Solution Overview

Problem

The rapid change in makeup trends makes it difficult for existing systems to accurately assist users in selecting appropriate makeup, as they often lack real-time fashion awareness and may suggest inappropriate options if not updated with the latest fashion trends.

Innovation Solution

A system that collects makeup information from multiple users, analyzes this data to determine fashionable trends, and uses this analysis to set selection criteria for suggesting appropriate makeup options, ensuring timely relevance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If makeup options are continuously updated to reflect latest fashion trends, then the relevance and appropriateness of suggested makeup improves, but the complexity of maintaining and updating the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to fashion trendsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically collects makeup application information from multiple users and performs trend analysis without requiring manual intervention. The makeup collecting section gathers data on what makeup users are actually applying, the makeup analyzing section processes this data to identify fashionable trends, and the makeup presenting section automatically updates suggestions based on analyzed trends, enabling the system to self-update fashion trends

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop where user makeup application data is collected, analyzed for trends, and then used to update future makeup suggestions. This continuous feedback mechanism ensures the system adapts to changing fashion trends automatically, with the makeup analyzing section processing real user behavior data to refine and update trend patterns over time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If a large number of makeup options are provided to users, then the variety and choice available to users increases, but the time and effort required for users to select appropriate makeup increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemakeup option varietyVSAvoidselection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and highlights only the most fashionable and relevant makeup options from the entire available makeup database. The makeup presenting section presents a limited set of recommended makeup items that are specifically selected based on the trend analysis results, allowing users to quickly identify suitable makeup without being overwhelmed by the full range of available options

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual makeup selection with an automated recommendation mechanism. Instead of relying on users to manually browse and evaluate numerous makeup options, the makeup presenting section automatically generates personalized recommendations based on analyzed fashion trends and user preferences, significantly reducing the time and effort required for makeup selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
