Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a skin care method and a makeup method. [Background technology]

[0002] Previously, the physical and mental benefits of applying makeup have been investigated in skin care, with studies looking at changes in skin, oxytocin and cortisol in saliva, and brain responses in response to touching the skin such as hand pressing or gently stroking. Furthermore, in the case of makeup, studies have looked at brain responses to lowering stress-induced elevated salivary cortisol and the comfort of using makeup.

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] <Terminology> In this specification, "well-being" refers to a person's physical, mental, and social well-being. It has been widely used since the World Health Organization (WHO) drafted its constitution in 1946, stating that "health is a state of physical, mental, and social well-being (omitted)." In psychology, Ryan et al. (2001). Annual review of psychology, 52, 141-166) divide well-being into two broad categories: eudaimonic well-being and hedonic well-being. For example, eudaimonic refers to self-affirmation, autonomy, and positive relationships with others that arise in everyday life, while hedonic refers to positive emotions such as vitality, happiness, and satisfaction that arise in daily life. These two aspects are also interrelated.

[0011] <Summary> Fig. 1 is a diagram for explaining an overview of the present invention. In one embodiment of the present invention, a skin care method and a makeup method for enhancing well-being tailored to a subject are presented. This will be described in detail later with reference to Fig. 7.

[0012] First, data of the subject input by the subject etc. is accepted (S1). Next, the subject's data is evaluated (S2). Next, based on the evaluation results, a combination (plan) of skin care and makeup methods that will enhance well-being is selected for the individual (S3). Next, skin care and makeup methods are displayed (recommended) (S4). Next, the results of the skin care method and makeup method execution (whether or not they were executed) input by the subject or the like are accepted (S5). Next, the recommended plan is reviewed (S6). Next, the execution result (whether or not the execution was successful) is fed back (S7).

[0013] <How to select a plan> 2 is a diagram for explaining the selection of a plan according to one embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment of the present invention, a combination (plan) of a skin care method and a makeup method that enhances well-being is presented to a subject.

[0014] For example, when one wants to enhance physical and mental activity (for example, when one wants to be active in the morning), skin care that enhances the sympathetic nervous system is selected.

[0015] For example, when one wants to reduce physical and mental activity (for example, at night when one wants to rest), skin care that enhances the parasympathetic nervous system is selected.

[0016] Plan A in Figure 2 is a combination plan of skin care and makeup methods to activate the subject's sympathetic nervous system. Plan B in Figure 2 is a plan that only presents skin care methods (no makeup methods) to enhance the sympathetic nervous system and put the subject into an active state. Plan C in Figure 2 is a combination plan of skin care and makeup methods to enhance the parasympathetic nervous system and put the subject into a relaxed state. Plan D in Figure 2 is a plan that only presents skin care methods (no makeup methods) to enhance the parasympathetic nervous system and put the subject into a relaxed state. Plan E in Figure 2 is a plan that only provides makeup instructions (no skin care instructions).

[0017] <Skin care method> FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a skin care method for enhancing well-being according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] In step 11 (S11), the subject (or a beauty consultant with specialized beauty knowledge, or a person who has mastered beauty techniques, etc.) touches the subject's face, or touches the subject's face using a beauty device or a massage tool.

[0019] Here, the act of touching the face will be described. For example, the act of touching the face includes washing the face, skin care, facial loosening, massage, and the like.

[0020] <<To activate the subject by increasing the sympathetic nervous system>> For example, touching the face to activate the sympathetic nervous system and put the subject in an active state: For example, touching your face can mean applying lotion to your skin with your hands or a cotton ball. For example, touching your face means applying lotion to your skin with your hands or cotton (lightly spreading the lotion and blending it in). For example, touching the face involves applying pressure to the jawline, nasolabial folds, under the eyes, inner corners of the eyes, forehead, center of the hairline, hairline, temples, in front of the ears, and facial line at a steady pace. For example, pressing the face involves using the knuckles of the fingers to apply pressure along the large blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the face.

[0021] <<Stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system to put the subject into a relaxed state>> For example, touching the face to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and induce relaxation in a subject is as follows: For example, touching your face can mean applying lotion to your skin with your hands or a cotton ball. For example, touching your face means applying lotion to your skin with your hands or cotton (lightly spreading the lotion and blending it in), and then applying cream to your skin (lightly spreading the cream). However, it is also acceptable to just apply lotion. For example, touching your face can involve closing your eyes and applying lotion or cream while listening to the sound. However, it is also fine to only apply lotion. For example, when touching the face, use the entire palm of your hand to wrap around the entire face and slowly slide it over.

[0022] In step 12 (S12), the subject consciously breathes and / or moves his / her body.

[0023] Here, breathing will be described. <<To activate the subject by increasing the sympathetic nervous system>> For example, rapid or shallow chest breathing is used to activate the sympathetic nervous system, for example, by breathing in through the nose as you raise your hand firmly and exhaling through the nose as you quickly lower it.

[0024] <<Stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system to put the subject into a relaxed state>> For example, to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and induce relaxation in a subject, slow or deep abdominal breathing is used. Deep breathing involves inhaling slowly through the nose and exhaling slowly through the mouth. The exhalation should be longer than the inhalation.

[0025] Here, we will explain about physical movement (exercises, exercise, etc.). For example, to activate the sympathetic nervous system and put the subject into an active state, the subject moves their body. Examples of physical movement (exercises, exercise, etc.) include raising their arms, rotating their shoulder blades, rotating their shoulders, and rotating their neck. For example, physical movement (exercises, exercise, etc.) would be to raise their arms high, hold their breath, gently rotate their shoulder blades, and then lower their hands. When moving their body, they may use exercise equipment. Using exercise equipment increases the range of motion of muscles, joints, etc., making it easier for the body to move and increasing the effectiveness.

[0026] For example, moving the body involves raising your arms, holding your breath, and rotating your shoulders and shoulder blades multiple times, for example, three or more times, to create a pressure effect, and then exhaling to release the stress on the area, which in turn stimulates the flow of blood and lymph.

[0027] In step 13 (S13), the subject checks their skin after the skin care treatment with a smile.

[0028] Below, we will describe in detail a skin care method that enhances well-being by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system and putting the subject into an active state, and a skin care method that enhances well-being by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system and putting the subject into a relaxed state.

[0029] <<To activate the subject by increasing the sympathetic nervous system>> A skin care method is described that enhances well-being when the subject is in an active state (e.g., in the morning) by enhancing the sympathetic nervous system.

[0030] 1 Apply lotion to your skin using your hands or a cotton pad. 2. Do the physical exercise three times (raise your arms high, hold your breath, gently rotate your shoulder blades, and then lower your arms). 3. Massage your face three times (pressing the hollows of your chin, nasolabial folds, under your eyes, inner corners of your eyes, forehead, center of your hairline, hairline, temples, in front of your ears, and face line at a steady rhythm). 4. Lightly spread the lotion onto your skin using your hands or a cotton pad and massage it in. 5. Take quick breaths (inhale through your nose when you raise your hands firmly, and exhale through your nose when you quickly lower them) five times (or more). 6. Smile and check your skin after skincare in the mirror. You can check your skin by taking pictures or videos with your smartphone or video camera, taking photos with a camera, or having someone else check it for you.

[0031] <<Stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system to put the subject into a relaxed state>> A skin care method is described that enhances well-being when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated to put the subject into a relaxed state (e.g., at night).

[0032] 1 Apply lotion to your skin using your hands or a cotton pad. 2. Lightly spread the lotion onto your skin with your hands or a cotton pad and massage it in, then lightly spread the cream (you can also use just the lotion). Start with your eyes closed and listening to the sound of the video. 3. Take three (or more) deep breaths. 4 Close your eyes and listen to the sound of the video while applying lotion or cream (you can also just use lotion). 5. Take three (or more) deep breaths. 6. Smile and check your skin after skincare in the mirror. You can check your skin by taking pictures or videos with your smartphone or video camera, taking photos with a camera, or having someone else check it for you.

[0033] <Makeup method> FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a makeup method for enhancing well-being according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] In step 21 (S21), while the subject is smiling, the subject (or a beauty consultant, etc.) applies makeup to the subject. The makeup may be both blush and highlighter, or just either blush or highlighter.

[0035] Here, we will explain how to apply makeup while maintaining a smile. For example, smiling involves lifting the zygomaticus major muscle and raising the corners of the mouth. For example, create a smile by lifting your cheeks and the corners of your mouth, and apply blush using the high points of your cheeks as a guide. Also, apply highlighter in the C zone (from the top of the blush to the outer corner of the eye) from the top of the blush towards the outer corner of the eye.

[0036] In step 22 (S22), the subject smiles and checks the finish of the makeup.

[0037] Below, we will explain in detail how to apply makeup to enhance well-being.

[0038] <Overall makeup process> 1. Base makeup (primer → foundation) 2. Point makeup (eye makeup (including eyebrows) → lips) 3. Cheek 4. Highlights 5. Check the makeup finish with a smile Note that the above overall makeup flow is an example, and "1. Base makeup" and "2. Point makeup" do not necessarily have to be included.

[0039] <Applying blush and highlighter> 1 Look in the mirror and check your smile. 2 Choose the blush color that suits your mood that day and the finish you want to achieve, and apply it to a puff. 3 Lift your cheeks and the corners of your mouth to smile and check the high points of your cheeks. 4. Use a puff or brush to apply blush to the high points of your cheeks. To apply, gently tap the puff on your cheek and gently blend in using circular motions. Apply to both cheeks in the same way while maintaining a smile. 5. Apply your favorite highlight color to the brush. 6 Gently blend into the C zone (from the top of the cheek to the outer corner of the eye), T zone (the center of the forehead and the bridge of the nose), and tip of the chin. Apply highlighter while maintaining a smile. 7. Shake your head from side to side and smile while looking in the mirror to check the finished look. In addition to looking in the mirror, you can also check the finished look of your skin by taking pictures or videos with your smartphone or video camera, taking photos with a camera, or having someone else check them.

[0040] In this way, maintaining and seeing a smile increases and maintains positive emotions, and makes it easier to smile in everyday life. Furthermore, by lifting not only the mouth but also the zygomatic major muscle, the eyes narrow, conveying to others that the smile is genuine. This increases both hedonic (positive emotions) and eudaimonic (friendly and positive relationships with others) well-being.

[0041] <Other embodiments> For example, in skin care methods and makeup methods, you can block out visual stimuli (close your eyes to block out unnecessary information). You can close your eyes to block out visual information and focus on yourself and your skin.

[0042] For example, in skin care methods or makeup methods, auditory stimuli (verbal explanations, timing, rhythm, tempo, pitch, volume of sounds, onomatopoeia and mimetic sound effects (the feeling of exerting force "gyuuto"; the feeling of letting out breath "fuuto"; skin care to induce activity (nose and chest breathing): inhale "sss, ss" when raising your hands, exhale "hump, hump" from your nose when lowering your hands; skin care to induce relaxation (belly and deep breathing): inhale through your nose for 3 seconds, exhale from your stomach to your mouth for 6 seconds) can be presented. As auditory information, you can listen to sounds at a certain tempo and volume to focus your attention on yourself and your skin.

[0043] For example, skin care and makeup techniques can be presented using videos (hand and body movements: emphasizing speed and size, emphasizing colors, circles, etc., presenting and guiding arrows, providing short explanations in subtitles, and using speech bubbles to make them easier to understand).

[0044] For example, skin care and makeup methods may be presented using still images or paper prints (pictures and explanatory text showing the overall flow and key points of movement).

[0045] For example, a mirror may be used in skin care and makeup procedures (which are essential when smiling and applying makeup).

[0046] <Overall configuration example> FIG. 5 shows an example of the overall configuration according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] [Configuration example 1] The information processing system 1 includes a client device 11 and a server device 12. Each of these will be described below.

[0048] <<Server device>> The server device 12 is a device that selects a skin care method and a makeup method that enhance well-being according to the subject 10 and presents them to the client device 11. The server device 12 is made up of one or more computers.

[0049] <<Client device>> The client device 11 is a device that displays a skin care method and a makeup method that enhance well-being according to the subject 10. The client device 11 may execute part of the processing of the server device 12 described in this specification. For example, the client device 11 is a personal computer, a tablet terminal, a smartphone, etc. The client device 11 may include an imaging means.

[0050] [Configuration example 2] In configuration example 2, the client device 11, rather than the server device 12, selects a skin care method and a makeup method suitable for the subject 10. The client device 11 is a personal computer, a tablet terminal, a smartphone, etc. The client device 11 may include an imaging means.

[0051] <Functional configuration> FIG. 6 is a functional configuration diagram of an information processing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] The information processing system 1 can include a data input unit 101, an evaluation unit, a plan selection unit 103, a data output unit 104, an execution result input unit 105, and a feedback unit 106. Furthermore, the information processing system 1 can function as the data input unit 101, the evaluation unit 102, the plan selection unit 103, the data output unit 104, the execution result input unit 105, and the feedback unit 106 by executing a program.

[0053] The data input unit 101 accepts data of the subject that is input to the client device 11 by the subject or the like.

[0054] The evaluation unit 102 evaluates the data of the subject received by the data input unit 101 .

[0055] The plan selection unit 103 selects a combination (plan) of a skin care method and a makeup method that enhances well-being according to the subject based on the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 102.

[0056] The data output unit 104 causes the client device 11 to display the skin care method and makeup method selected by the plan selection unit 103.

[0057] The execution result input unit 105 receives the execution results (whether or not the skin care method and makeup method were executed) that are input to the client device 11 by the subject or the like and that are displayed by the data output unit 104.

[0058] The feedback unit 106 feeds back the execution result (whether or not execution was performed) received by the execution result input unit 105.

[0059] <Method> FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a method executed by the information processing system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] In step 1 (S1), the data input unit 101 receives data of the subject that is input to the client device 11 by the subject or the like.

[0061] For example, the subject data may be data for checking the subject's skin condition, mental and physical condition, photographed data of the subject, data answered by the subject, or physiological measurement data of the subject.

[0062] For example, the data of a subject may include images of the subject's face, images of the subject's skin, images of the subject's facial expression (smile), and images of the subject's beauty behavior (application method).

[0063] For example, data answered by the subject may be positive emotions, well-being, or happiness. For example, data answered by the subject may be negative emotions, psychological stress, psychosomatic symptoms, or vague complaints. For example, data answered by the subject may be lifestyle habits such as regularity of sleep and meals, exercise, drinking, and smoking. For example, data answered by the subject may be the desired physical and mental state (vigor / vitality, desire for rest).

[0064] For example, physiological measurement data of the subject includes biochemical indicators such as salivary cortisol, salivary MHPG, salivary amylase, and salivary secretory immunoglobulin A, heart rate and heart rate variability (indicators of activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems), pulse wave, blood pressure, and other cardiovascular system indicators, and respiration.

[0065] In step 2 (S2), the evaluation unit 102 evaluates the data of the subject received in S1. For example, the evaluation unit 102 can evaluate whether the data is high or low based on the average value of the subject's daily data.

[0066] For example, the evaluation unit 102 may make the evaluation based on the number of good / bad evaluation results and the number of high / low evaluation results for each item included in each data (specifically, "data photographed of the subject," "positive emotions, etc. answered by the subject," "negative emotions, etc. answered by the subject," "lifestyle habits, etc. answered by the subject," "physiological measurement data of the subject"), or may make the evaluation based on the number of good / bad evaluation results and the number of high / low evaluation results for each item included in each data (specifically, "data photographed of the subject," "positive emotions, etc. answered by the subject," "negative emotions, etc. answered by the subject," "lifestyle habits, etc. answered by the subject," "physiological measurement data of the subject"), and the subject's desires in terms of lifestyle habits (desired physical and mental state).

[0067] For example, the evaluation unit 102 can assign scores as follows, with the highest score being 5 and the lowest being -5. For example, the evaluation unit 102 evaluates the subject as 1 point if the photographed data of the subject is good, and as -1 point if the photographed data is bad. For example, the evaluation unit 102 evaluates the subject's response by giving 1 point if the subject's response indicates a high level of positive emotion, and by giving -1 point if the response indicates a low level of positive emotion. For example, the evaluation unit 102 evaluates the subject's response as -1 point if the subject's response indicates a high level of negative emotion, and as 1 point if the response indicates a low level of negative emotion. For example, the evaluation unit 102 evaluates the lifestyle habits and the like answered by the subject as 1 point if they are good, and as -1 point if they are bad. For example, the evaluation unit 102 evaluates the subject's physiological measurement data as 1 point if the data is good, and as -1 point if the data is bad.

[0068] In step 3 (S3), the plan selection unit 103 selects a combination (plan) of a skin care method and a makeup method that enhances well-being, suited to the subject, based on the evaluation result of S2.

[0069] For example, the plan selection unit 103 selects one of the plans A to E described in FIG. 2. For example, if there are three out of five "poor / low" scores, the plan selection unit 103 selects only skin care (D) that puts the subject into a relaxed state in the morning and evening. For example, if there are two or fewer "poor / low" scores, the plan selection unit 103 selects skin care and makeup (A) that puts the subject into an active state and skin care (D) that puts the subject into a relaxed state. Note that the plan selection unit 103 may select a plan that takes into consideration the subject's lifestyle needs (desired physical and mental state).

[0070] In step 4 (S4), the data output unit 104 displays (recommends) the skin care method and makeup method selected in S3 on the client device 11. Specifically, the output unit 104 displays the procedure on the client device 11 so that the subject can perform the skin care method and makeup method.

[0071] In step 5 (S5), the execution result input unit 105 receives the execution results (whether or not the skin care method and makeup method were executed) that are input to the client device 11 by the subject or the like and are displayed in S4.

[0072] For example, the results of implementing skin care methods and makeup methods include "whether or not the recommended plan was implemented and what was / was not implemented," "impressions and comments on implementing the recommended plan," and "impressions and comments on changes in skin and physical and mental condition as a result of implementing the recommended plan."

[0073] In step 6 (S6), the feedback unit 106 evaluates (reviews) the recommended plan.

[0074] In step 7 (S7), the feedback unit 106 feeds back the execution result (whether or not the execution was performed) received in S5. For example, based on the feedback, the plan selection unit 103 selects a skin care method and a makeup method (for example, reselecting a method that was performed, not selecting a method that was not performed, reselecting a method that received good comments or comments, not selecting a method that received bad comments or comments, reselecting a method that received good comments or comments about skin or physical and mental conditions, not selecting a method that received bad comments or comments) based on the execution result (whether or not the execution was performed).

[0075] <Other embodiments> The information processing device (client device 11 or server device 12) includes a means for evaluating the well-being state of the subject, a means for selecting a beauty action based on the well-being state, and a means for outputting the selected beauty action to the subject, and the beauty action may include touching the subject's face, the subject consciously breathing, and the subject smiling. The beauty behavior may further include the subject moving their body, the touching of the subject's face may be applying cosmetics and pressing the face, and the breathing may be rapid breathing. Touching the subject's face may involve applying cosmetics and spreading and blending them on the face, and breathing may involve taking deep breaths. The information processing device may include a means for photographing a subject, a means for photographing beauty behaviors of the subject and evaluating the merits or demerits of the beauty behaviors, and a means for guiding the subject to a correct beauty method based on the evaluation of the beauty behaviors. The information processing device may include a means for evaluating the well-being state of a subject, a means for selecting a beauty action based on the well-being state, and a means for outputting the selected beauty action to the subject, and the beauty action may include applying makeup to the subject while the subject maintains a smile, and the subject checking the finish of the makeup while smiling. The information processing device may include a means for evaluating the well-being state of the subject, a means for selecting a beauty action based on the well-being state, and a means for outputting the selected beauty action to the subject, and the beauty action may include touching the subject's face, the subject consciously breathing, the subject smiling, applying makeup to the subject while the subject maintains a smile, and the subject checking the finish of the makeup with a smile.
