Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the server 6 has a suitable light information processing unit 60 and an information recording unit 61 for extracting light that is preferable to irradiate the imaged area from the imaged information imaged by the camera 21. there is The adaptive optical information processing unit 60 and the information recording unit 61 are configured to be able to transmit and receive information necessary for processing and operation to and from the smartphone terminal 2 .

In addition, the information recording unit 61 is configured to be able to record imaging information 610 , biological reference information 611 , biological evaluation information 612 , suitable light reference information 613 and suitable light extraction information 614 .

The imaging information 610 is imaging information of a user (a person to be irradiated with light) imaged by the camera 21 . The biological reference information 611 is information that serves as a reference for extracting evaluation results (biological evaluation information 612 ) of skin and hair conditions and properties from the contents of the imaging information 610 .

Also, the biometric evaluation information 612 is information on the result of evaluating the condition and properties of the skin and hair based on the biometric reference information 611 based on the content of the imaging information 610 . That is, it is the information of the result of evaluating each parameter of the physiological characteristics of skin, hair, etc. based on the biological reference information 611 .

For example, information on the results of a "five-level evaluation from white to black (white side is 1, black side is 5)" for skin color, and "three-level evaluation as high, normal, and low" for skin moisture content. is. In addition, in the case of skin, dullness of the skin, skin texture, spots, wrinkles, freckles, water content (including elasticity), oil content (including sebum content), dryness, pores, etc. are parameters of physiological characteristics. In the case of hair, parameters of physiological characteristics include hair color, hair thickness, hair volume, hair density, hair surface roughness, scalp roughness, water content, oil content, and the like.

The suitable light reference information 613 is information about the light that is preferably applied to the target skin or hair in order to maintain, improve, or improve each physiological characteristic of the biological evaluation information 612 . In other words, it is light information that can improve the properties of the skin or hair or maintain good conditions by irradiating each piece of information in the biological evaluation information 612 .

This biometric evaluation information 612 can be extracted using known image recognition technology or image analysis technology. For example, RGB values and hue, saturation, and brightness values converted based on the RGB values are obtained from the imaging information 610 , and compared with reference information set as biometric reference information 611 to extract biometric evaluation information 612 . Note that the contents of the biological reference information 611 can be changed as appropriate.

The adaptive light information processing section 60 also has a function of extracting the suitable light extraction information 614 from the content of the biological evaluation information 612 based on the suitable light reference information 613 . The matching light extraction information 614 is extracted by collating information such as individual types and numerical values in the biometric evaluation information 612 with reference information set as the matching light reference information 613 to extract the matching light extraction information 614 . It should be noted that the content of the compatible light reference information 613 can be changed as appropriate.

Furthermore, the information recording section 61 can also be configured to record the imaging information 610 of the same part of the user after being irradiated with the light of the specific matching light extraction information 614 .

With such a configuration, it becomes easier to verify effects such as a cosmetic effect due to the irradiation of the light of the specific suitable light extraction information 614 . Further, based on the information of the result after the light irradiation of the specific suitable light extraction information 614, the suitable light information processing unit 60 can further provide a function of correcting the standard of the suitable light reference information 613. FIG. For example, if there is an improvement in the moisture content of the skin (changes from "low" to "normal" in the biological evaluation information 612), the intensity of the irradiated light is weakened, the irradiation time is shortened, or the moisture content is not improved. It is also possible to automatically correct the contents of the suitable light reference information 613, such as changing the type of light to light that provides a beauty effect (for example, shifting to improve dullness of the skin).

Here, the server 6 does not necessarily need to be provided with the adaptive optical information processing section 60 and the information recording section 61 . That is, the server 6 does not need to have a function of extracting light that is preferably applied to the imaged area from the imaged information imaged by the camera 21 . For example, the smart phone terminal 2 may be provided with the suitable light information processing unit 60 and the information recording unit 61, and the imaged area may be irradiated from the image information captured by the camera 21 via the information processing function of the smart phone terminal 2. It can also be configured to extract the desired light. Furthermore, a configuration in which the case body 3 (the LED light irradiation section 4) is provided with the adaptive optical information processing section 60 and the information recording section 61 may be employed. (*It will also be mentioned later that the measurement sensor has the light) With such a configuration, it is possible to extract the light that is preferably applied to the imaged area without the server 6 intervening, and the Internet 5 You can use the same functions even if you are not in a connectable environment.

Further, the smartphone terminal 2 that receives the suitable light extraction information 614 does not necessarily need to be configured to be able to control the light of the LED light irradiation unit 4 according to the content of the suitable light extraction information 614 . For example, if the case body 3 (including the LED light irradiation unit 4) is configured to be capable of transmitting and receiving information to and from the server 6, the case body 3 receives the matching light extraction information 614, and the LED light irradiation unit It is also possible to control the light emitted by 4 .

In addition, regarding the configuration for controlling the light emitted by the LED light irradiation unit 4 based on the imaging information 610 acquired by the camera 21, existing application software is installed on the smartphone terminal 2 and the function of the application software is utilized. can also Based on the imaging information 610 acquired by the camera 21, the known application software analyzes the imaging information 610 to obtain information such as skin moisture content, oil content, skin wrinkles, dullness, and skin age diagnosis. things exist. The present invention can also be configured to extract the biometric evaluation information 612 and the adaptive light extraction information 614 described above using the functions of such existing application software.

Next, a configuration for acquiring biometric information reflecting the condition and properties of the skin, hair, etc. using the biometric information acquisition sensor 7 and controlling the light emitted by the LED light irradiation unit 4 will be described.
In this configuration, the basic configuration for acquiring biological information and controlling the light irradiation of the LED light irradiation unit 4 is common to the technique using the camera 21 described above.
