Description

Custom perfume manufacturing device, method and device for providing services using the same

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a perfume manufacturing device, a method and device for providing services using the same, and more particularly, to a custom perfume manufacturing device capable of easily and inexpensively determining a combination of fragrances for producing perfume according to an individual's taste and producing perfume according to an individual's taste, and a method and device for providing a perfume manufacturing service, matching service, recommendation service, etc. according to an individual's taste using the custom perfume manufacturing device.

[0002] The human sense of smell is a crucial one, allowing us to perceive various odors, sometimes providing pleasure, and also enabling us to identify harmful environments by detecting the stench of unsanitary or toxic gases. The scent emanating from a person can influence our impressions of them. Furthermore, unlike visual or auditory information, olfactory information reaches the olfactory center through the olfactory nerve and is immediately perceived. It can also function as a way to evoke memories of events or objects, as in the Frost effect. Thus, smell plays an emotional, memory, and social role.

[0003] As more and more people use scent as a means of self-expression and to make a positive impression, a growing variety of perfumes are being produced. Typically, a perfume company establishes the purpose and concept of the perfume, discusses the target audience, and decides on the characteristics of the fragrance. Based on these decisions, a perfumer selects the desired fragrance ingredients from a variety of sources. The selected ingredients are then combined in a specific ratio, tested, and the final composition is determined.

[0004] Typically, consumers purchase and use perfumes sold by perfume manufacturers. However, it can be difficult for the perfumes available on the market to reflect diverse individual tastes. Consumers have no choice but to sample and select perfumes that closely match their tastes, or to purchase perfumes recommended by others, regardless of their preferences. To create a perfume that reflects their individual tastes and preferences, individuals must either visit a perfume workshop to combine various fragrances or use a commercially available fragrance kit. However, using a perfume workshop not only entails the hassle of having to visit each workshop individually, but also faces the drawback of high costs. Recently, fragrance kits have become commercially available, including containers for storing fragrances, measuring cylinders for measuring the volume of the fragrance essence, and mixing containers for blending the fragrances. These kits allow users to measure the fragrance essence, test the mixing ratio, and ultimately select a fragrance that best suits their tastes. However, conventional perfume kits not only have the hassle of requiring individuals to measure the desired amount of fragrance essence using a measuring cylinder, etc., and individually calculate the desired fragrance combination ratio to create a perfume, but also have the problem of making it difficult to accurately sample the fragrance because the fragrance is released into the air during the extraction process of the fragrance essence. In addition, a large amount of liquid fragrance is consumed in the process of combining fragrances using conventional liquid fragrance essence, and a significant amount of fragrance is consumed in the process of discarding the blended perfume that is not to one's taste after mixing. In other words, when using a perfume kit that uses liquid fragrance essence, there is a problem of fragrance waste occurring in the process of mixing fragrances to create a perfume of one's taste.Furthermore, when a user adds fragrances while searching for a perfume that best suits their taste using a conventional perfume kit, the user must remember the names and amounts of the added fragrances to create the same perfume in the future, which can be inconvenient. Thus, conventional perfumes that consider individual tastes present numerous inconveniences. Even if these inconveniences are overcome and a user has previously created a perfume of their choice, re-creating the same perfume in the future can be challenging unless the user remembers the exact fragrance mixing ratios and other details.

[0005] The embodiments of the present disclosure are intended to solve the cost problem and manufacturing difficulty in manufacturing perfumes reflecting personal tastes as described above, and to provide a custom perfume manufacturing device that can inexpensively and easily measure the combination of fragrances and the combination ratio of fragrances for manufacturing perfumes according to personal tastes, and a service providing method and device that provide a perfume manufacturing service, matching service, recommendation service, etc. according to personal tastes using the custom perfume manufacturing device.

[0006] In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a custom perfume manufacturing device that allows a user to select a combination of fragrances by using a fragrance emitting stick that absorbs the fragrance essence and then emits the fragrance into the air, instead of selecting a combination of fragrances that suits an individual's taste by combining liquid-type fragrance essences, thereby reducing the amount of fragrance consumed and the amount of fragrance discarded in the process of combining fragrances.

[0007] The present invention provides a custom perfume manufacturing device capable of inexpensively and easily measuring a combination of fragrances and a combination ratio of fragrances for manufacturing perfume according to an individual's taste, and a service providing method and device for providing a perfume manufacturing service, matching service, recommendation service, etc. according to an individual's taste using the custom perfume manufacturing device.

[0008] A custom perfume manufacturing device is provided that allows a user to select a combination of fragrances by using a fragrance-emitting stick that absorbs the fragrance essence and then emits the fragrance into the air, thereby reducing the amount of fragrance consumed and the amount of fragrance discarded during the fragrance-combining process.

[0009] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to measure a combination of fragrances and a combination ratio of fragrances for inexpensively and easily producing a perfume reflecting an individual's taste, and by using the measured combination of fragrances and a combination ratio of fragrances, it is possible to produce a custom perfume reflecting an individual's taste.

[0010] In addition, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, instead of combining liquid-type fragrance concentrates to select a combination of fragrances suited to an individual's taste, a fragrance-emitting stick that absorbs the fragrance concentrate and then emits a fragrance into the air is used to allow the user to select a combination of fragrances, thereby reducing the amount of fragrance consumed in the process of combining fragrances and the amount of fragrance discarded in the process of combining fragrances.

[0011] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a combination of fragrances reflecting an individual's taste can be recommended based on information on affinity for perfume, or a perfume that an individual may prefer can be recommended using a preset perfume database.

[0012] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, based on information on the preference of a perfume for each individual, a service for recommending a perfume according to a situation or providing a matching service with a person with a similar preference for a perfume can be provided.

[0013] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a service can be provided that manages a user's perfume-related service and product purchase history, and also provides information on other users' perfume use based on information on perfumes selected by other users and sales performance of perfumes.

[0039] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0040] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a custom perfume manufacturing device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 1, a custom perfume manufacturing device (100) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a fragrance holder container (110), a sealing portion (120), and one or more fragrance emitting sticks (131, 132, 133).

[0042] The incense holder container (110) is a container having a mixing space in which fragrances can be mixed. The fragrances emitted from the incense emitting sticks (131, 132, 133) are mixed in the mixing space of the incense holder container (110). The lower part of the incense holder container (110) may be shielded from the outside or may have an open form. The incense holder container (110) may be formed of, but is not limited to, synthetic resin, paper, or the like.

[0043] The sealing member (120) is a detachable cap-shaped member that is attached to the top of the incense holder container (110) and can cover the top of the incense holder container. A plurality of insertion holes (121, 122, 123) are formed in the sealing member (120), and one or more incense emitting sticks (131, 132, 133) selected by a user can be inserted through the plurality of insertion holes (121, 122, 123). The plurality of insertion holes (121, 122, 123) can be formed along the perimeter of the sealing member (120). The plurality of insertion holes (121, 122, 123) formed in the sealing member (120) can be formed by category according to a predetermined classification standard. For example, insertion holes may be formed for each note unit, and one or more insertion holes may be formed for each note unit. Notes may be classified into multiple notes based on the fragrance's diffusion speed, fragrance diffusion speed, or fragrance's duration. For example, notes may be classified into top notes, middle notes, and base notes, and multiple insertion holes may be formed for each note type. The following description focuses on cases where fragrances are classified into top notes, middle notes, and base notes, but the criteria for classifying notes are not limited to the above-described examples and may be changed.

[0044] A sealing portion (120) is coupled to the top of the incense holder container (110), so that a mixing space can be created between the outer housing of the incense holder container (110) and the sealing portion (120). A plurality of incense emitting sticks (131, 132, 133) are inserted and installed into the insertion holes (121, 122, 123) of the sealing portion (120), and one side is positioned in the mixing space formed by the coupling of the incense holder container (110) and the sealing portion (110), and the other side can be exposed to the outside. The fragrances emitted from the plurality of incense emitting sticks (131, 132, 133) inserted through the plurality of insertion holes (121, 122, 123) of the sealing portion (120) can be mixed in the mixing space. Multiple scent-emitting sticks (131, 132, 133) can absorb different scents and then emit the scent they have absorbed to the outside.

[0045] The user inserts and installs one or more selected fragrance emitting sticks into the plurality of insertion holes (121, 122, 123) of the sealing part (120) while the fragrance holder container (110) and the sealing part (120) are combined, and then, after a predetermined period of time, the fragrances emitted from the fragrance emitting sticks are mixed in the mixing space. Then, the user separates the fragrance holder container (110) and the sealing part (120) again and smells the fragrances emitted from the mixing space of the fragrance holder container (110). Through this process, the user can determine which fragrances are needed to make a perfume of his / her desired taste. That is, after the smelling, the user can identify the types of fragrances applied to the fragrance emitting sticks inserted into the plurality of insertion holes (121, 122, 123) and select which combination of fragrances suits his / her taste. In addition, as described below, the user can measure the ratio in which the fragrances are mixed using a scale means formed on the fragrance emitting stick. Meanwhile, the bottom of the incense holder container (110) may be formed in an open form without being shielded, and in this case, the mixed scent of the incense emitting sticks inserted into the plurality of insertion holes (121, 122, 123) may be smelled directly through the bottom of the incense holder container (110) without separately separating the incense holder container (110) and the sealing portion (120).

[0046] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a scent emitting stick according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a scent emitting stick according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0047] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the scent emitting stick (20) may include an insertion portion (210), a stopper member (220), a first cap member (230), a second cap member (240), and a housing member (250). Although two cap members, the first cap member (230) and the second cap member (240), are illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cap members may be formed in a single integrated form.

[0048] The insertion part (210) has a columnar shape that can be inserted into any one of the insertion holes (121, 122, 123) of the sealing part (120) and emits a fragrance by absorbing one of the different types of fragrances. In order to be inserted into and installed in the insertion holes (121, 122, 123), the outer diameter of the insertion part (210) must be at least smaller than the outer diameters of the insertion holes (121, 122, 123). The shape of the insertion part (210) can be formed in various shapes so that the insertion part (210) can be inserted into the insertion holes (121, 122, 123) depending on the shapes of the insertion holes (121, 122, 123) formed in the sealing part (120), and is not limited to a cylindrical shape. Likewise, the shape of the insertion holes (121, 122, 123) can also be determined by considering the shape of the insertion portion (210), and is not limited to a circular shape.

[0049] The insert (210) may be composed of various materials capable of absorbing fragrance. However, it is preferable that the insert (210) be composed of an odorless material so as not to interfere with the fragrance of the absorbed fragrance. Different types of fragrances absorbed into the insert (210) may be selected from among top notes, middle notes, and base notes. Depending on the speed of diffusion, perfume raw materials can be classified into top, middle, and base notes. Top notes have the highest volatility and thus their fragrance disappears the fastest, middle notes have a duration between the top and base notes, and base notes have the longest duration among all notes. The fragrance of the top note is emitted first, and as the top note fragrance disappears, the fragrance of the middle note becomes clearer, and finally, the lingering fragrance of the base note remains. Examples of fragrances used as top notes, middle notes, and base notes are as follows: Tables 1 to 3. However, the type and number of fragrances used in each note may vary and are not limited to Tables 1 to 3. The fragrances disclosed in Tables 1 to 3 may include raw materials in which one or more chemicals are mixed. The fragrances are not limited to the fragrances exemplified in Tables 1 to 3 and may refer to raw materials in which one chemical or multiple chemicals are mixed. In addition, fragrances are not necessarily classified into top notes, middle notes, and base notes, but may be integrated or subdivided into smaller or more notes. The classification of notes in the present disclosure is merely exemplary and is not limiting.

[0053] The stopper member (220) is connected to the upper side of the insertion portion (210) to support the insertion portion (210), and has an outer diameter larger than the outer diameters of the insertion portion (210) and the insertion holes (121, 122, 123), thereby limiting the insertion length of the insertion portion (210). Since the lower outer diameter of the stopper member (220) connected to the upper side of the insertion portion (210) is larger than the insertion holes (121, 122, 123), the insertion portion (210) can be inserted only to the point where it is connected to the stopper member (220), and the stopper member (220) is not inserted into the insertion holes (121, 122, 123).

[0054] A first cap member (230) having an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the stopper member (220) may be formed on the upper side of the stopper member (220). A second cap member (240) is formed on the upper end of the first cap member (230) and may be omitted. Fragrance information for identifying the fragrance applied to the insertion portion (210) may be displayed on at least one of the first cap member (230) or the second cap member (240). As the fragrance information, a number of a fragrance set in advance as exemplified in Tables 1 to 3 may be used, or the name of the fragrance or note information indicating which note of top note / middle note / base note the current fragrance is may also be displayed. Such fragrance information may be displayed on any other member of the fragrance emitting stick (20) other than the first cap member (230) or the second cap member (240).

[0055] The housing member (250) has a space that can surround the insertion portion (210) and the stopper member (220), and can be attached to and detached from one side of the first cap member (230). When the first cap member (230) and the housing member (250) are combined and connected, the housing member (250) can have a cylindrical columnar shape that seals the insertion portion (210) by blocking it from the outside so that the fragrance emitted from the insertion portion (210) is not exposed to the outside. The housing member (250) can be detached to insert the fragrance emitting stick (20) into the insertion hole (121, 122, 123).

[0056] FIG. 4 shows a plan view of the sealing portion (120) of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 4, a plurality of insertion holes (121, 122, 123) are formed in the sealing portion (120), and a plurality of scent emitting sticks (131, 132, 133) can be inserted through the plurality of insertion holes (121, 122, 123). The plurality of insertion holes (121, 122, 123) can be formed along the circumference of the sealing portion (120). The sealing portion (120) can be formed with a plurality of insertion holes (121) for a top note, a plurality of insertion holes (122) for a middle note, and a plurality of insertion holes (123) for a base note. Guides in the form of letters, numbers, and symbols can be displayed on the upper side of the sealing portion (120) to guide the insertion holes (121, 122, 123) of the top note, the middle note, and the base note. For example, slot numbers (1 to 5) may be formed to identify each of the insertion holes (121, 122, 123) of the top note, middle note, and bass note.

[0058] FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a scale means formed on a scent emitting stick according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 5, the insertion part (210) of the fragrance emitting stick may have a scale means formed along the length direction for measuring the insertion length to which the insertion part (210) is inserted into the mixing space. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the scale means may be formed in the form of a ruler, or may be displayed as one or more numbers displayed in ascending or descending order for each preset fragrance ratio step. If it is desired to indicate that a larger ruler or number indicates that more fragrance is used, the ruler and numbers may be formed in a form that increases as the length of the inserted part (210) increases based on the insertion start point. In addition, when the fragrance ratio steps are displayed as numbers in ascending order based on the insertion direction as shown in FIG. 5b, the length between each step may have the same length. The present invention is not limited thereto, and the scaling means indicating the fragrance ratio steps may be variably formed in a manner that the length between each step gradually increases or decreases. For example, if it is necessary to measure the fine mixing capacity of a certain fragrance and if it does not have a great influence on the sense of smell felt by the user when the mixing capacity is above a certain level, the initial fine mixing capacity can be measured more precisely by increasing the number of fragrance ratio steps or forming a scaling means such that the length between fragrance ratio steps increases as the steps increase. That is, the scaling means formed in the insertion portion (210) of FIG. 5 may be formed such that the length between (Step 1 to Step 2) is the shortest, and the length between the steps thereafter gradually increases. If a certain fragrance does not have a great influence on the sense of smell felt by the user until it exceeds a certain mixing capacity, and has a great influence on the sense of smell only when it exceeds a certain mixing capacity, conversely, the scaling means formed in the insertion portion (210) of FIG. 5b may be formed such that the length between (Step 1 to Step 2) is the longest, and the length between the steps thereafter gradually decreases.

[0060] As described above, the user can measure how much fragrance is mixed using the scale means formed in the insertion portion (210) of the fragrance emitting stick. The user can determine the mixing ratio between the fragrance raw materials applied to the plurality of fragrance emitting sticks by measuring the insertion length or fragrance ratio step of each of the plurality of fragrance emitting sticks using the scale means formed in the insertion portion (210). A method for determining the mixing ratio between the plurality of fragrances will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

[0061] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a custom perfume manufacturing device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 6, when a plurality of scent emitting sticks (631, 632, 633) are inserted and installed into insertion holes included in the sealing portion (620) while the scent holder container (610) and the sealing portion (620) are combined, the user can measure the insertion length or scent ratio step of each scent emitting stick (631, 632, 633) inserted into the mixing space (A1) by using a scale means formed in the insertion portion of the scent emitting stick (631, 632, 633). As illustrated in FIG. 6, the first fragrance emitting stick (631) is inserted to a point where the scale means indicates fragrance ratio stage 2, the second fragrance emitting stick (632) is inserted to a point where the scale means indicates fragrance ratio stage 3, and the third fragrance emitting stick (633) is inserted to a point where the scale means indicates fragrance ratio stage 5, and further, it is assumed that the scale means are classified into five stages from 1 to 5 in total. In this case, since the amount of fragrance emitted by the fragrance emitting stick increases according to the length into which the fragrance emitting stick is inserted, the mixing ratio of the first fragrance raw material emitted by the first fragrance emitting stick (631), the second fragrance raw material emitted by the second fragrance emitting stick (632), and the third fragrance raw material emitted by the first fragrance emitting stick (633) can be determined at a ratio of 2:3:5, which is a value measured by the scale means. As another example, the mixing ratio may be determined by multiplying the measured value by a predetermined weight value for each type of fragrance. For example, the weight of the first fragrance raw material may be preset as A, the weight of the second fragrance raw material as B, and the weight of the third fragrance raw material as C (where A, B, and C are real numbers), and the mixing ratio of 2A:3B:5C may be determined by multiplying the measured value by the weight value for each fragrance.

[0063] Instead of the user directly determining the mixing ratio, the user inputs the measured values ​​step by step into the user terminal through a scale means through a predetermined application service connected to the server side and running on the user terminal, and the server side receiving this can calculate and determine the mixing ratio of the fragrance ingredients for manufacturing the perfume selected by the user based on the type of fragrance raw material and the measured values. The server side can also adjust the mixing ratio by multiplying the measurement values ​​for each fragrance emitting stick received from the user terminal by a predetermined weight.

[0064] FIG. 7 is a drawing showing a service providing system using a custom perfume manufacturing device according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 7, a service providing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a user terminal (710) and a server device (720). The user terminal (710) may be a mobile phone, a smart phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a digital broadcasting terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a PMP (Portable Multimedia Player), a navigation device, etc., but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and may be various other devices capable of user input and information display. Each of the user terminal (710) and the server device (720) may implement one or more processors and memories, and may execute a program for a service providing method described below.

[0066] The user terminal (710) receives information on the type of fragrance and the fragrance ratio of the fragrance selected by the user from the user using the custom perfume manufacturing device according to the aforementioned FIGS. 1 to 6.

[0068] Meanwhile, in order to analyze the user's personal perfume taste, the scent emitting stick of the aforementioned custom perfume manufacturing device may be provided with a predetermined test perfume for testing instead of the fragrance raw material. The user can taste the fragrance emitted from the scent emitting stick that has absorbed the test perfume, and then input a likeability score of the test perfume that he or she has tasted through the user terminal (710). The user terminal (710) transmits the likeability information for the predetermined test perfume input by the user to the server (720), and the server (720) analyzes the user's taste through big data analysis or an analysis utilizing an artificial intelligence model based on the fragrance raw material used in the test perfume and the user's likeability information, and can recommend the type and mixing ratio of fragrances for manufacturing a perfume that reflects the user's taste. In addition, the server (720) may recommend a perfume that the user may like among pre-manufactured perfumes or commercially available perfumes based on the analyzed user taste.

[0069] Additionally, the user terminal (710) may receive the user's preference for the fragrance raw material itself and transmit the user's preference information for the fragrance raw material to the server (720). In this case, the server (720) may analyze the user's preference based on the user's preference for the fragrance raw material itself and recommend a type of fragrance or a fragrance mixing ratio that the user may like, or may recommend a perfume that the user may like among pre-made perfumes or commercially available perfumes.

[0070] In addition, the user terminal (710) can receive the user's feelings about the fragrance raw material or test perfume in the form of words, and transmit the information received in the form of words to the server (720). The server (720) can analyze the user's preference for the fragrance raw material or perfume by utilizing big data-based analysis or an artificial intelligence model based on the words selected or entered by the user regarding the fragrance raw material or test perfume. The server (720) can store the user's preference information for the analyzed fragrance raw material or perfume in a database and utilize it as basic information for various services.

[0071] In addition, the user terminal (710) can receive information about the usage situation of a specific perfume from the user, collect information about the situation in which the user uses the specific perfume, and transmit the collected information to the server (720). The server (720) can analyze the surrounding situation information in which the user is currently using the specific perfume, and recommend the type of fragrance or the fragrance mixing ratio according to the user's surrounding situation, or recommend a fragrance suitable for the user's situation among pre-made perfumes or commercially available perfumes. The user's surrounding situation can utilize user location information, date and time information, temperature information, etc. collected through various sensors provided in the user terminal (710). The server (720) can receive the user's surrounding situation information received from the user terminal (710), analyze the user's surrounding situation, and utilize it when providing a recommendation service.

[0072] In addition, the user terminal (710) can receive information from the user about the feelings or inconveniences felt while using a specific perfume, and transmit the received information to the server (720). The server (720) analyzes the user's perfume taste based on the received information, determines the types of perfumes, the mixing ratio of perfumes, and perfumes that the user does not prefer, and can exclude from recommendation the types of perfumes, the mixing ratio of perfumes, and perfumes that the user is likely to dislike.

[0073] In addition, the server (720) can transmit information on the types of fragrances, fragrance mixing ratios, and perfumes that are currently being used or sold by other users to the user terminal (710) based on the perfume preference information collected from multiple users.

[0074] FIG. 8 illustrates a GUI (Graphic User Interface) (800) for providing a first service output by an application running on a user terminal (710) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The first service is a service for manufacturing a custom perfume based on information on the type and mixing ratio of fragrances selected by the user using the aforementioned custom perfume manufacturing device. For this custom perfume providing service, the user may select raw materials of the perfume selected by the user by top / mid / base notes through the user terminal (710) and input information on the ratio of fragrance to the raw materials of the selected perfume and information on likeability, and the information input by the user is transmitted from the user terminal (710) to the server (720).

[0075] Referring to FIG. 8, a GUI (800) for creating a custom perfume may include a note input section (810), a fragrance ratio information input section (820), and a fragrance type information input section (830).

[0076] The note input unit (810) is where the types of top notes, middle notes, and base notes are input, and the fragrance ratio information input unit (820) is where the fragrance ratio step information measured using the scale means displayed on the insertion part of the fragrance emission stick of the custom perfume manufacturing device described above is input. As shown in FIG. 4 described above, each insertion hole can be distinguished by note, and slot numbers for distinguishing the insertion holes of each note can be formed in the sealing unit (120). The fragrance ratio information input unit (820) can receive the fragrance ratio step information measured using the fragrance emission stick installed in the insertion hole of each slot for each slot. FIG. 8 illustrates a case where the fragrance ratio steps are set to 5 steps, but the number of fragrance ratio steps can be changed. The fragrance type information input unit (830) is where information on the fragrance applied to the fragrance emission stick inserted and installed in the insertion hole of the sealing unit (120) is input. The fragrance type information input unit (830) can receive information about the fragrance applied to the fragrance emitting stick installed in the insertion hole of each slot.

[0077] As exemplified in Tables 1 to 3, if a number is preset for each fragrance applied to a plurality of fragrance-emitting sticks, the fragrance can be identified by entering the corresponding number. In order to input a number indicating the type of fragrance emitted by the fragrance-emitting stick inserted and installed in the insertion hole, the user may select a slot number position among the five slot positions displayed in the fragrance type information input unit (830) by touching it, and then adjust the slider (840) to select a number corresponding to the fragrance number, thereby inputting the fragrance number of the corresponding slot position. If there are 1 to N fragrance types (N is a positive integer), the slider (840) may be configured so that integers from 1 to N are selected as it is slid from left to right. When the user inputs the fragrance number through the slider (840), the fragrance number selected by the user may be displayed in the corresponding slot position of the fragrance type information input unit (830). Instead of a slider (840), a fragrance type information input section (830) may be formed so that the user can directly input a number corresponding to the fragrance number.

The second service may be a service that provides a fragrance-emitting stick capable of sampling a variety of test perfumes to analyze a user's individual perfume preferences, and allows the user to input preference information for each test perfume. The test perfume may be a preset perfume or may refer to a specific fragrance ingredient.

[0079] Referring to FIG. 9, after a user samples a test perfume, the user can input a likeability score of the test perfume he or she sampled through a user terminal (710). The user can input a likeability score by selecting a number between 0 and 100 corresponding to his or her likeability by adjusting a slider (920). The user terminal (710) transmits the likeability score information for a given test perfume input by the user to the server (720), and the server (720) can analyze and store the user's likeability information for the test perfume. The likeability scores (910) of other users for their test perfumes can be displayed on the GUI (900), and the likeability of other users for the corresponding test perfume can be compared with the likeability of the current user. The user's likeability can be graded instead of a numeric value such as a likeability score, and the user can also input grade information representing his or her likeability. For example, a user's likeability may be classified as {very good, good, average, bad, very bad}, etc., and the user may select a rating indicating the likeability information of the custom perfume he or she has tried.

[0080] The server (720) may analyze the user's preferences through big data analysis or an artificial intelligence model based on the user's preference information for a specific test perfume or a fragrance raw material provided for testing, and may recommend the type and mixing ratio of fragrance ingredients for manufacturing a perfume that reflects the user's preferences. In addition, the server (720) may recommend a perfume that the user may like among pre-manufactured perfumes or commercially available perfumes based on the analyzed user preferences.

[0081] FIG. 10 illustrates a GUI (1000) for providing a third service output by an application running on a user terminal (710) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The third service may be a service that allows a user to input at least one word related to the feeling after trying a fragrance, instead of a score or graded information indicating the user's preference, in order to analyze the user's individual perfume taste.

[0082] Referring to FIG. 10, after tasting a test perfume, a user may input a word about the feeling of the test perfume tasted by the user through a user terminal (710) or select one or more words associated with the test perfume from among preset words (1010), thereby receiving information related to the user's liking or preference for the test perfume.
