Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional cosmetic manufacturing apparatuses take a long time to produce customized cosmetics, require inconvenient user operations, and do not consider individual user preferences for skin condition and cosmetic preferences.

Innovation Solution

A cosmetic manufacturing apparatus that calculates a composition ratio based on user skin condition and purchase history, automating the manufacturing process by integrating a measurement sensor, operating server, and user interface to discharge cosmetic materials according to personalized ratios.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If conventional cosmetic manufacturing apparatus measures skin condition and manufactures cosmetic sequentially, then cosmetic can be customized according to skin condition, but manufacturing time becomes very long

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization accuracyVSAvoidmanufacturing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating multiple composition ratios (first ratio based on skin condition, second ratio modified by purchase history, third ratio combining both) before the actual manufacturing process. This allows the system to quickly select and adjust the most appropriate composition ratio during manufacturing, significantly reducing the time required while maintaining high customization accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the composition ratio during the manufacturing process based on real-time data. It can switch between different composition ratios (first, second, third ratios) depending on the user's preferences and skin condition, enabling flexible customization without requiring complete remanufacturing, thus reducing overall manufacturing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional cosmetic manufacturing apparatus requires operator to couple lid and discharging member, then assembly can be completed, but user convenience deteriorates due to additional operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly completionVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus performs self-service by automatically coupling the lid and discharging member without requiring operator intervention. The control unit coordinates the assembly process, causing the lid and discharging member to be automatically attached to the cosmetic container, eliminating manual operations and improving user convenience while ensuring proper assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If conventional cosmetic manufacturing apparatus only considers skin condition for composition ratio, then cosmetic can be customized for skin health, but user preference for cosmetic characteristics is not reflected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin condition matchingVSAvoidpreference adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the composition ratio based on multiple factors including skin condition, user purchase history, and cosmetic preferences. It can switch between different composition ratios (first ratio for skin condition, second ratio for purchase history, third ratio combining both) to adapt to varying user needs, enhancing both skin health customization and cosmetic characteristic preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from user purchase history and preferences to modify the composition ratio. By analyzing what cosmetics the user has previously purchased and liked, the system adjusts the composition ratio to better match user preferences while maintaining skin health benefits, creating a more versatile and personalized cosmetic product.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
