Description

  The present invention relates to a terminal device with a skin measurement function. More specifically, the present invention relates to improved control in a terminal device with a skin measurement function.

Conventionally, a terminal device such as a game machine that performs training and training of a virtual creature is used (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-232595

However, in the conventional terminal device, there is no device that can be enjoyed by reflecting information on the physical condition, for example, information on the skin condition. That is,
(1) Many conventional skin measuring instruments are for home use, and it is not very common to measure measurement data over time (eg daily) by counseling, etc., so self-diagnose the skin by individuals. I couldn't. In addition, the measured data alone was not interesting for ordinary people, and was not attracted until it changed as time-lapse data.
(2) Traditionally, beauty advice has been received and evaluated through information exchange on cosmetic counters, telephones, and the Internet. It was difficult to go.
(3) In the above advice, communication between humans is necessary, and the person who gives advice, how to receive the person who receives the advice, the situation changes easily in time series when the advice is received, and has labor. In addition, since there is no opportunity to objectively evaluate your skin condition in your life, you can easily know that your skin condition has changed. It was not possible to easily and objectively evaluate that the skin was changing.
(4) There has never been a simple index that allows others to know their skin condition. To date there has been no use of skin as a communication tool.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the terminal device with a skin measurement function which can reflect and enjoy the measured skin information.

  In order to solve this problem, the present inventor has made various studies and obtained new knowledge. The terminal device with a skin measuring function of the present invention is based on such knowledge, a skin measuring device for measuring a user's skin state, a memory device storing data relating to the skin state, and reading stored data of the memory device.

For example, the control device in the terminal device with a skin measurement function performs a process of changing the virtual creature in accordance with an input from the input device.

  As described above, there has never been a simple index that allows other people to know their own skin condition (for example, the user). According to the terminal device with a skin measurement function according to the present invention, it is possible to measure the skin state of a user or the like and to check the measurement result while enjoying the growth or operation of the virtual creature. Moreover, since this terminal device with a skin measurement function can communicate with other terminal devices, it can function as a communication tool mediated by the skin condition. In other words, using the skin as a communication tool, the benefits of communicating with more people because the virtual life forms change due to new events and friend registrations that occur during data communication between virtual life forms raised Is born. In addition, for example, when a player responds to a call or request from a virtual creature and takes a corresponding action, the virtual creature is gained or the virtual creature is grown while training. It is also possible to carry out a training simulation.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the terminal device with a skin measurement function is provided with the advice function which outputs the advice according to the measurement result of the skin state by a skin measurement apparatus. In this case, the advice relates to any of skin age, lifestyle, trouble, and makeup, for example. According to this, life habits, trouble countermeasures, dermatological advice, etc. that should be noted by the user or the like are displayed according to the measurement result, and it is possible to acquire beauty habits, cosmetics and dermatological knowledge while playing.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the terminal device with a skin measurement function stores the measurement result of the skin state by the skin measurement device and outputs it according to the input from the user. Moreover, the terminal device with a skin measurement function may include a thermometer capable of measuring the user's body temperature, or may include a body fat meter capable of measuring the user's body fat percentage. Furthermore, it is also preferable to include an imaging device.

  The terminal device with a skin measurement function preferably has a game function. For example, by installing a simple skin measuring instrument on a game machine, it is possible to easily measure skin at home with the feeling of game extension (in other words, a game sensation), and self-diagnosis of the skin condition is easy. become. Moreover, since game characteristics are born by the measured data, it becomes interesting to continue measuring.

The CCD camera 16 is used for shooting a moving image or a still image of a user (subject), and images and photographs taken by the CCD camera 16 can be displayed on the display 13. As the CCD camera 16, a camera that can transmit data wirelessly may be used. For example, an infrared camera (not shown) as temperature measuring means may be installed above the display 13 of the mobile body 11. This infrared camera is used to measure the temperature distribution of the user's skin (skin). Furthermore, it is also preferable that the mobile main body 11 includes a body fat detector. The mobile body 11 of this embodiment includes body fat sensors 17 disposed on both sides of the display 13 (see FIG. 1). The user can measure body fat by bringing the thumbs of both hands into contact with the left and right body fat sensors 17.

  In addition, a pressure sensor 18 as elasticity measuring means, a PH measuring device 19 as PH value measuring means, and a moisturizing force sensor 20 as moisture retention measuring means are connected to the mobile body 11 via cables, respectively. 18-20 can detect a measured value by applying the detection part located in the front-end | tip to skin. Among the measuring devices 18 to 20, the elasticity of the skin is measured by the pressure sensor 18, the pH value of the skin is measured by the PH measuring device 19, and the moisturizing power (moisturizing amount) of the skin is measured by the moisturizing force sensor 20. . These measuring devices 18 to 20 are accommodated in accommodating portions 18a, 19a and 20a formed in the mobile body 11, respectively.

  Furthermore, it is also preferable that an external memory can be used in the terminal device 1 with a skin measurement function. For example, the mobile main body 11 of this embodiment includes a slot 14 into which an external memory 25 can be inserted, and data can be stored in the external memory 25. In addition, an infrared communication device (indicated by reference numeral 27) composed of an LED, a sensor, and the like is built in, for example, the front side end portion of the mobile body 11.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of the terminal device 1 with a skin measurement function. The terminal device 1 with a skin measurement function includes a mobile device 11 and a control device 21 configured by, for example, a CPU. The control device 21 is connected to a CCD camera 16, an infrared camera (not shown), a pressure sensor 18, a PH measuring device 19, and a moisturizing force sensor 20. The control device 21 displays video and photographs on the display 13 based on image data as image information input from the CCD camera 16.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the terminal device 1 with a skin measurement function itself includes the database 23. In the database 23, image data relating to a user captured using the CCD camera 16, a personal computer (not shown), or the like is registered. This image data includes user face image data (moving images, still images) and decorative image data such as landscape photographs, paintings, designs, etc. that the user likes. In this registration work, data can be arbitrarily added, modified, changed, deleted, etc., and these image data can be used according to the purpose of makeup, work, sports, social use, play, etc. It is also possible to register.

  In addition, even if the image data is the same image, the color scheme (full color, black and white, sepia, white fluorescent, mellow, pearl, etc.) and brightness (luminance, illuminance, natural color (morning, noon, evening) ), Fluorescent color light, ultraviolet light, etc.), and various types can be registered. Then, for example, a face image desired by the user can be created by pasting a decoration image of a landscape photograph as a decoration item on the background of the user's face image. Furthermore, based on these image data, various ID photographs (individual photographs) such as business cards, automobile licenses, passports, examination cards can be created.

  Further, sample data desired by the user is registered in the database 23. Examples of the sample data include image data (sample image data) of actresses and celebrities captured using a CCD camera 16 or a personal computer, and character data related to fashion or makeup in fashion. This sample data is used as a request or example when receiving makeup advice. In addition, the skin diagnosis evaluation and makeup advice transmitted from the server 50 are registered in the database 23. On the other hand, the terminal device 1 with a skin measurement function may include a calculation unit 24 as a calculation unit, and the calculation unit 24 may perform skin diagnosis evaluation and makeup advice instead of the server 50.

Below, the specific Example of the game device 1 with a skin measurement function is described, showing the specific example of a display. According to the game apparatus 1 with a skin measurement function of the present embodiment, for example, the following usage is possible.
(1) Check the skin condition.
(2) Training of the virtual creature V that grows based on the skin measurement data is performed to enhance the ability of the virtual creature V. It also keeps measuring long enough to draw visual changes from your skin condition.
(3) The information on the virtual creature V of its own is sent to another person using communication such as infrared rays, and the virtual creature V that has changed in response to the information obtained from the other person is confirmed. As a result, new information and the like are obtained through communication.
(4) Outputs knowledge about cosmetics and advice for the skin at that time. Since the user can know information necessary for the beauty at that time in real time, the user can receive a simple response to the skin when necessary.
(5) Self-administration by adding one word like a record of skin condition and diary.

  The virtual life form V displayed is, for example, a girl character, but the virtual life form V referred to in this specification is not limited to such anthropomorphic characters, but can be simplified such as so-called emoticons. Also included are symbols and so on. The point is that it can be changed according to the skin measurement result and the user can easily recognize the content (measurement result).

A. Measurement result of skin moisture (dryness) As a result of skin measurement, if the degree of dryness of the skin is below a certain value, the “wrinkles” of the skin of the character V increase. Thereby, it is displayed that the measurement result is in a negative (minus) state with the certain value as a reference. On the other hand, as a result of skin measurement, if the degree of skin dryness exceeds a certain value, the “stretch” of the character V's skin increases. Thereby, it is displayed that the measurement result is in a positive (plus) state based on the constant value. Skin tension can be represented by, for example, gloss.

Further, when displaying the measurement result of the skin moisture (dryness), not only the skin moisture of the character V as described above but also other parts, for example, the hair style of the character V may be displayed. For example, the hairstyle is changed in 10 steps as described below as an example so that the skin moisture becomes more gorgeous as it is positive (plus) than a certain value.
10. Curly hair up 9. Wave Long 8. 6. Straight long Mixture wave Medium 5. Short hair Perm medium 3. Okappa 2. Rough head 1. Afro

B. Result of UV damage measurement Measure skin damage by UV rays. For example, when the damage due to ultraviolet rays is large, the value of “stain” on the skin of the character V is increased (minus). Conversely, if the damage is small, the “stain” value is reduced (plus). Alternatively, the measurement result of the ultraviolet damage may be changed in a part other than the character V's skin, for example, the background BG of the screen. For example, the background BG is changed in 10 steps so that it becomes more gorgeous as the UV damage is less (good). In the present embodiment, the “stain” whose value increases or decreases depending on the result of the ultraviolet damage is a numerical expression of the ultraviolet damage of the user's skin. That is, the user's skin is not actually stained, but the data obtained as the user's “stain” is merely reflected in the character in order to express the UV damage in an easy-to-understand manner.

C. As a result of image analysis, the user captures images of himself / herself or another person's face and skin. For example, in the case of the terminal device 1 with the skin measurement function of the present embodiment, the image can be taken by the CCD camera 16 installed in the mobile main body 11. Using a skin image, for example, a dark portion can be diagnosed from the contrast of the entire face to diagnose “dullness”. In this case, if the result below a certain value continues, the value of “Glossy” is increased (minus). On the other hand, if the result above a certain value continues, the “dullness” value is increased (plus). Further, the facial expression of the character V may be changed depending on the result of the dullness diagnosis. For example, the result of the dullness diagnosis becomes a smile as the result of the dullness becomes positive (the level goes up), and when the result of the dullness continues, the sad face changes into anger. Furthermore, the emoticon FM may be displayed together with the change of the picture. For example, a change in facial expression can be indicated by an emoticon FM that changes in 10 steps as described below. In addition, the clothes change at random just by taking a picture. “The clothes change at random just by taking a picture” means that the clothes do not change according to the taken data, but the clothes change by performing the act of taking a picture. There is no regularity about the clothes, and I don't know what the clothes will be.

  The CCD camera 16 can be used not only for skin image analysis as described above, but also for recording a makeup face, one's own appearance, what one wants to take a picture of, and the like. For example, in addition to photographs taken during image analysis, you can add a day's thoughts and thoughts like a diary. It can be used not only for storage but also for self-management.

  Here, further specific examples of screen changes will be described (see FIGS. 4 to 11).

  In addition, as exemplified below, a message about knowledge about cosmetics to be displayed and advice about the current skin may be displayed. For example, if the stain (ultraviolet ray damage) has increased compared to the previous day's data, the message “Skin Damaged. Use Sunkus Lean when going outside” is displayed. If it increases further, the message “Let's check the SPF value of the sunscreen. It may be better than the SPF value of the current sunscreen” is displayed. If the skin moisture level decreases, the message “The skin is not moisturized. Use a lotion or milky lotion” is displayed, and then the skin moisture level further decreases. , "Use moisture lotion to supplement the stratum corneum with moisture and moisturizing ingredients and soften the skin. It will make it easier to blend in with emulsions and creams."

  So far, the case where the result of skin moisture, ultraviolet damage, dullness diagnosis, etc. is shown to the user by the change of the character V or the like has been described, but the following functions can be added.

(1) Mini games (brain age, English, common sense test, riddles, etc.)
With game function. Not only playing, but also receiving a game result, the character V's face variation, new clothes, and background BG will be presented. Since functions such as items increase, you can enjoy the game continuously or continue to measure without losing your daily life. A review function is added by copying a problem (English word) or the like that has been mistaken for the game result to the background BG for a certain period of time. Aiming to improve the inner beauty by learning.

(2) Infrared communication / Internet communication There is a merit that information is exchanged by infrared communication with a friend or the like, or new clothes are added when wirelessly communicating with a person with a high beauty value. In addition, information provided by a cosmetic company can be obtained by connecting to the Internet and updated to new information (including not only cosmetic knowledge but also new color release information, for example). Note that photos and data stored on memory cards can be stored separately on a computer.

(3) Thermometer The body temperature can be measured. You can make a habit of daily body temperature.

(4) Results of body fat measurement Body fat percentage is measured with a body fat percentage meter. The movement of the character V is changed according to the result. Basically, all movements are performed at random, and the rate of leisurely or agile movements is changed according to the results. For example, if the body fat percentage is a certain value or more, the movement is leisurely increased, and if the body fat percentage is a certain value or less, the agile movement is increased. As agile movements, for example, movements such as push-ups, jumping, running, flexible gymnastics, waving hands, and playing various sports may be performed. As a leisurely movement, for example, you may make a movement such as drinking tea, eating sweets, shaking, walking, reading a book, etc. Note that these thermometers and body fat scales can be connected to the terminal device 1 in the same manner as the moisture retention sensor 20.

  As described above, according to the terminal device 1 with the skin measurement function of the present embodiment (or the system 10 including the device 1), the skin measurement that can be connected to the game machine or the game machine is possible. Equipment can be provided. Further, the virtual life form V grows or changes according to the measurement result, so that the user is spontaneously interested in skin care and the like, and can continuously aim to improve aesthetics. Furthermore, advice according to the measurement result can be received to deepen knowledge about makeup. As a result, the manufacturer / seller side of a cosmetic company or the like has more opportunities to let users know about their products.

  Moreover, in the terminal device 1 with the skin measurement function of the present embodiment, the virtual life form V not only grows (changes) according to the measurement result, but also changes according to the result of the mini game performed by the user. There is also. An apparent change in the user leads to a change in the character, and it is possible to objectively evaluate a cosmetic experience value that is difficult to understand simply by using cosmetics. That is, the result of skin measurement by the user is difficult to understand when viewed only by a list of numbers or a graph, but in the case of this embodiment, the effect changes because the character changes according to the result of the user performing skin measurement. Is easy to understand. Also, according to this, when people who use lotion for cosmetics switch daily cosmetics to other cosmetics, or conversely, continue to use the same cosmetics, what changes will occur to themselves You can also determine whether In short, the character that the terminal device 1 with the skin measurement function felt vaguely by the user such as “Is this cosmetic really suitable for me” or “This cosmetic feels moist” If it expresses it as an evaluation result through the change of the character and other expressions, it functions like a mirror that reflects the user's own change easily through the change of the character. In addition, the inside of the user (learned) and the increase in knowledge by playing the game can be seen as the change of the character and can be felt.

  Furthermore, by communicating with friends, acquaintances, etc., the variation of changes increases, interest in socializing with friends and beauty can be increased, and friends such as “skin friends” can be made. In addition, through other people and characters, you can record and feel your own interest in beauty and management, and your inner growth more than looking in the mirror.

  The above-described embodiment is an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, it is possible to deepen ties between industries by increasing functions. For example, by adding an item related to a meal, it is possible to record changes that involve nutritional balance in beauty and self-management, or to place new advertisements in a part of the background BG. In addition, if you add a function to send a questionnaire by infrared communication from a terminal of a cosmetic company and reply to it, you can feel free to conduct a questionnaire survey like a game.

  Moreover, the effect of a make-up can also be confirmed by the terminal device with a skin measurement function described above. That is, it is possible to measure the condition of the skin that has been made, and to diagnose an improvement effect (for example, comparison with a no-make condition) based on the measurement result, and thus to evaluate the cosmetic. .
