[0041] Figure 6 This is an internal structural diagram of a computer device in one embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0043] The beauty device 100 provided in this application embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a detection electrode 101, an excitation electrode 102, and a controller 103. The detection electrode 101 and the excitation electrode 102 can directly contact the skin and act on the skin of the person in contact.

[0044] The number of detection electrodes 101 is unlimited. For example... Figure 2 As shown, there can be two detection electrodes 101, but it is not limited to two; more can be used. Since human skin exhibits different impedances at different frequencies, the number, size, positional distribution, and contact area of ​​the detection electrodes will all affect the detection results. Therefore, the number, size, and positional distribution of the detection electrodes can be set according to actual needs. The working principle of the detection electrodes is to apply an electrical signal of the target frequency to the detection electrodes to detect the skin they are applied to. The specific detection technology used by the detection electrodes is not limited; for example, BIA (Bio-impedance analysis) technology can be used.

[0045] The excitation electrode 102 is used as the excitation output of the beauty device, acting on the skin to perform cosmetic treatments. The working principle of the excitation electrode varies depending on the beauty device. Taking an RF beauty device as an example, the excitation electrode is an RF electrode head. Through radio frequency technology, the RF radio frequency waves output from the RF electrode head directly penetrate deep into the skin tissue, heating collagen. This causes the natural resistance of the subcutaneous tissue to generate heat energy, stimulating collagen proliferation, thereby achieving the purpose of tightening and shrinking the skin.

[0046] The detection electrode 101 is placed close to the excitation electrode 102. The number of excitation electrodes is not limited; there can be two, four, or more. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the four excitation electrodes 102 are evenly distributed, and the detection electrodes 101 are distributed among the four excitation electrodes, which enables the skin area detected by the detection electrodes to be consistent with the skin area acted upon by the excitation electrodes. Thus, the output parameters of the excitation electrodes are determined based on the detection results of the current skin area.

[0047] Both the detection electrode 101 and the excitation electrode 102 are electrically connected to the controller 103. The controller uses the bioimpedance data detected by the detection electrode 101 to determine the skin's condition, and based on this condition, determines the target output parameters of the excitation electrode 102, controlling it to operate at those parameters. Since the output parameters of the excitation electrode 102 are determined based on the detection results of the detection electrode 101, the controller can adjust these parameters in real time according to the bioimpedance data, achieving automatic adjustment of the beauty device's output parameters based on the skin's condition. The target output parameters can be at least one of the following: output frequency, output voltage amplitude, average output power, and control signal duty cycle.

[0048] Specifically, the controller implements a beauty device control method to automatically adjust the output parameters of the beauty device. For example... Figure 3 As shown, a cosmetic control method includes:

[0049] Step 302: Control the application of an electrical signal of the target frequency to the detection electrode of the beauty device.

[0050] To improve the accuracy of the detection, this embodiment employs BIA (Bio-impedance analysis) technology to measure the bioimpedance data of the skin. Human cells are immersed in conductive extracellular fluid, while cells consist of a cell membrane that selectively allows certain ions to pass through, enclosing conductive intracellular fluid. The electrical properties of the extracellular and intracellular fluids are close to resistance, while the cell membrane can be equivalent to capacitance. The equivalent circuit of the human body should be a series-parallel network composed of several resistors and capacitors. Based on this, an electrical signal of a target frequency can be applied using electrodes, and the bioimpedance of the skin can be detected based on the electrical signal.

[0051] Step 304: Obtain the target frequency electrical signal applied to the target skin layer and detect the bioimpedance data of the target skin layer.

[0052] Because non-adipose tissue has lower electrical impedance than adipose tissue, when alternating current is applied to the human body, the current will primarily flow through non-adipose tissue. The proportion of current flowing through intracellular and extracellular pathways depends on the frequency. At low frequencies, due to the presence of cell membrane capacitance, the resistance of the intracellular pathway is quite high, and the current flows almost exclusively through the extracellular pathway. As the current frequency increases, the proportion of current flowing through the intracellular pathway will increase.

[0053] The skin is divided into the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue from the outside in. The subcutaneous tissue is mainly adipose tissue. At low frequencies, the current can only pass through the skin surface. As the current frequency increases, the current can pass through the dermis or adipose layer. Therefore, electrical signals of different frequencies can act on different structural layers of the skin, allowing for the detection of bioimpedance data of the target skin layer.

[0054] Step 306: Determine the skin condition based on the bioimpedance detection data of the target skin layer.

[0055] Specifically, the bioimpedance detection data of the target skin layer can reflect the moisture content, fatty and non-fat content of the target skin layer, and thus determine the skin condition based on the moisture content, fatty and non-fat content of the target skin layer.

[0056] The skin condition is detected in real-time by the detection electrodes, reflecting the state of the skin at the current location when the target frequency electrical signal is applied. It's understandable that the skin condition may change as the location of the beauty device changes during use. For example, the T-zone of the face typically produces more oil than other areas, resulting in different skin impedance. Therefore, the skin condition here refers to the condition of the skin at the location currently being acted upon by the beauty device's detection electrodes. Thus, the skin condition at a specific location can be determined tailored to the location being acted upon. In other words, the skin condition refers to the condition of a particular skin location, not an overall evaluation of the user's skin condition. For the same user, the skin condition can differ at different locations. For instance, the skin condition of the T-zone may differ from that of the cheeks.

[0057] Step 308: Determine the target output parameters of the excitation electrode based on the condition of the skin.

[0058] The target output parameter can be at least one of the following: output frequency, output voltage amplitude, average output power, and control signal duty cycle.

[0059] Among them, the target output parameters are the optimal output parameters for different skin conditions determined by a large number of experiments. Different skin conditions correspond to different target output parameters. The target output parameters are matched with the skin condition and can be adjusted in a targeted manner according to the skin condition to improve the skin condition.

[0060] Step 310: Control the excitation electrodes of the beauty device to operate with the target output parameters.

[0061] Specifically, the excitation electrodes of the beauty device operate with target output parameters to achieve the best beauty effect for the current skin condition.

[0062] Understandably, because this method can specifically determine the skin condition at the location where the beauty device is applied, as the user adjusts the skin location during use, the detection electrodes detect the changing skin condition at that location. The controller then determines the target output parameters suitable for the changed skin location based on the skin condition. This results in different target output parameters for the excitation electrodes at different locations, allowing each location to receive targeted beauty effects tailored to its specific skin condition.

[0063] In this embodiment, since the output parameters of the excitation electrode are determined based on the detection results of the detection electrode, the output parameters of the excitation electrode can be adjusted in real time according to the bioimpedance detection results of the detection electrode, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the output parameters of the beauty device according to the skin condition.

[0064] Considering that different target frequencies of electrical signals affect different skin layers, different target frequencies can be set as needed to determine the skin condition based on the corresponding target skin layer.

[0065] In one embodiment, the target frequency includes a first frequency, and an electrical signal of the first frequency is applied to the skin surface layer, which is the target skin layer. Specifically, the first frequency electrical signal is applied to the detection electrodes of the beauty device, and the first frequency electrical signal is applied to the skin surface layer to detect bioimpedance data of the skin surface layer.

[0066] The first frequency is low-frequency. At low frequencies, due to the presence of cell membrane capacitance, the resistance of the intracellular pathway is quite high, and current can basically only pass through the extracellular pathway, meaning that current cannot pass through the cell. Therefore, at low frequencies, the electrical signal of the first frequency acts on the surface layer of the skin, and the bioimpedance detection data at this time is the impedance of the skin surface layer. Thus, the water content of the skin surface layer can be reflected, and the skin condition can be determined based on the water content of the surface skin.

[0067] In this embodiment, the condition of the skin is determined by bioimpedance detection data of the skin surface.

[0068] Specifically, the skin condition includes skin type. In this embodiment, the skin type is determined based on bioimpedance measurement data of the skin surface. Specifically, different water contents in the skin surface result in different bioimpedance, thus allowing the water content of the skin surface to be inferred from the bioimpedance measurement data, thereby determining the skin type. At least two skin types are defined, each with different target output parameters for the excitation electrode.

[0069] Specifically, impedance thresholds are pre-set for each skin type. The skin type is determined by comparing the bioimpedance data of the skin surface with each impedance threshold. For example, when the bioimpedance data is greater than the impedance threshold, the skin type is determined to be type 1; when the bioimpedance data is less than or equal to the impedance threshold, the skin type is determined to be type 2.

[0070] In this embodiment, by controlling the detection electrode to detect the bioimpedance data of the skin surface at a first frequency, the skin type is determined based on the bioimpedance data of the skin surface. This allows the output of the excitation electrode to be adjusted according to the skin type, so that the output of the excitation electrode matches the skin type, and the output of the beauty device can be automatically adjusted for different skin types.

[0071] Among them, the bioimpedance of the skin layer can be calculated by detecting the current passing through the skin by the electrical signal of the first frequency, and different currents can correspond to different skin types.

[0072] In one embodiment, skin types can be classified into dry skin, combination skin, oily skin, and normal skin. The bioimpedance corresponding to dry skin, combination skin, oily skin, and normal skin decreases in that order: the bioimpedance of dry skin > the bioimpedance of combination skin > the bioimpedance of oily skin > the bioimpedance of normal skin.

[0073] Correspondingly, a first impedance threshold is set to determine whether the skin type of the surface layer is dry, a second impedance threshold is set to determine whether the skin type of the surface layer is combination, a third impedance threshold is set to determine whether the skin type of the surface layer is oily, and a fourth impedance threshold is set to determine whether the skin type of the surface layer is neutral. Wherein, the first impedance threshold > the second impedance threshold > the third impedance threshold > the fourth impedance threshold.

[0074] By comparing the bioimpedance data of the skin surface with various impedance thresholds, the skin type can be determined. For example, if the bioimpedance data of the skin surface is greater than the first impedance threshold, the skin type can be determined to be dry. If the bioimpedance data of the skin surface is greater than the second impedance threshold but less than the first impedance threshold, the skin type can be determined to be combination.

[0075] Correspondingly, the target output parameters for dry, combination, oily, and normal skin types are different. For example, the output power for dry, combination, oily, and normal skin types is different, thus providing different stimulation based on the different skin types and improving the cosmetic effect.

[0076] Specifically, if the skin type is determined to be dry, it indicates that the user's skin is dehydrated and cracked. By increasing the output power of the excitation electrode, the skin's absorption of moisture can be promoted. If the skin type is determined to be oily, it indicates that the user's oily skin leads to clogged pores, affecting normal skin respiration and metabolism, which in turn causes inflammation and acne, indicating sensitive skin. By reducing the output parameters of the excitation electrode, excessive power can be used to prevent further irritation and exacerbation of inflammation.

[0077] In another embodiment, the target frequency includes a second frequency, and the electrical signal of the second frequency acts on the deep skin layer, which is the target skin layer. Specifically, the second frequency electrical signal is applied to the detection electrodes of the beauty device, and the second frequency electrical signal acts on the deep skin layer to detect bioimpedance data of the deep skin layer.

[0078] The deep skin layers include the dermis and / or the fat layer. As the current frequency increases, the proportion of current passing through intracellular pathways increases; that is, with increasing current frequency, the current can penetrate cells and detect the dermis or fat layer. Therefore, the second frequency can be a mid-frequency, in which case the electrical signal of the second frequency can act on the dermis. The second frequency can also be a high-frequency, in which case the electrical signal of the second frequency can act on the fat layer. It should be noted that the low, mid, and high frequencies in this embodiment are not the commonly defined high, medium, and low frequency bands in the industry, but rather relative definitions. For example, a low frequency can be 50 Hz, a mid-frequency can be 100 kHz, and a high frequency can be 500 kHz.

[0079] When a second-frequency electrical signal is applied to the dermis of the skin, the bioimpedance of the cells at the second frequency can be measured to determine the protein content; the lower the impedance, the higher the protein content.

[0080] When a second-frequency electrical signal is applied to the fat layer of the skin, the bioimpedance of the fat is measured at the second frequency. Fat is a poor conductor, and its content can be determined by its water content. Because fat contains little water, it has poor conductivity and high impedance; higher impedance indicates a higher fat content.

[0081] Therefore, a mid-frequency second frequency can be applied to the detection electrode, acting on the dermis of the skin. The bioimpedance data of the dermis determines its composition, and the skin's condition includes the composition of the dermis. Alternatively, a high-frequency second frequency can be applied to the detection electrode, acting on the fat layer of the skin. The bioimpedance data of the fat layer determines its composition, and the skin's condition includes the composition of the fat layer. Another approach is to apply a mid-frequency second frequency followed by a high-frequency second frequency. The mid-frequency second frequency acts on the dermis, and the bioimpedance data of the dermis is obtained. The high-frequency second frequency acts on the fat layer, and the bioimpedance data of the fat layer is also obtained. The bioimpedance data of both the dermis and fat layers determines their composition, and the skin's condition includes the composition of both layers.

[0082] In this embodiment, by controlling the detection electrode to detect the bioimpedance data of the deep skin layer at a second frequency, the component content of the deep skin layer is determined based on the bioimpedance data of the deep skin layer. Thus, the output of the excitation electrode can be adjusted according to the component content of the deep skin layer, so that the output of the excitation electrode matches the component content of the deep skin layer. For different component content of the deep skin layer, that is, for the state of the deep skin layer, the output of the beauty device can be automatically adjusted.

[0083] Specifically, the composition of the deep layers of the skin includes the protein content of the dermis and / or the fat content of the adipose layer; the higher the protein content of the dermis, the lower the corresponding target power parameter, and the higher the fat content of the adipose layer, the higher the corresponding target power parameter.

[0084] For example, when detecting with a mid-frequency electrical signal at the second frequency, such as 100kHz, the current primarily flows from inside the cell and can penetrate into the dermis. Measuring the intracellular impedance at this frequency reveals the protein content in the dermis; lower impedance indicates higher protein content. When detecting with a high-frequency electrical signal at the second frequency, such as 500kHz, the current can penetrate into the fat layer. Fat is a poor conductor, and its content can be determined by its water content. Because fat contains little water and has poor conductivity, it has high impedance; higher impedance indicates higher fat content.

[0085] The output parameters of the excitation electrode can be adjusted according to the protein content of the dermis or the fat content of the adipose layer. Specifically, the higher the protein content in the dermis, the lower the target power parameter; conversely, the higher the fat content in the adipose layer, the higher the target power parameter. In other words, for dermal proteins, the protein content is inversely proportional to the target adjustment parameter, e.g., the protein content is inversely proportional to the adjustment power. For adipose tissue, the fat content is directly proportional to the target adjustment parameter, e.g., the fat content is directly proportional to the adjustment power.

[0086] In this embodiment, the protein content of the dermis or the fat content of the adipose layer is detected, thereby providing different stimuli based on the protein content of the dermis or the fat content of the adipose layer to enhance the cosmetic effect.

[0087] The above implementation methods can either use only the first frequency to measure the skin texture of the superficial skin to obtain the skin condition, or use only the second frequency to measure the component content of the deeper skin layers to obtain the skin condition. A more preferred method is to combine the first or second frequency, and determine the skin condition based on the skin texture of the superficial skin, the component content of the dermis and / or the fat layer. This method considers not only the condition of the superficial skin but also the condition of the deeper skin layers, resulting in a better conditioning effect.

[0088] Specifically, acquiring target frequency electrical signals applied to the target skin layer and detecting the bioimpedance data of the target skin layer includes: acquiring first frequency electrical signals applied to the skin surface layer and detecting first bioimpedance data of the skin surface layer; acquiring at least one second frequency electrical signals applied to the dermis and / or fat layer and detecting at least one second bioimpedance data of the dermis and / or fat layer.

[0089] Correspondingly, the skin condition is determined based on the bioimpedance detection data of the target skin layer, including: determining the skin condition based on the first bioimpedance detection data of the skin surface layer and at least one second bioimpedance detection data of the dermis and / or fat layer.

[0090] Specifically, the target frequency includes a first frequency and at least one second frequency. That is, the impedance of the skin surface can be detected by first applying the first frequency to the detection electrode to obtain first bioimpedance detection data, and then at least one second frequency can be applied to the detection electrode to obtain at least one second bioimpedance detection data.

[0091] For processing the second-frequency electrical signal, one approach is to apply an intermediate-frequency second frequency to the detection electrode, then measure the impedance of the dermis to obtain a second bioimpedance impedance data point. Another approach is to apply a high-frequency second frequency to the detection electrode, then measure the impedance of the adipose layer to obtain a second bioimpedance impedance data point. A third approach is to first apply an intermediate-frequency second frequency, then apply a high-frequency second frequency, then measure the impedance of both the dermis and adipose layer to obtain two second bioimpedance impedance data points.

[0092] Correspondingly, the target skin layer includes the epidermis, dermis, and / or fat layer. In other words, in this embodiment, the impedance of the epidermis, dermis, and / or fat layer can be combined to consider not only the state of the surface skin but also the state of the deep skin, and to determine the corresponding target output parameters so that the overall skin condition is optimized and has better cosmetic power.

[0093] Specifically, determining the state of the skin based on first bioimpedance detection data of the skin surface and at least one second bioimpedance detection data of the dermis and / or fat layer includes: obtaining impedance amplitude and phase based on the first bioimpedance detection data of the skin surface and at least one second bioimpedance detection data of the dermis and / or fat layer; and determining the state of the skin based on the impedance amplitude and phase.

[0094] Taking a second-frequency electrical signal as a single example, firstly, the detection electrodes of the beauty device are controlled to apply a first-frequency electrical signal to obtain the first bioimpedance data X of the skin surface. Then, the detection electrodes of the beauty device are controlled to apply a second-frequency electrical signal to obtain the second bioimpedance data of the dermis or fat layer. Specifically, if the second frequency is mid-frequency, the obtained data is the second bioimpedance data of the dermis; if the second frequency is high-frequency, the obtained data is the second bioimpedance data of the fat layer.

[0095] Based on the first bioimpedance detection data X and the second bioimpedance detection data Y, the impedance amplitude and phase can be obtained.

[0096] in,

[0097] The first bioimpedance detection data is mainly generated through the moisture content of the surface skin, while the second bioimpedance detection data is mainly generated through the capacitance of the cell membrane.

[0098] in,

[0099] The phase angle can confirm the proportion of the second bioimpedance detection data in the total impedance, thereby confirming the composition of the human body.

[0100] The skin condition can be further determined based on the impedance amplitude and phase. For example, the impedance amplitude and phase can be compared with corresponding thresholds to determine the skin condition.

[0101] In this embodiment, the impedance amplitude and phase are calculated using the first bioimpedance detection data of the surface skin and the second bioimpedance detection data of the dermis or fat layer. The skin condition is determined based on the impedance amplitude and phase, thereby providing a way to determine the skin condition based on the impedance of the skin surface and the impedance of the dermis or fat layer.

[0102] To achieve comprehensive skin detection, the beauty device can first apply a first frequency electrical signal to the detection electrodes to detect the first bioimpedance data X of the skin surface. Then, a mid-frequency second frequency electrical signal is applied to the detection electrodes, followed by a high-frequency second frequency electrical signal. The second bioimpedance data Y includes the bioimpedance data of the dermis obtained from the mid-frequency electrical signal and the bioimpedance data of the fat layer obtained from the high-frequency electrical signal.

[0103] in,

[0104] The first bioimpedance detection data is mainly generated through the moisture content of the surface skin, while the second bioimpedance detection data is mainly generated through the capacitance of the cell membrane.

[0105] in,

[0106] The phase angle can confirm the proportion of the second bioimpedance detection data in the total impedance, thereby confirming the composition of the human body.

[0107] In practical applications of beauty devices, burns can occur if the excitation electrodes remain in contact with the same area of ​​skin for an extended period. Traditionally, this is addressed by adding a temperature sensor or position sensor between the excitation electrodes. However, both of these methods require additional detection equipment, increasing costs.

[0108] In this embodiment, a low-cost detection method is provided to address the risk of burns caused by prolonged contact of the excitation electrode with the same location.

[0109] Specifically, when BIA detects the skin impedance value at the same location on the face in real time, the returned skin impedance is a stable value. Therefore, based on the changes in bioimpedance data, it can be determined whether the beauty device has been applied to the same location on the skin for an extended period. If it has been applied to the same location on the skin for a long time, the output parameters can be adjusted to prevent burns.

[0110] This method utilizes the BIA (Biological Impedance Analysis) detection principle. BIA detection uses an electrode system on the skin's surface to deliver a small alternating current or voltage to the subject, detecting the corresponding impedance and its changes to represent relevant human information. The peak value of the response current is used as a detection parameter to measure the skin's moisture content. The response current does not immediately reach its maximum value; it requires the BIA detection electrodes to be in contact with the skin for a period of time to detect the most stable value. The rise time of the curve is approximately 1 second, and the final stable value is reached in about 2.5 seconds. The shape and speed of the rise curve are related to the electrode's contact with the skin, and the final stable maximum value of the curve generally remains unchanged for the same skin area. Therefore, when the measured bioimpedance data remains unchanged, it indicates that the beauty device has been fixed at the detection position for a period of time, thus determining whether the excitation electrode of the beauty device has remained at one skin location for an extended period.

[0111] If the bioimpedance data detected for a continuous preset duration are all the same, it can be determined that the beauty device has been applied to the same location for an extended period, and the device should be stopped. Alternatively, if the bioimpedance data detected for a continuous preset duration are all the same, it can be determined that the beauty device has been applied to the same location for an extended period, and the output parameters of the beauty device should be reduced. Both methods allow for adjustment of the operating parameters of the excitation electrode when prolonged application to the same location is detected, preventing skin burns.

[0112] Now, taking an RF beauty device as an example, we will explain the control method of the beauty device.

[0113] The RF beauty device uses a BIA electrode head as the detection electrode and an RF electrode head as the excitation electrode. Both the BIA and RF electrode heads are electrically connected to the controller 103. Figure 4 As shown, the controller 103 includes a BIA detection module, an RF power output module, and a control module. The BIA detection module applies an electrical signal of a target frequency to the BIA electrode head. The target frequency can be at least one of low frequency, medium frequency, and high frequency. After the BIA electrode head contacts the skin, it forms a circuit and detects the bioimpedance data of the skin at different frequencies. The BIA detection module sends the detected bioimpedance data to the control module. The control module determines the skin state and the target output parameters corresponding to the skin state based on the bioimpedance data. The control module sends the target output parameters to the RF power output module, which controls the RF electrode head of the RF beauty device to operate at the target output parameters.

[0114] The method of determining the skin state based on bioimpedance data obtained from at least one of low-frequency, mid-frequency, and high-frequency detection has been described in the previous embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0115] Meanwhile, BIA detection also determines whether the beauty device has been left in the same position on the skin for an extended period of time based on changes in the detected bioimpedance data. If it is determined that the beauty device has been left in the same position on the skin for an extended period of time, the device will be stopped or its output parameters will be reduced to prevent the skin from being burned.

[0116] This RF beauty device uses a controller to adjust the output parameters of the RF electrode head in real time according to the skin condition, improving both adjustment efficiency and beauty efficacy. It also prevents skin burns.
