The processor 11 may receive an input including at least one of a measurement region and a measurement item (S20).
The processor 11 may receive at least one of a measurement region and a measurement item that the user wants to measure skin through the input unit 13.
The measurement region may refer to a position or site measured through the measuring device 30. For example, the measurement region includes eye rims, cheeks, mouth, a T zone, a smile zone, and the like, but it is merely illustrative, and thus the embodiment is not limited thereto.
The measurement item may refer to a measurement target through the measuring device 30. For example, the measurement item includes moisture, elasticity, and the like, but it is merely illustrative, and thus the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The processor 11 may acquire a measurement point (S40).
The measurement point may refer to a point to be measured by the measuring device 30.
The processor 11 may acquire the measurement point from an internal program or the server 50.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method in which the skin characteristic data visualization device acquires a measurement point. In particular, FIG. 5 is a flowchart in which step S40 of FIG. 4 is embodied.
The processor 11 may determine whether a program for acquiring the measurement point is embedded (S410). That is, the processor 11 may determine whether the program for acquiring the measurement point is stored therein.
When the program is embedded therein, the processor 11 may calculate where N measurement points should be measured in which region (S420).
When the program is not embedded, the processor 11 may receive measurement points from the server 50 (S430).
That is, when the program is not embedded, the server 50 may calculate where N measurement points should be measured in which region, and the processor 11 may receive the measurement points from the server 50.
The processor 11 may calculate a number of measurement points according to user characteristics acquired from the database 20.

Specifically, the processor 11 may display to overlap the measurement points on the preview image of the camera 15 on the display 14. That is, the processor 11 may display an image in which a measurement point appears in a user's facial image through an AR technology.
In addition, when displaying the measurement points, the processor 11 may further display a position of the measurement device 30 or the measurement region by the AR. The position of the measuring device 30 may be a tip position of the end of the measuring device 30.
That is, the processor 11 may display the measurement position of the measuring device 30 through a camera preview using the AR technology.
Since such an image is shown in an example of FIG. 8, it will be described in detail in FIG. 8.
The processor 11 may change a color of the measurement region or measurement point according to the position of the measuring device 30 (S60).
The processor 11 may recognize the position of the measuring device 30 appearing on the preview image of the camera 15. Based on the position of the measuring device 30, when the measuring device 30 is positioned in the measuring region or the measuring point, the processor 11 may change a color of the measuring region or measuring point.

For example, the processor 11 may determine whether the skin characteristic data visualization device is connected to the measuring device 30 through Bluetooth or the skin characteristic data visualization device is connected to the measuring device 30 through the same Wi-Fi.
When the skin characteristic data visualization device is wirelessly connected to the measuring device 30, the processor 11 may receive measurement information from the measuring device 30 through wireless communication (S820).
When the skin characteristic data visualization device is not wirelessly connected to the measuring device 30, the processor 11 may directly receive an input of measurement information (S830).
That is, when the skin characteristic data visualization device is not wirelessly connected to the measuring device 30, the processor 11 may acquire a measurement value directly input by the user through the input unit 13. When the skin characteristic data visualization device 10 is not wirelessly connected to the measuring device 30, the user may directly input the measured value of the measuring device 30 to the input unit 13.

The processor 11 may display the measurement information (S100).
The processor 11 may control the display 14 so as to display the measurement information.

The processor 11 may generate the VR skin according to the skin characteristics and display it on the user's real facial image.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying measurement information by the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. That is, FIG. 7 is a flowchart in which step S100 of FIG. 4 is embodied.
The processor 11 may generate VR data (S110).
The VR data may refer to data for generating a virtual skin representing skin characteristics of a user according to the measurement information, that is, the VR skin.
The processor 11 may generate the VR skin according to the skin characteristics for each SCENE (S120).
The processor 11 may generate the VR skin in which the skin characteristics of the user according to the measurement information of the measuring device 30 is displayed and may generate the VR skin for each SCENE. Here, the VR skin for each SCENE may refer to a VR skin for each measurement region, each measurement item, or each period.
The processor 11 may set a running time for each skin (S130).
The processor 11 may set a running time for each generated VR skin, and the running time may refer to a displayed playback time.
The processor 11 may set TRANSITION between skins (S140).
TRANSITION between skins may refer to an effect displayed between the VR skins. TRANSITION may refer to a transition effect between scenes.

The processor 11 may display the skin characteristics by augmented reality according to the running time when the augmented reality is executed (S150).
That is, the processor 11 may implement the simulation image by the AR by overlapping the generated VR skin on the user's real facial image. Specifically, the processor 11 may express a first VR skin according to measurement information of a first time point on the user's real facial image and then may express a second VR skin according to measurement information of a second time point on the user's real facial image. For example, the processor 11 may overlap and display the first VR skin with acne at a 19th measurement point on the user's facial image, and then the processor 11 may overlap and display a second VR skin without at the 19th measurement point on the user's facial image.
Next, various screens related to an operation of a skin characteristic data visualization device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 22.
FIG. 8 is an example of a screen displaying measurement points by the AR by the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
When the processor 11 displays the measurement points by the AR, as shown in FIG. 8, a display 14 may display an image in which at least one measurement point P overlaps a user's facial image.
When a face moves, the processor 11 may track the movement of the face and may move the measurement point P together.
When displaying the measurement point P, the display 14 may display a measurement region together. As shown in the example of FIG. 8, the display 14 may display icons representing measurement regions such as eye rims, cheeks, mouth, T zone, and smile zone.
FIG. 9 is an example of a screen in which the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure displays a measurement point, a measurement region, and a position of a measurement device by the AR.
When an icon representing the measurement region is selected, the processor 11 may control the display 14 so as to display a measurement region indicator A indicating the selected measurement region. In this case, the processor 11 may calculate a size of the measurement region as a ratio (percentage) in proportion to a face size. For example, the processor 11 may calculate a size of the eye rim region as 10 cm when a length between the left and right cheeks is 20 cm and may calculate the size of the eye rim region as 15 cm when the length between the left and right cheeks is 30 cm.
In addition, the processor 11 may change a color of a measurement point to be measured currently among several measurement points.
In addition, the processor 11 may control the display 14 so as to further display a measuring device indicator M indicating the position of the measuring device 30 together with the measuring region indicator A.
Meanwhile, the processor 11 may deactivate a point input window when the measuring device 30 is not positioned at the measuring point P. In addition, the processor 11 may activate the point input window when the measuring device 30 is positioned at the measuring point P. The processor 11 may determine whether the measuring device 30 is positioned at the measuring point P based on an area in which the position of the measuring device indicator M and the measuring point P intersect.
The processor 11 may wirelessly receive a measurement value input to the point input window from the measuring device 30 or directly receive input for the measurement value through the input unit 13.
Meanwhile, the processor 11 may acquire the measurement value at another point not guided to the measurement point P, and in this case, a new measurement point P may be created.
The processor 11 may control the display 14 so as to further display past data when there is a past measurement record corresponding to the measurement point P at which the measuring device 30 is positioned. The past data may include a measurement value and a simulation according to the measurement value.
FIG. 10 is an exemplary view illustrating a screen on which the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure displays past data.
The processor 11 may indicate on the display 14 at least one piece of past data corresponding to the measurement point P where the measuring device 30 is positioned. As shown in the example of FIG. 10, the processor 11 may display a measurement date, a measurement value, and a simulation according to the measurement value on the display 14 together.
The processor 11 may enlarge the measurement region including the corresponding measurement point at a predetermined ratio to display the simulation according to the measurement value.
Meanwhile, the processor 11 may differently calculate a number of measurement points P required to be measured in the measurement region according to a face size.
FIG. 11 is a view illustrating a state in which the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure varies the number of measurement points according to the face size.
For example, when the face size is smaller than a reference size, the processor 11 may calculate the number of measurement points of the measurement region corresponding to the eye rim as three, and when the face size is greater than the reference size, the processor 11 may calculate the number of measurement points of the measurement region corresponding to the eye rim as six. In addition, the processor 11 may display the measuring point P differently according thereto, FIG. 11A is an image illustrating the measuring point P when the face size is smaller than the reference size, and FIG. 11B is an image illustrating the measurement point P when the face size is greater than the reference size.
Meanwhile, when only measurement information on a part of a plurality of measurement points P is acquired, the processor 11 may predict a measurement value corresponding to the measurement point P in which the measurement information does not exist through interpolation or machine learning.
FIG. 12 is an example of a screen on which measurement information is displayed in the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
For example, referring to the example of FIG. 12, the processor 11 may predict a value acquired by adding a value acquired by multiplying a measurement value of a third measurement point by 0.2 and a value acquired by multiplying a measurement value of a sixth measurement point by 0.3 and then dividing the value by 2 as a measurement value of a fifth measurement point, where 0.2 may be a calculated value according to a distance between the third measurement point and the fifth measurement point, and 0.3 may be a calculated value according to a distance between the sixth measurement point and the fifth measurement point.
As another example, based on a result of learning data of a woman in her twenties, when the measurement value corresponding to the third measurement point of the woman in her twenties is 20 and the measurement value corresponding to the sixth measurement point is 70, the processor 11 may calculate the measurement value corresponding to the fifth measurement point as 40.
Next, Table 1 below is an example of data used when the processor 11 generates a simulation. In particular, Table 1 is an example of data used when the processor 11 creates a VR skin. For example, when selecting elasticity, selecting network tension simulation, and the ninth measurement point is 8, it corresponds to the index 80, and the processor 11 may create a VR skin having sagging of 30, and tension of 70 around the ninth measurement point.

The processor 11 may generate an AR skin using measurement information for each time period (e.g., week 0, week 1, and week 3).
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure displays measurement information for each period in a timeline.
As shown in an example of FIG. 13, the processor 11 may display the measurement information for each period in a timeline in chronological order and may set a TRANSITION between each period.
FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure displays a simulation.
As in an example of FIG. 14, the processor 11 may display an icon representing each period together with a simulation image.
For example, the processor 11 may display by simulating a face that was dry at week 0 for 7 seconds, a face that was somewhat improved at week 1 for 7 seconds, and a face that was moist at week 2 for 7 seconds.
In addition, the processor 11 may provide external environment information that affects a skin condition. For example, the processor 11 may display external environment information that affects the skin condition together with the simulation.
FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure displays the simulation together with monitor information.
The processor 11 may display monitor information together with the simulation. The monitor information may include external environment information such as weather, temperature, humidity, UV index, and fine dust index, which may be acquired from an external environment related information DB.
Information such as temperature, humidity, skin care, etc. may be displayed as numbers or degrees (e.g., bad, normal, good), and the numbers or degrees may be displayed in a form of a graph (e.g., bar graph).
The graph may further include monitor information about a time point corresponding to the simulation and a past time point or a future time point. In this case, an indicator such as a cursor indicating a time point corresponding to the simulation may be further included.
The external environment-related information DB may provide an average temperature, an average humidity, and an average weather during the skin measurement period to the skin characteristic data visualization device 10.
In addition, the processor 11 may receive ultraviolet light information from the external environment related information DB. For example, when the skin characteristic data visualization device 10 is a mobile phone, a user's movement line is grasped by a GPS of a mobile phone to acquire a date and time that the user traveled outside, thereby acquiring ultraviolet light information at the corresponding place, date and time.
In addition, the monitor information may include customer information acquired through questionnaires, etc., which may include stress, eating habits, skin care information, exercise information, sleep time, schedule information, etc. of the customer, which may be acquired from the customer related information DB.
For example, the skin care information may include information on cosmetics being used by the user.
For example, when the skin characteristic data visualization device 10 is the mobile phone, the processor 11 may calculate the sleep time by using an acceleration sensor and usage time of the mobile phone.
In addition, when the skin characteristic data visualization device 10 is the mobile phone, the processor 11 may acquire the user's schedule information (e.g., whether the user went out or not, a user's out date, etc.) through a schedule-related application.
Therefore, the processor 11 may acquire whether the user is exposed to ultraviolet rays, sleep time, and the like for each date based on the user's schedule information to display an improvement effect according to the cosmetic information in use by simulation. That is, when specific cosmetics is continuously being used, the processor 11 may display by simulation so as to visually guide improvements according to corresponding cosmetics.
In FIGS. 18 to 22, a method for displaying the improvements in moisturizing through ceramide cream has been described as an example, but the embodiment is not limited thereto, and the processor 11 may provide improvements for various cosmetics and various effects (e.g., wrinkles, soothing, whitening, etc.) through the method shown in FIGS. 18 to 22. Meanwhile, the monitor information as described in FIG. 16 may be displayed as a monitor information icon as shown in FIG. 16.
FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure displays a monitor information icon.
FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a method of receiving task information by the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
The task may refer to measuring an effect over time for each cosmetic.
The processor 11 may display a task list composed of at least one task item. Each of the task items included in the task list may include a task name, skin characteristics, date and time of creation. The processor 11 may dispose the most recently progressed task upward by sorting the tasks in the latest order. When ‘delete’ on the right side of each task item is selected, the processor 11 may generate a pop-up and delete corresponding task subject data. When ‘Modify’ on the right side or ‘+ Add’ at the bottom of each task item is selected, the processor 11 may generate a task information input pop-up. When each task item is selected, the processor 11 displays a list of test subjects for the corresponding task, which may be the same as an example of FIG. 18.
FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a method of receiving test subject information by the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
The processor 11 may display a list of test subjects and display names (or initials), gender, and age on individual task items. When ‘delete’ on the right side of each task item is selected, the processor 11 may generate a pop-up and delete corresponding test subject data. The processor 11 may generate a test subject information input pop-up by pressing the ‘Modify’ button on the right side or the ‘+ Add’ button at the bottom of each task item.
When the test subject item is selected, the processor 11 may display a stored photograph on the right screen and may activate a ‘Next’ button at the bottom.
The processor 11 may change an order by dragging and dropping the left side of each task item.
FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a method of displaying a data skin list by the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
The data skin may refer to a data-based effect and a time point to be overlaid during an augmented reality (AR) effect.
The processor 11 may first activate ‘data skin’ among three top tabs and display a data skin list. The data skin list may include at least one data skin item. The processor 11 may display a name for each data skin item, and when ‘delete’ is selected on the right side, the processor 11 may generate the pop-up and delete the corresponding data skin. The processor 11 may generate a data skin information input pop-up when a ‘modify’ button on the right side of each data skin item or a ‘+ add’ button at the bottom is selected. The processor 11 may change the order by dragging and dropping the left side of each data skin item.
FIG. 20 is an exemplary view of the data skin information input pop-up displayed by the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
The processor 11 may display a plurality of measurement points together with an illustration (or a front cut of a model). The number of measurement points may be 18, but it is merely illustrative and may be excluded when a numerical value is not input.
When an icon (‘point n’) representing a nth measurement point is selected, the processor 11 may activate a corresponding measurement point while changing a border color of the corresponding measurement point on an image.
The processor 11 may distinguish a color between a measurement point where a measurement value is input and a measurement point where a measurement value is not input.
The processor 11 may display an input window capable of inputting measurement values of all measurement points at once at the bottom of the measurement value input field for each measurement point. In this case, the processor 11 may divide the data with commas or spaces, and when the input is completed, a numerical value may be substituted into the activated corresponding measurement point.
Alternatively, the processor 11 may immediately apply the numerical value when external input data (such as an Excel file) is loaded.
When an input field of the data skin name is displayed at the top right side and the ‘Statistical Analysis Result’ button at the bottom is selected, the processor 11 may generate a pop-up with information such as a number of data, an average, and a standard deviation, and a result displayed in the pop-up allows so as to export the entire data in a file form such as an abbreviated form, .xlsx, or the like.
FIG. 21 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a method of setting a timeline by the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
The processor 11 may display the entire timeline and may display a data skin name, an effect, and a time in an individual item. When ‘delete’ on the right side of each item is selected, the processor 11 may display a pop-up to delete the corresponding task. The processor 11 may display a timeline setting input pop-up when the ‘Modify’ button on the right side of each item or the ‘+ Add’ button at the bottom of the list is selected. The processor 11 may change the order by dragging and dropping the left side of each item.
The processor 11 may select stored a data skin or TRANSITION, and TRANSITION may be an effect between data skins. When the data skin is selected, the processor 11 may set an effect and a time (in seconds) for AR to be implemented in an image. Even when TRANSITION is selected, the processor 11 may set an effect and a time, and in this case, it is possible to select effects different from the data skin.
FIG. 22 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a method of setting a simulation by the skin characteristic data visualization device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
The processor 11 may overlap and display AR representing skin characteristics according to a measured value on a face on a screen in real-time. The processor 11 may apply immediately when an individual data skin item is selected at the bottom and may apply the effect for a previously set time when a ‘play’ button at the bottom right is selected. The processor 11 may change the ‘play’ button to ‘pause’ and ‘stop’ buttons during playback. The processor 11 may perform capture when a camera icon is selected and may perform image recording when a video icon is selected.
