To make the aforementioned more comprehensible, several embodiments accompanied with drawings are described in detail as follows.
The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the disclosure, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate exemplary embodiments of the disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.
The screen 110 displays a current image and various types of information provided by the electronic makeup mirror device 100. In an embodiment of the disclosure, the screen 110 is a combination of a mirror and a display. The mirror is formed of a material (for example, a mirror) having high reflective index for displaying the current image, such as the user's image and the background image thereof, through light refraction. The display s disposed behind the mirror for displaying various information. For example, the display may be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, or a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) or the like, the disclosure is not limited thereto. In an embodiment of the disclosure, the display may also be various types of touch display, such as a capacitive touch display, a resistive touch display, and the like. Through the combination of the mirror and the display, the user can see himself/herself through the mirror and can also view various types of information.
The image capturing device 120 is for capturing an image. The image capturing device 120 is, for example, a video camera or a camera embedded in the electronic makeup mirror device 100, or a mobile phone, a camera, or the like that is externally connected to the electronic makeup mirror device. The disclosure is not limited thereto.
The storage device 130 stores essential program codes and data for the operation of the electronic makeup mirror device 100. In particular, the storage device 130 also stores a plurality of scripts and modules. The storage device 130 is, for example, any type of fixed or movable random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), a flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD) or the like or a combination of the above elements, the disclosure is not limited thereto.
It should be noted that the modules stored in the storage device 130 are, for example, a time prompting module, a skin test module, a product recommendation module, a makeup prompting module, a commute information acquiring module, an intelligence notifying module, a weather module, a music playback module, and a face detection module, script building module, and the like, the disclosure is not limited thereto.
The time prompting module is used to provide the current time of the system. In addition, the user may also set event reminders corresponding to a plurality of different event times through the time prompting module. The event reminder set by the user is, for example, a wake-up alarm at 7 am, a prompt to go out at 8 am, and the like, the disclosure is not limited thereto.
The skin test module is configured to analyze the current image captured by the image acquiring device 120 to provide skin condition test, skin age test, and the like. For example, the test result of the skin condition obtained through the skin test module is that the skin is dry and the dark circles are too obvious. In some cases, the skin test module may also provide a test result showing that the skin age is 25 years old.
The product recommendation module provides a corresponding product according to the skin test results analyzed by the skin test module. For example, in the foregoing example, the product recommendation module provides suitable lotions and creams as well as eye creams that remove dark circles to the user according to the result of dry skin. In some cases, the product recommendation module recommends a product suitable for 25-year-old skin to the user.
The makeup prompting module is configured to provide makeup guidance according to the user's image captured by the image capturing device 120, for example, providing a plurality of different makeup styles for the user to select, and displaying the suggested makeup contour and colors according to the makeup style selected by the user and the user's image. The disclosure provides no limitation to the implementation details of the makeup prompting module.
Further, the makeup prompting module recommends the most preferable makeup guidance according to the skin test results (especially, the skin condition test result) and the remaining time for going out obtained from the time prompting module, for example, when the user got up late and only 5 minutes are left for preparation, if the skin test result is that the most serious skin problem is dark circles, the most preferable makeup guidance suggests only dark circles be dealt with. In addition, the makeup prompting module has a learning arithmetic sub-module. Since not everyone spends the same time in doing makeup, the learning arithmetic sub-module records and learns the makeup time consumed by the user in each part every time the user does makeup, calculates the makeup time and converts into the time generally consumed for each part, and performs calculation with the remaining time for preparation obtained by the time prompting module, thereby acquiring the most preferable makeup guidance. For example, if the most serious skin problem of the user is dark circles, and the time spent by the user on makeup for the dark circles in five consecutive working days is: 2 minutes, 2 minutes and 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 1 minute and 50 seconds, and 2 minutes and 5 seconds, the makeup prompting module obtains that the makeup time spent by the user on dark circles is 2 minutes and 5 seconds in general according to the makeup time. Therefore, if the remaining time for preparation is 5 minutes, the makeup prompting module determines that the remaining time is enough for the user to apply makeup to the dark circles, and then provide the makeup guidance corresponding to dark circles according to the current image. In other embodiments of the disclosure, the makeup prompting module may further determine the makeup time generally spent by the user on a plurality of different parts, and further provide makeup guidance corresponding to the plurality of parts according to the remaining time, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.
It should be noticed that, in an embodiment of the disclosure, the method for obtaining the makeup time consumed by the user is, for example, the makeup prompting module provides the makeup guidance in sequence according to the parts, and therefore, the makeup prompting module records the time during which the makeup guidance for this part begins to be provided and switched to the next makeup guidance. In some cases, the makeup prompting module may analyze the time consumed by the user on each part through the image capturing device 120, the disclosure is not limited thereto.
The intelligence notifying module provides a variety of different types of prompts, such as dietary advice, health advice, sleep advice, latest news, etc. In addition, the intelligence notifying module provides corresponding advice based on the skin test results. The commute information acquiring module obtains corresponding traffic information according to the destination address specified by the user and the home address, or provides corresponding traffic information according to the transportation information set by the user. For example, if the user drives to work, the home address and the company address may be set in advance, and the commute information acquiring module can obtain traffic information from the home to the company, such as traffic flow, accidents, etc., and then estimate the traffic time and display it to the user. Alternatively, the user may set the number or time of the vehicle to be taken in advance, and the commute information acquiring module can display and provide it to the user and also acquire the corresponding news or time, for example, a delay notice. The music playback module is used to play various music. The weather module obtains corresponding weather information according to the current time of the system and provide it to the user.
It should be noticed that, other than providing makeup guidance for a plurality of parts according to the time for leaving, the above-mentioned makeup prompting module suggests another the most preferable makeup guidance according to the weather information acquired by the weather module, for example, when the weather module obtains weather information indicating that the UV level is too high or the air quality is not good today, the makeup prompting module provides makeup guidance suggesting using products that reinforce facial protection for blocking sunlight/dirty air. It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the disclosure, the most preferable makeup guidance may provide suggestions according to the information obtained from at least one of the time prompting module and the weather module. However, the makeup prompting module also records module weight parameters. Accordingly, when it is necessary to use the information of both the time prompting module and the weather module, the makeup prompting module may be adjusted according to the module weight parameter. For example, if the remaining time provided by the time prompting module is only enough for the user to deal with the dark circles, however, according to the weather information, the makeup prompting module determines that it is important to do facial protection for blocking sunlight/dirty air, on this occasion, the makeup prompting module may provide a corresponding makeup guidance according to the module weight parameter set by the user in advance. For example, in the module weight parameters, the weight of the time prompting module is higher than the weight of the weather information module. Therefore, the makeup prompting module prioritizes the remaining time information of the time prompting module higher to provide the makeup guidance, that is, only dealing with the dark circles.
The face detection module is used to detect whether the user is within the detection range. For example, when the time prompting module is prompting the user to wake up, if the face detection module detects the user's face, it means that the user has already gotten up. On this occasion, the time prompting module may turn off the wake-up reminder according to the detection result of the face detection module. Or, when the time prompting module is prompting the user to go out, if the face detection module does not detect the user's face within a preset time (for example, 2 minutes), it represents that the user has left the house. On this occasion, the time prompting module may turn off the go-out reminder according to the detection result of the face detection module. However, if the face detection module detects the user's face after the time of the go-out reminder, the time prompting module continues to send the go-out reminder according to the detection result of the face detection module to urge the user to go out quickly. Or, in an embodiment of the disclosure, the condition for stopping the operation of the script is that when the face detection module does not detect the user's face within a preset time, it represents that the user has left the house, and the processor 140 stops operation of the script.
The script building module is used to provide a function of building scripts to allow the user to select a module and set a call sequence to generate call sequence parameters. The user may also enter module setting parameters through the script building module.
In addition, each script has a preset situation mode, such as work, dates, holidays, travel, and so on. In these scripts, a call sequence parameter corresponding to a selected module of the plurality of modules and a module setting parameter corresponding to each of the selected modules are stored. The call sequence parameters are the order of calling the corresponding modules. For example, in the script for going to work, the call sequence parameters are, for example, sequence 1, time prompting module and music playback module; sequence 2, intelligence notifying module, commute information acquiring module, skin test module, makeup prompting module, product recommendation module; sequence 3, time prompting module. As such, when this script is operated, the modules of sequence 1, sequence 2, and sequence 3 are run sequentially. Alternatively, the call sequence parameter may be time prompting module and music playback module at 6 am; intelligence notifying module, skin test module, commute information acquiring module, makeup prompting module, and the product recommendation module at 6:10 am; time prompting module at 7:25 am, that is, the call sequence parameters may be specifically set as an exact time for operation.
The module setting parameters are the parameters used by the module when the executed modules are recorded. According to the above case, in the script for going to work, the module setting parameters are, for example, sequence 1, the time prompting module is a wake-up reminder at 6 am, and the music playback module is playing a playlist created by the user; sequence 2, the intelligence notifying module randomly provides dietary information and health information at 6:10 am, the skin test module prompts the user to test skin, the commute information acquiring module displays commute information from home to company, the makeup prompting module is makeup parameter for work style, and the product recommendation module looks for and displays the recommended products corresponding to the user's skin condition; sequence 3, the time prompting module is a go-out reminder at 7:25 am.
The processor 140 performs various types of calculation when the electronic makeup mirror device 100 is in operation. In particular, the processor 140 also executes the aforementioned modules in accordance with a script. For example, the processor 140 displays on the screen 110 that analysis and calculations are made based on the image acquired by the image capturing device 120. The processor 140 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic device (PLD), or the like.
In step S210, the processor 140 receives selecting operation to select an enabled script among the plurality of scripts stored by the storage device 130. In the description below, the enabled script is a script selected by the user and run by the processor 140, that is, the processor 140 only runs the enabled script, and the rest of the scripts are only stored in the storage device 130. In the disclosure, if the electronic makeup mirror device 100 is provided with a touch screen, the user may select an enabled script to be operated among a plurality of scripts through the touch screen. Alternatively, the user may also connect a Bluetooth or wireless network of a personal terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone) to the electronic makeup mirror device 100 to send a selected operation to the electronic makeup mirror device 100.
In step S220, the processor 140 performs an operation corresponding to the selected modules according to the call sequence parameters and the module setting parameters of the enabled script.
The previous script for working day is described for exemplary purpose. When the script for working day is run, firstly, the processor 140 sets and performs the operation corresponding to the time prompting module according to the module setting parameter, that is, the wake-up reminder is sent by the time prompting module at 6 am. Moreover, the processor 140 calls the music playback module to play the playlist created by the user.
Next, the processor 140 calls the intelligence notifying module and randomly provides dietary information and health information, the skin test module prompts the user to perform skin test, the commute information acquiring module acquires the commute information from home to company, the makeup prompting module obtains the makeup parameters for work style, and the product recommendation module obtains recommended products for corresponding skin condition.
The processor 140 sends a go-out reminder through the time prompting module at 7:25 am.
In step S230, the processor 140 displays a result image through the screen 110 in response to the operation result of the operation. The result image has a current image and an operation result, thereby displaying various types of information while the user is looking in the mirror.
For example,
In addition to the above, for the facial image of the user, the processor 140 integrates the makeup parameters acquired by the makeup prompting module and the facial image of the user, thereby displaying a makeup guidance 420 on the facial image.
Referring to
It should be indicated that in the embodiment of the disclosure, the same module provides different information under scripts of different situation. In general, the time for preparation is not much before going to work, so the processor 140 sets the script for working day to be simplified and brief Accordingly, when executing the various modules, the processor 140 may control the various modules to execute a simplified mode to perform simple measurements and analysis and generate short comments. In the script for time off work, the processor 140 controls various modules to perform a complete mode to generate a complete analysis, a comment or a reminder. In an embodiment of the disclosure, the processor 140 automatically presets the brief/complete mode parameters of the modules according to the situation. However, the user may further manually adjust the brief/complete mode parameters, the disclosure is not limited thereto.
Referring to
In step S710, the processor 140 receives a script editing command to open a script editing page of the electronic makeup mirror device 100. As described above, in the disclosure, if the electronic makeup mirror device 100 is provided with a touch screen, the user may select an enabled script to be operated among a plurality of scripts through the touch screen. Alternatively, the user may connect Bluetooth or wireless network of a personal terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone) to the electronic makeup mirror device 100 to send a selecting operation to the electronic makeup mirror device 100.
In step S720, the processor 140 receives a script parameter setting command. At this time, the processor 140 calls the script editing module and provides various script basic parameters as well as script function parameters for the user to select and set. The script basic parameters are parameters used by the electronic makeup mirror device 100 when the script is run, for example, setting parameters such as a background image of the script, a wake-up phrase, a simplified or a complete mode. The script function parameter is an action performed by the electronic makeup mirror device 100 when the script is run, for example, the aforementioned module and the functions provided thereby. In this manner, the user may set the functions and information provided by the script. The processor 140 further generates corresponding call sequence parameters and module setting parameters according to the setting function edited by the user.
In step S730, the processor 140 stores the script parameter setting command in the storage device 130 of the electronic makeup mirror device 100. In step S740, the processor 140 receives the selecting operation. It should be noted that the step that the processor 140 receives the selecting operation may be combined in step S720, that is, when the processor 140 receives the script editing command, the selecting operation is also received such that the script can be run directly after the user edits the script. Alternatively, the user may also send the selecting operation after storing the script editing command. In other words, the disclosure provides no limitation to the time at which the user selects a script.
In step S750, the processor 140 determines whether the current condition satisfies the triggering condition of the enabled script. Specifically, in the disclosure, the user may set the triggering condition of the script. For example, the triggering condition may be set to run repeatedly during the week. Accordingly, the processor 140 determines that it is weekday on Monday, and therefore executes the script. Alternatively, if the triggering condition set by the user is immediate execution, the processor 140 executes the script immediately after receiving the selecting operation. It should be noted that if the processor 140 does not receive the triggering command of the script and the current condition does not satisfy any triggering conditions for enabling the script, the processor 140 continues to maintain the state of operation of the electronic makeup or device 100.
In steps S760 to S780, the processor 140 performs the operations of the sequence 1 to the sequence 3, respectively, and displays the result image through the screen 110 in response to the operation result of the operation. It should be noted that the sequence 1 to the sequence 3 are steps generated according to the script for the foregoing working day. In the actual operation of the electronic makeup minor device, steps S760 to S780 may be further adjusted into different number according to the number of actual sequences set by the user. The disclosure is not limited thereto.
Step S760 is described for exemplary purpose. In this step, the processor 140 calls the module of sequence 1 according to the call sequence parameter and the module setting parameter of the enabled script, and performs the operation corresponding to the selected modules. For example, the processor 140 sends a wake-up reminder and plays music at 6 am according to the call sequence parameters and the module setting parameters. Steps S770 to S780 are similar to step S760, and thus are not repeated herein.
In step S790, the processor 140 makes the electronic makeup mirror device 100 to return to the state before execution of the script.
In order to make the disclosure clear and easily comprehensible, the image and details of creating script according to an embodiment of the disclosure are described below with reference to
The script 820 that has not been enabled is a script that is preset or call sequence parameters and module setting parameters of corresponding module created by the user, but is neither enabled nor designated to be executed at a specific time.
Upon receiving a click operation of any of the scripts, the processor 140 enables the script editing module to provide a script editing image for the user to edit. In addition, the electronic makeup mirror device 100 provides an icon 830 simultaneously. When the icon 830 is clicked on, the processor 140 enables the script editing module to allow the user to create a new script.
In field 940, the user may further set the wake-up phrase parameters. In the embodiment, the wake-up phrase parameter is “Good Morning, HiMirror”, that is, when the electronic makeup mirror device 100 detects, through configuration of microphone, that the user has said the phrase “Good Morning, HiMirror” corresponding to the wake-up phrase parameter, the script for working day is triggered, i.e., the processor 140 enables the script for working day.
In field 950, the user may specify the time for enabling script and whether execution is repeated. For example, a script for working day is executed repeatedly on working days.
In addition, the user may further click on the icon 955 to add other parameters, such as setting a background picture, setting a ring tone of call, and the like.
Referring to
In this embodiment, the processor 140 executes the corresponding modules according to the order of the fields 960a-960c. In other words, the order of the fields 960a-960c affects the call sequence parameters generated by the processor 140. The processor 140 generates module setting parameters according to the information set by the user in the fields 960a-960c, for example, the music playlist is the one named “time to get up”, the destination is company, and the like. However, the information and parameters of the embodiment are merely illustrative, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.
In this embodiment, the method of stopping operation of the script is to detect that the user has left the house through the face detection module, and then it is determined to stop operating the script. However, in other embodiments, the operation of the script may be stopped according to time or other means, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.
In addition, the electronic makeup mirror device 100 may also provide other different script basic parameters to allow the user to do customized settings. For example, different scripts may adopt different background pictures depending on the user's choice. Further, there are simplified/complete mode parameters in the script function parameters to allow the user to designate whether each module is executed in complete mode or simplified mode. It should be noted that the disclosure provides no limitation to the foregoing disclosed modules, parameters, images, operation interfaces (e.g., fields, icons, etc.), and any modules, parameters, images, operation interfaces in the electronic makeup mirror device that can be operated and assist the user in terms of reminding, doing makeup, looking beautiful, and the like to achieve a better quality of life may be applied to the disclosure.
In summary, the electronic makeup mirror device and the script operation method of the disclosure allow the user to set scripts corresponding to different circumstances by establishing scripts. In this manner, the electronic makeup mirror device prompts the user to perform the makeup and skin care process according to the script and displays various types of information to the user, so that the user can gradually complete various steps without being in a hurry. Additionally, the electronic makeup mirror device and the script operation method also provide various services, such as skin test, product recommendation or makeup guidance, according to the needs set by the user. In some cases, various types of information, e.g., traffic condition, is provided according to the needs set by user. Meanwhile, the electronic minor device is equipped with the function of time prompt. As such, there is no need for the user to keep thinking and look up what is the next step, what product and cosmetic are required, how much time is left, the traffic condition and so on. Therefore, the user may focus on completing the makeup and skin care process with the time that is saved. As such, the electronic makeup minor device and the script operation method of the disclosure allow the user to keep the pace of life while staying beautiful.
