Description

Skin care service provision system

[0001] The present invention relates to a skin care service providing system, and more particularly, to a skin care service providing system capable of providing a user-customized skin care function that reflects the user's intention, skin condition, and other user usage data.

[0002] Various skin care devices are being developed to prevent skin aging, and recently, skin care devices using high frequency, low frequency, or ultrasound have been released.

[0003] Since each user receiving skin care has different skin conditions (skin tone, skin texture, skin troubles, etc.), applying the same skin care method to each individual may cause unintended skin troubles.

[0004] In addition, depending on the care purpose of the user receiving skin care (wrinkle improvement, moisturizing, tone improvement, etc.), a skin care method that can meet the care purpose needs to be applied.

[0005] Therefore, a skin care device that can solve these problems is needed.

[0006] The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a skin care service providing system that can provide a user-customized skin care function that reflects the user's intention, skin condition, and other user usage data.

[0007] A skin care service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a skin care program providing server connected by a network; a user terminal device; and an inspection device; wherein user skin information provided by the inspection device is transmitted to the skin care program providing server, and the skin care program providing server generates a skin care program based on the user skin information, and the skin care program is provided to the user by the user terminal device; and the skin care program providing server comprises: a database in which data is stored; a current value derivation unit in which user skin condition information provided by the inspection device is classified by predetermined data items and a current value derivation unit for deriving a current value of the user skin condition by digitizing the current status of each data item; a skin care program derivation unit for deriving a skin care program based on data stored in the database and the current value of the user's skin; a future value derivation unit for deriving a future value of each data item by predicting the user's skin condition after skin care service is provided for a predetermined period of time; and an analysis unit for comparing and analyzing the current value and the future value and providing feedback.

[0036] A skin care service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a skin care program providing server connected by a network; a user terminal device; and an inspection device; wherein user skin information provided by the inspection device is transmitted to the skin care program providing server, and the skin care program providing server generates a skin care program based on the user skin information, and the skin care program is provided to the user by the user terminal device; and the skin care program providing server comprises: a database in which data is stored; a current value derivation unit in which user skin condition information provided by the inspection device is classified by predetermined data items and a current value derivation unit for deriving a current value of the user skin condition by digitizing the current status of each data item; a skin care program derivation unit for deriving a skin care program based on data stored in the database and the current value of the user's skin; a future value derivation unit for deriving a future value of each data item by predicting the user's skin condition after skin care service is provided for a predetermined period of time; and an analysis unit for comparing and analyzing the current value and the future value and providing feedback.

[0037] The above skin care program derivation unit derives a skin care program by reflecting at least one of the user's emotional information, environmental information, and activity information.

[0038] Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described.

[0039] FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating a skin care service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] A skin care service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a predetermined network (100), and may include a skin care program providing server (200), an inspection device (400), and a user terminal device (300) connected by the network (100).

[0041] The network (100) may be a predetermined communication network that connects the skin care program providing server (200), the inspection device (400), and the user terminal device (300) by wire or wirelessly.

[0042] The skin care program provision server (200) can read the user's skin condition based on an image provided by the user, and provide the user with a skin care program based on the read skin condition and related data. Furthermore, the skin care device included in the user terminal device (300) can be controlled according to the skin care program selected by the user. Furthermore, when the skin care program is performed, a future value, which is an estimate of the user's skin changes, can be derived. Furthermore, after performing the skin care program, the user's skin condition, reread by the inspection device (400), can be compared with the future value to enable the continuation or modification of the skin care program.

[0043] The user terminal device (300) may be a device capable of actually providing skin care information and skin care services to the user. For example, the user terminal device (300) may be a skin care device equipped with a display for inputting and outputting information and a skin care handpiece for providing actual skin care services to the user.

[0044] The inspection device (400) may be any optical device capable of acquiring an image of the user's skin. The optical device may be a device capable of capturing an image, for example, a camera, and the camera may be in the form of a camera module including a flash, multiple lenses, an AF module, an OIS module, an image sensor, an image signal processor, etc. However, the invention is not necessarily limited to such optical devices, and the inspection device (400) may be any device capable of acquiring information regarding the user's skin condition. Therefore, the description related to acquiring an image of the user's skin by the inspection device (400) in the following description is not necessarily limited to a visual image, and can be understood as acquiring all information related to the user's skin condition.

[0045] Additionally, user information may be input into the skin care service provision system through the inspection device (400), user terminal device (300), or a separate input device. User information may include any information related to the user, such as the user's age, gender, occupation, and living environment.

[0046] The inspection device (400) may be a separate device from the user terminal device (300), and according to an embodiment, the user terminal device (300) may include the inspection device (400). For example, by attaching a predetermined inspection device to the user terminal device (300), in addition to providing skin care services, the user's skin inspection may be entirely performed by the user terminal device (300).

[0047]

[0048] <Skin Care Service Provision Flow of the Skin Care Service Provision System>

[0049] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the overall flow of providing a skin care program recommendation service to a user by a skin care service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0050] A user can capture an image of a body part using the inspection device (400). The inspection device (400) can transmit the captured image of the user to a skin care program providing server (200). The body part may be, but is not limited to, the face, and may be a specific body part such as the back, chest, or stomach. Meanwhile, as described above, the inspection device (400) can be any device capable of acquiring information regarding the user's skin condition, and in addition to the user's skin image, any information related to the user's skin can be acquired by the inspection device (400).

[0051] The above-mentioned inspection device (400) may be installed, for example, at a predetermined location, institution, or facility, and according to another example, may be a user's personal terminal or a predetermined mobile device installed on a personal terminal. In other words, the inspection device (400) is not limited in its form or installation location as long as it is a device that can capture an image (acquire information) of a user's body part and transmit the image (information) to a skin care program providing server (200).

[0052] The skin care program providing server (200) can obtain a user's face image through the inspection device (400). The inspection device (400) and the user shown in the upper right of FIG. 2 mean that the image obtained from the inspection device (400) is transmitted to the skin care program providing server (200) through the network (100). Of course, the skin care program providing server (200) can obtain all information related to the user's skin in addition to the user's face image through the inspection device (400).

[0053] The skin care program providing server (200) analyzes the user's facial image (user's skin information) received from the inspection device (400), reads the user's skin condition based on the analysis result, and determines a skin care program to recommend to the user based on the read skin condition of the user.

[0054] The above inspection device (400) can be controlled by the skin care program providing server (200). For example, the operation, magnification, type change, intensity, type and / or direction of the light source of the inspection device (400) can be determined by the user or the skin care program providing server (200).

[0055] For example, if the skin care program provision server (200) determines that the image acquired from the inspection device (400) is not sufficient to read the user's skin condition, it may transmit a predetermined signal to the user. The signal may be, for example, a signal requesting a change in shooting parameter values ​​such as direction and magnification, and a signal requesting a re-shoot.

[0056] The user terminal device (300) may display information about the user's skin condition and / or information about a skin care program for the user, received from the skin care program providing server (200), through a display. For example, the user terminal device (300) may read the user's skin condition based on the facial image and skin information acquired through the inspection device (400), generate predetermined read information, and display the read information about the user's skin condition (e.g., an image showing wrinkles in detail) through a display. In addition, the user terminal device (300) may display various information about a recommended skin care device and a skin care program (e.g., an image including the information) to improve the user's skin condition based on the read information through the display. The user terminal device (300) may display a predetermined user interface, and input and output of signals and information may be performed through the user interface.

[0057] The skin care program provided by the above skin care program providing server (200) can be generated by data related to skin care services previously provided by a plurality of user terminal devices (300). The connection relationship between a plurality of users and user terminal devices (300), a network (100), and a skin care program providing server (200) illustrated at the bottom of Fig. 2 means that a plurality of unspecified users receive skin care services through any user terminal device (300), and data related to the skin care services generated as a result are transmitted to the skin care program providing server (200) through the network (100). Here, acquisition and provision of data related to the user skin care service can be performed by the user terminal device (300) and the inspection device (400).

[0058] A user can receive a skin care program through a user terminal device (300), and can select a skin care program to receive a skin care service. The user and the user terminal device (300) shown in the upper left of Fig. 2 mean that the user can receive a skin care program generated by a skin care program providing server (200) through the network (100) through the user terminal device (300). At this time, the user can also receive an actual skin care service through a skin care device included in the user terminal device (300).

[0059] A skin care device that can be included in a user terminal device (300) can be operated based on a control value determined by a user. Here, the control value may be any control signal for controlling the operation of the skin care device. Alternatively, the skin care device may be linked to a skin care program providing server (200) and may be operated under control by a control value determined by the skin care program providing server (200). That is, the control value may be input by a user, or as another example, may be automatically provided by the skin care program providing server (200).

[0060] After performing skin care using the above skin care device, the user can take a picture of the body part again using the inspection device (400). In an embodiment, the body part where skin care was performed using the skin care device can be taken.

[0061] The user's skin condition information (skin image) after the above skin care is performed can be transmitted back to the skin care program providing server (200). The skin care program providing server (200) can compare the information (image) before skin care with the information (image) after skin care, and provide the comparison result. The provided result can be provided to the user via the user terminal device (300).

[0062] In the above description, the inspection device (400), the skin care program providing server (200), the user terminal device (300), and the skin care device are each illustrated separately, but are not limited thereto. For example, an embodiment in which the inspection of the user's skin, display of skin information and skin care program, and skin care are performed by one device or means is also possible. For example, a predetermined skin care device is provided, and the device includes the inspection device (400), a communication device, a display device, and a skin care service providing device, so that the inspection of the user's skin, display of skin information and skin care program, and skin care as described above may be performed by the skin care device.

[0063]

[0064] <Skin Care Program Provider Server (200)>

[0065] Figure 3 is a drawing showing the structure of a skin care program providing server (200).

[0066] Below, each element that constitutes the skin care program provision server (200) is described in detail.

[0067]

[0068] <Database section (210)>

[0069] The database unit (210) may contain all data related to skin care services. For example, it may contain all data related to various parameters that serve as criteria for determining a user's skin condition, skin condition comparison data, and accumulated usage data for deriving a skin care program. The database unit (210) may be a predetermined data storage device that stores the data, and may include a predetermined communication device and server that can receive external data. The database unit (210) may not only contain pre-stored data, but may also receive data from an external source via a network (100) or create new data using the received data.

[0070]

[0071] <Current value derivation section (220)>

[0072] The current value derivation unit (220) can derive the current value of the user's skin condition acquired from the inspection device (400). The current value is data representing the user's skin condition at the time when information (skin image) regarding the user's skin condition was acquired by the inspection device (400), and may be, for example, numerical data expressed in numbers.

[0073] That is, the user's skin condition is classified into multiple items according to predetermined criteria. For example, information about the user's skin condition may include items such as skin color, skin moisture, oil, sebum, pH, sensitivity, elasticity, wrinkles, skin tone, pore condition, pigmentation, dark circles, skin disease, redness, and dead skin cell condition. In one example, the individual items may be grouped into categories according to predetermined criteria. For example, among the items, multiple items related to the skin epidermis layer and multiple items related to the skin deep layer may be grouped and classified separately into separate categories.

[0074] Each of the above items is evaluated according to predetermined evaluation criteria, and the results can be quantified. For example, each of the above items may be analyzed according to predetermined analysis criteria, and the analysis results may be output as a numerical value between 1 and 10. The evaluation criteria may be an algorithm included in the current value derivation unit (220) or predetermined data stored in the database unit (210).

[0075] For example, as explained above, data on the user's skin condition is classified into items such as skin color, skin moisture, oil, sebum, pH, sensitivity, elasticity, wrinkles, skin tone, pore condition, pigmentation, dark circles, skin disease, redness, and dead skin cell condition, and each item can be output as a number from 1 to 10 depending on the degree of goodness. For example, the best condition that meets a certain standard is 10, and conversely, the worst condition is 1, and the interval between them can be divided into 10 according to a certain standard and expressed as a number from 9 to 2.

[0076] The above current value may be multiple depending on the time point of skin condition data acquisition by the inspection device (400). That is, the current value initially acquired based on a specific time point may be the first current value. In addition, the current value acquired after the skin care service described below is provided once may be the second current value. In other words, the "current value" is a term that names skin condition data actually acquired at a specific time point, and is not necessarily limited to the numerical value at the current time point. That is, even if it is skin condition data acquired in the past, if it is data actually acquired about the user's skin condition at that time, it can be understood as the "current value" based on that time point.

[0077]

[0078] <Skin Care Program Development Department (230)>

[0079] The skin care program derivation unit (230) can derive a skin care program that can improve the user's skin condition based on the current value of the user's skin condition obtained from the current value derivation unit (220).

[0080] A skin care program may include all information necessary for providing skin care. For example, the information provided by the skin care program may include information on a skin care device used to provide the skin care program. As another example, a given skin care device may include skin care device control information (control value information) for providing a specific skin care function to a user. An example of the skin care device control information may include information regarding the operating time of the ultrasonic device, the frequency of the ultrasonic waves provided, the operating temperature of the ultrasonic device, etc., if the skin care device is an ultrasonic device.

[0081] According to an embodiment, the skin care program derivation unit (230) may select skin care devices and control data appropriate to the user's skin condition from among skin care device data and control data stored in a database based on the user's skin condition and provide the selected skin care devices and control data to the user. In other words, the skin care program derivation unit (230) may select skin care devices appropriate to the user's skin condition and select operation information of the corresponding skin care devices and provide the selected skin care devices to the user.

[0082] In one embodiment, the skin care program derivation unit (230) may derive a skin care program reflecting the care purpose input by the user. For example, the user may transmit the skin care purpose to the skin care program provision server (200) using the user terminal device (300), and the skin care program derivation unit (230) may derive a skin care program reflecting the user's skin care purpose. The purpose may be, for example, whitening, elasticity enhancement, wrinkle reduction, blemish removal, etc.

[0083] For example, if a user inputs a goal of skin whitening, a skin care program related to skin whitening can be derived. For example, a user with dark skin may avoid receiving skin care services related to skin whitening. Therefore, the skin care program derivation unit (230) derives a skin care program that reflects the user's goals and preferences, thereby providing a skin care service that meets the user's goals.

[0084] Control information may be control value information that controls a skin care device. For example, it may include the frequency range and operating time of high-frequency waves provided by the skin care device. Another example may include the skin care temperature provided by the skin care device, and the like. This control value information is not limited thereto.

[0085] In one embodiment, the skin care program derivation unit (230) may include a skin care device derivation unit and a skin care device control provision unit.

[0086] In an embodiment, the skin care device derivation unit may select a portion of a plurality of skin care devices stored in a database and provide a recommendation list to the user. That is, a specific portion of skin care devices from a given skin care device product group may be selected and provided to the user as a recommendation list.

[0087] Meanwhile, according to an embodiment, the list of skin care devices provided by the skin care device derivation unit may be, for example, a portion of a plurality of skin care modules included in a specific skin care device. That is, in a specific skin care device product having a plurality of handpiece units, the skin care derivation unit may also recommend selective use of a portion of the plurality of handpiece units.

[0088] The skin care programs provided by the above skin care program derivation unit (230) may be multiple. For example, multiple skin care programs, such as skin whitening programs and elasticity improvement programs, may be provided for different purposes. In addition, various skin care programs classified by other criteria may be provided.

[0089] According to an embodiment, the information included in the skin care program may be a control value of a care device included in the user terminal device (300). For example, as described below, if the user terminal device (300) includes a plurality of handpiece units providing a skin care function, the skin care program may provide information such as the operating order, operating time, frequency, and intensity of each handpiece unit. Information regarding such skin care program may be provided by the skin care device control providing unit described above.

[0090] For example, the algorithm included in the skin care program derivation unit (230) selects, from among existing skin care service provision result data, a skin care service provision result provided to an existing user who is determined to have a skin condition most similar to the user's skin condition, and, among these, provides a skin care program by combining existing cases that are determined to have the greatest skin improvement effect while best matching the user's skin care purpose.

[0091] At this time, factors considered when selecting a skin care program may include the user's skin condition, as determined by the current value derived from the current value derivation unit (220). For example, all data related to the user's skin condition, such as dryness / oilyness, skin tone, and facial contour, may be considered when selecting a skin care program. Furthermore, according to an embodiment, by considering the user's lifestyle, occupation, etc. as factors, it is possible to guide the user to receive a care program at the optimal time. Therefore, a customized skin care program can be provided.

[0092]

[0093] Future Derivation Department (240)

[0094] The future value derivation unit (240) can predict the user's skin condition at a future point in time. The future value is a concept contrasted with the present value, and refers to a predicted value regarding the user's skin condition at a point in time (future) after a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the point in time (present) when the user's skin condition is examined by the examination device (400).

[0095] Specifically, the future value derivation unit (240) can derive skin condition data of a future user at a point in time after a predetermined point in time has elapsed, based on the data below.

[0096] - First data: User's skin condition data at the time the user's skin image was acquired (first time point)

[0097] - Secondary data: Skin care program suggested to the user

[0098] - Third-party data: Data on changes in skin condition of other users who applied the skin care program

[0099] The above first data is data on the user's skin condition at the time the user's skin image is acquired, and is data on the user's skin condition derived by the current value derivation unit (220) using the user's skin image acquired by the inspection device (400). The above first data may include items such as skin color, skin moisture, oil, sebum, pH, sensitivity, elasticity, wrinkles, skin tone, pore condition, pigmentation, dark circles, redness, and keratin condition, and as previously explained, each of the above items can be digitized.

[0100] The second data may be one or more skin care programs suggested to the user. As previously explained, the skin care program may include information about a specific skin care device and control information for the skin care device.

[0101] The third data may be data on skin care results already stored in the database (210) as skin condition change data of other users who applied the skin care program suggested to the user. The algorithm included in the future value derivation unit (240) may derive the future value by selecting the third data by combining existing data determined to be most similar to the first data (the user's skin condition) and existing data determined to be most similar to the second data (the skin care program suggested to the user). In this future value derivation process, the user's age, gender, lifestyle pattern, season, geographical environment, etc. may be taken into consideration, and a predetermined prediction model may be included for this purpose.

[0102] Here, the closest data in relation to the first data may mean, for example, the skin condition data of an existing user that is classified by each item and has a numerical value closest to the user's skin condition output by the skin care program derivation unit (230).

[0103] Furthermore, with respect to the second data, the most similar data may refer to data that reflects the user's intended skin care purpose and the degree of improvement in skin condition. For example, it may be existing data that aligns with the user's intended skin care purpose and has a result value that most closely matches the degree of improvement (e.g., the degree of whitening) in a specific item the user aims for.

[0104] In one embodiment, the skin care program derivation unit (230) and the future value derivation unit (240) can exchange data with each other. For example, when a skin care program derived by a predetermined skin care program derivation unit (230) is applied to a user, an expected future value is derived, and if the future value is below a predetermined standard or does not match the user's intention or goal, the skin care program derivation unit (230) can derive a different skin care program.

[0105] In other words, the future value is not simply a predicted value that predicts the user's skin condition after a certain period of time has passed, but rather a predicted result value when a skin care program suggested to the user is applied based on the user's skin condition data at the present time. However, the result value can be explained as being derived based on the user's skin condition data and existing data close to the suggested skin care program.

[0106]

[0107] <Analysis Department (250)>

[0108] The analysis unit (250) can analyze by comparing the second present value derived from the user's skin condition information (image) obtained at a point in time when the user actually performs the skin care program and the execution period has elapsed with the future value. Here, the second present value refers to a result value of examining the user's skin condition at that point in time using the examination device (400) at a point in time when the user actually performs the skin care program and the execution period has elapsed, and is a concept that is contrasted with the first present value, which is a result value of examining the user's skin condition before the skin care program is performed. The second present value is transmitted to the skin care program providing server (200) and can be stored as the second present value, which is data that is distinguished from the existing present value, by the present value derivation unit (220).

[0109] The analysis unit (250) can compare the second present value with the future value. The comparison can be performed for each item representing the user's skin condition.

[0110] In an embodiment, the analysis unit (250) may determine that an item is successful if the second present value of each item has a numerical value that satisfies the future value (e.g., is greater than or equal to the future value). Furthermore, the analysis unit (250) may provide feedback regarding the results of the item to the user and the skin care program provision server (200). In other words, the analysis unit may determine that the item has improved in condition and may suggest to the user that the skin care program be continued.

[0111] In one embodiment, if the second present value of a specific item falls short (is not satisfied) of the future value by a predetermined margin of error, the item may be judged as a failure and feedback may be provided to the user and skin care program provision server (200). In other words, the item may be judged to have insufficient improvement in condition, and a modified skin care program may be proposed.

[0112] Meanwhile, according to one embodiment, if the second present value of a specific item falls below the future value by a predetermined margin of error, the numerical difference between the second present value and the future value may be reflected in the generation of the future value. That is, the future value provided by the future value derivation unit may be determined to be overestimated and reflected in the generation of the future value later. Meanwhile, if the second present value of a specific item exceeds the future value by a predetermined margin of error, a separate analysis result may be provided for the item and fed back to the user and the skin care program providing server (200). That is, the item may be determined to have particularly excellent improvement in condition and reflected in the generation of the skin care program.

[0113] Meanwhile, according to one embodiment, if the second present value of a specific item exceeds a predetermined margin of error relative to the future value, the numerical difference between the second present value and the future value may be reflected in the generation of the future value. In other words, the future value provided by the future value derivation unit may be determined to be excessively low and reflected in the subsequent generation of the future value.

[0114] In one embodiment, if the second present value of an item specifically set by the user for skin care purposes exceeds or falls short of the error range for the future value, feedback is provided accordingly and the range of correction can be increased.

[0115] For example, if a user performs skin care for the purpose of skin whitening, but the second present value of an item related to skin whitening is less than the future value by a margin of error, the skin care program derivation unit (230) can modify the skin care program to a greater extent.

[0116] Meanwhile, the user can input a skin care service performance history using the user interface, and the analysis unit (250) can evaluate the performance fidelity based on the skin care service performance history. The analysis unit (250) can modify or maintain the skin care program by reflecting the performance fidelity. That is, the analysis unit (250) can determine whether to modify the skin care program by considering the degree of skin care service performance by the user. For example, if the actual skin care service performance history is insufficient compared to the skin care service performance schedule provided to the user, the analysis unit (250) can determine that the performance fidelity is insufficient and can modify or maintain the skin care program by reflecting this.

[0117]

[0118] <Communications Department (260)>

[0119] The communication unit (260) is a communication device that connects the skin care program providing server (200) and the network (100). The communication unit (260) may include, for example, a wired or wireless communication device, and is not limited to a specific means.

[0120]

[0121] <Video Provider (270)>

[0122] The video providing unit (270) can provide a user with a video demonstrating the selected skin care program. The video providing unit (270) may, for example, include a predetermined video production algorithm. The video produced by the video providing unit (270) can be reproduced by a display device (320) provided in the user terminal device (300) and provided to the user. The video may, of course, include audio signals in addition to visual images.

[0123] The video provided by the video providing unit (270) may be a video guiding the user on how to perform a skin care service according to a skin care program. For example, the video provided by the video providing unit (270) may include all information, such as selection of the user terminal device (300), a method of operating the user terminal device (300), a body part to which the user terminal device (300) is applied, and a method of handling the user terminal device (300).

[0124] At this time, according to one embodiment, the demonstration image may be provided as the face of a predetermined influencer or the user's own face. In order to provide the demonstration image, the image providing unit according to the embodiment may have an algorithm that can create an image based on an image of the user obtained from a testing device or a user terminal device, or data stored in a database. According to the embodiment, the image provided by the image providing unit provides an image of the user's own face, and the user can perform skin care while watching a skin care service providing image for the user's own face image, so that skin care can be performed in an accurate manner for the intended area.

[0125] Therefore, user convenience can be improved and users’ willingness to use skin care programs can be encouraged.

[0126]

[0127] <Control unit (280)>

[0128] The control unit (280) can control the care device according to the control values ​​of the care device included in the skin care program. For example, as described below, if the user terminal device (300) includes a plurality of handpiece units providing skin care functions, the control unit (280) can control the operation order, operation time, frequency, intensity, etc. of each handpiece unit. Accordingly, an accurate skin care service can be provided according to the provided skin care program.

[0129] By controlling the care device provided by the control unit (280), the care device can provide a predetermined care mode. The care mode can be recommended or determined by the skin care program providing server (200) according to the user's skin condition, or determined according to the user's selection.

[0130] The types and contents of the care mode are not limited. For example, the care mode may include a whitening care mode, an elasticity care mode, a wrinkle care mode, and a moisturizing care mode.

[0131] For example, the skin care program provision server (200) may recommend or determine a whitening care mode if the color index derived from the user's skin information is below a standard value. Furthermore, the elasticity care mode, wrinkle care mode, and moisturizing care mode may be recommended and determined if each of the predetermined items (elasticity index, wrinkle index, moisture index, etc.) is below a predetermined standard value. However, this is not limited thereto.

[0132] Additionally, if two or more items are below the standard, the care mode can be recommended based on the item with the largest gap between the standard and current values ​​among the items below the standard.

[0133] Meanwhile, a care mode that provides care effects for two or more items may be recommended. For example, a first combination care mode that simultaneously provides color care and whitening care may be included. However, this is not limited to this.

[0134]

[0135] <User terminal device (300)>

[0136] Below, the user terminal device (300) is described in detail.

[0137] FIG. 4 is a drawing showing the appearance of a user terminal device (300) according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a handpiece device (330) included in the user terminal device (300).

[0138] A user terminal device (300) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a base device (310), a display device (320), and a handpiece device (330).

[0139] The base device (310) may be configured as a body in which the handpiece device (330) may be built-in. The base device (310) may have an openable storage space.

[0140] The display device (320) is a device that outputs a signal that can be recognized by a user and allows a user to input a signal.

[0141] According to an embodiment, the display device (320) may be a touch display terminal in the form of a predetermined pad. Accordingly, the display device (320) has a predetermined display unit and can provide images and audio.

[0142] The display device (320) can provide a predetermined input / output interface through the display unit. A user can input various signals and receive information through the input / output interface.

[0143] The display device (320) may be connected to the base device (310). For example, the display device (320) may be connected to the base device (310) via a hinge. Accordingly, when information output and input are required using the skin care device, the display device (320) may be placed in an upright position, and when the skin care device is not in use, the display device (320) may be placed in a lying position to facilitate storage of the skin care device.

[0144] FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a handpiece device (330) of a skin care device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0145] The above handpiece device (330) is a device that can substantially provide a skin care function to a user.

[0146] The handpiece device (330) may include one or more handpiece units. For example, each handpiece unit may provide a predetermined amount of ultrasound, high frequency, current, heat, cold, vibration, light, etc. to the user.

[0147] According to an embodiment, the handpiece device (330) may include a first handpiece unit (332), a second handpiece unit (334), a third handpiece unit (336), and a fourth handpiece unit (338).

[0148] The first to fourth handpiece units (332 to 338) can each provide a predetermined skin care function. The first to fourth handpiece units (332 to 338) can be controlled by a user's input signal or a handpiece device control signal provided from a skin care program providing server (200). Here, the control of the first to fourth handpiece units (332 to 338) can refer to an output value of the first to fourth handpiece units (332 to 338), an operating time, etc.

[0149] For example, the first to fourth handpiece units (332 to 338) may include predetermined operating steps depending on the output value. For example, the operating steps may include the first to fifth steps, and the output value of the operating steps may increase or decrease linearly. However, this is not necessarily limited thereto.

[0150] Each handpiece unit can perform a separate function.

[0151] For example, the first handpiece unit (332) may be a dead skin cell removal unit used to remove dead skin cells from the user's skin. In one example, the first handpiece unit (332) may be an ultrasonic device. The first handpiece unit (332) provides ultrasonic waves and vibrates the skin at a frequency higher than the audible frequency to perform a cleansing action that removes dead skin cells and waste products from the skin, and stimulates the dermis to help blood circulation, thereby providing an effect of improving skin aging.

[0152] The second handpiece unit (334) may be a radiofrequency unit that provides radiofrequency to the user's skin. The radiofrequency unit can stimulate the dermal layer by generating deep heat in the user's skin. This deep heat can also regenerate collagen, resulting in wrinkle improvement and skin lifting effects.

[0153] The third handpiece unit (336) may be a microcurrent providing unit that provides microcurrent to the user's skin. When microcurrent is provided to the user's skin, blood circulation is managed, and the absorption of effective ingredients of care products into the user's skin is promoted, thereby improving skin tone and creating a radiant glow.

[0154] The fourth handpiece unit (338) may be an ultrasound providing unit that provides ultrasound to the user's skin. Preferably, the fourth handpiece unit (338) may be a dual ultrasound providing unit that provides dual ultrasound.

[0155]

[0156] User Interface

[0157] FIG. 6 illustrates a user interface screen provided in a user terminal device (300) of a skin care service provision system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0158] The user terminal device (300) can provide a user interface screen as shown in FIG. 6 through a display device (320).

[0159] The user interface screen can output an image of the user obtained from the inspection device (400). However, it is not limited thereto, and a predetermined image can also be generated and output.

[0160] In addition, the primary present value provided by the present value derivation unit (220), the recommended skin care program derived from the skin care program derivation unit (230), and the primary future value expected when the skin care program is performed can each be output through a user interface.

[0161]

[0162] <Method of Providing Skin Care Services>

[0163] Figures 7 and 8 illustrate a method for providing skin care services by a skin care service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0164] Hereinafter, a method for providing a skin care service by a skin care service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be sequentially described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

[0165] Skin data acquisition step (S1): The user takes a picture of the user's skin using the inspection device (400), and the first skin image obtained by the photographing can be transmitted to the skin care program providing server (200) via the network (100). However, as described above, the data obtained by the inspection device (400) is not necessarily limited to the skin image, and may be any data other than image data.

[0166] First current value derivation step (S2): The current value derivation unit (220) of the skin care program provision server (200) derives the first current value of the user's skin condition using the user's skin condition data.

[0167] Skin care program creation step (S3): The skin care program derivation unit (230) can derive a skin care program that can improve the user's skin condition based on the first current value of the user's skin condition derived from the current value derivation unit (220).

[0168] First Future Value Generation Step (S4): The future value derivation unit (240) can generate the first future value based on the first present value derived in the first present value derivation step, the skin care program derived in the skin care program generation step, and skin condition change data obtained as a result of other existing users using the skin care program. The specific method is as described above in the future value derivation unit (240).

[0169] Step 1: Provision of Skin Care Services (S5): Users can receive skin care services based on a skin care program. The skin care services can be provided through a user terminal device (300) including a skin care device.

[0170] Second current value measurement step (S6): After the skin care service is performed for a predetermined period of time, the user takes a picture of the user's skin at the time the skin care service is completed using the inspection device (400), and the second skin image obtained by taking the picture can be transmitted to the skin care program providing server (200) via the network (100). However, as described above, the data obtained by the inspection device (400) is not necessarily limited to the skin image, and may be any data other than image data. The current value derivation unit (220) of the skin care program providing server (200) uses the obtained data to derive the second current value of the user's skin condition. Here, the second current value refers to the user's skin condition data at the time the skin care service is completed, as described above.

[0171] Analysis step (S7): The skin care program provision server (200) can compare and analyze the second current value and the first future value.

[0172] Figure 8 illustrates the analysis step (S7) in detail, and shows the analysis step (S7) and the steps after the analysis step (S7) is performed.

[0173] The analysis step (S7) can be performed as follows.

[0174] Comparison step of the first future value and the second present value (S7-1): The analysis unit (250) can compare and analyze the second present value and the first future value. As previously explained, the comparison between the second present value and the first future value is performed for each item indicating the skin condition, and can be output as success / fail.

[0175] Skin care program modification step (S7-2): If any item is determined to have failed through comparison between the first future value and the second present value, the skin care program can be modified. The modification of the skin care program can be performed based on the data stored in the database unit (210) and the algorithm of the skin care program derivation unit (230). Of course, if no item is determined to have failed or is below a predetermined standard as a result of the comparison between the first future value and the second present value, the skin care program may not be modified.

[0176] The steps after the above analysis step (S7) is completed may be as follows.

[0177] Second future value generation step (S8): Based on the time point of deriving the second present value, the future value derivation unit (240) can generate the second future value based on the second present value derived in the second present value derivation step, the modified skin care program, and skin condition change data obtained as a result of other existing users using the skin care program.

[0178] Second skin care service provision stage (S9): Users can receive skin care services based on the modified skin care program.

[0179] Thereafter, the above process can be repeated. That is, after the second skin care service is provided and the second skin care service provision is completed, the user's skin data is acquired again and can be provided to the skin care program provision server (200) in the form of a third current value that is distinct from the first current value and the second current value. Then, based on the third current value, the skin care program derivation unit (230) can derive a skin care program that can improve the user's skin condition, and the future value derivation unit (240) can generate a third future value based on the above information.

[0180] FIG. 9 is a drawing showing a usage form of a skin care service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0181] A skin care service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention can provide a skin care service to a user through a user terminal device (300).

[0182] When providing the above skin care service, usage information of the handpiece device (330) may be provided. The usage information of the handpiece device (330) may include the usage order of each handpiece unit, the control method of each handpiece unit, the body part to which the handpiece unit is applied, and the handling method of the handpiece unit (rubbing direction, rubbing shape, etc.).

[0183] The above signals may be provided as visual and auditory signals. For example, when the user's skin texture is determined to be different even when the skin tone and skin trouble information are the same based on the user's skin information, the output information of the handpiece device (300) may be the same, but the handling method (contact direction, etc.) may be different. The skin care service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention can improve skin care efficiency by synthesizing the above information to provide an optimal skin care service.

[0184] In addition, according to an embodiment, the image providing unit (270) provides a skin care program guide image reflecting the user's face, and the image can be provided on the display unit (320). At this time, according to one embodiment, an image of the user actually performing skin care using the handpiece device (330) can be provided simultaneously with the guide image through a user interface provided on the display unit (320). For example, as illustrated in the drawing, the guide image and the mirror image can be provided simultaneously through screen splitting. Accordingly, the user can be guided to use the handpiece device (330) in a manner consistent with the usage method provided by the skin care program. Accordingly, skin care efficiency can be improved.

[0185]

[0186] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a user-customized skin care service can be provided.

[0187] In particular, since a skin care program that reflects the user's skin condition and other user information (schedule, lifestyle pattern, etc.) and a skin care service based on the skin care program are provided, the skin care effect can be increased.

[0188] In addition, the user's skin condition and the results of skin care services can be numerically measured, and the skin care service results can be objectively displayed as an indicator and feedback can be provided by comparing the expected future value with the current skin condition, thereby further enhancing the skin care effect.

[0189]

[0190] FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram of a skin care service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing showing a usage form of the skin care service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0191] According to a skin care service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention, in the skin data acquisition step, the user's emotional information can be acquired when acquiring skin data, and a skin care program can be provided by reflecting the acquired emotional information.

[0192] Derivation of the user's emotional information can be accomplished by obtaining other bio-signal information, such as the user's facial expression and the user's voice, in addition to obtaining the user's skin image using the inspection device (400), and interpreting the information using a predetermined interpretation algorithm.

[0193] Accordingly, the biosignal information may include, in addition to visual signals such as images, auditory signals, tactile signals, and electrical signals such as electric currents, and is not limited to a specific form. To this end, the inspection device (400) may include, in addition to an image acquisition device, various current measuring devices, a voice acquisition device, and the like.

[0194] According to one embodiment, acquisition of biosignal information may be accomplished by having the user take a specific action through a user terminal device (300) or an inspection device (400) and acquiring the user's response information to the action.

[0195] For example, the user terminal device (300) or the inspection device (400) may provide a predetermined text list to the user and allow the user to select a specific text. As another example, the user terminal device (300) or the inspection device (400) may provide a predetermined text to the user and allow the user to read the text. As another example, the user terminal device (300) or the inspection device (400) may provide a predetermined text list to the user, allow the user to select a specific text, and allow the user to read the selected text.

[0196] The selected text or the voice (V) of the user who read the text can be transmitted to the skin care program providing server (200).

[0197] According to an embodiment, the skin care program providing server (200) can derive the emotional state of the user by analyzing the received text, or the voice of the user who reads the text, and the visual image of the user. The data used to derive the emotional state of the user may be selected text information, auditory information such as the tone, intonation, and speed of the voice of the user who reads the text, and visual information such as the user's facial expression. According to an embodiment, the skin care program providing server (200) may include predetermined data and an algorithm that analyzes and processes the data to derive the emotional state of the user. The data and algorithm may be built into the database (210) or the analysis unit (250), or an emotion derivation unit including a separate emotion derivation algorithm may be provided within the skin care program providing server (200).

[0198] For example, when a user is presented with a list of texts, the user's stress index can be inferred based on the text information selected by the user. For example, each text is coded to have a specific stress index, and when the user selects a specific text, the stress index associated with that text can be reflected in the user's stress index.

[0199] As another example, when a given text is provided to a user, if the user's voice being input has a higher tone or a faster input speed than the user's voice being input previously, the user's stress index may be determined to be relatively high.

[0200] Additionally, as an example, it is possible to analyze the acquired user's facial image and derive the user's stress index through the user's facial expression data.

[0201] The skin care service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention can provide a skin care program optimized for the user and improve the user's sensibility by reflecting the user's emotional data in providing a skin care program.

[0202] For example, after a skin care service is provided to a user through a skin care program, the user's emotional state is analyzed in the process of deriving the current value (second current value) after the service is provided, thereby deriving the user's satisfaction with the previous skin care service, and the derivation of a future skin care program can be performed based on the derived user satisfaction.

[0203] As another example, if a user's stress level is determined to be high, a skin care program suitable for relieving the user's stress may be provided. For example, when providing a skin care service using a handpiece device (330), a cool air may be provided to provide a refreshing sensation, or a warm air may be provided to provide a warm sensation, thereby providing a predetermined action with a stress-relieving function while the user is receiving the skin care service.

[0204] Therefore, the skin care service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention can provide users with optimized skin care services. Specifically, by providing a skin care program that reflects the user's emotional state, it can simultaneously provide emotional care in addition to physical care.

[0205] Meanwhile, according to an embodiment, the derivation of the user's emotional state is not limited to the example described above. For example, a user's face image may be provided, and a pulse may be measured using a predetermined region of interest included in the face image to derive a heartbeat interval. At this time, the heartbeat interval may be derived by detecting a peak point in a pulse wave signal. The skin care service providing system according to the embodiment may derive the user's emotional state by calculating a predetermined parameter value using the measured heartbeat interval of the user. Meanwhile, as another example, the user's emotional state may be derived by reflecting the positive / negative, and neutral emotion recognition results detected through feature values ​​(distance between elements, tremor, etc.) calculated from various visual elements (hair, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) detected in the user's face area.

[0206] Additionally, according to an embodiment, the user's emotional state can be derived as a result value classified based on a predetermined standard. For example, the user's emotional state can be derived as three results: positive / neutral / negative. Alternatively, the user's emotional state can be derived as a stress index with ten results ranging from 1 to 10.

[0207]

[0208] FIG. 11 is a conceptual diagram of a skin care service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention, and is a conceptual diagram showing an example of determining user suitability of a skin care program based on environmental information and activity information between the time points of deriving the first current value and the second current value.

[0209] The analysis unit (250) according to one embodiment of the present invention can compare a first current value, which is the current state of the user's skin measured at a specific point in time, with a second current value, which is the current state of the user's skin at a point in time after receiving a skin care program for a predetermined period of time after the point in time.

[0210] Through the above comparison, the suitability of the skin care program provided to the user during the above period can be determined.

[0211] In the above comparison process, the analysis unit (250) can determine the user suitability of the skin care program provided to the user during the period based on the environmental and activity information during the period between the first current value measurement time point and the second current value measurement time point.

[0212] In an embodiment, the environmental information may include, for example, weather information for the area where the user is located. Here, weather information may include any environmental information, such as direct sunlight levels and fine dust levels.

[0213] In addition, according to an embodiment, the activity information may include all activity information, such as information on the user's outdoor activity level and sleep time.

[0214] For example, during the period in which a skin care program is provided to the user, the degree of improvement in the user's skin condition at the second current value measurement time may be different from that at the first current value measurement time depending on the external environment (e.g., weather) to which the user is exposed.

[0215] As an example of the above environmental information, if the weather is clear for a long period during the period in which the skin care program is provided, the user is more likely to be exposed to direct sunlight than if the weather is clear for a relatively short period.

[0216] As another example of environmental information, if there are many periods of high fine dust levels during the period in which a skin care program is provided, the user's skin is more likely to be adversely affected by fine dust than if there are relatively few periods of low fine dust levels.

[0217] Additionally, as an example of the above activity information, if the user is actively engaged in outdoor activities during the period in which the skin care program is provided, the user is more likely to be exposed to direct sunlight than if the user is relatively less actively engaged in outdoor activities.

[0218] As another example of activity information, if a user has less sleep during the period in which a skin care program is provided, the user is more likely to be exposed to stress than if the user has relatively more sleep.

[0219] The above environmental information and activity information can be directly entered into the skin care program providing server (200) by the user, or can be transmitted to the skin care program providing server (200) by other peripheral devices or equipment.

[0220] For example, the environmental information may be information about weather information, ultraviolet ray information, etc. provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration in relation to the user's location.

[0221] For example, activity information may be derived from GPS data generated by a mobile device carried by the user. In other words, data regarding whether the user is outdoors or indoors can be derived based on GPS data generated by the mobile device.

[0222] In this way, the degree of improvement in the skin condition of a user who has received a skin care program may differ depending on the environment to which the user is exposed and the activities performed by the user. Therefore, the analysis unit (250) can utilize the above-mentioned environmental information and activity information to determine the suitability of an existing skin care program and to derive a skin care program to be provided in the future.

[0223] For example, if the second present value is lower than the future value derived at the time of deriving the first present value (i.e., if the second present value does not meet the future value), the analysis unit (250) may determine that the skin care program provided to the user during the corresponding period is not suitable for the user. In this case, if it is determined that the environment to which the user was exposed and the activities performed by the user during the period in which the skin care program was provided to the user had a negative impact on the improvement of the user's skin, the suitability of the skin care program previously provided to the user may be determined based on the above determination.

[0224] For example, during the period during which a skin care program was provided to a user, the user's local UV index and the user's outdoor activity time can be combined to infer the user's exposure to UV rays. This UV exposure can then be indexed and used to determine the suitability of the provided skin care program. For example, the user's skin improvement level and UV exposure can be combined to derive a skin care program to be provided in the future.

[0225] For example, as illustrated in Fig. 11, by reflecting the weather between the first and second present value measurement points and the user's activity information, the gap between the future value and the second present value can be corrected to determine the user suitability of the existing skin care program and to modify the skin care program to be provided later. In Fig. 11, each mark represents the weather (sunny, cloudy, rainy) and the activity level (indoor, commuting, outdoor activity).

[0226] Furthermore, according to one embodiment, the skin care program derivation unit (230) may provide a skin care program to the user based on existing data containing environmental and activity information most similar to the user's environmental and activity information. For example, among existing skin care programs, an existing skin care program that is similar to the user's skin condition (user skin information), emotional information, environmental information, and activity information and has been shown to be most effective in improving skin condition may be provided to the user. Accordingly, a skin care program proven to be substantially effective may be provided to the user.

[0227] The skin care service provision system according to the embodiment can determine the user suitability of a skin care program provided to the user based on information about the user's surrounding environment and activities. Therefore, the degree of skin improvement and suitability of the provided skin care program can be more objectively determined.

[0228]

[0229] Meanwhile, according to one embodiment, as described above, the skin care program derivation unit (230) can derive a skin care program by reflecting the care purpose input by the user, and can also correct the derived skin care program by reflecting information related to the user. Accordingly, the skin care program derivation unit (230) may include a separate correction unit (not shown) that performs correction of the skin care program based on information related to the user using the skin care program and skin care program usage data of other users. The correction unit may be included in the skin care program derivation unit (230), but may also be included as a part other than the skin care program derivation unit (230) in the skin care program providing server (200).

[0230] For example, a user can transmit a skin care purpose to a skin care program providing server (200) using a user terminal device (300), and the skin care program derivation unit (230) can adjust the skin care program to reflect the user's skin care purpose and derive a new skin care program. The purpose may be, for example, whitening, elasticity enhancement, wrinkle reduction, blemish removal, etc. For example, if the user inputs skin whitening as the purpose, a skin care program related to whitening can be derived.

[0231] Next, the correction unit can correct the skin care program related to whitening based on information related to the user using the skin care program and data on the use of skin care programs by other users.

[0232] First, let's look at an example of a skin care program being adjusted based on the user's emotional information.

[0233] For example, if the user's previously acquired emotional information is determined to be negative, the correction unit may correct the skin care program related to skin whitening derived based on the user's previously input purpose, thereby providing a skin care program that provides a stress-relieving effect. An example of a skin care program that provides a stress-relieving effect in addition to skin whitening is the provision of additional cold or warm air at a predetermined temperature during skin whitening.

[0234] As another example, let's look at an example of adjusting a skin care program based on the user's surroundings and activity information.

[0235] For example, if it is determined that the user's skin is highly exposed to UV rays based on the user's previously acquired surrounding environment information or activity information, the correction unit may correct the skin care program related to skin whitening derived according to the purpose previously input by the user to provide a skin care program that recovers skin damage caused by UV rays and provides a UV blocking effect. As an example, as an example of a skin care program that provides a recovery effect for skin damage caused by UV rays in addition to skin whitening, the skin recovery effect may be enhanced by providing a predetermined high frequency or microcurrent during skin whitening.

[0236] As another example, let's look at an example of adjusting a skin care program based on data from other users' skin care program usage:

[0237] For example, if the existing usage data of another user is identified as having the highest skin improvement effect and having the most similar data to the previously acquired user's skin condition, emotional information, surrounding environment information, or activity information, the correction unit may correct a skin care program related to a specific purpose (e.g., skin whitening) derived according to the purpose previously input by the user and provide a corrected skin care program. Here, the usage data derived as having the highest skin improvement effect may be the case where the improvement value is the greatest when comparing the current value before and after using the skin care program. Alternatively, it may be the case where the degree of agreement between the future value derived before using the skin care program and the current value derived after using the skin care program is the greatest. In other words, the degree of skin improvement effect may be determined differently according to a predetermined standard.

[0238] When the skin care program is corrected by the correction unit as described above, the future value derivation unit (240) can derive the corrected future value based on the corrected skin care program.

[0239] As described above, the skin care program derivation unit (230) provides a skin care program by reflecting information related to the user and skin care program usage data of other users in addition to the purpose intended by the user, so that the skin care program can be advanced.

[0240] For example, FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a correction process of the skin care program described above. First, a user inputs a skin care purpose (SA1). A skin care program derivation unit (230) derives a first skin care program that matches the skin care program purpose input by the user (SA2). Next, related information such as the user's emotional information, activity information, environmental information, and existing skin care program usage data of other users described above are provided to the skin care program derivation unit (230) (SA3). A correction unit corrects the first skin care program based on the related information (SA4). When the first skin care program is corrected by the correction unit, a corrected second skin care program is derived (SA5). Next, a future value can be modified or derived based on the second skin care program (SA6). A skin care service according to the second skin care program as described above can be provided to the user (SA7). At this time, the skin care service providing system may ask the user whether to receive a skin care program based on the adjusted second skin care program or a skin care program based on the first skin care program before adjustment, and guide the user's choice. As described above, by providing a skin care program that reflects relevant information and is adjusted to meet the user's skin care goals, the skin care service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention can provide an advanced skin care program.
