[0109] According to another embodiment, the sensing unit 140 may be realized as a load cell and may be attached to the weight of the cartridge 151 to sense the remaining amount of the cartridge. In this case, the sensing unit 140 may be attached to the bottom of the cartridge 151.

[0110] However, the above-mentioned methods are merely exemplary, and the sensing unit 140 can sense the remaining amount of the cartridge 151 in various ways.

[0111] In addition, the sensing unit 140 can receive a barcode input signal or an RFID (radio frequency identification) input signal included in the cartridge 151 when the cartridge 151 is installed, and can sense the number of cartridges, the type of cosmetics included in the cartridge, the date the cartridge was installed, the manufacturing date (or expiration date) of the cosmetics included in the cartridge, etc.

[0112] The cartridge-related information listed above may be received via the input unit 110 in addition to the sensing unit 140 .

[0113] The camera 145 can capture the user's face. Specifically, the camera 145 can capture the user's bare face or the user's face with makeup. The control unit 180 can acquire a cosmetics supplying method based on the user's face captured through the camera 145. For example, when the control unit 180 captures the user's bare face, it can acquire a cosmetics supplying method ranging from basic makeup to color makeup. In addition, when the control unit 180 captures the user's face with makeup, it can acquire a makeup correction method or an additional cosmetics supplying method.

[0114] The location detector 147 can acquire the current location of the user. The location detector 147 can include a Global Positioning System (GPS), but this is merely an example, and any device capable of acquiring the current location of the user can be included therein.

[0115] When the location detection unit 147 acquires the user's current location, the control unit 180 can acquire weather information, surrounding information, etc. corresponding to the user's current location. The control unit 180 can acquire a cosmetics supply method based on the acquired weather information, surrounding information, etc. corresponding to the current location.

[0116] The cosmetic supply unit 150 can supply the cosmetic using at least one cosmetic raw material.

[0117] The cosmetic supply section 150 can include a cartridge 151 , a nozzle section 152 , a mixer section 153 , a discharge section 154 and a refrigeration section 155 .

[0118] The cartridge 151 can contain cosmetics. Here, the cosmetics contained in the cartridge 151 can include a finished product composed of a plurality of cosmetic raw materials, a semi-finished product in which some cosmetic raw materials are omitted, and cosmetic raw materials.

[0119] When cosmetic dispensing device 100 includes multiple cartridges 151, each cartridge 151 may contain one of a finished product, a semi-finished product, or a cosmetic ingredient.

[0120] The plurality of cartridges 151 may be configured for each type of cosmetic product. Specifically, the plurality of cartridges 151 may be basic cosmetic product cartridges. For example, the basic cosmetic product cartridges may be configured as a skin (toner) cartridge, an essence (serum) cartridge, a lotion (emulsion) cartridge, an eye cream cartridge, a day / night cream cartridge, and an ultraviolet ray blocking agent cartridge. The control unit 180 may acquire the type and amount of cosmetic product to be supplied in the basic cosmetic product cartridge based on the user information, the environmental information, and the like. For example, the control unit 180 may acquire a cosmetic product supplying method for supplying 5 g from the skin cartridge, 3 g from the essence cartridge, 5 g from the lotion cartridge, and 7 g of ultraviolet ray blocking agent in that order.

[0121] Meanwhile, the plurality of cartridges 151 may be color cosmetic cartridges. For example, the color cosmetic cartridges may be configured with a makeup base cartridge, a foundation cartridge, a concealer cartridge, a powder fact cartridge, an eyebrow cartridge, an eyeshadow cartridge, an eyeliner cartridge, a mascara cartridge, a blusher / highlighter cartridge, and a lipstick cartridge. The control unit 180 may acquire the type and amount of cosmetics to be supplied in the color cosmetic cartridge based on user information, environmental information, and the like.

[0122] Alternatively, the plurality of cartridges 151 may include both a basic cosmetic cartridge and a tonal cosmetic cartridge. In this case, the control unit 180 may acquire a cosmetic supply method for providing a cosmetic product in each of the basic cosmetic cartridges and providing a cosmetic product in each of the tonal cosmetic cartridges.

[0123] The cartridge 151 can be attached to or detached from a cartridge support base (not shown). For example, when all the cosmetics contained in the cartridge 151 are consumed, the cartridge 151 can be detached from the cartridge support base 120 and a new cartridge 151 can be inserted. Alternatively, when all the cosmetics contained in the cartridge 151 are consumed, the cartridge 151 can be refilled with cosmetics. Refilling of cosmetics is possible both when the cartridge 151 is attached to or detached from the cartridge support base 120.

[0124] The cartridge 151 may be formed with a cosmetic discharge hole (not shown), and the cosmetic contained in the cartridge 151 may be discharged to the nozzle portion 152 through the cosmetic discharge hole (not shown).

[0125] According to an embodiment, the nozzle portion 152 may be connected to the discharge portion 154. Therefore, the cosmetic contained in the cartridge 151 may pass through the nozzle portion 152 and be discharged to the outside via the discharge portion 154.

[0126] According to another embodiment, the nozzle portion 152 may be connected to the cartridge 151 and the mixer portion 153. The nozzle portion 152 may be a passage through which the cosmetic moves from the cartridge 151 to the mixer portion 153. The cosmetic discharged from the cartridge 151 may be moved to the mixer portion 153 via the nozzle portion 152.

[0127] The mixer unit 153 can mix at least one cosmetic product uniformly. The mixer unit 153 is provided with a vibrator (not shown) and can discharge the cosmetic raw materials contained in the mixer unit 153.

[0128] The discharge portion 154 can discharge the cosmetic that has been moved from the cartridge 151 through the nozzle portion 154 to the outside.

[0129] Alternatively, in the case where the cosmetic supply unit 150 includes the mixer unit 154 , the discharge unit 154 may discharge the cosmetic mixed in the mixer unit 153 to the outside of the cosmetic supply device 100 .

[0130] The discharge unit 153 is realized as a pump, and can discharge the cosmetic product to the outside of the cosmetic supplying device 100.

[0131] The refrigerating unit 155 can maintain the temperature of the cosmetic contained in the cartridge 151 at a set temperature. The refrigerating unit 155 may be formed to accommodate the cartridge 151 therein. Alternatively, the refrigerating unit 155 may be formed around the cartridge 151.

[0132] The components listed above are merely exemplary, and the cosmetic supply unit 150 may further include other components necessary for cosmetic supply, or some components may be omitted.

[0133] The first two-way communication unit 160 may transmit and receive signals between the cosmetic supplying device 100 and an external server or device. That is, the first two-way communication unit 160 may transmit and receive signals between the cosmetic supplying device 100 and the server 1, or between the cosmetic supplying device 100 and the mobile terminal 10.

[0134] For example, the first two-way communication unit 160 can transmit input cosmetics provision information to the server 1 and can receive environmental information such as weather and cosmetics supply methods from the server 1. Alternatively, the first two-way communication unit 160 can transmit cartridge remaining amount information to the mobile terminal 10 and can receive user information such as a schedule and cosmetics supply commands from the mobile terminal 10. However, this is merely an example, and the first two-way communication unit 160 can transmit and receive various signals related to cosmetics supply with an external server or external device.

[0135] The first two-way communication unit 160 can transmit and receive signals to and from the outside using at least one of the above-mentioned mobile communication technology, wireless Internet technology, and short-range communication technology.

[0136] The second communication unit 170 can receive information on ready-made cosmetics.

[0137] Ready-made cosmetics refer to commonly used cosmetics that are already manufactured and sold in large quantities, and may include a bar code or an RFID chip.

[0138] The second communication unit 170 may be realized as a barcode recognizer or an RFID reader and may recognize pre-made cosmetics including a barcode or an RFID chip. When the second communication unit 170 recognizes a pre-made cosmetic, it may receive information about the recognized pre-made cosmetic. In this case, unlike the first two-way communication unit 160, the second communication unit 170 may transmit and receive signals in one direction.

[0139] When the second communication unit 170 receives the information on the ready-made cosmetic product, the control unit 180 may provide the cosmetic product in consideration of the ready-made cosmetic product based on the received ready-made cosmetic product information, and may display how to use the ready-made cosmetic product, etc. This will be described in detail later.

[0140] In addition, the second communication unit 170 may receive the manufacturing date (or expiration date) of the ready-made cosmetic product when recognizing the barcode or RFID chip. The control unit 180 may notify the user of the timing of replacing the cosmetic product through the received manufacturing date (or expiration date) of the ready-made cosmetic product.

[0141] The control unit 180 may control the overall operation required for supplying cosmetics. The control unit 180 may control the individual operation of each component constituting the cosmetics supplying device 100, or may control the combined operation of the components.

[0142] The operations of each component described above are merely examples, and each component may perform a variety of operations related to cosmetic supply.

[0143] The cosmetic supplying device 100 may be implemented as a stationary device or a portable device. The stationary cosmetic supplying device 100 has the advantage of being able to supply a variety of cosmetics since it can be equipped with a relatively larger number of cartridges 151 than the portable device. The portable cosmetic supplying device 100 has the advantage of being easy to carry, so that after going out, one can immediately prepare and use cosmetics suitable for various situations.

[0144] Next, a cosmetic supply device realized as a stationary type will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5.

[0149] The discharge space S1 may be formed between the upper body 100a and the lower body 100b. That is, the cosmetic supply device 100 includes an upper body 100a and a lower body 100b, and the discharge space S1 may be formed between the upper body 100a and the lower body 100b. The upper body 100a and the lower body 100b may be connected to each other.

[0150] The cosmetic supply unit 150 may be located adjacent to the discharge space S1. More specifically, the cosmetic supply unit 150 may be installed such that one surface formed on the discharge unit 154 faces the discharge space S1. This allows the cosmetic to be discharged from the cosmetic supply unit 150 to the discharge space S1.

[0151] The cosmetic supply unit 150 may include a plurality of cartridges 151. Each of the plurality of cartridges 151 may include only basic cosmetics or only toning cosmetics. Alternatively, the cosmetic supply unit 150 may include both a cartridge 151 including basic cosmetics and a cartridge 151 including toning cosmetics.

[0152] The cosmetics contained in the multiple cartridges 151 can be discharged in sequence through one discharge portion 154. That is, the basic cosmetics can be discharged from the discharge portion 154 in the order of the makeup applications, and the color cosmetics can be discharged in the order of the makeup applications.

[0153] 4, the sensing unit 140 may be located on the upper side of the cosmetic supplying unit 150, the sensing unit 140, the first two-way communication unit 160, the second communication unit 170, and the control unit 180 may be located in the upper body 100a, and the input unit 110 and the storage unit 130 may be located in the lower body 100b. However, this is merely an example, and the shape of the cosmetic supplying device 100 shown in FIG. 4 and the position of each component included in the cosmetic supplying device 100 may be different from that shown in FIG. 4. That is, although the input unit 110 has been described as being located on the upper surface of the lower body 100b, the input unit 110 may also be located in the upper body 100a. The refrigerating unit (not shown) may be formed to accommodate a plurality of cartridges 151 therein.

[0154] Meanwhile, the cosmetic supplying device 100 may include a plurality of cosmetic supplying units 150.

The control unit 180 may control to output a cosmetic replacement alarm if the mounting date of the cartridge, the manufacturing date of the cosmetic contained in the cartridge, or the manufacturing date of the ready-made cosmetic exceeds a preset reference period. Alternatively, the control unit 180 may control to output a cosmetic replacement alarm if the current date is the same as the expiration date of the cosmetic contained in the cartridge or the expiration date of the ready-made cosmetic, or is before or has passed the preset date.

[0189] The control unit 180 can display a replacement alarm on the display unit 120 or transmit a replacement alarm signal to the mobile terminal 10 .

[0190] Cosmetic supply device 100 can recognize information about ready-made cosmetic products (S117).

[0191] The ready-made cosmetics refer to commercial cosmetics manufactured and sold by a cosmetics company, etc. The ready-made cosmetics may include a barcode or an RFID tag.

[0192] The cosmetic supplying device 100 may include a second communication unit 170 for recognizing the ready-made cosmetic product. The second communication unit 170 may be a barcode recognition device or an RFID reader.

[0193] Next, a method in which the cosmetic supply device 100 recognizes information on a ready-made cosmetic product will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a diagram for explaining a method in which the cosmetic supply device according to an embodiment of the present invention recognizes information on a ready-made cosmetic product.

[0194] The display unit 120 of the cosmetic supplying device 100 may display a screen for recognizing a ready-made cosmetic product. As shown in Fig. 9, the display unit 120 may display a recognition message 1010 for the ready-made cosmetic product, and the recognition message 1010 for the ready-made cosmetic product may indicate the recognition timing and the recognizable position of the ready-made cosmetic product. The recognizable position of the ready-made cosmetic product may be located adjacent to the second communication unit 170.

[0195] The user may bring the ready-made cosmetic product 1020 to a position adjacent to the second communication unit 170. The second communication unit 170 may recognize a barcode or an RFID tag embedded in the ready-made cosmetic product 1020, and may receive information about the ready-made cosmetic product 1020 as a result of the recognition.

[0196] In this way, the user can have the second communication unit 170 recognize the cosmetics that the user owns and obtain a method for utilizing the cosmetics that the user owns.

[0197] Referring again to FIG.

[0198] When the cosmetic supplying device 100 receives the information on the ready-made cosmetic product 1020, the cosmetic supplying device 100 can acquire a cosmetic supplying method based on at least one of the user information, the environmental information, the remaining amount information of the cartridge, and the ready-made cosmetic product information (S119).

[0199] If the cosmetic supplying device 100 does not receive information on the ready-made cosmetic product 1020, the cosmetic supplying method can be obtained based on at least one of user information, environmental information, and remaining amount information of the cartridge (S121).

[0200] The control unit 180 may acquire a cosmetics supply method based on at least one of the user's skin condition, face image, schedule, alarm, current temperature, humidity, particulate matter concentration, UV index, and ready-made cosmetics information.

[0201] The cosmetic supply method may include the type of cosmetic to be supplied, the amount of cosmetic to be supplied, the order in which the cosmetic is supplied, and the time for which the cosmetic is supplied.

[0202] Specifically, the control unit 180 can acquire different cosmetic supply methods according to the schedule information when it receives the schedule information from the mobile terminal 10. For example, the control unit 180 can receive information of "April 19th 10:00 customer meeting", "April 22nd 12:30 XX wedding", and "April 28th 19:00 friends gathering" from the mobile terminal 10, and the control unit 180 can acquire a cosmetic supply method suitable for the date and schedule content included in the received information.

[0203] For example, the control unit 180 may recognize preset specific characters such as "meeting," "wedding," "party," etc. According to one embodiment, when the specific characters are recognized, the control unit 180 may obtain a cosmetics supply method mapped to the recognized specific characters. According to another embodiment, the control unit 180 may recommend a perfume or a specific cosmetic product for a date on which the specific characters are recognized.

[0204] Alternatively, when the control unit 180 receives alarm information from the mobile terminal 10, it can acquire a cosmetics supplying method in which cosmetics are produced according to the time of the alarm. Specifically, when the control unit 180 receives information on "weather at T a.m." from the mobile terminal 10, it can acquire a cosmetics supplying method in which cosmetics are produced after a preset time based on the received time. For example, when the control unit 180 receives information on "weather at 7 a.m." from the mobile terminal 10, it can acquire a cosmetics supplying method that controls the cosmetics to be produced at 8 a.m., which is a preset time based on the received time of 7 a.m.

[0205] When the control unit 180 receives environmental information such as humidity and UV index, the control unit 180 can obtain a cosmetic supply method by adjusting the moisture content, cosmetic ingredients, and cosmetic ingredients with sunscreen function according to the humidity and UV index.

[0206] The control unit 180 can acquire a cosmetic supply method taking into consideration the remaining amount in the cartridge. Specifically, the control unit 180 can limit the usage amount of the cosmetic in the cartridge when the remaining amount is less than a preset remaining amount to a preset usage amount or less.

[0207] When the control unit 180 receives the information on the ready-made cosmetic product, the control unit 180 can obtain a cosmetic product supplying method that allows the received ready-made cosmetic product and the cosmetic product contained in the cartridge 151 to be used in combination.

[0208] Alternatively, when the control unit 180 receives information on ready-made cosmetics, the control unit 180 may acquire a cosmetics supply method that uses only ready-made cosmetics.

[0209] However, this is merely an example, and the mobile terminal 10 or the server 1 may acquire the cosmetics supplying method. For example, the mobile terminal 10 may acquire the cosmetics supplying method by receiving at least one of user information, environmental information, and cosmetics provision information. The method in which the server 1 acquires the cosmetics supplying method will be described later with reference to FIG. 15.

[0210] The display unit 120 may display a method for supplying cosmetics (S123).

[0248] Accordingly, the cosmetic supplying device 100 has an advantage in that it can provide the cosmetic product and also guide the user on how to use the cosmetic product.

[0249] Referring again to FIG.

[0250] When the cosmetic supplying device 100 acquires a cosmetic supplying method using a ready-made cosmetic, information corresponding to the ready-made cosmetic can be displayed (S133).

[0251] 13a to 13c, a method for displaying information corresponding to a ready-made cosmetic product according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0252] First, Fig. 13a is a diagram for explaining a method for displaying information on ready-made cosmetics according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 13a, the display unit 120 can display both the cosmetics information 1310 and the recommended makeup method 1320. The cosmetics information 1310 can include ingredient information of the first cosmetics and the third cosmetics supplied through the cartridge 151, and information on the second cosmetics which are the retained cosmetics. Here, the retained cosmetics can refer to the cosmetics recognized in the ready-made cosmetics information recognition step (S21).

[0253] The recommended makeup method 1320 is a method for utilizing both supplied cosmetics and retained cosmetics, and may include the use position of the cosmetics, the use sequence of the cosmetics, the use amount of the cosmetics, etc. In the example of Fig. 13a, the display unit 120 displays the use position of the first supplied cosmetics, the use position of the second cosmetics, which are retained cosmetics, and the use positions and use sequence of the third cosmetics.

[0254] This has the advantage of not only manufacturing and providing the cosmetics that users need, but also suggesting ways to utilize the cosmetics that users own.

[0255] FIG. 13b is a diagram for explaining a method for displaying information about ready-made cosmetic products according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0256] The control unit 180 can acquire a cosmetics supply method that uses only ready-made cosmetics.

[0257] As shown in Fig. 13b, the display unit 120 may display both owned cosmetic product information 1330 and recommended makeup method 1340. The cosmetic product information 1330 may include the name of at least one owned cosmetic product. Although not shown in Fig. 13b, the cosmetic product information 1330 may include the name of the owned cosmetic product as well as the recommended amount of the cosmetic product to be used.

[0258] The recommended makeup method 1340 may include the application location and application method of each of the cosmetics displayed in the cosmetics list 1330 .

[0259] FIG. 13c is a diagram for explaining a method for displaying information about ready-made cosmetic products according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0260] The control unit 180 may obtain a cosmetics supply method that uses only ready-made cosmetics. In this case, the display unit 120 may display both the owned cosmetics information 1350 and the recommended cosmetics information 1360, as shown in FIG 13c.

[0261] When the control unit 180 receives a command to select a cosmetic product included in the recommended cosmetic product information 1360, the control unit 180 may display a method for purchasing the selected cosmetic product. For example, the display unit 120 may display a website where the selected cosmetic product can be purchased.

[0262] Accordingly, the cosmetic supplying device 100 has an advantage of being able to use the owned cosmetic and provide the user with information on recommended cosmetics that can be used together with the owned cosmetic. Meanwhile, when it is difficult to provide color cosmetics through the cartridge 151, as shown in Figures 13a to 13c, it has an advantage of being able to display information on ready-made cosmetics and assist with the entire process related to the use of cosmetics, from providing the cosmetics to showing how to apply the cosmetics.

[0263] Next, FIG. 14 is an example diagram illustrating a method for outputting remaining amount information of a cartridge by a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0264] As shown in FIG. 14, the display unit 14 of the mobile terminal 10 can display remaining amount information 1401 of a first cartridge, remaining amount information 1402 of a second cartridge, remaining amount information 1403 of a third cartridge, remaining amount information 1404 of a fourth cartridge, remaining amount information 1405 of a fifth cartridge, and remaining amount information 1406 of a sixth cartridge.

[0265] Each of the remaining amount information 1401 to 1406 of the first to sixth cartridges may include the percentage of the cosmetic product contained in each cartridge relative to the capacity of the cartridge 151 .

[0266] In addition, the display unit 14 of the mobile terminal 10 may display a notification of cartridge replacement, and the notification of cartridge replacement may be displayed in response to a cartridge whose remaining amount is less than a preset reference remaining amount.

[0267] The reference remaining amount for notifying the user of the cartridge replacement may be set by receiving a user input command via the input unit 110, or may be set as a default when the cosmetic supplying device 100 is released from the store.

[0268] In the example shown in FIG. 14, the reference remaining amount for a cartridge replacement notification may be 20%, and the display unit 14 can display the replacement notification corresponding to the fifth cartridge 1405, which has less than the reference remaining amount.

[0269] The notification of cartridge replacement may be output in a manner different from the remaining amount information of other cartridges as shown in Fig. 14. Alternatively, the control unit 17 of the mobile terminal 17 may output the notification of cartridge replacement when the remaining amount of the cartridge is less than the reference amount through sound or vibration.

[0270] In this way, the cosmetic supply device 100 has the advantage of sensing the remaining amount of the cartridge 151 and transmitting the remaining amount information of the cartridge to the mobile terminal 10, thereby guiding the user to replace the cartridge 151 before all the cosmetic is used up.

[0271] In addition, when the mobile terminal 10 outputs the cartridge replacement notification, it can display an icon connecting to a site where the cartridge corresponding to the cartridge replacement notification can be purchased. This has the advantage that the user can easily purchase a cartridge that is running low on the remaining amount through the cartridge purchase icon (not shown).
