Abstract
A device may receive data from a portable applicator as the applicator moves from a first position from a user to at least a second position from the user. The device may process the data to create a map of the user and transmit the map to a display on a remote computing device, wherein the user is permitted to select one or more target profiles to be applied to the user via the portable applicator. The device may transmit a signal to the portable applicator when the user makes a selection and commence dispensing of the selected target profile in an atomized mist on the user.
Claims23
An applicator, comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to provide real-time mapping data as the applicator moves from a first position relative to a user's face or body to at least a second position relative to the user's face or body;
- a head component comprising:
- at least one media reservoir configured to contain at least one media;
- a reservoir lid positioned above the at least one media;
- a nozzle comprising a tubular structure configured to facilitate passage of the at least one media from the at least one media reservoir;
- a head control system coupled to and controlling a position of a needle within the nozzle;
- wherein the needle is in concert with the nozzle effectuate atomization of the at least one media as the at least one media exits the nozzle;
- a cap positioned at least partially downstream of the nozzle and configured to facilitate passage of the at least one media from the applicator, wherein the cap comprises a sub-cap positioned within the cap and around at least a portion of the nozzle and is configured to increase pressure at a tip of the nozzle;
- and
- an air constriction component positioned upstream from the tip of the nozzle and configured to present a reduction in diameter of a passage area;
- and
- a body component removably engaged with the head component, wherein the body component comprises:
- an air source configured to supply pressurized air through the passage area, wherein the at least one media is atomized via the pressurized air and exits the applicator through the cap;
- one or more circuitry components housing at least one hardware processor and configured to distribute power from a power source within the applicator.
11 more elements
A system configured for applying cosmetics, the system comprising:
- one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
- receive data from one or more sensors of an applicator in real time as the applicator moves from a first position relative to a user's body to at least a second position relative to the user's body;
- process the data to determine a data map of the user;
- and
- transmit the data map of the user to a remote computing device comprising a display, the computing device configured to receive user inputs related to application of one or more media to a portion of the user's body corresponding to the data map;
- wherein the display presents the data map of the user and is configured to permit the user to select one or more target profiles, the one or more target profiles comprising at least one virtual overlay of one or more media as applied to the user;
- transmit the selected target profile to a machine-learning model, wherein the machine-learning model is configured to identify and store the selected target profile for future selections and is further configured to assist the user in selecting and effectuating application of the one or more target profiles with the applicator;
- use the selected target profile and feedback from the machine-learning model, to control a rate or pressure of air expelled from an air source in the applicator as well as a position of a needle in the applicator, the rate or pressure of air and needle position influencing the applicator's spray pattern to assist the user in effectuating the target profile.
5 more elements
A non-transient computer-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors configured to perform a method for applying cosmetics, the method comprising:
- receiving a target profile comprising at least one preselected user input;
- and
- dispensing at least one media from at least one media reservoir in an applicator, wherein the dispensing comprises:
- scanning a portion of a user's body via one or more sensors positioned on the applicator, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to provide readings of distance and angle or position of the applicator in real time as the applicator moves from an initial position relative to the user's body to at least a second position relative to the user's body,
- developing a map of the portion of the user's body, by comparing the readings to a datastore on a computing device;
- instructing an air source to pass pressurized air through a passage in a head portion of the applicator that passes an orifice on a bottom of the at least one media reservoir, this air movement drawing additional media into the passage, the air source being in the body portion of the applicator and the at least one media reservoir and passage being in a head portion of the applicator, and
- instructing an actuator of a head control system to position a needle within the passage to pass the at least one media through a nozzle and through a cap in the head portion at a rate and an angle of spread corresponding to the (1) target profile, (2) the map of the portion of the user's body, and (3) the readings of the one or more sensors in real time, wherein the at least one media is atomized into a mist as it exits the applicator.
