Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional cosmetics trend analysis methods primarily focus on a supplier-oriented perspective, leading to inefficiencies in new product planning and marketing due to the inability to accurately predict trends from a customer's viewpoint, resulting in reduced market responsiveness.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that provide a cosmetics trend prediction service by extracting tags and keywords from cosmetics-related product and social data, analyzing trends from a customer's perspective, and visualizing predictions in real-time, using a platform server connected to user terminals, which includes a communication unit, preprocessing unit, tag generating unit, keyword extracting unit, and cosmetics trend prediction unit.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional supplier-oriented trend analysis methods are used, then manufacturers can maintain traditional research processes, but the accuracy of trend prediction and market responsiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrend prediction accuracyVSAvoiddata processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex data processing system into distinct functional modules: data collection module, preprocessing module, tag generation module, keyword extraction module, and trend prediction module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, making the overall complex system manageable and maintainable while achieving accurate customer-oriented trend predictions through systematic data processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary components such as the preprocessing unit that bridges raw data and analysis results, and the tag/keyword extraction units that mediate between unstructured data and trend predictions. These intermediaries transform complex raw data into structured, analyzable formats, enabling accurate trend prediction without requiring the entire system to handle full complexity at once

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If real-time customer-oriented trend analysis is implemented, then market responsiveness improves, but data processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemarket responsivenessVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing data, generating tags, and extracting keywords in advance before actual trend analysis is needed. This preparation work is done continuously in the background, so when trend prediction is required, the system can quickly produce results using pre-processed data, thereby improving market responsiveness without excessive processing delays

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous data collection, preprocessing, and analysis operations rather than batch processing. This continuous operation ensures that the system is always ready to provide real-time trend predictions, improving productivity and market responsiveness while distributing computational load over time to avoid excessive processing time at any single moment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
