[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] <Overall Structure> Figure 1 This is an overall structural diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention. The parsing system 1 includes a terminal device 10 and a parsing device 20. The terminal device 10 and the parsing device 20 can send and receive data to each other via any network. The following describes each part.

[0023] <<Terminal Devices>> Terminal device 10 is a device that sends information about the target area and an image of the subject 11 to the analysis device 20, and obtains and displays analysis results (specifically, at least one of the image of the subject 11 and information about the subject 11's body (specifically, information extracted from the image of the subject 11)) from the analysis device 20. Furthermore, the analysis results include the latest analysis results and past analysis results. For example, terminal device 10 is a tablet computer, personal computer, smartphone, etc., equipped with shooting function (camera function) and display function (display function). For example, terminal device 10 is installed in a store.

[0024] <<Analytical Device>> The parsing device 20 is an apparatus that, according to the regulations of the target region, causes the terminal device 10 to display at least one of the parsing results of the physical state of the target 11 (specifically, at least one of an image of the target 11 and information about the body of the target 11 (specifically, information extracted from the image of the target 11)). Furthermore, the parsing results include the latest parsing results and past parsing results. For example, the parsing device 20 is a server.

[0025] In addition, the terminal device 10 may also perform part or all of the processes performed by the parsing device 20 as described in this specification.

[0026] The terminology used in this specification is explained here.

[0027] [Analysis] "Analysis" refers to any analysis of the human body (also known as analysis, diagnosis, or assessment). For example, "analysis" can be an analysis of skin condition. "Analysis" includes the analysis of physical condition (which is not limited to skin condition but can also include health condition, etc.) and the analysis of psychological state (such as mood, emotion, and feelings).

[0028] [area] A “region” is any area that is divided. For example, a “region” can be a country, but it is not limited to this. It can also be a region composed of multiple countries, or a region that is a state within a country.

[0029] [Regulation] "Regulations" are laws enacted in various regions (such as laws concerning the protection of personal information). "Regulations" specifically address the retention (whether data can be retained, the retention period, etc.) of data acquired by the analysis device 20 for body analysis. More specifically, "Regulations" refer to whether images of the subject and information about the subject's body (specifically, information extracted from images of the subject) can be retained.

[0030] [Information about the target region] "Information about the target region" indicates which region's regulations the parsing device 20 should comply with.

[0031] For example, "object region information" is an ID assigned to each terminal device 10 during its manufacturing (specifically, an ID assigned to each piece of hardware. Furthermore, it is assumed that the parsing device 20 associates and manages the ID assigned to each terminal device 10 with the region).

[0032] For example, "the information about the target region" is an ID set by the beauty consultants of the store in an application (an application for analyzing body status) installed on the terminal device 10 (specifically, an ID assigned to each store. Furthermore, it is assumed that the analysis device 20 associates and manages the ID assigned to each store with the region).

[0033] For example, "target region information" is the region information set by the beauty consultants of the store in the application (an application for analyzing body condition) installed on the terminal device 10.

[0034] For example, "the information of the target area" is the location information of the terminal device 10 (such as the location information of GPS (Global Positioning System)).

[0035] [Taking images of people with partners] "Taking an image of a subject" means taking an image of part or all of the subject's body. For example, "taking an image of a subject" means taking an image of the subject's face (which may also include the neck). For example, "taking an image of a subject" means taking an image of only a part of the face (such as the eyes and their surroundings, or the cheeks and their surroundings).

[0036] <Functional Block Diagram> Figure 2 This is a functional block diagram of the parsing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] [Terminal Device] The terminal device 10 may include a camera unit 101, a region information sending unit 102, an image sending unit 103, a member number sending unit 104, a target user setting unit 105, and a display unit 106. Furthermore, by executing a program, the terminal device 10 can function as the camera unit 101, the region information sending unit 102, the image sending unit 103, the member number sending unit 104, the target user setting unit 105, and the display unit 106.

[0038] The camera unit 101 captures the subject 11 (e.g., the subject 11's face).

[0039] The area information sending unit 102 sends information about the target area to the parsing device 20. In addition to the target area information, the area information sending unit 102 can also send shop information indicating the shop of the person taking the photo 11 (i.e., the shop where the terminal device 10 is installed) to the parsing device 20.

[0040] The image transmitting unit 103 transmits the image of the subject 11 captured by the camera unit 101 to the analysis device 20. Alternatively, the image transmitting unit 103 may also transmit the image of the subject 11 captured by a device other than the terminal device 10 to the analysis device 20.

[0041] The member number sending unit 104 sends the member number of the target 11 (specifically, the member number managed by the parsing device 20 and assigned to each target 11) entered by the target 11 in the terminal device 10 to the parsing device 20.

[0042] The user setting unit 105 sends various setting information specified by the user 11 (specifically, the display method specified by the user 11, the period for applying the display method, etc.) to the parsing device 20. For example, the user setting unit 105 sends various setting information input by the user 11 on the screen displayed by the parsing device 20 on the terminal device 10 to the parsing device 20.

[0043] The display unit 106 acquires and displays the analysis results of the physical state of the subject 11 from the analysis device 20 (specifically, at least one of the image of the subject 11 and information about the body of the subject 11 (specifically, information extracted from the image of the subject 11)).

[0044] [Analysis device] The parsing device 20 may include a data acquisition unit 201, a parsing unit 202, a personal information storage and judgment unit 203, a parsing result output unit 204, and a data storage unit 205. Furthermore, by executing a program, the parsing device 20 can function as the data acquisition unit 201, the parsing unit 202, the personal information storage and judgment unit 203, and the parsing result output unit 204.

[0045] The data acquisition unit 201 acquires various types of data from the terminal device 10.

[0046] Specifically, the data acquisition unit 201 acquires information about the target area (or the target area information and store information) from the terminal device 10. Furthermore, the data acquisition unit 201 acquires an image of the target person 11 taken from the terminal device 10. Additionally, the data acquisition unit 201 acquires the member number of the target person 11 from the terminal device 10. Furthermore, the data acquisition unit 201 acquires various setting information from the terminal device 10 (specifically, the display method specified by the target person 11, the period for which the display method is applied, etc.).

[0047] The analysis unit 202 uses the image acquired by the data acquisition unit 201 to analyze the physical condition of the subject 11 (e.g., skin condition such as transparency, firmness / elasticity, and smoothness).

[0048] The Personal Information Retention Determination Unit 203 determines whether the data used for physical status analysis can be retained based on the regulations of the target region. Furthermore, the Personal Information Retention Determination Unit 203 decides on the display method for showing the latest analysis results and the display method for showing past analysis results (specifically, it uses the display method for data that has been determined to be retainable in the target region and has already been retained).

[0049] Specifically, the personal information retention determination unit 203 uses the target region information obtained by the data acquisition unit 201 from the terminal device 10 to determine the target region (e.g., country). Furthermore, the personal information retention determination unit 203 refers to the "Regulations for Each Region" stored in the data storage unit 205 (see...). Figure 3 (Detailed description) determines whether data associated with the identified object region (e.g., country) can be stored in that object region and how that object region can be displayed.

[0050] [Display Method] The display method is described here. The display method follows the display method specified for the target area (specifically, whether or not images of the subject 11 and information about the subject 11's body (specifically, information extracted from the images of the subject 11) can be saved). The display method includes a "display method for the latest analysis results" and a "display method for past analysis results." The "display method for past analysis results" uses only data that can be saved in the target area. On the other hand, the "display method for the latest analysis results" may also use data other than data that can be saved in the target area (e.g., Figure 3 Facial images of Mode B and Mode C (images of the face of subject 11) (However, after displaying the latest parsing results, data other than the data that can be saved in the object area will be deleted).

[0051] The analysis result output unit 204, according to the regulations of the target area, causes the terminal device 10 to display the analysis result of the physical state of the target 11 (specifically, at least one of the image of the target 11 and information about the body of the target 11 (specifically, information extracted from the image of the target 11)).

[0052] The regulations for each region are stored in Data Storage Unit 205 (see reference). Figure 3 (Detailed description) and the saved data of the object 11 (see reference) Figure 4 (Detailed explanation).

[0053] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 This describes the data stored in the data storage unit 205.

[0054] Figure 3 This is an example of the regional regulations (data storage and display methods) involved in one embodiment of the present invention. The data storage unit 205 stores "regulation (personal information protection) mode", "target region", "data storage", and "display method".

[0055] "Model of regulations (personal information protection)" refers to the types of regulations (e.g., laws concerning personal information protection) established in various regions. Furthermore, in Figure 3 In the example, the rules become increasingly strict in the order of patterns A, B, and C (i.e., less data can be stored).

[0056] "Target Region" refers to the target region (e.g., country) that falls under the type of "regulation (personal information protection) model".

[0057] "Retainable data" refers to data that can be retained under the provisions of the "specified (personal information protection) model".

[0058] The "Display Method" is the method for displaying parsing results as specified by the target region. The "Display Method" includes the "Display Method for the Latest Parsing Results" and the "Display Method for Past Parsing Results (specifically, the display method for data shown in "Saved Data")".

[0059] [Store Information] Here, we will explain the store information. Depending on the type of store where the terminal device 10 is installed, it may be determined whether the image of the subject 11 and information about the subject 11's body can be saved (for example, when the store is a department store, the parsing device 20 does not save any data). Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the parsing device 20 may display at least one of the image of the subject 11 and information about the subject 11's body, based on the regulations of the target area and the store information (i.e., determining based on the target area information and the store information). Figure 3 (The pattern).

[0060] Figure 4This is an example of the data storage of a subject 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The data storage unit 205 stores the date and time (the date and time of the image of the subject 11 acquired and parsed by the parsing device 20) and data that is determined to be storable in the subject area and has been saved (e.g., "facial image (image of the face of the subject 11)"), information about the body ("coordinates of facial feature points", "coordinates representing skin condition", "skin score of the skin analysis result (skin score)") for each subject 11 (e.g., for each member number acquired by the data acquisition unit 201).

[0061] A “facial image” can be an image of the subject’s face (which may also include the neck), or an image of a portion of the face (e.g., a portion of the face based on a skin problem (e.g., the corner of the eye when the skin problem is wrinkles, and the nasolabial folds when the skin problem is sagging)).

[0062] "Coordinates of facial feature points" are coordinates extracted from facial images that represent the positions of various parts of the face (such as the eyes, nose, and mouth).

[0063] "Coordinates representing skin condition" are coordinates extracted from facial images that represent the location of skin conditions (such as spots, wrinkles, sagging, etc.).

[0064] "Skin score analysis" is a process that analyzes the skin based on coordinates and other representations of skin condition, and then quantifies the results.

[0065] <Screen> Reference Figures 5-11 This describes the screen displayed on the terminal device 10.

[0066] Figure 5 This is an example of a parsing result screen (Mode A) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] As the latest analysis result (e.g., today's analysis result), a skin condition image based on the current photo (i.e., the image taken in the latest analysis) is overlaid on the current photo (specifically, an image representing areas such as spots, wrinkles, and sagging based on the "coordinates representing skin condition" of the current photo). Additionally, a skin score is displayed.

[0068] As a result of past analysis, a skin condition image based on the past photo (specifically, an image representing areas such as spots, wrinkles, and sagging based on the "coordinates representing skin condition" of the past photo) is overlaid on it. Additionally, a skin score is displayed.

[0069] Figure 6This is an example of a parsing result screen (Mode B) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] As the latest analysis result (e.g., today's analysis result), a skin condition image based on the current photo (i.e., the image taken in the latest analysis) is overlaid on the current photo (specifically, an image representing areas such as spots, wrinkles, and sagging based on the "coordinates representing skin condition" of the current photo). Additionally, a skin score is displayed.

[0071] As a result of past analysis, an image of skin condition based on that past photograph is overlaid on the illustration (rather than the past photograph). Specifically, this image represents areas such as spots, wrinkles, and sagging based on the "coordinates representing skin condition" of the past photograph. At this point, the "coordinates representing skin condition" of the past photograph are correlated with coordinates representing the locations of various parts of the face in the illustration and overlaid. Additionally, a skin score is displayed.

[0072] Furthermore, the illustrations can be universal to all subjects, or they can be generated from past photographs of each subject.

[0073] Figure 7 This is an example of a parsing result screen (mode C) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] As the latest analysis result (e.g., today's analysis result), a skin condition image based on the current photo (i.e., the image taken in the latest analysis) is overlaid on the current photo (specifically, an image representing areas such as spots, wrinkles, and sagging based on the "coordinates representing skin condition" of the current photo). Additionally, a skin score is displayed.

[0075] As this is a past analysis result, only the skin score is displayed.

[0076] [Decision on the display method based on the consistency between the current photo and past photos] When the similarity between the current photograph of the subject 11 (i.e., the image taken in the latest analysis) and a past photograph of the subject 11 (i.e., the image taken in the past analysis) is below a threshold, the analysis device 20 can display at least one of the images of the subject 11 and information about the subject 11's body, according to the regulations of the target region. The analysis device 20 can determine a display method corresponding to the similarity between the current photograph of the subject 11 (i.e., the image taken in the latest analysis) and a past photograph of the subject 11 (i.e., the image taken in the past analysis) (e.g., mode A when similarity >= X%, mode B when X% > similarity > Y%, mode C when Y% >= similarity, etc.). Furthermore, if there is a more stringent regulation mode than that of the target region, the analysis device 20 can be applied.

[0077] Figure 8 This is an example of a parsing result screen according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the parsing device 20 can further obtain the display method specified by the object 11 (e.g., Figure 8 The parsing device 20 can display at least one of the following: an image of the subject 11 and information about the subject 11's body, according to the regulations of the target area and the display method specified by the subject 11. The parsing device 20 can obtain the display method specified by the subject 11 for each image (i.e., for each past parsing).

[0078] In addition, the parsing device 20 can also obtain the display method specified by the object 11 and the period during which the display method is applied, and apply the display method during the period.

[0079] When the similarity between the current photograph of the subject 11 (i.e., the image captured in the latest analysis) and the past photographs of the subject 11 (i.e., the images captured in past analyses) is below a threshold, the analysis device 20 can apply the display method specified by the subject 11. The analysis device 20 can apply the display method specified by the subject 11 based on the similarity between the current photograph of the subject 11 (i.e., the image captured in the latest analysis) and the past photographs of the subject 11 (i.e., the images captured in past analyses).

[0080] Figure 9 This is an example of a resolution result screen according to an embodiment of the present invention (a variation of mode B). The resolution device 20 can use information extracted from past images of the subject 11 and the current image of the subject 11 to display the resolution result instead of past images of the subject 11. Specifically, on the current photo (i.e., the image taken in the latest resolution), a skin condition image based on past photos (specifically, an image representing areas such as spots, wrinkles, and sagging based on the "coordinates representing skin condition" of past photos) is overlaid. At this time, the "coordinates representing skin condition" of past photos are associated with the coordinates representing the positions of various parts of the face in the current photo and overlaid.

[0081] Figure 10This is an example of a resolution result screen according to an embodiment of the present invention (a variation of mode B). The resolution device 20 can use information extracted from past images of the subject 11 and an image processed from the current image of the subject 11 to display the resolution result instead of past images of the subject 11. Specifically, on the image of the current photo (i.e., the image processed from the image taken in the latest resolution based on the difference between the latest skin score and the past skin score), an image of skin condition based on past photos (specifically, an image representing areas such as spots, wrinkles, and sagging based on the "coordinates representing skin condition" of past photos) is overlaid. At this time, the "coordinates representing skin condition" of past photos are associated with the coordinates representing the positions of various parts of the face in the image of the current photo and overlaid.

[0082] For example, if a past analysis result has a worse corner-of-the-eye score compared to the latest analysis result, the image displayed in the current face photo will have added or emphasized corner-of-the-eye wrinkles, as a past analysis result. Conversely, if a past analysis result has a better corner-of-the-eye score compared to the latest analysis result, the image displayed in the current face photo will have removed or blurred corner-of-the-eye wrinkles, as a past analysis result.

[0083] Figure 11 This is an example of a resolution result screen according to an embodiment of the present invention (a variation of mode C). The resolution device 20 can use information extracted from past images of the subject 11 instead of past images of the subject 11 to display the resolution result. Specifically, in the facial illustration, areas prone to spots, wrinkles, sagging, etc., are displayed in a form (e.g., color) corresponding to past skin scores.

[0084] <Method> Figure 12 This is a flowchart of the parsing process according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0085] In step 1 (S1), the parsing device 20 obtains information about the target region from the terminal device 10.

[0086] In step 2 (S2), the parsing device 20 acquires an image of the subject 11 from the terminal device 10.

[0087] Furthermore, the order of S1 and S2 can be reversed, or they can be executed simultaneously.

[0088] In step 3 (S3), the parsing device 20, according to the definition of the target area (specifically, the target area determined using the information obtained in S1), causes the terminal device 10 to display at least one of the following: an image of the subject 11 (specifically, the image obtained in S2) and information about the subject 11's body (specifically, information extracted from the image obtained in S2, such as the coordinates of the subject 11's facial feature points, coordinates representing the subject 11's skin condition, a score of the subject 11's skin analysis results, etc.).

[0089] Figure 13 This is a flowchart of the parsing process (determination of the display method) according to an embodiment of the present invention. Furthermore, Figure 13 illustrate Figure 3 The regulations for each region (increasingly strict in the order of Pattern A, B, and C (i.e., less data can be stored)) are as follows. Figure 13 As shown, the display method desired by the target country 11 can be applied within the scope of the regulations of each country (i.e., if it is a more stringent regulatory pattern than that of the target country, it can be specified).

[0090] In step 101 (S101), the parsing device 20 acquires information about the target region (e.g., country). In addition to the target region information, the parsing device 20 can also acquire store information indicating the store of the person taking the photo 11 (i.e., the store where the terminal device 10 is installed).

[0091] In step 102 (S102), the parsing device 20 determines whether the object region (e.g., country) determined using the object region information obtained in S101 is classified as Pattern A. Alternatively, the parsing device 20 can also determine whether the object region is classified as Pattern A based on the object region information and store information obtained in S101.

[0092] If it is classified as pattern A, proceed to step 103; if it is not classified as pattern A, proceed to step 106.

[0093] In step 103 (S103), the parsing device 20 acquires setting information (specifically, the display method specified by the object 11).

[0094] In step 104 (S104), the parsing device 20 determines whether the display method specified in S103 is mode A. If it is mode A, proceed to step 105; if it is not mode A, proceed to step 108.

[0095] In step 105 (S105), the parsing device 20 decides to display in mode A.

[0096] In step 106 (S106), the parsing device 20 determines whether the object region (e.g., country) determined using the object region information obtained in S101 is classified as Pattern B. Alternatively, the parsing device 20 can also determine whether the object region is classified as Pattern B based on the object region information and store information obtained in S101.

[0097] If classified as Pattern B, proceed to step 107; otherwise, proceed to step 110.

[0098] In step 107 (S107), the parsing device 20 acquires setting information (specifically, the display method specified by the object 11).

[0099] In step 108 (S108), the parsing device 20 determines whether the display method specified in S103 or S107 is mode B. If it is mode B, proceed to step 109; if it is not mode B, proceed to step 110.

[0100] In step 109 (S109), the parsing device 20 decides to display in mode B.

[0101] In step 110 (S110), the parsing device 20 decides to display in mode C.

[0102] <Effect> As described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, when displaying the result of analyzing the physical condition (e.g., skin condition) of the subject 11 using an image of the subject 11, the analysis result can be displayed based on whether the image of the subject 11 (e.g., an image of the face) or information about the subject 11's body (e.g., coordinates of facial feature points, coordinates representing skin condition, score of skin analysis result, etc.) can be saved, thereby enabling compliance with the regulations of various regions (e.g., countries).
