[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vending machine and method for nail art treatments, and more specifically to a vending machine and method for nail art treatments that can satisfy both fun and economical needs by allowing users (consumers) to apply existing designs or designs they have created themselves to their nails using a UV printer or automated means, or by allowing users to print designs on nail art nail stickers or nail tips (artificial nails) to be attached to the nails. [Background technology]

[0002] As interest in beauty has increased in general, interest in the beautification of fingernails and toenails has also increased in recent years. Nail beautification (also known as "nail art") is not just about applying nail polish to nails after caring for the nails and surrounding areas, but also about giving artistic expression to nails, such as painting pictures on long nails or attaching beads or jewels. Various devices for such nail beautification are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a nail art device in which the contour of a nail is recognized by a contour recognition means and the unevenness of the nail is recognized by an unevenness recognition means, and the shape is analyzed and displayed three-dimensionally by a three-dimensional display means, and after the user confirms the synthesized information by the three-dimensional display means, the selected shape or the shape drawn by the user using a coordinate input device is printed on the nail by a printing means.

[0004] Patent Document 2 describes a nail art treatment device that applies ink to a plate surface on which recesses are formed, transfers the ink present in the recesses of the plate surface to a pad, and then retransfers the ink transferred to the pad to the nail, and is configured as follows: -Fingertip fixation means for fixing the patient's fingertips - A page selection method to select the page to use from multiple pages - A page transfer means that moves the page selected by the page selection means on the work plane. An ink dropping means for selecting ink supplied from a plurality of ink containers storing ink and dropping the selected ink onto the side of the plate being moved by the plate surface transfer means. An ink application means for applying ink dropped by the ink dropping means to the side of the plate surface to the plate surface. A printing means for transferring the ink applied to the printing plate surface by the ink application means to a pad, and then bringing the pad into contact with the nail of the fingertip of the patient fixed by the fingertip fixing means to perform re-transfer and printing on the nail. This is a nail art treatment device that combines these means.

[0005] Patent document 3 discloses a nail art device having the following configuration: a control device equipped with various nail art patterns and a nail art control program; a printing device connected to the control device that prints nail art patterns selected by the user onto the nails; and a display device that displays menus and art patterns on a screen via the control device, all of which are integrated or unified into a system. Contact part It is installed inside the nail art device (main body), and when the member's fingertip is inserted, it detects contact with the fingerprint. ·camera When the contact part detects contact with a fingerprint, it is equipped with one or more cameras that capture images of the member's fingernails from the opposite direction. Image acquisition device Within the nail area identified in the nail image captured by the camera, a specific pattern provided by the member is photographed, and image information of the pattern is acquired. ·Storage Department A storage device in which the control unit edits and stores image information acquired through the video acquisition device. Control unit The nail image captured by the camera is displayed on a display device, and the nail area in the nail image where the specific pattern is to be printed is confirmed. Also, image information of the specific pattern acquired by the image acquisition device is displayed on the display device, and the edited image information stored in the storage unit is arranged within the nail area so that it can be printed. The nail art system has the above configuration.

[0006] However, the nail beauty devices of the above-mentioned prior art have a problem in that users cannot directly realize various designs or delicate images, and therefore users lose interest in nail beauty.

[0007] In other words, conventional nail beauty devices of the prior art only use images stored in the device to beautify nails, which not only reduces the enjoyment for the user but also limits the range of beauty treatments, making it impossible to perform nail beauty treatments with beautiful and diverse designs.

[0008] Therefore, there is a strong demand for the development of a nail art vending machine that allows users to beautifully and economically apply nails in a variety of designs as desired. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0079] In the following, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0080] Prior to describing the present invention, the following description of specific structures and functions is provided for the purpose of illustrating examples based on the concepts of the present invention, and examples based on the concepts of the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples described herein.

[0081] Furthermore, since embodiments based on the concept of the present invention may be variously modified and may have various forms, specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail herein, but it is not intended to limit the embodiments based on the concept of the present invention to the specific disclosed forms, and it should be understood that the invention includes all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and technical scope of the invention.

[0082] Furthermore, the configuration of the present invention is to be construed as including not only direct contact or connection, but also contact or connection between configurations via other configurations.

[0083] The nail art treatment vending machine according to the present invention preferably includes a casing body (110), a finger holding means (200), a nail measuring means (300), a nail art printing means (400), and a loading means.

[0084] Attached Figures 1(a), (b), and (c) are diagrams respectively showing the exterior, front, and side of the nail art treatment vending device of the present invention, and Figures 2(a) and (b) are diagrams showing the interior of the nail art treatment vending device of the present invention as seen from the front and back.

[0085] As shown in the figure, the casing body (110) has a roughly rectangular shape rising from the floor, and the following is preferably provided on the front surface:

[0086] Display window consisting of a general monitor (111) A hand insertion opening (112) formed so that the hand of the person receiving the nail art can be directly inserted to perform the nail art directly on the nail of the person receiving the nail art. If you choose to apply nail tips (12) or nail stickers (14) to the nails instead of directly applying nail art to the nails of the recipient, there is a discharge port (113) that can discharge the printed nail tips (12) or nail stickers (14).

[0087] These configurations allow for a variety of nail art treatments to be performed.

[0088] It is also desirable that a card slot (114) for payment be provided on one side of the casing body (110), and that a bar-shaped chair (115) with cushioning be installed in front of the casing body (110) so that the user can sit comfortably.

[0089] The accompanying Figure 3 is an exploded view of the main components provided inside the nail art treatment vending machine according to the present invention, and Figure 4 is a front view of Figure 3, showing the connection relationship between the finger holding means (200), nail measuring means (300), nail art printing means (400), and loading means.

[0090] Attached Figures 5(a), (b), (c), and (d) are diagrams showing the appearance and operation state of the finger holding means provided in the nail art treatment vending device according to the present invention, with only the finger holding means separated. Figure 6 is a diagram showing a state in which ink is sprayed from a printer and printed directly onto the nail portion of the finger of a patient positioned on the finger holding means shown in Figure 5.

[0091] As shown in the figure, the finger fixture (200) is used to directly fix the finger of the person to be treated who is going to have nail art done directly, and is preferably installed inside the casing body (110) in correspondence with the hand insertion opening (112) provided in the casing body (110) so as to be able to directly fix the finger of the person to be treated inserted through the hand insertion opening (112). Such a finger fixing means (200) preferably includes the following features:

[0092] Finger fixation stand (210) A base having a plurality of finger fixing grooves (212) on which the patient's fingers can be placed.

[0093] Tube-type finger support (220) A component that is installed in the finger fixing groove (212) of the finger fixing table (210) and expands with air pressure to fix the finger of the patient positioned in the finger fixing groove (212) so that it does not move.

[0094] Support cover(230) This component is installed to cover the top of the finger fixing stand (210) and protects the patient's finger fixed in the finger fixing groove (212) from touching the nozzle part of the nail art printing means, and has an open groove (232) formed in the area corresponding to the finger fixing groove (212) so that the nail of the fixed finger is exposed to the nozzle part of the nail art printing means.

[0095] This configuration makes it possible to safely and stably fix the finger while accurately exposing the portion of the nail to be printed.

[0096] In this case, it is desirable that the finger fixing groove (212) has a structure that can fix at least five fingers so that the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger can be placed and fixed. Specifically, it is desirable that three finger placement grooves and a hand placement hole (212a) for inserting and supporting the hand be formed symmetrically on both the left and right sides of the middle finger placement groove where the middle finger is placed.

[0097] As an example, after placing the middle finger of the left hand in the middle finger placement groove formed in the center, the ring finger and little finger are placed on the left side and the index finger on the right side, and then the right hand is inserted and fixed into the hand placement hole (212a). At this time, by printing with the thumb of the right hand placed in the remaining finger placement groove to the right of the middle finger placement groove, it is possible to print the index finger to little finger of the left hand and the thumb of the right hand simultaneously. Then, by performing the above operation in reverse, it is possible to print the thumb to little finger of the right hand and the thumb of the left hand.

[0098] This structure has the effect of making it easy to simultaneously treat the four fingers excluding the thumb of one hand and the thumb of the other hand, since there is a difference in length between the thumb and the other fingers of one hand (left or right hand).

[0099] The tube-type finger support 220 has a tube installed to support both sides of the finger placed in the finger support groove 212, and the finger can be supported by expanding the tube, i.e., by expanding the tube with an air compressor (not shown). This type of configuration is a commonly used technique for supporting legs or arms in massage machines.

[0100] FIG. 7 attached herewith is a diagram showing an example of use of the nail measuring means provided in the nail art treatment vending machine according to the present invention.

[0101] As shown in the figure, the nail measuring means (300) is preferably installed inside the casing body (110) so as to be positioned above the finger fixing means (200) when the fingers of the subject are fixed to the finger fixing means (200) in order to extract image data relating to each nail of the subject, and is configured to photograph the nail portion of each finger.

[0102] The nail measuring means (300) preferably comprises a camera (310) installed above the finger holding means (200) and a plurality of lighting lamps (320) to accurately recognize the outline of the nail for accurate nail measurement of the patient.

[0103] In this case, when photographing and recognizing nails with the camera (310), it is preferable to arrange the lighting lamps (320) at different positions and configure them to operate sequentially so that the shadow cast by the lighting lamps (320) does not interfere with accurate recognition of the boundary between the hand and the nails.

[0104] Specifically, when photographing and recognizing nails with a camera (310), if lighting is applied from only one direction, a shadow will be cast on the opposite side, making it difficult to accurately identify the boundary between the hand and the nail. To solve this problem, it is desirable to place multiple lighting lamps (320) in different positions and operate them sequentially to combine the images and enable the accurate distinction of the boundary between the hand and the nail.

[0105] In addition, the nail measurement means (300) is preferably constructed by an AI algorithm and is preferably equipped with a nail art image synthesis program that stores a large number of nail art images.

[0106] Therefore, it is desirable that the nail art image synthesis program processes the image extracted from the nail measurement means (300) using an AI algorithm, selects the most similar image from the nail images previously stored in the database, and synthesizes a nail art image for direct application to the nails.

[0107] Specifically, when a hand moves under the camera (310) of the nail measurement means (300), it is measured by the illumination lamp (320) and the camera (310), and nail image data is extracted. This extracted image is input into a nail art image synthesis program, and the most similar image is selected from pre-stored nail images. Then, it is desirable to synthesize the nail art image with this selected nail image so that printing can begin on the corresponding nail of the patient.

[0108] Attached Figures 8(a) and (b) are diagrams schematically illustrating the direction in which ink is sprayed onto the nails of a patient by the nail art printing means provided in the vending machine for nail art treatment according to the present invention.

[0109] As shown in the figure, the nail art printing means (400) preferably prints the nail art composite image data provided by the nail measuring means (300) by directly applying the image data onto the nails of the person to be treated.

[0110] It is also preferable that the nail art printing means 400 prints on nail art nail tips 12 or nail stickers 14 to be attached to the nails of the recipient, rather than directly on the nails of the recipient. In other words, it is preferable to print the selected nail art image data on the surface of the nail tips 12 or nail stickers 14 supplied from the loading means.

[0111] In this case, it is preferable that the nail art printing means 400 includes a UV printer, which is configured to spray ink from above toward the nail.

[0112] In the case of nail stickers (14), this does not pose a problem because they are flat, but the user's nail tips (artificial nails) and the patient's nails to be treated are curved, so the heights of the center part (c) and the left and right parts (s1, s2) are different.

[0113] In this case, the printed image will be dark and vivid in the center (c), but will be lighter in the left and right (s1, s2) areas. To solve this problem, you can adjust the printer speed using your regular printer software.

[0114] Specifically, the printer moves at a normal speed in the center (c), and moves slower in the left and right sections (s1, s2) than in the center (c), thereby increasing the amount of ink ejected. This method allows for uniform and clear printing results across the entire curved surface.

[0115] FIG. 9 attached herewith is a diagram showing UV LED wavelength control of the nail art vending machine according to the present invention.

[0116] The UV printer installed in the nail art printing means (400) of the present invention preferably prints on the recipient's nail (nail tip or nail sticker) at least three times using UV inks with different UV light wavelengths, such as color ink, white ink, and varnish, in order to obtain a clear nail art image.

[0117] It is desirable that each ink used in the nail art printing means (400) be irradiated with the wavelength of UV light required for curing, so that it can be cured quickly.

[0118] Furthermore, the ink used in the nail art printing means (400) of the present invention is UV ink that is harmless to the human body, and each color requires a different UV wavelength, which can be used to quickly harden each ink.

[0119] Therefore, in the present invention, it is desirable to recognize the color using a nail measurement camera, analyze and interpret the recognized data, and then transmit the information to a wavelength number appropriate for that data, and irradiate the corresponding wavelength of UV light to perform curing.

[0120] As shown in the figure, the loading means is preferably used to load a finger fixing means (200) so that printing can be performed directly on the nail of the patient using a nail art printing means (400), or to load a nail tip (12) or nail sticker (14) for nail art so that printing can be performed on the nail tip (12) or nail sticker (14) to be attached to the nail of the patient, rather than directly on the nail of the patient.

[0121] Therefore, the loading means of the present invention preferably includes a finger support loading means (510), a nail tip loading means (520), and a nail sticker loading means (530).

[0122] In the present invention, only one of the nail, nail tip 12, or nail sticker 14 is loaded by any one of the finger support loading means 510, nail tip loading means 520, and nail sticker loading means 530. Then, it is preferable to use the nail art printing means 400 to print directly onto the patient's nail or onto the nail tip 12 or nail sticker 14 for nail art to be attached to the patient's nail.

[0123] As shown in the figure, the finger holding table loading means (510) is preferably capable of loading the finger holding table (210) provided on the finger holding means (200) so that the nail portion of the finger placed on the finger holding means (200) is positioned below the nail art printing means (400) so that the nail art printing means (400) can directly print on the nails of the patient.

[0124] The finger holder loading means (510) preferably includes air cylinders (512) installed on both sides of the finger holder (210) to move the finger holder (210) provided on the finger holder means (200) to the bottom of the nail art printing means (400) (see FIG. 5(a)).

[0125] Therefore, by the extension and contraction of the air cylinder (512), the finger holding means (200) moves to the lower part of the nail art printing means (400), and printing for nail art application becomes possible.

[0126] 10A to 10L are views sequentially showing the operation process of the nail tip loading means provided in the nail art treatment vending device according to the present invention.

[0138] FIG. 10L: A diagram showing the state shown in FIG. 10K with the loading section raised.

[0139] 11a and 11b are views showing only the loading portion and upper support member of the nail tip loading means provided in the nail art treatment vending device according to the present invention.

[0140] As shown in the figure, the nail tip loading means (520) preferably has a structure that can supply the nail tips (12) stacked inside the casing body (110) to the bottom of the nail art printing means (400) so that the nail art printing means (400) can print on the nail tips (12) for nail art to be attached to the nails of the patient.

[0141] It is desirable that the nail tip loading means (520) has a loader section (540) that can be raised and lowered below the nail art printing means (400), a conveyor belt (521) is installed adjacent to the lowered position of the loader section (540), and a nail tip transport section (522) for transporting the nail tips (12) supplied by the conveyor belt (521) to the loader section (540).

[0142] Furthermore, it is preferable that nail chip loading sections 523, on which the nail chips 12 are loaded, are installed on both the left and right sides of the conveyor belt 521 installed in the nail chip transport section 522. It is preferable that a plurality of nail chip loading sections 523 are installed, and specifically, it is preferable that a total of six loading sections are installed, three on each side of the conveyor belt 521.

[0143] On the other hand, a nail tip supply unit (524) is installed below the nail tip loading unit (523), and it is desirable that the nail tips (12) loaded on the loading unit (523) can be sequentially supplied from the bottom to the conveyor belt (521). This nail tip supply unit (524) is preferably composed of the following elements: Motor (524a) Ball screw (524b) A supply piece (524c) that moves back and forth by the rotation of the ball screw (524b) and pushes out and supplies nail tips.

[0144] Specifically, a ball screw 524b is installed below the nail tip loading section 523 in the direction of the conveyor belt 521, and a supply piece 524c is connected to the ball screw 524b. The ball screw 524b is driven by a motor 524a, and can supply the nail tips 12 loaded on the nail tip loading section 523 to the conveyor belt 521 one by one from the bottom.

[0145] In addition, it is desirable to provide a nail chip transport unit (525) for transporting the nail chips (12) supplied to the conveyor belt (521) by the nail chip supply unit (524) and transported to the loader unit (540) by the conveyor belt (521) to the loader unit (540).

[0146] The nail tip transport unit (525) preferably includes a suction pad (526) that uses air pressure to suck and lift the nail tips (12) and place them on the loader unit (540). The suction pad (526) can transport the nail tips (12) from the conveyor belt (521) to the loader unit (540) by moving up and down and back and forth between the loader unit (540) and the conveyor belt (521). In this case, the suction pad (526) is preferably installed so that it can move up and down and back and forth using a lifting cylinder or a back and forth movement cylinder.

[0147] The nail tips 12 thus transported to the loader unit 540 by the nail tip transport unit 525 are then lifted up and down by the loader unit 540 to the bottom of the nail art printing means 400. It is preferable that the loader unit 540 is provided with a lifting plate 542 for lifting up and down the nail tips 12 transported by the nail tip transport unit 525.

[0148] At this time, it is desirable that the lifting and lowering of the lifting plate (542) be realized by the following structure: Motor (542a) installed under the lifting plate (542) The motor (542a) drives the lifting plate (542) to rotate via a belt, and the lifting plate (542) is controlled by ball screws (542b) that are set up vertically on both sides of the lifting plate (542).

[0149] Alternatively, cylinders may be provided on both sides of the lifting plate (542) to allow it to be raised and lowered.

[0150] Furthermore, it is desirable that a nail tip upper support member (544) installed at the bottom of the nail art printing means (400) is attached to the top of the lifting plate (542) at a predetermined distance, and that this structure supports the upper edge of the nail tip being lifted and lowered by the lifting plate (542).

[0151] In addition, it is desirable that the lifting plate (542) has a structure in which a rotating shaft is installed at the rear of the lifting plate (542) so that the nail tips (12) printed by the nail art printing means (400) can be discharged through the discharge opening (113) of the casing body (110), and the lifting plate (542) can be rotated by a predetermined angle at the position of the discharge opening (113) to discharge the printed nail tips (12) from the discharge opening (113).

[0152] The attached Figures 12(a), (b), and (c) show the nail sticker loading means (530) provided in the nail art treatment vending device according to the present invention, and Figures 13a and 13b are photographs of the nail sticker loading means taken from above.

[0153] As shown in the figure, the nail sticker loading means (530) preferably has a structure that can sequentially supply the nail stickers (14) stacked inside the casing body (110) to the bottom of the nail art printing means (400) so that the nail art printing means (400) can print on the nail stickers (14) for nail art to be attached to the nails of the patient.

[0154] The nail sticker loading means (530) has a loader section (540) that can be raised and lowered below the nail art printing means (400), and it is preferable that a nail sticker loading section (532) on which nail stickers (14) are loaded is installed at the upper rear of the loader section (540).

[0155] The loader unit 540 here is the same as the loader unit provided in the nail tip loading means 520. This allows for efficient supply and printing of both nail tips and nail stickers.

[0156] In addition, it is preferable to provide a nail sticker supply unit (533) for supplying the nail stickers (14) loaded on the nail sticker loading unit (532) one by one from the bottom.

[0157] The nail sticker supply unit (533) is preferably configured to have a roller (531) installed under the loading unit, and the nail stickers (14) are supplied one by one by the friction of the roller (531). In this case, it is preferable that half of the roller (531) is made of rubber material and the other half is made of slippery plastic material, so that only one sticker can be accurately delivered.

[0158] Furthermore, it is preferable that a nail sticker mounting plate 534 is provided on which the nail stickers 14 supplied by the nail sticker supply unit 533 are placed. The nail sticker mounting plate 534 is preferably connected to a rotation shaft at the rear and is installed so as to be rotatable to a predetermined angle. It is also preferable that the plate be structured so as to maintain a horizontal position when printing on the nail stickers 14 using the nail art printing means 400.

[0159] Such a nail sticker mounting plate (534) is preferably configured to perform the following operations.

[0160] When the nail tip loading means (520) is operated to raise and lower the loader part (540), the seating plate (534) rotates and is held in a vertical position so as not to interfere with the raising and lowering of the loader part (540).

[0161] When the nail sticker loading means (530) is operated and the loader part (540) moves up and down, the seating plate (534) rotates to a horizontal position and moves up and down together with the loader part (540).

[0162] That is, the nail sticker seating plate 534 maintains a vertical position when the nail tip 12 is loaded, so as not to interfere with the lifting and lowering of the lifting plate 542. On the other hand, it rotates to a horizontal position only when the nail sticker 14 is loaded, so that the nail sticker can be seated.

[0163] At this time, it is desirable that the nail sticker supply unit (533) is operated while the nail sticker mounting plate (534) is rotated horizontally, and the nail stickers supplied from the nail sticker loading unit (532) are accurately placed on the mounting plate (534).

[0164] In addition, it is preferable that the nail sticker mounting plate 534 has suction holes 535 for suctioning and supporting the nail sticker 14 by vacuum pressure. The suction holes 535 fix the nail sticker 14 to the mounting plate 534 so that it does not move, enabling accurate printing by the nail art printing means 400.

[0165] Meanwhile, the loader unit 540 has a lifting plate 542 installed therein so as to be movable up and down to support the lower part of the nail sticker mounting plate 534. The lifting plate 542 is preferably connected to a rotating shaft at the rear thereof so as to be able to rotate a predetermined angle together with the nail sticker mounting plate 534 at the position of the discharge opening 113 so as to discharge the nail stickers 14 printed by the nail art printing means 400 through the discharge opening 113 provided in the casing body 110.

[0166] This structure allows the nail sticker (14) to be stably fixed and accurately printed, and then smoothly ejected.

[0167] FIG. 14 is a block diagram of a vending machine for nail art treatment according to the present invention. FIG. 15 is a block diagram of the loading stage shown in FIG. 14; FIG. 16 is a block diagram of the entire nail art treatment vending method according to the present invention; FIG. 17 is a flow chart showing the steps of applying a desired design or pattern to the nails of a person to be treated using the nail art vending machine according to the present invention.

[0168] As shown in the figure, the nail art vending method according to the present invention includes a finger fixing step (S101) in which the fingers of a person to whom nail art is to be applied are directly fixed to a finger fixing means (200) through a hand insertion opening (112) provided in a casing body (110); a nail measuring step (S102) in which, when the fingers of the person to be applied are fixed in the finger fixing step (S101), a nail measuring means (300) is used to take an image of the nail portion of each finger so that image data of each nail of the person to be applied can be extracted; and a nail fixing means (200) is loaded to directly apply nail art to the person's nails based on the composite image data of the nail art provided in the nail measuring step (S102), or a nail tip (12) or a nail sticker is loaded to the person to apply nail art to the person's nails if the nail art is not to be applied directly to the person's nails. It is preferable that the method further includes a loading step (S103) of loading the nail measuring means (14) and a printing step (S104) of printing the nail art composite image data provided from the nail measuring means directly onto the nail of the person to be treated, or printing the selected nail art image data on the surface of the nail tip (12) or nail sticker (14) provided from the loading step (S103).

[0169] At this time, the loading step (S103) preferably includes a finger holder loading step (S103-1), a nail tip loading step (S103-2), and a nail sticker loading step (S103-3).

[0170] The finger fixing table loading step (S103-1) involves loading the finger fixing table so that the nail portion of the finger installed on the finger fixing means (200) is positioned below the nail art printing means (400) so that the nail art printing can be performed directly on the nails of the patient using the nail art printing means (400).

[0171] The nail tip loading step (S103-2) involves supplying the nail tips stacked inside the casing body (110) to the bottom of the nail art printing means (400) so that the nail art printing means (400) can print on the nail tips for nail art to be attached to the nails of the patient.

[0172] The nail sticker loading step (S103-3) sequentially supplies nail stickers stacked inside the casing body (110) to the bottom of the nail art printing means (400) so that the nail stickers can be printed onto nail art stickers to be attached to the nails of the patient by the nail art printing means (400).

[0173] Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable to perform only one of the steps of loading a finger support (S103-1), loading a nail tip (S103-2), and loading a nail sticker (S103-3), and then in the printing step (S104), the nail is directly applied to the nail of the patient or printed on a nail tip or nail sticker for nail art to be attached to the nail of the patient.

[0174] Furthermore, the step (S102) of measuring the fingernails by the fingernail measuring means (300) preferably includes the following steps.

[0175] First Stage (S102-1) The subject's finger, which is fixed to the finger fixing means, is scanned with a 3D scanner.

[0176] Second Stage (S102-2) After the scan is complete, a photograph is taken using the fingernail measuring means to obtain an image of the user's hand.

[0177] Third Stage (S102-3) The background is removed from the captured image and the finger area is extracted using algorithms and guides.

[0178] Stage 4 (S102-4) Position information of the nails is extracted from the extracted finger area.

[0179] Stage 5 (S102-5) Based on the extracted position information of the nail, a candidate area of ​​the nail to be treated is set.

[0180] Stage 6 (S102-6) An existing image selected by the user or a nail art image created by the user is matched to a nail candidate area using nail information.

[0181] The selected nail art image information is sent to a nail art printing means, and is preferably printed directly on the user's nail candidate area or printed on a nail tip or nail sticker.

[0182] At this time, it is preferable that the scanning by the 3D scanner in the first step (S102-1) is performed by generating a 3D mesh, correcting errors in the generated mesh, and correcting the Z value scale.

[0183] In addition, in the fourth step (S102-4) of extracting fingernail position information and the fifth step (S102-5) of setting fingernail candidate regions, it is preferable to select a group of fingernail candidates from a hand image database through region matching, then extract fingernail position information through noise removal, model selection and training, evaluation through cross-validation, and detailed model tuning.

[0184] In the sixth step (S102-6), it is desirable to use a nail art image synthesis program created with an AI algorithm to select the image most similar to the image of the nails extracted from the recipient's fingernails that has been previously entered into a database, and then use that image to synthesize a nail art image to be applied directly to the fingernails.

[0185] A method for performing nail art according to the present invention will now be described.

[0186] First, the user selects whether to apply the nail art directly to the nail or to print it on a nail tip or a nail sticker, and then the finger for the nail art treatment is fixed to the finger fixing means (200) through the hand insertion opening (112) provided in the casing body (110).

[0187] When the fingers of the patient are fixed to the finger fixing means (200) in this manner, the nail portion of each of the patient's fingers is photographed in order to extract image data relating to each of the patient's nails using the nail measuring means (300).

[0188] In this case, the photographing by the nail measuring means (300) is performed by scanning the subject's finger fixed to the finger fixing means with a 3D scanner, generating a 3D mesh, correcting errors in the generated mesh, and correcting the Z-value scale.

[0189] After the scan is completed, the nail measurement means begins photographing the recipient's hand to obtain an image of the user's hand, and the background is removed from the photographed image, the finger area is extracted, and nail position information is extracted from the extracted finger area.

[0190] In this case, nail position information is extracted through region matching to select nail candidates from a hand image database, followed by noise removal, model selection and training, evaluation through cross-validation, and detailed model tuning.

[0191] Furthermore, a candidate area for the nail to be treated is set based on the extracted position information of the nail, and an existing image selected by the user or a nail art image created by the user is matched with the candidate area for the nail using a nail art image synthesis program.

[0192] This image matching for the nail candidate area involves using a nail art image synthesis program created by an AI algorithm to select the image most similar to the nail images previously entered into a database from the image extracted from the patient's nail, and then using that image to synthesize the nail art image to be applied directly to the nail.

[0193] The nail art image information selected through these steps is immediately sent to the nail art printing means (400) and printed directly on the nail candidate area by a UV printer, completing the procedure.

[0194] On the other hand, if the user initially selects to apply nail art directly, the finger support loading means is operated, and the nail is positioned below the printing means, and printing is performed directly on the user's nail. If the user does not select to apply nail art directly, but instead selects to print on nail tips or nail stickers for nail art, the nail tip loading means or nail sticker loading means is operated, and the nail tips or nail stickers are loaded below the nail art printing means. Then, the nail art image data selected by the user is printed on the surface of the loaded nail tips or nail stickers by the nail art printing means (400) and then discharged.

[0195] According to the present invention, the nail art composite image data provided by the nail measurement means can be printed directly onto the nails of the recipient as a treatment, or printed onto nail art nail tips or nail stickers to be attached to the nails of the recipient, depending on the user's selection, allowing consumers to experience the fun and beauty of nail art.

[0196] The technical object of the present invention is achieved by the technical configuration as described above, and has been described based on limited examples and drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it goes without saying that various modifications and variations can be made by a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains within the technical spirit of the present invention and the equivalent scope of the claims set forth below.
