Solution Overview

Problem

Existing beauty ritual systems fail to adapt daily to changing skin physiological parameters and environmental conditions, leading to overconsumption and waste of products, as they often rely on unreliable measurements and do not account for lifestyle variations.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines a generic beauty ritual based on initial physiological parameters, with iterative adjustments according to lifestyle and environmental measurements, using sensors and diagnostic tools like questionnaires, image analysis, and patches to optimize product usage and reduce waste.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a standard beauty ritual is provided to all users, then product manufacturing and distribution is simplified, but the ritual does not adapt to individual physiological parameters and environmental conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAdaptability of beauty ritual to individual user needsVSAvoidComplexity of measurement and diagnostic system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The beauty ritual is segmented into multiple components (cleanser, treatment product, moisturizer) that can be independently selected and adjusted based on individual physiological parameters and environmental conditions, allowing customization without requiring a completely new system for each user

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes multiple parameters simultaneously including physiological parameters (skin hydration, sebum production), environmental parameters (pollution levels, temperature), and lifestyle parameters (stress levels, sleep quality) to dynamically adjust the beauty ritual recommendations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If products are frequently updated based on environmental variations, then the ritual remains relevant to current conditions, but product consumption increases and waste is generated

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveResponsiveness of ritual to environmental changesVSAvoidProduct waste and overconsumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The beauty ritual is designed as a dynamic system that continuously adapts to changing environmental and physiological conditions while optimizing product usage quantities, allowing the same product to be used more effectively over time rather than replacing it

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates continuous feedback loops where physiological measurements, environmental sensor data, and user compliance information are used to adjust future product recommendations and dosages, reducing waste by preventing both overuse and underuse of products

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If measurements are performed without verifying measurement conditions, then the diagnostic process is simplified, but the reliability of physiological parameter data decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSimplicity of measurement processVSAvoidReliability of physiological parameter measurements
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Measurement conditions are verified before actual physiological measurements are taken, ensuring that devices are properly positioned, environmental conditions are appropriate, and measurement protocols are followed, thereby guaranteeing data reliability without complicating the overall process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Ease of manufacture

If a beauty ritual is designed for uninterrupted use over one month, then product formulation is simplified, but it cannot adapt to daily variations in skin physiological parameters

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSimplicity of product formulationVSAvoidAbility to vary treatment daily according to skin needs
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static monthly formulations to dynamic daily recommendations, where product selections and dosages are adjusted based on real-time physiological measurements and environmental conditions, enabling adaptation without compromising manufacturing feasibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A method is for determining a beauty ritual. The method includes performing a beauty diagnosis of a user, and determining a generic beauty ritual including a set of recommended products selected according to the beauty diagnosis. Each recommended product is associated with a generic dosage and a generic prescription for use. The method further includes measuring, over time, the external stress undergone by the user with an environment sensor carried by the user during a period of time. At each increment of the period, the generic dosage and/or the generic prescription for use of the generic beauty ritual is modified based on the measured external stress to obtain a beauty ritual with recommended products having a dosage and/or a prescription for use enabling to respond to the external stress undergone by the user.
