Description

LED mask customized for skin condition {LED MASK CUSTOMIZED FOR SKIN CONDITION}

The present invention relates to a skin condition customized LED mask, and more particularly, to a skin condition customized LED mask that measures the wearer's skin condition in real time and irradiates LED light of a wavelength band suitable for the measured skin condition so that the wearer's facial care can be performed.

Today, modern people are managing with functional cosmetics or packs, massages, and professional procedures to quickly recover damaged skin to prevent skin diseases and aging as interest in appearance increases.

Among skin care methods, mask pack products with various effects are available on the market and are preferred because they are easy to use.

These mask pack products are attached to the face to supply moisture and nutrients to the skin to make it moist and elastic, and to promote metabolism to remove wastes accumulated on the skin.

In addition to the mask pack, the development of a mask using phototherapy is also being actively conducted.

Phototherapy is a light medical technology that treats damaged skin through selective regeneration or destruction of skin tissue using the principle of promoting biochemical reactions in the skin by irradiating light to the skin using various light sources such as sunlight, laser, fluorescent lamp, and ultraviolet lamp. Recently, it is widely used not only for medical purposes but also for cosmetic purposes.

Unlike high-power lasers, the LED light source can irradiate a large area of diseased area with appropriate light output, and the skin treatment technology using the LED light source is similar to the principle in which sunlight is converted into plant cells through chlorophyll in plants. By irradiating the LED light source, photo-biochemical reactions between skin cells are induced.

Phototherapy using such an LED light source is based on the fact that photons from the LED light source are absorbed by chromospheres or photo acceptors in cell tissues and promote metabolic activities of cells.

Light absorbed by cells increases ROS and ATP synthesis in cell tissues, and cells exposed to red light and near-infrared light release NO.

Light of a wavelength selected at an appropriate time and period is absorbed by photoreceptors such as cytochrome c oxidase in cells, which photodegrades inhibitory NO, promotes enzyme activation, and promotes mitochondrial metabolism and ATP production.

This causes proteins such as hemoglobin and myoglobin to release additional NO, which results in a series of intracellular biochemical reactions.

As a result, LED light irradiation to cells activates the overall metabolic activity of cells and plays a large role in cell regeneration and rehabilitation. In addition, LED light irradiation promotes the production of collagen and elastin in the skin and suppresses the occurrence of wrinkles, and makes the skin moist and elastic.

However, in the conventional mask-type LED irradiation device, the designated LED light is irradiated as a whole without considering the wearer's skin condition, so that proper medical and cosmetic effects are not generated. There is a problem that the LED light suitable for the wearer's skin condition cannot be irradiated in real time in response to the continuously changing skin condition even while using the LED mask.

Therefore, a method for solving these problems is required.

Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1157102

The present invention is an invention made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, by measuring the skin condition of the individual wearer wearing an LED mask in real time so that the most appropriate LED light can be irradiated, thereby providing medical and cosmetic effects.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention in which the object of the present invention can be realized in detail will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present embodiment, the same name and the same code are used for the same configuration, and additional description thereof will be omitted.

The present invention relates to a skin condition customized LED mask that measures the wearer's skin condition in real time and irradiates LED light of a wavelength band suitable for the measured skin condition so that the wearer's facial care can be performed. As shown in FIG. An analysis unit 300 that receives and analyzes the wearer's skin condition in real time to accurately grasp the skin information of the wearer in the current state wearing the LED mask, a care unit 400 provided on the inner surface of the mask housing 100 and radiating LED light to the wearer's face so that facial care is performed according to the wearer's skin condition analyzed by the analyzer 300, and a control unit that controls the driving of the care unit 400 based on the analysis result from the analysis unit 300 (500).

At this time, the control unit 500, based on the result of the wearer's current skin condition analyzed by the analyzer 300, the intensity, driving time, and wavelength of the LED light irradiated from the care unit 400 to the wearer's face. By applying a mode in which different types are set, customized care can be performed corresponding to the wearer's skin condition in real time.

Here, the wearer's skin condition refers to skin types such as dry, normal, combination, neutral, and oily skin corresponding to the level of oil or moisture and dryness of the skin, the number of pores, the size of the pores, the degree of pigmentation (melanin) deposition or redness, and the presence or absence of sebum or wrinkles.

In addition, it is possible to designate a plurality of modes by applying different intensity and driving time of LED light and types of wavelengths of LED light so that the above-mentioned skin condition information can be digitized and optimal care can be performed within a certain category. By presetting these different modes in the control unit 500, the care unit 400 can perform the optimal care mode for the current skin condition measured by the measurement unit 200 and analyzed by the analysis unit 300.

At this time, the mask housing 100 may be provided in the form of a mask having a shape corresponding to a person's face, so as to cover the wearer's face as a whole, but is not limited thereto, and in some cases, it is possible to divide each part of the face so that care can be performed only on the part desired by the wearer, so that it is composed of a plurality of parts, and these plurality of parts can be combined to be detachable.

In addition, since the LED mask needs to be supplied with power so that the measurement unit 200, the analysis unit 300, and the care unit 400 can be driven, a power supply unit (not shown) may be provided inside the LED mask, and the power unit can be charged wirelessly or wired, so that the power required for the overall driving of the LED mask can be stored and supplied when necessary.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the measurement unit 200 for measuring the wearer's skin condition may include a measurement sensor module 210 and a cam module 220 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 .

The measurement sensor module 210 may be provided on one side of the inner surface of the mask housing 100 and may be composed of an oil and moisture sensor to measure oil and moisture information of the wearer's skin.

The measurement sensor module 210 is provided in a position corresponding to the inner side of the mask housing 100, and the microcurrent is shed on the skin surface of the wearer to measure moisture and oil, thereby, the position of the measurement sensor module 210 is not limited to the ball-jaw part, but in the case of the forehead, nose, jaw, in some cases. It can be provided in one or plurality of positions corresponding to each part that is divided into the balls, the body, etc.

In this way, the measurement sensor module 210 is positioned for each part of the face rather than at one location to more accurately measure the level of oil and moisture in the wearer's current skin, and through the level of oil and moisture measured at each, suitable care can be performed for each part of the face.

In addition, the cam module 220 may be provided on one side of the front of the mask housing 100, and may perform a role of collecting basic information on the wearer's skin by photographing the wearer's face as a whole from the front.

For example, the cam module 220 may be provided at a position corresponding to the center of the forehead of the front surface of the mask housing 100, and the wearer may photograph his or her own face through the cam module 220 before wearing the LED mask, and the information photographed by the cam module 220 is transmitted to the analysis unit 300, and the skin corresponding to the number of pores, the size of the pores, the degree of pigmentation (melanin) deposition or redness, and the presence or absence of sebum or wrinkles Basic information can be obtained.

The cam module 220 may include a camera unit 221 that photographs the wearer's face and a lighting unit 222 that emits light so that basic mode, polarization mode, and UV mode photography is possible in the camera unit 221.

That is, the camera unit 221 can measure the number and size of pores through the basic mode, measure the degree of pigmentation or flushing through the polarization mode, and measure information on sebum or wrinkles through the UV mode.

At this time, the cam module 220 may be formed in a structure capable of left and right reciprocating movement on the front surface of the mask housing 100, for example, a structure coupled to a guide rail enabling left and right reciprocating movement within a certain range.

The reason why the cam module 220 is configured to reciprocate left and right in front of the mask housing 100 is to ensure that when the wearer takes a picture of their face from the front, the left, front, and right sides of the face can be three-dimensionally photographed without directly moving the mask from side to side or turning the head from side to side, thereby preventing shaking or misalignment of the shooting range between shots of the cam module 220 so that accurate shooting can be achieved.

At this time, the guide rail for allowing the cam module 220 to reciprocate left and right is preferably formed with a gentle curve so that three-dimensional shooting can be easily achieved by continuously taking pictures of the wearer's face from left to right or from right to left.

As described above, the analysis unit 300, which receives the information measured by the measurement unit 200 composed of the cam module 220 and the measurement sensor module 210, synthesizes and analyzes the above-described basic information and oil and moisture information of the skin, so that the care unit 400 can provide optimal care suitable for the wearer's current skin condition.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the care unit 400 that irradiates LED light to the wearer's face so that care can be performed may be made of an LED substrate formed by arranging a plurality of LED modules.

In addition, as described above, it may be made of an LED substrate partitioned for each part in correspondence with the mask housing 100 that can be partitioned for each part of the face, but is not limited thereto, and a plurality of LED modules are arranged. It is made of one LED substrate, but individual driving may be performed for each part of the face, such as the forehead, cheeks, nose, philtrum, and chin, under the control of the control unit 500.

That is, the care unit 400 is not uniform in intensity or driving time of one wavelength or LED light as a whole, so that the same care is performed on the wearer's face, but in response to the skin condition of each part. By allowing different care to be performed at the same time, the care efficiency compared to the use time of the LED mask can be maximized.

For example, by integrating the information analyzed by the analyzer 300, the control unit 500 sets an appropriate irradiation wavelength range for each part of the face, so that the most deeply penetrating red wavelength among the LED light wavelengths is irradiated to the thickest cheek part of the facial skin, and blue wavelength is irradiated to a relatively thin part such as the forehead.

In addition, when the skin condition is not good, in order to prevent skin damage due to excessive wavelength, the LED light can be selected and irradiated in a relatively thin wavelength range, and the driving time can also be finely adjusted.

The fact that each part of the wearer's face is divided in this way can be more easily understood with reference to FIG. 4, and as shown in FIG. 4, different colors are displayed for each part in the care unit 400. It can be understood as indicating that individual care can be performed at the same time.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5 , the LED mask may further include a controller 600 configured separately from the LED mask and interlocked with the controller 500 .

At this time, the controller 600 may be provided with a display liquid crystal displaying information on the wearer's current skin condition measured by the measurement unit 200 and analyzed by the analyzer 300 so that the wearer can directly check it.

In addition, the display liquid crystal provided in the controller 600 displays the current driving mode of the care unit 400 driven by the control unit 500, or lists and displays driveable modes, and the care unit 400 can be driven by selecting a care mode desired by the wearer.

For example, the controller 600 not only allows the wearer to check the skin condition analyzed in the analysis unit 300 in real time, but also sets the control unit 500 to see that the care unit 400 is operated in the current skin condition, and it can be confirmed that the care unit 400 is driving optimized for the current skin condition, and the person who is recommended by the control unit 500 is recommended by the control unit 500. By selecting a care mode to allow the care unit 400 to be driven, facial care can be achieved.

In addition, in addition to the care mode preset in the control unit 500, the wearer can subdivide and select the type of intensity, driving time, and wavelength of the LED light desired by the wearer, and it is also possible to select the part of the face to be cared for in the care unit 400, so that intensive care can be performed only on the desired part.

At this time, the controller 600 may be configured as a separate configuration that forms a set with the LED mask as described above, but is not limited thereto, and is composed of a wearer's mobile device or PC, and the LED mask and the mobile device or PC are interlocked. It is also possible to check skin condition information and care mode, and directly select a care mode to drive the care unit 400.

In addition, the controller 600 receives the result analyzed by the analyzer 300 and turns it into data so that the measured skin condition can be stored, and the wearer can check the accumulated skin condition information data to check the skin care process, that is, the progress, and digitize the change in the skin so that it can be confirmed.

As described above, the preferred embodiments according to the present invention have been reviewed, and the fact that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms in addition to the above-described embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope is common knowledge in the art. It is obvious to those who have. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive, and thus the present invention is not limited to the above description, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
