BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a custom-made system for cosmetics such as foundations.

0002

[Prior art] For products that are developed in series, such as basic cosmetics and makeup cosmetics,
A common concept is established for each series, and it is common for the container design etc. to be unified.

[0003] Consumer purchasing consciousness has changed with the times, and from the days when people wanted the same thing as everyone else and mass-produced a small number of products, today they are looking for things that are different from others and that are differentiated. We are moving into an era of high-mix, low-volume production in order to meet the growing demand for products.

[0004] Furthermore, the desire to have something unique to oneself and something that no one else has has developed, and individualized production that emphasizes originality is also progressing.

Under these circumstances, in the field of cosmetics, efforts have been made to improve the originality of compact containers by writing their names or drawing their favorite pictures on compact containers.

[0006] Cosmetics such as foundation are available in multiple colors such as ocher and pink.
You can now purchase products that match your skin tone. Furthermore, a refreshing type of foundation for summer and a moist type of foundation for winter are also provided.

[0007] At retail stores, the amount of sebum and moisture in a customer's skin is measured, and based on the measurement results, a type of cosmetic that is suitable for the customer's skin characteristics is recommended.

[0008]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] In this way, the production system has shifted towards individualized production in response to consumer demands.
A complete make-to-order system will have the great advantage of eliminating production losses and eliminating the need for in-store inventory.

[0009] However, in the case of cosmetics, there are many types of cosmetics, which are made up of combinations of colors, types that correspond to skin characteristics, etc., and when it comes to changing the design of the container, management becomes difficult. It is clear that this will be extremely difficult.

[0010] Furthermore, when it comes to custom-made products, it is predicted that there will be a desire to take into account factors such as the customer's living environment and preferences, and it is expected that a large amount of information will be collected from a large number of customers. It is almost impossible to manufacture and provide cosmetics that are compatible with each of these.

[0011] Furthermore, when manufacturing to order, not only does it lead to an increase in costs, but it is inevitable that the lead time from receiving an order to delivery will become extremely long.

[0012] The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and uses a customer's skin characteristics, preferences, etc. as order data, and stores cosmetics that match the skin characteristics, etc. in a container with a desired design. The purpose is to provide a cosmetics ordering system that can realize personalized production.

[0013]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the custom-made system for cosmetics of the present invention has the following configuration. In other words, it is a custom-made system for cosmetics in which cosmetics are stored in containers, and includes basic pattern data that combines skin characteristic data such as skin sebum content, moisture content, and color, and cosmetics that match this basic pattern data. a storage means for storing selected cosmetic data; a personal data input means for inputting personal skin characteristic data; and a container design data processing means that performs data processing for container design. The aim is to combine these two to create cosmetics.

[0014] Furthermore, the storage means stores sample data that is a combination of basic pattern data and cosmetic data, as well as factor data such as living environment and preferences, and the personal data input means stores personal data together with personal skin characteristic data. By inputting the factor data obtained as above and comparing the input personal data with the basic pattern data and sample data, it is possible to select compatible cosmetics from the cosmetics data, making it even more original. You can get something of high quality.

[0015]

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0017] The store (H) uses a cosmetics ordering system (
S). This system will be explained below.

In FIG. 1, (1) is an overall control unit, which is connected to a storage unit (2), a personal data input unit (3), a cosmetic selection unit (4), and a container design data processing unit. The units (5) are activated in sequence and each function is controlled up to the output of the results.

The storage unit (2) stores a basic pattern data table (6) shown in FIG. 2, a sample data table (7) shown in FIG. 3, and a cosmetic data table (7) shown in FIG.
8) are connected.

The basic pattern data table (6), as shown in FIG.
It is classified into "normal" and "slight", skin type is classified into nine categories, and skin color is further classified into five categories, and the combination of these is stored as a basic pattern of skin characteristics.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the sample data table (7) stores a plurality of samples of living environment and preference data. This living environment and preference data corresponds to the questions in the questionnaire described later.

In the cosmetic data table (8) shown in FIG. 4, the basic pattern data table (
6) pattern data and sample data table (7)
) are combined with the sample data, respectively, and the optimal cosmetic data for that combination is stored. That is, it can be seen that the cosmetic material PA is suitable for the type that is a combination of pattern A-■ in the basic pattern data table (6) and sample (a) in the sample data table (7).

[0023] The personal data input unit (3) inputs the customer's skin characteristic data and factor data such as living environment and preferences to the storage unit (2).
).

[0024] In the above skin characteristic data, the amount of sebum and moisture are measured using over-the-counter measurement equipment, and the skin color is
The results obtained by color matching with sample colors can be used.

[0025] Factor data such as living environment and preferences can be obtained through a questionnaire survey conducted at a store. For example, answering ``yes'' to questions such as ``Do you drink alcohol a lot?'' or ``Do you get enough sleep?''
, the answer is "no."

In addition to the above-mentioned data, specific requests such as color tone preferences are also input through the personal data input section (3).

[0027]The personal data input as described above is compared with the data stored in the basic pattern data table (6) and the sample data table (7) connected to the storage unit (2) to determine if they match. Or retrieve similar data. Then, in the cosmetics selection section (4), cosmetics for the target customer are selected by looking at the cosmetics data table (8) and taking into account specific requests and the like.
