METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING AND QUANTIFYING SUN EXPOSURE

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and system for managing pre- and in-sun exposure of skin. The method comprises during pre-sun exposure phase, inputting a location information of a user, and other contextual ambient information therefor, thereby facilitating determination of the UV level thereof, determining a baseline information in connection with the skin in a part of the day from at least one of midnight and dawn to noon, scanning at least one most predictably susceptible zone of one or more zones of the skin predictably susceptible to sun exposure, determining the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) level for a sunscreen for use by the user based on one or more quantifiable qualitative and quantitative parameters therefor, recommending the determined SPF level for the sunscreen for use by the user thereby facilitating search, identification and selection of one or more sunscreen products, solutions and regimens by the user, during in-sun exposure phase, at least one of determining whether or not the UV index of the location is confined in at least one of one or more predetermined ranges and reminding the user to scan the skin at one or more predetermined intervals depending upon the confinement of the determined UV index or level in at least one of the one or more predetermined ranges.

1. A method for managing sun exposure of skin comprising:
in a pre-sun exposure phase, inputting the location information of a user, and other contextual ambient information therefor, thereby facilitating determination of the UV level thereof; determining a baseline information in connection with the skin in a part of the day from at least one of midnight and dawn to noon; scanning at least one most predictably susceptible zone of one or more zones of the skin predictably susceptible to sun exposure; determining the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) level in connection with at least one of a sunscreen and sunblock for use by the user based on one or more quantifiable qualitative and quantitative parameters therefor; recommending the determined SPF level for the at least one of the sunscreen and sunblock for use by the user thereby facilitating search, identification and selection of one or more of the at least one of the sunscreen and sunblock products, solutions and regimens by the user; in an in-sun exposure phase, determining whether or not the UV index of the location is confined in at least one of one or more predetermined ranges; and reminding the user to scan the skin at one or more predetermined intervals depending upon the confinement of the determined UV index in at least one of the one or more predetermined ranges.
