According to another embodiment, the control unit 117 may receive a cosmetics recognition command as the current location is recognized as a preset location. There may be at least one preset location, for example, a home, an office, etc. If the control unit 117 is set to recognize cosmetics when the current location is home, the control unit 117 may recognize the cosmetics by considering that a cosmetics recognition command has been received whenever the current location is detected as home. The location of home, work, etc. is only illustrative and is not limited thereto.

According to another embodiment, the control unit 117 may receive a cosmetics recognition command based on the date and time according to schedule information. For example, if a schedule such as a meeting is registered at 7 pm on April 18, 2018, the control unit 117 considers the cosmetics recognition command to have been received at 6 am on April 18, 2018, and recognizes the cosmetics. You can.

Next, Figure 4 is an example diagram showing a method of receiving a cosmetics recognition command through an input unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figures 5 and 6 show cosmetics based on the current location according to an embodiment of the present invention. This is an example diagram showing a recognition method, and Figure 7 is an example diagram showing a method of recognizing cosmetics based on a set recognition range according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the display unit 109 may display a cosmetics recognition input screen. The cosmetics recognition input screen may include at least one cosmetics recognition setting item (410, 420, 430), a recognition icon (31), and a cancel icon (32).

The cosmetics recognition setting items 410, 420, and 430 may include a location-based cosmetics recognition item 410, a set distance-based cosmetics recognition item 420, and a barcode-based cosmetics recognition item 430.

The control unit 117 may select one of the cosmetics recognition setting items 410, 420, and 430 and then receive a command to select the recognition icon 31. The control unit 117 may receive a cosmetics recognition command as the recognition icon 31 is selected. When receiving a cosmetics recognition command, the control unit 117 can recognize the cosmetics based on the selected cosmetics recognition setting items.

When the location-based cosmetics recognition item 410 is selected, the control unit 117 can recognize cosmetics based on the current location.

Specifically, the control unit 117 detects the current location, sets the recognition range of the cosmetics to the first range if the current location is the first location, and recognizes the cosmetics, and if the current location is the second location, the recognition range of the cosmetics Cosmetics can be recognized by setting as the second range.

The first location and the second location may be preset. For example, the first location may be a location set as home, and the second location may be a location set as office.

The first range and the second range may be set in advance. For example, the first range may be within a radius D1, and the second range may be within a radius D2.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the current location is home, the control unit 117 can recognize the first to sixth cosmetics (C1 to C6) by recognizing the cosmetics within a radius D1.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, when the current location is the office, the control unit 117 recognizes the cosmetics within a radius D2, recognizes the 10th to 11th cosmetics (C10, C11), and the 1st to 9th cosmetics ( C1 to C9) and 12th to 15th cosmetics (C12 to C15) may not be recognized.

In this case, the control unit 117 has the advantage of being able to recognize cosmetics by setting the recognition range according to the characteristics of the current location. In other words, if the current location is the home, most of the cosmetics located at home are likely to be the user's cosmetics, so the recognition range is set wide. If the current location is the office, the cosmetics located in the office are likely to be the user's cosmetics. By narrowly setting the bar recognition range, you can increase the possibility of recognizing only cosmetics owned by the user.

Meanwhile, the case where the location-based cosmetics recognition item 410 is selected is given as an example, but FIGS. 5 and 6 can also be applied when a cosmetics recognition command is received when the current location is a preset location.

Again, referring to FIG. 4, when the set distance-based cosmetics recognition item 420 is selected, the control unit 117 may recognize the cosmetics based on the set distance. The set distance-based cosmetics recognition item 420 includes an item 421 for recognizing cosmetics within a first radius (e.g., 3 m) and an item for recognizing cosmetics within a second radius (e.g., 1 m). 422 and an item 422 for recognizing cosmetics within a third radius (eg, 50 cm). However, the setting radius and number of items are only examples and are not limited thereto.

When the set distance-based cosmetics recognition item 420 is selected, the control unit 117 can recognize cosmetics existing within the set recognition range. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the set recognition range is within the radius D3, the control unit 117 recognizes the cosmetics within the radius D3 and recognizes the third cosmetics (C3), the sixth cosmetics (C6), Recognizes the 12th to 13th cosmetics (C12, C13), the 1st to 2nd cosmetics (C1, C2), the 4th to 5th cosmetics (C4, C5), the 7th to 11th cosmetics (C7 to C11), and the 14 to 15 Cosmetics (C14 to C15) may not be recognized.

In this case, there is an advantage of setting the recognition range according to the user's preference and recognizing cosmetics only within the set recognition range.

In this way, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 117 can set the recognition range for cosmetics and recognize only cosmetics that exist within the recognition range.

The control unit 117 may adjust the frequency of the RF signal transmitted by the RFID reader unit 113 to recognize cosmetics according to the recognition range of the cosmetics.

Specifically, the control unit 117 recognizes the cosmetics by transmitting an RF signal with a first frequency when the recognition range of the cosmetics is set to the first range, and recognizes the cosmetics by transmitting an RF signal with a second frequency when the recognition range of the cosmetics is set to the second range. Cosmetics can be recognized by transmitting an RF signal, and when the recognition range of cosmetics is set to the third range, cosmetics can be recognized by transmitting an RF signal with a third frequency. At this time, the first range is within a radius of 500cm and the first frequency is 125kHz, the second range is within a radius of 1m and the second frequency is 2.45GHz, and the third range is within a radius of 50m and the third frequency is 433MHz. However, this is just an example for convenience of explanation, so there is no need to be limited thereto.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the RFID reader unit 113 is equipped with a plurality of antennas with different frequencies and can adjust the frequency of the RF signal. Alternatively, the RFID reader unit 113 includes a plurality of RFID readers with different frequencies, and the frequency of the RF signal can be adjusted by driving one RFID reader.

The RFID tag 11 may also include multiple antennas with different frequencies or may include a plurality of RFID tags.

The control unit 117 can change the recognition range by adjusting the frequency of the RF signal in this manner. However, since this is only an example, the recognition range can be changed in other ways.

Referring again to FIG. 4 , when the barcode-based cosmetics recognition item 430 is selected, the control unit 117 may drive the barcode reader unit 115 to recognize the cosmetics. The barcode reader unit 115 can recognize cosmetics by reading the barcode attached to the cosmetics.

In this case, the user has the advantage of being able to manually recognize the cosmetics by placing the barcode of the cosmetics close to the barcode reader unit 115.

The control unit 117 may receive cosmetics information as it recognizes the cosmetics in step S309. That is, the control unit 117 controls the RFID reader unit 113 to transmit an RF signal to the RFID tag 11, and receives cosmetic information from the RF tag 11 to recognize the cosmetics.

Figure 8 is an example diagram showing cosmetics information received from an RF tag according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The RFID reader unit 113 may receive cosmetics information from the RFID tag 11, and the cosmetics information may be information related to the cosmetics 10 to which the RFID tag 11 is attached. Cosmetics information may include at least some or all of the following: name, image, category, date of manufacture, date of recognition of the RFID tag, and attributes.

Again, Fig. 3 will be described.

The control unit 117 may transmit information on the recognized cosmetics to the server 1 (S311) and receive detailed information on the recognized cosmetics from the server 1 (S313).

The control unit 117 may receive detailed information and latest information related to the recognized cosmetics through steps S311 and S313.

Depending on the embodiment, steps S311 and S313 may be omitted.

The control unit 117 may generate a cosmetics list consisting of recognized cosmetics (S315).

The control unit 117 may generate a cosmetics list based on cosmetics information.

The cosmetics list is a list representing recognized cosmetics, and may be a list in which at least one cosmetics recognized through the RFID reader unit 113 is classified according to cosmetics category. The cosmetics list may further include cosmetics recognized through the barcode reader unit 115. Additionally, the cosmetics list may further include cosmetics manually input by the user through the input unit 103.

For example, the cosmetics category includes a major category that separates basic cosmetics and color cosmetics, a small category that separates skin, essence, eye cream, lotion, day cream, and sunscreen among basic cosmetics, and base, foundation, and eyebrows among color cosmetics. , may include subcategories that distinguish eyeliner, lip, and blusher. In other words, for each recognized cosmetic, the cosmetics list consists of either skin, essence, eye cream, lotion, day cream, and sunscreen among basic cosmetics, or base, foundation, eyebrows, eye line, lip, and blusher among color cosmetics. It may be a list that is displayed for each category after determining whether it belongs.

The display unit 109 can display the generated cosmetics list (S317).

The control unit 117 determines whether a viewing option setting command for the cosmetics list has been received (S319), and when the viewing option setting command is received, the control unit 117 can change the cosmetics list according to the viewing option setting command (S321).

9 to 15, a method of displaying a cosmetics list according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Figure 9 is an example diagram showing a method of displaying a cosmetics list according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9, the display unit 109 can display a cosmetics list 90. Depending on the embodiment, the display unit 109 may further display a view option setting item 80 along with the cosmetics list 90.

When the control unit 117 receives a command to select one of the viewing option setting items 80, it can change and display the cosmetics list according to the selected viewing option setting item. The view option setting items may include the 'View after setting only owned cosmetics' item, 'View according to remaining usage period' item, and 'View unused/purchase suggestion' item, but this is only an example.

Figure 10 is an example diagram showing a method of manually setting only the cosmetics on hand according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 11 is an example diagram showing a method of displaying a cosmetics list indicating the cosmetics on hand according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 12 is an example diagram showing a method of displaying a cosmetics list indicating owned cosmetics according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 117 displays recognition cosmetics icons 91 representing each recognized cosmetics in the cosmetics list 90, and can distinguish each of the recognized cosmetics icons 91 according to cosmetics categories. .

Next, Figure 13 is an example diagram showing a method of displaying a cosmetics list according to the remaining usage period according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 14 is a cosmetics list according to the remaining usage period according to the second embodiment of the present invention. This is an example diagram showing a display method.

When displaying the cosmetics list 90, the control unit 117 may display cosmetics in order of the shortest remaining use period.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 117 can display a cosmetics list 90 including a recognized cosmetics icon 91 and a remaining period icon 96. there is. The cosmetics list 90 includes at least one recognition cosmetics icon 91 representing cosmetics recognized through the RFID reader unit 113 or the barcode reader unit 115, and each of the recognized cosmetics icons 91 is a remaining period icon. (96) may be included.

The remaining period icon 96 may include the remaining use period of the cosmetic product corresponding to the recognized cosmetic icon 91. The remaining use period of the cosmetics may be calculated based on at least one of the production date information of the cosmetics and the recognition date information on which the cosmetics were recognized included in the cosmetics information. For a specific example, the control unit 117 calculates the expiration date of the cosmetic by adding the average usable period of the cosmetic to the production date of the cosmetic included in the cosmetic information, and then calculates the remaining period from the current date to the expiration date as the remaining usage period. It can be calculated as: Alternatively, if there is no production date information of the cosmetics in the cosmetics information, the average usage period of the cosmetics on the recognition date when the cosmetics was recognized through the RFID reader unit 113 or the barcode reader unit 115 or the average usage period of the cosmetics. You can calculate the expiration date of cosmetics by subtracting a certain period and adding the period, and the remaining period from the current date to the expiration date can be calculated as the remaining period. In some cases, cosmetics information received from the RFID tag 11 may include information on the expiration date of the cosmetics.

For example, the remaining period icon 96 may indicate the remaining period of use of the cosmetic, such as '6M', '5D', '1W', or '1Y', and '6M' indicates that the remaining period of use is 6 months. , '5D' may indicate that the remaining usage period is 5 days, '1W' may indicate that the remaining usage period is 1 week, and '1Y' may indicate that the remaining usage period is 1 year. However, since this method is only illustrative, there is no need to be limited thereto.
