Measuring device and server

The present invention relates to an assay device and a server.

In general, the skin care cosmetics used in the skin are preferably selected in consideration of the state of the skin of the consumer. Therefore, in a cosmetics sales store, a salesperson usually uses a measuring device to measure the state of the skin of the consumer, and proposes the best cosmetic based on the measurement result.

In the prior art, a technique for measuring the state of the skin using a sensor and a camera is known as a technique for measuring the state of the skin (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [Prior Technical Literature] [Patent Literature]

[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-329674

In fact, human skin suffers from various physical stimuli. The skin responds to physical stimuli (hereinafter referred to as "stimulation response"). There are individual differences in the stimuli response. Skin care cosmetics are preferably selected in consideration of such irritation reactions. That is, in order to provide the best skin care cosmetics, it is necessary to understand various irritating reactions.

However, in the measurement results obtained from the sensor and the camera of Patent Document 1, there is no correlation with the stimulation reaction. The measurement result of Patent Document 1 is based on the estimation result of the information acquired by the sensor and the camera, and is not an actual stimulus responder.

That is, in Patent Document 1, it is impossible to measure various stimulating responses of human skin to physical stimuli actually suffered.

The object of the present invention is to determine various irritating responses of human skin to physical stimuli actually suffered. [Technical means to solve the problem]

As shown in Fig. 8, the measuring device 50 adds physical stimulation to the subject.

In particular, processor 52 generates a pump control signal. The pump 57d is driven in accordance with the pump control signal. As a result, the stimulating substance (at least one of the water contained in the water tank 57a, the washing liquid contained in the washing liquid tank 57b, and the air in the main body 50a) is sent to the tube 55f. The stimulating substance passing through the tube 55f is released from the gas-liquid inlet and outlet 55fa. The stimulating substance released from the gas-liquid inlet and outlet 55fa is in contact with the skin of the subject. Thereby, the physical stimulation of the liquid or gas is added to the subject.

Again, processor 52 generates a detector control signal. The Peltier element 55a generates heat based on the detector control signal. The physical stimulus of the temperature change is added to the subject by the heat emitted by the Peltier element 55a.

The measuring device 50 measures the stimuli response of the subject to the physical stimuli, generates measurement result information indicating the measurement result, and transmits the generated measurement result information to the client device 10.

The client device 10 transmits the subject ID identifying the subject and the measurement result information transmitted from the measuring device 50 to the server 30.

The server 30 stores the information (subject ID and measurement result information) transmitted from the client device 10 in association with the memory device 31.

Thereby, information on the stimuli response of each subject to physical stimulation is stored in the server 30.

(3) Database The library of this embodiment will be described. The following database is stored in the memory device 31.

(3-1) Subject Information Database The subject information database of the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 9 is a view showing the structure of the data of the subject information database of the present embodiment.

In the subject information database of Figure 9, the subject information about the subject is stored. The subject information database contains the Subject ID field, the Subject Name field, and the Attribute field. Each field is associated with each other.

In the "Subjector ID" field, the subject ID identifying the subject is stored. The subject ID is determined by the server 30, for example, when the subject information of the subject measured by the measuring device 50 of the present embodiment is first registered (hereinafter referred to as "initial registration").

In the "Subject Name" field, information (such as text) indicating the name of the subject is stored. Information indicating the name of the subject, for example, at the time of initial registration, is arbitrarily determined by the subject.

In the "wash" field, information indicating whether to perform (turn on or off) the measurement sequence for determining the stimulatory response to the cleaning solution is stored. In the measurement sequence, the pump 57d delivers the cleaning liquid to the head mounted detector 55. The washing liquid delivered to the head-mounted detector 55 is in contact with the skin of the subject. The camera 55e takes an image of the subject's skin while the washing liquid is in contact with the skin of the subject. This image represents the measurement result of excess sebum secretion. Excessive sebum secretion can affect, for example, the risk of skin on blister, or acne.

In the "Contact with Water" field, information indicating whether to perform (turn on or off) the measurement sequence used to determine the sensation felt by contact with water is stored. In this assay sequence, pump 57d delivers water to head mounted detector 55. The water delivered to the head-mounted detector 55 is in contact with the skin of the subject. When the subject operates the push button 56a or the slider 56b in accordance with the contact of the water, pressing the button 56a or the slider 56b produces an electrical signal corresponding to the operation of the subject. The electrical signal indicates the measurement of the sensation of the sense of contact with water. When the subject moves according to the contact of the water, the acceleration sensor 55d generates information indicating the acceleration of the head mounted detector 55 (hereinafter referred to as "acceleration information"). This acceleration information indicates the measurement result of the unconscious feeling of contact with water. The feeling felt by contact with water can affect the risk of embrittlement, sensitization, or ectopic skin on the stratum corneum.

In the "Water Evaporation" field, information indicating whether to perform (on or off) a measurement sequence for measuring the sensation felt by evaporation of water is stored. After the water is brought into contact with the skin of the subject in the measurement sequence, the pump 57d delivers the air in the body 50a to the head-mounted detector 55. The heater 55c heats the air. The air heated by the heater 55c evaporates the water adhering to the skin of the subject. When the subject operates the push button 56a or the slider 56b in accordance with the evaporation of water, pressing the button 56a or the slider 56b produces an electrical signal corresponding to the operation of the subject. The electrical signal indicates the measurement of the sensation of consciousness under the evaporation of water. The acceleration sensor 55d generates acceleration information when the subject moves according to evaporation of water. This acceleration information indicates the measurement result of the unconscious feeling of evaporation of water. The sensation felt by the evaporation of water can affect the risk of skin with insufficient lipids or lipids.

In the "warm wind" field, information indicating whether to perform (turn on or off) the measurement sequence for measuring excess blush is stored. In this measurement sequence, the pump 57d delivers the air in the body 50a to the head mounted detector 55. The heater 55c heats the air. As a result, the warm air is in contact with the skin of the subject. The camera 55e takes an image of the subject's skin while the warm air is in contact with the skin of the subject. This image is the result of the measurement of excess blush. Excessive blush can affect, for example, the risk of red skin, swelling, or rosacea skin.

In the "Temperature Change" field, information indicating whether to perform (turn on or off) a measurement sequence for determining the sensation of a weaker temperature stimulus is stored. In the measurement sequence, the temperature of the subject is slowly raised by the Peltier element 55a to add a weak temperature stimulus to the skin of the subject. When the subject operates the push button 56a or the slider 56b according to the weaker temperature stimulus, pressing the button 56a or the slider 56b produces an electrical signal corresponding to the operation of the subject. The electrical signal is the result of the measurement of the perception of a weaker temperature stimulus. The acceleration sensor 55d generates acceleration information when the subject moves according to a weaker temperature stimulus. This information is the result of the unconscious feeling of the weaker temperature stimulus. Feelings that are irritating to weaker temperatures can affect the risk of skin discomfort when applying makeup.

In the "Hot" field, a record indicating whether to perform (on or off) a measurement sequence for determining the sensation of a strong temperature stimulus is stored. In the measurement sequence, the temperature of the subject is violently increased by the Peltier element 55a to add a strong temperature stimulus to the skin of the subject. When the subject operates the push button 56a or the slider 56b according to the strong temperature stimulus, pressing the button 56a or the slider 56b generates an electrical signal corresponding to the operation of the subject. The electrical signal is the result of the measurement of the perception of a stronger temperature stimulus. The acceleration sensor 55d generates acceleration information when the subject moves according to a strong temperature stimulus. This information is the result of the unconscious feeling of a strong temperature stimulus. The feeling of a strong temperature sensation affects the risk of skin discomfort when applying makeup.

In the "Air Vibration" field, information indicating whether to perform (turn on or off) the measurement sequence for determining the stimulus response to pressure vibration is stored. In this measurement sequence, the pump 57d delivers air to the head mounted detector 55. The air delivered to the head-mounted detector 55 vibrates the skin of the subject. The pressure measuring unit 58 measures the temporal change in the phase of the skin surface of the vibrating skin due to viscoelasticity. The time change of this phase is the result of the measurement of the stimuli response to pressure vibration. The irritating response to pressure vibration can affect, for example, the risk of skin fragility, dandruff, or cracking.

In the "Pumping Pressure" field, information indicating whether to perform (on or off) the measurement sequence for determining the stimulus response to aspiration is stored. In the measurement sequence, the pump 57d sucks the air in the head mounted detector 55. As a result, suction pressure is applied to the skin of the subject. The pressure measuring unit 58 measures the temporal change in the pressure of the skin surface of the subject due to viscoelasticity. The time change of this pressure is the result of the measurement of the stimulation response to suction. The irritating response to aspiration can affect, for example, the risk of edema, sagging, or wrinkles.

In the "Light" field, information indicating whether to perform (on or off) the measurement sequence for determining the stimulus response to light is stored. In this measurement sequence, the LED 55i emits light in various ways corresponding to the combination of intensity and angle of refraction. The camera 55e captures an image of the subject's skin while the light is shining on the subject's skin. The absorbance is obtained from the image. Absorbance is the result of measurement of the stimulus response to light. The irritating response to light can affect, for example, the risk of skin on chloasma, dullness, irritability, or dark circles.
