Specifically, the makeup assisting system 100 of the present embodiment has the application device 10 and the portable terminal 30. The application device 10 is communicatively connected to the portable terminal 30. The application device 10 is an example of an application device that constitutes a part of the makeup assisting system according to the present embodiment. The portable terminal 30 is an example of a makeup assisting device constituting a part of the makeup assisting system according to the present embodiment. The mobile terminal 30 is also an example of the makeup assisting device according to the present embodiment.

The application device 10 constitutes an application tool (refer to fig. 1 and 2) used by the user P in an application or application operation of the cosmetic. The applicator 10 includes a main body 11, a handle 12, an application surface 13, and a holding tool 14 (see fig. 2 to 4). The main body 11 has an internal configuration (see fig. 5) described later.

Here, the cosmetics are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include cosmetics for skin care (also referred to as base cosmetics) such as lotions, beauty solutions, milky lotions, and creams, and cosmetics for applying makeup (also referred to as makeup cosmetics) such as foundations, blushers, lipsticks, color cosmetics (gloss), eyebrow pencils, eyeliners, eye shadows, mascaras, nail varnishes, and perfumes. In the present embodiment, the cosmetic is preferably a skin care cosmetic.

In addition, painting means painting (or applying) a cosmetic. The area to which the cosmetic is applied (hereinafter also referred to as an application area) indicates an area (or range) to which the cosmetic is applied in the surface of the skin of the person. Detecting a region means detecting the coordinates of the region and determining the position (or location) of the region from the detected coordinates.

The grip 12 constitutes a grip (or a handgrip) for the user P to hold (or grip) the application apparatus 10 to perform an application or a painting action of the cosmetic. A push-type switch (button) 12A that switches on-off of the application device 10 is provided on the handle 12. The applying surface 13 constitutes a surface that touches the skin of the user P when applying the cosmetic. The sheet S impregnated with the cosmetic is placed on the applying surface 13 in a state fixed by the holding tool 14 (see fig. 2 to 4).

The internal configuration of the main body 11 is arbitrary, but includes, for example, a position sensor 15, a pressure sensor 16, an acceleration sensor 17, a cosmetic sensor 18, a vibration motor 19, a computer 20, a communication module 26, and a power supply 27 (see fig. 5).

The position sensor 15 detects position information of the image of the user P acquired by the mobile terminal 30. The pressure sensor 16 detects a pressure (or pressing force) generated in the application apparatus 10 during the cosmetic application operation. The acceleration sensor 17 detects acceleration generated in the application apparatus 10 in the cosmetic application operation.

The cosmetic sensor 18 has electrodes 18A and 18B exposed on the application surface 13, and detects the moisture content of the cosmetic impregnated in the sheet S placed on the application surface 13 through the electrodes 18A and 18B.

In the present embodiment, a method of detecting the moisture content is adopted as a detection method of the cosmetic sensor, but the present invention is not limited to this detection method. For example, a method of detecting cosmetics using an optical sensor such as a photo reflector may be adopted as the detection method of the cosmetic sensor.

The vibration motor 19 notifies the user P of a feeling when operating the application device 10 and information to be described later by vibration or vibration sound. The computer 20 has an internal configuration (see fig. 5) described later. The communication module 26 transmits information obtained in the application device 10 to the portable terminal 30, and receives information transmitted from the portable terminal 30. The power supply 27 supplies power to the elements 15 to 20, 26 of the application device 10.

The CPU21 includes a control unit 22 and can control the application device 10. Specifically, the CPU21 controls the position sensor 15, the pressure sensor 16, the acceleration sensor 17, the cosmetic product sensor 18, the vibration motor 19, the communication module 26, and the power supply 27, and performs various processes such as information calculation, control, storage, transfer, input, output, transmission, and reception. The control unit 22 may be configured separately from the CPU 21.

The memory 23 constitutes a temporary storage device that stores information to be calculated when the CPU21 executes processing. The application device 10 may also include auxiliary devices such as a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and a module socket, which are not shown.

The information input section 24 inputs information transmitted from the portable terminal 30 and received by the communication module 26 to the application device 10. The information output section 25 outputs information such as a detection result obtained by the application apparatus 10. The information output from the information output unit 25 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 30 via the communication module 26.

Auxiliary device for makeup

The portable terminal 30, which is an example of the makeup assisting device according to the present embodiment, is communicably connected to the application device 10. The mobile terminal 30 is a portable communication terminal (for example, a smartphone) having a computer function. The makeup assisting device according to the present embodiment is not limited to a portable terminal capable of wireless communication with the application device 10, and may be a personal computer or the like connected by a wire. The makeup assisting device according to the present embodiment may be connected to the application device 10 via a network line so as to be able to communicate with the application device, without being limited to a wired or wireless connection.

The portable terminal 30 includes a main body 31, a display 32, and a camera 33 (see fig. 6). The main body 31 incorporates a computer and a communication module, not shown, and performs various processes such as information calculation, control, storage, transfer, input, output, transmission, and reception. The main body 31 incorporates an auxiliary storage device (not shown) in which a program for implementing the makeup auxiliary device according to the present embodiment is stored so as to be readable by a computer.

The display 32 visually displays information such as characters and images output from a computer (not shown) in the main body 31. The camera 33 is a camera (or a front camera) having a lens 33A provided on the display 32 side of the portable terminal 30. The camera 33 is controlled by a computer in the main body 31, and takes an image of the user P.

The captured image of the user P is displayed on the display 32 as a user image 40. The user image 40 includes an area 41 formed of an image of the face F of the user P to which the cosmetic is applied. In addition, a part of the region 41 includes application regions 41A and 41B to which cosmetics are locally applied. A display field 80 (see fig. 6) for displaying a message to be described later is displayed on the lower portion of the display 32.

Fig. 7 is a flowchart for implementing the makeup assisting device according to embodiment 1. The makeup assisting device according to embodiment 1 is realized by the portable terminal 30, and guides application of the cosmetic. The portable terminal 30 has an area detection unit that detects an area to which the cosmetic is applied. Specifically, step S11 of detecting the area 41 (including the application areas 41A, 41B) to which the cosmetic is applied with the camera 33 of the portable terminal 30 is executed. The camera 33 of the portable terminal 30 is an example of an area detection unit constituting the makeup assistant device according to the present embodiment.

Specifically, in step S11 of fig. 7, the camera 33 of the mobile terminal 30 captures an image of the user P, the coordinates of the area 41 included in the user image 40 captured as the image of the user P are detected, and the position (or part) of the area 41 is specified based on the detected coordinates. The areas 41 include the painted areas 41A and 41B, and the positions (or portions) of the painted areas 41A and 41B are also determined (see fig. 6). In step S12 of fig. 7, the user image 40 of the user P is displayed on the display 32, and the region 41 including the painted regions 41A and 41B is displayed on the display 32 (see fig. 6 and 7).

The object of the area 41 (painted areas 41A, 41B) is arbitrary. In the makeup assisting device (portable terminal 30) according to the present embodiment, the surface F of the face to which the cosmetic is applied is the target of the area 41 ( application areas 41A and 41B). Here, the surface of the face represents the face centered on the chin, cheeks, and forehead (see fig. 6). In the present embodiment, the painted region 41A corresponds to the left cheek of the user P, and the painted region 41B corresponds to the right cheek of the user P (see fig. 6).

Embodiment 1 further includes a display unit that displays information related to the area. Specifically, step S13 (see fig. 7 and 8) is executed in which the information 50 related to the area 41 (the painted area 41A, 41B) is displayed on the display 32 of the mobile terminal 30. The display 32 of the portable terminal 30 is an example of a display unit constituting the makeup auxiliary device according to the present embodiment.

Here, the information associated with the area (hereinafter referred to as area-associated information) indicates information linked (or associated) with a predetermined area. Displaying information means representing in a way that the information can be determined or identified.

In embodiment 1, the information (area-related information) 50 related to the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B) is information indicating the application state of the cosmetic in the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B). Here, the information indicating the application state of the cosmetics (hereinafter, referred to as guidance information) indicates information indicating whether or not the application operation of the cosmetics is appropriate and/or information teaching (or instructing) the appropriate application operation of the cosmetics. For example, the area-related information 50 is guide information 51 and 52 (see fig. 8 and 9) in which arrows displayed in the application areas 41A and 41B indicate appropriate application directions of the cosmetics.

The display form of the guidance information 51 and 52 displayed as the area-related information 50 is not limited. In the makeup assisting device (portable terminal 30) according to the present embodiment, the area-related information 50 may be configured by information that can be recognized visually, audibly, tactually, or the like. For example, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the information visually recognizable may be a sign such as an arrow indicating the application direction. The information that can be recognized by auditory sense may be a sound such as a dial sound or a vibration sound to indicate the application speed. Further, the information that can be recognized by the sense of touch may indicate the application pressure by vibration or the like.

In the present embodiment, it is preferable that the display unit (step S13) for displaying the area-related information 50 displays the area-related information 50 (see fig. 7) in the area 41 (the smear area 41A, 41B) displayed in step S12. Here, displaying the area-related information in the area indicates that at least a part of the area-related information is also displayed inside the displayed area.

In the present embodiment, for example, an arrow having an inverted S-shape is displayed as the guide information 51 (see fig. 8) indicating the smearing direction in the smearing region 41A (the smearing region corresponding to the left cheek of the user P). In addition, an arrow of an S-letter shape is displayed in the smear region 41B (the smear region corresponding to the right cheek of the user P) as the guide information 52 (see fig. 9) indicating the smear direction.

In the present embodiment, the guidance information 51, 52 displayed as the area-related information 50 is preferably information based on a predetermined painting condition. Here, the predetermined application condition indicates that the application condition is set according to the state (for example, a part, a shape, and the like) of the region (application region).

The content of the application condition is arbitrary, but the application condition preferably includes at least any one of the application range, the application direction, the application pressure, the application speed, and the application amount of the cosmetic in the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B).

Here, the application range indicates a range indicating at least a part of the area to which the cosmetic is applied. The application direction means a direction (or orientation) in which the cosmetic is applied. The application pressure means a pressure (or pressing force) applied to an application area when applying the cosmetic. The application speed means a speed (or a speed) at which the cosmetic is applied. The application amount indicates the amount of cosmetic required for application.

In the makeup assisting device (portable terminal 30) according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the information display is different between the case where the application condition is not satisfied and the case where the application condition is satisfied. Here, the condition that the application of the cosmetic satisfies the application condition means that the application operation with respect to the application area is performed within a limit allowable by the guidance information displayed as the area-related information. The difference in display indicates that the two display modes can be distinguished.

The mode of the applying operation for the area 41 (the applying areas 41A and 41B) is not particularly limited. For example, as described above, by using the device 10 or the like capable of applying a cosmetic, which has a sensor function, a communication function, or the like, to actually apply the cosmetic to the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B), information obtained by measuring an application range, an application direction, an application pressure, an application speed, an application amount, or the like can be handled as an application operation.

In the present embodiment, in step S14 of fig. 7, the smearing operation obtained as such information is compared or compared with the above-described predetermined smearing condition, and it is determined whether or not the smearing operation satisfies the smearing condition (see fig. 7). If the determined result is that the smearing operation satisfies the smearing condition, the area-related information 50 (guidance information 51, 52) displayed in the smearing area 41A is deleted (step S15 in fig. 7). In the present embodiment, the case where the display of the area-related information 50 (the guide information 51, 52) is deleted indicates that the smearing operation performed on the area 41 (the smearing areas 41A, 41B) is appropriate.

On the other hand, when the smearing operation does not satisfy the smearing condition, the display form of the area-related information 50 (guidance information 51, 52) displayed in the smearing area 41A is changed (step S16 in fig. 7). For example, the arrow is thickened when the application pressure is insufficient, and the arrow is thinned when the application pressure is excessive. The application speed is indicated by a blinking arrow, and if the application speed is too slow, the arrow blinking speed is increased, and if the application speed is too fast, the arrow blinking speed is decreased.

If the smearing operation does not satisfy the smearing condition in step S16 in fig. 7 (if the display mode of the area-related information 50 is changed), the process returns to step S14 in fig. 7, and it is determined again whether or not the smearing operation satisfies the smearing condition. Then, steps S14 and S16 are repeated until the application operation satisfies the application condition.

In step S15 of fig. 7, when the smearing operation satisfies the smearing condition (when the display of the area-related information 50 is deleted), the process proceeds to step S17, and it is determined whether or not another smearing area is present. If the determination result indicates that there is another application region, steps S13 to S17 are repeated for another application region (for example, if there is an application region 41B with respect to the application region 41A) (see steps S18 and fig. 9 in fig. 7). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S17 that there is no other application area, the implementation of the makeup assisting device according to embodiment 1 is terminated (see fig. 6 and 7).

In the makeup assisting device (portable terminal 30) according to embodiment 1, when the application condition is not satisfied by the application of the cosmetic, the area-related information 50 (guide information 51, 52) is displayed in the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B) (steps S14 to S16).

In the present embodiment, for example, a case where the area-related information 50 (the guide information 51, 52) is displayed in the area 41 (the painted areas 41A, 41B) indicates a case where the painting operation is not yet performed on the area 41 (the painted areas 41A, 41B), or a case where the area-related information 50 (the guide information 51, 52) is displayed in the area 41 (the painted areas 41A, 41B) as it is due to an inappropriate painting operation performed on the area 41 (the painted areas 41A, 41B) (see fig. 8).

In the makeup assisting device (portable terminal 30) according to the present embodiment, as described above, the area 41 ( application areas 41A and 41B) is detected, the information (area-related information) 50 related to the area 41 ( application areas 41A and 41B) is displayed, and the user P can perform the application operation (or makeup operation) in accordance with the displayed area-related information 50. Further, by displaying information (guide information) 51 indicating the application status of the cosmetics as the area-related information 50, the user P can perform the application operation in accordance with the area-related information 50, and thus can apply the cosmetics appropriately to the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B) (see fig. 8 and 9).

As described above, by displaying the area-related information 50 in the area 41 (the application areas 41A and 41B), the user P can easily identify the area 41 (the application areas 41A and 41B) where the application operation is performed, in accordance with the guide information 51 and 52 (see fig. 8 and 9).

The user P can synchronize the application operation performed on the area 41 (the application areas 41A and 41B) with the guidance information 51 and 52 displayed on the area 41 (the application areas 41A and 41B). Thus, in the present embodiment, appropriate application of the cosmetic corresponding to the displayed area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B) can be performed.

In the present embodiment, as described above, by displaying information based on predetermined application conditions as the area-related information 50 (the guidance information 51, 52), the user P can apply appropriate cosmetics according to the state of the area 41 (the application areas 41A, 41B) (see fig. 8 and 9). Thus, in the present embodiment, appropriate cosmetic application can be performed for each of the areas 41 ( application areas 41A and 41B).

As described above, since the predetermined application condition includes at least one of the application range, the application direction, the application pressure, the application speed, and the application amount, the objectivity of the guidance information 51 and 52 displayed as the area-related information 50 can be ensured. Thus, the user P can perform the applying operation in accordance with the area-related information 50 (the guidance information 51, 52), thereby accurately applying the appropriate cosmetic to the area 41 (the application areas 41A, 41B).

In the present embodiment, as described above, by making the display of the area-related information 50 (the guide information 51, 52) different between the case where the application of the cosmetic does not satisfy the application condition and the case where the application of the cosmetic satisfies the application condition, the user P can recognize whether the application operation to the area 41 (the application areas 41A, 41B) is appropriate or inappropriate. Thereby, the user P can learn (or grasp) an appropriate smearing operation in the area 41 (smearing areas 41A, 41B).

In the present embodiment, as described above, when the application condition is not satisfied by the application of the cosmetic, the area-related information 50 (the guide information 51, 52) is displayed in the area 41 (the application areas 41A, 41B), so that the user P can recognize whether the application operation in the area 41 (the application areas 41A, 41B) is appropriate or inappropriate. Thereby, the user P can learn (or grasp) an appropriate smearing operation in the area 41 (smearing areas 41A, 41B).

In the present embodiment, as described above, by deleting the display of the area-related information 50 (guide information 51, 52) when the application of the cosmetic satisfies the application condition, the user P can recognize whether the application operation in the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B) is appropriate or inappropriate. In addition, since the user P is prompted to cancel the display of the area-related information 50 (guidance information 51, 52), it is possible to teach (or guide) the application of the appropriate cosmetic to the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B) with high accuracy. This enables the user P to accurately learn (or grasp) an appropriate application operation in the area 41 ( application areas 41A and 41B).

Further, in the present embodiment, by setting the target of the region 41 (the smear regions 41A and 41B) as the face surface F, the user P can perform the smear operation on the face surface F in accordance with the displayed region-related information 50. Further, the user P can apply the appropriate cosmetic to the face surface F by performing the application operation according to the area-related information 50.

In the present embodiment, by using cosmetics for skin care as the cosmetics applied to the area 41 (applied areas 41A, 41B), the user P can perform skin care in accordance with the displayed area-related information 50. Further, the user P can perform appropriate skin care for the area 41 (the applied area 41A, 41B) by performing the applying operation according to the area-related information 50.

Fig. 10 is a flowchart for implementing the makeup assisting device according to embodiment 2. In embodiment 2, the same or corresponding reference numerals are used for portions common to embodiment 1, and the description thereof may be omitted.

The makeup assisting device (portable terminal 30) according to embodiment 2 includes a cover layer (overlay)60 in which area-related information (guide information) is displayed in an area 41. Specifically, the mobile terminal 30 is configured to display the cover layer 60 in the area 41 (the smear areas 41A and 41B) (step S22 in fig. 10). The cover layer 60 shown in embodiment 2 is an example of the area-related information 50 (guide information 51, 52).

Here, the cover layer indicates a transmissive image that covers at least a part of the displayed area. In the present embodiment, the cover layer 60 is displayed in a grid pattern so as to cover the area 41 (including the application areas 41A and 41B) (see fig. 11). The method of displaying the area where the coating layer is displayed is arbitrary, and for example, the coating layer may be displayed in an area where the coating operation is not performed or an area where the coating operation is not performed appropriately. In addition, the coating layer may be displayed in an area where the coating operation is appropriately performed.

In embodiment 2, it is preferable to delete the coating layer 60 when the application of the cosmetic in the area 41 where the coating layer 60 is displayed satisfies the application condition. Specifically, when the application operation in the application area 41A satisfies the application condition, the cover layer 60 in the application area 41A is deleted (see step S24, step S25, fig. 12, and fig. 13 in fig. 10). In fig. 12 and 13, the application areas 41A and 41B in the area 41 in which the coating layer 60 is removed represent areas where the application operation is appropriate.

On the other hand, when the application operation in the application area 41A does not satisfy the application condition, the cover layer 60 in the application area 41A is displayed as it is (see step S26 and fig. 11 of fig. 10). In fig. 11, the application regions 41A and 41B in the region 41, in which the cover layer 60 is displayed, are regions where the application operation is not performed or regions where the application operation is not performed appropriately.

In addition, when the application operation in the application area 41A does not satisfy the application condition, a cover layer different from the cover layer 60 may be displayed. For example, when the color of the cover layer 60 is transparent purple, the color is displayed by decreasing the purple when the application pressure is insufficient in the application operation of the application area 41A, or by changing the purple to light blue. When the application pressure is excessive, the purple color of the coating layer 60 is increased or displayed in black instead of the purple color.

If the application operation does not satisfy the application condition in step S26 of fig. 10 (if the blanket 60 of the application area 41A is displayed as it is), the process returns to step S24, and it is determined again whether or not the application operation satisfies the application condition. Then, step S24 and step S26 are repeated until the smearing operation satisfies the smearing condition.

On the other hand, when the application operation satisfies the application condition in step S25 in fig. 10 (when the cover layer 60 in the application area 41A is deleted), the process proceeds to step S27 in fig. 10 to determine whether or not another application area is present. If another applied region is present as a result of the determination, steps S23 to S27 (see steps S28 and fig. 13 in fig. 10) are repeated with respect to the other applied region (for example, if the applied region 41B is present with respect to the applied region 41A). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S27 in fig. 10 that there is no other application area, the implementation of the makeup assisting device according to embodiment 2 is terminated (see fig. 6 and 10).

In addition, when the overlay layer 60 is displayed in embodiment 2, the application direction (arrow) and the like constituting the area related information 50 (the guide information 51, 52) in embodiment 1 may be displayed at the same time.

In embodiment 2, as described above, by displaying the cover layer 60 in the area 41 (the application areas 41A and 41B), the user P can recognize that the application operation has not been performed, the application operation is appropriate, or the application operation is not appropriate in the area 41 (the application areas 41A and 41B) where the cover layer 60 is displayed (see fig. 11).

In embodiment 2, by deleting the cover layer 60 when the application of the cosmetic satisfies the application condition in the area 41 ( application areas 41A and 41B) where the cover layer 60 is displayed, the user P can recognize that the application operation is appropriate in the area 41 (application area 41A shown in fig. 12 and application areas 41A and 41B shown in fig. 13) where the cover layer 60 is deleted. In addition, the user P is given an incentive to cause the displayed overlay layer 60 to cancel, and therefore, the application of appropriate cosmetics to the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B) can be taught (or guided) with high accuracy.

Further, in embodiment 2, by displaying the application area 41B of the blanket 60 (the blanket 61) and the application area 41A in which a part of the blanket 60 is removed in the area 41 in a coexisting manner, the user P can distinguish the application area 41A in the area 41 in which the application operation is appropriate from the application area 41B in which the application operation is inappropriate or the application operation has not been performed (see fig. 12). By this, the user P can accurately learn (or grasp) an appropriate application operation in the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B).

Fig. 14 is a flowchart of a makeup assisting device according to embodiment 3. In embodiment 3, the same or corresponding reference numerals are given to portions common to embodiment 1, and the description thereof may be omitted.

In the makeup assisting device (portable terminal 30) according to embodiment 3, when the application condition includes the application amount, the application amount is preferably calculated in accordance with the area of the region. In the makeup assisting device (portable terminal 30) according to embodiment 3, the area of the detected region 41 ( application regions 41A and 41B) is calculated (step S31 and step S32). Then, the smear amount (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a region smear amount) corresponding to the area of the calculated region 41 (smear regions 41A, 41B) is calculated (step S33 in fig. 14).

Here, the smearing amount is calculated in accordance with the area of the region, and the smearing amount is calculated based on the area of the region. For example, the amount of application per unit area (unit amount of application) of the predetermined area 41 is calculated by multiplying the unit amount of application by the area of the cosmetic application area 41 ( application areas 41A and 41B) (total amount).

Further, in embodiment 3, it is determined whether or not the usage amount of the cosmetic satisfies the application amount (area application amount) corresponding to the area 70 (areas 71, 72) of the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B) (step S34). If the usage amount does not satisfy the area smearing amount as a result of the determination, a message 90 (messages 91 and 92) is displayed (see step S35, fig. 15, and fig. 16 of fig. 14).

Here, the usage amount indicates an amount of the cosmetic that can be applied to an area (application area) (hereinafter, referred to as a usage amount) or an amount of the cosmetic actually used for application (hereinafter, referred to as a used amount). Such an amount of use can be converted from the amount of moisture of the cosmetic impregnated in the sheet S placed on the application surface 13 of the application device 10, for example. Further, the moisture amount of the cosmetic impregnated in the sheet S can be detected by the cosmetic sensor 18 of the application apparatus 10.

The message indicates the information content indicated by the language and the symbol. In the present embodiment, for example, the moisture content of the cosmetic before use (cosmetic before use) impregnated in the sheet S placed on the application surface 13 of the application device 10 or the moisture content of the cosmetic after use (cosmetic after use) is detected as the usable amount and compared with the area application amount. If it is determined that the detected usable amount (moisture amount of the cosmetic before use or the cosmetic after use) does not satisfy the area application amount, the "cosmetic shortage" is displayed in the display field 80 displayed on the lower portion of the display 32. "as a message 91 (see fig. 15).

In addition, the amount obtained by subtracting the moisture content of the cosmetic after use from the moisture content of the cosmetic before use (hereinafter referred to as used amount) is integrated as used amount and compared with the area application amount. If it is determined that the cosmetic is insufficient (the amount of use will not satisfy the area application amount in the future) based on the application amount corresponding to the area of the area where the application operation has not been performed, a character "cosmetic will soon become insufficient" is displayed in the display field 80 as a message 92 (see fig. 16).

In addition to the messages 91 and 92 or instead of the messages 91 and 92, characters "please supplement cosmetics" may be displayed in the display column 80 as a message not shown. The user P can replenish the sheet S with cosmetics by confirming these messages ( messages 91, 92, etc.).

Further, the used amount is compared with the area painting amount (painting amount corresponding to the area of the area where the painting action has been performed). When the used amount is smaller than the area smear amount, a character "smear amount is insufficient" is displayed in the display field 80 as a message not shown. In addition to the message or instead of the message, the display column 80 may display a character "please continue to paint" as a message not shown. The user P can continue to apply the cosmetics by confirming the messages.

If the message 90 is displayed in step S35 of fig. 14 (if the usage amount of the cosmetic does not satisfy the area application amount), the process returns to step S34, and it is determined again whether or not the usage amount satisfies the area application amount. Then, steps S34 and S35 are repeated until the usage amount satisfies the area application amount.

On the other hand, in the case where the usage amount satisfies the area painting amount in step S34 of fig. 14, the message 90 is not displayed in step S36 of fig. 14. In addition, in the case where the message 90 has already been displayed, the message 90 is deleted in step S36 of fig. 14.

If the message 90 is not displayed in step S36 in fig. 14 or if the message 90 is deleted (if the usage amount satisfies the area smearing amount), the process proceeds to step S37 in fig. 14, and it is determined whether or not an unprocessed smearing area (smearing area for which smearing operation has not been performed) is present. If the unprocessed applied region is present as a result of the determination, the process returns to step S34, and it is determined again whether or not the usage amount satisfies the region application amount. Then, steps S34 to S37 are repeated until the usage amount satisfies the area application amount. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S37 in fig. 14 that there is no unprocessed application region, the implementation of the makeup assisting device according to embodiment 3 is terminated (see fig. 6 and 14).

In addition, when the area smearing amount is calculated (or a message is displayed) in embodiment 3, the smearing direction (arrow) and the like constituting the area-related information 50 (the guide information 51, 52) in embodiment 1 may be displayed simultaneously. The cover layer 60 in embodiment 2 may be displayed simultaneously with or instead of simultaneously displaying the application direction (arrow) or the like constituting the area related information 50 (guide information 51, 52) in embodiment 1.

In embodiment 3, as described above, by calculating the smear amount (area smear amount) corresponding to the area 70 (areas 71 and 72) of the area 41 (smear areas 41A and 41B), it is possible to ensure objectivity of the smear amount included in the smear condition that is the basis of the area-related information 50 (guide information 51 and 52). Thus, the user P can accurately grasp the appropriate amount of cosmetic to be applied to the area 41 (the application areas 41A and 41B) when performing the application operation in accordance with the guide information 50 (the guide information 51 and 52).

Further, in embodiment 3, by displaying the message 90 (messages 91, 92) when the usage amount of the cosmetic does not satisfy the area application amount, the user P can recognize that the usage amount of the cosmetic required for the area application amount is insufficient or will be insufficient in the future. Thus, the user P is given an incentive to prepare or supplement the cosmetic so that the usage amount satisfies the area application amount, and therefore, the appropriate application amount of the cosmetic for the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B) can be taught (or guided) with high accuracy. In addition, the user P can accurately learn (or grasp) the appropriate application amount of the cosmetic for the area 41 ( application areas 41A, 41B).
