Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
Specifically, the main body 100 may rotatably support the display mirror unit 200. The main body 100 may have a conical tower shape. A speaker 300 may be equipped with a lower circumferential surface of the main body 100, and a battery 400 may be equipped therein.
The main body 100 may include a tower housing 110, a control switch 120, a charging port 130, and a suction cup pad 140.
The tower housing 110 of the main body 100 may have a conical tower shape to stably support the display mirror unit 200 while being easily gripped by a user. In this embodiment, the tower housing 110 is configured in the conical tower shape, but is not limited thereto, and the shape of the tower housing 110 may be variously changed.
A plurality of speaker grill holes 111 may be formed in a lower circumferential surface of the tower housing 110. Since the speaker grill holes 111 extend through the lower circumferential surface of the tower housing 110 in a circumferential direction thereof, sound output by the speaker 300 may be emitted in a radial direction of the tower housing 110.
The display mirror unit 200 may be rotatably mounted on an upper end of the tower housing 110. The display mirror unit 200 may be rotated with respect to the tower housing 110 about an axis extending parallel to the ground. In addition, the upper end of the tower housing 110 may be rotatably coupled to the display mirror unit 200 through a hinge.

For example, as shown in
In this connection, the artificial intelligence voice assistant function may be implemented as an artificial intelligence voice assistant (artificial intelligence voice assistant platform) to which a voice recognition technology for converting a voice signal received through the microphone 250 into words or sentences is applied. Examples of such artificial intelligence voice assistants may be Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, SK Telecom's NUGU, and Naver's Clova. The artificial intelligence voice assistant function processes the user's voice signal as an input signal, and can provide various artificial intelligence voice assistant services such as music playback, schedule management, alarm service reservation guidance function, speaker operation as well as searching through a preset algorithm. Since the artificial intelligence voice assistant function is a concept corresponding to an ordinary artificial intelligence voice assistant function, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
In addition, the artificial intelligence voice assistant may control the operation of nearby electronic products using a network hub. For example, once a user feeds the smart device 10 with a voice signal for operating an electronic product (smart TV, smart air conditioner, smart light, smart security system, etc.), the artificial intelligence voice assistant may perform a remote control function in order for operation of the electronic product through an infrared signal generator (not shown).
The charging port 130 may be provided on a rear of the tower housing 110 to supply power to the display mirror unit 200, the speaker 300, the battery 400, etc. The charging port 130 may be electrically connected between the battery 400 built in the main body 100 and an external power source. Since the battery 400 is electrically connected to the display mirror unit 200, the display mirror unit 200 may be supplied with power through the battery 400.
The suction cup pad 140 may include an elastic material such as silicon, which is provided on a bottom of the tower housing 110. The suction cup pad 140 may fix the main body 100 to a top of a table by increasing the adhesion of a bottom surface of the main body 100 to the top of the table.

The display module 210 may include a smart terminal capable of outputting an image by implementing preset display modes (application, programming, etc.) according to a user's voice signal or touch signal.
In this regard, the display modes may include an artificial intelligence voice assistant mode, a skin diagnosis mode, and an augmented reality (AR) makeup mode. The artificial intelligence voice assistant mode may provide various information in accordance with a user's voice signal or touch signal based on a preset algorithm, for example, an algorithm that can be realized in an artificial intelligence voice assistant of an ordinary display module 210, or an algorithm that receives corresponding information from a server. The information received by such algorithms may be, e.g., life information such as weather, information on people, objects, etc., but the spirit of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited thereto. Since the artificial intelligence voice assistant applied to the display module 210 corresponds to the function of the artificial intelligence voice assistant that can be embodied in an ordinary smart terminal, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
For example, in the artificial intelligence voice assistant mode, when a user's voice signal is received, weather information, beauty content information, the latest trend information, makeup information, hair and nail-related information, or the like may be provided through preset algorithms via a voice or a screen of the display module 210.
In the skin diagnosis mode, once a user's skin condition is photographed by the camera 240, the user's skin condition may be diagnosed using information on the photographed skin condition (pores, redness, wrinkles, skin texture, blemishes, etc.).
In the AR makeup mode, once a user's skin condition is diagnosed through the skin diagnosis mode, information on a cosmetic product (cosmetics, skin care, etc.) suitable for the user's skin condition is recommended based on the user's skin diagnosis result, and the user may receive and conveniently use the information. In addition, by collecting customer data such as what cosmetics a user of the smart device 10 of the present disclosure prefers to use every day and the user's area of interest, cosmetic manufacturers may incorporate the data into product developments and use it as a means of advertising, promotion, and marketing, and communicate closely with customers through two-way communication through the smart device 10 of the present disclosure.
Although the artificial intelligence voice assistant mode, the skin diagnosis mode, and the AR makeup mode as display modes of the display module 210 are described in this embodiment, the spirit of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited thereto, and the display module 210 may embody various other types of display modes.

The display module 210 may be provided in a rectangular shape.
For example, when the display module 210 is oriented in the horizontal direction, the artificial intelligence voice assistant mode may be implemented, and when the display module 210 is oriented in the vertical direction, the skin diagnosis mode or the AR makeup mode may be implemented. In this regard, the horizontal direction means a direction parallel to a mirror surface of the makeup mirror 220 and the ground while the display mirror unit 200 is rotated to be erect, and the vertical direction means a direction parallel to the mirror surface of the makeup mirror 220 and perpendicular to the horizontal direction.
The makeup mirror 220 may be a one-way mirror that reflects some light and is penetrated by the rest of the light. The makeup mirror 220 may provide a mirror function like a mirror with a special coating application according to the brightness of light, and may provide a glass function (light transmission function) capable of being seen through. One-way transmission recognition can be achieved when one side of the mirror is brightly lit and the other side is dark (light transmission function). Whether the makeup mirror 220 is in a mirror mode or a transmission mode may be controlled by a sleep switch 124 of the controller 500.
The support frame 230 may be coupled to the upper end of the main body 100 through a hinge coupled to the main body 100 so as to be rotatable with respect to the main body 100 in a front-rear direction. The support frame 230 may include a hinge support part 232 for supporting the hinge and a frame part 233 surrounding the hinge support part 232.

The voice signal received through the microphones 250 may be provided to the display module 210.
The ring light 260 may be provided in a ring shape along an edge of the support frame 230. The ring light 260 may provide LED lighting toward a user.
As shown in
The recognition sensor 290 may operate on and off modes of the ring light 260 based on the detection of a user. For example, when a user is positioned within a predetermined distance in front of the makeup mirror 220, the recognition sensor 290 may detect the user and operate the ring light 260 into the on mode. Further, when a user is not positioned within a predetermined distance in front of the makeup mirror 220, the recognition sensor 290 may not detect the user and may operate the ring light 260 into the off mode.
The light adjustment module 280 may operate a brightness adjustment mode of the ring light 260 when a touch-and-drag gesture is input from one end to another end by a user. The light adjustment module 280 may include a touch screen disposed in the rear surface of the makeup mirror 220. For example, when a touch-and-drag gesture is input from one end to another end by a user, the light adjustment module 280 may adjust the brightness of the ring light 260 to be gradually brighter. In addition, when a touch-and-drag gesture is input from one end to another end by a user, the light adjustment module 280 may adjust the brightness of the ring light 260 to be gradually darker.
In addition, the light adjustment module 280 may operate a color adjustment mode of the ring light 260 when a touching by a user is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). For example, when a user touches at least a portion of the light adjustment module 280 once for a predetermined time, the color of the ring light 260 may change to a first color mode (natural color), and when the user touches at least a portion of the light adjustment module 280 once again for a predetermined time, the color of the ring light 260 may change to a second color mode (bright color), and when the user touches at least a portion of the light adjustment module 280 once again for a predetermined time, the color of the ring light 260 may change to a third color mode (warm color).
The speaker 300 may output a voice signal of the artificial intelligence voice assistant. For example, the speaker 300 may be controlled by the artificial intelligence voice assistant of the display module 210. The speaker 300 may be built into the main body 100 to output sound in the radial direction of the main body 100.
The battery 400 may be a rechargeable battery, and may receive power from the outside through the charging port 130. In addition, the battery 400 may supply charged power to the display mirror unit 200, the speaker 300, and the like.
