Description

System to support operation of light irradiation type beauty device

The present invention relates to a cosmetic device that irradiates light to the skin.

Conventionally, there is known an apparatus that irradiates light to the skin in order to perform processing (hair removal processing) for making the hair of a user less noticeable from the skin surface (for example, see Patent Document 1).

光 In this light-irradiation type beauty device, body hair can be partially burned or hair roots can be damaged by the light of the flash lamp. The baked hair becomes brittle and can be easily removed from the skin surface. By damaging the hair root, the speed at which the body hair grows again can be suppressed.

JP 2012-239874 A

Here, when a general user performs skin care using the above-described beauty device, the expected effect may not be obtained unless the beauty device is properly operated. For example, a rough operation may cause a skin area (unevenness) where the roller is not irradiated. Conversely, if the operation is excessively careful, the same location may be irradiated with an unexpectedly large amount of irradiation (overtreatment).

The present invention aims to assist a user in operating a light irradiation type beauty device.

The present invention provides, in one aspect, an operation support system that includes a detection unit that detects a movement of a photo epilator operated by a user, and a display unit that displays an area of the skin irradiated by the photo epilator. I do.

FIG. 1 shows an outline of the support system 10. The support system 10 includes a beauty device 100 and a mobile terminal 300.

FIG. 2 is an outline of the structure of the beauty device 100. The support system 10 includes an apparatus main body 30 and an irradiation head 20. The irradiation head 20 is detachably attached to the apparatus main body 30. The user grasps the apparatus main body 30 and applies the irradiation head 20 to a portion of the user's body to be irradiated. When the user changes the position where the beauty device 100 is applied to the skin in the attached state, the irradiation head 20 and the apparatus main body 30 move integrally.

The apparatus main body 30 includes the operation unit 112 and the control board 130. The operation unit 112 is a switch operated by the user and is provided on the surface of the apparatus main body 30. The operation unit 112 turns on / off the main power supply of the beauty device 100, turns on / off the operation of the light irradiation unit, and sets and changes the operation mode. It is for doing.

FIG. 3 shows an outline of the structure of the irradiation head 20. The housing 210 includes a skin contact surface, an opening 210b, a touch sensor unit 210d, and an imaging unit 240. The housing 210 houses a xenon tube 212, a transmission glass 214, an auxiliary roller 290, and a main roller 220.

The imaging unit 240 includes an optical system such as a camera and a lens, and an analysis system such as a light receiving element and an image processor. The photographing unit 240 photographs the skin contact surface to acquire image data, performs image processing (for example, generation of characteristic information indicating skin color and state, etc.) as necessary, and outputs a result of the image processing. . Note that the function of the imaging unit 240 may be omitted.

The skin contact surface is the front of the housing 210 and comes into contact with the user's skin surface during hair removal processing. The surface of the skin contact surface is desirably coated with glass, plastic, or the like so that it can move smoothly on the skin surface of the user.

The opening 210b is provided from the skin contact surface toward the inside of the housing 210, has a substantially rectangular shape, and guides light emitted from the xenon tube 212 from the opening 210b to the skin. The long side of the opening 210b extends along the direction of the rotation axis of the main roller 220 that is rotatably provided with a part exposed from the first surface. The short side of the opening 210b is along the direction in which the main roller 220 rotates (the moving direction of the irradiation head 20).

The touch sensor 210d is a portion of the skin contact surface around the opening 210b. The touch sensor unit 210d includes, for example, a capacitive touch sensor. The capacitance type touch sensor may be either a surface type or a projection type. The touch sensor is electrically connected to the control board 130. The touch sensor unit 210d may be provided with a touch sensor of a resistance film type, a surface acoustic wave type, an infrared type, or an electromagnetic induction type instead of the capacitance type. In addition, the touch sensor unit 210d can include an illuminance sensor that detects illuminance in the opening 210b. The illuminance sensor detects the illuminance in the opening 210b that changes when the opening 210b is closed by the user's skin, for example. Based on the detected illuminance, it can be detected whether or not the user's skin surface is in contact with the touch sensor unit 210d.

(4) When the user's skin touches the touch sensor unit 210d, a change in current or voltage occurs between the touch sensor and the control board 130. The control board 130 detects this current or voltage to detect whether the irradiation head is in contact with the user's skin surface.

風 The ventilation hole 210 e penetrates from the front surface to the rear surface of the housing 210. The air flowing in from the ventilation holes 210e cools the xenon pipe 212. The air that has flowed from the ventilation holes 210e flows into the apparatus main body 30.

The xenon tube 212 is disposed in the opening 210b. The transmission glass 214 is fitted into the opening 210b. Therefore, the area on the skin to be irradiated with light has a substantially rectangular shape, and the size of the area substantially matches the size of the opening 210b. The transmission glass 214 cuts off the ultraviolet light included in the light of the xenon tube 212.

The auxiliary roller 290 is an elongated barrel-shaped roller having a smaller diameter at both ends than at the center. Rotate as The rotation of the auxiliary roller 290 allows the irradiation head 20 to move smoothly on the skin contact surface. Note that the shape of the auxiliary roller 290 is not limited to the barrel shape, and may be a cylinder.

In a preferred embodiment, any device that stabilizes the movement in a specific direction (in this example, the vertical direction on the paper) may be used. Note that the rotation axis of the auxiliary roller 290 is preferably the same as the rotation axis of the main roller 220. That is, the rotation axis of the auxiliary roller 290 is preferably provided in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the opening 210b. In a preferred embodiment, the auxiliary roller 290 is smooth without being subjected to unevenness processing or the like. Accordingly, when the user moves the irradiation head 20 in contact with the skin, it is easy to change the moving direction.

メイン As shown in FIG. 3, the main roller 220 is provided on the opposite side of the auxiliary roller 290 across the opening 210b. The main roller 220 has a central portion 226-3 fixed to the housing 210, and a left roller 226-1 and a right roller 226-2 arranged on both sides thereof. It is preferable that the surfaces of the left roller 226-1 and the right roller 226-2 are subjected to non-slip processing.

At least a part of the main roller 220 is in contact with the skin, and the diameter of the central roller differs from that of the end. More specifically, the diameter gradually increases toward the outside of the center on the rotation axis. As a result, the straight running stability is increased.

The shapes and arrangement of the main roller 220 and the auxiliary roller 290 are only examples. In short, operability is improved because two rollers having different functions and roles can come into contact with the skin. A sensor (not shown) for detecting the rotation state of the rotation shaft of the main roller 220 is embedded in 210.

FIG. 4 shows functions of the mobile terminal 300 and the beauty device 100. The beauty device 100 includes an operation detection unit 110, a control unit 120, an irradiation unit 150, and a communication unit 140. Note that, in FIG. 3, functional units and the like corresponding to the imaging unit 240 that are not directly related to the specification of the irradiation area are omitted.
The operation detecting unit 110 detects a movement amount (a relative change in position) of the irradiation head 20 in a predetermined direction (for example, a rotation direction of the main roller 220), or detects an absolute position or position of the irradiation head 20 in an arbitrary direction. It is realized as a magnetic sensor or an acceleration sensor that detects a change, and detects the movement of the irradiation head 20. The operation detection unit 110 may include a sensor that can detect the movement of the irradiation head 20 in at least one or more directions.

In addition, the operation detecting unit 110 is realized as a touch sensor unit 210d, and determines whether the irradiation head 20 is in contact with the skin. The fact that the irradiation head 20 is moving while being in contact with the skin means that the user is performing a treatment. When the irradiation head 20 comes into contact with the skin, it can be estimated that the user has started the treatment or has resumed the treatment that was interrupted. Conversely, when the irradiation head 20 that has been in contact with the skin has separated from the skin, it can be estimated that the user has finished or temporarily stopped the treatment. The information on the movement of the irradiation head 20 and the information on the contact state, which reflect the operation of the beauty device 100 by the user, are supplied to the control unit 120.
As described later, since it is estimated that the user moves the beauty device 100 according to the guidance displayed on the mobile terminal 300, the motion detection unit 110 determines the position where the user starts or ends (or interrupts) the treatment and the timing thereof. It can be said that the information for specifying is generated.

The control unit 120 is a processor, and supplies a control signal to the irradiation unit 150 based on the information on the movement of the irradiation head 20 supplied from the operation detection unit 110. For example, each time it is detected that the irradiation head 20 has moved by a predetermined distance, a light emission execution command is supplied from the control unit 120 to the irradiation unit 150. It should be noted that the control signal may include information indicating the light emission intensity based on the color of the skin imaged by the imaging unit 240.
The control unit 120 sequentially transmits information on the movement of the irradiation head 20 to the mobile terminal 300 via the communication unit 140. The information transmitted to the mobile terminal 300 may include information indicating that light emission has been performed.

The irradiation unit 150 is a light source or a light emitting mechanism such as a xenon tube, and irradiates a light pulse having a frequency and intensity suitable for hair removal under the control of the control unit 120.

The communication unit 140 is an interface for exchanging information with the communication unit 310 according to a wireless communication standard such as IEEE or Bluetooth (registered trademark).

The mobile terminal 300 includes a communication unit 310, a control unit 320, an input unit 330, a storage unit 340, a display unit 350, and a notification unit 360. The mobile terminal 300 is a device used by the user, for example, a smartphone. The mobile terminal 300 has a general-purpose information processing function and a function regarding cooperation with the beauty device 100. Hereinafter, a description will be given focusing on functions related to cooperation with the beauty device 100.

The communication unit 310 is a communication interface for exchanging information with the communication unit 310 in accordance with a wireless communication standard such as IEEE or Bluetooth (registered trademark).

The control unit 320 is a general-purpose or special-purpose processor, and controls each unit of the mobile terminal 300 to execute an application program for realizing a function described later. Specifically, based on the information supplied from the beauty device 100, the content of the drawing on the display unit 350 is determined, and a drawing command based on the determined content of the drawing is supplied to the display unit 350. The information provided from the beauty device 100 includes at least information on the movement of the irradiation head 20, and further includes information on whether the skin is in contact with the irradiation head 20 and information on whether light emission has been performed. It may be.

More specifically, the control unit 320 includes a determination unit 321 and a setting unit 322 as functional modules. The setting unit 322 sets a plurality of regions for a portion to be irradiated. Each region is preferably set in accordance with the size of the irradiation window (opening 210b) and the size (length, thickness, etc.) of the part to be irradiated (for example, the right forearm). As an example, the size of each region is set to be substantially the same size and size as the opening 210b. Each region is, for example, a coordinate system using one point in the target region as a reference point (for example, the tip of an arm) and a representative point (for example, a center point) inside the region and a short side and a long side of the region. Defined by length.
If the beauty device 100 has a function of changing the irradiation region by a user operation or automatically, each region may be set to a shape and size corresponding to the changed irradiation region. Further, the plurality of regions constituting one irradiation target site need not all have the same shape and the same size.

The determination unit 321 determines whether irradiation has been performed for each region set by the setting unit 322. Specifically, one area including the position of the skin that the irradiation head 20 is in contact with when the light emission is performed is specified, and it is determined that the specified area has been irradiated. That is, it is considered that irradiation has been performed in this area. Preferably, for each region, a determination is made as to whether irradiation has been performed a plurality of times.

In addition, the control unit 320 reads information on the usage status of the beauty device 100 from the storage unit 340, or determines whether notification is necessary based on information on the movement of the irradiation head 20 in the determination unit 321. Accordingly, information to be notified is output to notification unit 360 together with a notification execution instruction.

The input unit 330 is a touch panel or the like, and a user inputs information and a command.

The display unit 350 is a liquid crystal display, and displays an area of the skin on which the irradiation has been performed under the instruction of the control unit 320. Preferably, a region where irradiation has been performed and a region where irradiation has not been performed are displayed separately. More preferably, a display corresponding to the number of irradiations is performed.

The notification unit 360 is realized as an image display device such as a liquid crystal display shared with the display unit 350, an audio output device such as a speaker, a vibration device such as a vibrator, or a light emitting device such as an LED, and under the control of the control unit 320. When the moving speed of the irradiation head 20 is out of the predetermined range, the notification is performed by the image, the sound, the vibration, the light, and the like.
Here, since there is a physical restriction on the light emission interval, if the moving speed of the irradiation head 20 is too fast, even if the skin surface is continuously moved, a region (irregularity) that is not irradiated is eventually generated. . Therefore, the notifying unit 360 displays a message such as "Move too quickly, please move slowly" on the screen or notify by sound or light.

On the other hand, if the moving speed of the irradiation head 20 is too slow, the problem of unevenness does not occur, but it is not preferable in that the treatment is wasted time. Therefore, in this case, a guidance message such as "let's move a little more smoothly" is displayed.
The display of these messages is preferably performed at each time when it is detected that the speed deviates from the predetermined range.

(4) In addition, the notification unit 360 issues a notification prompting use of the beauty device 100 according to the frequency of use of the beauty device 100 for each user. This notification is displayed, for example, on the screen displayed first after the application is activated on the mobile terminal 300.

Alternatively, the notification unit 360 replaces the consumables based on the service life of the consumables (xenon tube or the like) stored in the display unit 350 in advance and the use results (the number of times, the total use time, etc.) of the beauty device 100. May be notified.

The storage unit 340 is a semiconductor memory or the like, and stores a region irradiated by the beauty device 100 and a timing at which the irradiation is performed. A database DB1 and a database DB2 in which information referred to by the application program is described, as well as an application program for realizing functions to be described later on the mobile terminal 300, are stored. In addition, information necessary for defining an area and displaying an irradiation state, such as image data of each part, information on the size of the opening 210b, and control contents of the beauty device 100, is stored.

FIG. 5 shows an example of information stored in the database DB1. The database DB1 stores physical information, parts, and schedule information in association with a user ID for identifying each user.
The physical information includes a data item of a part, a measurement item, and a value, and each item indicates a part of the body to be measured, an item characterizing the shape and size of the part, and a value of each item. The entire region of one part (for example, the right forearm) is specified by the physical information.
Here, the region does not necessarily correspond to the name of the body region, and the user can define an arbitrary region on the skin surface as a region (for example, near the center of the front of the right thigh). In addition, the user may input a separately acquired numerical value, or the measurement may be performed using the sensor function of the beauty device 100 as described later. Alternatively, a default value (for example, an average value of an adult woman or the like) may be stored and applied when the area is determined.
The schedule information indicates the timing at which the beauty device 100 should be used. The schedule is defined as a scheduled use date and frequency. The schedule information can be arbitrarily formulated and modified by the user. The schedule information may be determined in advance for each part.

FIG. 6 shows an example of information stored in the database DB2. Each time one treatment using the beauty device 100 is performed, one record is generated. Each record is associated with the user ID of the user who has used the beauty device 100, the timing at which the user has been used (use start time, use end time, use period, etc.), the part to be treated, and the detailed status of use. Have been. Information indicating a detailed situation of use is generated by the control unit 320. For example, the control unit 320 may perform a predetermined reference (e.g., all regions of the target site are irradiated without any excess or deficiency, a treatment is performed on the target site, but there is a region where the irradiation is excessive or deficient). The detailed situation of use is defined based on whether or not the treatment has not been performed.

FIG. 7 is an operation example of the support system 10. The user performs a predetermined operation to wirelessly connect the beauty device 100 and the portable terminal 300 (S501). Then, when the application program is started, login is performed, and the user who intends to use the beauty device 100 is recognized by the mobile terminal 300, a screen as shown in FIG. 8 is first displayed on the mobile terminal 300. On this screen, in addition to the logged-in user and the connection state with the beauty device 100, information (object OB2) generated based on the schedule information of the database DB1 related to this user and the use timing of the beauty device 100 are displayed. Information (object OB1) is displayed.
Further, the user can measure and register physical information by selecting the object OB3A on this screen.

FIG. 9 is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 350 after the object OB3A is selected. In this example, the user specifies the right forearm as the irradiation target area. In addition to the image imitating the right forearm of the user, a guidance message for prompting measurement at three predetermined measurement points on the right forearm is displayed (object OB4). The user places the portable terminal 300 on a desk or the like, and performs measurement using the beauty device 100 according to the guidance. The determination unit 321 determines each size based on the information on the moving distance measured by the motion detection unit 110. The determined sizes are written to the database DB1.

When the measurement is completed, the determination unit 321 divides the right forearm into a plurality of regions based on the size of the entire part (right forearm) and the information on the size of the opening 210b stored in the storage unit 340. . As a result, an image as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the display unit 350.
That is, images indicating the plurality of regions R set in the irradiation target site are displayed so as to overlap the image of the irradiation target site (object OB5). In the figure, for convenience of explanation, the regions are expressed as two-dimensional regions, but each region may be defined as a three-dimensional region (curved surface) on the skin surface. In this case, it is preferable that the image has three-dimensional data of the shape of the forearm, and the image of the forearm corresponding to the viewpoint and angle specified by the user and the image of the corresponding area are displayed in a superimposed manner. If the irradiation target area can be considered to be substantially flat (for example, only one side of the forearm hand), it may be defined as a two-dimensional area.

In short, the display is performed so that the user can grasp the positional relationship of the irradiation target in each region set as the minimum unit for determining whether or not irradiation has been performed with respect to the entire irradiation target. I just want to.

Returning to FIG. 7, the user selects the object OB3B and displays a target part (hereinafter, referred to as a right forearm) and a screen shown in FIG. 11, and indicates a treatment start position (a position to which the irradiation head 20 is first applied). Instruct (object OB6). Thereafter, the mobile terminal 300 starts monitoring the movement of the beauty device 100 (S601). The user places the portable terminal 300 at a position such as on a desk where the user can view the screen while operating the beauty device 100, and places the irradiation head 20 at the start position according to the guidance shown in FIG. The irradiation head 20 is continuously moved so as to grip the device 100 and slide on the skin. The beauty device 100 emits light according to a predetermined light emission control algorithm (S602).

Specifically, one light emission is performed to detect movement of a predetermined distance. The predetermined distance is preferably the length of the opening 210b (corresponding to an area irradiated by one irradiation) along the moving direction of the irradiation head 20 (in this case, the length of the short side of the opening 210b) ).
When light emission is performed, a signal indicating that light emission has been performed and a position at the time of light emission (a position based on the treatment start position, or a position based on the last light emission when the light emission is performed for the second and subsequent times) Is transmitted to the portable terminal 300 (S603). The setting unit 322 specifies an area where irradiation has been performed based on the received position information (S604), and the display unit 350 updates the display based on the specified result (S605).
The control unit 320 determines whether the moving speed is within the allowable range based on the information acquired in S603 (S606), and issues a warning if not (S607).
Hereinafter, the operations of S602 to S607 are repeated.

FIG. 12 is an example displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 300 during the treatment (object OB7).
R1 indicates a region where irradiation has been performed once, R3 indicates a region where irradiation has been performed twice or more, and R2 indicates a region where irradiation has not been performed. The display modes of R1, R2, and R3 are different depending on, for example, the color and the presence / absence of blinking so that the difference in the irradiation status can be seen at a glance.
While looking at the screen, the user initially intends to irradiate each area once, whereas the user did not perform an appropriate operation, so that the area where the irradiation head 20 did not pass or the same location was erroneously detected. The area irradiated more than once can be easily confirmed. The user can operate the beauty device 100 while looking at the screen of the mobile terminal 300 to perform the treatment again only for R2.

In this case, if the irradiation head 20 is moved to a target area while being in contact with the skin, irradiation may be performed at an unintended location until reaching the area. Then, the user performs an operation of re-applying to the target area. In this case, when the beauty device 100 includes a unit that measures a position irrespective of the contact state, such as a three-dimensional acceleration sensor, the region where the contact again belongs to any region based on the measured position information. Can be specified. If the information on the specified position is transmitted to the portable terminal 300, the portable terminal 300 does not lose track of the position of the beauty device 100 during the treatment.

When the beauty device 100 determines that the treatment has been completed by a user's power-off operation or the like or when the contact is not detected for a certain period (S701), a signal indicating the end is transmitted to the portable terminal 300 (S702). . Upon receiving this signal, the mobile terminal 300 generates a usage history including the usage status of the treatment (the presence / absence of irradiation fact for each target region and region) and updates the database DB2 (S703).

According to the above embodiment, of the treatment target site set by the user, the irradiated area is reflected in the display content in real time, so that the user can perform a treatment while looking at the screen as appropriate, and visually confirm. The situation of difficult irradiation can be grasped. Specifically, it is possible to confirm a region where irradiation is excessive, a region where irradiation is insufficient, and uniformity (irregularity) of irradiation. In addition, the user can be alerted in real time about handling.
As a result, the user can understand whether or not his or her treatment (the handling operation of the beauty device 100) is appropriate, and is assisted so that the treatment can be added or redone as necessary.
<Modification>

It is not necessary to transmit the fact that light is emitted from the beauty device 100 to the portable terminal 300. For example, the beauty device 100 is controlled to emit light every predetermined distance (e.g., corresponding to the length of the short side of the opening 210b parallel to the direction assumed as the main movement direction), and the control is performed. Is stored in the storage unit 340, the beauty device 100 transmits only the position or motion information at a predetermined sampling interval. The mobile terminal 300 is considered to emit light when it has moved by the predetermined distance. Here, if the moving speed of the user is too fast, a shift may occur between the moved distance and the actual (light emission timing) irradiation area. May be considered to have been emitted at the shortest irradiation interval.
In short, if the content of the irradiation control in the beauty device 100 is acquired in advance in the mobile terminal 300, the region where the irradiation is performed is estimated only by acquiring at least the information on the position of the irradiation head 20 or a change in the position. can do.

Presentation of irradiation status need not be in real time. For example, the trajectory of the irradiation head 20 from the start to the end of the operation for a certain target part may be stored, and the execution status of the irradiation for each region may be displayed at the end of the treatment. In other words, the timing of checking whether the user is operating the beauty device 100 appropriately is arbitrary.

An image (object OB8) shown in FIG. 13 may be displayed instead of FIG. That is, it guides not only the operation position but also the moving path (the order of passing through the area). For example, the beauty device 100 is effective when there are only a contact sensor and a sensor that can detect only the amount of movement in one direction, and the irradiation head 20 can only move substantially linearly. In the case of such a beauty device, it is assumed that the user repeatedly moves the beauty device 100 in the horizontal direction in the same figure, temporarily separates the beauty device 100 from the skin, applies the device to a different position, and moves the beauty device 100 again in the horizontal direction.
Therefore, such an operation is guided by screen display. If the user operates as instructed, even if the beauty device 100 is not provided with a three-dimensional acceleration sensor or the like, information on the presence or absence of contact of the irradiation head 20 with the skin and the distance the irradiation head 20 has moved at the time of contact Is provided to the portable terminal 300, it is possible to specify the area of the portable terminal 300 where the irradiation was performed.

In the above embodiment, it is assumed that the user operates the beauty device 100 according to the guidance on the screen. However, the position of the irradiation head 20 at the start of the treatment or during the treatment may be directly specified. For example, using the function of the imaging unit 240, a target part to be treated is three-dimensionally imaged in advance, and information characterizing the imaging target, such as skin color and pore density, and information indicating its position (for example, When the target part is the forearm, the target part is defined as a position on three-dimensional coordinates with the center coordinate of the ulnar styloid process as the origin). Then, the motion detection unit 110 analyzes the image photographed by the photographing unit 240, extracts feature information, and determines a position based on the feature information. In this way, even if the user performs an operation without following the guidance on the screen, the position of the irradiation head 20 in the target region can be reliably grasped.

In short, in the terminal according to the present invention, the step of receiving information on the movement of the optical epilator from the optical epilator and the step of displaying the area of the skin irradiated by the optical epilator may be performed.
