Abstract
The present disclosure provides a handheld makeup applicator device that may analyze the real-time data associated with the face of a user in order to generate a three-dimensional map associated with the face of the user and identify one or more facial features of the face of the user on the three-dimensional map associated with the face of the user. The handheld makeup applicator device may control one or more haptic feedback components to provide haptic feedback as the user holds the handheld makeup applicator device to the face of the user, based on a location of the handheld makeup applicator device with respect to the one or more facial features of the face of the user.
Claims19
A handheld makeup applicator device, comprising:
- one or more sensors operable to capture real-time data associated with a face of a user;
- one or more haptic feedback components including:
- a first haptic feedback component associated with a first facial feature of the user, the first haptic feedback component operable to vibrate to provide, to the user, first haptic feedback corresponding to the first facial feature;
- and
- a second haptic feedback component associated with a second facial feature of the user, the second haptic feedback component operable to vibrate to provide, to the user, second haptic feedback corresponding to the second facial feature, wherein respective patterns and respective intensities of the first haptic feedback and of the second haptic feedback are modifiable, and the first facial feature and the second facial feature are different facial features of a set of facial features including a lip, a mouth, an eye, an eyelid, an eyebrow, a set of eyelashes, a lash line, a cheek, and a cheekbone;
- and
- a controller, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory memories storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- analyze the real-time data associated with the face of the user in order to generate a three-dimensional map associated with the face of the user;
- identify one or more facial features of the face of the user on the three-dimensional map associated with the face of the user;
- control the haptic feedback component to modify one or more of the respective patterns of the first haptic feedback or the respective intensities of the first haptic feedback as the user holds the handheld makeup applicator device to the first facial feature of the user, based on the handheld makeup applicator device moving closer to the first facial feature;
- and
- control the second haptic feedback component to modify one or more of the respective patterns of the second haptic feedback or the respective intensities of the second haptic feedback as the user holds the handheld makeup applicator device to the second facial feature of the user, based on the handheld makeup applicator device moving closer to the second facial feature.
12 more elements
A computer-implemented method for controlling a handheld makeup applicator device via one or more processors, comprising:
- analyzing real-time data associated with a face of a user captured by one or more sensors in order to generate a three-dimensional map associated with the face of the user;
- identifying one or more facial features of the face of the user on the three-dimensional map associated with the face of the user;
- controlling a first haptic feedback component of the handheld makeup applicator device to automatically modify one or more of a pattern or an intensity of first haptic feedback provided by the first haptic feedback component as the user holds the handheld makeup applicator device to a first facial feature of the user, based on the handheld makeup applicator device moving closer to the first facial feature;
- and
- controlling a second haptic feedback component of the handheld makeup applicator device to automatically modify one or more of a pattern or an intensity of second haptic feedback provided by the second haptic component as the user holds the handheld makeup applicator device to a second facial feature of the user, based on the handheld makeup applicator device moving closer to the second facial feature,
- the first facial feature and the second facial feature being different facial features of a set of facial features including a lip, a mouth, an eye, an eyelid, an eyebrow, a set of eyelashes, a lash line, a cheek, and a cheekbone.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for controlling a handheld makeup applicator device that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
- analyzing real-time data associated with a face of a user captured by one or more sensors of the handheld makeup applicator device in order to generate a three-dimensional map associated with the face of the user;
- identifying one or more facial features of the face of the user on the three-dimensional map associated with the face of the user;
- controlling a first haptic feedback component of the handheld makeup applicator device to automatically modify one or more of a pattern or an intensity of first haptic feedback provided by the first haptic feedback component as the user holds the handheld makeup applicator device to a first facial feature of the user, based on the handheld makeup applicator device moving closer to the first facial feature;
- and
- controlling a second haptic feedback component of the handheld makeup applicator device to automatically modify one or more of a pattern or an intensity of second haptic feedback provided by the second haptic component as the user holds the handheld makeup applicator device to a second facial feature of the user, based on the handheld makeup applicator device moving closer to the second facial feature,
- the first facial feature and the second facial feature being different facial features of a set of facial features including a lip, a mouth, an eye, an eyelid, an eyebrow, a set of eyelashes, a lash line, a cheek, and a cheekbone.
