Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of cosmetic mirrors, and in particular refers to a smart cosmetic mirror. [Previous Technology]

[0002] For flight attendants, a presentable appearance is of paramount importance, as their image not only represents their personal qualities but also relates to the airline's brand image. Therefore, airlines have strict requirements for flight attendants' demeanor, including standardized hairstyles, neatness of uniforms, placement of accessories, and standards for posture and poise. To meet these standards, flight attendants need to improve their appearance through repeated practice and review.

[0003] However, existing traditional mirrors only provide basic reflections, making it difficult for users to verify whether their hairstyle, clothing details, and posture meet standards, especially the position of the turban, the accuracy of accessory placement, and overall posture. Furthermore, the learning process often requires watching online instructional videos or relying on others for guidance, making self-study difficult, lacking immediate feedback, and affecting learning efficiency. At the same time, flight attendants' makeup is also part of their image, but beginners often struggle to determine whether the chosen makeup suits their facial features, thus affecting the overall presentation.

[0004] Currently, there are some tools on the market that assist in adjusting one's appearance. For example, the "mirror assembly" announced in Taiwan Patent No. 1858577 projects light radiating outward from a transparent frame through a light source set behind the mirror assembly, and the user can adjust the color temperature and brightness of the light according to the ambient light. However, such products mainly focus on light adjustment and cannot provide specific guidance on the requirements of flight attendants' appearance, such as the position of the hair bun, the accuracy of the placement of clothing and accessories, etc. Another example is the "structure of a portable mirror for real-time image transmission" disclosed in Taiwan Patent No. 201641053. Although it can provide lighting and camera functions to help see hard-to-observe areas, it still cannot provide virtual image suggestions, nor can it provide real-time guidance based on the user's body shape and standard specifications.

[0005] In summary, current products on the market cannot effectively help flight attendants or other professionals train in posture and etiquette, and also lack intelligent guidance functions. Therefore, there is still room for further improvement to provide more complete auxiliary functions and help users improve the standardization and professionalism of their appearance.

[0006] In view of this, how to solve the above problems is the primary issue that the present invention aims to address. [Summary of the Invention]

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this is a preferred embodiment of the smart beauty mirror of the present invention, which can be placed on a table for use. It mainly includes a body 1, a photography module 2, an adjustable color temperature light source module 3, a microprocessor 4, a transmission module 5, and a power supply unit 6.

[0026] The main body 1 has a mirror 11 and a display device 12. The mirror 11 is located on one side of the main body 1 and reflects a virtual image of the user. The display device 12 is located inside the main body 1 and behind the mirror 11, and is used to display a user interface through the mirror 11. The camera module 2 and the adjustable color temperature light source module 3 are both located on the front side of the main body 1. The camera module 2 includes a camera 21 and a depth sensor 22, wherein the camera 21 is a camera that can automatically adjust its focus. The camera 21 captures an image of the user, and the depth sensor 22 is used to accurately measure the distance between the user's face and the mirror 11. The adjustable color temperature light source module 3 includes a light sensor 31 and a plurality of adjustable color temperature LEDs 32, which are arranged around the periphery of the main body 1.

[0027] The main body 1 also includes a touch panel 13, which is disposed on the lens body 11 and electrically coupled to the microprocessor 4. The touch panel 13 receives user operation commands, which are then executed by the microprocessor 4. The microprocessor 4 is disposed inside the main body and electrically coupled to the camera module 2 and the adjustable color temperature light source module 3. The microprocessor 4 can receive and process signals from these modules and send control signals to the modules to control their operation. The transmission module 5 is installed inside the main body 1 and includes a Wi-Fi module 51 and a Bluetooth module 52, which can be used to connect to the network and external mobile devices.

[0028] The microprocessor 4 has an auxiliary module 44, which includes a plurality of instructions. These instructions include not only a makeup mode instruction and a posture and deportment mode instruction, but also, but are not limited to, makeup style selection instructions, makeup setting instructions, makeup tutorial instructions, deportment tutorial instructions, and learning progress instructions. These instructions are displayed by the display device 12, and any instruction can be selected via the touch panel 13 to trigger the microprocessor 4 to execute the corresponding instruction.

[0029] The microprocessor 4 further includes a face recognition module 41, an image processing module 42, and an AI learning module 43. When a user selects a makeup mode command via the touch panel 13, the microprocessor 4 receives the user image captured by the camera 21. The face recognition module 41 detects and analyzes the user's facial features in real time based on the user image and accurately marks the positions of the user's eyes, nose, mouth, and other facial features. The AI ​​learning module 43 generates a corresponding virtual makeup based on the user's selected makeup style, facial features, and ambient lighting. The face recognition module 41 combines the measurement data from the depth sensor 22 to calculate the position of the face corresponding to the virtual makeup. The image processing module 42 overlays the virtual makeup with the user's image to simulate the makeup effect and outputs it through the display device, allowing the user to intuitively see the makeup effect through the display device, understand whether the makeup suits them, and whether adjustments are needed, achieving the effect of virtual makeup try-on and saving makeup time.

[0030] To achieve the best makeup display effect, the microprocessor 4 receives the detection signal from the light sensor 31 and executes software control to adjust the brightness and color temperature of the adjustable color temperature LEDs 32 (e.g., controlling the color temperature to 2500K~5500K, adjusting the yellower or whiter light and brightness intensity) to simulate the best light source environment, allowing the user to see a virtual makeup that closely resembles reality. The facial recognition module 41 further analyzes the user's facial expressions in the image and adjusts the virtual makeup according to the changes in the user's facial muscles and the direction of wrinkles to achieve the best makeup effect.

[0031] The AI ​​learning module 43 is trained by learning different makeup styles and techniques. After training, the AI ​​learning module 43 can adjust the virtual makeup according to the user's makeup preferences, making the makeup more in line with the user's preferences and improving user satisfaction. At the same time, the AI ​​learning module 43 will generate a makeup tutorial based on the virtual makeup. The user can select the makeup tutorial command by touching the touch panel 13, triggering the microprocessor to play the makeup tutorial through the display device.

[0032] The makeup tutorial includes step-by-step instructions, recommendations for makeup tools and products. The tutorial breaks down the complete makeup process into multiple steps, such as base makeup, eye makeup, and lip makeup, and guides the user through the application of makeup tools in sequence according to the facial makeup order. Before each step, the display device shows the required makeup tools and products in text or image format, allowing users to quickly select appropriate tools and products and improve makeup efficiency. The Wi-Fi module 51 of the transmission module 5 connects to online marketplaces and / or online shopping platforms to search for and provide purchase links for recommended makeup tools and products, facilitating direct purchase. As shown in Figure 3, the image processing module 42 marks the area where makeup products should be applied on the user's face in the makeup tutorial, demonstrating the correct technique and angle for each step with animation. The camera 21 captures the user's application position and technique, compares it with the tutorial, and provides immediate prompts or corrections. The makeup tutorial also displays a progress bar on the device, allowing users to clearly understand the makeup progress.

[0033] When the user selects the posture and deportment mode command via the touch panel 13, as shown in Figure 4, the microprocessor 4 receives the command and controls the camera 21 of the photography module 2 to adjust its focus to capture a full-body image of the user. The image processing module 42 analyzes the user's posture in real time by combining the distance measured by the depth sensor 22, and the AI ​​learning module 43 creates a 3D virtual character. The 3D virtual model displays the correct posture and attire according to standard postures and outputs the results via the display device 12. At the same time, the system compares the user's posture and attire to determine whether the position of the user's hairstyle, accessories, clothing, etc., meets the standards, and prompts the user to correct these aspects via voice or visual animation, thereby achieving the effect of guiding and correcting posture and attire. The system also recommends suitable posture tutorials based on the user's posture, records the posture training progress, and generates a training report.

[0034] The microprocessor 4 also includes a memory module 45, which is used to store user personal data, makeup data, posture data, and system software. The makeup data includes virtual makeup built into the memory module 45, user-preferred makeup, user-completed makeup, makeup tutorials, etc. For example, after completing the makeup, the user can take a photo using the camera 21 to generate a makeup artwork. This makeup artwork can be stored in the memory module 45 as the user's makeup data, and can also be shared to online social media via the Wi-Fi module to enhance confidence and enjoyment in makeup. If the makeup tutorial or posture tutorial is not completed, its learning progress is stored and recorded. The user can select the learning progress command through the touch panel 13 to check the learning progress of each tutorial.

[0035] In actual use, the user can also select a makeup style via the touch panel 13. The microprocessor 4 retrieves the virtual makeup from the memory module 45, and the facial recognition module 41 and the image processing module 42 overlay the virtual makeup onto the user's image. The display device 12 then outputs the makeup effect. If the user selects a makeup setting command, the user can change the base makeup, eye makeup, lip makeup, etc., according to their personal preferences based on the selected virtual makeup, thereby obtaining a personalized virtual makeup that meets the user's individual makeup requirements and makes the makeup more in line with the user's personal preferences.

[0036] Further explanation: As shown in Figure 1, the transmission module 5 is also wirelessly connected to a cloud database 7. The Wi-Fi module 51 uploads data such as posture training progress, training reports, makeup data, and makeup tutorial learning progress to the cloud database 7, or downloads data from the cloud database 7 to the microprocessor 4. The cloud database 7 includes a makeup database 71 and a user database 72. The makeup database 71 stores makeup images, videos, makeup tutorials, and other data. The user database 72 establishes a separate data unit 73 for each user, storing user personal information, preference settings, makeup history, and posture history.

[0037] The power supply unit 6 is located inside the main body. The power supply unit 6 can be a rechargeable battery electrically coupled to the microprocessor to supply power for the operation of the microprocessor. The rechargeable battery is connected to an external power source for charging via a charging port, making it convenient to carry around. In other feasible embodiments, the power supply unit 6 can also be a power cord with a plug, which can be directly connected to an external power source for power supply.
