Skin State Analysis Correlating Subjective Input with Objective Measurements
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies in the beauty field fail to effectively associate subjective user input with objective skin measurement data, resulting in a disconnect between the user's perceived state and actual skin state, leading to ineffective presentation of useful information.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that calculates correlations between user-input information and skin measurement data, extracts the most relevant information, and adjusts display formats to simultaneously show both subjective and objective data, highlighting changes and correlations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If subjective user input data and objective skin measurement data are collected separately without association, then data collection is simple, but the usefulness of information presented to users is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines subjective user input data (first information) and objective skin measurement data (second information) into a unified data structure. The correlation calculation unit integrates these separate data sources by calculating correlation coefficients between corresponding data points, creating a combined dataset that preserves both types of information while enabling their joint analysis and presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a correlation coefficient as an intermediary metric that bridges subjective user input and objective measurement data. This correlation coefficient serves as a mediator that quantifies the relationship between the two data types, enabling the system to associate and present them meaningfully without directly merging the raw data themselves.
2Loss of information
If all user input data and measurement data are displayed simultaneously, then complete information is provided, but display complexity and user comprehension difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and highlights only the specific first information (subjective input) that shows strong correlation with the second information (objective measurement). The specific information extraction unit identifies and separates the most relevant subjective data points based on correlation coefficients, presenting only these extracted elements alongside the measurement data rather than displaying all possible data combinations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different display treatments to different types of information based on their correlation strength. High-correlation subjective input data is displayed with special formatting or emphasis alongside corresponding measurement data, while low-correlation data is either downplayed or excluded. This local differentiation optimizes display effectiveness by focusing attention on the most relevant information pairs.

AI summary
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing system, which are capable of presenting useful information to a user. A correlation calculation unit finds correlation between a plurality of pieces of first information input by a user and one or more pieces of second information obtained as values by measuring the user. A specific information extraction unit extracts, as specific first information, at least first information highest in correlation with the second information among the plurality of pieces of first information. A display unit performs adjustment for simultaneously displaying the specific first information and the second information. The present technology can be applied to an information processing apparatus analyzing a skin state of a user, for example.
