Abstract

This disclosure relates to a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus, a control method thereof, and a cosmetic manufacturing system. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus including: a control unit for calculating a first composition ratio based on the user's skin condition measured by a measurement sensor, receiving cosmetic purchase history of the user from an operating server, and calculating a second composition ratio by modifying the first composition ratio with a preset algorithm based on the purchase history; and a cosmetic material supply unit which discharges cosmetic materials according to one of the first composition ratio or the second composition ratio, so that a cosmetic is manufactured according to the one of the first composition ratio or the second composition ratio.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A cosmetic manufacturing apparatus comprising:
a control unit for calculating a first composition ratio based on the user's skin condition measured by a measurement sensor, receiving cosmetic purchase history of the user from an operating server, and calculating a second composition ratio by modifying the first composition ratio with a preset algorithm based on the purchase history; and a cosmetic material supply unit which discharges cosmetic materials according to one of the first composition ratio or the second composition ratio, so that a cosmetic is manufactured according to the one of the first composition ratio or the second composition ratio.

2 . The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a user interface unit which displays at least one of the first composition ratio and the second composition ratio, and receives as an input one of the first composition ratio, the second composition ratio, and a third composition ratio which is one of the first composition ratio and the second composition ratio that modification has been applied to, wherein the cosmetic material supply unit discharges cosmetic materials according to the received one of the input first composition ratio to the third composition ratio, so that a cosmetic is manufactured according to the received one composition ratio.

3 . The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein by the control unit, the first composition ratio may be determined by inputting the skin measurement values measured by the measurement sensor as a variable into a preset calculation formula, or a composition ratio corresponding to the preset values in the product database which have the smallest difference between themselves and the skin measurement values measured by the measurement sensor may be determined as the first composition ratio.

4 . The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the product database stores L1, a1, and b1 values, and composition ratios corresponding to these values,
wherein the skin measurement values are measured as arbitrary values L2, a2, b2 by the measurement sensor, and wherein a composition ratio corresponding to the values stored in the product database having the smallest value of √{square root over ((L1−L2) 2 +(a1−a2) 2 +(b1−b2) 2 )} may be set as the first composition ratio.

5 . The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the skin measurement values measured by the measurement sensor are represented by L2, a2, and b2, and
when the cosmetic purchase history which are represented as L3, a3, and b3 is received from the operating server, by the control unit, the skin measurement values are modified to measurement modification values, (P*L3+L2)/(P+1), (P*a3+a2)/(P+1), and (P*b3+b2)/(P+1), and the second composition ratio may be determined to be a composition ratio corresponding to the preset values preset in the product database having the smallest difference between themselves and the measurement modification values.

6 . The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first composition ratio is represented by a composition ratio X1:Y1:Z1:K1 for arbitrary cosmetic materials, and
when receiving a purchase history of a cosmetic having composition ratio X2:Y2:Z2:K2 for arbitrary cosmetic materials from the operating server, by the control unit, the second composition ratio is set to (P*X1+X2)/(P+1):(P*Y1+Y2)/(P+1):(P*Z1+Z2)/(P+1):(P*K1+K2)/(P+1).

7 . The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein P is a natural number between 1 and 10 that is input by a user from the user interface unit or the terminal.

8 . The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the user interface unit is provided with an input unit for selecting whether a cosmetic to be manufactured is of a sample manufacturing mode in which the cosmetic to be manufactured is provided as a sample, or of a finished product manufacturing mode in which the cosmetic to be manufactured is provided as a finished product.

9 . The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the user interface unit is provided with an input unit for selecting whether a cosmetic to be manufactured is a foundation product or a skin care product.

10 . A cosmetic manufacturing system comprising:
a measurement sensor for measuring user's skin condition; an operating server which stores cosmetic purchase history of a user, calculating a first composition ratio based on the skin condition of the user measured by the measurement sensor, and calculating a second composition ratio by modifying the first composition ratio with a preset algorithm based on the purchase history; a terminal for receiving as an input one of the second composition ratio or a third composition ratio which is one of the first composition ratio and the second composition ratio that modification has been applied to; and a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus which discharges cosmetic materials according to the received one of the first to third composition ratios, so that a cosmetic is manufactured according to the received one composition ratio.

11 . The cosmetic manufacturing system of claim 10 , wherein by the operating server,
the first composition ratio may be determined by inputting the skin measurement values measured by the measurement sensor as a variable into a preset calculation formula, or a composition ratio corresponding to the preset values in the product database which has the smallest difference between themselves and the skin measurement values measured by the measurement sensor may be determined as the first composition ratio.

12 . A cosmetic manufacturing system, comprising:
an operating server which stores one of a first composition ratio calculated based on the user's skin condition measured by the measurement sensor and a second composition ratio obtained by modifying the first composition ratio with a preset algorithm; a terminal for receiving and displaying at least one of the first composition ratio and the second composition ratio from the operating server; and a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus which receives as an input one of the first composition ratio, the second composition ratio, and a third composition ratio which is one of the first composition ratio and the second composition ratio that modification has been applied to, from the terminal, and manufactures a cosmetic according to the received composition ratio.

13 . A control method of a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus, the control method comprising: receiving skin condition measured by a measurement sensor;
calculating a first composition ratio based on the received skin condition by a control unit; receiving the cosmetic purchase history of the user from an operating server, and calculating a second composition ratio by modifying the first composition ratio with a preset algorithm based on the purchase history; discharging cosmetic materials according to the second composition ratio by controlling a cosmetic material supply unit by the control unit.

14 . The control method of a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 13 , further comprising:
after the discharging the cosmetic materials according to the second composition ratio by controlling the cosmetic material supply unit by the control unit, manufacturing a cosmetic according to the second composition ratio by controlling a conveying means by the control unit; when the manufactured cosmetic is manufactured in a sample manufacturing mode, receiving a fourth composition ratio obtained by modifying the composition ratio of the manufactured cosmetic; a
