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.

Claims (23)

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 and the second composition ratio, so that a cosmetic is manufactured according to the one of the first composition ratio and the second composition ratio,

wherein by the control unit, the first composition ratio is 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 is determined as the first composition ratio,

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 )} is set as the first 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 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.

4. 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.

5. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

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 is 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 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.

7. 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).

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