This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2022-0190290, filed on Dec. 30, 2022, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to a scalp sensing device and a scalp analysis system including the same, and more particularly, to a small-sized, portable scalp sensing device that can simultaneously obtain a scalp image, an ultraviolet (UV)-induced fluorescence image, and scalp environment data and a scalp analysis system including the scalp sensing device.
“Alopecia” means loss of hair from where hair would normally be present and typically refers to loss of terminal hair on the scalp. Due to the negative impact of alopecia, alopecia has been recognized as a serious social problem. In recent years, the age group of people experiencing alopecia has gradually become younger, to people in their twenties or thirties. Also, the number of women with female pattern baldness has also sharply increased. Accordingly, the alopecia-related market is steadily growing.
Alopecia occurs over a long period of time. After a hair thinning process in which hair gets thinner and weaker, the anagen phase is shortened and hair in the telogen phase that prepares to shed increases. Then, due to follicular failure, a follicular dystrophy state in which a problem occurs in the supply of nutrients to hair occurs, which leads to a later stage of alopecia in which hair that has not grown to terminal hair falls out.
Therefore, early diagnosis and continuous monitoring are important, but in a conventional method of determining a scalp condition, a scalp condition of an individual is observed by visual inspection after the individual directly visits a hospital or clinic. In this case, there is an inconvenience that the individual has to directly visit a hospital or clinic to receive a consultation or diagnosis, and there is a limitation in that it is difficult to obtain objective measurement and determination results for the current state of alopecia.
Therefore, in addition to visual inspection by a specialist, accurate diagnosis based on objective measurement data through sensing data including a scalp image is necessary, and there is a need for development of a device and system allowing a user to identify and diagnose a scalp condition easily and conveniently at will.
For analysis of a scalp or skin condition, a method using both a typical scalp image and an ultraviolet (UV)-induced fluorescence image is known. UV-induced fluorescence is a phenomenon in which, when a target site of the skin or scalp is irradiated with UV light, a change in an energy level occurs in vivo in terms of sebum, dead follicles, inflammation, or the like, and visible light is emitted. Using such a phenomenon, porphyrin or sebum information can be visually obtained. However, in a spectrum of visible light emitted due to sebum, dead follicles, inflammation, or the like, blue light having a wavelength in a range of 360 nm to 440 nm enters a camera in large amounts, and there is a problem in that the camera is not able to capture information on things such as sebum, dead follicles, inflammation, or the like that is desired to be captured.
A conventional skin or scalp measurement device illuminates the skin with UV light in a state in which external light is blocked and uses a blue-cut filter so that information on things such as sebum (white-orange), dead follicles (purple-black), inflammation (orange-red), or the like is expressed well in an image.
However, in the case of the conventional method, there is a problem of an increase in the size of a device due to requiring a blackout curtain for UV fluorescence excitation imaging. Also, when skin is observed by interchangeably using a camera with a white light source and a camera with a UV light source, it is not easy to observe the skin at the same position.
When a polarizing filter and a UV blocking filter are used together to obtain both images using a single camera in order to address the above problems, a light quantity is insufficient, and it is difficult to maximize a light emission effect by UV light.
Also, conventional devices that only capture scalp images have limitations in collection of data for analyzing scalp health, such as moisture, temperature, and smell of the scalp. Each sensor should be provided as a separate device, or in order to measure various factors of the scalp using multiple sensors, a mode should be manually changed to Camera, Sensor 1, Sensor 2, and the like, and moisture, temperature, oil, or the like should be sequentially measured one at a time, and thus there are problems in that it is difficult to secure consistency of measurement data of the same site, and it is difficult and cumbersome for a non-specialist user to operate the device.

The scalp sensing device 1000 may obtain scalp image data, scalp temperature data, scalp moisture data, or scalp smell data. The scalp sensing device 1000 may transmit the obtained scalp image and/or scalp temperature data, scalp moisture data, or scalp smell data (hereinafter referred to as “scalp sensing data”) to the electronic device 2000 or the server 3000 through an arbitrary network.
Hereinafter, a configuration of the scalp sensing device 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to
The scalp sensing device 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a main body part 1010 and a sensor module 1020 coupled to one side (upper portion) of the main body part. The main body part and the sensor module each have internal parts accommodated by a lower casing 1011 and the upper casing 1021. The structures or cover ranges of the casings may be subject to design changes and are not limited to those illustrated in the drawings.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main body part 1010 includes components such as a battery 420, a main printed circuit board (PCB) 430, a main body frame 410 to which the battery and the main PCB are fixed, and a heat sink 440 and the lower casing 1011 configured to accommodate the components. The main body frame 410 has a T-shape and is fixed in the lower casing 1011. The battery 420, the main PCB 430, and the heat sink 440 are fixed to the main body frame 410.
The main body frame 410 includes a main body support plate 411 longitudinally extending vertically and an upper support plate 412 coupled to an upper end of the main body support plate 411. A seating portion 413 for a camera to be seated thereon is formed on an upper surface of the upper support plate 412 (see
Meanwhile, referring to
The camera module 100 is disposed in one region of the sensor board 200, and the scalp environment sensors 310, 320, and 330 are disposed in another region of the sensor board adjacent to the camera module. The camera module 100 and the scalp environment sensors 310, 320, and 330 according to one embodiment of the present invention are disposed adjacent to each other, and due to such a structure, when a scalp image is captured by the camera module of the scalp sensing device approaching the scalp of a user, the scalp environment sensors may also approach the region of the scalp that is being captured and simultaneously measure one or more pieces of scalp sensing data among scalp temperature data, scalp moisture data, and scalp smell data.
Hereinafter, the structure of the sensor module will be described in detail with reference to
First, the structure of the camera module will be described. The camera module includes a camera part 110 including an image sensor and a lens and positioned under a through-hole of the sensor board, a light diffusion member 130 disposed on an optical axis of the camera part, a blue-cut filter 120 disposed between the camera part and the light diffusion member to block the through-hole and block light of a predetermined wavelength that is incident on the camera part, a UV light source 150, and a white light source 140.
Referring to
The blue-cut filter is fixed and coupled to an upper end of the through-hole 210. The blue-cut filter 120 is coupled to the sensor board 200 around the through-hole 210 by, for example, heat fusion and blocks the through-hole 210 from above the through-hole 210 to filter light of a specific wavelength (for example, in a range of 360 nm to 440 nm) that is introduced into the camera through the through-hole.
The light diffusion member 130 is disposed at an upper portion of the blue-cut filter. The light diffusion member 130 is fixed and coupled to an upper surface of the sensor board 200 by, for example, heat fusion. That is, the light diffusion member 130 is fixed and coupled to an upper portion of the through-hole of the sensor board 200 with the blue-cut filter 120 disposed therebetween.
The light diffusion member 130 is a one-body type diffusion lens having a conical shape or a cylindrical shape with a cut upper end and is configured to effectively guide light of the white light source and the UV light source, which are fixed and coupled to the sensor board 200, to a measurement target scalp region at an upper end and allow reflected light to be optimally incident on the camera part. The light diffusion member 130 may be made of transparent plastic, for example, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), or polyurethane (PU). The light diffusion member 130 may be formed as one body using a mold but is not limited thereto.
The light diffusion member 130 according to one embodiment of the present invention has a double cylinder structure in which an inner cylinder 131 having a hollow portion 134 formed therein and an outer cylinder 132, which has an upper end connected to the inner cylinder 131, are coupled along a central axis of the hollow portion 134. The inner cylinder 131 and the outer cylinder 132 are coaxial, are connected at an upper portion to share the same inner and outer circumferential surfaces, and are spaced apart from each other at a lower portion so that a lower space is formed between the inner and outer cylinders. Here, “cylinder” is used as a concept encompassing a truncated cone, a quadrangular pyramid, and a polygonal pyramid. At the upper portion of the light diffusion member 130, the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are integrated with each other and have the same radius. On the other hand, at the lower portion of the light diffusion member 130, a lower radius of the inner cylinder is smaller than a lower radius of the outer cylinder, and the inner and outer cylinders 131 and 132 are spaced apart from each other such that a space is formed therebetween. The space is for placing the UV light source, or a UV-A LED 150, in a state in which the sensor module is assembled.
According to one embodiment of the present invention illustrated in
An intermediate portion 133 having the shape of a quadrangular column may be additionally formed on the circumference of the inner cylinder of the light diffusion member 130 and may be disposed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. The intermediate portion 133 may be a quadrangular cylinder that is branched downward from an upper coupling portion of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder and extends vertically. An inner circumferential surface of a lower end of the intermediate portion 133 may be formed to correspond to the blue-cut filter to circumscribe a side edge of the blue-cut filter. Parts of the intermediate portion 133 excluding four corners thereof may be cut out. The four corners of the intermediate portion are tightly placed around four corners of the blue-cut filter in an assembled state and provide support for fixing the position of the blue-cut filter in the assembling process.
Four connecting portions 135 may be formed to radially extend from the four corners of the intermediate portion 133 of the light diffusion member 130 and be connected to the outer cylinder 132. Each connecting portion 135 is connected to the outer cylinder by radially extending horizontally about the central axis (optical axis) from one of the corners of the intermediate portion 133.
Referring to
The arrangement and action of the UV-A LEDs 150 will be described in detail with reference to
Referring to
Light incident on the camera part is supposed to pass through the through-hole, but since the through-hole is blocked by the blue-cut filter, light in the blue wavelength band (360 nm to 440 nm) that overlaps with wavelengths of light of the UV-A LEDs may be effectively filtered.
Meanwhile, as illustrated in
Referring to
In
In this way, an optical system of the present invention has been designed so that the UV light sources and the white light sources are disposed adjacent to the camera part at a lower portion, and light from the light sources is directed to a measurement target site, and then reflected/scattered or excited, and incident on the camera part positioned in the opposite direction again. Due to such a structure, light from the light sources may be used with maximum efficiency. However, in the structure, the light sources, the camera part, and the like are disposed in a very narrow region, but paths of reflected light before and after the light reaches a measurement target region should be made different, and thus it is difficult to design space arrangement and optical paths. The inventor of the present invention has addressed such problems using the light diffusion member having the double cylinder structure having the hollow portion.
Meanwhile, by a controller of the main PCB or the sensor board, the white LEDs 140 and the UV-A LEDs 150 are controlled to sequentially emit light instead of simultaneously emitting light. The white LEDs 140 may emit light first so that the camera part 110 captures an image of a measurement target region, and then the UV-A LEDs 150 may emit light at several ms intervals to illuminate the measurement target region with UV light so that the camera part 110 captures a UV excitation image. The continuous light emitting and image capturing processes are performed at several us intervals or several s intervals such that matching images for the same region are almost simultaneously obtained. Further, since the images of the same region are almost simultaneously captured by the same optical system, it is easy to match a typical scalp image and a UV-induced fluorescence image.
Meanwhile, the upper casing covers an upper portion of the sensor module, and a camera part cap 1022 and an environment sensor cap 1023 are each formed in a protruding cylindrical shape in regions of the upper casing that correspond to the camera module and the scalp environment sensors of the sensor module (see
A transparent cover is coupled to an upper end of the camera part cap so that light from the camera part and reflected/scattered light from the scalp pass therethrough while foreign matter is prevented from entering the camera module from the outside. An upper portion of the camera part cap is fitted to the upper portion of the light diffusion member. The camera part cap protrudes upward slightly more than the environment sensor cap and comes in close contact with the scalp or skin, and thus introduction of disturbance light may be minimized during imaging. When the camera part cap comes in close contact with the scalp or skin for measurement, the environment sensor cap 1023 adjacent to the camera part cap and whose height is slightly lower than the camera part cap is slightly spaced apart from the measurement target surface, and thus foreign matter may be prevented from entering the environment sensor cap 1023 while measurement of temperature, moisture, and smell is facilitated.
Scalp environment sensors 300 may include a temperature sensor 320, a moisture sensor 310, and/or a volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor 330 configured to detect volatile organic matter and measure a smell, and scalp temperature data, scalp moisture data, and/or scalp smell data may be obtained through the sensors, respectively. The data may be the basis for calculating alopecia diagnosis aid information according to one embodiment of the present application.
A sensor module of the scalp sensing device 1000 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to
The sensor module of the scalp sensing device 1000 according to another embodiment of the present invention further includes a separation plate 125 disposed under the light diffusion member 130. The separation plate 125 is made of a non-light-transmissible material and has a through-portion 126 formed at the center and a blocking wall 127 formed to protrude upward from a circumference of the through-portion at the center.
The blue-cut filter 120 is seated on a seating portion 128 formed at the blocking wall and is positioned at an upper end of the through-portion 126, and a central axis of the through-portion at the center is coaxial with the optical axis. The UV light source 150 is disposed at an outer side of the blocking wall 127. The blocking wall 127 is formed to protrude in a quadrangular shape from the circumference of the through-portion at the center, an extension wall 129 is formed to radially extend outward from the blocking wall 127, and the UV light source 150 is disposed between the blocking wall 127 and the extension wall 129.
The white light source is positioned more outward from the optical axis than the UV light source and is alternately disposed with the UV light source. The light diffusion member is disposed on the separation plate to press the blue-cut filter 120. Here, the light diffusion member may have a form similar to the form thereof in the above-described embodiment of
