Description

  The present invention relates to an application operation training apparatus for training the operation of applying cosmetics such as a makeup foundation to the skin.

  Conventionally, cosmetics such as makeup foundation (hereinafter referred to as “foundation”) have been used to make the skin color, pores, texture, etc., and to make the skin look beautiful. In addition to the effect of correcting the skin in this way, the foundation can also change the impression by changing the texture of various skin surfaces. For example, by changing the type of foundation powder or using a groundwork, the texture variation can be reproduced, but it is possible to express various differences just by changing the application method of the foundation.

  The foundation is applied to the skin using, for example, a sponge, fingers, brushes and the like. Usually, when a sponge is used, the foundation is applied by sliding the sponge. At this time, if the foundation cannot be spread well on the skin, the foundation adheres to the skin in a non-uniform state. Depending on the pores and texture, the foundation powder is caught in the pores, and the powder adheres only to the pores. In such cases, the foundation cannot make the skin look beautiful.

  Therefore, makeup artists use a method of applying and finishing a sponge, for example, by tapping instead of sliding the sponge. In this application method, the powder adheres to the convex and concave portions of the skin texture and the like, and the powder does not easily accumulate in the pores, so that the skin can be finished beautifully. In addition, depending on the fine part of the face and the condition of the skin, it may be applied by tapping with a finger so that the adjustment of the force can be finely adjusted.

  However, when trying to convey the makeup application technique of the makeup artist mentioned above, convey it in an abstract expression, for example, “Let's tap lightly”, “Tonton” or “Pompom”. However, it is difficult to convey specific power and tempo (rhythm) of actions only with words and letters. Therefore, depending on the person, how to strike is too strong or too weak, and the foundation is often not finished as desired.

  Moreover, in order to learn the technique of application | coating operation | movement, practice and an effort are needed, but when applying foundation to skin directly, for example, it may burden the skin by practicing many times.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides an application operation training apparatus that visualizes the force application and operation tempo in a cosmetic application operation and learns the technique of the cosmetic application operation. For the purpose.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is an application operation training apparatus that trains a user's intended cosmetic application operation by a pseudo cosmetic application operation on a member to be applied, the user's cosmetic A detecting means for detecting a pressing force on the application target member by an application operation; a pressing force detected by the detecting means; a predetermined pressing force on the application target member obtained from the acquired pressing force; and Measuring means for measuring the speed of the cosmetic application operation obtained from a predetermined pressing force; a predetermined pressing force and speed measured by the measuring means; and a preset pressing force and speed of the cosmetic application operation Evaluation means for comparing and evaluating the user's cosmetic application operation according to the comparison result obtained, the pressing force acquired by the measurement means, and the measurement And having a speed measured by the stage, and a screen generation means for generating a screen displaying the evaluation contents were evaluated by the evaluation unit.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it becomes possible to learn the technique of cosmetics application | coating operation | movement by visualizing the condition of the force in operation | movement of cosmetics application | coating, and the tempo of operation | movement.

<About the present invention>
The present invention provides an application operation training apparatus for training, for example, a cosmetic application operation intended by a user by a pseudo cosmetic application operation on a member to be applied that simulates skin. This application operation training device visualizes the force applied by the cosmetic application operation, the tempo (rhythm) of the operation, and the like, and evaluates it compared with the cosmetic application operation as a model for makeup artists. As a result, it is possible to specifically transmit the professional cosmetic application operation to the user and easily learn professional techniques.

<Schematic diagram of application operation training device (hardware configuration)>
FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a coating operation training apparatus according to the present embodiment. The cosmetic application operation of the present embodiment refers to an application operation when applying cosmetics such as foundation, lotion, emulsion, massage cream, etc. to the skin using application means such as sponge, finger, brush, etc. Show.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the application amount of the cosmetic can be adjusted by adjusting the force when each application means is used, and a foundation will be described as an example of the cosmetic. In addition, in addition to powders, liquids, semi-solids, emulsions, and the like, foundations are intended for all types that can be collected and applied by the application means.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the application operation training device 10 includes an application target member 20, an acrylic plate 30, a force sensor 40, a terminal device 50, a signal amplifier 60, a power supply unit 70, and an A / D. The conversion unit 80 is configured.

  The application target member 20 is placed on the acrylic plate 30 and the force sensor 40 is used in a state of being placed under the acrylic plate 30. The user performs a cosmetic application operation on the application target member 20 arranged in this manner using an application unit in a pseudo manner.

  The application target member 20 is made of, for example, silicon rubber, and has elasticity and reproduces the skin color. Therefore, when the user actually applies the foundation to the application target member 20, the application state is close to the skin. Can be reproduced. In addition, the application target member 20 is configured, for example, as a simulation of the skin (for example, cheeks, around the eyes, mouth, lips, chin, and forehead) around each characteristic part included on the face of the human body.

  The size of the application target member 20 is, for example, 19.1 cm × 12.9 cm (application portion), 19.8 cm × 13.5 cm (bottom surface), the entire shape is trapezoidal, the weight is about 126.5 g, and the thickness is Is configured as approximately 6 mm.

  The acrylic plate 30 is used as a pedestal for placing the application target member 20 on the force sensor 40, and when the user performs a cosmetic application operation on the application target member 20, the input of the force sensor 40 is performed. Used as a surface. The specific arrangement of the acrylic plate 30 and the force sensor 40 will be described later.

  By setting the size of the acrylic plate 30 to, for example, about A5 size, it is possible to increase the surface area for arranging the application target member 20 even when the force sensor 40 is small. In addition, the acrylic board 30 may be comprised by fixing members, such as a metal which can fix and arrange | position the application target member 20 on the force sensor 40, for example.

  The force sensor 40 uses, for example, a 6-axis force sensor used for a fingertip of a robot to detect a force application force of the cosmetic application operation on the application target member 20 (force to press the skin) as a pressing force. To do. The 6-axis force sensor detects a torque at the time of pressing and rotation on three axes of xyz by a strain gauge incorporated in the sensor.

  For example, when a 6-axis force sensor is used as the force sensor 40, z detected as a force applied in the vertical direction among the pressing force of the user applied to the application target member 20 detected by the 6-axis force sensor. Use direction output. As the 6-axis force sensor, for example, “Bell ThinNano Sensor” manufactured by BRL Autotech Co., Ltd. can be used, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  Since the force sensor 40 detects the pressing force as, for example, “kgF”, a scale such as an electronic balance capable of weight measurement may be used instead of the 6-axis force sensor.

  In addition, while being able to use the input device comprised from the application | coating object member 20, the acrylic board 30, and the force sensor 40, for example on a desk flatly, it is also possible for a user to have by hand, It is also possible to use it in a vertical orientation by imitating the angle when the user actually applies to the application target person.

  As described above, the cosmetic application operation is performed on the application target member 20 instead of the actual skin by using the application means such as the user's finger A, sponge, and brush shown in FIG. This is executed and a pressing force or the like accompanying the cosmetic application operation is detected.

  As the terminal device 50, for example, a general-purpose OS-equipped notebook PC or the like is used, and is connected to the force sensor 40 via the A / D conversion unit 80. A digital signal converted by the A / D converter 80 is input to the terminal device 50.

  The terminal device 50 acquires a pressing force associated with the cosmetic application operation from the input digital signal, measures a predetermined pressing force from the acquired pressing force, and uses the measured predetermined pressing force to perform the cosmetic application operation. Calculate the tempo (rhythm) and measure it as speed. A method of measuring a predetermined pressing force and tempo (speed) accompanying the cosmetic application operation will be described later.

  The terminal device 50 is preliminarily set with optimum values such as pressing force and tempo (speed) obtained from a cosmetic application operation by a makeup artist as a model, and evaluates the user's cosmetic application operation. The pressing force obtained from the user's cosmetic application operation, the operation tempo (speed), and the like are displayed.

  The signal amplifier 60 is connected to the force sensor 40, amplifies the output signal from the force sensor 40, and outputs the amplified signal to the A / D converter 80.

  The power supply unit 70 acquires power from, for example, an outlet and supplies power to each component of the application operation training device 10.

  The A / D conversion unit 80 is, for example, an A / D conversion card corresponding to a PCI card bus in order to capture the analog output of the force sensor 40 into a computer, and converts the analog signal from the force sensor 40 into a digital signal. To do.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the pressing force, the tempo (speed) of the application operation, and the like are measured from the cosmetic application operation of the user performing training, and the cosmetics such as the foundation are effectively finished. Quantitatively evaluate application action. In addition, by displaying the pressing force, tempo (speed), and the like obtained from the cosmetic application operation, it is possible to train many times while objectively grasping the cosmetic application operation performed by the user. Thereby, it becomes possible to learn the cosmetics application technique easily.

<Arrangement of acrylic plate 30 and force sensor 40>
Here, the arrangement of the force sensor 40 and the acrylic plate 30 described above will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the arrangement of the force sensor and the acrylic plate.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the acrylic plate 30 is viewed from above, the acrylic plate 30 is disposed in contact with the sensor head of the force sensor 40, and includes screws 31 &#8722; 1 to screws 31 &#8722; 4. It is screwed by. When the acrylic plate 30 and the force sensor 40 are viewed from the side, as shown in a cross-sectional view of the acrylic plate 30, the acrylic plate 30 is provided with holes 32 for embedding screws 31.

  The acrylic plate 30 and the force sensor 40 are fixed by the screw 31 being embedded in the hole 32 of the acrylic plate 30 and being engaged with the upper portion of the force sensor 40.

  The thickness of the acrylic plate 30 is preferably thicker than the height of the head portion of the screw 31 so that the screw 31 does not protrude above the upper surface of the acrylic plate 30.

<Application operation training device: functional configuration example>
Next, the functional configuration of the application operation training apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows an example of a functional configuration of the application operation training apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the application operation training apparatus 10 includes an input unit 91, an output unit 92, a recording unit 93, a detection unit 94, a measurement unit 95, an evaluation unit 96, a screen generation unit 97, And control means 98.

  By having the above-described configuration, the application operation training device 10 can train the user's intended cosmetic application operation by a pseudo cosmetic application operation on the application target member 20.

  The input unit 91 includes, for example, a keyboard, a pointing device such as a mouse, a touch panel, and the like, and receives inputs such as start and end of various instructions from the user.

  For example, the input unit 91 measures a pressing force, a speed, and the like by a cosmetic application operation as a model in advance, and instructs a calibration mode for setting an optimum value, and a pressing operation acquired from the user's cosmetic application operation. An instruction of a recording mode for recording pressure, etc., an instruction of a reproduction mode for displaying and reproducing the acquired pressing force, measured speed, etc. by a line graph or the like are received.

  The output unit 92 includes a display screen such as a display, for example. The output unit 92 displays the content input by the input unit 91, the content executed based on the input content, or the like using the audio output unit such as a speaker. Is output. For example, the output unit 92 displays a graph of pressing force and speed generated by the user's cosmetic application operation generated by the screen generation unit 97, evaluation contents for the user's cosmetic application operation, and the like. Further, the output unit 92 outputs a warning sound at the time of the application operation training of the user, a sound generated by the application operation of the user, a sound generated in accordance with the tempo serving as a model, and the like.

  The recording means 93 stores various data such as the pressing force detected by the detecting means 94, the measured values such as the predetermined pressing force and speed measured by the measuring means 95, and the pressing force and speed as preset optimum values. Record. The recording means 93 can read out various data recorded as necessary.

  The detection means 94 includes the application target member 20, the acrylic plate 30, the force sensor 40, and the like, and detects a pressing force from a cosmetic application operation on the application target member 20 by a user or the like.

  The measuring means 95 acquires the pressing force detected by the detecting means 94, and of the acquired pressing force, for example, the peak value of the pressing force in a section in which a predetermined pressing force is maintained for a predetermined time or more ( Maximum value) is measured as a predetermined pressing force.

  The measuring means 95 measures the time interval of the obtained predetermined pressing force as the tempo (rhythm) of the cosmetic application operation, that is, the speed of the cosmetic application operation. Specifically, the measuring means 95 holds the peak value of the pressing force, measures the time interval from the held peak value of the pressing force to the next peak value of the pressing force, and determines the tempo of the cosmetic application operation ( Speed). Alternatively, the average value of the plurality of time intervals described above may be measured and used as the tempo (speed) of the cosmetic application operation.

  The evaluation means 96 compares the predetermined pressing force and speed, etc., determined by the user's cosmetic application operation measured by the measuring means 95 with the pressing force and speed set in advance from the cosmetic application operation as a model. The user's cosmetic application operation is quantitatively evaluated according to the comparison result.

  Specifically, the evaluation unit 96 corresponds to a cosmetic application operation that is a predetermined reference (example) based on a predetermined pressing force, speed, and the like by the user's cosmetic application operation measured by the measurement unit 95. By comparing with the allowable ranges (widths) such as the pressing force and speed, it is evaluated whether the user's cosmetic application operation is performed correctly.

  In addition, the allowable range of the pressing force and speed set in advance can be further adjusted according to the skill level (advance level) of the user. For example, the adjustment value of the allowable range that is ± 3%, ± 5%, ± 10% of the upper and lower limits of the set allowable range is compared with the user's predetermined pressing force and speed, respectively. May be. The method for adjusting the allowable range will be described later.

  Moreover, the evaluation means 96 can also perform final evaluation through the whole after a series of cosmetics application | coating operation | movement by a user is complete | finished. In that case, for example, when a predetermined ratio (for example, 80% or more) of the series of cosmetic application operations is included in the allowable range of the pressing force and speed described above, “OK” is set. Otherwise, “NG” is assumed.

  Further, as a final evaluation, an evaluation may be performed such that the level of the cosmetic application operation is determined by a five-step evaluation or a numerical value. In addition, the evaluation result mentioned above may differ for every pattern of application | coating operation | movement, and may be performed as comprehensive evaluation with respect to several cosmetics application | coating operation | movement.

  The screen generation unit 97 generates a screen that displays the pressing force acquired by the measurement unit 95 and the measured speed. At this time, the screen generation unit 97 may generate a screen that displays the evaluation content evaluated by the evaluation unit 96 together with the allowable range set from the cosmetic application operation as a model described above.

  For example, the screen generating unit 97 generates a screen that displays the user's pressing force acquired by the measuring unit 95 as a line graph or the like corresponding to the passage of time and displays the measured speed as a bar graph or the like. A specific example of the display screen will be described later.

  As a result, it is possible to objectively grasp the cosmetic application operation performed by the user himself / herself, as well as the force applied (adjustment) and the tempo (speed) of the operation associated with the cosmetic application operation as a model for the user. Can be transmitted specifically.

  The control means 98 controls the entire components of the application operation training apparatus 10. For example, the control unit 98 causes the measurement unit 94 to acquire the pressing force of the user based on an instruction from the input unit 91 by the user or the like, and measures a predetermined pressing force, speed, or the like from the acquired pressing force, and evaluates it. Each control is performed such as evaluating a predetermined pressing force or speed of the user by means 96 and generating a screen on which the evaluation content is displayed by the screen generating means 97.

<Application operation training procedure in this embodiment>
Next, the application operation training procedure in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the application operation training processing procedure according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the user selects a cosmetic application operation for performing training from the display screen of the terminal device 50, for example (S10). Here, the user selects application means, cosmetics, and the like as specific contents of the cosmetic application operation. For example, “sponge” is selected from among sponges, fingers, brushes and the like as the application means, and “powder foundation” is selected from among the foundations as cosmetics, for example.

  Next, the user sets cosmetic application conditions from the display screen (S11). For example, the user sets a site to be applied, a state of skin to be applied, and the like as contents to be set in the cosmetic application condition. That is, for example, “cheek” is set as the site to be applied, and “dry skin” is set as the state of the skin to be applied. In S11, for example, age, sex, stain, redness, etc. may be set as conditions.

  Next, the user actually attaches “powder foundation” to “sponge” as selected in S10, and then executes a cosmetic application operation on the application target member 20 (S12).

  The detecting means 94 detects the pressing force from the user's cosmetic application operation performed in S12, and the measuring means 95 acquires the pressing force detected by the detecting means 94 and obtains a predetermined pressure obtained from the acquired pressing force. The pressing force and the speed (tempo) obtained from the predetermined pressing force are measured (S13).

  Next, the evaluation unit 96 compares the predetermined pressing force and speed measured by the measuring unit 95 with the allowable ranges of the pressing force and speed obtained from the cosmetic application operation as a reference set in advance. The user's cosmetic application operation is evaluated (S14).

  Next, the screen generation means 97 displays the pressing force acquired by the measurement means 95 in S13 and the speed measured by the measurement means 95 in the graph area where the allowable range is displayed, and the evaluation means 96 in S14. The contents of evaluation evaluated by (1) are displayed (S15).

  Next, the control means 98 determines whether or not the cosmetic application operation has been completed (S16). If it is determined that the cosmetic application operation has ended (YES in S16), the evaluation means 96 ends from the user's cosmetic application operation. The final evaluation up to is performed (S17). Here, for example, a final evaluation is performed on how the foundation is finished by a series of coating operations.

  If control means 98 determines that the cosmetic application operation has not been completed (NO in S16), the control means 98 returns to the processing in S13.

  Next, the screen generation means 97 displays the result of the final evaluation evaluated by the evaluation means 96 in S17 (S18), and ends the process.

<Measurement method of pressing force and speed in cosmetic application operation>
Next, a method for measuring a predetermined pressing force and speed of the cosmetic application operation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a method of measuring a predetermined pressing force and speed of the cosmetic application operation.

  As shown in FIG. 5, after the user's finger A touches the application target member 20 and presses the application target member 20, the cosmetic application operation is performed until the user's finger A is separated from the application target member 20. Apply once. Here, when the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents the pressing force, the pressing force B varies corresponding to the application operation.

  The measuring means 95 according to the present embodiment acquires the pressing force B detected by the detecting means 94, and in the acquired pressing force B, the pressing force in a section where a predetermined pressing force is maintained for a predetermined time or more. The peak value (maximum value) is measured as a predetermined pressing force. Specifically, the pressing force in a section where the pressing force (for example, 0.01 kgF or more) indicated by the dotted line C in FIG. 5 is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 s) indicated by the arrow D is maintained. The peak value E is measured as a predetermined pressing force.

  The measuring means 95 holds a peak value E of the pressing force, measures a time interval F (for example, unit sec) from the held peak value E of the pressing force to the next peak value E, and tempo of the application operation. That is, the speed. Note that the average value of the time interval F in a preset number of application operations (for example, about 5 to 10 times) may be used as the tempo (speed) of the application operation. The preset number of times can be recorded, for example, in the recording means 93 or an external file, and can be changed as appropriate.

<Display contents displayed on the display screen>
Next, an example of display contents displayed on the display screen of the application operation training device 10 (display of the terminal device 50) will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a pressing force graph displayed on the display screen. FIG. 7 shows an example of a speed graph displayed on the display screen. 6 and 7 are examples of screens displayed by the process of S15 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the display screen of the application operation training device 10 is provided with, for example, a pressing force display area 51-1, which is detected by the detection means 94 as a result of the cosmetic application operation, and is measured by the measurement means 95. Is displayed in real time by a line graph 52-1 corresponding to the passage of time. In the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pressing force may be once recorded in the recording means 93 and then reproduced as the line graph 52-1.

  In the line graph 52-1, the vertical axis indicates the pressing force (kgF), the horizontal axis indicates the time (sec), the display area is variable, and the line graph 52-1 indicates the arrow direction shown in FIG. Is displayed. In the pressing force display area 51-1, an upper limit line 53A-1 and a lower limit line 53B-1 of an allowable width (range) set from the optimum value of the pressing force are displayed. As will be described later, the permissible width can be adjusted and displayed according to the skill level of the user.

  An evaluation area 53C-1 is provided above the pressing force display area 51-1, and the contents evaluated by the evaluation means 96, for example, “too strong”, are displayed. In addition, you may display the numerical value of actual pressing force in this upper area | region.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, a pressing force display area 51-2 may be provided, and the peak value E measured by the measuring means 95 may be displayed by a line graph 52-2. Thereby, the locus of the peak value E indicating how the peak value E of the pressing force has changed can be displayed, and the result of training can be easily confirmed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7A, a bar graph area 54 is provided as a speed display area on the display screen of the application operation training apparatus 10, and the speed measured by the measuring means 95 (the tempo of the cosmetic application operation). Is displayed by a bar graph 55. Simultaneously with the bar graph 55, the actual speed value (sec) may be displayed.

  In the bar graph area 54, an upper limit line 56A and a lower limit line 56B of an allowable width (range) set based on the optimum value of speed are displayed. The evaluation area 56C above the bar graph area 54 is evaluated by the evaluation means 96. The content, for example “too fast” is displayed.

  The setting of the allowable range of the optimum value for the pressing force and speed described above will be described later.

  The speed display is not limited to a bar graph, and may be displayed as a speed meter 57 or a digital meter as shown in FIG. Further, it may be displayed as a block like a level indicator indicating sound pressure.

<Overview of display screen startup operation>
Next, the basic operation of the display screen of the application operation training device 10 (display of the terminal device 50) will be described. The screens shown in FIGS. 6 to 7 and the like described above are performed by a preset icon or the like displayed on the display screen, and are terminated by a dedicated button (hidden mode) or the like.

  The execution mode includes, for example, “calibration mode”, “training mode”, and the like, and these can be selected by a screen button (for example, toggle type ON-OFF display).

  Here, the “calibration mode” records and measures the cosmetic application operation of a makeup artist or the like as a model in advance, and sets the optimum value such as the pressing force and speed of the cosmetic application operation as a reference for evaluation. This is the mode to set. In the calibration mode, the measuring unit 95 records and measures the pressing force and speed of the cosmetic application operation performed within a predetermined time (for example, about 10 seconds), and stores it in the recording unit 93.

  The measuring means 95 stores, for example, all the data detected within a predetermined time and the peak value E measured as described above as the data of the pressing force as a model, for example, all the peaks included within the predetermined time. The average value of the value E is set as the optimum value of the pressing force. Further, the measuring means 95 obtains the time intervals F of all the peak values E included in the predetermined time, and for example, sets the average value of the obtained time intervals F as the optimum value of speed (tempo).

  In addition, the optimum values for the pressing force and speed of the cosmetic application operation that serves as a model are set for each pattern of the application operation, such as the application method, application site, skin condition, and cosmetics. Save the optimum value and read it out if necessary.

  Further, the measuring means 95 provides an allowable width (range) for the optimum value of the pressing force and the optimum value of the speed, respectively. Specifically, an upper limit value and a lower limit value that are increased or decreased by a predetermined ratio (for example, ± 5%) are set to the optimum value of the pressing force and the optimum value of the speed described above, and the allowable range is set.

  The screen generating means 97 displays the allowable width set in this way as a band line having a width parallel to the time axis on the line graph of the pressing force, as shown in FIGS. Or as a band line that crosses the speed bar graph vertically. Thereby, when a user trains, it becomes easier to train rather than visually learning the strength of the pressing force and the magnitude of the speed depending on whether it is above or below the optimum value.

  The predetermined ratio for providing the above-described allowable width can be recorded in advance in the recording means 93 or an external file, and can be changed as appropriate.

  The “training mode” is a mode in which the user trains to learn the pressing force and speed (tempo) of the cosmetic application operation as a model. In the training mode, the measuring unit 95 measures and records the pressing force and speed obtained from the user's cosmetic application operation, and the screen generating unit 97 displays the measured pressing force and speed on a graph and the calibration. Displays each tolerance set in the mode.

  The allowable range set in the calibration mode can be adjusted again according to the skill level of the user. For example, when a user with a low skill level performs training, it may be difficult to control the user so as to be within an allowable range, and the user's motivation may be reduced. Therefore, in consideration of the skill level of the user, the adjustment amount such as ± 3%, ± 5%, ± 10%, etc. is further adjusted with respect to the upper limit value and the lower limit value set as the above-described allowable range.

  Here, FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an allowable range to be adjusted in the training mode. FIG. 8A shows an allowable width adjustment screen for adjusting the allowable width displayed in the training mode. The screen includes an allowable width adjustment area 58A for pressing force and an allowable width adjustment area 58B for speed (tempo). And are provided.

  “Large”, “Medium”, “Small”, and “None” can be selected for the allowable pressure adjustment range 58A and the allowable speed adjustment range 58B, respectively. Here, “large” is “± 10%” with respect to the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the allowable range, similarly “medium” is “± 5%”, and “small” is “± 3%”. A numerical value is assigned in advance, such as “%”. It should be noted that this numerical ratio can be freely changed.

  In this way, the allowable width adjustment screen is presented to the user, and the adjustment for changing the allowable width is prompted at the start of training so that the adjustment amount can be selected. FIG. 8B is a diagram illustrating a pressing force display area in which the allowable width is adjusted. In FIG. 8B, an upper limit adjustment line 58C and a lower limit adjustment line 58D indicating the allowable width adjusted by the user with respect to the upper limit line 53A-1 and the lower limit line 53B-1 of the allowable width are displayed.

  By adjusting the permissible range according to the skill level of the user, first practice with the permissible range adjusted by ± 10%, and when it falls within this permissible range, the next is practice with the permissible range adjusted by ± 5% As a result, it is possible to improve the level. Moreover, it becomes possible to aim at learning in a state where there is no such adjustment.

  In the training mode, the evaluation unit 96 compares the peak value E of the user's pressing force obtained from the measurement unit 95 with the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the above-described allowable width, so that the user's cosmetic application operation is performed. Evaluate the pressing force.

  Further, the screen generation means 97 displays, for example, “too strong” on the display screen as the evaluation contents. The screen generation means 97 changes the line color of the drawn graph as shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 7 or the like according to the evaluation result, or sounds a warning sound when it falls outside the allowable range described above. You may do it. Thereby, it is possible to call the user's attention. In addition, when it is within the allowable range, “optimal” is displayed. Such display is performed on the latest data (real-time area) and the like.

  Further, the evaluation unit 96 calculates the speed (tempo) and the allowable range obtained by calculating the average value of the time interval F of the peak value E after the measurement unit 95 measures the predetermined number of times (for example, about 5 to 10 times). The speed (tempo) of the user's cosmetic application operation is evaluated by comparing the upper limit value and the lower limit value.

  The screen generation means 97 displays, for example, “too late” on the display screen as the evaluation contents, and changes the color of the bar graph as shown in FIG. When the calculated speed is within the allowable range, “best” is displayed.

  As described above, when the allowable range is adjusted, the evaluation unit 96 determines the peak value E of the user's pressing force measured by the measuring unit 95 and the upper limit adjustment value and the lower limit of the adjusted allowable range of the pressing force. Compare and evaluate the adjustment value. The evaluation unit 96 performs evaluation by comparing the speed calculated by the measuring unit 95 with the upper limit adjustment value and the lower limit adjustment value in the allowable range of the adjusted speed.

  Here, FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a screen in which a mark indicating the tempo (timing) of the application operation is displayed in the pressing force display area. As shown in FIG. 9, the screen generation unit 97 performs, for example, a cosmetic application operation (for example, putting) set as an optimum value of the speed on the upper limit line 53A-1 of the allowable width in the pressing force display area 51-1, for example. Or the like) (for example, a downward arrow) 59 may be displayed. By displaying such a mark, the user can visually recognize the timing (tempo) of the application operation while watching the force of the pressing force.

  Furthermore, the application target member 20 constituting the above-described detection means 94 may hardly move, for example, when the application target member 20 itself is pushed in or pushed back by the user's cosmetic application operation. In such a case, some users may not be able to get a feeling that the cosmetic application operation is being performed.

  Therefore, for example, the peak value may be detected by the measuring means 95 and a sound may be generated at the same time, and the user may be reminded of the application operation from the hearing. At this time, for example, by generating a sound different from the sound generated by the user's application operation in accordance with the speed (tempo) used as an example, the sound generated by the user and the sound generated by the user's application operation It is possible to train to match. As a result, the user can learn the speed through hearing.

  Note that the measurement means 95 can record and measure all the pressing force, speed, and other data of the performed cosmetic application operation in the recording means 93 as in the calibration mode.

  As described above, by visualizing the cosmetic application operation by the pressing force, speed, etc., the user can apply the pressing force of the cosmetic application operation as a model by performing the application operation with what pressing force and speed. It is possible to learn cosmetic application techniques while checking whether the speed can be approached.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the pressing force and the speed are displayed has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in order to express a more realistic application state, the skin and the face are displayed. Various drawing variations such as displaying a CG illustration simulating the above and expressing the adhesion state of powder such as a foundation according to the measured pressing force are possible. As a result, it can be expressed in a mechanism that is more interesting to the user, leading to improved motivation for training.

  Further, as described above, the contents to be applied include, for example, application means (sponge, finger, brush, etc.), cosmetics (eg, foundation, lotion, emulsion, massage oil, etc.), foundation (eg, powder, liquid, etc.) , Semi-solid, emulsion, etc.), makeup location (cheek, forehead, chin, etc.), age (10s-60s, etc.), sex, etc. It is also possible to train the makeup application operation according to the makeup content suitable for the purpose.

  The force sensor 40 described above uses only the output in the z direction, which is the vertical force detected by the six-axis force sensor, as the pressing force, but is not limited to this in the present invention. It is also possible to obtain position information in contact with the application target member 20 by using a force in the xy direction, which is a vertical and horizontal force, an inclination due to rotation, and the like. As a result, not only the operation of striking in the cosmetic application operation but also the application method of rubbing the skin surface can be targeted for training.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to learn the cosmetic application technique by visualizing the force application and the operation tempo in the cosmetic application operation.

The invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described based on the preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to that described in the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Is possible.
