[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, unnecessary detailed description may be omitted. For example, detailed description of already well-known matters or redundant description of substantially the same configuration may be omitted. Note that the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0014] (First embodiment) FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a treatment support system 1 according to a first embodiment. The treatment support system 1 includes a beauty tool 300 used by a user 30 and a user terminal 10 equipped with a treatment support device 100. The treatment support device 100 may also include a server 200 capable of communicating with the user terminal 10 via a network 40. The beauty tool 300 corresponds to a care device.

[0015] The beauty tool 300 includes a main body that is held by a user and a head that can pass currents with different characteristics through the user's skin. During treatment, the beauty tool 300 is used by the user 30 holding the main body and bringing the head into contact with the user's skin.

[0016] When using the beauty tool 300, the user 30 performs a treatment in accordance with the treatment guide displayed on the user terminal 10. FIG. 2 shows an example of the treatment guide displayed on the display unit 11 of the user terminal 10. The user 30 performs a treatment according to the multiple modes provided in the beauty tool 300 in accordance with the treatment guide as shown in FIG.

[0017] The beauty tool 300 has multiple modes that are realized by changing the frequency and voltage of electricity applied to the electrodes in the head portion. Each of the multiple modes provided by the beauty tool 300 has a corresponding usage frequency condition.

[0018] 3 is a diagram showing an example of a plurality of modes and usage frequency conditions of the beauty tool 300. The "EMS+RF" mode is a mode in which EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) pulses and RF (Radio Frequency) pulses are alternately applied to the electrodes at predetermined intervals.

[0019] EMS generates low-frequency or medium-frequency pulsed currents in the electrodes, which exerts a muscle-exercising effect on the skin of the user 30 and can increase muscle strength. RF generates high-frequency pulsed currents in the electrodes, which generates Joule heat inside the skin of the user 30, promoting the production of collagen and other substances inside the skin and increasing capillary blood flow. As a result, the "EMS+RF" mode has the effect of lifting the user 30's skin and improving dullness and wrinkles.

[0020] "RF" mode generates high-frequency pulse current in the electrodes. The effects of RF are as described above. "EMS+RF (partial)" mode applies low-frequency or medium-frequency pulse current from EMS and high-frequency pulse current from RF to specific areas of the skin.

[0021] In the "iontophoresis" mode and "ion derivation" mode, the electrodes generate a current at a frequency used for IP (iontophoresis). In iontophoresis, a voltage is applied to the skin, which allows useful ingredients to be introduced into the skin through the action of electrical repulsion and electroosmotic flow, while in ion derivation, a voltage is applied to the skin, which allows dirt components and the like to be extracted from the skin through the action of electrical adsorption. For iontophoresis and ion derivation, a frequency within the range of, for example, 1 kHz to 10 kHz, preferably 1 kHz to 5 kHz, is used.

[0022] Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 3, the modes of the beauty tool 300 have usage frequency conditions. Therefore, the user 30 needs to select an appropriate usage mode from among the multiple usage modes while satisfying the usage frequency conditions. On the other hand, if too many usage patterns are suggested for the beauty tool 300, it may be difficult for the user 30 to select an appropriate usage pattern.

[0023] The treatment support device 100 of this embodiment can support the user 30 in providing appropriate treatment by suggesting an appropriate usage mode to the user 30 when the user 30 uses the beauty tool 300 to treat the skin.

[0024] (Configuration of treatment support device 100) Next, details of the treatment support device 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the treatment support device 100 according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the treatment support device 100 may be configured as a system including a general-purpose computer including a control unit 110 (CPU), a storage unit 120 (memory), an input / output IF 130 (Interface), and a communication IF 140. In this case, a computer program for causing the computer to function as the treatment support device 100 may be installed in the computer. By executing the computer program, the computer functions as multiple information processing circuits provided in the treatment support device 100.

[0025] In this embodiment, an example is shown in which software is used to realize a plurality of information processing functions of the treatment support device 100. The treatment support device 100 functions as a plurality of information processing circuits provided in the treatment support device 100 by executing a computer program.

[0026] As another configuration, the treatment support device 100 can be configured with dedicated hardware for executing each information processing function, and the information processing function can be configured using a system LSI (Large Scale Integration) or the like. Alternatively, a system may be configured with multiple information processing functions using individual hardware.

[0027] The control unit 110 operates based on a program (not shown) stored in the storage unit 120, and executes each function of the treatment support device 100. Note that the program is not limited to being stored in the storage unit 120, and may be stored in, for example, a ROM (not shown) or the like within the treatment support device 100.

[0028] 5, the storage unit 120 stores information stored in a use history information DB 121 (Data Base), a recommended frequency information DB 122, and a skin information DB 123 as data in the storage unit 120. In the following description, an example is shown in which the use history information DB 121, the recommended frequency information DB 122, and the skin information DB 123 are stored in the storage unit 120 of the treatment support device 100, but the storage locations of these DBs are not limited. A configuration may be adopted in which some or all of the use history information DB 121, the recommended frequency information DB 122, and the skin information DB 123 are stored in the server 200. In this case, the treatment support device 100 is able to access these databases via a communication IF 140, which will be described later.

[0029] Furthermore, as described above, the storage unit 120 may store programs for each function executed by the control unit 110. The information and programs stored in the storage unit 120 may be configured as physically or logically separated areas within a single storage device. Alternatively, the storage units 120 for each data may be configured to be provided in multiple physically different storage devices.

[0030] The input / output IF 130 is an interface for transmitting and receiving information exchanged between the treatment support device 100 and the user 30. The input / output IF 130 includes, for example, an input IF and an output IF (not shown).

[0031] The input IF in the input / output IF 130 has an interface function for inputting various information by the user 30, and information is input from outside the treatment support device 100. Information is input to the input IF by the user 30 via a touch panel provided on the treatment support device 100. The input IF can also serve as a data input terminal for inputting data from a dedicated terminal of the user terminal 10, allowing information to be input.

[0032] The output IF in the input / output IF 130 can display treatment guides, usage history information stored in the storage unit 120, and the like on the display unit 11 connected to the treatment support device 100. The display unit 11 corresponds to a display screen provided on the user terminal 10, but may also be a display device or projector device connected to a dedicated terminal of the user terminal 10.

[0033] The communication IF 140 is, for example, an interface that enables mutual communication between the treatment support device 100 and the server 200. The communication IF 140 may also be an interface that enables mutual communication with the beauty tool 300.

[0034] (Functional configuration of treatment support device 100) Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the treatment support device 100 according to the first embodiment. As shown in Fig. 5, the control unit 110 of the treatment support device 100 includes, as its functions, a use history information acquisition unit 111a, a recommended frequency information acquisition unit 111b, and a first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c. The control unit 110 also includes, as its functions, a skin information acquisition unit 112a, a skin information analysis unit 112b, and a second recommended treatment condition extraction unit 112c. The control unit 110 also includes, as its functions, a suggested mode generation unit 115 and a suggested mode notification unit 116.

[0035] The usage history information acquiring unit 111a acquires usage history information of the beauty tool 300 of the user 30. In this embodiment, the usage history information is stored in advance in the usage history information DB 121 of the storage unit 120. The usage history information is a usage history for several days prior to the day on which the beauty tool 300 is used.

[0036] 6A and 6B are diagrams for explaining usage history information. For example, in the example shown in Fig. 6A and 6B, as usage history information, a "○" indicating a usage record is stored in a position corresponding to the date of use.

[0037] The recommended frequency information acquiring unit 111b acquires recommended frequency information corresponding to a plurality of treatment modes provided in the beauty tool 300. For example, the recommended frequency information is information previously stored in the recommended frequency information DB 122 of the storage unit 120, and specifically corresponds to the use frequency conditions of each mode shown in Fig. 3. Note that the use frequency conditions may differ depending on the corresponding beauty tool 300.

[0038] The first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c extracts first recommended treatment conditions, which are conditions determined based on the use history information and recommended frequency information and are recommended for the treatment mode. Specifically, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c extracts first recommended treatment conditions based on the use history information as shown in Figures 6A and 6B and the recommended frequency information as shown in the recommended use conditions in Figure 3.

[0039] For example, in the example shown in Figure 6A, the "EMS+RF" mode and the "RF" mode are used three times in six days. According to the usage frequency conditions shown in Figure 3 above, the "EMS+RF" mode and the "RF" mode are required to be used up to three times a week in total, so the "EMS+RF" mode and the "RF" mode are determined to be unavailable on that day by storing "x" indicating that they cannot be used. Furthermore, for the "RF" mode, an "x" indicating that they cannot be used is also stored due to the condition that one or more days must pass between each use.

[0040] In the example shown in FIG. 6A, the "EMS+RF (partial)" mode, "ion introduction" mode, and "ion extraction" mode satisfy the usage frequency conditions shown in FIG. 3, and therefore "○" indicating that they can be used is stored in the judgment for that day.

[0041] In the example shown in FIG. 6B, an "x" is stored, indicating that the "RMS+RF (partial)" mode cannot be used, if it is used more than once a day or up to three times a week.

[0042] Skin information acquisition unit 112a acquires skin information of user 30. Furthermore, skin information acquisition unit 112a stores the acquired skin information in skin information DB 123 of storage unit 120. Specifically, skin information acquisition unit 112a stores an image captured by an imaging unit (not shown) such as a camera provided in user terminal 10 in skin information DB 123 of storage unit 120 via input / output IF 130.

[0043] 7 shows an example of capturing an image using the imaging unit of the user terminal 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the user 30 captures an image of the user 30's own face in accordance with a guide displayed on the display unit 11 of the user terminal 10, thereby acquiring skin information.

[0044] Based on the skin information, the skin information analysis unit 112b analyzes the skin condition of the user 30. Specifically, the skin information analysis unit 112b converts the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 112a into numerical values ​​according to predetermined evaluation items.

[0045] 8A shows an example of evaluation items and numerical values ​​between 0 and 100 for each evaluation item. For example, the skin information analysis unit 112b may determine and numerically convert image data represented by skin information based on a predetermined threshold value determined for each evaluation item. Alternatively, the skin information analysis unit 112b may be configured to convert input skin information into numerical values ​​for each evaluation item using learned data that has been previously machine-learned.

[0046] The second recommended treatment condition extraction unit 112c extracts second recommended treatment conditions, which are conditions determined based on the results of analysis by the skin information analysis unit 112b and are recommended for the treatment mode. Specifically, the second recommended treatment condition extraction unit 112c determines the skin type based on the quantified data, and extracts recommended treatment conditions for each skin type.

[0047] 8B is a diagram for explaining extraction of second recommended treatment conditions by the second recommended treatment condition extraction unit 112c. For example, for type 1, which has "good overall condition" as a type characteristic, "iontophoresis" mode is extracted as recommended condition 1, "ion derivation" mode as recommended condition 2, and "RF" mode as recommended condition 3. The priority of the recommended conditions is assumed to be highest, followed by recommended condition 2 and then recommended condition 3.

[0048] 9A to 9C, a specific example of the discrimination process of the second recommended treatment condition extraction unit 112c will be described. First, training data is defined based on the results of cluster analysis performed when the skin type classification is set. Specifically, the skin type is defined as the objective variable, and the numerical values ​​of the skin analysis results are defined as the explanatory variables.

[0049] As an example, the objective variable (skin type) is defined as Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. The explanatory variables (skin analysis results) are defined as moisture, oil, wrinkles, spots, texture, firmness, dark circles, and pores.

[0050] Next, the coefficients (a1 to c0) of the discrimination model formula (canonical discriminant function) are derived from the results of the above-mentioned cluster analysis. Each of the coefficients a1 to c0 corresponds to the evaluation items shown in FIG. 9A.

[0051] For example, the model formulas are determined by the following formulas (1) to (3). Note that the number of model formulas varies depending on the number of skin types. Also, Z indicates the discrimination score. Note that the discrimination score corresponds to a value quantified by the skin information analysis unit 112b. (Model formula 1): Z1=a1X1+a2X2+···+a8X8+a0···(1) (Model formula 2): Z2 = b1X1 + b2X2 + + b8X8 + b0 (2) (Model formula 3): Z3 = c1X1 + c2X2 + + c8X8 + c0 (3)

[0052] Next, the center of gravity, which is the average value of the discriminant scores in the training data for each skin type, is calculated. The relationship between the model formula and types 1 to 4 is shown in Figure 9B.

[0053] Next, the skin analysis values ​​of user 30 classified into the skin type are substituted into X1 to X8 of the model formula. Note that X1 to X8 correspond to the explanatory variables (evaluation items) shown in FIG. 9C, respectively.

[0054] Furthermore, the distances (D1 to D4) between the center of gravity of each skin type and the above-mentioned discriminant score of user 30 are calculated using the following equations (4) to (7). Note that in this embodiment, the distances are calculated using the sum of squares.

[0055] Distance D1 to center of gravity for Type 1: D1=(Z1-G 11 ) 2 +(Z2-G 21 ) 2 +(Z3-G 31 ) 2 ···(4) Distance to center of gravity D2 for Type 2: D2=(Z1-G 12 ) 2 +(Z2-G 22 ) 2 +(Z3-G 32 ) 2 ···(5) Distance to center of gravity D3 for Type 3: D3=(Z1-G 13 ) 2 +(Z2-G 23 ) 2 +(Z3-G 33 ) 2 ···(6) Distance to center of gravity D4 for Type 4: D4=(Z1-G 14 ) 2 +(Z2-G 24 ) 2 +(Z3-G 34 ) 2 ···(7)

[0056] The second recommended treatment condition extraction unit 112c then classifies the skin into the skin type closest to the center of gravity. That is, the skin type corresponding to the smallest value among D1 to D4 is determined as the skin type to which the user 30 belongs. Note that in the above example, there are four skin types and eight skin analysis items, but the number of types may be different. Furthermore, the number of coefficients changes depending on the number of types.

[0057] The second recommended treatment condition extraction unit 112c determines the skin type of the user 30 using the method described above, and extracts second recommended treatment conditions that correspond to the recommended conditions.

[0058] The proposed mode generation unit 115 generates a proposed mode suitable for the user 30 from among the treatment modes based on the first and second recommended treatment conditions. Specifically, the proposed mode generation unit 115 generates a treatment mode included in the first and second recommended treatment conditions as the proposed mode. For example, when there are three or more treatment modes included in the first and second recommended treatment conditions, the proposed mode generation unit 115 generates two of the highest priority treatment modes as the proposed modes.

[0059] The advantage of having two suggested modes is that the user 30 can independently select a mode. For example, if only one suggested mode is provided, a mode that does not suit the user's 30's wishes may be presented. An example of a mode that does not suit the user's wishes is when a mode with a long treatment time is suggested when the user is tired, or when a mode that includes EMS is suggested when the user is not in the mood for much stimulation.

[0060] In this case, two suggested modes are proposed according to the physical condition and mood of the user 30, which increases the possibility of the user 30 selecting a mode that suits his / her wishes. For example, selecting from two suggested modes is easier than selecting a suggested mode that suits his / her wishes from many suggested modes. Furthermore, the user 30's independent selection also motivates him / her to continue using the device.

[0061] For example, among treatment modes included in both the first recommended treatment conditions and the second recommended treatment conditions, the one with the highest priority of the second recommended treatment conditions is generated as the proposed mode with the highest priority.

[0062] The proposed mode notification unit 116 notifies the user 30 of the proposed mode. Specifically, the proposed mode notification unit 116 notifies the user 30 of the proposed mode by displaying the proposed mode on the display unit 11 of the user terminal 10. Note that the notification by the proposed mode notification unit 116 is not limited to display via the display unit 11, and may be configured to notify via a speaker (audio output unit) of the user terminal 10, for example.

[0063] (Outline of processing flow of treatment support device 100) Next, the flow of processing in the treatment support device 100 will be shown using the flowcharts shown in Figures 10 and 11. The series of operations of the treatment support device 100 shown in the flowcharts of Figures 10 and 11 starts when the treatment support device 100 is started, and ends when the operation is completed. In addition, the processing in the flowcharts shown in Figures 10 and 11 also ends when the power is turned off or an interrupt occurs to end the processing. In addition, in the explanation of the flowcharts below, the same content as that described in the explanation of the treatment support system 1 and the treatment support device 100 above will be omitted or simplified.

[0064] In step S1001, the use history information acquisition unit 111a acquires use history information of the beauty tool 300 of the user 30. In this embodiment, the use history information is stored in advance in the use history information DB 121 of the storage unit 120. Then, the process proceeds to step S1002.

[0065] In step S1002, the recommended frequency information acquisition unit 111b acquires recommended frequency information corresponding to a plurality of treatment modes provided in the beauty tool 300. For example, the recommended frequency information is information previously stored in the recommended frequency information DB 122 of the storage unit 120, and specifically corresponds to the use frequency conditions of each mode shown in FIG. 3. Note that the use frequency conditions may differ depending on the corresponding beauty tool 300. Then, the process proceeds to step S1003.

[0066] In step S1003, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c extracts first recommended treatment conditions, which are conditions determined based on the use history information and the recommended frequency information and are recommended for the treatment mode. Specific processing will be described later in the subroutine processing for extracting first recommended treatment conditions shown in Figure 11. Thereafter, processing proceeds to step S1004.

[0067] In step S1004, skin information acquisition unit 112a acquires skin information of user 30. Furthermore, skin information acquisition unit 112a stores the acquired skin information in skin information DB 123 of storage unit 120. Specifically, skin information acquisition unit 112a stores an image captured by an imaging unit (not shown) such as a camera provided in user terminal 10 in skin information DB 123 of storage unit 120 via input / output IF 130. Thereafter, processing proceeds to step S1005.

[0068] In step S1005, the skin information analysis unit 112b analyzes the skin condition of the user 30 based on the skin information. Specifically, the skin information analysis unit 112b quantifies the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 112a according to predetermined evaluation items. For example, the skin information analysis unit 112b may determine and quantify the image data indicated by the skin information based on a predetermined threshold value determined for each evaluation item. Alternatively, the skin information analysis unit 112b may be configured to quantify the input skin information according to each evaluation item using learned data that has been previously machine-learned. Then, the process proceeds to step S1006.

[0069] In step S1006, the second recommended treatment condition extraction unit 112c extracts second recommended treatment conditions, which are conditions determined based on the results of the analysis by the skin information analysis unit 112b and are recommended for the treatment mode. Specifically, the second recommended treatment condition extraction unit 112c determines the skin type based on the quantified data and extracts recommended treatment conditions for each skin type. Then, the process proceeds to step S1007.

[0070] In step S1007, the proposed mode generation unit 115 generates a proposed mode suitable for the user 30 from among the treatment modes based on the first and second recommended treatment conditions. Specifically, the proposed mode generation unit 115 generates a treatment mode included in the first and second recommended treatment conditions as the proposed mode. For example, if there are multiple treatment modes included in the first and second recommended treatment conditions, the proposed mode generation unit 115 generates two of the highest priority treatment modes as the proposed modes.

[0071] For example, among treatment modes included in both the first and second recommended treatment conditions, the one with the highest priority of the recommended conditions of the second recommended treatment conditions is generated as the proposed mode with the highest priority. Then, the process proceeds to step S1008.

[0072] In step S1008, the proposed mode notification unit 116 notifies the user 30 of the proposed mode. Specifically, the proposed mode notification unit 116 notifies the user 30 of the proposed mode by displaying the proposed mode on the display unit 11 of the user terminal 10. Note that the notification by the proposed mode notification unit 116 is not limited to display via the display unit 11, and may be configured to notify via a speaker (audio output unit) of the user terminal 10, for example. Thereafter, the processing ends.

[0073] Next, a description will be given of the subroutine processing for extracting first recommended treatment conditions shown in Fig. 11, which is called from step S1003 in Fig. 10. Note that the subroutine processing shown in Fig. 11 shows processing when the subroutine processing is performed for the first time on the day.

[0074] In step S1101, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c extracts the "iontophoresis" mode and the "ion derivation" mode. The "iontophoresis" mode and the "ion derivation" mode are not subject to the number of times per week or the previous day's usage conditions, and are therefore extracted regardless of the results over the past six days or the previous day's usage. Then, the process proceeds to step S1102.

[0075] In step S1102, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines whether the "RF+EMS" mode or the "RF" mode was performed on the previous day. In step S1102, if the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines that the "RF+EMS" mode or the "RF" mode was not performed on the previous day (step S1102: YES), the process proceeds to step S1103. On the other hand, in step S1102, if the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines that the "RF+EMS" mode and the "RF" mode were performed on the previous day (step S1102: NO), the process proceeds to step S1105.

[0076] In step S1103, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines whether the "RF+EMS" mode or the "RF" mode has been used a total of less than three times in the past six days. In step S1103, if the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines that the "RF+EMS" mode or the "RF" mode has been used a total of less than three times in the past six days (step S1103: YES), the process proceeds to step S1104. On the other hand, in step S1103, if the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines that the "RF+EMS" mode or the "RF" mode has been used a total of three or more times in the past six days (step S1103: NO), the process proceeds to step S1105.

[0077] In step S1104, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c extracts the "RF+EMS" mode and the "RF" mode, after which the process proceeds to step S1105.

[0078] In step S1105, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines whether or not the "RF+EMS (partial)" mode was performed on the previous day. In step S1105, if the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines that the "RF+EMS (partial)" mode was not performed on the previous day (step S1105: YES), the process proceeds to step S1106. On the other hand, in step S1105, if the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines that the "RF+EMS (partial)" mode was performed on the previous day (step S1105: NO), the process returns to step S1003 in FIG. 10.

[0079] In step S1106, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines whether the "RF+EMS (partial)" mode has been used a total of less than three times in the past six days. In step S1106, if the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines that the "RF+EMS (partial)" mode has been used a total of less than three times in the past six days (step S1106: YES), the process proceeds to step S1107. On the other hand, in step S1106, if the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c determines that the "RF+EMS (partial)" mode has been used a total of three or more times in the past six days (step S1106: NO), the process returns to step S1003 in FIG. 10.

[0080] In step S1107, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c extracts the "RF+EMS (partial)" mode. Thereafter, the process returns to step S1003 in FIG.

[0081] As described above, the treatment support device 100 according to the first embodiment is a treatment support device 100 that supports a user 30 using a beauty tool 300 in performing a treatment using the beauty tool 300. The treatment support device 100 includes a usage history information acquisition unit 111a that acquires usage history information of the beauty tool 300 used by the user 30, and a recommended frequency information acquisition unit 111b that acquires recommended frequency information corresponding to multiple treatment modes provided on the beauty tool 300. The treatment support device 100 also includes a first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c that extracts first recommended treatment conditions, which are conditions determined based on the usage history information and the recommended frequency information and are recommended for each treatment mode. The treatment support device 100 also includes a skin information acquisition unit 112a that acquires skin information of the user 30, and a skin information analysis unit 112b that analyzes the skin condition of the user 30 based on the skin information. The treatment support device 100 also includes a second recommended treatment condition extraction unit 112c that extracts second recommended treatment conditions, which are conditions determined based on the results of analysis by the skin information analysis unit 112b and are recommended for the treatment mode. The treatment support device 100 also includes a proposed mode generation unit 115 that generates a proposed mode suitable for the user 30 from the treatment modes based on the first recommended treatment conditions and the second recommended treatment conditions. The treatment support device 100 also includes a proposed mode notification unit 116 that notifies the user 30 of the proposed mode.

[0082] That is, when the user 30 uses the beauty tool 300 to treat their skin, the treatment support device 100 generates a suggested mode based on first recommended treatment conditions based on the usage history and recommended frequency information of the beauty tool 300, and second recommended treatment conditions that reflect the skin information. As a result, the treatment support device 100 can provide appropriate treatment support to the user 30 by generating a suggested mode that is suited to the skin condition of the user 30 while satisfying the usage conditions of the beauty tool 300.

[0083] Furthermore, the proposed mode generation unit 115 of the treatment support device 100 may generate, as the proposed mode, a treatment mode that has a higher priority than the treatment mode included in the second recommended treatment conditions, from among the treatment modes included in the first recommended treatment conditions. This enables the treatment support device 100 to generate a proposed mode that is more suited to the skin condition of the user 30, thereby enabling more appropriate treatment support for the user 30.

[0084] (Second embodiment) As described above, one specific embodiment has been described, but the above-described embodiment is merely an example and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. For example, the above-described embodiment illustrates an example in which a proposed treatment mode suitable for the user 30 is generated from among the treatment modes based on first and second recommended treatment conditions. Here, a configuration of a treatment support device 100 according to a second embodiment in which a proposed mode reflecting influential factor information is generated in the treatment support device 100, which differs from the first embodiment, will be described.

[0085] Fig. 12 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of a treatment support device 100 according to the second embodiment. As shown in Fig. 12, the treatment support device 100 according to the second embodiment differs from the treatment support device 100 according to the first embodiment in that it includes an influencing factor information acquisition unit 113a, a third recommended treatment condition extraction unit 113b, and an influencing factor information DB 124.

[0086] The influencing factor information acquiring unit 113a acquires influencing factor information relating to factors that affect the skin condition of the user 30. The influencing factor information may be information that has been stored in the influencing factor information DB 124 in advance.

[0087] For example, the information stored in the influencing factor information DB 124 may be information input by the user 30. Specifically, when the user 30 selects a skin problem that concerns him / her according to options displayed on the display unit 11 as an application of the user terminal 10, the selected problem may be stored in the influencing factor information DB 124 as influencing factor information corresponding to the skin problem. At this time, the user 30 may select one or more problems.

[0088] For example, when multiple options are selected, the user 30 may be asked to rank the skin concerns according to their severity, and the conditions suitable for the most severe skin concerns may be extracted with priority.

[0089] Furthermore, the influencing factor information stored in the influencing factor information DB 124 may be information acquired as biometric information of the user 30. For example, it may be information such as the sleeping hours, body temperature, blood pressure, and menstrual cycle of the user 30. Furthermore, this biometric information may be information acquired by an application of the user terminal 10, or information acquired by a dedicated device for acquiring biometric information via the input / output IF 130 or the communication IF 140.

[0090] Furthermore, the influencing factor information stored in the influencing factor information DB 124 may be information based on the schedule or behavioral results of the user 30. For example, the schedule of the user 30 may be information that the user is about to attend a wedding. Furthermore, the behavioral results of the user 30 may be information that the user spent the whole day outdoors. These schedules and behavioral results of the user 30 may be information input by the user 30. Alternatively, the schedules and behavioral results of the user 30 may be information acquired from an application such as a scheduler of the user terminal 10.

[0091] Furthermore, the influence factor information stored in the influence factor information DB 124 may be information relating to the region or weather. For example, the influence factor information in this case may be obtained by obtaining location information of the user 30 and forecast information of temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet index from weather forecast information, and classifying the forecast information into dryness level, humidity level, and ultraviolet level. The location information of the user 30 may be manually input by the user 30 via an input IF, or may be information obtained from a GPS (Global Positioning System). Furthermore, the GPS installed in the communication terminal may be used.

[0092] In addition to weather forecast information, past temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet information may be obtained from meteorological statistical data, and dryness and humidity levels may be estimated according to the location information depending on the time of year. Influence factor information may be information such as weather directly input by the user 30, or dryness and humidity levels may be input according to bodily sensations.

[0093] The third recommended treatment condition extraction unit 113b extracts third recommended treatment conditions, which are conditions determined based on the influencing factor information and are recommended for a treatment mode. For example, if the influencing factor information is information related to the above-mentioned skin concerns, the third recommended treatment condition extraction unit 113b may extract a treatment mode that has been previously associated with the skin concern as the third recommended treatment condition.

[0094] For example, if the skin concern is dull keratin, "RF" mode or "iontophoresis" mode may be extracted as the third recommended treatment condition. Similarly, if the firmness of the cheeks is a concern, "RF" mode or "RF+EMS" mode may be extracted as the third recommended treatment condition. Furthermore, if dry fine lines around the eyes are a concern, "RF+EMS (partial)" mode or "iontophoresis" mode may be extracted as the third recommended treatment condition. Furthermore, if the skin feels lacking in moisture, "iontophoresis" mode or "RF" mode may be extracted as the third recommended treatment condition.

[0095] Furthermore, if the influencing factor information is lack of sleep, it is thought that the autonomic nervous system is disturbed, causing dry skin and increased sebum secretion, so the "ion derivation" mode and "ion introduction" mode may be extracted as the third recommended treatment conditions. This makes it possible to extract the third recommended treatment conditions for strengthening moisturizing and sebum care.

[0096] Furthermore, if the influencing factor information indicates that the user 30 has an upcoming wedding, the "RF" mode and the "RF+EMS" mode may be extracted as the third recommended treatment conditions to improve the application of makeup.

[0097] Furthermore, if the influencing factor information is the behavioral result of the user 30, such as spending the whole day outdoors in the summer, the "iontophoresis" mode, "ion extraction" mode, and / or "RF" mode may be extracted as the third recommended treatment condition. This is because if the user spends the whole day outdoors in the summer, it is expected that the skin will become dry due to UV rays and the pores will become clogged due to sunscreen.

[0098] Furthermore, if the influencing factor information is the behavioral result of the user 30, such as information that the user spent the whole day outdoors in winter, the "iontophoresis" mode may be extracted as the third recommended treatment condition, since it is expected that the skin will become dry if the user spends the whole day outdoors in winter.

[0099] Furthermore, when the influencing factor information is regional or weather information, for example, in a very dry region, it is expected that the skin of the user 30 will be dry, and therefore the "iontophoresis" mode, which provides moisturizing care, may be extracted as the third recommended treatment condition. When the influencing factor information is regional or weather information and the region is humid, the third recommended treatment condition extraction unit 113b may extract the "RF" mode and the "ion derivation" mode as the third recommended treatment condition. This is because in humid regions, the skin is sticky, which makes it easy for bacteria to grow on the skin and pores to become clogged, and therefore a treatment mode that provides pore care is appropriate.

[0100] The proposed mode generation unit 115 in the second embodiment generates a proposed mode suitable for the user 30 from among the treatment modes based on the first recommended treatment conditions, second recommended treatment conditions, and third recommended treatment conditions. Specifically, the proposed mode generation unit 115 generates a treatment mode included in the first recommended treatment conditions, second recommended treatment conditions, and third recommended treatment conditions as the proposed mode. For example, when there are multiple treatment modes included in the first recommended treatment conditions, second recommended treatment conditions, and third recommended treatment conditions, the proposed mode generation unit 115 generates two of the highest priority treatment modes as the proposed modes.

[0101] For example, among treatment modes included in all of the first, second, and third recommended treatment conditions, the one with the highest priority in the recommended condition of the second recommended treatment condition may be generated as the proposed mode with the highest priority. Also, if a treatment mode is included in the first recommended treatment condition and also included in either the second or third recommended treatment conditions, that treatment mode is generated as the proposed mode.

[0102] Fig. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing of the treatment support device 100 according to the second embodiment. In the flowchart of Fig. 13, the processing from step S1301 to step S1306 and the processing of step S1310 are the same as the processing of the respective steps described in the flowchart shown in Fig. 10, and therefore description thereof will be omitted here.

[0103] In step S1307, the influencing factor information acquisition unit 113a acquires influencing factor information related to factors that affect the skin condition of the user 30. The influencing factor information may be information that has been stored in advance in the influencing factor information DB 124. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S1308.

[0104] In step S1308, the third recommended treatment condition extraction unit 113b extracts third recommended treatment conditions, which are conditions determined based on the influencing factor information and are recommended for the treatment mode. For example, if the influencing factor information is information related to the above-mentioned skin concerns, the third recommended treatment condition extraction unit 113b may extract a treatment mode that has been previously associated with the skin concern as the third recommended treatment condition. Furthermore, even if the influencing factor information is the schedule or behavioral results of the user 30, or regional or weather information, the third recommended treatment condition extraction unit 113b extracts third recommended treatment conditions, which are conditions recommended for the treatment mode corresponding to the influencing factor information, as described above. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S1309.

[0105] In step S1309, the proposed mode generation unit 115 generates a proposed mode suitable for the user 30 from among the treatment modes based on the first recommended treatment conditions, the second recommended treatment conditions, and the third recommended treatment conditions. Specifically, the proposed mode generation unit 115 generates a treatment mode included in the first recommended treatment conditions, the second recommended treatment conditions, and the third recommended treatment conditions as the proposed mode. For example, when there are multiple treatment modes included in the first recommended treatment conditions, the second recommended treatment conditions, and the third recommended treatment conditions, the proposed mode generation unit 115 generates two of the highest priority treatment modes as the proposed modes.

[0106] For example, among treatment modes included in all of the first, second, and third recommended treatment conditions, the treatment mode with the highest priority in the second recommended treatment conditions may be generated as the highest priority proposed mode. Furthermore, if a treatment mode is included in the first recommended treatment conditions and also in either the second or third recommended treatment conditions, that treatment mode is generated as the proposed mode. Note that the user may be able to select in advance whether to prioritize the second or third recommended treatment conditions. The process then proceeds to step S1310. The process of step S1310 is the same as the process of step S1008 shown in FIG. 10, and therefore will not be described here.

[0107] As described above, the treatment support device 100 according to the second embodiment may further include an influencing factor information acquisition unit 113a that acquires influencing factor information related to factors that affect the skin condition of the user 30. The treatment support device 100 may further include a third recommended treatment condition extraction unit 113b that extracts third recommended treatment conditions, which are conditions determined based on the influencing factor information and are recommended for the treatment mode. Furthermore, the proposed mode generation unit 115 of the treatment support device 100 according to the second embodiment may generate a proposed treatment mode suitable for the user 30 from among the treatment modes, based on the first recommended treatment conditions, the second recommended treatment conditions, and the third recommended treatment conditions.

[0108] That is, the treatment support device 100 according to the second embodiment generates a suggested mode that reflects information on influencing factors that affect the skin condition of the user 30, and notifies the user 30 of the suggested mode.

[0109] As a result, the treatment support device 100 according to the second embodiment can provide more appropriate treatment support to the user 30 by generating a suggested mode that is more suitable for the skin condition of the user 30.

[0110] (Other embodiments) Although the embodiments have been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the present embodiments are not limited to the contents described in the above embodiments. Furthermore, the components described above include those that can be easily imagined by a person skilled in the art and those that are substantially the same. Furthermore, the configurations described above can be combined as appropriate. Furthermore, various omissions, substitutions, or modifications of the configurations can be made without departing from the spirit of the embodiments.

[0111] In the above-described embodiment, the functions of the control unit 110 of the treatment support device 100 are configured to be implemented by the treatment support device 100, but this does not limit the configuration of the embodiment. For example, some of the functions of the treatment support device 100 may be configured to be provided as functions in the server 200. For example, providing the skin information analysis unit 112b in the server 200 enables more advanced analysis processing to be performed, making it possible to generate a suggested mode more suited to the skin condition of the user 30. Furthermore, providing the influencing factor information DB 124 in the server 200 makes it possible to aggregate influencing factor information for many users 30, allowing the treatment support device 100 to generate suggested modes corresponding to various influencing factors.

[0112] For example, as shown in FIG. 14 , the treatment support system 1 may be capable of mutual communication between the beauty tool 300 and the user terminal 10. In this case, for example, when the user 30 uses the beauty tool 300, the display unit 11 of the user terminal 10 may display information indicating whether the beauty tool 300 is properly contacting the user 30's skin. The information displayed on the display unit 11 of the user terminal 10 may include, for example, information regarding the contact area or contact pressure. The display unit 11 of the user terminal 10 may also detect the movement of the beauty tool 300 body using an acceleration sensor, and if the movement is too fast, display this information on the display unit 11. Furthermore, the user terminal 10 may capture the state of the treatment using an imaging unit such as a camera, detect the position of the beauty tool 300, and provide feedback on whether the care is excessive or insufficient.

[0113] The treatment support device 100 may also have a calendar recording function. Specifically, the treatment support device 100 may be configured to record a usage history in a calendar within the application when the treatment guidance ends. For example, as described above, if the beauty tool 300 and the application can communicate with each other, when the beauty tool 300 is turned off, the care content used at that time is sent to the application and the usage history is recorded.

[0114] 15, the treatment support device 100 may be configured to support a plurality of beauty tools 300. In this case, the processing of the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c may be performed as shown in FIG.

[0115] In step S1601, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c reads the usage history for the past six days corresponding to the plurality of beauty tools 300. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S1602.

[0116] In step S1602, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c deletes treatment modes that cannot be used every day and that have a history of use on the previous day, after which the process proceeds to step S1603.

[0117] In step S1603, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c removes from the candidates any mode that is used more than the predetermined number of times per week, and then the process proceeds to step S1604.

[0118] In step S1604, the first recommended treatment condition extraction unit 111c extracts a treatment mode that can be used today (on the current day) as a first recommended treatment condition, and then the process ends.

[0119] That is, the treatment support device 100 according to another embodiment generates a suggested mode based on first recommended treatment conditions that reflect recommended frequency information for the plurality of beauty tools 300. As a result, the treatment support device 100 generates a suggested mode that is suited to the skin condition of the user 30 while satisfying the usage conditions of the plurality of beauty tools 300, thereby enabling the treatment support device 100 to provide the user 30 with a more effective beauty effect.

[0120] Furthermore, the first recommended treatment conditions, the second recommended treatment conditions, and / or the third recommended treatment conditions may include one or more of the following three conditions when the beauty tool 300 and treatment modes proposed in multiple proposed modes are used simultaneously. Specifically, the first recommended treatment conditions, the second recommended treatment conditions, and / or the third recommended treatment conditions may further include one or more of the following conditions: the order of use, the timing of use within a day, or the treatment modes that can be used together within a day. This enables the treatment support device 100 to propose to the user 30 a proposed mode that meets more specific conditions.

[0121] Furthermore, a computer program (treatment assistance program) that causes a computer to function as the processing (treatment assistance method) in the treatment assistance device 100 described above, and a computer-readable recording medium on which the program is recorded, are included within the scope of this embodiment. Any type of computer-readable recording medium may be used. Furthermore, the computer program is not limited to being recorded on the recording medium described above, and may be transmitted via a telecommunications line, a wireless or wired communication line, a network such as the Internet, or the like.

[0122] Furthermore, the application of the treatment support device 100 according to this embodiment is not limited to the beauty tool 300. For example, the treatment support device 100 may be applied to a care device that provides a hair removal effect or a specific effect to the human body. Specifically, the treatment support device 100 can be applied when used as a facial beauty device, a massage device, a hair removal device, a hair care device, etc.

[0123] The treatment support device 100 may also be configured with a recommended treatment condition suggestion program for causing the multiple means provided in the control unit 110 to function as a computer. This recommended treatment condition suggestion program may cause care device use history storage means that stores the use history of one or more care devices that act on the body of the user 30 to function as a computer. The care device use history storage means corresponds to the function of the use history information acquisition unit 111a.

[0124] The recommended treatment condition suggestion program may also cause the computer to function as a care device recommended use frequency database means that stores the recommended use frequencies of care devices specified by the care device manufacturers. The care device recommended use frequency database means corresponds to the function of the recommended frequency information acquisition unit 111b.

[0125] The recommended treatment condition suggestion program may also cause a computer to function as a recommended treatment condition extraction processing means. This recommended treatment condition extraction processing means extracts first recommended treatment conditions within the recommended use range based on the use history stored in the care device use history storage means and the recommended use frequency data in the care device recommended use frequency database means. The recommended treatment condition extraction processing means corresponds to the function of the suggested mode generation unit 115.

[0126] The recommended treatment condition proposing program may also cause the computer to function as recommended treatment condition proposing means for proposing to the user 30 based on the first recommended treatment conditions extracted by the recommended treatment condition extraction processing means. The recommended treatment condition proposing means corresponds to the function of the proposed mode notifying unit 116.

[0127] The recommended treatment condition proposing program may also cause a computer to function as care device data storage means that stores data on care devices owned by the user 30. The recommended treatment condition proposing program may also cause a computer to function as safe treatment condition informing means that notifies the user 30 of safe treatment conditions based on the user-owned care device data stored in the care device data storage means.

[0128] Furthermore, the care device recommended use frequency database means may have means for managing treatment mode recommended treatment frequency data corresponding to one or more treatment modes provided in the care device.

[0129] The recommended treatment condition proposing program may also cause a computer to function as skin condition detecting means for detecting the skin condition of user 30. The skin condition detecting means corresponds to the function of skin information acquiring unit 112a. The recommended treatment condition proposing program may also cause a computer to function as skin condition analyzing means for analyzing the skin condition of user 30 based on the skin condition of user 30 detected by the skin condition detecting means. The skin condition analyzing means corresponds to the function of skin information analyzing unit 112b.

[0130] In addition, the recommended treatment condition proposing means may propose recommended treatment conditions suitable for the user 30 based on the second recommended treatment conditions and the first recommended treatment conditions, which are conditions determined based on the results of analysis by the skin condition analyzing means and are recommended for the treatment mode.

[0131] Furthermore, when making a recommendation to the user 30, the recommended treatment condition suggesting means may make the recommendation based on skin condition influencing factor data, which are influencing factors that affect the skin condition of the user 30. The skin condition influencing factor data corresponds to influencing factor information.

[0132] In addition, the recommended treatment condition suggestion program may function as a computer that functions as a recommendation candidate related data input means that allows the user to input one or more data items from the weather, skin concerns, region, physical condition, medical interview, or social environment in order to make suggestions that are suitable for the user 30.

[0133] The skin condition detection means of the recommended treatment condition proposing program may have an imaging function, which corresponds to an imaging unit such as a camera provided in the user terminal 10.

[0134] The techniques used in the treatment modes of the recommended treatment condition suggestion program may be one or more of RF, EMS, LED, electroporation, iontophoresis, ion extraction, IPL, heat, or cooling.

[0135] The recommended treatment condition proposing means of the recommended treatment condition proposing program may make suggestions to the user 30 based on the skin type.
