Claims14
A system for implementing a machine learning (ML)-based method for training a user to label, code, and generate digital three-dimensional garment files that correspond to construction of a physical textile garment with minimization of fabric waste, the system comprising:
- (a) a computing device comprising:
- (i) a processor and a ML engine configured to process historical and real-time user interaction data to facilitate an adaptive refinement of user training processes;
- and
- (ii) a data storage unit communicatively coupled to the processor, the data storage unit storing comprising:
- (1) a digital garment database comprising a pattern, the pattern comprising pattern pieces corresponding to portions of the physical textile garment, wherein the digital garment database is updated based on inputs processed through the ML engine;
- (2) user interaction and training data, wherein the ML engine is configured to process said user interaction and training data, including recorded user progress and error information, to facilitate a dynamic refinement of the training process presented to the user;
- and
- (3) ML models and natural language processing (NLP) data, wherein said ML models are trained to analyze user input to assess user performance and provide feedback aimed at improving pattern recognition and pronunciation related to garment-language processing;
- (b) non-transitory computer-readable media, coupled to the processor, storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, implement:
- (i) a ML-enhanced user interface, configured to:
- (A) provide visual and auditory training instructions to the user in a local language of the user;
- (B) display interactive exercises for digital garment construction to the user and, in response to ML processing of recorded user learning patterns, adjust a difficulty level of said interactive exercises based on the user's learning patterns using ML analysis;
- and
- (C) in response to ML processing of current and prior user input, identify-errors and provide personalized feedback to the user;
- and
- (ii) a sequence of learning modules, wherein user progression through or a configuration of each module is influenced by ML processing of the user's recorded demonstrated proficiency in each of the learning modules, the learning modules comprising:
- (A) a pattern piece identification module, configured to:
- (I) display a visual representation of pattern pieces for identification by the user;
- wherein user selections are verified with assistance from ML-based pattern recognition processing of the visual representation and user selection;
- (II) process pattern piece identifiers using an ML-trained NLP system that refines terminology recognition by correlating user dialect variations with stored garment terminology;
- and
- (III) for each pattern piece:
- prompt the user to recite a spoken name of the pattern piece type in the local language, record the spoken name, and utilize ML-based NLP processing of the recorded spoken name to improve recognition accuracy for garment-related language by comparing the recorded spoken name to stored pronunciation data;
- (B) an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered cutting module, configured to:
- (I) display pattern pieces for layout and provide recommendations for reducing material waste, said recommendations being generated from ML-driven optimization processing that assesses fabric efficiency based on pattern piece geometry and material characteristics;
- (II) provide validation feedback based on ML processing of user selections and pattern arrangements, said feedback indicating incorrect pattern selections and suggesting alternative pattern arrangements derived from learned user behaviors;
- (III) utilize ML-powered data analytics, which learn from past user interactions and stored fabric usage guidelines, to iteratively improve said pattern arrangement optimization processing;
- (C) an ML-enhanced digital assembly module, configured to:
- (I) display a digital three-dimensional garment model with alignment guides, wherein said guides are generated by ML processing of common user error patterns to assist in avoiding such errors before final placement;
- (II) validate pattern piece placement accuracy by comparing user placement to stored garment construction data using ML-based computer processing;
- (III) provide adaptive feedback based on user performance trends, wherein guidance parameters and error detection thresholds are adjusted by ML processing based on the user's proficiency over time;
- wherein the system continuously refines training content, instructional feedback, and garment construction simulations through ML-driven processing of user interaction data, enabling real-time adaptation of training to user proficiency levels and optimizing pattern identification and assembly accuracy for enhancing garment manufacturing efficiency while minimizing fabric waste.
