carried out manually by employees, leading to inconsistency in quality. Rental tracking is usually done by physical tags or records, which are prone to human error.

[0004] US11556911B2 discloses a equipment rental system comprising a kiosk, the kiosk comprising a user interface configured to receive user input and provide outputs to a user, a processor configured to receive the user input from the user interface, generate user output and control a locker system; and a locker system configured to store the equipment and allow access to the equipment under control of the processor, the processor configured to: receive log in and credential information form a user via the user interface, present the user a choice of equipment, receive a selection of equipment through the user interface, gather payment information from the user through the user interface, wherein the payment information corresponds to a period of use for the selected equipment, and control the locker system to make the selected equipment available to the user.

[0005] US11623823B1 discloses a systems and methods related to kiosks for personalizing a packaged article. The kiosks may also be used for storage, inventory management, retrieval, packaging, and/or personalization of packaged articles. The kiosks discussed herein differ from non-kiosk personalization systems, such as personalization systems installed on a factory or warehouse floor, in that the kiosks are self-contained personalization systems. In some embodiments, the kiosks are portable and can be moved between different sites or events. This portability allows the kiosks to personalize packaged articles for concerts, festivals, conventions, trade shows, and the like.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices have been developed in order to automate equipment or article rental services. However, the devices mentioned in the prior arts have limitations pertaining to lacking functionality to assess clothing fit, perform garment condition checks such as wrinkle or stain detection, or personalize clothing selection based on environmental data. Additionally, these systems do not address hygiene concerns associated with wearable items, nor do they provide options for virtual try-ons or body measurement analysis.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that is required to be capable of offering automated clothing rental by measuring user’s body dimensions, real-time garment assessment, and personalized recommendations based on user preferences and local weather, and supporting contactless interaction, ensuring hygiene, along with tracking garment usage and managing inventory accurately.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The principal object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.

[0009] An object of the present invention is to develop a kiosk that is capable of automatically renting clothing to users in a self-service manner, allowing them to view, select, and finalize garments without the need for human assistance.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to develop a kiosk that is capable of accurately recommending and dispensing clothing options based on the user’s body measurements, preferences, and local weather conditions.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to develop a kiosk that is capable of preparing garments for use by automatically detecting and removing wrinkles and stains, ensuring that the selected clothing is clean and ready to wear.

[0012] Yet another object of the present invention is to develop a kiosk that is capable of providing a seamless rental experience through an interactive means that includes authentication, usage tracking, and real-time clothing availability updates.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to an automated clothing rental kiosk that is capable of providing assistance to a user in renting clothing pieces by guiding through personalized recommendations to improve user experience along with maintaining garment quality without requiring human assistance.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an automated clothing rental kiosk is illustrated, comprises of a rectangular frame 101 divided into a first section 102 and a second section 103 connected by a conveyor belt 104, a 3D LiDAR camera 105 fixed inside the first section 102 of the frame 101, a hanger 106 with a carousel assembly is installed in the first section 102 , equipped with electromagnetic clips 107 and electromagnetic springs 108 attached to the hanger 106, the second section 103 includes a steaming unit 109, a stain removing unit 110 installed via a ball-and-socket 110a includes a soft brush 110b, and integrated nozzles 110c installed mounted on a linear vertical slider 111 using a plurality of pneumatic links 112, an LED display 113 fixed on the outer periphery of the frame 101, a camera 114 mounted over the frame 101, an imaging spectrometer 115 mounted on the linear vertical slider 111, and an augmented reality (AR) module 116 is mounted on the kiosk.

[0023] The present invention includes a rectangular frame 101 that forms the main body of the kiosk, divided into two sections. The first section 102 serves as the clothing storage and selection area, allowing users to browse and choose garments, while the second section 103 is dedicated to finalizing the selected clothes through automatic processing such as fabric testing, pressing, and stain removal.

[0024] A user is required to access and presses a push button arranged on the frame to activate the kiosk for associated processes of the kiosk. The push button when pressed by the user, closes an electrical circuit and allows currents to flow for powering a central processing module of the kiosk for operating of all the linked components for performing their respective functions upon actuation. The central processing module, mentioned herein, is preferably an Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller used herein controls the overall functionality of the linked components. The central processing module embedded with deep learning protocols controls the entire kiosk operation. It processes input from various sensors and cameras, manages inventory data, analyzes user preferences, and automates the garment finalization process to deliver a smooth and efficient rental experience without human intervention.

[0025] A communications module enables seamless data exchange between the kiosk and the mobile application, ensuring synchronization of user preferences, rental status, and promotional activities. This module supports the overall connectivity and responsiveness of the kiosk. The module receives and decodes incoming data from the user's command. The module incorporates error-checking mechanisms to detect and correct data corruption or loss and manages data routing to direct information to the microcontroller.

[0026] The communication module, such as a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) module connects to the microcontroller to wirelessly transfer data to the computing unit, like a smartphone or server, over a Wi-Fi network. The microcontroller sends the data via the Wi-Fi module to a remote server or cloud service using standard communication protocols (such as Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT)).

[0027] A camera 114 is installed to authenticate the user upon interaction with the kiosk. This authentication retrieves the user’s rental history and allows the kiosk’s processing module, embedded with deep learning protocols, to suggest personalized clothing options tailored to the user’s past preferences and body measurements. When the user interacts with the kiosk, the camera 114 captures their facial image and sends this data to the processing module. The processing module, which is embedded with deep learning protocols, compares the captured image with stored user profiles in the database to confirm the user's identity. Upon successful authentication, the kiosk retrieves the user’s rental history, including past clothing selections and preferences.

[0028] The first section 102 houses a 3D Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) camera 105 that accurately measures the user’s body dimensions. The 3D LiDAR camera 105 works by emitting laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for the light to bounce back from the surface of the user's body. This process, known as time-of-flight measurement, helps the kiosk determine precise distances between the camera 105 and various points on the user's body. As the laser scans across the user, it creates a detailed three-dimensional map or point cloud of the body shape. The processing module then processes this point cloud to extract accurate body measurements such as height, shoulder width, waist size, and inseam length. These measurements are used by the kiosk to ensure the clothing selected will fit the user properly, enabling personalized recommendations and reducing the need for manual fitting or physical trials.

[0029] A weather determination module is integrated into the kiosk to provide users with clothing recommendations based on current and forecasted local weather. The determination module includes a temperature sensor integrated on the outer periphery of the kiosk, a GPS unit, and a weather prediction database. The temperature sensor installed on the outer periphery of the kiosk detects the surrounding air temperature. It works by measuring the change in electrical resistance, voltage, or current (depending on the sensor type, such as thermistor, RTD, or thermocouple) in response to ambient temperature. This real-time data allows the kiosk to understand current weather conditions at the kiosk’s location.

[0030] The GPS (Global Positioning System) unit receives signals from multiple satellites orbiting the Earth. By calculating the time it takes for signals to reach the unit from at least four satellites, the GPS module determines the kiosk’s exact geographic location (latitude, longitude, and sometimes altitude). This location data is essential for fetching accurate regional weather forecasts from the weather database.

[0031] This database stores weather forecasts collected from reliable meteorological sources or cloud-based weather APIs. Using the GPS-derived location, the system queries the database to retrieve forecast data such as temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind conditions for the upcoming days or weeks. This information is processed by the kiosk’s system to suggest clothing options suitable for the expected weather.

[0032] The suitable options are displayed via a LED display 113 to assist user in selecting the appropriate clothes. The LED display 113 works by using an array of tiny light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit light when an electric current passes through them. Each LED represents a pixel, and together they form images, text, or video on the screen. The display receives input from the processing module, which generates visual content such as clothing recommendations, weather information, or rental instructions. When the kiosk processes data, it sends visual output instructions to the LED display 113. The display controller interprets these instructions and activates the appropriate LEDs in various colors and brightness levels to form readable and visually appealing graphics and text.

[0033] The LED display 113 located on its outer surface that provides outfit recommendations based on user preferences, displays available sizes and stock counts, shows rental progress in real time, and offers participation in promotional events where users can win rental discount coupons.

[0034] An augmented reality (AR) module 116 is mounted on the kiosk to project lifelike images of selected garments onto a reflective panel. Utilizing data from the 3D LiDAR scans, this module 116 creates customizable projections of clothing on the user’s virtual body model, allowing users to visualize outfits from multiple angles and minimizing the need for physical try-ons. Once the user selects a clothing item, the AR module 116 retrieves a digital version of the garment and maps it onto the user’s 3D body model. This digital outfit is then rendered in real time, simulating the fit, drape, and appearance of the clothing on the user's virtual form. The generated image is projected onto a reflective panel mounted on the kiosk, allowing the user to view a lifelike representation of themselves wearing the chosen garment from multiple angles.

[0035] The selected clothes are stored on a hanger 106 within the first section 102, arranged on a carousel assembly to facilitate easy browsing. The carousel assembly is a rotating arrangement installed within the first section 102 of the kiosk to organize and present clothes in an easily accessible manner. When the user interacts with the kiosk, the carousel rotates horizontally or vertically depending on its design, bringing different sets of clothes into view.

[0036] The arrangement includes an electric motor connected to a drive shaft, which is in turn linked to the carousel track where the hanger 106 are mounted. The processing module sends a command to activate the motor that rotates the shaft or gears, causing the carousel to move and bring the desired hanger 106 into the viewing area. The assembly ensures efficient space utilization and allows users to visually inspect various clothing options in sequence without needing to physically search through them, enhancing convenience and streamlining the selection process.

[0037] Each hanger 106 unit is equipped with electromagnetic clips 107 supported by electromagnetic springs 108, securely holding the clothes in place. The processing module sends a command to activate the electromagnetic coils within the clips 107 create a magnetic force that attracts and clamps onto any ferromagnetic part of the garment or a metal attachment integrated with the clothes. The electromagnetic springs 108 provide tension and flexibility, allowing the clips 107 to open and close smoothly while maintaining a firm grip on the fabric. When the user finalizes their selection and payment, the processing unit cuts off the electric current, deactivating the magnetic field, which releases the clips 107 and allows the clothes to be moved or transported. These clips 107 prevent removal until the user completes payment, and restrict the clothes’ movement during trials, ensuring control over garment handling.

[0038] The second section 103 is installed with linear vertical slider 111 to provide movement to a clothes finalization module. The linear vertical slider 111 consists of a rail or guide track mounted inside the second section 103, along which a carriage or platform slides linearly. The movement is powered by a motor, that drives the carriage vertically. This controlled motion enables precise positioning of components like the steaming unit 109, stain remover, or inspection tools over the clothes, allowing them to perform their functions accurately at different heights.

[0039] The clothes finalization module includes a steaming unit 109 to remove wrinkles, a stain removing unit 110 equipped with nozzles 110c and a soft brush 110b to clean stains, and a fabric inspection unit. The steaming unit 109 works by producing hot steam that is directed onto the fabric to relax fibers and remove wrinkles, restoring a smooth appearance to the clothes. The steam penetrates the fabric gently without causing damage, ensuring the garment looks fresh and well-pressed.

[0040] The stain removing unit 110 includes multiple nozzles 110c that spray specialized cleaning solutions onto stained areas of the fabric. The nozzles 110c in the stain removing unit 110 work by spraying precise amounts of cleaning solution onto targeted areas of the fabric. Each nozzle 110c is connected to a reservoir containing a specific type of cleaning fluid. When the processing module detects a stain, the processing module activates a pump that controls the flow of the cleaning solution through the connected pipes or tubes. The pressurized liquid is then forced through the narrow opening of the nozzle, which converts it into a fine, directed spray.

[0041] These solutions are chosen based on the type of stain and fabric composition. After spraying, a soft brush 110b attached to the unit activates and gently rubs the stained area to loosen and lift the stain without harming the fabric. The soft brush 110b in the stain removing unit 110 works through a motorized mechanism controlled by the kiosk’s processing module. Once the nozzles 110c spray the cleaning solution onto the stained area, the brush 110b is activated to begin the cleaning action. A small electric motor connected to the brush 110b shaft generates rotational or oscillatory motion, depending on the design. This motion causes the bristles of the soft brush 110b to move gently across the fabric surface.

[0042] The brush 110b is typically mounted using a ball-and-socket joint 110a, allowing it to move in multiple directions with flexibility and precision. The brush 110b is mounted on the ball, while the socket is fixed to the frame 101 of the cleaning mechanism. When the motor activates, the ball rotate freely within the socket, enabling the brush 110b to tilt, swivel, and rotate in various directions. This flexible motion lets the brush 110b conform to the shape and contours of the fabric surface, ensuring even pressure and thorough cleaning across curved or uneven areas.

[0043] Each unit is mounted on the slider via a pneumatic link 112 to adjust the length of the units for precise treatment of garments. The pneumatic link 112 is powered by a pneumatic unit that includes an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the link. The microcontroller sends a signal to the pneumatic unit associated with the link 112 that leads to actuation of valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder from one end, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the link 112 and due to applied pressure the link 112 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the link 112 by pushing compressed air via the other end of the cylinder, by opening the corresponding valve resulting in retraction of the piston, and the retraction of the link 112. Thus, the processing module regulates the extension/retraction of the link 112 to position the unit in proximity to the clothes.

[0044] An imaging spectrometer 115 mounted on the linear vertical slider 111, continuously monitors the scanning and treatment of garments as they move along the conveyor. The imaging spectrometer 115 works by capturing both the spatial and spectral information of the garments by breaking down the light reflected off the surface of the garment into its individual wavelengths using optical elements like diffraction gratings or prisms. Each type of material or stain reflects and absorbs light differently across various wavelengths. As the garment moves along the conveyor, the imaging spectrometer 115, scans the fabric line-by-line or area-by-area. It collects detailed spectral data for each pixel or section, creating a spectrum that reveals material characteristics, color accuracy, presence of wrinkles, or contaminants like stains.

[0045] Each garment carries a Bluetooth/RFID tag containing real-time data such as rental history, cleaning status, and stock availability. The RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag contains a microchip and an antenna. The microchip holds the garment’s data, while the antenna enables the tag to communicate wirelessly with the RFID reader installed above the conveyor belt 104. When a garment moves along the conveyor, the reader emits a radio frequency signal that powers the RFID tag (in case of passive RFID) and prompts it to transmit its stored data back to the reader. The reader receives this information and sends it to the processing module for real-time tracking and verification.

[0046] In the case of Bluetooth tags, which are active and powered by a small battery, they periodically broadcast signals containing the garment's data. The Bluetooth-enabled reader detects these signals when the garment passes through its range and decodes the transmitted information.

[0047] The computing unit allows users to upload images of preferred clothing, receive outfit suggestions, select garments, and participate in promotional events. The app also helps users manage and redeem rental discount coupons, enhancing the overall rental experience.

[0048] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the kiosk to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the kiosk.

[0049] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the present invention includes the rectangular frame 101 divided into the first section 102 for clothing selection and the second section 103 for garment finalization. Upon user interaction, the push button activates the central processing module which coordinates all operations. The communications module, including the Wi-Fi module, syncs user data with the mobile application. The camera 114 authenticates users through facial recognition, retrieving past rental history. The 3D LiDAR camera 105 in the first section scans body dimensions, allowing personalized clothing fit. The weather determination module, including the temperature sensor, GPS unit, and weather database, provides weather-based suggestions. These recommendations appear on the LED display 113. The augmented reality (AR) module 116 overlays selected clothes on the user’s virtual model using LiDAR data, projecting the output onto the reflective panel. Selected garments are stored on the hanger units 106 within the carousel assembly powered by the motor and rotated for easy browsing. The electromagnetic clips 107 with the springs 108 secure garments until payment is completed. Clothes then move via the conveyor belt 104 to the second section, where the linear vertical slider 111 and the pneumatic links 112 position the steaming unit 109, the stain removing unit 110 with the nozzles 110c, the brush 110b on the ball-and-socket joint 110a, and the fabric inspection unit for final preparation. The imaging spectrometer 115 monitors garments, while the Bluetooth/RFID tags relay garment data to the reader, ensuring real-time tracking and efficient rental processing.
