Solution Overview

Problem

Existing makeup recommendation technologies fail to provide user satisfaction as they rely on static facial features and user preferences, leading to uniform and unattractive makeup suggestions, and lack feedback mechanisms to adjust recommendations based on user experience.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that receives face and needs information, determines personalized makeup recommendations, presents them to users, and collects evaluation feedback to iteratively improve the recommendation model, ensuring user satisfaction by adapting to individual preferences and techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If makeup recommendations are based on static facial features and user preferences, then the recommendation system is simple to implement, but the makeup patterns become uniform and fail to provide user satisfaction over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemakeup recommendation varietyVSAvoidrecommendation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by transitioning from static facial feature analysis to dynamic evaluation that incorporates real-time makeup application results. The system continuously updates user profiles based on actual application feedback, enabling recommendations to adapt to changing user needs and techniques over time, thereby resolving the contradiction between recommendation variety and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a feedback mechanism where users evaluate the makeup application results, and this evaluation information is fed back into the recommendation system. This feedback loop enables the system to learn from actual user experience and continuously improve recommendations, addressing the uniformity problem while managing complexity through iterative refinement rather than overly complex initial design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If makeup recommendations are based on user preferences, then the system is easy to operate, but the desired finish cannot be obtained due to user lack of skill in technique

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemakeup recommendation effectivenessVSAvoiduser operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that bridges the gap between user preferences and actual makeup results. The system acts as a mediator by providing detailed evaluation information about application results and using this information to refine recommendations, thereby improving reliability without requiring users to manually adjust complex parameters or demonstrate advanced techniques.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If the system collects evaluation information from users, then recommendation accuracy improves, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser satisfaction measurement accuracyVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by having users provide evaluation information about their own makeup application results. This user-generated feedback mechanism enables accurate measurement of satisfaction without requiring complex external evaluation systems, thereby improving measurement precision while keeping system complexity manageable by leveraging user expertise rather than requiring sophisticated automated assessment infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
