Abstract

A nail production system according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a first correction section and a first conversion section. The first correction section corrects shape data of an existing nail tip or an existing nail sticker on the basis of measurement data of a nail, to thereby generate shape data of an original nail tip or an original nail sticker. The first conversion section converts the shape data of the original nail tip or the original nail sticker that is generated by the first correction section into print data.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A nail production system comprising:
a first correction section that corrects shape data of an existing nail tip or an existing nail sticker on a basis of measurement data of a nail, to thereby generate shape data of an original nail tip or an original nail sticker;
a first conversion section that converts the shape data of the original nail tip or the original nail sticker that is generated by the first correction section into print data;
a second correction section that corrects data of a decorative design to be printed on a surface of the original nail tip or the original nail sticker on a basis of the measurement data of the nail, to thereby generate correction data of the decorative design;
a second generation section that converts the correction data of the decorative design that is generated by the second correction section into print data; and
an output section that selects one or a plurality of recommended decorative designs on a basis of measurement data of a skin to output information corresponding to the one or the plurality of recommended decorative designs that are selected.

2. The nail production system according to claim 1 , further comprising a first production section that produces the original nail tip by discharging resin on a basis of the print data derived from the first conversion section.

3. The nail production system according to claim 1 , further comprising a first production section that produces the original nail sticker by cutting or half-cutting a resin sticker on a basis of the print data derived from the first conversion section.

4. The nail production system according to claim 1 , further comprising a second production section that prints the decorative design on a surface of the original nail tip by discharging resin or ink on a basis of the print data derived from the second conversion section.

5. The nail production system according to claim 1 , further comprising a second production section that prints the decorative design on a surface of a resin sticker by discharging resin or ink on a basis of the print data derived from the second conversion section.

6. A nail production method, the method comprising:
correcting shape data of an existing nail tip or an existing nail sticker on a basis of measurement data of a nail, to thereby generate shape data of an original nail tip or an original nail sticker;
converting the shape data of the original nail tip or the original nail sticker that is generated by a first correction section into print data;
correcting data of a decorative design to be printed on a surface of the original nail tip or the original nail sticker on a basis of the measurement data of the nail, to thereby generate correction data of the decorative design;
converting the correction data of the decorative design that is generated by a second correction section into print data; and
selecting one or a plurality of recommended decorative designs on a basis of measurement data of a skin to output information corresponding to the one or the plurality of recommended decorative designs that are selected.
