The touch sensor may be configured to detect not only the position and area to be touched but also the pressure at the time of touch.

If there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like.

The proximity sensor refers to a sensor that detects the presence or absence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or a nearby object without mechanical contact using the force of an electromagnetic field or infrared rays. The proximity sensor may be disposed within an interior region of the mobile terminal or proximate to the touch screen that is enclosed by the touch screen. The proximity sensor may be equipped with two or more sensors according to the configuration. The proximity sensor has a longer life span than the contact sensor and its utilization is also high.

And to detect the proximity of the pointer by the change of the electric field along the proximity of the pointer when the touch screen is electrostatic. In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) may be classified as a proximity sensor.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the pointer is positioned on the touch screen while the pointer is not in contact with the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching the pointer on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position where the pointer is proximately touched on the touch screen means a position where the pointer is vertically corresponding to the touch screen when the pointer is touched.

The proximity sensor detects a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, a proximity touch movement state, and the like). Information corresponding to the detected proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern may be output on the touch screen.

The pressure sensor may be installed at a position where pressure detection is required in the mobile terminal depending on the use environment. If the pressure sensor is installed on the display unit 151, the touch input through the display unit 151 and the pressure touch input to which a greater pressure than the touch input is applied are identified according to the signal output from the pressure sensor . In addition, the magnitude of the pressure applied to the display unit 151 in the pressure-touch input can be determined according to the signal output from the pressure sensor.

The motion sensor includes one or more sensors such as an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, and a geomagnetic sensor, and detects the position or motion of the device using the sensor. An acceleration sensor, which can be used for a motion sensor, is a device that converts an acceleration change in one direction into an electric signal and is widely used with the development of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The acceleration sensor includes a gravity sensor that recognizes a change in gravitational acceleration. The gyro sensor is a sensor for measuring the angular velocity, and it can sense the direction of rotation with respect to the reference direction.

The heartbeat detection sensor measures the change of the optical blood flow according to the change of the thickness of the blood vessel caused by the heartbeat in order to collect emotion signals. The skin temperature sensor measures the skin temperature as the resistance value changes in response to the temperature change. The skin resistance sensor measures the skin's electrical resistance.

The iris recognition sensor performs the function of recognizing a person using the iris information of the eye having the characteristic unique to each person. The human iris is completed after 18 months of age, and the circular iris pattern, which is raised near the medial side of the iris, is almost unchanged once determined, and the shape of each person is different. Therefore, iris recognition is the application of information technology to security for information of different iris characteristics. That is, it is an authentication method developed to identify people by analyzing the shape and color of iris and the morphology of retinal capillaries.

The iris recognition sensor encodes the iris pattern and converts it into a video signal to make a comparison. The general operation principle is as follows. First, when the user's eye is aligned with the mirror located at the center of the iris recognizer at a certain distance, the infrared camera adjusts the focus through the zoom lens. After the iris camera images the user's iris as a photo, the iris recognition algorithm analyzes the iris pattern of the iris region to generate iris codes unique to the user. Finally, a comparison search is performed at the same time that the iris code is registered in the database.

That is, the skin measurement unit 210 may include an electrode terminal 211 for supplying an input AC current to the skin region of the user and delivering the transport AC current to the skin measurement unit 210. The electrode terminal 211 may be exposed to the outside of the housing to approach the user's skin. The electrode terminal 211 may include an input electrode terminal for providing an input AC current generated in the skin measurement unit 210 to a specific skin region and a reception electrode terminal for receiving a transport AC current conveyed from the skin region. And the input electrode terminal and the reception electrode terminal can be separately arranged at adjacent positions.

The input electrode terminal and the reception electrode terminal may be opened before the skin contact, and may be connected through the skin at a specific depth when the input electrode terminal and the reception electrode terminal are in contact with the skin.

Further, the input electrode terminal and the reception electrode terminal may be disposed apart from each other by a specific distance. For example, as the input alternating current input from the input electrode terminal passes through the skin by a certain distance, a decrease in voltage and change in signal shape within a range where the input alternating current can be analyzed can occur.

The electrode terminal 211 can be formed of a metal having a high electrical conductivity. In addition, the electrode terminal 211 may be formed of a metal which is less susceptible to deterioration and less likely to affect the skin during use. For example, the electrode terminal 211 may be made of metal such as gold, silver, or chromium.

The input alternating current corresponds to an alternating current having a specific frequency applied to the user's skin. The transport AC current corresponds to an alternating current that is returned to the skin measurement unit 210 after the input AC current applied to the skin is transported at a specific depth of the skin layer.

For example, the input alternating current may correspond to a rectangular wave having a specific maximum voltage magnitude, and the transporting alternating current may be determined depending on the skin condition such that the input alternating current is decreased in a specific ratio or the form of a specific output signal . As a concrete example, the skin condition measuring apparatus can generate an input alternating current by a pulse width modulation (PWM) method and input it to the skin.

The input alternating current applied by the skin measuring unit 210 and the corresponding carrier alternating current can be utilized for measurement of skin moisture, skin oiliness, etc. through mutual comparison. The user's skin may have resistance and capacitance due to moisture, oiliness, etc. in the skin. For example, the input alternating current may be input into the skin, causing the voltage to decrease at a specific rate due to resistance to moisture in the skin. In addition, the input alternating current can be deformed in signal form due to the capacitance of the oil in the skin or the like.

In addition, the skin measurement unit 210 may input the input alternating currents of different frequencies to the specific skin region of the user, and obtain the carrier alternating current corresponding to each frequency. That is, the skin measurement unit 210 can sequentially apply a plurality of input AC currents having different frequencies and receive a plurality of carrier AC currents corresponding thereto. Depending on the magnitude of the frequency of the alternating current, the depth of the cells that the alternating current can penetrate differs.

Specifically, the frequency-dependent transport alternating current may have different cell permeability. The cell permeability means the degree of penetration into a cell during signal input and passing through the inside of the cell. For example, if the frequency of the alternating current is low, the alternating current can not pass through the cell, and the rate of passing through the cell membranes of the adjacent cells increases. When the frequency of the alternating current is high, the alternating current passes through the cells. That is, a plurality of input alternating currents having different frequencies move along the different paths of the skin layer by different cell permeabilities and are transported. When the skin moisture (or skin moisture) is measured, the higher the frequency of the input alternating current, the higher the permeability and the higher the cell permeability. Therefore, the extracellular water content is measured through the low frequency, and the extracellular water content A value including up to the amount of intracellular water can be measured. Therefore, the skin measurement unit 210 synthesizes a plurality of transporting alternating currents obtained by applying the input alternating currents of various frequencies to obtain a skin condition (hereinafter referred to as skin condition) for the entire stratum corneum of a specific skin area Information (e.g., total skin moisture content including extracellular water content and intracellular water content of the skin layer) can be calculated.

The control unit 220 typically controls the overall operation of the skin condition measurement apparatus 200. The control unit 220 may include a configuration in the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 (for example, a user input unit for receiving a user's operation, a skin measurement unit 210 for receiving a transfer AC current, (E. G., &Lt; / RTI > 250, etc.). That is, the control unit 220 may perform a function of signal-processing the input AC current and the transport AC current to generate converted data. The conversion data may correspond to the input AC current and the carrier AC current converted into a digital signal for transmission to an external mobile terminal 100 through wireless communication.

The control unit 220 may also function to supply power to the configuration of the skin condition measurement device 200 such as the skin measurement unit 210 and the wireless communication unit 230. The controller 220 may perform an overall control function for the operation of the skin condition measuring apparatus 200.

Also, the control unit 220 can analyze the converted data of the measured conveyance AC signal to calculate the analysis result. That is, the controller 220 acquires data such as a voltage difference between an input AC current and a carrier AC current, a distortion of a signal form, and analyzes the data to provide analysis results corresponding to the skin condition. For example, the control unit 220 recognizes the difference by comparing the input alternating current and the conveying alternating current, and can grasp the skin condition corresponding to the recognized difference through the stored database.

Also, the controller 220 can calculate the analysis result by reflecting the environmental condition data measured by the environment measuring unit, which will be described later. For example, the control unit 220 can calculate the risk of ultraviolet rays of the current user's skin by reflecting the real-time ultraviolet ray amount of the place where the user is currently located.

In addition, the controller 220 may include prescription data determined by reflecting the user's skin condition or the surrounding environment condition calculated in the analysis result data. That is, the control unit 220 can search for prescription data corresponding to the skin condition of the user and provide the skin condition information together with the skin condition information. The prescription data may include various information corresponding to the skin condition of the user. For example, prescription data may include recommending the use of cosmetics such as sunblock, moisturizer, and functional cosmetics, and recommending foods that help improve or maintain skin conditions. The prescription data may correspond to a comment of a dermatologist specialist corresponding to the skin condition of the user stored in the external server or the database of the mobile terminal 100. [

The control unit can search for and provide prescription data in a database in the skin condition measuring apparatus storing the prescription data. The database may be updated periodically via wireless communication. In addition, the control unit may transmit skin condition data or surrounding environment condition data to the outside through wireless communication, and then receive appropriate prescription data.

The wireless communication unit 230 transmits the conversion data generated by the control unit 220 to the user's mobile terminal 100. The wireless communication unit 230 receives the setting information of the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 from the mobile terminal 100.

The wireless communication unit 230 is provided between the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 and the wireless communication system or between the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 and the network in which the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 is located (E.g., between the mobile terminal 100 and the skin condition measurement device 200). For example, the wireless communication unit may include a wireless Internet module, a short distance communication module, and the like.

The wireless Internet module refers to a module for wireless Internet access, and may be built in or enclosed in the skin condition measuring device 200. Wireless Internet technologies include WLAN (Wi-Fi), Wibro (Wireless broadband), Wimax (World Interoperability for Microwave Access), HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), LTE (Long Term Evolution-Advanced) or the like can be used.

BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) refers to a Bluetooth communication method that enables communication to be made faster by simplifying the connection procedure and the conventional classical Bluetooth and packet configuration method. The BLE is an improved protocol for faster and easier delivery of information read from simple sensors, and can be easily applied to articles used in everyday life. The BLE (Bluetooth 4.0) is capable of communicating with devices within approximately 5m to 70m of the device, and is low power with minimal impact on battery life, minimizing power waste and always turning on Bluetooth.

Near Field Communication (NFC) module is a non-contact communication technology that is one of radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. It is a communication technology that transmits and receives various wireless data within a distance of 10cm or less. The NFC is a next-generation local area communication technology that is attracting attention due to its relatively low security and relatively low cost because of its short communication distance. Since both data reading and writing functions are available, there is no need for a dongle (reader) that was previously required for RFID use. , But you do not have to configure between devices like Bluetooth.

The wireless communication unit 230 can transmit the converted data to the mobile terminal 100 interfaced in real time and temporarily store the converted data in the storage unit and then transmit the converted data stored when the mobile terminal 100 is connected.

In addition, the wireless communication unit 230 may include a position measurement module. The position measurement module is a module for acquiring the position of the skin condition measurement device 200, and a representative example thereof is a GPS (Global Position System) module. The position measurement module can determine the position where the user performed skin condition measurement or environmental condition measurement. Accordingly, the wireless communication unit 230 can transmit the skin condition information to the external server or the mobile terminal 100, and can form a prescription for improving or maintaining the skin condition according to the position of the user.

The environment measurement unit 250 performs a function of real-time measurement of the environmental condition data of the user. The environmental condition data may include temperature, humidity, ultraviolet ray amount, fine dust concentration, ozone concentration, and the like. That is, the environment measuring unit 250 may include a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an ultraviolet (UV) sensor, an ozone sensor, or the like for measuring the ambient environment state data. The environment measuring unit 250 measures a state of the surrounding environment affecting the skin region when the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 is contacted or disposed in the skin region of the user to perform an AC current on the skin of the user, As shown in FIG. For example, the ultraviolet ray measuring sensor may be disposed on the opposite side of the skin-contacting surface of the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 to measure the amount of ultraviolet ray actually irradiated to the skin. The control unit 220 may generate conversion data including the environmental condition data measured by the environment measurement unit 250. [

Also, the environment measuring unit may accumulate the time or position of the surrounding environment condition in which the skin of the user is exposed. The environment measuring unit may store the state of the surrounding environment in which the user has been exposed according to the position information acquired by the position measuring module. This allows the user to recognize whether the user is primarily exposed to a particular ambient condition (e.g., ultraviolet dose above a certain level) at any location. In addition, the position measurement module can be utilized for time measurement, so that the user can grasp the cumulative time of exposure to a specific environmental condition.

A user input unit (not shown) generates a user input data for controlling the operation of the mobile terminal 100. The user input unit may include a key pad, a dome switch, a touch pad (static / static), a jog wheel, a jog switch, and the like. In particular, when the touch pad has a mutual layer structure with a display unit (not shown), it can be called a touch screen.

In addition, an embodiment of the present invention may further include an output unit of the analysis result. The analysis result output unit performs a function of providing the analysis result to the user when the control unit calculates the analysis result on the skin condition based on the measured data. As a result of the analysis, the output unit can be implemented as a display method that visually provides the analysis result. As a result of analysis, the output unit can display a numerical value or a graph of a specific skin condition element according to the AC signal measurement in real time.

As a result of analysis, the rear structure of the output section can also be constituted by a light transmission type structure. With this structure, the user can view objects located behind the body of the mobile terminal through the area occupied by the output portion of the analysis result of the mobile terminal body.

According to the implementation of the skin condition measuring device, there may be two or more output portions as the analysis result. For example, in the skin condition measuring apparatus, a plurality of display portions may be spaced apart from one another, or may be disposed integrally with each other, or may be disposed on different surfaces, respectively.

As a result of the analysis, when the output unit and the touch sensor have a mutual layer structure (hereinafter referred to as 'touch screen'), the analysis result output unit can be used as an input device in addition to the output device. As a result of the analysis, the output unit may be provided on the outer surface of the housing. Particularly, the analysis result output unit can be provided in a position where the user can easily confirm the analysis result when the user holds the skin condition measuring device in his / her hand. For example, when the skin condition measuring device is manufactured in a small size included in the hand when held in the hand, it is difficult to immediately confirm the analysis result when the output part is disposed on the opposite side of the surface provided with the electrode terminal Therefore, it can be provided on the same side as the electrode terminal so as to make contact with the skin and measure the result immediately after separating it from the skin.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an image pickup apparatus comprising: an image pickup unit; And a light supply unit. The image pickup unit can perform a function of picking up a skin image of a specific skin area of the user. The obtained skin image can be used to analyze skin tone, pore size, wrinkle degree, keratin condition, and the like.

Thereafter, the image pickup section can perform skin image pickup in a state in which the light supplying section irradiates light of a predetermined brightness in various directions. Thereby, the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 can acquire the measured skin tone under the same condition.

Further, since the image pickup section is disposed at the depression 141 which is recessed by a specific depth from the outermost housing surface, the image pickup section can pick up the skin image in a state in which the predetermined distance is constantly spaced from the skin. Therefore, since the skin image can be acquired under a certain condition, the change of the skin condition of the user can be accurately grasped.

Referring to FIG. 4, a method for providing personalized skin-related data according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an information collecting step (S100) for collecting skin-related data necessary for skin management from a skin condition measuring device or a weather information server in real- ; An item constructing step (S200) of constructing item data to be provided to a user in real time or periodically based on the collected skin-related data; And a feedback receiving step (S300) of providing the item data to the user and receiving first feedback data for the item data from the user. A method of providing personalized skin-related data according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in order.

Skin information necessary for skin management from the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 or the weather information server in real time (S100; information gathering step). The skin-related data corresponds to the data measured by the user's skin or the data that may affect the user's skin condition. For example, the skin-related data may include information such as the weather, the atmospheric state, etc. at the location where the user is located. The mobile terminal 100 can directly measure the skin condition of the user through the skin measurement module 142 and receive the skin condition data measured from the skin condition measurement apparatus 200. [ In addition, the mobile terminal 100 can receive skin-related data on the surrounding environment through the wireless communication from the skin condition measuring device 200 or the weather information server, Can directly measure skin-related data on the surrounding environment. In case of the skin condition measuring unit 200, the skin condition may be directly measured through the skin measuring unit, and the surrounding environment data may be obtained through the environment measuring unit. The service server may receive skin-related data from the weather information server, the mobile terminal 100, or the skin condition measuring device 200.

The information gathering step S100 may include a step of acquiring information on the humidity measured by the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 or the mobile terminal 100, the temperature, the ultraviolet ray index, the user's motion data, At least one of the degree of wrinkles, skin color, and sensitivity can be obtained. That is, it is possible to acquire skin measurement data (e.g., input / output results of an AC current signal, skin image, etc.) and surrounding environment data (e.g., humidity, temperature, ultraviolet ray index, It is possible to calculate skin condition data (e.g., degree of moisture, degree of oiliness, degree of wrinkles, skin color, sensitivity, etc.) of the skin of the user.

The question data is configured to be provided to the user in real time or periodically based on the collected skin-related data (S200; That is, the user can generate and provide item data on various conditions to the user in order to provide prescription data that meets various conditions such as the skin condition and the user's behavior pattern. The mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring device 200 or the service server may obtain the skin-related data obtained (for example, real-time skin measurement data measuring the skin condition, And the skin condition data calculated based on the surrounding environment data), and generate question data. The item data may be generated as a question type item, a multiple choice item, etc., and may be generated as one or more items. The mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring apparatus 200, or the service server can determine the type of content suitable for the user or the preference of the user through the item data.

And supplies the item data to the user, and receives first feedback data on the item data from the user (S300; feedback receiving step). The item data is provided to the user through the screen of the mobile terminal 100 or the skin condition measuring device 200. For example, the item data may be provided in the form of displaying simple question data on the screen as shown in FIG. 5 and receiving acceptance or rejection of the same. The mobile terminal 100 or the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 may receive a user's response to the question data (i.e., the first feedback data). The first feedback data may be received from the mobile terminal 100 or the skin condition measurement device 200 through wireless communication, when it is performed in the service server. The item data may be provided immediately to the user, and may be provided to the user at a specific time including a point in time or place where the item data is generated according to the setting of the user (for example, At a particular time).

The first feedback data may be reflected in item data generation in real time. The mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring device 200 or the service server may transmit first feedback data on the previous item data to the mobile terminal 100 in order to acquire data related to the skin management such as the behavior pattern of the user, It can be reflected in real time in item search. Thus, there is an advantage that the user does not have to inquire duplicate items.

The mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring device 200 or the service server may generate a user-specific profile using the collected information (i.e., skin-related data or first feedback data) Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > content. &Lt; / RTI > The personalized content may be provided to a user through a graphical user interface displayed on the screen. The personalized contents may correspond to the following item data or prescription data.

In addition, the mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring device 200, or the service server may determine an appropriate delivery time or delivery method of the personalized contents. The personalized contents searched based on the skin-related data and the first feedback data can be directly provided, but it is possible to grasp the state of the user and determine an appropriate providing time and a providing method. For example, if the user is on the move, it may be difficult to identify personalized content or enter feedback on the personalized content. Therefore, the user can recognize the movement of the user through the motion sensor or the position measurement module and provide the personalized contents when the stop state continues for a predetermined time or more. Also, for example, when it is determined that the user is wearing an earphone, it is possible to provide personalized contents via voice and obtain feedback data by voice.

If the personalized content is prescription data for the user's skin, the mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring device 200, or the service server may determine the user's skin based on the first feedback data on the skin- And may provide appropriate prescription data consistent with the condition of the skin. The prescription data may include various information corresponding to the skin condition of the user. For example, prescription data may include recommended cosmetics such as sunblock sunscreen, moisturizer, and functional cosmetics, and food recommendations to help maintain or maintain skin conditions.

One embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of receiving user's second feedback data for the prescription data if the personalized content is prescription data for a user's skin; And evaluating the prescription data based on the second feedback data. That is, the user can respond to the prescription data whether he / she has provided appropriate prescription data for his or her situation. The mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 or the service server receives the second feedback data, evaluates the appropriateness of the prescribed data for the user's specific state, and adjusts the type and order of the provided prescription data . That is, the second feedback data may be used to analyze a user's response to the effectiveness or appropriateness of the prescription data, and to supplement the algorithm for providing prescription data.

The information collecting step S100 may include receiving ambient data from the weather information server based on the location information obtained through the user's mobile terminal or the skin condition measuring device. The ambient environment data may include at least one of temperature, humidity, ultraviolet ray index, and fine dust concentration at a location corresponding to the location information.

That is, the mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring device 200, or the service server accumulates user's location information and surrounding environment data corresponding thereto, and based on the accumulated surrounding environment data, The state can be grasped. Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring device 200, or the service server can grasp the factors affecting the skin of the user, and can analyze the relationship between the environmental condition factors and the user's skin condition change have.

The mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring apparatus 200, or the service server may derive appropriate prescription data based on the user's movement path or schedule, based on the corresponding relationship between the location information and the exposed environmental conditions . It is possible to calculate appropriate prescription data (for example, items to be prepared) based on the predetermined place information stored in the mobile terminal 100 of the user and the environmental condition exposure information previously obtained for each place.

The method may further include determining the group to which the user belongs by reflecting the skin-related data and the first feedback data. In constructing the personalized data, the mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring device 200, or the service server may refer to the prescription data for users having similar conditions. In addition, the mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring device 200 or the service server can induce an exchange between users having similar skin conditions or life patterns.

In addition, an embodiment of the present invention can acquire personalized contents of users included in the same group. That is, it can receive the prescription data corresponding to the group or the data provided from the other user belonging to the group. The mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring device 200 or the service server may receive the prescription data provided to other users having the same condition and classified into the same group. The mobile terminal 100, the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 or the service server may generate question data by reflecting prescription data provided to other users, and may reflect the prescription data to be provided to the user. In addition, the received second feedback data can be reflected in correspondence with the prescription data provided to the users of the same group.

The screen of the mobile terminal 100 or the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a graphical user interface (GUI) suitable for providing skin condition data, ambient environment data, ). &Lt; / RTI > For example, the GUI may be expressed as a step-by-step information providing notification window, a real-time information providing notification window, a similar-user sharing information providing notification window, etc. according to information provided to the user through the screen.

As shown in FIG. 6, the step-by-step information-providing notification window 600 displays information step 610 at a given point in time, thereby helping to grasp the current state of the mobile terminal. You can give. That is, since the steps of the prescription data provided according to the current level may be different even for the same type of skin condition or surrounding environment condition, it is difficult to determine which step corresponds to the present skin condition or the surrounding environment condition (610) on the screen. The detailed information 620 may be provided at a time when the user can immediately perform the operation based on the data collected by the mobile terminal 100 or the skin condition measuring device 200. [

In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the step-by-step information providing notification window 600 may provide information on a mid-to-long term prescription requiring time step by step among the prescription data constructed through analysis of the first feedback data. For example, the prescription may be performed in various steps according to the skin condition of the user, and the step-by-step information providing notification window may provide a step of performing the present execution through the progress display window 610. [ Specifically, when a user has been exposed to extreme ultraviolet rays for a long period of time, treatment information can be provided step by step so as to perform a treatment method for stabilizing the skin sequentially provided at predetermined time intervals. The user can select an input (e.g., select a check) on the screen that the prescription of a particular step among the various steps has been performed, or an input (for example, snooze) to postpone it to be performed later. Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100 or the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 can determine whether the step information is to be performed at the time of providing the step information (for example, a check corresponding to the completion of the execution or a snooze selection corresponding to the prescription postponement) Can be determined.

Also, the step-by-step information providing notification window 600 may display the current step information again, show the next step information, or indicate that the step has stopped in the middle. The mobile terminal 100 or the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 measures the time flow of a prescribed step-by-step prescription and provides information on the next step when it receives an input from the user that the current step has been completed (for example, The timing can be judged. In addition, the mobile terminal 100 or the skin condition measuring device 200 may provide the current step information again after a certain time elapsed when a delay or hold input is selected from the user (for example, snooze selection).

In addition, the mobile terminal 100 or the skin condition measuring device 200 may be used when the user has delayed or paused by more than a predetermined number of times, or when the given time for the current step has expired The mobile terminal 100 or the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 can stop the step-by-step prescription or initiate the prescription process.

In another exemplary embodiment of the step-by-step information providing notification window 600, a function of reminding a drug taking time or a treatment time may be performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when five treatment measures are required, a notification such as blinking of the performance counter may be provided at the time of performing the treatment. The mobile terminal 100 or the skin condition measuring apparatus 200 may receive a dosage or treatment completion input (for example, a check selection) from a user and display it on the screen.

7, the similar-user-shared information providing notification window 700 includes a prescription data providing region 710 and a similar user display region 720, as shown in FIG. 7, according to another embodiment of the notification window displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal. can do. The prescription data providing area 710 may be an area for displaying and organizing information required for the current user among the prescription data provided to similar user groups configured in the service server in real time. The user can evaluate the data displayed in the prescription data providing area 710 and transmit the data to the service server. For example, the prescription data providing region 710 may include a tab for determining the degree of interest of the user (for example, the user is not interested in the "More detail" Quot; Not interested "tab, etc.) indicating that the mobile terminal 100 has a specific tab selected by the user and can transmit the selected data to the service server. The real-time provision information may be information considering the current environment in which the user is located. Therefore, if there is no information related to the surrounding environment of the present position among the prescription contents of the interest group or the similar user group, there may be no delivery contents.

The interest in the received real-time provision information may be reflected in the participation degree of the individual's prescription data curation and similar user group and may be reflected in whether or not the prescription data is provided to other similar users. At this time, the selection data may correspond to feedback for judging only the interest of the user, not the data for evaluating the accuracy of the prescription data. The selection data may be used to calculate user-specific individual prescription data priorities along with second feedback data for evaluating prescription data.

The similar user display area 720 may indicate the degree of engagement of interest groups or similar user groups for real-time provisioning information. For example, the similar user display area 720 may display the number of other users who have specifically confirmed specific real-time provision information, and the like. In addition, if the user has the online friend relationship information (for example, the partner information that is confirmed because the friend relationship is formed in the social network service) and the information disclosure of the user is permitted, Can be displayed. Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100 can transmit not only the specific prescription data provided to the similar user group under the environmental variable condition but also the similar group information of interest to the prescription data or other user information in the similar group from the service server, The present invention provides a method for providing personalized skin-related data according to an embodiment of the present invention. The personalized skin-related data providing method includes providing skin- An information collecting step (S100) of collecting, in real time, skin-related data necessary for skin management from the state measuring device or the weather information server; Generating alert information based on the skin-related data (S400); Providing the notification information to the user and receiving an interaction from the user (S500); And analyzing the interaction and reflecting the interaction to the notification information generation (S600).
