Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a technology for a female body care device and a method thereof, which identifies an operating cycle based on a user's usage pattern based on an artificial intelligence model and controls at least one LED and a vibration motor based on the operating cycle. Background Technology

[0002] Conventional women's body care devices primarily provided only LED light therapy or simple vibration massage functions, adopting uniform operating modes that did not take into account the user's physical condition or usage habits. These existing devices had fundamental limitations in providing customized care functions that met the user's actual care needs, making it difficult to enhance ultimate satisfaction and therapeutic effects.

[0003] Recently, artificial intelligence technology is being applied across various healthcare and beauty fields, enabling personalized services. In the field of women's body care as well, there is a growing need to utilize AI models to comprehensively analyze users' accumulated usage patterns, physical responses, and preferences, thereby automatically identifying and controlling optimized operating cycles and modes.

[0004] Phototherapy technology, which utilizes light of specific wavelengths, is widely used in the fields of skin and muscle recovery. In particular, red light is known to be effective for cell activation and elasticity enhancement, while blue light is known for antibacterial and soothing effects. For efficient care, a structure is required that maximizes synergy by integrating LEDs of these different wavelengths into specific areas and arranging them in an intersecting manner.

[0005] While simple vibrations can aid in muscle relaxation, precise control of specific frequencies (e.g., micro-vibrations around 40Hz) and intensity is essential to achieve therapeutic goals such as muscle strengthening and elasticity restoration. Existing devices have low precision in such frequency control or lack customized control functions based on user patterns, making it difficult to achieve care effects specialized for muscle tissue.

[0006] In the case of devices equipped with multiple care clusters, there was a lack of intelligent control technology that accurately identifies the area requiring care (or the target care area) through actual contact with the user's body and activates only the clusters placed in that area. Consequently, inefficiency was pointed out as a problem, such as unnecessary energy consumption and potential light exposure to non-contact areas. (Prior Art Document 1) Published Patent Application No. 10-2023-0106273 (July 13, 2023) (Prior Art Document 2) Published Patent Application No. 10-2016-0086374 (July 19, 2016) The problem to be solved

[0007] According to the present invention, the optimal operating cycle is automatically identified by analyzing the user's accumulated usage patterns based on an artificial intelligence model. By intelligently controlling the timing and mode of operation of the LED and vibration motor to suit the different care needs and habits of each user, this maximizes user satisfaction and dramatically improves the care effect.

[0008] According to the present invention, a female body care device is disclosed in which a first LED (or red light) of 650 nm and a second LED (or blue light) of 470 nm are arranged alternately at a predetermined interval. In particular, through a structure in which four clusters are circularly surrounded by a cross-section of a cylindrical frame at 90-degree intervals, light of different wavelengths is uniformly and intensively irradiated onto all areas in contact with the user's body, thereby maximizing the synergy of tissue activation and antibacterial / soothing effects.

[0009] According to the present invention, among a plurality of LED clusters, a target care area requiring care that is in actual contact with the user's body is identified, and only the LEDs of the cluster corresponding to that area are selectively controlled to the ON state. This prevents the operation of unnecessary LEDs, thereby minimizing energy consumption and increasing the continuous usage time of the device, ultimately ensuring the energy efficiency of the device.

[0010] According to the present invention, micro-vibrations having a specific frequency of about 40 Hz are transmitted throughout the frame through a vibration motor placed inside a cylindrical frame. These micro-vibrations are optimized to induce muscle contraction, maximizing the effects of muscle strengthening and elasticity recovery upon contact with the user's body, while also having the effect of customizing the vibration mode by analyzing the vibration button usage pattern using AI.

[0011] According to the present invention, in addition to four reference LED clusters arranged at 90-degree intervals on the outer surface of a cylindrical frame, an additional LED cluster including a first LED and a second LED is arranged at the end of the cylindrical frame, thereby minimizing blind spots in the care range and ensuring structural stability of the device, which has the effect of increasing user convenience.

[0012] The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned technical problems will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below. means of solving the problem

[0013] A female body care device that identifies an operating cycle based on a user's usage pattern based on an artificial intelligence model according to one embodiment of the present invention and controls at least one LED and a vibration motor based on the operating cycle may include a main frame including a power button, a cylindrical frame coupled to one end of the main frame, a plurality of LED clusters arranged along the length direction of the outer surface of the cylindrical frame and a total of four arranged along the circumferential direction, a memory that stores at least one instruction, and a processor electrically connected to the power button, the plurality of LED clusters, and the memory. For example, the above at least one instruction may be configured such that when executed by the processor, the female body care device receives power input through the power button, inputs the user's usage pattern into the artificial intelligence model to identify an initial LED cluster among the plurality of LED clusters, controls the operating state of at least one LED included in the initial LED cluster to the ON state, identifies at least one target care area identified as having contacted the user's body among the plurality of care areas corresponding to each of the plurality of LED clusters, and controls the operating state of at least one target LED cluster corresponding to the at least one target care area among the four reference LED clusters included in the plurality of LED clusters to the ON state.

[0014] According to one embodiment, the plurality of LED clusters may each include four first LEDs and three second LEDs arranged intersecting each other at predetermined intervals along the length direction of the outer surface of the cylindrical frame.

[0015] According to one embodiment, the plurality of LED clusters may include four reference LED clusters arranged at equal intervals of 90 degrees along the circumferential direction of the outer surface of the cylindrical frame to surround the cross-section of the cylindrical frame in a circular shape, and one additional cluster comprising n first LEDs arranged at the other end opposite to the one end connected to the main frame of the cylindrical frame, and m second LEDs smaller than n.

[0016] According to one embodiment, the first LED corresponds to an LED that emits red light having a first center wavelength of 650 nm, and the second LED corresponds to an LED that emits blue light having a second center wavelength of 470 nm.

[0017] According to one embodiment, the female body care device may further include a vibration button disposed in an area adjacent to the power button and a vibration motor disposed inside the cylindrical frame. For example, the at least one instruction may be configured such that, when executed by the processor, the female body care device, upon receiving the power input, identifies an input pattern of user input to the vibration button during a predetermined time interval in the past from the time the power input was received, inputs the input pattern to the artificial intelligence model, and controls the vibration motor so that a micro-vibration having a frequency of 40 Hz is transmitted to the cylindrical frame.

[0018] The above at least one instruction may be configured such that, when executed by the processor, the female body care device analyzes the cumulative usage pattern of the past 30 days from the time of receiving the power input to identify an AI-customized operation cycle, calculates the similarity between the AI-customized operation cycle and the current time zone to predict the initial LED cluster among the plurality of LED clusters, converts the input pattern for the vibration button into time-series data and inputs it into the artificial intelligence model to determine the user-preferred vibration mode, and controls the amplitude of the 40Hz vibration frequency in a ramp-up or ramp-down manner according to the user-preferred vibration mode.

[0019] The above at least one instruction may be configured such that, when executed by the processor, the female body care device provides a usage induction notification to the user through the display device when the specific time period arrives, in response to the artificial intelligence model identifying that the frequency of use by the user in a specific time period is 3 days or more during the week based on the usage history of the past week.

[0020] When the above at least one instruction is executed by the processor, the female body care device may be configured to limit the brightness to 30% of the maximum value when controlling the operating state of at least one LED included in the initial LED cluster to the ON state.

[0021] The above at least one instruction may be configured such that, when executed by the processor, the female body care device finely adjusts the lighting ratio of the first LED and the second LED of each of the plurality of LED clusters according to the weighting parameter provided by the artificial intelligence model.

[0022] When the above at least one instruction is executed by the processor, the female body care device may be configured to control the initial LED cluster based on the first irradiation ratio of the first LED and the second irradiation ratio of the second LED using the preset user's skin tone or sensitivity and the artificial intelligence model.

[0023] The above at least one instruction may be configured such that, when executed by the processor, the female body care device monitors the temperature of the female body care device based on a heat sensing sensor placed inside the main frame, and performs a protection algorithm that automatically and gradually reduces the LED output when the monitored temperature exceeds a certain temperature.

[0024] The above at least one instruction may be configured to control the vibration motor through a ramp-up mode in which, when executed by the processor, the female body care device determines that the user's current state is a "sensitive state" based on the usage pattern, the initial 40Hz frequency is reduced to 30Hz for 5 seconds and then gradually increased.

[0025] The above at least one instruction may be configured such that, when executed by the processor, the female body care device automatically lowers the output amplitude through the vibration motor when the contact area between the user's body and the outer surface of the cylindrical frame becomes smaller than a reference area or smaller than the contact area of ​​the previous time stamp.

[0026] The above vibration motor can be fixed to the inner central axis of the cylindrical frame in a floating mount manner through an elastic rubber bushing, so that the micro-vibrations generated by the vibration motor are uniformly amplified and transmitted to the outer surface of the cylindrical frame.

[0027] According to one embodiment, the electrical wiring connected to the vibration motor is implemented in the form of a spiral coil.

[0028] The joint where the main frame and the cylindrical frame are joined includes a double sealing ring structure, and the double sealing ring consists of a first ring made of elastic rubber material inside and a second ring made of chemical-resistant silicone material outside. Effects of the invention

[0029] The effects of a female body care device and method, which identify an operating cycle based on a user's usage pattern based on an artificial intelligence model according to embodiments of the present invention and control at least one LED and a vibration motor based on the operating cycle, are described as follows.

[0030] According to the present invention, the optimal operating cycle is automatically identified by analyzing the user's accumulated usage patterns based on an artificial intelligence model. By intelligently controlling the timing and mode of operation of the LED and vibration motor to suit the different care needs and habits of each user, this maximizes user satisfaction and dramatically improves the care effect.

[0031] According to the present invention, a female body care device is disclosed in which a first LED (or red light) of 650 nm and a second LED (or blue light) of 470 nm are arranged alternately at a predetermined interval. In particular, through a structure in which four clusters are circularly surrounded by a cross-section of a cylindrical frame at 90-degree intervals, light of different wavelengths is uniformly and intensively irradiated onto all areas in contact with the user's body, thereby maximizing the synergy of tissue activation and antibacterial / soothing effects.

[0032] According to the present invention, among a plurality of LED clusters, a target care area requiring care that is in actual contact with the user's body is identified, and only the LEDs of the cluster corresponding to that area are selectively controlled to the ON state. This prevents the operation of unnecessary LEDs, thereby minimizing energy consumption and increasing the continuous usage time of the device, ultimately ensuring the energy efficiency of the device.

[0033] According to the present invention, micro-vibrations having a specific frequency of about 40 Hz are transmitted throughout the frame through a vibration motor placed inside a cylindrical frame. These micro-vibrations are optimized to induce muscle contraction, maximizing the effects of muscle strengthening and elasticity recovery upon contact with the user's body, while also having the effect of customizing the vibration mode by analyzing the vibration button usage pattern using AI.

[0034] According to the present invention, in addition to four reference LED clusters arranged at 90-degree intervals on the outer surface of a cylindrical frame, an additional LED cluster including a first LED and a second LED is arranged at the end of the cylindrical frame, thereby minimizing blind spots in the care range and ensuring structural stability of the device, which has the effect of increasing user convenience.

[0039] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

[0041] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the components of a female body care device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] According to one embodiment, the female body care device (100) may include a main frame (110), a cylindrical frame (120), an LED cluster (130), a vibration motor (140), a memory (150), and a processor (160). The configuration of the female body care device (100) illustrated in FIG. 1 is exemplary and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. For example, the female body care device (100) may further include components not illustrated in FIG. 1 (e.g., a user interface, an input device, a display device, a notification unit, a sensor unit, or at least one of any combination thereof).

[0043] According to one embodiment, the main frame (110) corresponds to a grip part that forms the main body of the female body care device (100).

[0044] For example, the main frame (110) has an ergonomically designed shape so that a user can hold the device with their hand and contact at least one area of ​​the cylindrical frame (120) with their body, and may house core control modules such as a processor (160) and memory (150), a battery, and other power supply and communication components inside.

[0045] For example, the main frame (110) may have an operating interface disposed in an area of ​​its outer surface that includes a power button (e.g., power button (212) of FIG. 2) for starting and ending the operation of the female body care device (100) and a vibration button (e.g., vibration button (214) of FIG. 2) for controlling the vibration function. In particular, the power button and the vibration button may be placed in a position where the thumb or index finger naturally touches, considering the user's ease of operation. The power button is spaced 5 cm upward from the vibration button to prevent accidental operation. The power button and / or vibration button may be implemented in the form of a touch sensor or a capacitive sensor, as well as a physical switch, to enhance water resistance.

[0046] For example, the main frame (110) may further include a display device to visually guide the user to the operating status of the female body care device (100), the remaining battery level, or operating cycle information identified by an artificial intelligence model. For example, the display device may be implemented as a small LED indicator, an OLED display, or a flashing pattern of a specific color, and may be implemented to provide intuitive feedback to the user.

[0047] For example, the material of the main frame (110) may be a medical-grade plastic or silicone material that is highly durable and harmless to the human body, taking into consideration the safety of the user. In addition, the connection part with the cylindrical frame (120) (e.g., the connection part (229) of FIG. 2) may include a sealing structure to prevent moisture penetration while ensuring a stable connection, thereby ensuring the waterproof performance and durability of the device.

[0048] For example, the main frame (110) serves as the center of operation and control of the female body care device (100), safely protects core electronic components, maximizes user grip and operation convenience, and provides a stable transmission path for power and control signals to the cylindrical frame (120).

[0049] According to one embodiment, a cylindrical frame (120) is coupled to one end of a main frame (110) and can form the shape of a core part that directly performs LED light therapy and vibration care, with a portion of its outer surface in contact with the user's body.

[0050] For example, the cylindrical frame (120) is designed in an elongated cylindrical shape to optimize the contact area with the body, and the material that comes into contact with the user's body may be made of a silicone or medical polymer material with high biocompatibility.

[0051] For example, LED clusters (130) for light therapy may be embedded or exposed to the outside of the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120). These LED clusters may have a structural feature in which a total of four reference LED clusters are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical frame (120) at 90-degree equal phase differences along the circumferential direction, thereby uniformly surrounding the cross-section of the cylindrical frame (120) in a circular manner.

[0052] For example, the cylindrical frame (120) can be implemented to house a power generating device, such as a vibration motor (140), in its internal space, and can be designed so that micro-vibrations generated by the vibration motor (140) are effectively transmitted to the user's body through the surface of the cylindrical frame (120). That is, the thickness and rigidity of the cylindrical frame (120) can be precisely adjusted to maximize the transmission efficiency for a specific frequency of vibration energy (e.g., 40 Hz).

[0053] For example, the interior of the cylindrical frame (120) may include a heat dissipation mechanism for controlling heat generation of the LED cluster (130), which can be implemented through an air flow channel utilizing the space inside the frame or by using a material with high thermal conductivity. This is essential for maintaining a stable temperature so that the user does not feel discomfort during prolonged use.

[0054] For example, the cylindrical frame (120) may include an additional LED cluster placed at the opposite end (or other end) of the connection with the main frame (110) (e.g., the other end (225) in FIG. 2). The additional LED cluster ensures uniformity of light care by minimizing light irradiation blind spots that may occur mainly in the end area, and may generally have fewer LEDs or a different density than the four standard LED clusters.

[0055] According to one embodiment, the LED cluster (130) may correspond to a module for integrating a plurality of LEDs to intensively irradiate light energy to a specific area.

[0056] For example, the LED cluster (130) may be configured to surround the entire cross-section of the frame in a circular manner by being arranged longitudinally along the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120) and having four reference LED clusters with an equal phase difference of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction (e.g., the first LED cluster (221), the second LED cluster (222), the third LED cluster (not shown), and the fourth LED cluster (not shown) of FIG. 2).

[0057] For example, each LED cluster (130) may include four first LEDs and three second LEDs, which may be arranged in an intersecting order (e.g., in the order of first LED, second LED, first LED, second LED) at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction. This intersecting arrangement allows light of different wavelengths to be uniformly mixed and irradiated within a narrow area, thereby maximizing complex phototherapy effects (e.g., tissue activation effect and antibacterial / soothing effect) simultaneously.

[0058] For example, the first LED emits red light having a first central wavelength of 650 nm, which promotes cellular energy metabolism and induces collagen production, thereby contributing to skin elasticity and muscle recovery.

[0059] For example, the second LED emits blue light with a second central wavelength of 470nm, which maintains cleanliness in the body care area through antibacterial action and provides a skin soothing effect.

[0060] For example, an additional LED cluster placed at the other end of the cylindrical frame (120) may also include a first LED and a second LED, but unlike the reference LED cluster, the number of first LEDs (or n) may be greater than the number of second LEDs (or m). This allows for flexible adjustment of the light source configuration to suit the structural characteristics of the device end and the care purpose of the area.

[0061] For example, the processor (160) controls the operating state of the LEDs included in this LED cluster (130) according to the identification result of the artificial intelligence model, and can selectively control only the LED cluster corresponding to the target care area that comes into contact with the user's body to the ON state. This is an important technical feature for ensuring safety by increasing energy efficiency and preventing unnecessary light exposure.

[0062] According to one embodiment, the vibration motor (140) may be positioned in the internal space of the cylindrical frame (120) and may correspond to a power device that generates physical vibrations in the entire female body care device (100) (or the cylindrical frame (120)).

[0063] For example, the vibration motor (140) can be implemented in the form of a small eccentric rotating mass (ERM) motor or a linear resonant actuator (LRA), and a motor with stable frequency control and high durability can be used.

[0064] For example, the vibration motor (140) is driven under the control of the processor (160) and can be precisely set to deliver micro-vibrations having a frequency of about 40 Hz throughout the cylindrical frame (120). The 40 Hz frequency band acts on the muscle tissue of the human body to induce micro-contraction, which has technical significance in providing physical stimulation optimized for muscle strengthening and elasticity recovery.

[0065] For example, the operation of the vibration motor (140) can be customized based on the user input pattern of the vibration button placed on the main frame (110) and the analysis results of the artificial intelligence model. For example, the processor (160) can identify the user's past vibration button input patterns (e.g., input frequency, input intensity) and input them into the artificial intelligence model to determine the vibration intensity, vibration period, and vibration pattern most suitable for the user and drive the vibration motor (140).

[0066] For example, the vibration motor (140) may be positioned along the central axis of the cylindrical frame (120) or may be rigidly installed via a fixing device (not shown) at a specific location inside the cylindrical frame (120) to increase vibration transmission efficiency. In order for the vibration energy of the vibration motor (140) to be uniformly transmitted to the user's body without loss through the surface of the frame, the contact and connection structure between the vibration motor (140) and the frame is designed to minimize vibration damping.

[0067] As a result, the vibration motor (140) goes beyond simply providing a massage function to relax muscles and achieves therapeutic purposes such as muscle strengthening and elasticity recovery using a specific frequency of 40Hz, and acts as a key actuator that maximizes user convenience and therapeutic effects through AI-based customized control.

[0068] According to one embodiment, the memory (150) may store instructions or data. For example, the memory (150) may store one or more instructions that cause the female body care device (100) to perform various operations when executed by the processor (160).

[0069] For example, the memory (150) may be implemented as a single chipset with the processor (160). The processor (160) may include at least one of a communication processor or a modem.

[0070] For example, the memory (150) can store various information related to the female body care device (100). For example, the memory (150) can store information regarding the operation history of the processor (160). For example, the memory (150) can store input data acquired by the female body care device (100), output data output by the female body care device (100), data acquired from an external device (e.g., user terminal (210) and / or external server (220)), etc.

[0071] For example, the memory (150) may include multiple storage devices of different types. For example, the memory (150) may include volatile and / or non-volatile storage media. For example, the memory (150) may include at least one of RAM (random-access memory), ROM (read only memory), eMMC (Embedded Multi-Media Card), or any combination thereof.

[0072] The steps of the method or algorithm described in connection with the embodiments disclosed in this specification may be directly implemented in hardware, software modules, or a combination of both, executed by the processor (160). The software modules may reside in a storage medium (i.e., memory (150)) such as RAM memory, flash memory, ROM memory, EPROM memory, EEPROM memory, registers, a hard disk, a removable disk, or a CD-ROM.

[0073] For example, the memory (150) is coupled to the processor (160), and the processor (160) can read information from the storage medium and write information to the storage medium. Alternatively, the memory (150) may be integrated with the processor (160). The memory (150) and the processor (160) may reside within an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The ASIC may reside within the female body care device (100). Alternatively, the memory (150) and the processor (160) may reside as separate components within the female body care device (100).

[0074] According to one embodiment, the processor (160) can be operatively connected to a power button, a plurality of LED clusters, and a memory (150).

[0075] According to one embodiment, the female body care device (100) may further include a sensor unit (not shown), a communication interface (not shown), and a display device (not shown).

[0076] The communication interface may support the establishment of a direct (e.g., wired) communication channel or a wireless communication channel between the female body care device (100) and an external device (e.g., user terminal, external server and database, etc.), and the performance of communication through the established communication channel. The communication interface may include one or more communication processors that operate independently of the processor (160) (e.g., application processor) and support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication interface may include a wireless communication module (e.g., cellular communication module, short-range wireless communication module, or GNSS (global navigation satellite system) communication module) or a wired communication module (e.g., LAN (local area network) communication module, or power line communication module). The corresponding communication module among these communication modules can communicate with an external female body care device (100) via a first network (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, WiFi (wireless fidelity) direct, or IrDA (infrared data association)) or a second network (e.g., a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules may be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module can identify or authenticate the female body care device (100) within a communication network such as the first network or the second network using subscriber information (e.g., International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI)) stored in a subscriber identification module.

[0077] According to one embodiment, the display device (140) may include at least one output device that provides various information and a user interface to the user of the female body care device (100).

[0078] For example, the display device (140) may include a display device and / or an audio output device, etc.

[0079] For example, the display device (140) can provide the administrator with various types of user interfaces described in the present disclosure visually and / or audibly.

[0080] The components of the female body care device (100) illustrated in FIG. 1 are exemplary, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0081] At least some of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented as artificial intelligence (AI) through the processor (160) and memory (150) of the female body care device (100). The processor (160) may be composed of one or more processors, and the one or more processors may be general-purpose processors such as a CPU, AP, DSP (digital signal processor), etc., graphics-dedicated processors such as a GPU, VPU (vision processing unit), or artificial intelligence-dedicated processors such as an NPU. The one or more processors may be controlled to process input data according to predefined operation rules or artificial intelligence models stored in the memory (150). Alternatively, if the one or more processors are artificial intelligence-dedicated processors, the artificial intelligence-dedicated processors may be designed with a hardware structure specialized for processing a specific artificial intelligence model.

[0082] The predefined operation rules or artificial intelligence models are characterized by being created through learning. Here, being created through learning means that a predefined operation rules or artificial intelligence models are created by a basic artificial intelligence model being trained using multiple learning data by a learning algorithm to perform a desired characteristic (or purpose). Such learning may be performed within the female body care device (100) itself, where the artificial intelligence according to the present disclosure is performed, or through a separate server and / or system. Examples of learning algorithms include supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, or reinforcement learning, but are not limited to the examples described above.

[0083] An artificial intelligence model may be composed of multiple neural network layers. Each of the multiple neural network layers has multiple weight values ​​and can perform neural network operations through operations between the results of previous layers and the multiple weights. The multiple weights possessed by the multiple neural network layers can be optimized based on the learning results of the artificial intelligence model. For example, the multiple weights can be updated so that the loss value or cost value obtained from the artificial intelligence model during the learning process is reduced or minimized. Artificial neural networks may include, but are not limited to, deep neural networks (DNN), convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), restricted Boltzmann machines (RBM), deep belief networks (DBN), bidirectional recurrent deep neural networks (BRDNN), or deep Q-networks.

[0084] The artificial intelligence model can be configured to receive accumulated usage pattern data collected from a user and identify an optimal operating cycle according to instructions executed by the processor (160) of the female body care device (100).

[0085] The artificial intelligence model is a learned neural network executed by the processor (160) of the female body care device (100), and receives the user's device usage history data (or usage patterns and / or input patterns) as input. The usage history data includes at least one of the user's power input time, usage frequency, usage duration, LED intensity setting value, number of vibration button inputs, and input duration, and the processor (160) provides this data to the artificial intelligence model in the form of a time series. Thus, the artificial intelligence model can extract a statistical feature vector reflecting the user's habits, preferences, and physical responses.

[0086] For example, the artificial intelligence model is trained to output (i) the next operating cycle, (ii) the activation target of the initial LED cluster, and (iii) control parameters of the vibration motor (e.g., amplitude, frequency, duration) based on input usage history data.

[0087] For example, parameters output through the artificial intelligence model can be transmitted to the processor (160) and directly used to generate driving signals for the LED cluster (130) and the vibration motor (140).

[0088] For example, the artificial intelligence model can predict the operation cycle to 22:00 and control the second LED cluster to initialize at that time by confirming that the rate of user use of the device at 22:00 ± 15 minutes in the data from the past 30 days is 70% or more.

[0089] For example, the artificial intelligence model may be implemented as at least one of a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network or a CNN-RNN hybrid model, and may be updated using reinforcement learning methods through user-specific customized data. Additionally, the learning process may be performed through a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) inside the female body care device (100) or through an external server, and the model parameters (weight parameters) generated as a result of learning may be stored in memory (150) and periodically updated and executed by a processor (160).

[0090] Through this, the AI ​​model can adapt to the user's latest usage patterns to continuously improve the personalization accuracy of LED and vibration control.

[0091] For example, an artificial intelligence model can analyze the user's device usage frequency, total usage time, power input time periods, and past vibration button input intensity and patterns to predict the most effective LED operation time, illumination time, and vibration mode (e.g., vibration intensity, vibration period, etc.) at the current time.

[0092] For example, if an artificial intelligence model analyzes a user's monthly / weekly usage pattern history and the user tends to use the device at a specific interval (e.g., three times a week, at 10 PM), it can predict the next time of operation based on this pattern, identify the most suitable initial LED cluster for that time, and prioritize a guide mode to induce the user to use the device.

[0093] Through this, the system intelligently provides an operating cycle customized to the user's lifestyle and care needs, supporting the user to consistently manage the device without forgetting to use it, and as a result, can dramatically improve the sustainability and efficiency of therapeutic effects such as muscle strengthening and elasticity recovery.

[0094] The artificial intelligence model can be configured to optimize the control parameters (e.g., intensity and pattern) of the vibration motor (140) by comprehensively analyzing the user's past input patterns and current body care goals for the vibration button (214).

[0095] For example, if the preference for strong vibration was high in past input patterns but the current operating cycle identification result is determined to be a "sensitive stage," the artificial intelligence model can maintain the basic 40Hz fine vibration frequency but temporarily lower the vibration intensity, or prioritize driving a ramp-up pattern in which the vibration intensity gradually increases.

[0096] For example, if the processor (160) analyzes vibration button usage data from a predetermined period in the past from the time of receiving power input and identifies it as “irregular input” and “low intensity preference,” the artificial intelligence model may set the duration of the 40Hz micro-vibration short (e.g., 1 minute) and suggest an intermittent pattern including a rest period in between.

[0097] This encourages the user to start care without burden and prevents excessive stimulation of the muscles. Through this, the vibration motor (140) can safely and efficiently achieve a care effect specialized for muscle tissue by supplementing the user's subjective operation pattern through objective AI analysis and delivering 40Hz micro-vibrations at a level most suitable for the user's physical condition.

[0098] The artificial intelligence model can be configured to optimize the efficiency and energy management of phototherapy by being involved in identifying and controlling the target care area corresponding to the LED cluster (130).

[0099] For example, when a sensor unit (not shown) embedded in a female body care device (100) receives data through a processor (160) that detects whether there is contact with the body and pressure distribution, etc., an artificial intelligence model can analyze this data to accurately identify at least one target care area among a plurality of care areas where actual contact is confirmed.

[0100] For example, among the four reference LED clusters (221, 222, etc.) arranged at 90-degree intervals on the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120), if body contact is detected in only two clusters in a specific direction, the artificial intelligence model identifies these two clusters as the first target LED clusters and outputs a control command to the processor (160) to keep the operation of the remaining two clusters in an OFF state.

[0101] Through this, energy waste caused by unnecessarily operating all LEDs simultaneously is minimized, and heterogeneous wavelength light of red and blue is intensively irradiated only to the care area actually in contact with the body, thereby maximizing the synergy of tissue activation and antibacterial / soothing effects while increasing the continuous usage time of the device.

[0103] FIG. 2 is a drawing for structural explanation of a female body care device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0104] Referring to reference numbers 201 and 202, according to one embodiment, a female body care device (100) may include a main frame (110) having a power button (212) and a vibration button (214) disposed on an outer surface, a cylindrical frame (120) having four reference LED clusters disposed on an outer surface and an additional LED cluster disposed on a bottom surface, and a coupling part (229) to which the main frame (110) and the cylindrical frame (120) are combined.

[0105] The four reference LED clusters may include a first reference LED cluster, a second reference LED cluster, a third reference LED cluster, and a fourth reference LED cluster.

[0106] Referring to reference number 201, when viewing the female body care device (100) from the front, a first reference LED cluster may be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical frame (120) on a reference axis connecting the power button (212) and the vibration button (214) on the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120).

[0107] Referring to reference number 202, a plurality of LED clusters may include four reference LED clusters arranged at equal intervals of 90 degrees along the circumferential direction of the outer surface of a cylindrical frame to surround the cross-section of the cylindrical frame in a circular shape.

[0108] For example, when the female body care device (100) is viewed from the side, the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120) may include a second reference LED cluster arranged with a phase difference of 90 degrees clockwise along the circumferential direction of the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120) from the first reference LED cluster.

[0109] Although not illustrated, the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120) may further include a third reference LED cluster arranged at a 90-degree clockwise phase difference from the second reference LED cluster along the circumferential direction of the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120), and a fourth reference LED cluster arranged at a 90-degree clockwise phase difference from the second reference LED cluster along the circumferential direction of the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120).

[0110] That is, the first reference LED cluster can be positioned to face the third reference LED cluster, and the second reference LED cluster can be positioned to face the fourth reference LED cluster.

[0111] Each of the plurality of LED clusters may include four first LEDs and three second LEDs arranged to intersect each other at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120) (or, a direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction and in which the cylindrical frame (120) extends from the connecting part (229). That is, the LED clusters may have 650nm red light (or first LEDs) and 470nm blue light (or second LEDs) arranged to intersect at predetermined intervals, so that a complex synergy of tissue activation and antibacterial / soothing effects may occur simultaneously in one area.

[0112] Referring to reference numbers 201 and 202, the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120) may be divided into a first care area (221) corresponding to a first reference LED cluster, a second care area (222) corresponding to a second reference LED cluster, a third care area (not shown) corresponding to a third reference LED cluster, and a fourth care area (not shown) corresponding to a fourth reference LED cluster.

[0113] For example, the first care area (221) and the second care area (222) can be understood as areas where light is irradiated by each of a plurality of reference LED clusters (e.g., first, second, third, and fourth reference LED clusters) arranged at equal intervals of 90 degrees along the outer circumference direction of the cylindrical frame (120).

[0114] For example, the processor (160) can increase energy efficiency and prevent unnecessary light exposure by identifying the area (or target care area) that is actually in contact with the user's body and selectively controlling only the LED cluster corresponding to that area to be ON.

[0115] For example, an additional care area (225) corresponding to an additional LED cluster may correspond to an area where light is irradiated by an additional LED cluster placed at the other end opposite to the end connected to the main frame (110) (or the end in contact with the coupling part (229)).

[0116] For example, the additional LED cluster ensures uniformity of light care by minimizing light irradiation blind spots that may occur in the end area, and in particular, unlike the standard LED cluster, the additional LED cluster can be flexibly adjusted to a configuration where the number of red lights (or, first LEDs) (or, n) is greater than the number of blue lights (or, second LEDs) (or, m).

[0117] The power button (212) is an operating interface for starting and ending the operation of the female body care device (100), and when power input is received, the processor (160) can act as an initial trigger to input the usage pattern into an artificial intelligence model to identify the operation cycle.

[0118] The vibration button (214) controls the operation of the vibration motor (140) placed inside the cylindrical frame (120), and the user input pattern of the button (e.g., input frequency, intensity, etc.) can be used to determine the customized control (or vibration mode) of the micro-vibration through artificial intelligence model analysis.

[0119] The two buttons are positioned on the outside of the main frame (110) for user convenience, and in particular, the power button (212) is positioned 5 cm apart from the vibration button (214) to prevent accidental operation.

[0120] The joint portion (229) between the main frame (110) and the cylindrical frame (120) can be implemented as a structure that stably connects one end of the main frame (110) and the cylindrical frame (120).

[0121] For example, the coupling portion (229) can provide a passage through which power and control signals are reliably transmitted from the main frame (110) housing the core control module to the LED cluster (130) and the vibration motor (140).

[0122] For example, the joint (221) includes a sealing structure that prevents moisture penetration, thereby ensuring the waterproof performance and durability of the device and improving user safety.

[0124] FIG. 3 is an exemplary graph showing experimental effects that can be achieved through a female body care device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0125] Graph 301 shown in Fig. 3 represents the effect of phototherapy using red light according to the first central wavelength (e.g., 650 nm) used in the present invention on promoting collagen / elastin synthesis, improving skin elasticity, and improving wrinkles as a percentage (%).

[0126] Graph 302 shown in Fig. 3 indicates the extent to which blue light according to the second central wavelength (e.g., 470 nm) used in the present invention contributes to the recovery speed of wound size through antibacterial and skin soothing effects.

[0127] As described above, the first LED according to the present invention shows relatively high effects such as collagen / elastin synthesis, skin elasticity enhancement, and wrinkle improvement, and the second LED according to the present invention can be confirmed to have a relatively higher contribution to the speed of wound size recovery compared to a control LED of a different wavelength band.

[0128] FIG. 4 is an exemplary graph showing experimental effects that can be achieved through a female body care device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0129] Graph 401 shown in Fig. 4 is a graph showing the effect of 40Hz micro-vibrations generated by a vibration motor (140) embedded in a female body care device (100) on muscle activation of the human body as a normalized percentage compared to a control.

[0130] As described, 40Hz vibration induces muscle contraction, increasing muscle activity by up to about 150%, suggesting that it provides physical stimulation optimized for muscle strengthening and elasticity recovery.

[0132] FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the operation of a female body care method according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0133] According to one embodiment, a female body care device (e.g., the female body care device (100) of FIG. 1) can perform the operations disclosed in FIG. 5. For example, at least some of the components included in the female body care device (e.g., the LED cluster (130), vibration motor (140), memory (150), processor (160), sensor unit, communication interface, and display device of FIG. 1) may be configured to perform the operations of FIG. 5.

[0134] In the following embodiments, the operations of S510 to S550 may be performed sequentially, but are not necessarily performed sequentially. For example, the order of each operation may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel. Additionally, content corresponding to or overlapping with the above description in relation to FIG. 5 may be briefly explained or omitted.

[0135] According to one embodiment, when the processor (160) receives power input through the power button, it inputs the user's usage pattern into an artificial intelligence model to identify the initial LED cluster among a plurality of LED clusters (S510).

[0136] For example, "usage pattern" refers to a statistical feature set of user-specific behavioral history generated by the processor (160) of the female body care device (100) analyzing log data stored in memory (150). The usage pattern may include a usage time pattern, a usage frequency pattern, an LED intensity setting pattern, and a vibration function linkage pattern.

[0137] As one example, the usage time pattern may include the distribution of times when the user presses the power button (212) (e.g., 22:00 ±30 minutes every day).

[0138] As an example, the usage frequency pattern may include the number of times the user has used the last four weeks (e.g., three times a week), the number of consecutive days of use (e.g., a pattern of three consecutive days followed by one day of rest), and the number of times used by day of the week (e.g., four times on Friday, one time on Monday, etc.).

[0139] As an example, the usage area pattern may include a primary contact care area identified through body contact sensor data (e.g., a second and third care area corresponding to the second and third reference LED clusters).

[0140] As an example, the LED intensity setting pattern may include a light intensity ratio preferred by the user (e.g., red LED output 60%, blue LED output 40%).

[0141] As an example, the vibration function linkage pattern may include a delay time or vibration duration from the LED lighting to the vibration motor operation.

[0142] This data is stored on a session basis, and weights can be updated based on cumulative patterns over the last 30 days.

[0143] As an example, if a user has turned on the power within 15 minutes after 22:00 on average over the past 4 weeks and the third care area corresponding to the third LED cluster has been activated for an average of 10 minutes, the processor (160) can define these time zone and area data as a usage pattern.

[0144] After the processor (160) identifies an initial LED cluster based on the above usage pattern, it can operate the female body care device (100) based on an operation mode corresponding to the usage pattern (e.g., a personalized AI operation mode).

[0145] For example, when the processor (160) detects a power signal input by the user through the power button (212), it can call and execute an artificial intelligence model stored in memory (150).

[0146] For example, the processor (120) can input time-series data of the user's past usage data (e.g., average usage time per session of the device, usage interval, frequency of setting by LED intensity, number of vibration button inputs, etc.) into the artificial intelligence model.

[0147] For example, the processor (160) can provide time series data to the input layer of an artificial intelligence model to normalize the user's behavior pattern into a feature vector and extract the cycle of the most similar past operation session in the pattern identification step.

[0148] That is, the processor (160) can retrieve the usage pattern and pass it to the input layer of an artificial intelligence model (e.g., LSTM or CNN-RNN hybrid model), and the artificial intelligence model can calculate the similarity between the current time and the user's usage pattern by applying 'usage time', 'recent contact care area', and 'LED preference ratio' as weights.

[0149] As an example, if the current time is 22:10 and the second LED cluster and the third LED cluster were mainly activated between 22:00 ± 15 minutes based on usage patterns, the artificial intelligence model can assign a similarity score of 0.92 to the second cluster and identify it as the 'initial LED cluster'.

[0150] Based on this result, the processor can simultaneously light up two red LEDs and two blue LEDs among the LEDs of the second LED cluster and the third LED cluster, respectively, at a brightness of 30%. Then, when contact is confirmed according to sensor data, the processor (160) can increase the brightness to 60% to start a regular session.

[0151] Through this, the system can predict which body part or time period the user primarily uses the device and identify the initial LED cluster best suited to that pattern.

[0152] As an example, the artificial intelligence model can identify the first LED cluster as the initial LED cluster by confirming that the cluster having the highest time ratio among the activation time ratios of each of the four LED clusters within the last five operation sessions corresponds to the first LED cluster.

[0153] As an example, the artificial intelligence model may identify that the frequency of use by the user during a specific time period (e.g., after 22:00) is three or more days a week, and provide the user with a usage prompt notification through a display device when the specific time period arrives.

[0154] According to one embodiment, the processor (160) controls the operating state of at least one LED included in the initial LED cluster to ON, and then identifies at least one target care area among the plurality of care areas that is identified as being in contact with the user's body (S520).

[0155] For example, the processor (160) can initiate initial light therapy by sequentially applying power from the first LED (or, red light) and the second LED (or, blue light) included in the initial LED cluster to the first LED and the second LED.

[0156] For example, the processor (160) can detect whether there is physical contact with the user based on a sensor (e.g., a pressure sensor and / or a proximity sensor) embedded in the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120) immediately after all LEDs included in the initial LED cluster are lit.

[0157] For example, the processor (160) can identify a target care area that is determined to be in contact with the user's body among a plurality of care areas (e.g., first to fourth reference care areas) based on pressure distribution data collected from a sensor.

[0158] For example, pressure values ​​in the first and second care areas are at a reference value (e.g., 0.15 N / cm²) 2 If it exceeds ), the processor (160) can determine the first and second care areas as target care areas.

[0159] Additionally, the processor (160) is designed to limit the brightness of the LED to 30% of the maximum value when initially lighting the initial LED cluster (or when controlling the operating state of at least one LED included in the initial LED cluster to the ON state) so as to stably measure the user's skin reaction or contact sensitivity.

[0160] This stage is not merely the initiation of light irradiation, but an autonomous initialization process that independently identifies the care area based on real-time body contact data, serving as a core foundation for enhancing the accuracy of automatic control in the future.

[0161] According to one embodiment, the processor (160) can control the operating state of at least one target LED cluster corresponding to at least one target care area among four reference LED clusters included in a plurality of LED clusters to an ON state (S530).

[0162] For example, the processor (160) can activate only the LEDs within the LED cluster corresponding to the target care area.

[0163] For example, among the four care areas corresponding to each of the four reference LED clusters, if it is identified that the care area in contact with the user's body corresponds to the first and second care areas, the processor (160) can control the LEDs of the first reference LED cluster and the second reference LED cluster corresponding to the first and second care areas, respectively, by supplying current only to them to the ON state.

[0164] On the other hand, the processor (160) can prevent unnecessary energy consumption by keeping the LEDs of the third reference LED cluster and the fourth reference LED cluster, which correspond to the non-contact areas (e.g., third and fourth care areas), in an OFF state without supplying current.

[0165] In this process, the processor (160) can fine-tune the lighting ratio of the first LED and the second LED of each LED cluster according to weight parameters provided by the artificial intelligence model.

[0166] For example, if an artificial intelligence model recommends a ratio of 60% for red light (650nm) and 40% for blue light (470nm) based on a preset user's skin tone or sensitivity, the processor (160) can implement the corresponding light ratio based on pulse width modulation (PWM).

[0167] Additionally, the processor (160) monitors the temperature of the female body care device (100) based on a heat sensing sensor placed inside the main frame (110), and can perform a protection algorithm that automatically and gradually reduces the LED output when the monitored temperature exceeds a certain temperature (e.g., 43°C).

[0168] Consequently, this step provides a technical effect that maximizes the efficiency of tissue activation and antibacterial effects and increases the continuous usage time of the female body care device (100) by concentrating light energy only on the area actually in contact with the user's body.

[0169] According to one embodiment, the processor (160) can identify the input pattern of user input for the vibration button during a predetermined time interval in the past from the time when the power input is received (S540).

[0170] For example, the processor (160) can collect and analyze input patterns for the user's vibration button (214).

[0171] For example, input pattern data consists of time series information such as input time, input duration, number of consecutive inputs, and input interval, which can be stored sequentially in memory (150).

[0172] The "input pattern for a vibration button" according to the present disclosure refers to quantitative sequence data of an input action recorded when a user operates a vibration button (214). A processor (160) may store an input pattern along with a timestamp for each input event through the vibration button. The input pattern may include an input time, an input duration, a continuous input interval, an input intensity, the number of inputs, etc.

[0173] As an example, the input time stamp can refer to the absolute time when the vibration button was pressed.

[0174] As an example, the input duration may refer to the time the vibration button is pressed (e.g., 2.3 s, 0.8 s, etc.).

[0175] As an example, the consecutive input interval can mean the interval from the previous input (e.g., 1.2 s).

[0176] As an example, the input level may refer to a pressing force value (e.g., 0.6 N) measured by a pressure sensor or a capacitance sensor.

[0177] As an example, the input frequency may refer to the total number of button inputs (e.g., 5 times) within a single action session.

[0178] For example, if a user presses the vibration button for 2.5 seconds once and then presses it briefly three times at 1.0 second intervals within a single action session, the input pattern can be stored as a sequence of [2.5 s | 1.0 s | 0.8 s | 0.7 s].

[0179] These patterns can be used as input vectors for an artificial intelligence model to learn the user's "vibration preference type."

[0180] For example, the processor (160) can input these data into an artificial intelligence model to identify the user's vibration preference tendencies (e.g., strong vibration preference type, soft rhythm type, intermittent massage type, etc.).

[0181] For example, if a user has held down an input button for 2 seconds or more on 8 or more of the past 10 occasions, the AI ​​model can classify the user as a “high-intensity preference type.”

[0182] For example, the processor (160) may compare actual vibration response data obtained from the feedback sensor of the vibration motor (214) to correct the error between the perceived vibration intensity felt by the user and the actual output.

[0183] For example, the processor (160) can generate a vibration control profile optimized for the user's current condition (e.g., sensitive menstrual cycle, accumulated fatigue, etc.) based on this analysis result.

[0184] For example, if the user's current state is determined to be "sensitive state," the processor may apply a ramp-up mode that relaxes the initial 40Hz frequency to 30Hz for 5 seconds and then gradually increases it.

[0185] According to one embodiment, the processor (160) can control the vibration motor by inputting an input pattern into an artificial intelligence model so that a fine vibration having a frequency of 40 Hz is transmitted to the cylindrical frame (S550).

[0186] For example, the processor (160) can apply a driving signal to a vibration motor (140) embedded inside a cylindrical frame (120) based on a vibration control profile generated in operation S540.

[0187] For example, the vibration motor is implemented as a linear resonant actuator (LRA) type, which can induce fine contractions in human muscle tissue at a resonant frequency of 40 Hz. The fine vibrations are transmitted uniformly across the entire outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120), and experimental results have been confirmed that the muscle activity of the body part in contact with the female body care device (100) increases by up to about 150%.

[0188] For example, the AI ​​model can adjust vibration intensity in real time by considering the user's body contact area and pressure data.

[0189] For example, if the contact area between the user's body and the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120) is smaller than the reference area and / or smaller than the contact area of ​​the previous time stamp, the processor (160) can automatically lower the output amplitude to maintain the same tactile stimulation.

[0190] This process operates in a combined form of a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) based control loop and an AI correction signal, and can automatically reduce vibration intensity by 10 to 20% when user fatigue accumulation or sensitivity is detected.

[0191] Specifically, the processor (160) can input an input pattern into an artificial intelligence model to generate a vibration profile of the session. The artificial intelligence model can determine the vibration frequency (f), amplitude (A), and duration (T) based on the input duration and input interval values.

[0192] As an example, if the average input duration is 2.0 s or more, the processor (160) determines the vibration profile as “strong stimulus preference” and can control the vibration motor according to the operating parameters of “A = 1.2 g, f = 42 Hz, T = 120 s”.

[0193] As an example, if the average input duration is 1.0 s or more and less than 2.0 s, the processor (160) determines the vibration profile as "intermediate stimulation" and can control the vibration motor according to the operating parameters of "A = 1.0 g, f = 40 Hz, T = 90 s".

[0194] As an example, if the average input duration is less than 1.0 s, the processor (160) can determine the vibration profile as a “sensitive stage” and control the vibration motor according to the operating parameters of “A = 0.8 g, f = 38 Hz, T = 60 s”.

[0195] For example, if a user presses the vibration button for a relatively long time of 2.3 seconds during the previous operation session and then presses it three times briefly at intervals of 1.0 seconds, the average duration is measured as 1.2 seconds and the average interval as 1.0 second. The artificial intelligence model determines this as an "intermediate stimulus" and can drive the vibration motor for 90 seconds at a frequency of 40 Hz and an amplitude of 1.0 g.

[0196] Additionally, the processor (160) monitors the temperature and current feedback of the vibration motor in real time and may simultaneously perform a protection loop that automatically reduces the amplitude to 0.7 g when the temperature of the vibration motor exceeds 45 ℃.

[0197] As a result, since the user's input pattern is detected in real time and the motor is controlled with a frequency and amplitude suitable for it, stable 40 Hz micro-vibrations can be transmitted without the risk of vibration intensity imbalance or fatigue accumulation.

[0199] According to one embodiment, the at least one instruction may be configured such that, when executed by the processor, the female body care device analyzes the cumulative usage pattern of the past 30 days from the time of receiving the power input to identify an AI-customized operation cycle, calculates the similarity between the AI-customized operation cycle and the current time zone to predict the initial LED cluster among the plurality of LED clusters, converts the input pattern for the vibration button into time series data and inputs it into the artificial intelligence model to determine the user-preferred vibration mode, and controls the amplitude of the 40Hz vibration frequency in a ramp-up or ramp-down manner according to the user-preferred vibration mode.

[0200] For example, the processor (160) can predict an initial LED cluster based on the user's accumulated usage time and preferred care area (e.g., second and third care areas) and pre-light it at 30% brightness.

[0201] Additionally, the processor (160) can analyze the number of times the user presses the vibration button and the interval (e.g., 3 times, 0.8 s interval) per operation session to identify the user's preferred vibration mode as "soft rhythmic" and, accordingly, perform ramp-up control to gradually increase the amplitude of the 40 Hz fine vibration from 0.5 g to 1.0 g** over 5 seconds.

[0202] As one example, the artificial intelligence model may identify that the average input duration of the vibration button during the user's past 10 action sessions is 2.5s, classify the vibration mode of the session as "high intensity preferred", and apply a customized vibration profile that drives the vibration motor (140) for 120s at a frequency of 42Hz and a maximum amplitude of 1.2g.

[0203] Through this, the artificial intelligence model goes beyond simply providing an optimal frequency of 40Hz for muscle activation; by intelligently customizing the intensity of light irradiation clusters and vibrations based on the user's individual usage habits and predicted physical responses, it maximizes the effects of muscle contraction and elasticity recovery while preventing unnecessary excessive stimulation, thereby dramatically improving safety and efficiency.

[0205] According to one embodiment, when the at least one instruction is executed by the processor, the female body care device may be configured to provide a usage induction notification to the user through the display device when the specific time period arrives, in response to the artificial intelligence model identifying that the frequency of use by the user in a specific time period is 3 days or more during the week based on the usage history of the past week.

[0207] According to one embodiment, the at least one instruction may be configured to limit the brightness to 30% of the maximum value when the female body care device controls the operating state of at least one LED included in the initial LED cluster to the ON state when executed by the processor.

[0209] According to one embodiment, the at least one instruction may be configured such that, when executed by the processor, the female body care device finely adjusts the lighting ratio of the first LED and the second LED of each of the plurality of LED clusters according to weight parameters provided by the artificial intelligence model.

[0211] According to one embodiment, when the at least one instruction is executed by the processor, the female body care device may be configured to control the initial LED cluster based on the first irradiation ratio of the first LED and the second irradiation ratio of the second LED using the preset user's skin tone or sensitivity and the artificial intelligence model.

[0213] According to one embodiment, the at least one instruction may be configured such that, when executed by the processor, the female body care device monitors the temperature of the female body care device based on a heat sensing sensor placed inside the main frame, and performs a protection algorithm that automatically and gradually reduces the LED output when the monitored temperature exceeds a certain temperature.

[0215] According to one embodiment, the at least one instruction may be configured to control the vibration motor through a ramp-up mode in which, when executed by the processor, the female body care device determines that the user's current state is "sensitive state" based on the usage pattern, the initial 40Hz frequency is reduced to 30Hz for 5 seconds and then gradually increased.

[0217] According to one embodiment, the at least one instruction may be configured such that, when executed by the processor, the female body care device automatically lowers the output amplitude through the vibration motor when the contact area between the user's body and the outer surface of the cylindrical frame becomes smaller than a reference area or smaller than the contact area of ​​the previous time stamp.

[0219] According to one embodiment, the vibration motor may be fixed to the inner central axis of the cylindrical frame in a floating mount manner through an elastic rubber bushing, so that the micro-vibrations generated by the vibration motor are uniformly amplified and transmitted to the outer surface of the cylindrical frame.

[0221] According to one embodiment, the electrical wiring connected to the vibration motor can be processed in the form of a spiral coil.

[0222] For example, the elastic rubber bushing may be selected from a material having a vibration transmission rate of 1.5 or more in a 40Hz frequency band and a vibration transmission rate of 0.8 or less in a low frequency band of 15Hz or less and a high frequency band of 60Hz or more, and configured to selectively amplify only the therapeutic frequency of 40Hz micro-vibration.

[0223] As an example, the floating mount structure allows a clearance of 0.5 mm from the center axis so that the vibration energy of the vibration motor (140) is not biased to one side, thereby ensuring that 40 Hz micro-vibrations of uniform amplitude are transmitted across the entire area of ​​four reference LED clusters on the outer surface of the cylindrical frame (120).

[0224] Through this, the present invention utilizes the fixed structure of the vibration motor as a filter optimized for a specific frequency (e.g., 40Hz) to maximize the therapeutic effect of the muscle-strengthening frequency and improves the durability of the wiring structure, thereby having a structural effect that ensures long-term stable operation of the device.

[0226] According to one embodiment, the joint where the main frame and the cylindrical frame are joined includes a double sealing ring structure, and the double sealing ring may be composed of a first ring made of an internal elastic rubber material and a second ring made of an external chemical-resistant silicone material.

[0227] For example, the first ring can be designed to maintain waterproof performance by absorbing minute movements between frames caused by the driving of the vibration motor (140).

[0228] For example, a fine uneven pattern that is not distinguishable by the naked eye is formed on the surface of the joint part (229), and the first ring and the second ring are physically engaged with this uneven pattern by pressure when the frame is joined, thereby having a pressure-interlocking sealing structure that maximizes the sealing effect.

[0229] As an example, the processor (160) is configured to allow the operation of the vibration motor (140) and LED cluster (130) only after confirming that the connection of the frame is in a perfect state through a contact sensor built into the connection part (229) upon power input, thereby performing a structural safety inspection function to prevent the use of the device and damage to internal parts in an incomplete connection state.

[0230] Through this, the present invention secures the highest grade of waterproof / dustproof performance of the device through a sealed joint having a dual material and structure, thereby minimizing restrictions on the usage environment, and structurally guarantees the durability of the device and user safety by controlling operation based on physical verification of the joint state.

[0232] The above description is merely an illustrative explanation of the technical concept of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains will be able to make various modifications and variations within the scope of the essential characteristics of the present invention.

The scope of protection of this invention shall be interpreted by the claims below, and all technical concepts within an equivalent scope shall be interpreted as being included within the scope of rights of this invention.
