[0011] (The knowledge and other information that formed the basis of this disclosure) At the time when the inventors came up with the present disclosure, electronic treatment devices such as the one disclosed in Patent Document 1 mentioned above were known.

[0012] Also, hairdressing and beauty appliances for hair-cutting purposes (hair-cutting hairdressing and beauty appliances) that have a treatment part capable of cutting hair, such as electric razors and clippers, are known. When such hair-cutting hairdressing and beauty appliances are used to cut hair on the skin of a person to be treated, the hair-cutting hairdressing and beauty appliances may affect the skin.

[0013] For this reason, it would be preferable to reduce the impact that a hair-cutting beauty salon device has on the skin when it is used, but since human skin properties vary greatly from person to person, it has been difficult to set a uniform method of dealing with this.

[0014] For this reason, when a hair-cutting beauty salon device has adversely affected the skin, the skin has been cared for using an electronic treatment device such as that disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1.

[0015] However, when using an electronic treatment device such as that described in Patent Document 1 to care for the skin, there are problems in that it is necessary to secure time for the treatment and the work is time-consuming. In addition, there is also a problem that it is difficult for general treatment recipients to accurately grasp the current skin condition. Furthermore, there is also a problem that, due to the increase in time constraints and time-consuming work, even if the hair-cutting beauty equipment affects the skin, some treatment recipients may not be able to receive appropriate care.

[0016] Under these circumstances, the inventors came up with the idea of ​​providing a more appropriate skin care treatment to a person to be treated when using a beauty salon device for hair cutting purposes.

[0017] With this idea in mind, the inventors have come up with the subject matter of the present disclosure.

[0018] The present disclosure provides a hair-cutting beauty treatment device and a beauty treatment system that are capable of providing a more appropriate skin care treatment to a person to be treated.

[0019] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, more detailed description than necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed description of already well-known matters or duplicate description of substantially the same configuration may be omitted.

[0020] It should be noted that the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0021] In the following embodiments, an electric razor that mainly cuts whiskers, which are body hair (hair) of humans or animals, will be exemplified as the hair-cutting beauty appliance.

[0022] Here, in the following embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the grip portion of the electric razor is defined as the up-down direction, the direction in which the head portion protrudes from the grip portion (the longitudinal direction of the head portion) is defined as the width direction, and the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction and the width direction is defined as the front-rear direction.

[0023] In the following embodiments, the side of the grip where the head is located is defined as the top in the up-down direction, and the side of the grip where the switch is provided is defined as the front in the front-rear direction.

[0024] (Embodiment 1) The electric shaver (hair-cutting beauty appliance) 10 according to this embodiment includes a main body 20 having a treatment section 230 capable of cutting hair. In this embodiment, the treatment section 230 has a blade section 240 that cuts hair.

[0025] 1, the main body 20 includes a grip 210 that is held by hand, and a head 220 that is supported by the grip 210. A blade 240 is attached to the head 220. It is preferable that the blade 240 is detachably attached to the head 220. It is also possible to provide an electric shaver that does not include the head 220.

[0026] The grip portion 210 is formed, for example, from a synthetic resin or the like, and is provided with a grip housing 211 having an internal space. Various components such as a circuit board that supplies power to drive the electric razor 10 are built into the grip housing 211.

[0027] Also, a press-type switch section 212 for operating (turning on / off) the electric shaver 10 is formed on the grip housing 211. Note that, although the press-type switch section 212 is exemplified as the switch section in this embodiment, a slide type or other switch may be used as long as it is a switch that can turn on / off the power.

[0028] In this embodiment, the switch section 212 is formed on the front surface of the grip section 210, i.e., the front surface (front face) of the electric shaver 10. The front surface of the electric shaver 10 refers to the surface facing the user (subject U) when the user holds the grip section 210 of the electric shaver 10 during normal use.

[0029] 1, the head unit 220 includes a head housing 221 attached to the grip unit 210, and a drive mechanism (not shown) is housed within this head housing 221. As this drive mechanism, for example, a conventionally known drive mechanism such as a vibration type linear actuator or a drive mechanism composed of a rotary motor and a conversion mechanism that converts rotary motion into reciprocating linear motion can be used.

[0030] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the blade portion 240 is equipped with an outer cutter 250 exposed toward the upper side of the head portion 220, and an inner cutter 260 arranged inside the outer cutter 250 (below the outer cutter 250) and moves relative to the outer cutter 250.

[0031] The outer blade 250 has a large number of blade holes (not shown), and the outer blade 250 is arranged so that the large number of blade holes are exposed toward the upper side of the head portion 220. The portion of the outer blade 250 exposed toward the upper side of the head portion 220 serves as a blade surface (shaving surface) 251 that comes into contact with the skin (target skin) S of a user (person to be treated) U. Thus, in this embodiment, the blade portion 240 has the blade surface 251 that can come into contact with the target skin S when cutting hair.

[0032] On the other hand, the inner blade 260 is attached to the above-mentioned drive mechanism (not shown), and when the drive mechanism is driven, the inner blade 260 reciprocates in the width direction (longitudinal direction).

[0033] By providing such a blade portion 240 on the upper portion of the head portion 220, the skin (target skin) S pressed against the blade surface 251 is caused to protrude inward through the blade hole, making it possible to shave hairs such as beards.

[0034] In this embodiment, the main body 20 is provided with a sensor 311 (see FIG. 5). This sensor 311 is preferably capable of measuring the condition of the target skin (the same surface as the shaving surface) S that is the subject of hair cutting by the blade 240. In other words, it is preferable to give the electric shaver 10 the function of a sensor shaver having a sensor 311 that can measure the same surface as the shaving surface.

[0035] Examples of such sensors 311 that can be used include an electrode sensor, a non-contact sensor, an infrared sensor, an optical sensor, an image sensor, an imaging sensor, a moisture sensor, a microscope, etc. In this case, the electric shaver 10 can be provided with two or more sensors, or with two or more types of sensors.

[0036] Moreover, the sensor 311 is preferably disposed within an area R1 having an outer boundary C1 located 1 cm away from the outer boundary 251a of the blade surface 251 (see FIG. 4).

[0037] In this way, the sensor 311 is placed near the blade portion 240, which is a basic function, so that it is possible to measure the condition of the target skin S immediately after the hair is cut (immediately after treatment with the blade portion 240) and immediately before cutting.

[0038] In addition, when the sensor 311 installed near the blade portion 240 is configured to measure the state of the target skin S immediately after cutting the hair, it becomes possible for the blade portion 240 to cut the hair present at the part of the target skin S that is to be measured just before the sensor 311 measures the state of the target skin S. Then, if the hair present at the part of the target skin S that is to be measured is cut by the blade portion 240, it is possible to prevent the sensor 311 from malfunctioning due to the hair present at the part of the target skin S that is to be measured. In this way, when the sensor 311 installed near the blade portion 240 is configured to measure the state of the target skin S immediately after cutting the hair, when the electric razor (hair-cutting beauty equipment) 10 is used, the blade portion 240 not only has the function of simply cutting the hair present at the target skin S, but also has the function of an automatic hair cutter that cuts off excess hair so that the sensor 311 does not malfunction.

[0039] In addition, in this embodiment, as described later, it is possible to provide a more appropriate skin care treatment to the treatment recipient U simply by using the electric shaver 10. Therefore, if the sensor 311 is arranged in the region R1, it is possible to select and perform a more appropriate skin care treatment based on the state of the skin S immediately after the hair is cut (immediately after treatment with the blade section 240). As a result, it is possible to select and perform a more appropriate skin care treatment without relying on the skill of the treatment recipient U. Also, it is possible to perform the hair cutting treatment with a more appropriate pressure based on the state of the skin S immediately before the hair is cut.

[0040] 5, the main body 20 includes a skin information acquiring unit 30 that acquires skin information, and a threshold acquiring unit 60 that acquires a threshold (shaver operation threshold data) for determining the condition of the skin S based on the skin information acquired by the skin information acquiring unit 30. The main body 20 also includes a treatment setting unit 80 that sets the operation state of the treatment unit 230 based on the skin information acquired by the skin information acquiring unit 30 and the threshold acquired by the threshold acquiring unit 60.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the skin information acquisition unit 30 includes a measurement mechanism (skin condition detection unit) 31 capable of measuring the condition of the skin S, and this measurement mechanism 31 includes a sensor 311 capable of measuring the condition of the skin S.

[0042] In this case, the measuring mechanism (skin condition detection unit) 31 can be configured to detect the condition of the skin S using at least one or more indices indicating skin characteristics. Examples of indices indicating skin characteristics include moisture content, oil content, texture, wrinkles, age spots, dullness, acne, shine, pore condition, stratum corneum disorder, scales, etc.

[0043] Furthermore, by configuring the main body unit 20 in this manner, it is possible to provide more appropriate skin care treatment to the skin S of the subject U, depending on the condition of the skin S acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30.

[0044] In this embodiment, the main body unit 20 includes a skin information output unit 40 that outputs the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 to the treatment setting unit 80. Therefore, the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 is sent to the treatment setting unit 80 via the skin information output unit 40.

[0045] In this embodiment, the main body 20 includes a threshold storage unit 50 that stores a threshold value, and the threshold acquisition unit 60 acquires the threshold value stored in the threshold storage unit 50. The main body 20 includes a threshold output unit 70 that outputs the threshold value acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60 to the treatment setting unit 80. Therefore, in this embodiment, the threshold data stored in advance in the threshold storage unit 50 is acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60, and the threshold value acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60 is sent to the treatment setting unit 80 via the threshold output unit 70. In this embodiment, the threshold storage unit 50 stores a set value A and a set value B that is greater than the set value A as threshold data in advance.

[0046] In this embodiment, the main body 20 includes a skin information transmission means 90 for transmitting information to the information display unit 100 capable of displaying skin information. With this configuration, the treatment subject U can know his / her own information from the information display unit 100 on a daily basis. In this embodiment, the information display unit 100 is provided in the main body 20, and this information display unit 100 can be configured, for example, by a display provided in the main body 20 of the electric shaver 10. Then, the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 is sent to the skin information output unit 40, and is sent to the information display unit 100 via the skin information transmission means 90. In this way, the treatment subject U, etc. can check the skin information displayed on the information display unit 100. This information display unit 100 can display skin information, threshold update notifications, etc.

[0047] Furthermore, the treatment setting unit 80 sets the operation state of the treatment unit 230 based on the skin information acquired by the skin information acquiring unit 30 and the threshold value acquired by the threshold value acquiring unit 60 .

[0048] In this embodiment, this treatment setting unit 80 includes an optimal treatment determination unit 81 for determining the optimal treatment method, and a treatment operation control unit 82 for operating the treatment unit 230 with the optimal treatment method (treatment control value) determined by the optimal treatment determination unit 81.

[0049] In this embodiment, the optimal treatment determination unit 81 determines the optimal treatment method (sets the treatment control value) by comparing the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 with the threshold value acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60.

[0050] Specifically, the optimal treatment method is determined (treatment control values ​​are set) by performing a process as shown in FIG. 6 (operation state setting process of the treatment unit 230).

[0051] 6, first, the operation state setting process of the treatment unit 230 compares the skin information (measurement value a) sent from the skin information output unit 40 with the set value A sent from the threshold output unit 70 (S10→S11). Specifically, it is determined whether the skin information (measurement value a) sent from the skin information output unit 40 is greater than the set value A sent from the threshold output unit 70.

[0052] If the determination in step S11 is "YES", the process proceeds to step S12.

[0053] That is, in step S12, it is determined whether or not the skin information (measurement value a) sent from the skin information output unit 40 is smaller than the set value B sent from the threshold output unit 70 (S11→S12).

[0054] If the determination in step S11 is "NO", the process proceeds to step S13, where the control value is set to α.

[0055] If the determination in step S12 is "YES", the process proceeds to step S14, where the control value β is set.

[0056] On the other hand, if the determination in step S12 is "NO", the process proceeds to step S15, where the control value γ is set.

[0057] Then, when the process proceeds to any one of steps S13 to S15, the control value set in the respective steps is output to the treatment operation control unit 82 (S13 to S15→S16).

[0058] Then, in step S16, the control values ​​set in the respective steps are output to the treatment operation control unit 82, and then the operation state setting process of the treatment unit 230 is terminated (S16→S17).

[0059] In this way, the treatment operation control unit 82 operates the treatment unit 230 according to the optimal treatment method (treatment control value) determined by the optimal treatment determination unit 81.

[0060] One example of such control is when the treatment unit 230 is equipped with a member such as a flash lamp for irradiating light to the skin S to care for the skin S, control can be made to change the wavelength and intensity of the light irradiated to the skin S according to the condition of the skin S. Note that when caring for the skin S by providing electrical stimulation, ultrasound, or the like to the skin S to promote cellular activation, for example, control can be made to change the intensity and cycle of the electrical stimulation, ultrasound, or the like provided to the skin S according to the condition of the skin S.

[0061] Moreover, the main body 20 may also have a configuration shown in FIG.

[0062] The main body unit 20 shown in Fig. 7 includes a skin information acquisition unit 30 that acquires skin information, and a threshold acquisition unit 60 that acquires a threshold (shaver operation threshold data) for determining the condition of the skin S based on the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30. The main body unit 20 shown in Fig. 7 also includes a treatment setting unit 80 that sets the operation state of the treatment unit 230 based on the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 and the threshold acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60.

[0063] The skin information acquisition unit 30 includes a measurement mechanism (skin condition detection unit) 31 capable of measuring the condition of the skin S, and this measurement mechanism 31 includes a sensor 311 capable of measuring the condition of the skin S.

[0064] 7, the skin information acquisition unit 30 includes a practitioner information input mechanism 312 that can input the condition of the skin S of the treatment recipient U. In this way, by inputting skin information of concern to the treatment recipient U (such as skin troubles that the treatment recipient U wishes to improve) to the practitioner information input mechanism 312, it becomes possible to perform treatment that is more suitable for the current condition of the skin S of the treatment recipient U. Note that examples of skin information of concern to the treatment recipient U include various information such as the skin S being dry or deep wrinkles being formed on the skin S.

[0065] Moreover, the main body section 20 shown in FIG. 7 includes a skin information output section 40 that outputs the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition section 30 to the treatment setting section 80.

[0066] Furthermore, the main body section 20 shown in FIG. 7 includes a threshold storage section 50 that stores a threshold value, and a threshold value output section 70 that outputs the threshold value acquired by the threshold value acquisition section 60 to the treatment setting section 80.

[0067] Here, in the main body unit 20 shown in Figure 7, the threshold memory unit 50 is equipped with a threshold update means (external threshold input unit) 51 that is capable of updating the threshold stored in the threshold memory unit 50 based on threshold information obtained from the outside.

[0068] 7 further includes a network connection unit 120 that can be connected to a network system such as the Internet 400. The threshold update means 51 is connected to the network system via the network connection unit 120, and is capable of updating the thresholds stored in the threshold storage unit 50 by obtaining the latest threshold information.

[0069] In this way, in the main body 20 shown in FIG. 7, by providing a threshold updating means 51, the threshold for determining the optimal treatment method can be updated to more reliable information based on knowledge obtained from academia, etc. and big data obtained from biometric information, etc.

[0070] The main body 20 shown in Fig. 7 also includes a skin information transmitting unit 110 capable of transmitting the skin information acquired by the skin information acquiring unit 30 to the outside (external system 300 such as a server). In the main body 20 shown in Fig. 7, the skin information transmitting unit 110 is also connected to a network system via the network connection unit 120. Then, data sent to the skin information transmitting unit 110 can be transmitted to the outside (external system 300 such as a server) via the network system.

[0071] Moreover, the main body unit 20 shown in Fig. 7 includes a skin information transmission means 90 that transmits information to an information display unit 201 capable of displaying skin information. Here, in the main body unit 20 shown in Fig. 7, the information display unit 201 is provided in a terminal device 200 such as a personal computer or a smartphone. This information display unit 201 can also be configured, for example, with a display provided in the terminal device 200. This information display unit 201 can display skin information, threshold update notifications, and the like.

[0072] In addition, the treatment setting unit 80 is equipped with an optimal treatment determination unit 81 for determining the optimal treatment method, and a treatment operation control unit 82 for operating the treatment unit 230 using the optimal treatment method (treatment control value) determined by the optimal treatment determination unit 81.

[0073] 7, the treatment setting unit 80 includes a basic function control unit 821 that controls the basic functions of the treatment unit 230. Specifically, the treatment operation control unit 82 includes a basic function control unit 821 that controls the basic functions of the treatment unit 230.

[0074] 8, the basic function control unit 821 is provided with a contact pressure detection mechanism (skin contact pressure detection unit) 8211 that detects the contact pressure of the outer blade 250 on the skin S. Furthermore, the basic function control unit 821 is provided with a contact pressure changing means (blade surface pressure reduction position adjustment unit) 8212 that can change the contact pressure based on the contact pressure detected by the contact pressure detection mechanism 8211.

[0075] This ensures that the contact pressure of the outer blade 250 with the skin S is appropriate when the electric shaver 10 is in use. This allows the electric shaver 10 to be used in a state more suitable for treatment at the treatment section 230.

[0076] Specifically, the contact pressure changing means 8212 is provided with an outer cutter position adjusting mechanism (outer cutter position adjusting portion) 8212a that adjusts the position of the outer cutter 250.

[0077] In this way, the position of the outer blade 250 can be adjusted based on the skin condition (contact pressure of the outer blade 250 against the skin S) to reduce the pressure of the blade surface 251, thereby enabling control to be performed to provide a more appropriate contact pressure when using the electric shaver 10. The movement control of the outer blade 250 by the outer blade position adjustment mechanism 8212a can be performed using, for example, a solenoid. In addition, the optimum treatment determination unit 81 may reduce the pressure based on the current skin condition.

[0078] The contact pressure changing means 8212 may also include a notification means (user pressing force strength guide unit) 8212b for notifying the contact state of the outer blade 250 against the skin S. Methods for notifying the contact state of the outer blade 250 against the skin S include sound, vibration, light, and the like.

[0079] This makes it possible to notify the person U of the skin condition (the contact pressure of the outer blade 250 on the skin S), and to guide the person U to reduce pressure if the person U is pressing too hard.

[0080] (Embodiment 2) In this embodiment, a hairdressing and beauty system 1 including the hair-cutting hairdressing and beauty device 10 shown in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 and its modified example will be described.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 9, the hairdressing and beauty system 1 of this embodiment includes an electric razor (hair-cutting hairdressing device) 10 having a skin information transmission unit (skin information transmission means) 110, and an information display means (information display unit) 201 capable of displaying skin information.

[0082] In this embodiment, an information display means (information display unit) 201 capable of displaying skin information is provided in a terminal device 200 such as a personal computer or a smartphone.

[0083] Moreover, the electric shaver (hair-cutting beauty salon appliance) 10 includes a network connection unit 120 that can be connected to a network system such as the Internet 400. The data sent to the skin information transmission unit 110 can be transmitted to an information display means (information display unit) 201 of the terminal device 200 via the network system.

[0084] This makes it possible to view the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 (such as a graph of change over time or an image showing the current skin condition) on an information display means (information display unit) 201 provided on a terminal device 200 such as a personal computer or smartphone.

[0085] Thus, the beauty salon system 1 according to the present embodiment includes an electric razor (hair-cutting beauty salon device) 10 capable of outputting measurement values ​​to the outside.

[0086] The beauty salon system 1 may also be configured as shown in FIG.

[0087] The hairdressing and beauty system 1 shown in Figure 10 comprises an electric razor (hair-cutting hairdressing and beauty device) 10 having a threshold update means (external threshold input unit) 51, and a threshold transmission means 310 capable of transmitting threshold data acquired by a threshold acquisition unit 60.

[0088] In the beauty salon system 1 shown in FIG. 10, a threshold transmission means 310 capable of transmitting threshold data acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60 is provided in an external system 300 such as a server.

[0089] Moreover, the electric shaver (hair-cutting beauty salon appliance) 10 includes a network connection unit 120 that can be connected to a network system such as the Internet 400. Threshold data sent from the threshold transmission means 310 can be transmitted to threshold update means (external threshold input unit) 51 via the network system.

[0090] In this way, based on the threshold data sent from the threshold transmission means 310, the threshold update means (external threshold input unit) 51 updates the threshold stored in the threshold memory unit 50, and the updated threshold is acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60.

[0091] The beauty salon system 1 may also be configured as shown in FIG.

[0092] The hairdressing system 1 shown in Fig. 11 includes an electric razor (hair-cutting hairdressing device) 10 having a skin information transmission unit (skin information transmission means) 110 and a threshold update means (external threshold input unit) 51, and information display means (information display unit) 201 capable of displaying skin information. The hairdressing system 1 shown in Fig. 11 also includes threshold transmission means 310 capable of transmitting threshold data acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60, and a skin information storage unit 320 capable of storing data sent to the skin information transmission unit 110.

[0093] In the beauty salon system 1 shown in FIG. 11, information display means (information display unit) 201 capable of displaying skin information is provided in a terminal device 200 such as a personal computer or a smartphone.

[0094] In addition, in the hairdressing and beauty system 1 shown in Figure 11, a threshold transmission means 310 capable of transmitting threshold data acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60 and a skin information storage unit 320 capable of storing data sent to the skin information transmission unit 110 are provided in an external system 300 such as a server.

[0095] Moreover, the electric shaver (hair-cutting beauty salon appliance) 10 includes a network connection unit 120 that can be connected to a network system such as the Internet 400. The data sent to the skin information transmission unit 110 can be transmitted to an information display means (information display unit) 201 of the terminal device 200 via the network system.

[0096] This makes it possible to view the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 (such as a graph of change over time or an image showing the current skin condition) on an information display means (information display unit) 201 provided on a terminal device 200 such as a personal computer or smartphone.

[0097] Moreover, the threshold data sent from the threshold transmission means 310 can be transmitted to the threshold update means (external threshold input unit) 51 via the network system.

[0098] In this way, based on the threshold data sent from the threshold transmission means 310, the threshold update means (external threshold input unit) 51 updates the threshold stored in the threshold memory unit 50, and the updated threshold is acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60.

[0099] Furthermore, the data sent to the skin information transmission unit 110 can be transmitted to a skin information storage unit 320 of the external system 300 via a network system.

[0100] In this way, the skin information data of the treatment recipient U can be used to provide feedback to the person or as big data.

[0101] [Actions and Effects] The following describes the characteristic configurations of the hair-cutting beauty salon appliances and beauty salon systems shown in the above-described embodiments and their modified examples, and the effects obtained thereby.

[0102] (1) The hair-cutting beauty salon device 10 shown in each of the above-described embodiments and the modified examples includes a main body unit 20 having a treatment unit 230 capable of cutting hair. The main body unit 20 also includes a skin information acquisition unit 30 that acquires skin information, and a threshold acquisition unit 60 that acquires a threshold for determining the condition of the skin S based on the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30. The main body unit 20 also includes a treatment setting unit 80 that sets the operating state of the treatment unit 230 based on the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 and the threshold acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60.

[0103] In this way, it becomes possible to provide a more appropriate skin care treatment to the treatment recipient U when cutting hair using the hair-cutting beauty salon device 10. In other words, it becomes possible to provide a more appropriate skin care treatment to the treatment recipient U simply by using the hair-cutting beauty salon device 10.

[0104] Furthermore, there is an advantage that even if the person U to be treated does not know their skin information and does not have to reserve new time for treatment, more appropriate skin care can be selected and performed based on the acquired skin information.

[0105] In this way, by using the hair-cutting beauty salon device 10 shown in each of the above-mentioned embodiments and their modified examples, it is possible to perform skin treatment suitable for the current condition of the treatment subject U without taking any additional time, and it becomes possible to care for the skin stress caused by the hair-cutting beauty salon device 10.

[0106] (2) The skin information acquisition unit 30 may further include a measurement mechanism 31 capable of measuring the condition of the skin S.

[0107] In this way, more appropriate skin care can be selected and performed based on the condition of the skin S measured by the measuring mechanism 31.

[0108] (3) The measurement mechanism 31 may also include a sensor 311 capable of measuring the condition of the skin S.

[0109] In this way, more appropriate skin care can be selected and performed based on the condition of the skin S measured by the sensor 311.

[0110] (4) The treatment unit 230 may also include a blade section 240 having a blade surface 251 that can come into contact with the skin S when cutting hair. The sensor 311 may be disposed within an area R1 having an outer boundary C1 that is located 1 cm away from the outer boundary 251a of the blade surface 251.

[0111] In this way, since the sensor 311 is installed near the blade portion 240, which is a basic function, the condition of the skin S immediately after the hair is cut (immediately after treatment with the blade portion 240) can be known. Then, based on the condition of the skin S immediately after the hair is cut (immediately after treatment with the blade portion 240), more appropriate skin care can be selected and performed. Therefore, more appropriate skin care can be selected and performed without relying on the skill of the person U to be treated.

[0112] (5) The skin information acquisition unit 30 may further include a practitioner information input mechanism 312 that allows the practitioner to input the condition of the skin S of the recipient U.

[0113] In this way, it becomes possible for the recipient U to input skin condition data of concern to the practitioner information input mechanism 312. Then, based on the skin condition data of concern to the recipient U inputted to the practitioner information input mechanism 312, it becomes possible to select and provide more appropriate skin care.

[0114] (6) Furthermore, the main body unit 20 may include a skin information output unit 40 that outputs the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 to the treatment setting unit 80.

[0115] In this way, the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 can be output from the skin information output unit 40 to the treatment setting unit 80.

[0116] (7) The main body 20 may also include a skin information transmitting unit 130 capable of transmitting the skin information acquired by the skin information acquiring unit 30 to an external device.

[0117] In this way, the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 can be transmitted from the skin information transmission unit 130 to the outside.

[0118] (8) Furthermore, the main body 20 may include a threshold storage unit 50 that stores a threshold value, and the threshold acquisition unit 60 may acquire the threshold value stored in the threshold storage unit 50.

[0119] In this way, the threshold acquisition unit 60 can acquire the threshold value stored in the threshold storage unit 50. Then, the threshold value stored in the threshold storage unit 50 can be used to set the operating state of the treatment unit 230.

[0120] (9) The threshold storage unit 50 may further include a threshold update unit 51 capable of updating the thresholds stored in the threshold storage unit 50 based on threshold information obtained from an external source.

[0121] In this way, the thresholds stored in the threshold storage unit 50 can be updated to the latest information, making it possible to select and perform more appropriate skin care.

[0122] (10) Furthermore, the main body unit 20 may include a threshold output unit 70 that outputs the threshold acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60 to the treatment setting unit 80.

[0123] In this way, the threshold value acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 can be output from the threshold value output unit 70 to the treatment setting unit 80.

[0124] (11) Furthermore, the treatment setting unit 80 may include a basic function control unit 821 that controls the basic functions of the treatment unit 230.

[0125] In this way, it becomes possible to control the treatment state by the blade section 240, which is the basic function of the treatment section 230.

[0126] (12) The treatment unit 230 may also include an outer blade 250. The basic function control unit 821 may also include a contact pressure detection mechanism 8211 that detects the contact pressure of the outer blade 250 on the skin S, and a contact pressure changing means 8212 that can change the contact pressure based on the contact pressure detected by the contact pressure detection mechanism 8211.

[0127] In this way, the contact pressure of the outer blade 250 with the skin S can be controlled to a more appropriate contact pressure. As a result, the impact on the skin S of the person U when cutting hair with the hair-cutting beauty salon device 10 can be further reduced.

[0128] (13) The contact pressure changing means 8212 may also include an outer cutter position adjustment mechanism 8212 a that adjusts the position of the outer cutter 250 .

[0129] In this way, the position of the outer blade 250 can be adjusted to reduce the pressure of the blade surface 251 based on the skin condition (contact pressure of the outer blade 250 on the skin S), thereby enabling control to provide a more appropriate contact pressure.

[0130] (14) The contact pressure changing means 8212 may further include an informing means 8212b for informing the user of the state of contact between the outer blade 250 and the skin S.

[0131] In this way, the skin condition (the contact pressure of the outer blade 250 on the skin S) can be notified to the person U to be treated, and it is possible to guide the person U to reduce the pressure.

[0132] (15) Furthermore, the main body 20 may include a skin information transmitting means 90 that transmits information to the information display units 100, 201 capable of displaying skin information.

[0133] In this way, the skin condition of the person U and updated information on the threshold data can be displayed on the information display units 100, 201, thereby making the hair-cutting beauty salon device 10 easier to use.

[0134] (16) Moreover, the skin information transmission means 90 may transmit information to an information display unit 100 provided on the main body unit 20 .

[0135] In this way, various information can be confirmed using only the hair-cutting beauty salon device 10, without using other devices such as the terminal device 200. In other words, there is no need to prepare other devices such as the terminal device 200 in order to confirm information. As a result, it is possible to save time and effort when confirming information.

[0136] (17) Moreover, the skin information transmission means 90 may transmit information to an information display unit 201 provided in the terminal device 200.

[0137] In this way, various pieces of information can be confirmed by the terminal device 200, and therefore, various pieces of information can be confirmed while using the hair-cutting beauty salon appliance 10.

[0138] (18) The beauty salon system 1 includes a hair-cutting beauty salon device 10 as shown in any one of (1) to (17) and an information display means (information display unit) 201 capable of displaying skin information.

[0139] In this way, by configuring the hairdressing system 1 to include the hair-cutting hairdressing device 10 and an information display means (information display unit) 201, it becomes possible to check various information such as the condition of the skin S of the person U to be treated while using the hair-cutting hairdressing device 10.

[0140] (19) The hairdressing and beauty system 1 may also include a hair-cutting hairdressing and beauty device 10 as shown in any one of (1) to (17) and a threshold transmission means 310 capable of transmitting threshold data acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60.

[0141] In this way, the threshold data transmitted from the threshold transmission means 310 can be acquired by the threshold acquisition unit 60 provided in the hair-cutting beauty salon device 10, making it possible to set the operating state of the treatment unit 230 using the latest threshold data.

[0142] (20) The hairdressing and beauty system 1 may also include a hair-cutting hairdressing and beauty device 10 as shown in any one of (1) to (17) and a skin information transmitting means (skin information transmitting unit) 130 capable of transmitting skin information data acquired by the skin information acquiring unit 30.

[0143] In this way, the skin information acquired by the skin information acquisition unit 30 can be transmitted to the outside from the skin information transmission means (skin information transmission unit) 130. The skin information transmitted to the outside can be used as information for proposing more appropriate treatment (obtaining more optimal threshold information) or can be used for other business purposes by putting the acquired data into a database.
