Description

  The present invention relates to a prescription management system for makeup cosmetics such as lipstick, eye shadow, teak color, and foundation.

  As characteristics of makeup cosmetics, there are various elements including not only the colors such as red, pink and beige, but also the texture such as feeling of use and finish. The feeling of use is touch, spread, creamy feeling, fit feeling, stickiness, and the finished feeling is glossy (glossy), moist, transparent, pearly feeling, color development, color transfer, color retention over time , Ease of cleansing, and stubbornness (uniformity). This property depends on the combination of raw materials such as pigment, base material, and pearl material, and the blending ratio, but in order to obtain a certain desired property (target property), how much raw material is used. Deciding on a prescription is not easy. Therefore, the creation of new prescriptions often requires enormous trial and error, and currently relies on experienced veteran knowledge and intuition.

Patent Document 1 discloses a simple prescription creation system for a cosmetic that generates a simple prescription for realizing the product characteristics such as the color tone and texture of the cosmetic. This system classifies makeup cosmetic properties into three factors (characteristic factors) such as color, texture, and pearl, and stores and manages partial prescriptions for each factor in a separate storage unit (database). doing. That is, the color data storage unit stores the color material prescription for each color and manages the color material ratio in the entire cosmetic in association with the color density level. The texture data storage unit stores the base material prescription for each texture. Further, the pearl feeling data storage unit stores the pearl material prescription for each pearl feeling, and stores the pearl material ratio in the entire cosmetic in association with the pearl density level and the color density level. When a desired color, texture, pearl, etc. are specified by the operator, the color material ratio corresponding to this color is obtained from the color data storage unit, and the base material prescription corresponding to this texture is obtained from the texture data storage unit. The pearl material ratio corresponding to the pearl feeling is extracted independently from the pearl feeling data storage unit. And the simple prescription for obtaining a desired characteristic is created by synthesize | combining these extraction results.

  However, as in the prior art described above, the approach of separately extracting the color material ratio, base material prescription, and pearl material ratio for each factor related to the characteristics of cosmetics, and synthesizing them to create a prescription makes it reliable. It is difficult to make a high prescription. This is because a raw material that influences one factor can affect another factor. This can be easily understood from the fact that the pearl material affects both the color tone and the pearl feeling. For example, silver pearl acts as a white pigment in addition to its original function as a pearl material, and the apparent color changes drastically depending on its content. The degree of this change varies depending on the brightness of the pigment, and whitening becomes more conspicuous as the brightness increases. The same applies to gold pearl that acts as a yellowish pigment and polarized pearl (including a laminated structure of this and the pigment). For example, wax affects not only the texture (glossiness) but also the color tone. This is because as the wax content increases, it hardens and the amount of pigment applied decreases, resulting in lighter color development (in the opposite case, the apparent color becomes darker). Furthermore, the texture (glossiness) changes not only by the glittering feeling of the paste or oil, but also by the synergy with the glittering feeling of the pearl material. Thus, the mechanism that the raw material gives to each factor is very complicated, which is also why it is said that it is difficult to formulate makeup cosmetics.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this situation, The objective is to provide the prescription management system for producing the prescription of makeup cosmetics efficiently.

In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a makeup cosmetics prescription management system having a trial prescription database, a registration unit, and a search unit. The trial prescription database manages a plurality of makeup cosmetics as trial samples, and a trial record is provided for each trial sample. In each prototype record, raw material information and characteristic information are described. The raw material information includes at least a combination of raw materials constituting the prototype sample and a mixing ratio of the raw materials. The characteristic information includes a quantified evaluation result regarding each of a plurality of characteristic items including at least the color tone and texture of the prototype sample and the stability that is difficult to deteriorate with time . When the raw material information and characteristic information are input by the operator regarding the prototype sample to be newly registered in the prototype prescription database, the registration unit stores the prototype record describing the input raw material information and characteristic information in the prototype prescription database. Add new. When a numerical value related to a specific characteristic item is specified by an operator as a search condition for a prototype sample, the search unit refers to the prototype prescription database with the search condition as a search key, and an evaluation result that matches the search condition is described. The prototype record is extracted, and information corresponding to the description content of the extracted prototype record is presented to the operator as a search result.

  Here, in this invention, it is preferable that a search part shows an operator the raw material information described in the extracted trial production record as a search result.

  In the present invention, a map generation unit may be further provided. The map generation unit refers to the trial prescription database and acquires evaluation results for all registered trial samples or evaluation results for trial samples that match the search conditions specified by the operator. Then, the generation unit generates an evaluation map by plotting the prototype sample on the evaluation space with the characteristic item as the coordinate axis based on the numerical value of the acquired evaluation result, and presents the generated evaluation map to the operator. .

  Furthermore, in the present invention, when the display part of the prototype sample plotted on the evaluation map is clicked by the operator, the map generation unit preferably presents the raw material information regarding the clicked prototype sample to the operator.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to unify knowledge information useful for prescribing makeup cosmetics and to create a large number of prescriptions by registering information on evaluated prototype samples in the trial prescription database as needed. Can share this information. Then, by utilizing the accumulated contents of this database when creating a new prescription, the prescription creator can efficiently create a prescription without repeating a large amount of trial and error.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a makeup cosmetic prescription management system according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, lipstick will be described as an example of makeup cosmetics. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to various makeup cosmetics such as eye shadow, cheek color, and foundation. This prescription management system is configured by a general computer 1 having an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, a display device, and a storage device such as an HDD. The storage device accessible by the computer 1 includes: A trial prescription database 2 and a basic unit prescription database 3 are stored.

  The trial prescription database 2 centrally manages information on a plurality of makeup cosmetics (prototype samples). FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the prototype prescription database 2. The prototype prescription database 2 is a set of prototype records provided for each prototype sample. In a single trial record, a trial sample ID, sample information, raw material information, characteristic information, and link information are described. The prototype sample ID is a number unique to the prototype sample, and is individually assigned as a series of serial numbers when the prototype sample is newly registered in the prototype prescription database 2. The sample information includes a prototype sample name (a product name when the sample is a real product) and other bibliographic information about the prototype sample. The raw material information includes at least a raw material name and a blending ratio. The name of the raw material is the name of the lipstick component, specifically the name of the oil base such as wax, paste / oil, and other trace components, and the name of the pigment such as tar pigment, inorganic pigment, and luster pigment (pearl material). including. The blending ratio is the blending ratio of these components (or the blending amount of each component is acceptable).

  The characteristic information includes evaluation results regarding a plurality of characteristic items including at least the color tone and texture of the prototype sample. In the present embodiment, melting points, break strength, stability, color tone, and texture are used as characteristic items. These evaluation results are numerical values based on some judgment criteria (including subjective evaluations of individual evaluators). It has become. Here, the melting point is the temperature at which the lipstick, which is a prototype sample, melts, the breaking strength is less likely to break the lipstick, and the stability is less likely to deteriorate over time. The color tone is H, V, and C (hue, brightness, and saturation). On the other hand, there are two kinds of textures: a feeling of use and a feeling of finish. The feeling of use includes factors such as touch, stretch, creamy feeling, fit feeling, and stickiness. In addition, the finish feeling of the latter includes factors such as gloss (glossiness), moisture, transparency, pearliness, color development, color transfer, color retention over time, ease of cleansing, and smoothness (uniformity). There is. These factors relating to the texture are expressed by evaluation values selected within a preset evaluation range such as −2 to +2, for example. The link information is for linking information related to the prototype sample and information related to the sample (basic unit sample) manufactured on a basic unit basis after the trial production. Specifically, the basic unit described later is used. Sample ID.

  On the other hand, the basic unit prescription database 3 is information on samples manufactured in the basic unit (basic unit samples) among the prototype samples registered in the trial prescription database 2 (information on the prototype sample is slightly modified as necessary). ) Is managed centrally. On a basic unit basis, a large number of samples are manufactured at one time using raw material units, assuming future production of actual products. There are often subtle differences between the two. For this reason, in order to match the evaluation results on the prototype basis, the raw material distribution ratio on a basic unit basis is slightly modified. In the present embodiment, information on the basic unit sample is managed by a basic unit prescription database 3 provided separately from the prototype prescription database 2. The basic unit prescription database 3 is a set of basic unit records provided corresponding to individual basic unit samples. A single basic unit record includes a basic unit sample ID that is individually assigned to each basic unit sample, and raw material information of this sample (this raw material information is substantially the same as that of the above-described prototype prescription database 2). At least described. As described above, each basic unit record constituting the basic unit prescription database is associated with one of the trial record in the trial prescription database.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, when the computer 1 is functionally captured, the computer 1 includes a registration unit 4, a search unit 5, and a map generation unit 6. Hereinafter, the operation of these functional blocks 4 to 6 will be described for three cases at the time of prescription registration, prescription search, and evaluation map generation.

(At the time of prescription registration)
When newly registering a prototype sample in the prototype prescription database 2, the operator operates the input device to input raw material information, characteristic information, and other necessary information regarding this sample into the prototype prescription registration form on the display device. . Receiving this input, the registration unit 4 newly assigns a prototype sample ID, and newly adds a prototype record describing this and the operator's input information to the prototype prescription database 2.

  In addition, when newly registering a basic unit sample in the basic unit prescription database 3, the operator operates the input device to input raw material information about this sample and other necessary information into the basic unit prescription registration form on the display device. . Receiving this input, the registration unit 4 newly assigns a basic unit sample ID, and newly adds a basic unit record in which this and the input information of the operator are described to the basic unit prescription database 3. In addition, in order to clarify the correspondence between the basic unit sample (relevant destination) and the prototype sample (relevant source) that is the origin, the related source record on the prototype prescription database 2 side and the related destination on the basic unit prescription database 3 side Records are associated with each other via link information (basic unit sample ID).

(At the time of prescription search)
When searching for information registered in the prototype prescription database 2, the operator operates the input device to input the search conditions for the prototype sample to be extracted into the prescription search form on the display device. The search condition is set by, for example, selecting a characteristic item and inputting a numerical value related to the selected characteristic item such that the touch is “−2 to +2” and the gloss is “−2 to +2”. Receiving this input, the search unit 5 refers to the trial prescription database 2 using the search condition as a search key, and extracts a trial record in which an evaluation result that matches the search condition is described. Then, the search unit 5 presents information corresponding to the description content of the extracted prototype record as a search result to the operator via the display device. Typically, the display result includes a list of extracted prototype samples and raw material information of each sample. In addition, when the basic unit sample is associated with the extracted prototype sample, information on the basic unit sample can be browsed by the link from the search result. Further, similarly to the prescription search as described above, the search unit 5 can also search for the basic unit sample in accordance with an instruction from the operator.

(At the time of evaluation map generation)
The map generator 6 has a function of generating an evaluation map as shown in FIG. This evaluation map is obtained by plotting a prototype sample with a display of a prototype sample ID on an evaluation space having a characteristic item (for example, touch, gloss) as a coordinate axis based on the numerical value of the evaluation result of the prototype sample. When there is an evaluation map generation request by the operator, the map generation unit 6 refers to the prototype prescription database 2 and matches the evaluation results for all the registered prototype samples or the search conditions specified by the operator. Obtain evaluation results for prototype samples. And the map production | generation part 6 presents the evaluation map produced | generated based on this to an operator. By generating and presenting such an evaluation map, the operator can easily visually grasp the characteristic distribution of the prototype sample on the evaluation map, and can easily identify the prototype sample close to the target characteristic. it can. In addition, when the display part of the prototype sample plotted on the evaluation map is clicked by the operator, the map generation unit 6 may present raw material information regarding the clicked prototype sample to the operator.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the prescription creator (operator) registers information about the evaluated prototype sample in the prototype prescription database 2 as needed, which is useful for prescribing makeup cosmetics. Information can be unified, and information can be shared among many prescription creators. Then, if the accumulated contents of the trial prescription database 2 are utilized at the time of creating a new prescription, the prescription creator can efficiently create the prescription without repeating a large amount of trial and error.
