1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a service method of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a service method according to the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, in order to implement the service method of the present invention, a mobile communication terminal 10 and a hair management database (hereinafter referred to as 'DB') 20 that can communicate with the same are required.

At this time, the hair management DB 20 may be configured to be embedded in the mobile communication terminal 10 in the form of a memory, but in the present embodiment, the hair management DB 20 moves to a DB embedded in a hair management integrated diagnosis system that is separately constructed. The communication terminal 10 will be described as configured to communicate.

The mobile communication terminal 10 is provided with a control unit 11, a keypad 12, a camera 13, an image editor 14, and a memory 15, and is configured in a manner of embedding a hair diagnosis program.

The keypad 12 is a kind of data input means, for example, means for inputting personal information of a user.

At this time, the keypad 12 is more preferably provided with a menu key assigned from the control unit 11 to execute the hair diagnostic program.

The camera 13 is an imaging means for photographing a hair state for providing information for hair care, including a face shape related to a user's image.

The camera 13 accurately photographs the scalp, hair loss, hair root, etc. in the current state of the user, and then uses the photographed information in communication with the control unit 11.

In this case, the camera 13 may be a normal digital camera mounted on the mobile communication terminal 10, or more preferably, may be provided externally with a camera port.

In particular, in the case of an external type, a special camera having a zoom function may be used so as to photograph the hair state more precisely, and a simple change of such camera means is included in the technical category of the present invention.

For example, as a special camera, a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) camera suitable for hair imaging is most preferable.

The image editor 14 is provided for capturing an image captured by the camera 13 according to a control signal of the controller 11 and converting the image to a specific image file format. The converted image file is a memory 15. Are stored in.

Here, the image file type may be a special file type compatible with the DB for hair care 20, or may be a type of JPG, GIF, TIF, and the like, which are commonly known.

In addition, an output device 16 may be connected to the mobile communication terminal 10. The output device 16 may be a printer, an LCD panel, or the like as a means for displaying a diagnosis result. It is more preferable to display in real time.

On the other hand, the hair management DB 20 is captured by the user image information DB 21, the camera 13 to receive and store the user's personal information from the keypad 12 and through the image editor 14 User image DB 22 for receiving and storing the corresponding information from the memory 15 storing the hair image including the scalp, hair root and hair loss state of the user converted into an image file, the user indicating the hair state of the user A diagnostic image DB (23) for storing image files of various normal and abnormal hairs to compare the hair image files of the user to diagnose the user's hair condition, hair loss type, hair loss type, hair loss period, scalp type, The diagnostic information DB 24 stores a detailed diagnosis list such as hair root state and detailed diagnosis contents corresponding thereto, and the hair diagnosis program built in the mobile communication terminal 10. User diagnosis result that provides information on the user's hair condition and diagnosis findings by analyzing the user identification information DB 21, the user image DB 22, the diagnosis image DB 23 and the diagnosis information DB 24. It is configured to include a DB (25).

In this way, the photograph of the hair loss site and the normal site according to the user's current hair condition, scalp test, hair root test, and hair loss test by mutual communication between the mobile communication terminal 10 and the DB for hair care is compared with In contrast to normal images, it automatically outputs diagnostic findings based on the type of hair loss and the user's condition to provide the user with comprehensive diagnostic results.

Next, a service method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

In addition, in the present invention, the case of the built-in camera will be omitted, and the case of using an external (suitable for hair photography) camera will be described as an embodiment.

First, when a user using the mobile communication terminal 10 wants to receive a hair diagnosis using his terminal, the user selects a corresponding menu by pressing a hair diagnosis menu key provided on the keypad 12 (S100).

When the hair diagnosis menu is selected, the control unit 11 of the mobile communication terminal 10 checks whether the photographing camera 13, for example, a CCD camera, is connected (S101).

If the camera 13 is connected, the control proceeds to the next step, otherwise it waits until the user connects the camera 13.

Here, whether or not the camera 13 is connected can be easily checked through a signal returned from the camera port after the control unit 11 sends a control signal to the camera port connected thereto, which is well known.

In this case, in the case of the built-in type, when the control signal of the control unit 11 causes the camera 13 to switch to the photographing mode, it can be maintained in the standby state where the photographing can be performed immediately.

When the connection state of the camera 13 is confirmed through the above process, the control unit 11 executes the hair diagnosis program (S102).

The hair diagnostic program is connected to the hair management DB 20 via an external network through a communication port inside the mobile communication terminal 10, and then transmits and receives corresponding information, opens a specific file, or photographed images, such as Scalp, hair loss, hair roots, etc. from normal or pre-stored user's previous data based on the mutual read and analyze the user's hair information in the current state can be said.

In the present invention, the hair management DB (20) is separately managed in an external data network, and the mobile communication terminal 10 is connected to this through the vast data in real time communication to utilize the embodiment, but the user described In the case of using only one of them, even a small capacity is sufficient, so that the above-described hair management DB 20 can be miniaturized and simplified in its own terminal internal memory.

However, when using an external data network will have the advantage that can be sent along with the opinion of the expert.

Furthermore, in the case of the hair diagnosis program described in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal itself is connected to an external data network through the program instead of directly reading the user's own hair photographed by driving an internal program. Functions such as opening and receiving information from an external data network may be utilized.

When the hair diagnosis program is executed, the control unit 11 performs user management (S103).

That is, the new user is registered by receiving the user's personal information through the keypad 12, or in the case of the existing user, the user's information can be modified or changed.

Such an interface may be performed by a hair diagnostic program built in the terminal as described above.

Information that is input, modified, or changed through the user management process is stored in the user identification information DB 21 of the hair management DB 20.

After the user management process is performed, the intensive inspection process is performed (S104).

In the intensive inspection process, the head of the user to be diagnosed through the connected camera 13 is photographed, and the photographed information is converted into a specific image file through the image editor 14 and stored in the memory 15 inside the terminal. Of course, after being transmitted to the hair management DB (20) includes a process of being stored in the user image DB (22).

At this time, it is preferable to photograph the distribution of the user's scalp, hair root, hair follicles in contrast to the normal area and the bald area, and the user himself may take the picture directly, but it may be more preferable to take the picture by the assistant.

In the above two processes, the photographing magnification may be set according to the user's selection or according to the level required by the hair care DB 20, and is set to 1 times as a standard for illustrative purposes.

In the process, when the photographing data is transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 10 to the user image DB 22, the terminal is switched to the standby mode for receiving a diagnosis result, and the hair management DB 20 receives the photographing data of the user. Is stored in the user image DB (22) to perform a diagnostic process.

In other words, if all of the actual diagnostic work is performed in the mobile communication terminal 10 itself, that is, if the hair management DB (20) is completely embedded in the terminal, the diagnostic work can be performed immediately without being switched to the standby mode. If there is a connection to an external data network using a terminal, it is reasonable to go through the above process.

The diagnosis process is a diagnostic image DB 23 in the hair management DB 20 (a database in which normal samples to be compared are stored, which is a standard from hair samples of extremely normal humans to their own samples). Is stored), and the diagnosis is performed by comparing the data with the request data stored in the user image DB 22 (S105).

That is, the first comparison comparing the sample hair of a healthy person, the second comparison comparing the user's own previously stored image, etc., which can be automatically performed by the hair care program, and the expert The findings may be diagnosed and added immediately.

When the comparison analysis is completed through the above process, the hair care DB 20 (where the hair care DB does not describe the database itself but refers to an operating system including a control unit that operates the same), the result table is in a predetermined form. According to the file format, the result table is stored in the diagnostic information DB 24 (S106).

At this time, the result table may specify the type of hair loss, scalp state, hair loss type, hair root state, hair loss period and the like.

Subsequently, the image (the image data input from the user image DB and the normal image data serving as a reference stored in the diagnosis image DB) along with the diagnosis completed result table is stored in the user diagnosis result DB 25 and the stored information is moved. Transmission to the communication terminal 10 (S107).

After receiving the diagnosis result, the terminal can check it immediately through the LCD panel. If necessary, it can be directly connected to the printer through the USB port (receptacle) or can be connected to a PC and printed as a document.

Here, since all the results are stored in the user diagnosis result DB 25 in order according to a predetermined list, the user's hair can be systematically and continuously diagnosed and managed.

That is, the user diagnosis result DB 25 stores all previous records of the user himself who has been attempted diagnosis based on the present.

In addition, since the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the technical idea described. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the embodiments described, but should be determined not only by the scope of claims described below, but also by those equivalent to the scope of claims.

As described in detail above, the present invention provides the following effects.

First, the hair condition can be automatically diagnosed from the condition of the scalp, hair root and hair loss measured by the camera of the mobile communication terminal, and the result can be confirmed.

Second, the user can simply and easily manage his hair systematically.

Third, the utilization of the mobile communication terminal is increased, and the convenience thereof is maximized.
