Skin Inspection Gesture Interaction for Hands-Free Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing skin detection products require cumbersome operations and may spread bacteria due to hardware accessories, and manual selection of skin care/makeup products is inconvenient, especially when using both hands for screen interaction.
Innovation Solution
An interaction method for an electronic device that recognizes user gestures in real-time images to detect skin states and provide suggestions, allowing intuitive and natural interaction without the need for additional hardware and reducing the number of operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If comprehensive detection on entire skin is performed, then detection coverage is improved, but operation complexity increases as user needs to enter specified functional pages multiple times to view different analysis results
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the comprehensive skin detection results into different functional categories (skin color, pores, fine lines, etc.) that are automatically displayed in separate modules on the same page. This allows users to view all detection aspects without manually navigating to different pages, resolving the contradiction between comprehensive detection coverage and operation complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple detection result modules into a single integrated display page, combining skin color analysis, pore detection, fine line detection, and other results together. This consolidation eliminates the need for users to perform multiple separate operations to view different analysis results, reducing operation complexity while maintaining comprehensive detection coverage.
2Measurement precision
If additional hardware accessory (beauty detector) is used for skin detection, then detection accuracy is improved, but hygiene risk increases due to potential bacteria spread and cross infection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the device's built-in camera to capture images of the user's skin, creating a visual copy of the skin surface for analysis. This replaces the need for physical contact with hardware accessories like beauty detectors, maintaining detection accuracy through image processing while eliminating hygiene risks associated with shared hardware contact with users' faces.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical contact-based detection system (beauty detector requiring physical contact with skin) with an optical detection system using camera imaging. This replacement maintains the ability to detect skin conditions accurately while eliminating the mechanical contact that causes bacteria spread and cross infection risks.
3Measurement precision
If manual selection of skin care/makeup products is required, then product selection accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates when user needs to use both hands for screen interaction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a voice-activated system that allows users to select skin care and makeup products through voice commands rather than manual screen interaction. The system automatically processes the selection based on voice input, enabling accurate product selection while freeing both of the user's hands for makeup application or other tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces voice recognition as an intermediary between the user and the product selection system. Instead of direct manual interaction with the screen, the user's voice serves as the mediator to convey selection intent, allowing accurate product selection without requiring hand-screen contact and improving ease of operation during makeup processes.

AI summary
This application provides an interaction method for an electronic device for skin detection and an electronic device. In the method, a hand action and a face of a user are recognized, so as to determine a target hand action, and a detection target corresponding to the hand action of the user is determined based on the target hand action. The electronic device determines, from an extended content library based on the detection target and a shape of the detection target, extended content associated with the detection target and the shape of the detection target, and outputs the extended content. According to the interaction method for the electronic device for skin detection and the electronic device in the embodiments of this application, a gesture of the user and an intention indicated by the gesture can be accurately recognized through a real-time image of the user in a skin care or makeup process, and skin state information corresponding to the gesture and a skin care or makeup processing suggestion are provided. In this way, an interaction process is more natural and smooth, and user experience is improved.
