The analysis unit 15 can measure the strength of the pore by dividing the distance from the skin surface to the narrowest part of the pore for each pore in proportion to the strength of the pore. The analysis unit 15 can diagnose skin conditions such as the distribution degree of the pore, the depth of the pore, etc. based on the contour of the pore, the strength of the pore, etc.

[0113] The skin diagnosis method according to the eleventh embodiment of the present invention uses a questioning method as follows.

[0114] The display unit 18 of the diagnostic device 10 may output skin-related question contents. For example, the question contents refer to contents necessary for diagnosing skin conditions, including the user's lifestyle such as wake-up time / bedtime, the user's age, the type of cosmetics used by the user, the user's occupation, makeup habits, and the degree of exposure to harmful environments. However, this is merely an example, and it is appropriate not to be limited thereto. The displayed question contents may be periodically updated. The input unit 13 may receive a response signal corresponding to the displayed question contents. The display unit 18 may further display the response contents received via the response signal together with the question contents. .

[0115] According to an embodiment, the analysis unit 15 may analyze the response signal received from the user based on the data stored in the storage unit 17 to diagnose the user's skin condition.

[0116] According to another embodiment, the communication unit 16 transmits the response signal received from the user to the skin management server 20, and the skin management server 20 can diagnose the user's skin condition based on the transmitted data. The skin management server 20 can transmit the analyzed skin condition of the user to the diagnosis device 10, and the communication unit 16 of the diagnosis device 10 can receive the analyzed skin condition of the user.

[0117] The skin diagnosis method according to the twelfth embodiment of the present invention is a method for diagnosing a skin condition taking into account a surrounding environment, as described below.

[0118] The measurement unit 13 can sense the surrounding environment conditions. For example, the surrounding environment conditions can include the temperature, humidity, etc. of the space in which the diagnostic device 10 is located. However, this is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0119] Meanwhile, the control unit 19 may set a reference for the surrounding environment conditions for accurately analyzing the skin condition. For example, the control unit 19 may set the reference temperature to 20 degrees and the reference humidity to 80% as the reference for the surrounding environment conditions, but this is merely an example and should not be construed as being limited thereto.

[0120] When the measurement unit 13 of the diagnostic device 10 measures the user's skin condition such as the amount of moisture in the skin, the elasticity of the skin, the oiliness of the skin, etc., the analysis unit 15 can correct the measured skin condition taking into account the sensed surrounding environment condition. Specifically, if the temperature measured through the measurement unit 13 is 20 degrees and the humidity is 50%, the difference between the surrounding environment condition and the reference surrounding environment condition, 30% humidity, is calculated, and the measured amount of moisture in the skin can be corrected by increasing it by 30%.

[0121] In this way, the diagnostic device 10 can more accurately diagnose the user's skin condition by correcting the measured skin condition taking into account the surrounding environment.

[0122] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative, and the diagnostic device 10 may diagnose skin conditions through methods other than the above-described skin diagnostic methods.

[0123] In addition, each embodiment of the above-mentioned diagnostic method may be implemented alone, or a plurality of embodiments may be implemented in combination. For example, the diagnostic device 10 may diagnose the user's skin condition by combining the result of analyzing the skin image captured by the imaging unit 12 with the analysis of the response signal received by the input unit 11 through the interview method. This is merely an example, and the diagnostic device 10 may diagnose the user's skin condition by combining one embodiment or two or more embodiments.

[0124] Also, a plurality of diagnostic devices 10 may diagnose the skin condition. For example, a first diagnostic device 10 may photograph the skin of a user, and a second diagnostic device 10 may display questions related to the skin condition and receive responses to diagnose the skin condition.

[0125] Before diagnosing the skin condition, the diagnostic device 10 can further determine whether the captured image or skin information acquired via the imaging unit 12 or the measurement unit 13 is appropriate for diagnosing the skin condition. For example, if the imaging unit 12 of the diagnostic device 10 acquires the brightness of the captured skin image and the acquired brightness is below a preset standard, the diagnostic device 10 determines that the brightness is inappropriate for diagnosing the skin condition. It can be determined that the skin condition is correct. Also, the display unit 18 can output a message to remeasure the skin condition, and remeasure the skin condition. This has the advantage of preventing erroneous measurement of the skin condition due to a dark or dry surrounding environment.

[0126] Next, the customized cosmetics recommendation step S2 of the customized cosmetics providing system according to the present invention will be described.

[0127] The customized cosmetic recommendation step S2 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a step of recommending a suitable cosmetic to the user based on the data acquired in the previously performed skin diagnosis step S1.

[0128] According to one embodiment, the communication unit 16 of the diagnostic device 10 transmits the skin condition diagnostic result to the skin management server 20, and the skin management server 20 can recommend customized cosmetics.

[0129] Next, the skin management server 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

[0130] FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a skin management server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0131] The skin management server 20 may include at least one of a communication unit 21 , a storage unit 22 , a control unit 23 , a customized cosmetics DB 24 , and a makeup DB 25 .

[0132] The communication unit 21 may transmit and receive data necessary for providing customized cosmetics with the diagnostic device 10 or the manufacturing device 30. For example, the communication unit 21 may transmit and receive data related to skin condition diagnosis with the diagnostic device 10, and transmit and receive data related to customized cosmetics with the manufacturing device 30. The communication unit 21 may also transmit and receive data related to customized cosmetics with the diagnostic device 10.

[0133] The communication unit 21 is similar to the communication unit 16 of the diagnostic device 10, and the same content will be omitted.

[0134] The storage unit 17 may store data necessary for recommending cosmetics. Specifically, the storage unit 17 may store a skin condition diagnosis result and information about customized cosmetics. For example, the storage unit 17 may store a table that maps the skin condition diagnosis result and the ingredients, contents, and blending ratios of cosmetic materials.

[0135] The customized cosmetics DB 24 may be a database that accumulates information on skin condition diagnosis results and corresponding customized cosmetics. The customized cosmetics DB 24 may store the skin condition diagnosis results and the corresponding customized cosmetics every time a skin condition diagnosis result is received, and manage the information on the customized cosmetics.

[0136] The makeup DB 25 may be a database that accumulates makeup images and the types of cosmetics or makeup points used in the corresponding makeup images. A makeup method using customized cosmetics recommended to a user can be recommended through the makeup DB 25.

[0137] The operations of each component described above are merely examples, and each component may perform various operations necessary for recommending customized cosmetics.

[0138] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the skin management server 20 includes a WAS (Web Application Server). In this case, the skin management server 20 can control the transmission and reception of signals within the customized cosmetics provision system. For example, customer identification information, skin diagnosis result information, and information related to the customized cosmetics can be transmitted and received via the skin management server 20.

[0139] In addition, since the WAS can support the operation of an application, the skin management server 20 can also recommend customized cosmetics. That is, the skin management server 20 can recommend customized cosmetics based on the skin condition diagnosis result received from the diagnosis device 10, and transmit information about the customized cosmetics to the manufacturing device 30.

[0140] According to another embodiment, the diagnostic device 10 may diagnose a skin condition and recommend customized cosmetics using the data stored in the storage unit 17. The diagnostic device 10 may transmit information about the customized cosmetics to the manufacturing device 20.

[0141] In this manner, the cosmetic product recommendation step S2 is performed in the diagnostic device 10 or the skin management server 20, but this is merely an example, and the cosmetic product recommendation step may be performed in other devices other than the diagnostic device 10 and the skin management server 20.

[0142] Hereinafter, various cosmetic product recommendation methods will be described using an example in which the cosmetic product recommendation step S2 is performed by the diagnosis device 10, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the cosmetic product recommendation step S2 may be performed by the skin management server 20, or may be performed by both the diagnosis device 10 and the skin management server 20, but for ease of explanation, the case in which the diagnosis device 10 performs the step will be described as an example.

[0143] The diagnostic device 10 according to the present invention can recommend appropriate customized cosmetics to a user based on the diagnosis result of the skin condition. Specifically, the diagnostic device 10 can recommend the hue and ingredients of cosmetics suitable for the user's skin color according to the user's skin condition.

[0144] In the present invention, the customized cosmetic product may include a cosmetic product produced by mixing cosmetic materials in a predetermined mixing ratio, and a commonly used cosmetic product that has already been produced.

[0145] The method for recommending cosmetics according to the first embodiment of the present invention utilizes a cosmetic ingredient blend ratio database as follows.

[0146] The storage unit 17 of the diagnostic device 10 can store a cosmetics manufacturing database including the blending ratios of cosmetic ingredients.

[0147] Here, the blending ratio of the cosmetic material may include the components of the cosmetic material and the blending ratio of each component, and the components of the cosmetic material and the content of each component.

[0148] In addition, the blending ratio of cosmetic materials may include a blending ratio for determining the hue of the cosmetic, a blending ratio for determining the feel of the cosmetic (e.g., moisturizing or matte), a blending ratio for determining the coverage, and a blending ratio for determining the efficacy (e.g., whitening, pore reduction, wrinkle improvement, etc.), and may include a blending ratio that takes into consideration at least two of the hue, the feel of the cosmetic, the coverage, and the efficacy.

[0149] The control unit 19 of the diagnostic device 10 can obtain at least one blending ratio from the cosmetics manufacturing database stored in the storage unit 17 based on the skin condition diagnosis result.

[0150] In the present invention, the diagnosis result of the skin condition is obtained by analyzing the skin condition diagnosed in the skin diagnosis step S1. Specifically, the skin condition diagnosis result may include skin type, skin tone, skin hue, moisture content in the skin, oil content in the skin, skin elasticity, oil-moisture balance, size and number of wrinkles in the skin, size and number of pigmented areas in the skin, size and amount of pores in the skin, sensitivity, degree of exposure to ultraviolet rays, amount of sebum secretion, symmetry, cleansing and color makeup state, skin age, keratin, skin texture, skin type, degree of exposure to harmful environments, and skin stress due to cosmetic use habits.

[0151] The skin condition diagnosis result may be an objective diagnosis result or a relative diagnosis result taking into account the user's age.

[0152] Next, a method for obtaining at least one blending ratio based on the skin condition diagnosis result will be described using the example of the cosmetics manufacturing database shown in FIG.

[0153] FIG. 5 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a cosmetics manufacturing database according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0154] As shown in FIG. 5, a cosmetic manufacturing database according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a combination ratio of at least one of cosmetic materials A, B, C, D, E, and F, one of cosmetic materials G and H, and one of cosmetic materials M, N, O, P, and Q.

[0155] In this case, cosmetic materials A, B, C, D, E, and F are materials that determine the hue and coverage of the cosmetic, and A may be a material with a bright pink hue and high coverage, B may be a material with a bright yellow hue and high coverage, C may be a material with a dark pink hue and high coverage, D may be a material with a dark yellow hue and high coverage, E may be a material with a light beige hue and low coverage, and F may be a material with a dark beige hue and low coverage, but this is merely an example.

[0156] The control unit 19 can select one of the cosmetic materials A, B, C, D, E, and F, or a combination ratio of two or more cosmetic materials, taking into consideration the user's skin tone, level of pigmentation, pores, etc. For example, referring to FIG. 5, one of a plurality of combination ratio items 40 included in the cosmetic manufacturing database can be selected.

[0157] The blending ratio item 40 includes the components and amounts (g) of cosmetic materials used in the manufacture of cosmetics. For example, a blending ratio item 40 including 'A:24, C:8' may mean a customized cosmetic product that is manufactured by blending 24g of cosmetic material A and 8g of cosmetic material C.

[0158] On the other hand, cosmetic materials G and H are materials that determine the feel of the cosmetic when used, and G may be a material with high restoring power and H may be a matte material, but this is merely an example.

[0159] The control unit 19 can select either G or H, or adjust the blending ratio of G and H, taking into consideration the moisture and oil content of the user's skin.

[0160] In addition, the cosmetic materials M, N, O, P, and Q are materials that determine the effectiveness of the cosmetic product, and M may be a material for improving wrinkles, N a material for whitening, O a material for reducing pores, P a material for regulating sebum, and Q a material for improving acne, but these are merely examples.

[0161] The control unit 19 may select one of the cosmetic materials M, N, O, P, and Q based on the result of the diagnosis of the user's skin condition, or may select a blending ratio of at least two or more of the cosmetic materials. For example, when the number of wrinkles in the skin diagnosed as the user's skin condition is large, the control unit 19 may select , wrinkle improving material M can be selected.

[0162] In this way, the control unit 19 can recommend appropriate cosmetics to the user by varying the ratio of cosmetic materials that determine the hue, cosmetic materials that determine the feel of use, and cosmetic materials that determine the efficacy depending on the user's skin condition.

[0163] In this case, the control unit 19 may also determine different ratios of the cosmetic materials that determine the hue, the cosmetic materials that determine the feel, and the cosmetic materials that determine the efficacy. For example, the control unit 19 may adjust the ratios of the cosmetic materials that determine the hue, the cosmetic materials that determine the feel, and the cosmetic materials that determine the efficacy to be different depending on the user's skin condition, such as 6:3:1 or 3:3:3.

[0164] As shown in Fig. 5, the use of the cosmetics manufacturing database has the advantage of being able to provide customized cosmetics to users with only a small number of cosmetic materials. In other words, the advantage is that users can manufacture a wide variety of customized cosmetics by combining limited materials through cartridges.

[0165] In this manner, the control unit 19 of the diagnostic device 10 can obtain the blending ratio of at least one cosmetic material from the cosmetic manufacturing database based on the skin condition diagnosis result, and recommend customized cosmetics.

[0166] This has the advantage that the storage section 17 only needs to store the blending ratio of one cosmetic material, so that the space of the storage section 17 can be saved.

[0167] Meanwhile, according to another embodiment, the storage unit 17 of the diagnostic device 10 can store a database in which cosmetic product types are mapped to each skin condition.

[0168] Here, the cosmetic type may be indicated as 'Type 1 (GA-type)', 'Type 2 (NA-type)', etc., and the blending ratio of cosmetic materials may be stored in the manufacturing device 30 for each cosmetic type.

[0169] Therefore, the diagnostic device 10 can recommend a cosmetic type based on the user's skin condition and transmit the recommended cosmetic type to the manufacturing device 30, and the manufacturing device 30 can manufacture customized cosmetics according to the blending ratio of cosmetic materials corresponding to the received cosmetic type.

[0170] This has the advantage that the diagnostic device 10 can store the blending ratio of cosmetic materials and can efficiently manage storage space.

[0171] The cosmetic recommendation method according to the second embodiment of the present invention is a method for calculating a cosmetic ingredient formula, as follows.

[0172] According to one embodiment, the control unit 19 of the diagnostic device 10 can set each cosmetic material on each axis. The control unit 19 can position the diagnosis result of the user's skin condition in a space in which the cosmetic materials correspond to each axis. The control unit 19 can recognize the coordinate value information at which the diagnosis result of the skin condition is located as a mass ratio of multiple cosmetic materials. For example, when the diagnosis result of the user's skin condition is located at coordinate values ​​40 and 60 in a space in which the X-axis indicates cosmetic material A and the Y-axis indicates cosmetic material B, the control unit 19 can recommend a cosmetic product in which cosmetic material A and cosmetic material B are blended in a ratio of 4:6.

[0173] According to another embodiment, the control unit 19 of the diagnostic device 10 may select the color L for brightness, red and green for brightness, and the color B for brightness. The control unit 19 can obtain a, which indicates a hue closer to the color tone of the color tone, and b, which indicates a hue closer to the color tone of the color tone of the color tone, and the control unit 19 can obtain a, which indicates a hue closer to the color tone of the color tone of the color tone, and b, which indicates a hue closer to the color tone of the color tone of the color tone. The control unit 19 can apply the obtained L, a, and b to the already stored formula to recommend the color hue of the cosmetic product.

[0174] The method for recommending cosmetics according to the third embodiment of the present invention is a method for recommending makeup colors, and is as follows.

[0175] The diagnostic device 10 can obtain the skin hue of the user through the skin diagnosis step S1. The control unit 19 of the diagnostic device 10 can recommend a makeup hue corresponding to the skin hue of the user and a cosmetic material corresponding to the makeup hue.

[0176] According to one embodiment, the storage unit 17 of the diagnostic device 10 stores a makeup hue table that maps skin hues and makeup hues, so that the control unit 19 can obtain the makeup hue according to the user's skin hue.

[0177] According to another embodiment, the storage unit 17 of the diagnostic device 10 can store a colorimeter that quantifies skin color based on three indices, lightness, hue, and saturation, and a relational equation that indicates the value of the colorimeter and the makeup hue that is most suitable for the skin color. Therefore, the control unit 19 can obtain the makeup hue that is suitable for the user based on the user's skin hue and the measured colorimeter.

[0178] According to another embodiment, the control unit 19 of the diagnosis device 10 may acquire a skin image of a user and perform various image processing on the skin image of the user. Here, the image processing may include complementary color processing, recommended color processing, surface color variation processing based on skin reflectance, etc. In this manner, the control unit 19 may perform various image processing on the skin image to acquire a simulation image with makeup. The control unit 19 may recommend an appropriate makeup color to the user based on the simulation image. For example, when the control unit 19 provides a plurality of simulation images to the user via the diagnosis device 10 and receives an input signal for selecting one of the simulation images from the user, it may acquire a makeup color corresponding to the selected simulation image.

[0179] The control unit 19 can recommend customized cosmetics according to the makeup color obtained through various embodiments.

[0180] The method for recommending cosmetics according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is a method for recommending cosmetics taking into consideration the results of a medical interview, and is as follows.

[0181] The diagnostic device 10 may receive a signal inputting the type of cosmetic product that the user intends to use through a questioning method. Specifically, the display unit 18 of the diagnostic device 10 may display at least one question for recommending a type of cosmetic product to the user. For example, the display unit 18 may display a question for selecting a preferred cosmetic product from among natural cosmetics and cosmetics with high coverage. The user may select the cosmetic product that he or she intends to use through the input unit 11 of the diagnostic device 10.

[0182] The diagnostic device 10 can recommend a blending ratio of at least one cosmetic ingredient by taking into consideration the results of the skin diagnosis and the interview of the user, either individually or together.

[0183] The method for recommending cosmetics according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention is a method for recommending cosmetics taking into account peripheral factors, as follows.

[0184] The control unit 19 of the diagnostic device 10 determines the user's age range, the user's skin tone, and the like in the skin diagnostic step S1. , the user's facial structure, the cosmetic materials currently used by the user, the user's preferred fragrance, whether the user has skin pigmentation, etc. The control unit 19 can recommend appropriate cosmetics to the user based on the acquired skin tone, facial structure, cosmetic materials currently used, skin conditions such as pigmentation, etc.

[0185] For example, if the user's face structure is rectangular, shading products may be recommended. In another example, if the cosmetic materials used by the user are oily and the user's skin is oily, cosmetics with less oiliness may be recommended.

[0186] According to another embodiment, the control unit 19 of the diagnosis device 10 may acquire at least one of the user's hair color, the user's hairstyle, the face color, and the eye color. The control unit 19 may recommend appropriate customized cosmetics to the user by taking into consideration all of the acquired hair color, face color, and eye color.

[0187] Alternatively, the diagnosis device 10 may recommend customized cosmetics based on data mapping the coverage of makeup products for each level of pigmentation. Specifically, the level of pigmentation may refer to the pigment area relative to the area of ​​the face, and the coverage of the makeup products may be a low coverage product, a medium coverage product, or a high coverage product, but such classifications are merely exemplary. The makeup DB 25 may store data mapping the coverage of makeup products for each level of pigmentation. The diagnosis device 10 may analyze the pigmentation information of the user and recommend makeup products having suitable coverage for the user via the makeup DB 25.

[0188] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative, and the diagnostic device 10 may recommend cosmetics through methods other than the above-described cosmetic recommendation methods.

[0189] In addition, each embodiment of the above-mentioned method for recommending cosmetics may be implemented alone or in combination with a plurality of embodiments. For example, the control unit 19 of the diagnosis device 10 may recommend cosmetics manufactured with a combination ratio of cosmetic materials stored in the cosmetics manufacturing database or a combination ratio of cosmetic materials not stored in the cosmetics manufacturing database, taking into consideration the cosmetic materials' preference cosmetics of the user based on the interview result and the combination ratio of cosmetic materials acquired through the cosmetics manufacturing database.

[0190] The diagnostic device 10 can recommend a customized cosmetic product based on the diagnosis result of the skin condition, and transmit information on the recommended customized cosmetic product to the manufacturing device 30. Upon receiving the information on the customized cosmetic product, the manufacturing device 30 can be controlled to provide the customized cosmetic product to the user.

[0191] In this case, the customized cosmetics providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention may include at least one of a step S4 of acquiring customer information, a step S5 of confirming the intention to purchase the customized cosmetics, a step S6 of modifying the customized cosmetics, a step S7 of building big data on the customized cosmetics, and a step S8 of recommending makeup between the step S2 of recommending the customized cosmetics and the step S3 of providing the customized cosmetics.

[0192] Each step will now be described in detail.

[0193] First, the step S4 of acquiring customer information will be described.

[0194] Diagnostic device 10 is capable of accepting input of customer identification information.

[0195] The customer identification information may include at least one of the customer's name, gender, date of birth, contact information, ID, and password.

[0196] When the customer's identification information is input, the diagnostic device 10 can determine whether or not there is customer information that corresponds to the input identification information among the already stored customer information.

[0197] In various embodiments of the present invention, the diagnostic device 10 may pre-store at least one piece of customer information that respectively corresponds to (or includes) at least one piece of identification information.

[0198] The diagnostic device 10 can search whether there is customer information corresponding to or including the input identification information among at least one piece of customer information already stored.

[0199] If customer information corresponding to the identification information exists, the diagnostic device 10 can obtain the determined customer information.

[0200] In various embodiments, when a customer information management device (not shown) for customized cosmetics is operated separately, the diagnostic device 10 can transmit the identification information input to the customer information management device and receive customer information corresponding to the identification information from the customer management device. The customer information management device can be provided adjacent to the same sales floor as the diagnostic device 10 or can be provided in a remote location.

[0201] If there is no customer information corresponding to the identification information, the diagnostic device 10 can receive input of customer information.

[0202] The diagnostic device 10 may display a user interface (UI, GUI) for receiving input of customer information and acquire customer information input through the displayed user interface. The customer information acquired by the diagnostic device 10 may include the identification information inputted as described above.

[0203] In one embodiment, the diagnostic device 10 may display a user interface for asking the customer whether to input customer information, and may receive the input of customer information in response to the customer's response inputted through the user interface. As an example, the diagnostic device 10 may display a user interface for receiving the input of customer information when a positive response is inputted through the user interface for asking the customer whether to input customer information.

[0204] In one embodiment, the diagnostic device 10 may display a user interface for asking a customer whether or not they agree to the collection and use of personal information, and may receive input of customer information in response to the customer's response input through the user interface. For example, the diagnostic device 10 may display a user interface for receiving input of customer information when an agreement response is input through the user interface for asking a customer whether or not they agree to the collection and use of personal information.

[0205] Although the above describes an example of acquiring customer information in response to input of identification information, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in various embodiments, if the diagnostic device 10 does not store and manage the customer identification information and the corresponding customer information, or if there is no separate customer information management device, the diagnostic device 10 omits the operation of checking the already stored customer information corresponding to the identification information, and immediately displays a user interface for receiving the input of customer information. You can display it to get customer information.

[0206] Furthermore, the diagnostic device 10 may display the acquired customer information so that the customer can confirm it, or may store and manage the acquired customer information in a customized cosmetics database for each customer. In one embodiment, if a customer information management device is provided separately, the diagnostic device 10 may transmit the acquired customer information to the customer information management device.

[0207] In various embodiments of the present invention, the diagnostic device 10 can generate and manage a customized cosmetics database for each customer by storing the results of skin diagnosis and customized cosmetics recommendations performed after customer information is acquired in correspondence with the customer information.

[0208] Next, step S5 of confirming the intention to purchase customized cosmetics according to the present invention will be described.

[0209] The step S5 of confirming the intention to purchase the customized cosmetic product may be a step of displaying customized cosmetics recommended to the user based on the skin condition diagnosis result and confirming the intention to purchase the displayed customized cosmetic product from the user.

[0210] FIG. 6 is a view illustrating an example of a screen displayed in a step of confirming a purchase intention of customized cosmetics according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0211] According to one embodiment, the skin management server 20 can receive a skin condition diagnosis result from the device 10 and recommend customized cosmetics. In this case, the communication unit 21 of the skin management server 20 can transmit information on the recommended customized cosmetics to the diagnosis device 10. The diagnosis device 10 can receive information on the customized cosmetics from the skin management server 20, and the display unit 18 can display the received information on the customized cosmetics.

[0212] According to another embodiment, the diagnostic device 10 can recommend customized cosmetics based on the diagnosis result of the skin condition and display information about the customized cosmetics on the display unit 18.

[0213] As shown in Fig. 6, the display unit 18 of the diagnosis device 10 may display information about the customized cosmetics. The information about the customized cosmetics may include color information, feel information, coverage information, and efficacy information about the cosmetics.

[0214] The input unit 11 of the diagnostic device 10 can receive an instruction to select the confirm icon 701 or the modify icon 702 while displaying information about the customized cosmetic product.

[0215] When the input unit 11 of the diagnostic device 10 receives a command to select the confirmation icon 701, the communication unit 18 can transmit information about the customized cosmetic product being displayed to the manufacturing device 30. On the other hand, when the input unit 11 of the diagnostic device 10 receives a command to select the correction icon 702, the display unit 18 can display a correction screen for the customized cosmetic product.

[0216] Next, the step S6 of modifying the customized cosmetic product according to the present invention will be described.

[0217] Modifying the customized cosmetics step S6 may refer to modifying some or all of the recommended customized cosmetics via user input.

[0218] When the display unit 18 of the diagnostic device 10 receives a command to select the modification icon 702 shown in FIG. 6, it can display a customized cosmetic modification screen for modifying the customized cosmetic.

[0219] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for editing customized cosmetics according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Here, the provision of customized cosmetics may include the provision of cosmetics manufactured according to the blending ratio of cosmetic materials and the provision of commonly used cosmetics that have already been manufactured.

[0247] First, a method for manufacturing customized cosmetics using the cosmetic material blend ratio by the manufacturing device 30 will be described.

[0248] The diagnostic device 10 or the skin management server 20 can transmit information about the customized cosmetic product to the manufacturing device 30.

[0249] When the communication unit (not shown) of the manufacturing apparatus 30 receives the blending ratio of the cosmetic materials required to manufacture a customized cosmetic product from the skin management server 20, the manufacturing apparatus can manufacture the cosmetic product based on the blending ratio of the received cosmetic materials.

[0250] Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing customized cosmetics using the manufacturing apparatus 30 according to various embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0251] The cosmetic manufacturing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention uses a cartridge replacement type cosmetic manufacturing device as follows.

[0252] 10 and 11 are diagrams illustrating a cartridge-replacement type cosmetic manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the compression member 130 of the cartridge-replacement type cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 100 is raised, and Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the compression member 130 of the cartridge-replacement type cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 100 is lowered.

[0253] The manufacturing device 30 of the customized cosmetic providing system may include a cartridge replacement type cosmetic manufacturing device 100 .

[0254] The cartridge replacement type cosmetic manufacturing device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 110, a cartridge support 120, a cartridge 121, a compression member 130, a motor 140, and a sensor. The cosmetic container 160 may include a cosmetic holder 150, a cosmetic container 160, and a main body support 170. However, this is merely an example, and some of the components listed above may be omitted, or other components may be included.

[0255] The main body 110 is connected to the cartridge support 120 and the motor 140, respectively, so that the cartridge support 120 and the motor 140 can be mounted thereon.

[0256] While the cartridge replacement type cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 100 is operating, the cartridge support stand 120 and the motor 140 can move, and the main body 110 can prevent the cartridge replacement type cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 100 from shaking due to the movement of the cartridge support stand 120 and the motor 140.

[0257] The cartridge support base 120 can accommodate a plurality of cartridges 121. The cartridge support base 120 may have a plurality of through holes 122 formed therein, which are vertically penetrated and accommodate the cartridges 121 therein.

[0258] The circular image shown in FIG. 10 shows the cartridges 121 inserted into the respective through-holes 122 as viewed from the vertical direction.

[0259] The cartridge support stand 120 may be divided into an upper cartridge support stand 120a and a lower cartridge support stand 120b, and the through hole 122 formed in the upper cartridge support stand 120a may be larger than the through hole 122 formed in the lower cartridge support stand 120b.

[0260] The cartridge support platform 120 can rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0261] Alternatively, the main body support 170 supporting the cosmetic container 160 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0262] The main body support 170 may further include a sensor 150 , in which case the sensor 150 and the cosmetic container 160 may rotate together with the main body support 170 .

[0263] The cartridge 121 may contain cosmetic materials. In particular, the plurality of cartridges 121 may contain different cosmetic materials. The cartridge 121 may be attached to the cartridge support base 120. The cartridge 121 may be inserted into or separated from a through hole 122 formed in the cartridge support base 120. For example, when all of the cosmetic materials contained in the cartridge 121 are consumed, the empty cartridge 121 may be separated from the cartridge support base 120 and a new cartridge 121 may be inserted. Alternatively, when all of the cosmetic materials contained in the cartridge 121 are consumed, the cartridge 121 may be refilled with cosmetic materials. Refilling of cosmetic materials is possible both when the cartridge 121 is attached to the cartridge support base 120 or when it is separated from the cartridge support base 120.

[0266] The cartridge lid 121b may have a surface to which the compression member 130 applies pressure. When the compression member 130 applies pressure to the cartridge lid 121b, the cartridge lid 121b may be inserted into the cartridge 121. The compression member 130 is inserted into the cartridge 121 to compress the cosmetic material contained in the cartridge 121 and discharge it to the outside of the cartridge 121. When the compression member 130 presses the cosmetic material downward, the cosmetic material contained in the cartridge 121 may pass through the material injection hole 121a and be injected into the cosmetic container 160. Specifically, when the compression member 130 is in an upper position as shown in FIG. 10 and then is lowered downward as shown in FIG. 11, the cosmetic material contained in the cartridge 121 may be received in the cosmetic container 160.

[0267] By rotating the cartridge support base 120, the cartridge 121 located on the upper side of the cosmetic container 160 can be changed. Therefore, the cosmetic material can be changed and injected into the cosmetic container 160 while the cartridge support base 120 is rotating.

[0268] The compression member 130 may be attached to a motor 140. The motor 140 may be formed with a rack 141 protruding downward, and the compression member 130 may be engaged with the rack to move up and down.

[0269] The motor 140 is attached to the upper side of the cartridge support base 120 and can raise and lower the compression member 130. The motor 140 can lower the compression member 130 based on the blending ratio of the cosmetic materials. For example, when the blending ratio of the cosmetic materials is (cosmetic material A):(cosmetic material B)=7:3, the ratio of the descending length of the compression member 130 relative to the cartridge 121 containing the cosmetic material A to the descending length of the compression member 130 relative to the cartridge 121 containing the cosmetic material B can be 7:3. In other words, the motor 140 can lower the compression member 130 in accordance with the blending ratio of the cosmetic materials to inject the cosmetic materials into the cosmetic container 160.

[0270] The descending distance of the compression member 130 can be set by a control unit (not shown). The control unit (not shown) can control the descending distance of the compression member 130 based on the blending ratio of the cosmetic material received.

[0271] Alternatively, the distance that the compression member 130 is lowered may be set by a sensor 150 .

[0272] The sensor 150 can measure the weight of the cosmetic container 160. For example, the sensor 150 can be a load cell type electronic scale.

[0273] The sensor 150 can measure the weight of the cosmetic container 160 and measure the weight of the cosmetic material injected into the cosmetic container 160. The control unit (not shown) can control the elevation of the compression member 130 using the weight of the cosmetic material measured through the sensor 150.

[0274] Meanwhile, the cartridge 121 may be formed in the shape of an airless pump container. When the cartridge 121 is an airless pump container, the cosmetic material may be injected into the cosmetic container 160 through pumping.

[0275] The cosmetic container 160 can contain cosmetic materials that are dispensed from the cartridge 121 .
