Description

A mask device for attaching a super close-up camera sensor to the skin {A mask device with a super close-up camera sensor}

The present invention relates to a mask device, and more specifically, to a mask device that controls the light output of a light source according to skin thickness according to race and age.

In general, light use for skin beauty and disease treatment uses various light sources such as sunlight, lasers, fluorescent lamps, and ultraviolet lamps to irradiate the skin with light to promote biochemical reactions within the skin to heal damaged skin. It is a light medical technology that treats.

The LED mask using a double LED light source penetrates the light and energy emitted from the LED into the skin, helping to improve wrinkles, skin regeneration, healing inflammation, increasing resistance to ultraviolet rays, and improving skin. Accordingly, many LED mask products to improve skin aging such as wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation using LED (Light Emitting Diode) light sources have recently been released on the market.

However, the thickness of the keratin, epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layers, which are the composition of human skin, varies depending on race and age. For example, compared to Caucasians, Asians have a thinner stratum corneum, but the epidermal layer is twice as thick as Caucasians. Likewise, the skin thickness of each race is different, and the degree of change in skin wrinkles due to aging is also different.

However, existing skin care mask devices uniformly penetrate light energy into the skin regardless of race, age, etc., so they have the problem of not increasing the efficiency of preventing skin aging or causing side effects.

division Quantity of light optical output time light wavelength White, blond 300ea 10~12MIN 620 nm white brunet 350ea 10~12MIN 620 nm Asian(korean) 380ea 13~15MIN 623 nm Hindu 400ea 15~17MIN 625nm Mulatto 420ea 15~17MIN 625nm negro 450ea 17~20MIN 630nm

In Table 2, LED Qty may mean the number of LEDs that output light. Light quantity information may refer to the total amount of light output from a light source. In an embodiment, the light quantity information may be expressed as the number of 20mA LED light sources that output light at a certain light quantity. In contrast, in another embodiment, the light quantity information may be expressed as the amount of lumens to be output from the light output unit 300. For example, in the case of Asians (Koreans), light is output at the amount of light output from 380 LED light sources (ea) of 20 mA.

As described above, the server unit 20 may generate the first control signal using race information and race-specific light output information. In an embodiment, the first control signal may include light quantity information, light wavelength information, and light output time information output from the light output unit 300.

For example, the first control signal for Asians (Koreans) includes the amount of light output from 380 LED light sources (ea) of 20 mA, and light with a wavelength of 623 nm for 13-15 minutes ( min) may contain information to be output for a period of time.

The server unit 20 may transmit the first control signal to the mask unit 10. The light output unit 300 of the mask unit 10 may output light toward the skin in response to the first control signal. For example, when the server unit 20 determines that the user's race is Asian (Korean), the light output unit 300 outputs 380 LED light sources (ea) of 20 mA in response to the first control signal. With this amount of light, light with a wavelength of 623 nm can be output for 13-15 minutes (min). However, the light output time may be longer or shorter than 13-15 minutes depending on the surrounding environment. Additionally, the server unit 20 may transmit the first control signal and image information to the terminal unit 30.

The server unit 20 may store the measured pore width information. The server unit 20 may calculate the change in pore width by comparing the measured pore width information with previously stored pore width information. The server unit 20 may transmit the measured pore width information and the calculated pore width change information to the terminal unit 30.

The server unit 20 may use the user's skin condition information to generate recommendation information that recommends cosmetics suitable for the user. For example, if the user's pore width is larger than a preset width, the server unit 20 may search for cosmetics that reduce the width of pores and recommend them to the user.

In an embodiment, the server unit 20 may generate racial information by analyzing image information based on artificial intelligence. For example, the luminance value may be calculated to be greater than the surrounding skin due to pigmentation of the user's skin. When the server unit 20 calculates a luminance value that is greater than the surrounding skin by a certain value through learning, the corresponding luminance value may be excluded when calculating the average luminance value. In this way, the server unit 20 can generate racial information by analyzing accurate image information through artificial intelligence learning.

The terminal unit 30 can communicate with the server unit 20. In an embodiment, the terminal unit 30 may include an output unit and an input unit. In an embodiment, the terminal unit 30 may be a smartphone, a laptop, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The input unit may input control input information of the mask unit 10. Control input information input through the input unit may be transmitted to the server unit 20. In embodiments, control input information may include the user's age, race, skin type, data storage, etc.

In an embodiment, a user may input any one of first mode information, second mode information, and third mode information through the input unit. The first mode information may include a control command that causes the server unit 20 to automatically control the optical output unit 300 of the mask unit 10.

The second mode information may include a control command to generate a control signal for controlling the mask unit 10 according to the user's age, race, and skin condition input by the user through the input unit.

The third mode information may include a control command to control the mask unit 10 in response to pre-stored user information.

The output unit may output racial information, image information, skin condition information, etc. transmitted from the server unit 20. Accordingly, the user can visually check the condition of the skin, etc. In an embodiment, the output unit may be a touch screen that also performs the function of the input unit, but is not limited thereto.
