Skin Detection Simulating Aging Effects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current skin detection applications on mobile devices fail to intuitively convey the progression of skin problems over time, leading to low user acceptance of skin care suggestions.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device method that simulates the aging or de-aging of detected skin issues, such as color spots or fine lines, by adjusting pixel values in specific channels to display a visual representation of future skin changes, allowing users to understand and address problems timely.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If skin detection is performed using standard image processing algorithms, then skin problems can be identified, but users cannot intuitively understand the progression of skin issues over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates simulated facial images that copy and represent the progression of skin problems over time. By generating virtual images showing how skin issues would deteriorate without intervention, the system preserves and communicates skin change information in an intuitive visual format that users can easily understand
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies color changes to visually represent skin problem progression. By modifying image colors to simulate aging effects and skin deterioration, the system transforms abstract skin health data into intuitive visual information that clearly shows users how their skin conditions would change over time
2Adaptability or versatility
If skin care suggestions are provided based on detected problems, then users receive treatment guidance, but user acceptance remains low due to lack of intuitive understanding
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism by showing users simulated images of their future skin condition if they don't follow care suggestions. This visual feedback demonstrates the consequences of inaction, making the skin care guidance more persuasive and increasing user acceptance by allowing users to see the potential outcomes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary visualization of skin problem progression before users commit to skin care routines. By showing users how their skin would deteriorate over time without intervention, the system prepares users mentally and emotionally, making them more receptive to subsequent skin care recommendations

AI summary
A skin detection and evaluation method includes: obtaining a face image of a user; detecting a skin problem that appears in the face image; prompting in a first interface, the user that the skin problem appears on a face, wherein the first interface comprises the face image; and displaying a second interface in response to a first operation performed by the user in the first interface, wherein the second interface comprises a first facial simulated image obtained after the skin problem is aged; or displaying a third interface in response to a second operation performed by the user in the first interface, wherein the third interface comprises a second facial simulated image obtained after the skin problem is de-aged.
