Description

  The present invention, for example, by connecting a skin measuring device to a mobile client (mobile terminal) that can be connected to a network mainly wirelessly such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet, etc., and sending and receiving data via the network, The present invention relates to a skin condition measurement analysis information management system and a skin condition measurement analysis information management method for performing measurement of skin conditions and analysis of measurement results, and managing measurement result data and analysis result data (measurement data, analysis result data).

  In general, in the sale of skin care cosmetics and beauty equipment (skin care device: care esthetic device), for example, in order to know the skin condition, take a picture of the skin using a camera for skin and shoot the skin condition. After grasping, it is performed to sell skin care cosmetics, facial cleansing products, and skin care devices corresponding to the skin condition. In this case, not only a skin condition measuring device (skin camera) that shoots an enlarged surface of the skin but also various skin measuring devices such as a measuring device that measures the moisture content of the skin may be used. Yes, the skin state is determined from the enlarged image of the skin, or the skin state is determined from the moisture content of the skin.

  In this case, it is necessary to go to a store where a skin measuring device is installed for measuring the skin condition, the skin condition can be determined from the measurement result, and there is a salesclerk who can advise a skin care method from the skin condition. However, since it is troublesome to go to the store, or it is troublesome to recommend the purchase of goods after going to the store and receiving the above services, it is necessary to check the skin condition regularly It was difficult to do.

  Therefore, a skin condition measuring apparatus as a peripheral device is connected to a portable wireless terminal that can access the Internet via a wireless telephone line such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, or a tablet, or another wireless communication line. Alternatively, a built-in device such as a camera provided in the portable wireless terminal is used as at least a part of the skin condition measuring apparatus. And by sending the data, which is the measurement result of the skin condition measuring device, to the server of the supplier who analyzes the skin condition from the measurement result using the portable wireless terminal, it is not necessary to go to the cosmetics sales store. Systems that can analyze the state of the skin have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 5). In this case, for example, the server that has received the measurement data automatically analyzes the measurement result, or displays the measurement data and causes the operator to input the analysis result.

  In this case, it is necessary to purchase a skin condition measuring device, but by using such a skin measurement system, it is possible to perform skin measurement periodically in a relatively short period without imposing a burden on the user. It becomes possible.

JP 2005-148797 A JP 2004-354207 A JP 2005-56165 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-15068 JP 2002-366651 A

  By the way, unless the user uses a camera built in the wireless portable terminal, the user basically needs to purchase a skin condition measuring device such as a skin camera. Further, the user may be charged to analyze the measurement result, and there is a risk that the threshold will be high to know the skin condition regularly.

  On the other hand, on the server side to which the measurement data is sent, for example, the measurement data and its analysis result can be accumulated. In addition, analysis of measurement data may require member registration with the company providing the service. When registering as a member, name, address, phone number, e-mail address, date of birth, gender, etc. You may be asked to enter your personal information or ask for cooperation in a questionnaire.

  In this case, if the number of users increases, data such as skin measurement results, analysis results, etc., and information related to these data, such as age, gender, and residential area based on data at the time of member registration and questionnaire data, are provided. Accumulated.

  If the amount of this accumulated data increases, this data can be analyzed and used for the development of new skin care products, but at present, it is accumulated by having the skin measurement results transmitted. Data is not used effectively.

  In stores such as esthetic salons, for example, various types of care using skin care equipment such as body care and facial care are performed. Even at home, small esthetic equipment (skin care equipment) is used. More and more people are doing skin care.

  When using these skin care devices, there may be a case where an effect is felt sensibly from the feeling of touching the skin, but the effect of skin care is not necessarily clear. Also, it is not clear how long the skin care device is effective and how often it is effective.

In addition, in order to make it easy for users to use the analysis of measurement results using a skin condition measurement device via a network such as the Internet, the analysis is free of charge or the price of the skin condition measurement device is reduced. Is preferable. In this case, the number of members can be increased due to a synergistic effect of the free analysis of the skin measurement result and the price reduction of the skin condition measuring apparatus.
Here, when a skin condition measuring device sales company provides a skin measurement result analysis service, other companies can sell skin condition measuring devices of the same standard. If you can send the same measurement results as the skin condition measurement device of the vendor that provides the service, the user of the skin condition measurement device of another company and the user of the skin condition measurement device of the sales company that provides the service Similar service may be available. That is, for example, when an application for a skin condition measuring device is installed on a smartphone and the skin condition measuring device of another company can be recognized as the skin condition measuring device, the service of the other skin condition measuring device can be enjoyed. There is sex. In this case, the sales of the skin condition measuring device of the sales company that provides the service may be adversely affected, making it difficult to provide the service free of charge.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and connects a skin condition measuring device to a user client (smartphone) and transmits it to a server of a company that provides a service for analyzing measurement data by the skin condition measuring device.

According to the skin condition measurement / analysis information management system and the skin condition measurement / analysis method of the present invention, the measurement data of the skin condition measured by the skin condition measuring device is transmitted to the data management server via the network by the user portable terminal. It will be.
At this time, for example, the user needs to set a customer ID, and inputs various data according to a request from the data management server. At this time, for example, a name, an address, various telephone numbers, a mail address, or the like may be input as predetermined personal information that is user data.

In addition, in the case of enabling the purchase of goods and services in the skin condition measurement analysis information management system, credit card information for settlement may be included as predetermined personal information. Information such as cosmetics, skin care products, and supplements that are used may be arbitrarily input as user data based on a request from the data management server as a questionnaire or the like.
In the data management server, when user data is input from the user client, it is registered in the user data database. In the user data database, user data can be searched by customer ID.

Further, for example, the user client measures the skin condition using a skin condition measuring device connected based on a user operation, and after the measurement data is obtained, sends the measurement data together with the customer ID to the data management server. .
When the measurement data is input together with the customer ID to the data management server, the skin analysis apparatus acquires the measurement data, and the analysis result associated with the input measurement data or the measurement data approximated thereto in the data analysis database. To get. The data analysis database stores measurement data and analysis result data corresponding to the measurement data in advance. For example, the measurement data accumulated so far and the analysis result of the measurement data are stored. It is related.

The obtained analysis result data is transmitted to the user client via, for example, a data management server or by mail, and the analysis result data can be viewed on the user client.
Also, incidental data obtained by removing predetermined personal information from the measurement data, analysis result data, and user data is associated with the customer ID and registered in the measurement data database.

  In the incidental data excluding the predetermined personal information from the user data, the predetermined personal information is basically information that may identify an individual. For example, name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card Information. Auxiliary data obtained by removing predetermined personal information from user data is, for example, used cosmetics, skin care agents (body oil, bathing agents, etc.), skin care equipment (esthetic equipment), and regular intake. Data on responses to questionnaires such as supplements, data that changed personal information so that individuals could not be identified, such as residential area (such as a rough address, such as prefecture or city), rough age (for example, teens, 20's, 30's, etc.) and the date and time of measurement as data that can be obtained during measurement.

  Here, the user can, for example, repeatedly measure and analyze the skin condition. For example, the measurement data and analysis result data as a time series according to the measurement date and time of the measurement data, the reception date and time at the data management server, and the like. Can be read from the measurement data database.

  For example, by allowing many users to use the skin condition measurement data analysis service by making analysis of skin condition measurement data free, the measurement data database contains measurement data for many users. Is accumulated, and each user may repeatedly use the analysis service to obtain time-series measurement data.

  In this case, for example, a manufacturer developing various cosmetics and skin care products can use the measurement data of the skin state accumulated in the measurement data server for product development, skin research, and the like. In addition, in the measurement data server, incidental data excluding predetermined personal information among user data input by the user is associated with the measurement data via the customer ID. Here, when inputting user data, if requested from the data management server side, for example, if the user inputs cosmetics, skin care products, etc. that are being used, then compared to the case of only measurement data Useful data can be obtained.

  In the present invention, the measurement data can be browsed by contract. At this time, the type of incidental data that can be viewed is determined for each contractor ID of each contractor based on the contract. That is, the type of incidental data viewed by the contractor at the time of contract is determined. In this case, a plurality of types of incidental data may be browseable, or all types of incidental data may be browseable.

At this time, it is possible to rank each type of incidental data so that the higher the browsing level determined at the time of the contract, the higher the rank of the incidental data that can be browsed.
In the data analysis management server, when a data browsing request is input from the contractor client together with the contractor ID, the contractor database is searched by the contractor ID, and the type of incidental data associated with the contractor ID Based on the above, the incidental data and measurement data of that type are transmitted to the contractor client so that they can be viewed.

For example, the contractor selects a necessary type from the various types of incidental data at the time of contracting and contracts with the operator of the data management server. At this time, for example, a contract is made to pay an extra charge corresponding to each type. Thereby, the contractor can obtain useful incidental data.
As a result, the operator of the data management server (for example, the manufacturer or sales company of the skin condition measurement device) can be contracted (for example, a cosmetic company such as a cosmetic manufacturer or sales company, a manufacturer or sales company of skin care products, an When contracting with a device manufacturer or sales company), it is possible to obtain compensation for viewing the measurement data and incidental data.

  With this consideration, the operation cost and profit of the data management server can be obtained without charging the user. By eliminating the charge to the user, sales of the skin condition measuring device can be promoted, and analysis of measurement data by using the skin condition measuring device can be promoted. Thereby, the data of the measurement data database can be enriched. As a result, it is possible to increase the number of contractors who want to use the measurement data and its accompanying data, and to increase sales.

  In addition, as described above, the measurement data and the analysis result data are stored in the measurement data database as the history according to the acquisition timing of the measurement data and the analysis result data. Makes it possible to view measurement data and analysis result data as time-series data. In this case, when various skin care is performed, it can be judged whether the skin condition is improving, not changing, or worsening, and the current skin care can be maintained or changed. It can be used as a judgment material.

  Further, the user can confirm the contents of the user data database. Therefore, after confirmation, for example, user data can be changed by inputting user data using a user data transmission means. Further, it may be possible to answer a new questionnaire or change the cosmetics and skin care products used as the contents of the previous questionnaire.

  Note that there is no means for transmitting user data database data to the contractor client, and what can be viewed on the contractor client is the measurement data in the measurement data database and the permitted types of incidental data. Data in the database is not transmitted to the contractor client, and predetermined personal information is protected. Note that the data in the user data database is preferably protected using a known security method.

In the skin condition measuring device, the authentication character string is stored in the device authentication storage means, and in the data management server, when the authentication character string of the skin condition measuring device is transmitted via the user form client, The skin condition measuring apparatus can be authenticated using this authentication character string.
For example, when the data management server is operated by a manufacturer or sales company of a skin condition measuring device, the data analysis management system is a service other than the skin condition measuring device manufactured or sold by the operating company. The output of the analysis result data for the measurement data can be made unavailable.

  When the measurement data analysis service is free as described above, there is a possibility that a person who intends to sell the skin condition measurement device using this analysis service without permission may appear. By authenticating in a row, it becomes a state where only a skin condition measuring device as a regular product that enables analysis of measurement data in the data management server can be used.

  The authentication character string is, for example, generally referred to as serial, is a character string having a predetermined number of characters, and only a character string that meets a predetermined condition in advance among character strings having a predetermined number of characters. However, even if a character string is set at random, the possibility of being authenticated is extremely low.

  The analysis result data output prohibition method may be any method as long as the analysis result data is not output. For example, when an authentication character string is input from the user form client to the data management server. If the authentication is not successful, the communication with the user form client may be prohibited, the measurement data may not be received, or the measurement data may be received, but the analysis result data may be received. May not be acquired, or the acquired analysis result data may not be transmitted even if the analysis result data for the measurement data is acquired.

  In addition, when the measurement data is image data obtained by a skin camera, each skin condition measurement device may vary in brightness, hue, and the like due to individual differences and the like. In this case, there is a possibility that an error when analyzing the image data becomes large. In this case, by storing calibration data for correcting and standardizing individual differences corresponding to each authentication character string in the calibration database, the authentication data is sent to the data management server via the user form client. When image data is input together with a character string, the image data can be calibrated, and analysis result data can be obtained from the data analysis database using the calibrated image data. Further, in the case of a brightness error, the brightness of the illumination provided in the skin camera may be calibrated.

  This makes it possible to clearly analyze the subtle differences in skin tone. Note that the image data captured in accordance with the predetermined condition enables color calibration, for example, by pressing a predetermined color pattern (calibration pattern) against the skin camera.

  A skin care device (skin esthetic device (skin esthetic device)) can be connected to the user client in addition to the skin condition measuring device, and control including setting changes of the skin care device connected from the user client is possible. ing. For example, when the operation ends after a set time from the start of the operation, or when various levels such as strength can be set, it is preferable to be able to control the level to be set or changed.

  Here, the analysis result data associated with the customer ID registered in the measurement data database of the above-described data management server is acquired, and the control method associated with the analysis result data is acquired from the skin care database. This control method is transmitted to the user client, and the work time and various setting levels of the skin care device connected to the user client can be controlled. As the analysis result data, for example, when the skin condition is indicated by a level (from bad condition to good condition) step by step, when the level is high (when skin condition is good), the operation time is shortened When the level is low (when the skin condition is bad), control such as extending the operation time is performed.

Controlling the skin care device in this way enables skin care corresponding to the skin condition. In addition, it is possible to improve the efficiency of time used for skin care and the efficiency of use of a power source such as a battery.
In addition, the user may arbitrarily control the skin care device by the operation of the user client. For example, the user may set the output level (frequency, voltage, current) of the skin care device. In this case, the user client stores control data set by the user in a predetermined storage area. On the other hand, more efficient setting can be achieved by rewriting the control data stored in the storage area on the data management server side. For example, with a skin care device, if you increase the output, you will feel pain etc., so for those who are using it with a smaller output than the appropriate output, rewrite the control data stored in the user client that the data management server, By gradually increasing the output, the skin care device can be used with an appropriate output while suppressing the occurrence of pain.

In the data management server, usage history data is registered in the measurement data database in association with the customer ID.
Therefore, based on the customer ID, the usage history data, the measurement data, and the analysis result data can be viewed, and the effect of improving the skin condition by the skin care device can be confirmed.

  In addition, as shown in Table 2, measurement data input from each skin condition measurement device 1 is registered in the skin history database 5b in association with the customer ID and the data input date and time. In addition, data of each simple diagnosis (analysis) result is registered in association with the measurement data. For example, when measurement data is input from a plurality of types of skin condition measurement devices 1 within a predetermined time range such as within 30 minutes, a comprehensive simple diagnosis is performed, and data of the result of the comprehensive simple diagnosis is obtained. Is registered. Furthermore, when the detailed diagnosis is performed on the measurement data, after the result of the detailed diagnosis is notified, the data of the result of the detailed diagnosis is registered in the detailed diagnosis result database in association with the customer ID and the measurement date and time, In the skin history database, the storage address of the write data in the detailed diagnosis result database is registered.

  In the simple diagnosis, for example, the rank of the skin condition as the measurement data and the diagnosis result data is registered in advance in the skin reference value database 5g as the user analysis server 53, and measured in the skin reference value database 5g. For the measurement data as a result, measurement data that approximates the measurement data of the skin reference value database 5g is selected, and the rank associated with the measurement data is output as a simple diagnosis result. This process is performed by the simple diagnosis program 5f of the data management server 5. Further, when the measurement data is image data as in the case of a skin camera, the image data is captured by the skin camera from the image data as measurement data registered in the skin reference value database 5g by known image recognition. Image data that approximates the image data is selected.

  Further, the detailed diagnosis is performed on the measurement data, for example, at a cosmetic company server (cosmetic company A server 61, cosmetic company B server 61) as a partner company. Basically, like the simple diagnosis, from the database included in the detailed diagnosis system 62 that associates the measurement data and the analysis result data, the measurement data that approximates the measurement data obtained by the skin condition measurement device 1 is selected, The analysis result data associated with the measurement data is output. However, in the detailed diagnosis, for example, the number of registered measurement data and analysis result data are larger than those in the simple diagnosis, and the detailed diagnosis is more detailedly classified in the database for detailed diagnosis. The result can be obtained. In addition, the measurement data registered in the database may be selected by using an algorithm unique to each cosmetic company for detailed diagnosis, and the corresponding analysis result may be obtained.

  As shown in Table 3, the history data on skin care products (cosmetics) and the data on the usage history of skin care products are input to the used cosmetics history database 5d for each type as shown in Table 3. The use history data is input by the user into an item requested to be input from the user analysis management server as a questionnaire at the time of measurement by the above-described skin condition measuring apparatus 1, for example. Note that the input is arbitrary, and the user may not perform the input. In addition, when inputting each skin care product, a manufacturer name or a product name may be input. In this case, the manufacturer and the product name may be displayed on the pull-down menu or the like when inputting from the smartphone 3 and may be selected from the manufacturer and product names.

The care esthetic start date and time indicating the date and time and the care esthetic end date and time indicating the subsequent operation end date and time of the skin care device 2 are registered.

As shown in Table 5, the detailed diagnosis result database 5e registers the result of the above detailed diagnosis in association with the customer ID. The diagnosis date and time (the measurement for which the detailed diagnosis was requested) The data of the detailed diagnosis result may be registered. Also, advice data selected corresponding to the result of the detailed diagnosis and data of recommended cosmetics (skin care products) are registered. The advice data and the recommended cosmetic data are determined by the advice determination unit and the recommended cosmetic determination unit in the cosmetic company A server and the cosmetic company B database. Basically, each advice and recommended cosmetic is associated with each detailed diagnosis result. Once registered and the detailed diagnosis result is determined, advice and recommended cosmetics are determined.
The advice includes, for example, things that should be avoided due to lifestyle habits, skin massage methods, and the like. The recommended cosmetics are cosmetics and skin care products suitable for the skin condition that can be understood from the detailed diagnosis results.

As shown in Table 6, the skin reference value database 5g is used for simple skin diagnosis. Skin texture, skin spots, skin color analysis from image data, and sebum analysis from image data corresponding to measurement data. As a moisture analysis etc. from the data of the transpiration meter, for example, the skin condition is divided into 10 ranks from bad to good, respectively, and each is associated with the measurement data as described above. Yes.
Therefore, by searching the skin reference database with the measurement data measured by the skin condition measuring apparatus 1, a rank indicating the skin condition can be obtained. This rank is the result of simple diagnosis.

As shown in Table 7, the device information database 5i includes a product serial number of each skin condition measuring device 1. And the product serial number of each skin care device 2. Is registered. The product serial number stored in the device information database 5i Thus, authentication may be performed.
As shown in Table 8, in the device information database, the product serial numbers of the above-described skin condition measuring devices 1 and skin care devices 2 are shown. Are associated with customer IDs. As described above, when the serial number is authenticated and the skin condition measuring device 1 and the skin care device 2 are authenticated, the authentication is performed in association with the customer ID corresponding to the smartphone 3 to which each device is connected. Serial number is registered. In this case, for example, one skin condition measuring device 1 or skin care device 2 can be used by sharing up to three people, that is, up to three smartphones 3. Therefore, in the device information database, one product serial No. When the fourth customer ID is registered for the product serial number, the above-described product serial No. is registered via the smartphone 3 of the customer ID. The use of the skin condition measuring device 1 or the skin care device 2 is prohibited. For example, an error occurs in the above-described dedicated application 5j of the smartphone 3, and the skin state measuring device 1 or the skin care device 2 cannot be used.

  As shown in Table 9, the data secondary user access right management database 5h includes a user (contractor, for example, a company developing a skin care day such as a cosmetics company) customer ID, user user ID, and A user password is set, which enables authentication of the data secondary user.

Further, in the data secondary user access right management database 5h, user search level and user access level data and charging information are registered in association with the user ID. The billing information is billing data when the data secondary user searches for data or acquires accessible data, and the user is charged for the data usage fee based on the billing information. .
The usage fee varies depending on the search level and the accelerator level. The more the keyword that can be searched, the higher the usage fee. The higher the accelerator level, the higher the usage fee.

  Table 10 shows differences in search keywords due to specific differences in search levels, and Table 11 shows differences in accessible data due to differences in accelerator levels.

  The age, gender, address 1, address 2, and address 3 are data registered in the above-described customer personal information management database 5a. The database that can be accessed by the secondary data user is the customer personal information management database. Are the skin history database 5b, the used cosmetics history database 5d, and the like.

That is, as the predetermined personal information, the data secondary user cannot see the data of the personal user ID, personal password, name, date of birth, entire address including address 4, e-mail address, billing information, and serial number. The personal information management database 5a cannot be accessed by the user.
Therefore, the user sees data registered in the skin history database 5b or an independent database in association with the customer ID for information on age, gender, address 1, address 2, and address 3.

  The skin condition measurement analysis information management system further includes a calibration database 5m. For example, as shown in Table 12, the calibration database 5m captures a color pattern by associating image data when a monochrome pattern is imaged with a skin camera and imaging with a brightness rank. In this case, the image data and the shade rank are registered in association with each other. As shown in Table 11, for example, 0 to 10 ranks are registered as brightness ranks, and ranks for each blue, green, and red are registered from 0 to 10 as shade ranks.

  The calibration data is obtained by comparing the image data registered corresponding to each rank and the measured image data. For example, rank 5 is standard, and if the rank is lower than that, it is dark or corresponding. When the color is lighter and the rank is higher than that, the lighter or corresponding color becomes darker. By using the calibration data, the lighting LED is dimmed and toned, and the image data is corrected, thereby suppressing the influence of individual skin cameras and the like.

  The skin care database 5n in which the control method of the skin care device 2 is registered in association with the rank as the analysis result data is, for example, as shown in Table 13, the rank in the simple diagnosis using the above-described skin reference value database. The control method in the skin care device 2 is associated.

For example, skin care assuming that the skin condition measuring device 1 is a skin camera texture mode, the skin care device 2 is an ion cleansing device, and the output level in the ion cleansing device can be changed to, for example, three stages. In the database 5l, when the skin texture rank is rank 1 to rank 3, the highest output level is set to 3, and the operation time is set to 15 minutes. When the texture rank is 4 to 7, the output level is 2 in the middle, and the operation time is 10 minutes. Further, when the texture rank is 8 to 10, the output level is set to 1 which is the lowest and the operation time is set to 5 minutes.
Thereby, the skin care apparatus 2 can be used efficiently corresponding to the state of the skin.

  The schedule database 5n in which the use schedule data of the skin care device 2 is registered in association with the rank as the analysis result data is, for example, as shown in Table 14, the rank in the simple diagnosis using the above-described skin reference value database. , The use schedule in the skin care device 2 is associated with the user.

For example, when the measurement means is a skin camera texture mode and the skin care device 2 is an ion cleansing device, the schedule database performs ion cleansing every day when the skin texture rank is rank 1 to rank 3. To do. In addition, when the texture rank is 4 to 7, ion cleansing is performed three times a week, and when the texture rank is 8 to 10, ion cleansing is performed once a week.
Thereby, the skin care apparatus 2 can be used efficiently corresponding to the state of the skin.
Note that the schedule may be made more specific by setting, for example, the day of the week and the time at which ion cleansing is specifically performed from the schedule in the schedule database.

The sensor registration process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
When the menu 1 is selected, or after that, it is determined whether or not the skin condition measuring device 1 (sensor) is connected (step Sc1), and waiting for the skin condition measuring device 1 to be connected; Become.

When the skin condition measuring apparatus 1 is connected to the smartphone 3 via the USB interface 13, as described above, the data indicating the sensor type is read from the device descriptor data of the USB interface 13, and the product serial number is read from the string descriptor. Is read (step Sc2). Product serial No. To determine whether or not the skin condition measuring apparatus 1 has already been registered (step Sc3). If registered, hunting process.
If not registered, sensor type and product serial number Are transmitted to the user analysis management server 5.

  In the user analysis management server 5, the sensor type and product serial No. Is received (step Sd1). In the user analysis management server 5, the product serial No. Is authenticated (step Sd2). The product serial No. Is set according to a predetermined algorithm, and a randomly set character string is a regular product serial number. Is unlikely. Based on the algorithm, the product serial No. It is determined whether or not is genuine. In the device information database 5i, the regular product serial No. Are registered, and the product serial number is stored in the device information database 5i. If it is not possible to search, authentication may fail.

In addition, the product serial No. If the authentication fails, a corresponding error message, for example, this sensor cannot be used is generated (step Sd3).
In addition, the product serial No. If the authentication of the same product serial number is already performed in the device information database. Is associated with the customer ID corresponding to the other smartphone 3, and if the customer ID of the other smartphone 3 has already been associated, is the associated customer ID less than three? It is determined whether or not (step Sd4).

  Here, when three customer IDs are already associated, the corresponding error message is “The number of smartphones 3 using this skin condition measuring device 1 exceeds the limit. A message “The skin condition measuring apparatus 1 cannot be used” is generated (step Sd3).

  Product serial No. If there are less than three customer IDs associated with the product serial number, The skin condition measuring apparatus 1 can be used. In this case, the sensor type and product serial No. Are registered in the customer personal information management database as the sensor information database and the device information database (step Sd5).

Next, data indicating a successful authentication or a failed authentication is transmitted to the smartphone 3 as a processing result in the data management server 5 (step Sd6). In the case of authentication failure, the above error message is transmitted to the smartphone 3.
The smartphone 3 receives the data (step Sc5), and determines whether or not the registration is complete depending on whether or not the data indicating successful authentication is received. (Step Sc6)

  If the registration is unsuccessful, the received error message is displayed on the display (step Sc7). If the registration is completed, the sensor type and the product serial number are also stored in the storage means inside the smartphone 3. Is registered (step Sc8), and when the skin condition measuring device 1 is connected to the smartphone 3, the registered product serial No. is registered. By confirming the above, control is performed so that authentication is not performed when registration is completed as described above.

Next, the skin diagnosis of menu 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, when you start the app, a menu screen will appear. Here, when the skin condition measuring device 1 is connected, it is determined whether the skin condition measuring device 1 is connected by determining whether the skin condition measuring device 1 is connected (step Se1), and the sensor ID Whether or not the character string for authentication is registered (step Se2). If not registered, the above-described sensor registration process (step Se3) is performed. The state measuring device 1 becomes operable, and when it is operated, measurement data is input from the skin state measuring device 1 (sensor) (step Se4).
Next, it is input whether or not detailed diagnosis is desired, which company is selected from among a plurality of companies to be subjected to the detailed diagnosis (step Se5).

Furthermore, the measurement data (sensor data) input from the skin condition measuring device 1, the customer ID stored in the smartphone 3, and the data input date and time when the measurement data is input from the skin condition measuring device 1 are transmitted to the data management server 5 ( Step Se6).
In the data management server 5, the customer ID, the measurement data, and the data input date / time are registered in the skin history database 5b (step Sf1).

The skin condition is analyzed based on the measurement data (step Sf3). That is, the approximate measurement data is selected from the measurement data registered in the skin reference value database, and the rank of each item corresponding to the measurement data is determined (step Sf3).
The skin analysis result and / or the determined rank are registered in the skin history database 5b (step Sf4).

In the above-described step, it is determined whether or not detailed skin diagnosis is desired (step Sf5). When detailed skin diagnosis is desired, the measurement data and data (indicated in detail diagnosis) are sent to the cosmetic company server. For example, age etc.) is transmitted to a server of a detailed diagnosis company such as a cosmetics company (step Sf6).
After receiving the data transmitted from the data management server 5 (step Sg1), the cosmetic company server transmits a message indicating that the detailed skin diagnosis request has been accepted to the data management server 5 (step Sg2). Also, start a detailed skin diagnosis;

The data management server 5 receives the above message (step Sf7), and creates display data for displaying the result of the simple diagnosis performed by the data management server 5 on the smartphone 3 (step Sf8).
This display data is transmitted to the smartphone 3 (step Sf9).

The smartphone 3 receives this display data (step Se7) and displays it on the display of the smartphone 3 as a simple skin diagnosis result (step Se8).
In addition, when the detailed skin diagnosis is completed in the cosmetic company server that is the server of the skin diagnosis company (step Sg3), the data of the detailed skin diagnosis result is transmitted to the data management server 5 (step Sg4).

  The data management server 5 receives this data (step Sf10), and writes the detailed skin diagnosis result data to the detailed skin diagnosis result database 5e (step Sf11). Furthermore, data indicating that the detailed break diagnosis has been completed is transmitted to the user of the smartphone 3 (step Sf12).

  The smartphone 3 receives the data from the data management server 5 (step Se9), and displays data indicating that the detailed skin diagnosis is completed on the display based on this data as a message on the display of the smartphone 3 (step). Se10). The completed detailed skin diagnosis result can be displayed on the smartphone 3 side when the user goes to the detailed diagnosis result database of the data management server 5 by using the smartphone 3, but the detailed diagnosis result is managed by data management. It is good also as what displays on the smart phone 3 using the email from the server 5 or the server of a cosmetics company.

  In the skin diagnosis contractor server 61, data is transmitted from the data management server 5 and received to obtain data necessary for detailed skin diagnosis. As such, it is also possible to directly read or write data by accessing a designated part that is permitted to access the skin history database 5b of the data management server 5 or the detailed skin diagnosis result database 5e.

Next, the detailed skin diagnosis result display process of the menu 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In the smartphone 3, whether the detailed skin diagnosis result to be displayed is the latest result or the past result is displayed (step Sh1), and either is selected. It is determined whether the detailed skin diagnosis result to be displayed is the latest or the past (step Sh2). If it is not the latest one, the smartphone 3 requests the data management server 5 for date data of past detailed skin diagnosis (step Sh3).

The data management server 5 receives the above request (step Si1) and collects date and time data of past detailed diagnosis with reference to the skin history database 5b or the detailed diagnosis result database 5e (step Si2).
The collected date and time data is transmitted from the data management server 5 to the smartphone 3 (step Si3).
The smartphone 3 receives this date and time data (step Sh4), displays the date and time of past detailed skin diagnosis on the display, and allows the user to select the date and time (step Sh5).

When the user selects the date and time from the date and time screen display, the detailed skin diagnosis result corresponding to the date and time is specified (step Sh6), and the transmission of the detailed skin diagnosis result of the specified date and time is requested (step Sh7).
Even when it is determined in step Sh2 that the latest detailed skin diagnosis result is to be displayed, the latest detailed skin diagnosis result is specified in step Sh6, and transmission of the latest detailed skin diagnosis result is requested in step Sh7. become.

The data management server 5 receives this request (step Si4), searches the detailed diagnosis result database, for example, based on the received data (step Si5), and obtains the detailed skin diagnosis result of the designated date and time as advice data, It transmits to the smart phone 3 with recommended cosmetics data (step Si6).
The smartphone 3 that has received this data (step Sh8) displays the detailed skin diagnosis result (step Sh9). At this time, recommended cosmetics and advice are displayed.

Next, the care esthetic process of menu 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
When the menu 4 is selected, it is determined whether or not any of the care esthetics as the skin care device 2 has been worn (step Sj1). If not, the skin care device 2 is returned to the determination process again. It will be in a state of waiting until is installed.

  When the skin care device 2 is mounted, the type of skin care device 2 and the product serial number are the same as in the case of the skin condition measuring device 1. Is read into the smartphone 3, and the product serial number is the same as in the case of the skin condition measuring device 1. Is not registered (step Sj2), and if not registered, the product serial number of the skin care device 2 is the same as in the case of the skin condition measuring device 1. Is registered (step Sj3). Since the main registration process is the same as the sensor registration process described above, a description thereof will be omitted.

The product serial no. Is registered, it is determined whether or not the skin care device 2 has started driving (step Sj4). If the driving has not started, the process returns to the determination of whether or not to start driving again to start driving. It will be in a waiting state.
Whether or not driving is started is determined by monitoring the power supply of the skin care device 2.

  After the skin care device 2 starts driving, it is determined whether or not the skin care device 2 stops driving (step Sj5). If the driving is not stopped, the process returns to the determination of whether or not the driving is stopped to wait for the driving stop. It becomes a state to do. When the skin care device 2 stops driving, the date and time of driving start and the time from driving start to driving stop are stored in the storage means inside the smartphone 3 (step Sj6).

It is determined whether or not the skin care device 2 is removed (step Sj7). If the skin care device 2 is not removed, the driving of the skin care device 2 is again waited. In this state, when the skin care device 2 is removed. Returns to step Sj7 without waiting for the start of driving of the skin care device 2, and determines that the skin care device 2 has been removed.
If the skin care device 2 is removed and the communication with the data management server 5 is possible, the drive start date and time and the drive time of the skin care device 2 are transmitted to the data management server 5 (step Sj8). When the communication line with the data management server 5 is not connected, the stored drive start date and time and the drive time are collectively transmitted to the data management server 5 after being connected.

  The data management server 5 receives the drive start date and time and the drive time of the skin care device 2 (step Sk1), and registers them in the care esthetic database 5c.

Next, skin improvement status determination (comparison between the latest diagnosis result and the reference day diagnosis result) in menu 5 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
When the menu 5 is selected, a message is displayed prompting the user to input a reference date for comparison of diagnosis results (step S11).

When the reference date is input, the input reference date is set. If the reference date is not input even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the reference date input when the menu 5 is selected before that is set as the reference date (step S12).
That is, if it is determined in step S13 whether or not the reference date has been input (step S13), it is determined that the reference date has not been input even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the menu 5 was selected. The previous reference date stored in the storage means is set (step S15). When the reference date is input before the predetermined time, the input reference date is stored in the storage unit inside the smartphone 3 (step S14).

When the reference date is determined, the reference date is transmitted from the smartphone 3 to the data management server 5 (step S16). The data management server 5 receives the reference date (step Sm1) and searches the skin history database 5b for the simple diagnosis result data of the received reference date (step Sm2).
Next, the latest simple diagnosis result data is searched from the skin history database 5b (step Sm3).
Next, it is determined whether or not an option is set (step Sm4). If the option is not set, the basic day simple diagnosis result data and the latest simple diagnosis result data are transmitted to the smartphone 3. (Step Sm7).

  In addition, as an option, with a simple diagnosis result of the reference date. Not only the latest simple diagnosis result but also all the monitoring diagnosis results in the meantime may be searched (step Sm5). Furthermore, as an option, referring to the used cosmetic history database, the history data of the used cosmetics between the reference date and the date of the latest diagnosis result may be read (step Sm6).

  When such an option is set, as described above, the data of the simple diagnosis results from the reference date to the latest and the history data of the cosmetics used between them are transmitted to the smartphone 3. (Step Sm7).

The smartphone 3 receives these data (step S17), and basically displays the data on the reference date simple diagnosis result data and the latest simple diagnosis result data (step S18).
If the option is set (step S19), the simple diagnosis result between the reference date and the latest is displayed, and the use history of cosmetics during this period is displayed (step S10).

The data management server 5 refers to the care esthetic database 5c, acquires the use history of the skin care device 2 from the reference date to the date of the latest simple diagnosis, and displays the acquired use history of the skin care device 2 It is good.
By displaying the simple diagnosis result of the reference date and the latest simple diagnosis result at the same time, it is possible to know whether the skin condition has improved, has not changed, or has deteriorated.

Further, by displaying all the simple diagnosis results between the simple diagnosis result on the reference date and the latest simple diagnosis result, it is possible to know the transition of the skin state in more detail.
Further, by looking at the use history of the cosmetics and the use history of the skin care device 2 during that period, it is possible to determine how much effect the cosmetics and skin care device 2 have. In addition, it replaces with a simple diagnostic result, and it is good also as what is displayed on the smart phone 3 so that the same process may be performed also about a detailed diagnostic result, and a reference date and the newest detailed diagnostic result can be compared.

Next, the skin history display of menu 6 (displaying the skin history from the reference date to the latest skin diagnosis) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
When the menu 6 is selected, a process for displaying a message prompting the user to input a reference date for comparison of diagnosis results is performed (step So1).

In this case, the reference date is input by the user (step So2). When the reference date is not input even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the reference date input when the menu 6 has been selected previously is set as the reference date.
In other words, if the reference date is not input even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the menu 6 was selected, the previous reference date stored in the storage means inside the smartphone 3 is set. When the reference date is input before the predetermined time, the input reference date is stored in the storage unit inside the smartphone 3.

  That is, it is determined whether or not the reference date is input within a predetermined time (step So3), and when the new reference date is input, the input reference date is stored in the smartphone 3. If it is not input, the reference date previously stored therein is read out and used (step So5).

When the reference date is determined, the reference date is transmitted from the smartphone 3 to the data management server 5 (step So6). The data management server 5 receives the reference date (step Sp1), and retrieves and obtains simple diagnosis result data for the period from the received reference date to the latest simple diagnosis result from the skin history database 5b (step Sp2).
Next, it is determined whether or not an option is set (step Sp3). If no option is set, all the simple diagnosis results in the period from the reference date until the latest simple diagnosis result is obtained are determined. Data is transmitted to the smartphone 3 (step Sp6).

If the option is set, as an option, the data management server 5 refers to the care esthetic database 5c and acquires the use history data of the skin care device 2 from the reference date to the date of the latest simple diagnosis. (Step Sp4).
If an option is set, the history of the used cosmetics between the reference date and the date of the latest diagnostic result is acquired as an option with reference to the used cosmetics history database 5d (step Sp5). .

  When such an option is set, as described above, the data of the simple diagnosis results from the reference date to the date of the latest simple diagnosis, and the history of the skin care device 2 and cosmetics used between them. Is transmitted to the smartphone 3.

  The smartphone 3 receives these data (step So7), and displays all simple diagnosis results between the reference date and the date and time of the latest simple diagnosis as a history, for example, in a graph (step So8). Further, it is determined whether or not an option is set (step So9). If the option is set, the use history of the skin care device 2 and cosmetics during this period is displayed (step So10).

In this case as well, the transition of the skin condition can be known, and the effects of the cosmetics and the skin care device 2 can be determined. In this case as well, a detailed diagnosis result may be acquired instead of the simple diagnosis result and displayed on the smartphone 3.
In this way, it is possible to determine whether or not the skin condition has improved by looking at the measurement data and analysis results as data arranged in time series.

  Further, it is possible to display image data as measurement data by sequentially displaying them as a moving image, but there is a high possibility that the number of data is small. In this case, by interpolating between the image data by morphing, the skin change can be seen as smooth image data.

  In addition, the skin condition is not necessarily maintained in a good state, and the skin condition may be temporarily deteriorated. For example, pores may become noticeable in summer. In such a situation, there is a case where he / she does not like to see an enlarged image of his skin. In view of this, by sequentially displaying the image data as described above, it is possible to cut the image data at a time when the skin condition is not good when the change with time of the skin is easily understood. In this case, by applying morphing to the image data before and after the cut image data, it is difficult to understand even if some image data is cut. In addition, since it is difficult to understand that the skin condition is deteriorated, it is preferable to advise that the skin condition is deteriorated by voice or screen display.

  The smartphone 3 is provided with a storage area for storing control data of the skin care device, and the user can update the control data by changing the setting. For example, the user can arbitrarily set the output level of the skin care device. Further, the data management server 5 can access the control data stored in the storage area, and can be controlled from the data management server.

Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 17, a method of inputting the data of the used cosmetics into the used cosmetics history database 5d will be described. The user is the type of cosmetics input from the smartphone 3, for example, foundation, milky lotion, lotion, etc. (step Su1). Next, a cosmetic name is input (step Su2). Next, it is determined whether or not the input is completed (step Su3). Here, when registering a plurality of cosmetics, the type of cosmetic is input again. When the input is completed, the input data and customer ID are transmitted to the data management server 5. The data management server receives the input data (step Sv1), and stores the cosmetic name and data input date in the storage area corresponding to the customer ID of the used cosmetic history database 5d.
With this use cosmetic history database 5d, it is possible to predict when cosmetics will run out from the registration date of cosmetics. In this case, advice on cosmetics can be given at the time when the cosmetics run out.

Next, refer to the flowchart of FIG. A method for acquiring the above-described measurement data and accompanying data from the contractor client 6 as a secondary user terminal will be described.
First, a user ID and a password are input from a contractor client 6 such as a cosmetic company (step Sq1).

  Next, search conditions are input (step Sq2). For example, a search condition key is input. Next, output request data for requesting to output data under the above-described search conditions is input (step Sq3). The input user ID, password, search condition, and output request data are transmitted to the data management server 5 (step Sq4).

The data management server 5 receives the above-described data (step Sr1), and performs user ID and password authentication processing (step Sr2). The authentication result is determined (step Sr3), and if the authentication is not successful, an error message indicating that the authentication has not been made is created (step Sr9).
When the user ID and password are authenticated, the use in the data secondary user access right management database 5h indicates whether or not the received search condition is a search condition permitted for the user as the secondary user of the data. The user search level is referred to and collated (step Sr4).

  The collation result is determined (step Sr5), and in the case of search conditions that are not permitted as a result of the collation, an error message corresponding to the collation result is created (step Sr9). If the search condition is collated, next, it is collated by referring to the user accelerator level whether or not the input output request is data of the access level permitted for the secondary user (step Sr6). ). The collation result is determined (step Sr7), and if the collation is not performed, an error message corresponding to the collation result is created (step Sr9).

  When the output request data is collated, the search is performed based on the collated search condition, data requested as output request data is acquired from each database (step Sr8), and the acquired data is transmitted (step Sr8). Sr10). In addition, if it is not verified at any stage, the created error message is transmitted.

  The secondary user terminal (contractor client 6) receives the data (step Sq5), determines whether the data is an error message (step Sq6), and displays an error message if there is an error (step Sq7). When the data is requested to be output, the data is displayed on the screen, or the data is output and stored as a file (step Sq8).

  Thereby, the secondary user such as the measurement data can acquire the data in the range of the data type set at the access level using the search condition key set at the search level. That is, it is possible to acquire and use data corresponding to the cost.

Next, a modification of data acquisition by a secondary user of data will be described.
As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 19, in the contractor client 6 which is a secondary user terminal, the operator is allowed to input a user ID and a password (step Ss1).

  The input user ID and password are transmitted to the data management server 5 (step Ss2). The data management server 5 receives the user ID and password (step St1), and performs authentication (collation) processing of the user ID and password (step St2). It is determined whether or not collation has been performed (step St3). If the collation has not been performed, a corresponding error message is created (step St4).

  In the case of collation, the search condition key permitted for the secondary user is extracted by referring to the data secondary user access right management database 5h based on the customer ID corresponding to the user ID (step St5). ).

  Similarly, the data secondary user access right management database 5h is searched by the customer ID, and the data item (type) that can be accessed by the secondary user is extracted (step St6).

The extracted search condition key and data item are set in the data table (step St7).
The above error message or data table is transmitted to the contractor client 6 (step St8).
The contractor client 6 receives the error message or the data table (step Ss3).

  It is determined whether or not an error message has been received (step Ss4). If there is an error, an error message is displayed (step Ss5). If there is no error, the permitted search condition key and accessible data items are displayed on the display of the contractor client 6 (step Ss6).

  Based on this screen display, the search condition key and the output request data in the range of the data item are input (step Ss7), and the input data is transmitted to the data management server 5 (step Ss8). Based on the search condition key and the data item for which access is permitted, the data management server 5 acquires data of the data item that matches the search condition and is permitted to access from each database (step St10). .

  The acquired data is transmitted to the contractor client 6 (step St11). The contractor client 6 receives the above-mentioned data (step Ss9), and displays the received data on the display of the contractor client 6 or outputs and stores it as a file (step Ss10).

  In this case as well, the data of the data item authorized by the access right is obtained within the range of the retrieval condition key set in the same manner as described above, and the available retrieval condition key and the data item authorized to be accessed are displayed. As a result, errors can be reduced.

  In communication via the Internet 4, it is preferable to encrypt the data. The data input from the client has, for example, a function as a web server capable of publishing a website on the Internet 4 on the server side, and the client has a function as a web browser capable of displaying the website. It may be possible to input data on a web page of a website. In this case, SSL encryption or TLS encryption can be suitably used as the encryption at the time of data input.
