[0020] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a functional module of a beauty device according to an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application provides a beauty device 100. In some embodiments, the beauty device 100 can be set to multiple operating modes and can emit one or multiple preset pulsed light beams. This allows the beauty device to perform different skin care methods on the human body through multiple operating modes, meeting different functional needs of users for skin beauty, and providing excellent functional diversity. In some embodiments, the beauty device 100 may be an electronic device used for skin beauty, such as, but not limited to, a beauty device, a skin beauty device, a hair removal device, or a skin care device.

[0021] The cosmetic device 100 includes a power storage module 10, a light emitting module 20, and a control module 30.

[0022] The energy storage module 10 stores electrical energy and is used for charging and discharging. In some embodiments, the energy storage module 10 may be a rechargeable battery or a capacitor.

[0023] The light-emitting module 20 is connected to the storage module 10, and emits light based on power supplied from the storage module. In some embodiments, the light-emitting module 20 may be, but is not limited to, a xenon lamp or other electronic device capable of emitting light. The light-emitting module 20 can emit a preset pulsed light beam using the electrical energy emitted from the storage module 10. In some embodiments, the light-emitting module 20 can emit light beams to a user's skin for skin beauty treatment.

[0024] The control module 30 is connected to the storage module 10 and the light-emitting module 20, respectively. The control module 30 sets the operation mode of the beauty device 100, determines the charging status of the storage module 10, and controls the operation of the light-emitting module 20. In some embodiments, the control module 30 may be a controller or chip with data and information processing capabilities, such as, but not limited to, a microcontroller unit.

[0025] 2 is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a cosmetic device according to an embodiment of the present application. Illustratively, the control method illustrated in FIG. 2 is performed by the cosmetic device 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 and includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S211: The Nth light emission mode set in the cosmetic device is obtained.

[0027] In some embodiments, after the cosmetic device 100 is turned on and enters a preset operating mode, the control module 30 can obtain the Nth light-emitting mode set in the cosmetic device 100, and the control module 30 can control the charging of the power storage module 10. In some embodiments, the light-emitting modes set in the cosmetic device 100 include the first light-emitting mode through the Nth light-emitting mode. For example, the first light-emitting mode, the second light-emitting mode, ..., the (N-1)th light-emitting mode, and the Nth light-emitting mode. Here, N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. When N is 1, the light-emitting mode is the first light-emitting mode; when N is 2, the light-emitting mode is the second light-emitting mode; and similarly, when N is 3 or greater. In some embodiments, the Nth light-emitting mode indicates that the light-emitting module 20 emits light N times in that light-emitting mode. Since the first light-emitting mode, the second light-emitting mode, ..., the N-1th light-emitting mode, and the N-th light-emitting mode are defined by the number of times the light-emitting module 20 continuously emits light, they may also be referred to as a single-pulse mode, a two-pulse mode, a three-pulse mode, ..., the N-1th pulse mode, and an N-pulse mode. In some embodiments, the light-emitting mode may be a default setting. In other embodiments, the light-emitting mode may be customized by a user. For example, the cosmetic device 100 may be provided with a touchscreen, buttons, or other input method that allows a user to select or set the light-emitting mode. In still other embodiments, the cosmetic device 100 may automatically identify the user's skin type or condition and automatically adjust the light-emitting mode. This application is not limited thereto.

[0028] In some embodiments, the energy storage module 10 is charged by connecting to an external power source, or by connecting to an external power source via a voltage conversion module, although the present application is not limited in this respect.

[0029] Step S212: According to the Nth light-emitting mode, set the number of times that the light-emitting module will emit N pulsed light beams and a preset threshold value corresponding to each pulsed light beam emission, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0030] In some embodiments, the control module 30 may set, based on the acquired Nth light-emitting mode, the number of times the light-emitting module irradiates a pulsed light beam N times and a preset threshold corresponding to each pulsed light irradiation. For example, when N is 1, the control module 30 may set, based on the acquired first light-emitting mode, the number of times the light-emitting module irradiates a pulsed light beam once and a first preset threshold corresponding to each pulsed light irradiation. When N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, the control module 30 may set, based on the acquired Nth light-emitting mode, the number of times the light-emitting module irradiates a pulsed light beam N times and a first preset threshold, a second preset threshold, ..., an (N-1)th preset threshold, and an (N)th preset threshold. For example, when N is 3, the control module 30 may set, based on the acquired third light-emitting mode, the number of times the light-emitting module irradiates a pulsed light beam three times and a first preset threshold, a second preset threshold, and a third preset threshold corresponding to each pulsed light irradiation. In some embodiments, the preset threshold is a pulse voltage threshold or a charging time threshold, and in some embodiments, the first to Nth preset thresholds correspond to pulse voltage thresholds or charging time thresholds that the energy storage module 10 needs to charge at each of N light irradiations in the Nth light-emitting mode.

[0031] Step S213: Charge the storage module. When the storage module is charged to the first preset threshold of the Nth light-emitting mode and it is determined that the light-emitting module is triggered, make the light-emitting module emit a first pulse of light.

[0032] The control module 30 can detect and determine the charging status of the storage module 10. For example, the control module 30 detects the current voltage of the storage module 10 and compares the detected voltage with the first to Nth preset thresholds to determine whether the storage module 10 has been charged to any of the first to Nth preset thresholds for the Nth light-emitting mode. When the control module 30 determines that the storage module 10 has been charged to the first preset threshold for the Nth light-emitting mode and that the light-emitting module 20 has been triggered (i.e., the light-emitting module 20 has satisfied the first trigger condition), the control module 30 causes the light-emitting module 20 to emit a first pulse of light. In some embodiments, the light-emitting module 20 satisfying the first trigger condition includes the light-emitting port of the light-emitting module 20 being in sufficient contact with the user's skin (the light-emitting port being at least partially covered by the user's skin) and the trigger button being triggered. Whether the light outlet of the light-emitting module 20 is in sufficient contact with the user's skin can be determined by a distance detection module installed at the light outlet detecting a preset distance threshold. That is, when the control module 30 determines that the power storage module 10 is charged to a first preset threshold, the light outlet of the light-emitting module 20 is in sufficient contact with the user's skin, and the trigger button is triggered, the control module 30 controls the light-emitting module 20 to emit a first pulse of light. As can be understood, the distance detection module is used to detect contact or the relative distance between the cosmetic device 100 and the skin, and the detection result of the distance detection module can be used to determine whether the light outlet of the light-emitting module 20 is in sufficient contact with the user's skin. In this case, if the distance detection module detects the preset threshold, the light-emitting module 20 will emit a first pulse of light to the user's skin, thereby achieving skin beautification. The distance detection module is an existing technology and may be, but is not limited to, an optical sensor detection module, an ultrasonic detection module, a capacitor detection module, a resistor detection module, etc. The operating principle of detecting a preset threshold to determine the contact state with the skin will not be further discussed here.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 3 , in some embodiments, the light-emitting module 20 may include a distance detection module 22 and a trigger button 24. The light outlet, which is the outlet through which the light-emitting module 20 emits light, may be provided at one end of the body of the cosmetic device 100. The distance detection module 22 is provided at the end of the light outlet and detects distance information to determine whether the light outlet is in sufficient contact with the user's skin. For example, when a user uses and operates the cosmetic device 100, the light outlet may be brought into close contact with the user's skin. The distance detection module 22 provided at the light outlet may detect that the current distance is equal to or less than a preset distance threshold, thereby determining that the light outlet is in sufficient contact with the user's skin. When the light outlet is in sufficient contact with the user's skin, the pulsed light emitted by the light-emitting module 20 through the light outlet can directly reach the user's skin, preventing light leakage and improving the safety of the cosmetic device 100. The trigger button 24 is provided on the body of the cosmetic device 100 and is used to receive a trigger operation (e.g., a press or touch) from the user. In some embodiments, the trigger button 24 may be, but is not limited to, a physical button or a touch button. When the user operates the trigger, a corresponding trigger signal is sent to the control module 30, and the control module 30 determines that the trigger button 24 has been triggered based on the trigger signal. The specific configuration and operating principle of the trigger button 24 are known in the art, and therefore will not be further discussed herein.

[0034] Step S214: Determine whether the pulsed light irradiation has been completed N times.

[0035] The control module 30 determines whether N pulsed light beams have been emitted. In some embodiments, the control module 30 determines whether N pulsed light beams have been emitted based on the Nth light-emitting mode set in the cosmetic device 100. For example, when the cosmetic device 100 is set to the first light-emitting mode, after the light-emitting module 20 emits the first pulsed light beam, the control module 30 determines that one pulsed light beam emission corresponding to the first light-emitting mode has been completed, and the operation flow of the first light-emitting mode ends. When the cosmetic device 100 is set to the Nth light-emitting mode, after the light-emitting module 20 emits the Nth pulsed light beam, the control module 30 determines that N pulsed light beams have been emitted, and the operation flow of the Nth light-emitting mode ends. If the control module 30 determines that N pulsed light beams have not been emitted, the method may execute step S215. In some embodiments, when the control module 30 determines that N pulsed light beams have been emitted, the method may return to step S211 and continue execution.

[0036] Step S215: Continue charging the storage module. When the storage module is charged to a preset threshold corresponding to the next pulsed light irradiation and it is determined that the light-emitting module has been triggered, the light-emitting module is caused to emit the next pulsed light.

[0037] In some embodiments, after the storage module 10 discharges to the light-emitting module 20 and the light-emitting module 20 emits a pulsed light beam, the electrical energy stored in the storage module 10 is partially or completely reduced, and the storage module 10 needs to be charged to the next preset threshold to obtain the electrical energy required for the light-emitting module 20 to emit the next pulsed light beam. When the light-emitting module 20 completes the next pulsed light beam emission, the step of determining whether N pulsed light beam emission has been completed is repeatedly performed, and this is repeated until N pulsed light beam emission has been completed. In some embodiments, when the light-emitting module 20 completes the next pulsed light beam emission, the process can return to step S214 to determine whether N pulsed light beam emission has been completed, and this is repeated until N pulsed light emission has been completed.

[0038] When the control module 30 determines that the storage module 10 is charged to the Nth preset threshold and the light-emitting module 20 is triggered (i.e., the light-emitting module 20 satisfies the second trigger condition), the control module 30 causes the light-emitting module 20 to emit the Nth pulsed light beam. In some embodiments, the light-emitting module 20 satisfying the second trigger condition includes the light outlet of the light-emitting module 20 being in sufficient contact with the user's skin (i.e., the light outlet is at least partially covered by the user's skin). That is, when the control module 30 determines that the storage module 10 is charged to the Nth preset threshold and the distance detection module detects the preset distance threshold, the control module 30 causes the light-emitting module 20 to emit the Nth pulsed light beam. As will be understood, the light outlet of the light-emitting module 20 can be at least partially or completely covered by the user's skin, and the light-emitting module 20 can emit the Nth pulsed light beam to the user's skin for skin beauty treatment.

[0039] In some embodiments, if the light-emitting module 20 does not satisfy the second trigger condition, i.e., if the control module 30 determines based on the detection result of the distance detection module 22 that the light outlet of the light-emitting module 20 is not in sufficient contact with the user's skin, i.e., if the distance detection module 22 does not detect the preset distance threshold, light emission is terminated. For example, if the light-emitting module 20 does not satisfy the second trigger condition during the process of charging the storage module 10 to the Nth preset threshold after emitting the (N-1)th pulsed light, i.e., if the control module 30 determines based on the detection result of the distance detection module 22 that the light outlet of the light-emitting module 20 is not in sufficient contact with the user's skin, e.g., if the light outlet is separated from the user's skin and the distance detection module 22 does not detect the preset distance threshold, light emission is terminated. This prevents the light-emitting module 20 from emitting light when the light outlet is not in sufficient contact with the user's skin, i.e., prevents light leakage, and improves the safety of the cosmetic device 100.

[0040] The control method of the beauty device in one embodiment of the present invention charges the storage module 10 at different stages according to the light emission mode set in the beauty device 100, so that the light emission module 20 can emit pulsed light 1 to N times according to different charging stages. This allows the beauty device 100 to perform different skin care methods using various light emission methods, meet the different functional needs of users for skin beauty, and improve the functional versatility of the beauty device 100.

[0041] Furthermore, when the beauty device 100 is set to the Nth light-emitting mode, the storage module 10 is charged to a first preset threshold, and when the light-emitting module 20 meets a first trigger condition, i.e., when the light outlet of the light-emitting module 20 is in sufficient contact with the user's skin and the trigger button 24 is triggered, the storage module 10 releases electrical energy to the light-emitting module 20, causing the light-emitting module 20 to emit the first pulsed light. The storage module 10 is charged to a preset threshold corresponding to the next pulsed light emission, and when the light-emitting module 20 meets a second trigger condition, i.e., when the light outlet of the light-emitting module 20 is in sufficient contact with the user's skin, the storage module 10 releases electrical energy to the light-emitting module 20, causing the light-emitting module 20 to emit the next pulsed light. This process is repeated until the Nth pulsed light emission is completed. This means that when a user uses the beauty device 100 in the Nth light emission mode, they can sequentially emit N pulsed light beams by simply operating the trigger button 24 once, making user operation more convenient and improving the user experience.

[0042] 4 is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a cosmetic device according to another embodiment of the present application. Illustratively, the control method illustrated in FIG. 4 is performed by the cosmetic device 100 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3, and includes the following steps:

[0043] Step S411: The Nth light emission mode set in the cosmetic device is obtained.

[0044] For a detailed description of step S411, please refer to step S211 in FIG. 2 and the related descriptions in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, and the description will not be repeated here.

[0045] Step S412: Obtain the pulsed light energy level in the Nth light emission mode set in the cosmetic device, and set a first preset threshold corresponding to the first pulsed light irradiation to an Nth preset threshold corresponding to the Nth pulsed light irradiation based on the pulsed light energy level, where N is a positive integer equal to or greater than 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, the Nth light-emitting mode further includes a pulsed light energy level. After the control module 30 acquires the Nth light-emitting mode set in the cosmetic device 100, the control module 30 can further acquire the pulsed light energy level for the Nth light-emitting mode set in the cosmetic device 100. Based on the pulsed light energy level, the control module 30 can set a first preset threshold corresponding to the first pulsed light irradiation and an Nth preset threshold corresponding to the Nth pulsed light irradiation. In some embodiments, a preset threshold, such as a pulse voltage threshold, corresponding to each pulsed light irradiation can be set for each pulsed light energy level in the Nth light-emitting mode. For example, the control module 30 can set a first level, a second level, a third level, ..., an Mth level, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. Each level corresponds to a different energy level, and the light-emitting module 20 can emit pulsed light of different energies at different levels. Correspondingly, different preset thresholds need to be set for the power storage module 10.

[0047] In some embodiments, when N is 1, the control module 30 obtains the pulsed light energy level when the cosmetic device 100 is set to the first light emission mode, and sets a first preset threshold corresponding to the first pulsed light irradiation based on the pulsed light energy level.

[0048] In some embodiments, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, the control module 30 obtains the pulsed light energy level when the cosmetic device 100 is set to the Nth light-emitting mode and sets a first preset threshold corresponding to the first pulsed light irradiation to an Nth preset threshold corresponding to the Nth pulsed light irradiation based on the pulsed light energy level. As can be understood, when the cosmetic device 100 is set to the Nth light-emitting mode, the control module 30 can set the first preset threshold, the second preset threshold, ..., the N-1th preset threshold, and the Nth preset threshold based on the pulsed light energy level in the Nth light-emitting mode. This allows the charging pulse voltage threshold or charging time when the storage module 10 performs N pulsed light irradiations in the Nth light-emitting mode to be set. In some embodiments, the magnitudes of the first preset threshold to the Nth preset threshold can be different, for example, gradually increasing. For example, if N is 3, the first preset threshold may be set to 100V, the second preset threshold may be set to 150V, and the third preset threshold may be set to 200V.

[0049] In some embodiments, in the Nth light-emitting mode, when N is 3 or greater, the time intervals between successively irradiated pulsed light beams are different in length. For example, there is a first time interval between the (N-2)th and (N-1)th pulsed light beam irradiations, and a second time interval between the (N-1)th and (N)th pulsed light beam irradiations. Here, the lengths of the first and second time intervals are different. That is, there is a time interval between two adjacent pulsed light beam irradiations, and the lengths of the two adjacent time intervals are different. For example, when N is 3, i.e., in the third light-emitting mode, there is a first time interval t1 between the first and second pulsed light beam irradiations, and a second time interval t2 between the second and third pulsed light beam irradiations, and the lengths of the first and second time intervals t1 and t2 are different. In some embodiments, this time interval may be the charging time of the energy storage module 10. Since the magnitudes from the first preset threshold to the Nth preset threshold are different, the charging time of the storage module 10 is also different, and as a result, the time interval between successively irradiated pulsed light rays is also different.

[0050] Step S413: Set the first pulse width of the first pulsed light beam to the Nth pulse width of the Nth pulsed light beam in the Nth light-emitting mode. The pulse width represents the time during which the light-emitting module irradiates the pulsed light beam.

[0051] In some embodiments, the control module 30 can set pulse widths corresponding to N pulsed light beams emitted in the Nth light-emitting mode. For example, when N is 3 or greater, the control module 30 can set a first pulse width for the light-emitting module 20 to emit a first pulsed light beam, a second pulse width for the light-emitting module 20 to emit a second pulsed light beam, ..., an Nth pulse width for the light-emitting module 20 to emit an Nth pulsed light beam. Here, the first pulse width represents the time during which the light-emitting module 20 emits the first pulsed light beam, the second pulse width represents the time during which the light-emitting module 20 emits the second pulsed light beam, ..., the Nth pulse width represents the time during which the light-emitting module 20 emits the Nth pulsed light beam. For example, when N is 3, i.e., in the third light-emitting mode, the control module 30 can set the first pulse width to 0.2 milliseconds, the second pulse width to 0.5 milliseconds, and the third pulse width to 0.8 milliseconds. That is, the duration for which the light output module 20 emits the first pulsed light beam is set to 0.2 milliseconds, the duration for which the light output module 20 emits the second pulsed light beam is set to 0.5 milliseconds, and the duration for which the light output module 20 emits the third pulsed light beam is set to 0.8 milliseconds.

[0052] It should be understood that the execution order of steps S412 and S413 can be reversed, or these two steps can be executed simultaneously or integrated into one step, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0053] Step S414: Charge the storage module. When the storage module is charged to the first preset threshold of the Nth light-emitting mode and it is determined that the light-emitting module is triggered, make the light-emitting module emit a first pulse of light.

[0054] For a detailed description of step S414, please refer to step S213 in Figure 2 and the related descriptions in Figures 1 and 3. This will not be repeated here.

[0055] Step S415: Determine whether the N pulsed light irradiations have been completed.

[0056] For a detailed description of step S415, please refer to step S214 in Figure 2 and the related descriptions in Figures 1 and 3. This will not be repeated here.

[0057] In some embodiments, if control module 30 determines that N pulsed light irradiations have been completed, the method may return to step S411 and continue execution. If control module 30 determines that N pulsed light irradiations have not been completed, the method may execute step S416.

[0058] Step S416: Continue charging the storage module. When the storage module is charged to a preset threshold corresponding to the next pulsed light irradiation and it is determined that the light-emitting module has been triggered, the light-emitting module is caused to emit the next pulsed light.

[0059] For a detailed description of step S416, please refer to step S215 in Figure 2 and the related descriptions in Figures 1 and 3. This will not be repeated here.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 3, the cosmetic device 100 may further include a cooling module 40.

[0061] The cooling module 40 is used to reduce the temperature.

[0062] In some embodiments, the cooling module 40 can be installed around the light outlet of the light-emitting module 20. When the light outlet is in close contact with the user's skin, the cooling module 40 also comes into close contact with the user's skin. When the light-emitting module 20 irradiates the user's skin with pulsed light, the energy of the pulsed light may generate a certain amount of heat. The cooling module 40 can cool the user's skin to lower its temperature and offset the heat generated by the energy of the pulsed light. This improves the user's comfort when using the beauty device 100.

[0063] The cooling module 40 can operate at different power levels to produce different cooling effects. In some embodiments, the operating modes of the cosmetic device 100 can further include an ice pack mode. When the cosmetic device 100 is set to the ice pack mode, the cooling module 40 operates at a first power level. When the cosmetic device 100 is set to the Nth light-emitting mode, the cooling module 40 operates at a second power level. Here, the second power level is lower than the first power level, i.e., the cooling intensity of the cooling module 40 in the ice pack mode is greater than the cooling intensity in the Nth light-emitting mode. When in the ice pack mode, the cooling module 40 can produce a greater cooling intensity, achieving a care effect similar to that of an ice pack or cold therapy on the user's skin.

[0064] In some embodiments, the cooling module 40 may include a semiconductor cooling element and a thermally conductive member, where the thermally conductive member may be, but is not limited to, sapphire, glass, etc.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 3 , the cosmetic device 100 may further include a light-changing module 50. The light-changing module 50 emits different colored light beams to support different operating modes of the cosmetic device 100. The colored light beams emitted by the light-changing module 50 are directed in approximately the same direction as the pulsed light beams emitted by the light-emitting module 20, and can be irradiated onto the user's skin together. In some embodiments, when the cosmetic device 100 is set to an Nth light-emitting mode, the light-emitting module 20 emits the first to Nth pulsed light beams, while the light-emitting module 20 emits the first to Nth pulsed light beams, respectively. When the cosmetic device 100 is set to an ice pack mode, the light-changing module 50 emits the N+1th colored light beam, where the first color, the Nth color, and the N+1th color are different. In some embodiments, the light-changing module 50 may be, but is not limited to, an LED. For example, when the cosmetic device 100 is set to the Nth light-emitting mode and the light-emitting module 20 emits a first pulsed light beam, the light-changing module 50 can emit red light, which helps the first pulsed light beam achieve skin-beautifying effects such as whitening and blemish reduction. When the cosmetic device 100 is set to the Nth light-emitting mode and the light-emitting module 20 emits a second pulsed light beam, the light-changing module 50 can emit yellow light, which helps the second pulsed light beam achieve skin-beautifying effects such as reducing redness and pockmarks. When the cosmetic device 100 is set to the Nth light-emitting mode and the light-emitting module 20 emits a third pulsed light beam, the light-changing module 50 can emit red and yellow light, which helps the third pulsed light beam achieve skin-beautifying effects such as reducing rough skin and brightening skin. When the cosmetic device 100 is set to the ice pack mode, the light-changing module 50 can emit a pale yellow light, which helps the ice pack mode achieve a soothing effect.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 3, the cosmetic device 100 may further include a heat dissipation module 60 and an instruction module 70.

[0067] The heat dissipation module 60 dissipates heat when the cosmetic device 100 is in operation. As will be understood, when the cosmetic device 100 is in operation, related modules such as the power storage module 10 (charging and discharging), the light emitting module 20 (pulsed light emission), the control module 30 (operation), the cooling module 40 (cooling), and the light modulation module 50 (light emission) generate a certain amount of heat within the body of the cosmetic device 100. The heat dissipation module 60 dissipates the heat from within the body of the cosmetic device 100 to the outside of the body, preventing the cosmetic device 100 from overheating and improving the safety of use of the cosmetic device 100. In some embodiments, the light outlets of the heat dissipation module 60 and the light emitting module 20 may be located at opposite ends of the body of the cosmetic device 100. The light outlet is located at the end closest to the user's skin, and the heat dissipation module 60 is located at the end farther from the user's skin to prevent the dissipated heat from affecting the user and improving the user experience. As can be understood, when the cosmetic device 100 is turned on, the heat dissipation module 60 is simultaneously turned on to dissipate heat, and when the cosmetic device 100 is shut down, the heat dissipation module 60 is stopped.

[0068] The instruction module 70 indicates different operating modes of the cosmetic device 100. In some embodiments, the instruction module 70 can distinguish and indicate the current operating mode of the cosmetic device 100, and may be, but is not limited to, a display or an LED indicator. When the cosmetic device 100 is set to the Nth light-emitting mode or the ice pack mode, the instruction module 70 can indicate different modes. For example, when N is 1, i.e., when the cosmetic device 100 is set to the first light-emitting mode, the instruction module 70 can display a first instruction. When the cosmetic device 100 is set to the Nth light-emitting mode, the instruction module 70 can display an Nth instruction. When the cosmetic device 100 is set to the ice pack mode, the instruction module 70 can display an N+1th instruction. Here, the instruction may be, but is not limited to, text or image information on a display, LED on / off or color information, etc. In this way, the current operating mode of the cosmetic device 100 is indicated by different instruction information, making it easier for the user to observe.

[0069] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a cosmetic device according to another embodiment of the present application.

[0070] Illustratively, the control method shown in FIG. 5 is performed by the cosmetic device 100 shown in FIG. 3 and includes the following steps.

[0071] Step S511: The beauty device is started up, and the heat dissipation module and the cooling module are activated.

[0072] In some embodiments, after the cosmetic device 100 is activated, the heat dissipation module 60 and the cooling module 40 are activated accordingly. The heat dissipation module 60 operates to dissipate heat from the cosmetic device 100, and the cooling module 40 operates with the second power.

[0073] In some other embodiments, when the cosmetic device 100 is started for the first time, a step of initializing system data is also included.

[0074] Step S512: The operation mode set in the cosmetic device is acquired.

[0075] In some embodiments, the user can set the operation mode of the cosmetic device 100 through operation, and the control module 30 acquires the operation mode set in the cosmetic device 100 .

[0076] In some embodiments, the operating mode set in the cosmetic device 100 may include an Nth light emission mode or an ice pack mode.

[0077] For a detailed description of step S512, please refer to step S211 in FIG. 2 and the related descriptions in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, and the description will not be repeated here.

[0078] Step S513: Set the pulsed light energy level when the cosmetic device is set to the Nth light emission mode, and set a first preset threshold corresponding to the first pulsed light irradiation to an Nth preset threshold corresponding to the Nth pulsed light irradiation based on the pulsed light energy level, where N is a positive integer equal to or greater than 1.

[0079] For a detailed description of step S513, please refer to step S212 in FIG. 2, step S412 in FIG. 4, and the related descriptions in FIGS. 1 and 3, and the description will not be repeated here.

[0080] In some embodiments, when N is 1, i.e., when the cosmetic device 100 is set to the first light-emitting mode, the prompting module 70 displays the first prompting information, indicating that the cosmetic device 100 is currently set to the first light-emitting mode. When the cosmetic device is set to the Nth light-emitting mode, the prompting module 70 displays the Nth prompting information, indicating that the cosmetic device 100 is currently set to the Nth light-emitting mode.

[0081] Step S514: Set the first pulse width of the first pulse light beam to the Nth pulse width of the Nth pulse light beam in the Nth light-emitting mode. The pulse width represents the time during which the light-emitting module irradiates the pulse light beam.

[0082] For a detailed description of step S514, please refer to step S413 in FIG. 4 and the related descriptions in FIGS. 1 and 3, and the description will not be repeated here.

[0083] It should be understood that the order of steps S513 and S514 can be reversed, or these two steps can be performed simultaneously or integrated into one step. This application is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, steps S513 and S514 can be replaced with step S212 in FIG. 2 and the related descriptions in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3.

[0084] Step S515: Charge the storage module. When the storage module is charged to the first preset threshold of the Nth light-emitting mode and it is determined that the light-emitting module is triggered, make the light-emitting module emit a first pulsed light beam.

[0085] For a detailed description of step S515, please refer to step S213 in FIG. 2 and the related descriptions in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, and the description will not be repeated here.

[0086] In some embodiments, when N is 1, that is, when the cosmetic device 100 is set to the first light-emitting mode, and the light-emitting module 20 emits the first pulsed light, the light-changing module 50 can simultaneously emit a light of a first color. It can be understood that the time during which the light-emitting module 20 emits the first pulsed light and the time during which the light-changing module 50 emits the light of the first color are both a first pulse width.

[0087] In some embodiments, when the cosmetic device 100 is set to the Nth light-emitting mode and the light-emitting module 20 emits the first pulsed light, the light-changing module 50 can simultaneously emit the Nth color light. It can be understood that the time during which the light-emitting module 20 emits the first pulsed light and the time during which the light-changing module 50 emits the Nth color light are both the first pulse width.

[0088] As can be seen, if the storage module 10 is not charged to the first preset threshold or the light-emitting module 20 is not triggered, this step continues, and once the light-emitting module 20 is triggered, the light-emitting module 20 will emit a first pulse of light.

[0089] Step S516: Determine whether the N pulsed light irradiations have been completed.

[0090] For a detailed description of step S516, please refer to step S214 in FIG. 2 and the related descriptions in FIGS. 1 and 3, and the description will not be repeated here.

[0091] In some embodiments, if control module 30 determines that N pulsed light irradiations have been completed, the method may continue by returning to step S512. If control module 30 determines that N pulsed light irradiations have not been completed, the method may perform step S517.

[0092] Step S517: Continue charging the storage module. When the storage module is charged to a preset threshold corresponding to the next pulsed light irradiation and it is determined that the light-emitting module has been triggered, the light-emitting module is caused to emit the next pulsed light.

[0093] For a detailed description of step S517, please refer to step S215 in FIG. 2 and the related descriptions in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, and the description will not be repeated here.

[0094] In some embodiments, when the light-emitting module 20 emits the Nth pulsed light beam, the light-changing module 50 can simultaneously emit the Nth color light beam.

[0095] It can be understood that the time during which the light output module 20 emits the Nth pulse light beam and the time during which the light variable module 50 emits the Nth color light beam are both the Nth pulse width.

[0096] As can be understood, if the storage module 10 is not charged to the Nth preset threshold or the light-emitting module 20 is not triggered, this step will continue, and once the light-emitting module 20 is triggered, the light-emitting module 20 will emit the Nth pulsed light beam.

[0097] Step S518: Determine whether the N pulsed light irradiations have been completed.

[0098] For a detailed description of step S518, please refer to step S214 in FIG. 2 and the related descriptions in FIGS. 1 and 3, and the description will not be repeated here.

[0099] In some embodiments, if control module 30 determines that N pulsed light irradiations have been completed, the method may continue by returning to step S512. If control module 30 determines that N pulsed light irradiations have not been completed, the method may continue by step S517.

[0100] Step S519: When the cosmetic device is set to the ice pack mode, the cooling module operates at a first power.

[0101] In some embodiments, when the cosmetic device 100 is set to the ice pack mode, the cooling module 40 switches from operating at the second power to operating at the first power. Because the first power is greater than the second power, the cooling module 40 has a greater cooling power. At the same time, the light-changing module 50 can emit light of the (N+1)th color, achieving the soothing effect of an ice pack on the user's skin.

[0102] At the same time, the instruction module 70 displays the (N+1)th instruction information, indicating that the cosmetic device 100 is currently set to the cooling module.

[0103] As can be understood, when the cosmetic device 100 is set to the ice pack mode, the duration of the ice pack mode is not limited, and the operation mode of the cosmetic device 100 can be switched by accepting a user's operation. That is, the flow of this method can be executed by returning to step S512 after executing step S519.

[0104] As will be appreciated, when returning to step S512 from step S516, step S518 and step S519, the instruction module 70 may stop displaying the instruction information.

[0105] Step S520: Shut down the beauty device, and stop the heat dissipation module and the cooling module.

[0106] In some embodiments, when the cosmetic device 100 is shut down, the heat dissipation module 60 and the cooling module 40 are shut down accordingly.

[0107] In one embodiment of the control method for the cosmetic device of the present invention, the light-emitting module 20 can emit pulsed light 1 to N times according to different levels of charging based on the Nth light-emitting mode or ice pack mode set in the cosmetic device 100. Alternatively, the cooling module 40 can operate at different power levels, and by combining with the colored light emitted by the light-changing module 50, the cosmetic device 100 can perform different skin care methods based on multiple operating modes, thereby meeting the different functional needs of users for skin beauty and improving the functional versatility of the cosmetic device 100.
