Cosmetic Search System Integrating Tactile Sensation Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems cannot effectively present cosmetics that provide a desired tactile sensation to consumers, as they only display suitable cosmetic components without considering the texture or tactile sensation.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that stores and associates coating material information with tactile sensation data, allowing users to input search criteria for specific textures and sensations, and presents corresponding coating material information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the system displays cosmetic components based on user parameters, then the suitability of cosmetic components for consumers is improved, but the ability to present cosmetics with desired tactile sensation is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines cosmetic component information with tactile sensation information into a unified database structure. The server integrates both types of data and presents them together when processing user searches, allowing consumers to find cosmetics that satisfy both component suitability and tactile sensation preferences simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that receives user parameters including tactile sensation preferences, processes this information against the integrated database, and returns matching cosmetic recommendations. This intermediary function enables the system to handle both component suitability and tactile sensation requirements without direct user complexity.
2Ease of manufacture
If the system focuses on displaying cosmetic components, then component matching is improved, but tactile sensation search capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system is designed to perform multiple functions: it can search for cosmetics based on component suitability, tactile sensation preferences, or combinations of both. The server and database structure support versatile query types, making the system adaptable to different consumer needs without requiring separate specialized systems.
3Device complexity
If conventional search systems are used, then simple component display is achieved, but consumer satisfaction for tactile sensation requirements is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing by pre-organizing both cosmetic component data and tactile sensation data in an integrated database structure before user queries are submitted. This preliminary organization enables the server to efficiently process diverse search requests and return accurate results without adding complexity to the user interface or search process.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a means for storing coating material information on coating material, and tactile sensation information in which the tactile sensation when each coating material is applied to the skin is recorded, the coating material information and the tactile sensation information is associated with each other, a means for acquiring search criteria for at least one of tactile sensations and textures, identifying at least one tactile sensation information corresponding to the acquired search criteria, and a means for presenting the coating material information associated with the identified tactile sensation information.
