[0037] Figure 1 is a structural block diagram of a beauty device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In addition, Figure 2 is a front upper perspective view of a beauty device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 is a rear lower perspective view of a beauty device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] The beauty device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is for a user to directly perform beauty operations on his own skin. That is, the user can directly perform beauty operations by bringing the beauty device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention into contact with his own skin. For example, the beauty device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can perform high-frequency massage, laser hair removal, etc. In addition, an adsorption function for adsorbing and stimulating the skin can also be provided additionally.

[0039] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the beauty device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a main body 110, a direction indicating portion 120, a displacement sensing portion 130, a control portion 140, and a warning output portion 150.

[0040] The main body 110 has a shape that can contact a predetermined area of the user's skin. Structures for beauty operations can be configured on the main body 110. For example, structures for performing high-frequency emission or laser irradiation (not shown) can be configured on the main body 110. In addition, structures for providing an adsorption function for adsorbing and stimulating the user's skin (not shown) can also be configured on the main body 110.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main body 110 includes a first part 111 and a second part 112. The first part 111 is configured such that its lower side contacts the user's skin and has a structure for beauty operations, and the second part 112 is connected to the upper side of the first part 111 for the user to grasp. At this time, the first part 111 may be configured in a cylindrical shape, and the second part 112 may have an arch shape. When the first part 111 is configured in a cylindrical shape, the uniformity of contact with the user's skin can be improved. In addition, the user can easily move the main body 110 while grasping the second part 112, and can appropriately press the first part 111 toward the user's skin side.

[0042] A plurality of direction indicating parts 120 are arranged on the main body 110 to respectively indicate different directions. In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of direction indicating parts 120 may be respectively arranged at least in front of, behind, on the left side, and on the right side of the main body 110. That is to say, the plurality of direction indicating parts 120 may include: a first direction indicating part 121 indicating the front direction of the main body 110, a second direction indicating part 122 indicating the rear direction of the main body 110, a third direction indicating part 123 indicating the left side direction of the main body 110, and a fourth direction indicating part 124 indicating the right side direction of the main body 110.

[0043] Each of the plurality of direction indicating parts 120 may include at least one direction indicating light source. That is to say, the plurality of direction indicating parts 120 can indicate directions by the light irradiated by the light source.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first direction indicating part 121 may include two direction indicating light sources. For example, the first direction indicating part 121 may include a first-one direction indicating light source 121a and a first-two direction indicating light source 121b. More specifically, the first-one direction indicating light source 121a may be arranged on the upper front side of the first part 111 of the main body 110. In addition, the first-two direction indicating light source 121b may be arranged below the first-one direction indicating light source 121a.

[0045] The first-one direction indicating light source 121a can indicate the front part of the main body 110 by emitting light or flashing. In addition, the first-two direction indicating light source 121b can emit light with directivity toward the direction to be indicated. For example, the first-two direction indicating light source 121b can emit linear light toward the front of the main body 110.

[0046] On the other hand, one or more of the plurality of direction indicating parts 120 may include a direction indicating light source that irradiates the user's skin with light indicating the direction. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first-two direction indicating light source 121b may also irradiate the user's skin located on the front side of the main body 110 with light.

[0047] At this time, the first-second direction indicates that the light source 121b can irradiate light having a predetermined shape (eg, an arrow shape) toward the user's skin, so that the user can visually confirm the direction in which the main body 110 can move or the direction in which the main body 110 moves.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first direction indicating unit 121 includes all of the first-first direction indicating light source 121a and the first-second direction indicating light source 121b, but this is only an example. In a modified example according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first direction indicating unit 121 may also include only any one of the first-first direction indicating light source 121a and the first-second direction indicating light source 121b.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, similar to the first direction indicating unit 121, the second direction indicating unit 122 to the fourth direction indicating unit 124 may also include two direction indicating light sources, respectively. In more detail, the second direction indicating unit 122 may include a second-first direction indicating light source 122a and a second-second direction indicating light source 122b, wherein the second-first direction indicating light source 122a is disposed at the rear portion of the main body 110 to indicate the rear portion of the main body 110 by emitting light or flashing, and the second-second direction indicating light source 122b is disposed at the rear portion of the main body 110 and may irradiate linear light directed to the rear of the main body 110 or light directed to the user's skin located at the rear of the main body 110. In addition, the third direction indicating unit 123 may include a third-first direction indicating light source 123a and a third-second direction indicating light source 123b, wherein the third-first direction indicating light source 123a is disposed at the left side portion of the main body 110 to indicate the left side portion of the main body 110 by emitting light or flashing, and the third-second direction indicating light source 123b is disposed at the left side portion of the main body 110 and can irradiate linear light directed to the left side of the main body 110 or light directed to the user's skin located on the left side of the main body 110. The fourth direction indicating unit 124 may include a fourth-first direction indicating light source 124a and a fourth-second direction indicating light source 124b, wherein the fourth-first direction indicating light source 124a is disposed at the right side portion of the main body 110 to indicate the right side portion of the main body 110 by emitting light or flashing, and the fourth-second direction indicating light source 124b is disposed at the right side portion of the main body 110 and can irradiate linear light directed to the right side of the main body 110 or light directed to the user's skin located on the right side of the main body 110.

[0050] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a diagram exemplarily showing directions indicated by a direction indicating unit of a beauty device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] Reference Figure 4, when the direction in which the main body 110 of the beauty device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be or is being moved is the front of the main body 110, the first-direction indicating light source 121a of the first-direction indicating unit 121 disposed in front of the main body 110 can emit light or flash. In addition, the first-second direction indicating light source 121b can irradiate light toward the user's skin located in front of the main body 110. At this time, the light irradiated by the first-second direction indicating light source 121b can have an arrow shape.

[0052] The displacement sensing unit 130 is disposed in the main body 110 and senses the displacement of the main body 110 during a beauty operation. The displacement sensing unit 130 can include any one or more of an inertial sensor, a gyro sensor, and an acceleration sensor. The displacement sensing unit 130 senses the displacement of the main body 110 after the start of the beauty operation and provides it to the control unit 140. Based on the information sensed by the displacement sensing unit 130, the control unit 140 can judge the path traveled by the main body 110 after the start of the beauty operation, the relative positional relationship between the beauty operation start position and the current main body 110, and the like.

[0053] The control unit 140 is disposed in the main body 110 and controls the plurality of direction indicating units 120 to indicate any one or more of the directions in which the main body 110 can be moved and the directions in which the main body 110 is being moved during a beauty operation. The control unit 140 can include one or more processors, storage elements, etc. that can execute data storage and processing.

[0054] For example, when the direction indicating unit 120 includes a direction indicating light source, the control unit 140 can execute control to cause the direction indicating light source indicating the direction to be indicated to emit light or flash, while the direction indicating light sources indicating other directions remain off. Accordingly, the user can identify the direction in which the main body 110 can be moved or is being moved through the light irradiated by the light source.

[0055] The control unit 140 can determine the direction in which the main body 110 can be moved according to the sensing information of the displacement sensing unit 130 to prevent the main body 110 from performing repeated operations on the same area of the skin S during a beauty operation. As described above, the beauty device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can perform high-frequency emission or laser irradiation on the user's skin S. However, in the case of excessive high-frequency emission or laser irradiation on the same area of the skin S, side effects such as burns and pigmentation may occur. To prevent such side effects, the control unit 140 can determine the direction in which the main body 110 can be moved so as to avoid repeated operations on the same area of the skin S during a beauty operation. To inform the user of the direction in which the main body 110 can be moved thus determined, the control unit 140 controls the direction indicating unit 120.

[0056] In this regard, the control unit 140 can accumulate the displacement of the main body 110 after the start of the beauty operation is judged. The control unit 140 calculates the relative position between the start position of the beauty operation and the current position of the main body 110 by using the sensing information of the displacement sensing unit 130. Based on this, when the direction in which the main body 110 moves to the area of the user's skin S where the beauty operation has been performed is determined as a direction that the main body 110 cannot perform, the direction that can avoid the main body 110 from performing repeated operations on the same area of the skin S can be determined as a direction that the main body 110 can perform.

[0057] The control unit 140 is such that when it is judged that the main body 110 repeats the operation on the same area of the user's skin S, a warning signal can be generated. The warning signal is generated in the form of a control signal for the direction display unit 120 and a control signal for the warning output unit 150 described later.

[0058] At this time, when the warning signal is generated in the form of a control signal for the direction display unit 120, the control unit 140 can control the direction display unit 120 to output the warning signal. For example, the control unit 140 can control the direction display unit 120 to flash all the light sources included in the direction display unit 120 at a predetermined period according to the warning signal.

[0059] The control unit 140 is to accumulate and judge the number of repeated operations on the same area of the skin S. As the number of repeated operations on the same area increases, one or more of the intensity and frequency of the warning signal can be increased. For example, the control unit 140 is such that when it is judged that the user repeats the operation on a predetermined area of the skin S 2 times during the beauty operation, a warning signal with relatively low intensity or low frequency is generated; when it is judged that the operation on the predetermined area is repeated 3 times or more, a warning signal with high intensity or high frequency can be generated.

[0060] The control unit 140 is such that when the body part of the user performing the beauty operation is the first part, it judges whether there is a repeated operation on the same area with relatively high accuracy; when the body part is the second part, it can judge whether there is a repeated operation on the same area with relatively low accuracy. For example, the first part includes the user's face, and the second part can include any one or more of the user's thigh, abdomen, and buttock parts.

[0061] The user's face has a thin skin thickness and is a part that has a greater impact on daily life in the case of leaving scars due to burns, etc. Such a relatively sensitive body part of the user can be classified as the first part. When performing a beauty operation on the first part, the control unit 140 judges whether there is a repeated operation with relatively high accuracy, provides an accurate warning for the repeated operation, and thus can minimize the side effects.

[0062] In contrast, the user's thighs, buttocks, etc. have relatively thick skin thickness, and the impact on daily life is relatively small when side effects occur. Thus, the relatively insensitive body parts of the user can be classified as the second part. When performing a beauty operation on the first part, the control unit 140 determines whether to repeat the operation with relatively low accuracy, and then provides a relatively less strict warning for the repeated operation, so that the beauty operation can be performed as much as possible along the path desired by the user.

[0063] On the other hand, the control unit 140 uses the sensing information of the displacement sensing unit 130 to determine the direction of movement of the user's main body 110 during the beauty operation, and can also control the direction display unit 120 to inform the user of the direction of movement of the main body 110. Through this control of the control unit 140, the direction display unit corresponding to the direction in which the main body 110 is moving indicates the direction, and the user can receive feedback on the moving direction of the main body 110.

[0064] The warning output unit 150 outputs the warning signal according to the control of the control unit 140. As described above, the warning signal generated by the control unit 140 can also be generated in the form of a control signal for the direction display unit 120, or can be generated in other forms. For example, the warning signal may include any one or more of vibration and sound. The warning output unit 150 can output the warning signal in the above form.

[0065] Refer to Figure 2 , the warning output unit 150 can be a speaker. In this case, the warning signal can have the form of an audio or voice notification. On the other hand, the warning signal can have the form of vibration. In this case, the warning output unit 150 can be a vibrator.

[0066] Hereinafter, an operation example of the beauty device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0067] Figure 5 FIG. is an exemplary diagram showing the operation in the normal mode of a beauty device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0068] Refer to Figure 5 , the beauty device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention performs a beauty operation on the user's skin S. The beauty device 100 is located at the current fourth position P4 on the user's skin S, starting from the start position P0 where the beauty operation starts, passing through the first position P1, the second position P2, and the third position P3. The control unit 140 determines the next available direction of the beauty device 100 at the fourth position P4.

[0069] At the fourth position P4, with respect to the direction of the main body 110 of the beauty device 100, the front of the main body 110 and the left side of the main body 110 are areas where beauty operations have been performed. If the beauty device 100 moves from the fourth position P4 to the front or the left side of the main body 110, the operations for the first position P1 or the third position P3 are repeated. Therefore, the directions in which the main body 110 can move after the beauty operation at the fourth position P4 can be determined as the rear or the right side of the main body 110. The control unit 140, based on this determination, controls the second direction display unit 122 indicating the rear of the main body 110 and the fourth direction display unit 124 indicating the right side of the main body 110, and can inform the user to move the beauty device 100 to the rear or the right side of the main body 110.

[0070] On the other hand, when the beauty device 100 is moved by the user from the fourth position P4 to the front or the left side direction of the main body 110, the control unit 140 can generate a warning signal. The generated warning signal can be output through the direction display unit 120 or the warning output unit 150.

[0071] Figure 6 It is a diagram exemplarily showing the operation in the active mode of a beauty device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the active mode is a mode in which the direction of movement of the main body 110 is actively guided during the beauty operation.

[0072] In the active mode, the control unit 140 receives a set path for the main body 110 to move while avoiding repeated operations on the same area of the user's skin S during the beauty operation, and can control the plurality of direction display units 120 according to the set path and the sensing information of the displacement sensing unit 130 to indicate the direction in which the main body 110 is to move during the beauty operation.

[0073] Refer to Figure 6 For the beauty operation on a predetermined area of the user's skin S, the set path R is set to start from the beauty operation start position P0, pass through the first position P1 to the seventh position P7, and reach the eighth position P8. The control unit 140 controls the plurality of direction display units 120 based on this set path R to guide the movement path of the beauty device 100 during the beauty operation.

[0074] First, in order to guide the operation to the first position P1 on the front side of the main body 110 after performing the beauty operation at the beauty operation start position P0, the control unit 140 controls the first direction display unit 121 arranged in front of the main body 110 to indicate the front direction of the main body 110.

[0075] Then, in order to guide the operation to the second position P2 on the front side of the main body 110 after performing the beauty operation at the first position P1, the control unit 140 controls the first direction indicating unit 121 disposed in front of the main body 110 to indicate the front direction of the main body 110.

[0076] In addition, in order to guide the operation to the third position P3 on the right side of the main body 110 after performing the beauty operation at the second position P2, the control unit 140 controls the fourth direction indicating unit 124 disposed on the right side portion of the main body 110 to indicate the right direction of the main body 110.

[0077] In addition, in order to guide the operation to the fourth position P4 on the right side of the main body 110 after performing the beauty operation at the third position P3, the control unit 140 controls the fourth direction indicating unit 124 disposed on the right side portion of the main body 110 to indicate the right direction of the main body 110.

[0078] In addition, in order to guide the operation to the fifth position P5 on the rear side of the main body 110 after performing the beauty operation at the fourth position P4, the control unit 140 controls the second direction indicating unit 122 disposed on the rear side portion of the main body 110 to indicate the rear direction of the main body 110.

[0079] In addition, in order to guide the operation to the sixth position P6 on the left side of the main body 110 after performing the beauty operation at the fifth position P5, the control unit 140 controls the third direction indicating unit 123 disposed on the left side portion of the main body 110 to indicate the left direction of the main body 110.

[0080] In addition, in order to guide the operation to the seventh position P7 on the rear side of the main body 110 after performing the beauty operation at the sixth position P6, the control unit 140 controls the second direction indicating unit 122 disposed on the rear side portion of the main body 110 to indicate the rear direction of the main body 110.

[0081] Finally, in order to guide the operation to the eighth position P8 on the right side of the main body 110 after performing the beauty operation at the seventh position P7, the control unit 140 controls the fourth direction indicating unit 124 disposed on the right side portion of the main body 110 to indicate the right direction of the main body 110.

[0082] As described above, the control unit 140 guides the traveling direction of the beauty device 100 according to the set path R, thereby avoiding the user from performing repeated operations on the same area of the skin S and enabling the beauty operation to be safely performed.

[0083] When the beauty device 100 moves beyond the direction of repeating operations in the same area of the user's skin S according to the guidance of the set path R in the active mode, the control unit 140 may generate a warning signal. The generated warning signal may be output through any one or more of the direction display unit 120 and the warning output unit 150.

[0084] On the other hand, for the active mode as described above, the beauty device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a storage unit 160, which is disposed in the main body 110 and stores one or more of the set paths preset according to the set criteria. The storage unit 160 may be composed of various storage elements that store one or more set paths.

[0085] In addition, the beauty device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a communication unit 170, which is disposed in the main body 110 and receives the set path from an external terminal. For example, the communication unit 170 may receive the set path from a mobile terminal such as a smart phone through a short-range wireless communication method.
