Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention searches online for the most suitable cosmetic ingredients to meet the requirements of users of cosmetics (hereinafter simply referred to as "users"), and meets the requirements of users. The present invention relates to a system for calculating a combination of cosmetic composition components and providing a cosmetic recipe for a user individually, and more specifically, various users from an individual user who actually uses the cosmetics or a specialist such as a hairdresser. The combination of cosmetic ingredients according to the required items, the blending ratio, etc.
Calculated based on the ingredient mixture data for each usage condition accumulated in advance as data, and the presence or absence of a cosmetic recipe containing the calculated cosmetic ingredient mixture data is extracted by searching the database of cosmetic recipes and contains the optimum matching data. The search results are output in order from the cosmetic recipe to be displayed on the display device, and if the corresponding cosmetic recipe is not included in the cosmetic database, a new cosmetic recipe is created based on the calculated cosmetic combination component combination data. The present invention relates to a system for providing a cosmetics recipe desired by a user by outputting the cosmetics recipe for display on a display device, and assisting the user in deciding and creating a selection of a cosmetics recipe required by the user.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, many technical terms are used for labeling ingredients of cosmetics, and it is difficult for general users to select the cosmetics after fully understanding the effect of the ingredients. It was Therefore, when selecting cosmetics by the general user, the user visits a cosmetics department such as a department store to inspect the skin condition, and a salesperson recommends cosmetics that are suitable for his or her skin. Most of them are purchased, and in many cases, the cosmetics to be used are decided based on advertisements, advertisements, user's word-of-mouth information, the user's past experience, or the user's trial and error, etc. Even a beautician requires extremely specialized knowledge to become familiar with all the effects of the ingredients contained in cosmetics, so it is not easy to select a cosmetic that suits the skin of the customer. As with general users, it was common to select a product by observing the cosmetic ingredients having a known effect contained in the cosmetics produced by the manufacturer and deciding the cosmetics to be used. Also, in the cosmetics industry where products are being developed steadily, it is extremely difficult for the user to select a cosmetic product that satisfies the cosmetics recipe most suitable for his or her intended purpose or environment from a large number of commercially available cosmetic products. Even if it is a professional hairdresser, even if it is a professional hairdresser, depending on changes in external conditions such as customer's life pattern, behavior pattern, weather, etc., select the optimum cosmetics recipe from known cosmetics recipes, or , There were very few beauticians who could create new optimal cosmetic recipes.

[0003]

Conventionally, general users,
Alternatively, there have been the following problems regarding the selection and use of cosmetics by professionals in the beauty and beauty industry, the beauty treatment industry, the cosmetics sales industry, and the like. That is, the use of cosmetics is not only used for beauty, but cosmetic ingredients are important also in terms of skin care for maintaining healthy skin. Although it is important to accurately grasp the condition and select a cosmetic that consists of the most suitable cosmetic recipe, it is not easy for the user to accurately grasp the skin condition and select the cosmetic. It was

[0004] However, even though it is the condition of the skin, there are various contents, and the condition of the skin depends on the morphology of the skin surface reflecting the modulation of keratinization and the degree of aging, and the amino acids in the stratum corneum. Transdermal water loss (TWL: Transepidermal w), which is an index of the stratum corneum moisture content and barrier function of the stratum corneum
ater loss), parakeratosis indicating the degree to which keratinocytes with incomplete nuclei are produced, skin quality determined by the ratio of sebum and water content, and changes in the skin condition due to pathological causes, etc. Many factors are related to the evaluation of the condition of, and in addition, it changes every day depending on the age, environment, living behavior of the user, etc. It is almost impossible to know exactly the skin condition of each person, and it is extremely difficult to select the most suitable cosmetic recipe for the daily skin condition.

Further, the cosmetic data available to the general user at the cosmetics department of a department store is only general-purpose data obtained from fixed time and conditions, and the state of skin changes of an individual can be calculated as a function of time. It is not always cosmetic data that is correctly grasped and extracted over time, and there are individual differences in the compatibility of the skin with cosmetics or ingredients, but general cosmetic data obtained at department store cosmetics stores It is almost impossible to select the cosmetics of the cosmetics recipe that is suitable for each person's skin. In addition, the conventional method requires the user to go to the cosmetics department of the department store, etc. I couldn't get the cosmetics data.

[0006] In addition, since the salesperson of the cosmetics department of the department store or the cosmetics store recommends the cosmetics of the affiliated company, it was not possible to obtain objective information about the cosmetics data, the cosmetic ingredients, the efficacy, etc. . That is, the composition of cosmetic ingredients produced by a cosmetic maker is not necessarily optimal for the usage conditions of individual users who actually use it.
Inevitably, it was the greatest common denominator that could be used by more users, and the effect as a cosmetic product was also average.

[0007] However, the usage of cosmetics by general users varies widely, and even if the same user uses the cosmetics depending on the behavior pattern of the day or external conditions such as weather. Since the required conditions are different, it is desirable to select a cosmetic recipe according to various conditions and change the cosmetics used. By the way, a general user selects, from his or her own experience, the most suitable cosmetics according to the external conditions such as the action pattern of the day and the weather, among the cosmetics that he has. However, the selection is not always based on scientific grounds, and sometimes cosmetics with wrong cosmetic recipes are often selected.

In addition, cosmetics also contain additives such as preservatives, which are not originally required for the function of cosmetics, and such additives are identified from among the cosmetic ingredients.
The choice, such as obtaining cosmetics without these additives, has been difficult for ordinary users who usually do not have knowledge of the efficacy of specialized chemical substances. In addition, if the selected cosmetic does not suit the skin, it is necessary to actually use the new cosmetic and to find out, by trial and error, a cosmetic consisting of a cosmetic recipe containing cosmetic ingredients that meet the required conditions or requirements. It was

The present invention improves such conventional non-scientific selection of cosmetics. The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the cost of purchasing expensive cosmetics for testing. About the optimal cosmetic composition ingredients according to the kind of cosmetic composition ingredients, the information about the effect, the usage conditions, etc., without tying a general user or a professional hairdresser to the customer's computer system connected to the Internet. Information, weather, UV index, moisture index, and other external conditions delivered via the Internet are stored online, and from the customer computer, user requirements or condition parameters, current day's action schedule, and destination. By also inputting personal information such as etc., the optimum makeup corresponding to various request items or condition parameters of the user It is one which allows the creation calculates the recipe by a predetermined program of the host computer.

Furthermore, the present invention aims to build a database on cosmetics that closely adheres to the user, based on "Obligation to Display All Cosmetics Ingredients" enforced in April 2001. It is also possible to search from the customer computer for information on the ingredients of cosmetics used, ingredients used for cosmetics, and information on the effects of the ingredients on the skin. It is also possible to provide information on cosmetic ingredients in general. By using the present invention, a person can not only obtain much knowledge about cosmetic ingredients, but also input the evaluation of the used cosmetics to the host computer so that the host computer can also have a learning function. Because it can be done, general users, professionals such as hairdressers, barbers, cosmetics sales staff, estheticians, pharmacists, etc. It will be possible to share the acquired knowledge or information, and general users will be able to enjoy the know-how from specialists, which was not possible until now, and therefore, a high-quality cosmetic database and cosmetic recipe. It is possible to share information on evaluations, etc. between general users and professionals. Further, for a professional, since it is possible to create and store the optimal cosmetics recipe for each customer, it is possible to provide the customer with a fine-grained service, and thus the utility value of the present invention in the cosmetics industry. There is something immeasurable.

0 (a) shows a case where a dedicated personal computer having an input device 21 such as a probe for skin surface analysis is used as the customer computer 2, and FIG.
Shows the one for a beauty salon in which the computer body is installed on the back side of the mirror stand and the liquid crystal display is embedded in the mirror stand, and the functions are the same.

When the customer computer 2 is constituted by a dedicated personal computer having an input device 21 such as a probe for skin surface analysis, the computer is started at step 201 of FIG. The set value is automatically read, and in step 203, it is selected whether to use the skin condition inspection system. In order to reflect the skin condition inspection result in the search and creation of the cosmetics recipe, the skin condition inspection is executed in step 204, and the inspection result is registered as a condition parameter in step 208. The registered condition parameters are used as part of the condition parameters input on the customer computer 2 using the condition parameter input screen for the recipe search selected by the initial screen.

When it is not necessary to reflect the skin condition in the search / preparation of the cosmetics recipe, the condition parameters are manually input. When the actual condition parameters are input, the cosmetic recipe search condition parameter or the cosmetic recipe creation condition parameter is input from the input screen 300 shown in FIG. 6 as described above.

The reason for inputting the test result of the skin condition as a condition parameter is that human skin is reborn in a cycle (skin cycle) of about 28 days, and when this skin cycle is disturbed, various changes in the skin condition occur. The resulting skin becomes sensitive, bulky, or loses resistance, so the skin condition of the day is one of the important factors when selecting a cosmetic product. Therefore, when a cosmetics recipe search / creation process requires a skincare cosmetics recipe, for example, a skin condition inspection program is executed, and a data input device equipped with a probe for skin surface analysis is used to measure skin moisture content, sebum content, Barrier function, water retention, keratin damage, dryness, oiliness, sensitivity, changes in skin quality due to aging, etc. are inspected, and the inspection results are input as condition parameters.

Specifically, the required information is automatically input as a condition parameter only by bringing a probe for skin surface analysis into contact with the skin.

(Practical Procedure) Step 1 When the user gets up in the morning, the user first has an input device 21 such as a probe for skin surface analysis, and an information processing tool such as a customer computer 2 having an inspection program installed (hereinafter referred to as "information processing tool"). , Simply referred to as “treatment tool”), and is placed in front of a mirror stand as shown in FIG. 10a, and a skin surface analysis probe connected to the treatment tool is applied to the skin surface in need of cosmetics. Step 2 The skin surface analysis probe captures information on the skin surface and inputs it to the processing tool. Step 3 The acquired skin surface information is processed by a processing program to convert the skin condition into data. Step 4 Through the Internet, from the weather forecast of the day, sunshine hours, UV index, moisture index, precipitation,
External condition parameters such as temperature are imported into the processing tool. Step 5 With the optimum cosmetics selection program, the change pattern of the skin condition of the day is predicted from the information of the skin surface which has been made into data and the external condition parameters fetched via the Internet.

Step 6 The action schedule of the day is read from the user's schedule management program stored in the processing tool, and the expected change pattern of the skin condition of the day is corrected by the external condition parameter such as the outing schedule. Step 7 Based on the user's condition parameters from the personal computer input screen and the modified change pattern of the skin condition of the day, the condition parameters input and the predicted predicted values are modified from the cosmetic composition database stored in the storage device.
