Skin State Chart Image with Petal-Shaped Score Areas
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for displaying skin state measurement results using numbers, line graphs, or radar charts are difficult for users to intuitively understand, making it hard to determine if the results are good or bad, and fail to evoke a sense of delight even with positive results.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that acquires skin state measurement results and displays them as a chart image with multiple areas, each representing a measurement item, with score images inside the areas that expand in size corresponding to their scores, arranged in a petal shape, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of skin state and life habits to be displayed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If measurement results are displayed using numbers, line graphs, or radar charts, then the information is presented in a theoretical and mathematical format, but it becomes difficult for users to intuitively understand whether the results are good or bad
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses color-coded score images (e.g., green for high scores, yellow for medium, red for low) to represent measurement results. This allows users to instantly grasp the quality of skin state without needing to interpret numerical values or graphical charts, directly resolving the contradiction between information retention and intuitive understanding.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms one-dimensional numerical data into two-dimensional visual representations with spatial relationships. Score images are arranged in specific patterns (e.g., radial arrangement around a center point) where the distance from the center and the size of images encode additional information layers, making complex data intuitively comprehensible.
2Ease of operation
If traditional chart formats are used to display measurement results, then the data can be presented systematically, but users cannot easily determine if the results are good or bad
Solution Approach 1:
Different colors are assigned to different score ranges, enabling users to immediately evaluate result quality without cognitive effort. For example, green indicates satisfactory skin state while red indicates problems, making result interpretation as easy as color recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
The display is segmented into multiple score images, each representing a specific measurement item (e.g., pore state, texture, spot). This segmentation allows users to easily evaluate each aspect separately while maintaining overall clarity through the organized layout of individual score components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If numerical or graphical data formats are used, then measurement information can be conveyed, but users do not experience delight or motivation even with good results
Solution Approach 1:
The use of vibrant, naturally-associated colors (green for healthy skin, red for problematic areas) creates an emotionally resonant display that motivates users. Good results appear visually pleasing and rewarding, while areas needing improvement are clearly identified without being overly alarming, maintaining user engagement.
Solution Approach 2:
By adding spatial dimension and visual hierarchy to the data presentation, the system creates a more engaging user experience. The radial arrangement and varying sizes of score images create visual interest and guide user attention, transforming dry data into an aesthetically pleasing and motivating display.

AI summary
There is provided an information processing apparatus including: an acquisition unit that acquires measurement results of a user's skin state; and a presentation unit that displays a chart image configured by arranging a plurality of areas, to which a plurality of items of the measurement results are assigned, having a same shape and a same size in respective directions with a predetermined position used as the center and arranging score images representing scores of the items inside each of the areas so as to have sizes corresponding to the scores and to expand from the predetermined position.
