Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for performing cosmetic processes on images require manual selection of options and parameters, which is inefficient and unintelligent.

Innovation Solution

A method that automatically recognizes faces in images, acquires character features, and matches corresponding cosmetic process modes to process the images, eliminating the need for manual parameter setting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual selection of cosmetic process options and parameters is used, then user control over processing details is improved, but processing efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser controlVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs cosmetic process selection and parameter setting based on facial feature recognition, eliminating the need for manual user input. The device serves itself by autonomously determining appropriate processing parameters for different facial regions and features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-establishes multiple cosmetic process modes (whitening, freckle removing, slimming, etc.) and their corresponding parameters in advance. When processing an image, it automatically selects and applies the pre-configured mode that matches the detected facial features, avoiding real-time manual parameter adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If automatic face recognition and feature analysis is implemented, then processing speed is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automatic processing system is divided into distinct functional modules: face detection module, feature extraction module, mode selection module, and image processing module. Each module performs a specific task, making the overall complex system manageable and maintainable through clear separation of concerns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses parameter-based control where different cosmetic modes are represented as distinct parameter sets. By changing parameters (mode selection) rather than restructuring the system architecture, the patent achieves multiple processing functions without proportionally increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
