Problem
Existing cosmetics systems struggle to provide personalized solutions tailored to individual skin conditions, as each user has unique skin features and troubles, making it difficult to meet their specific needs with standard cosmetics.
Innovation Solution
A customized cosmetics provision system that includes a diagnosis device for assessing a user's skin condition, a skin management server for recommending tailored cosmetics, and a manufacturing apparatus for producing customized products based on the diagnosed skin type and recommended ingredients.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If various types of cosmetics are provided according to skin type and function, then the diversity of cosmetic products is improved, but the ability to meet individual user needs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the cosmetic provision system into multiple functional modules: a diagnosis device for analyzing skin conditions, a server for processing diagnosis results and recommending cosmetics, and a manufacturing apparatus for producing customized products. This segmentation enables personalized customization while maintaining system efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of cosmetic products based on individual skin condition parameters. The diagnosis device measures specific skin parameters (moisture, oil, elasticity, etc.), and the manufacturing apparatus adjusts cosmetic formulation parameters (ingredient types, concentrations, ratios) to match the diagnosed skin parameters, achieving precise personalization.
2Manufacturing precision
If customized cosmetics are manufactured based on individual skin diagnosis, then the precision of skin condition matching is improved, but the complexity of the provision system deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal server that handles multiple functions: receiving diagnosis data from various diagnosis devices, processing skin condition analysis, generating cosmetic recommendations, and communicating with manufacturing apparatus. This multi-functional server reduces overall system complexity by consolidating control functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the diagnosis device and the manufacturing apparatus. It receives diagnosis results, processes them to determine appropriate cosmetic formulations, and transmits manufacturing instructions to the production system, thereby simplifying the interface between diagnostic and manufacturing components.
3Ease of operation
If cosmetics are provided at multiple locations including mobile terminals and sales places, then the accessibility of customized cosmetics is improved, but the complexity of distribution logistics deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic provision system where the delivery location is not fixed but adapts based on user needs. The system can provide cosmetics at mobile terminals (for immediate digital delivery or nearby pickup), at sales places (for physical store pickup), or at delivery addresses (for home delivery), making the distribution network flexible and responsive.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where user location information, purchase history, and skin condition data are continuously collected and analyzed. This feedback enables the system to optimize provision locations and methods, balancing accessibility improvements with logistics efficiency through data-driven decision-making.

AI summary
Discussed is a customized cosmetics provision system including a diagnosis device for diagnosing a skin condition, recommending customized cosmetics based on a diagnosis result of the skin condition, and transmitting information on the recommended customized cosmetics to a manufacturing apparatus, and the manufacturing apparatus that receives information on the customized cosmetics from the diagnosis device and provides the customized cosmetics based on the received information on the customized cosmetics. The diagnosis device can output a message to re-diagnose the skin condition when an environmental condition for diagnosing the skin condition do not meet a predetermined condition.
