Abstract
A device for determining the hair coloring products to be used to change the user's present hair color to a new hair color. The device includes a keyboard for entering a designation which identifies the user's present hair color and the desired hair color. The user also enters data to identify the particular line of hair coloring products which the user desires to use. The device then responds to such data by displaying the designations of hair coloring products of the chosen line which will change the user's present hair color to the new hair color.
Claims19
An apparatus for designating hair coloring products which will change an existing hair color to a new hair color, comprising:
- keyboard means for entering designations representative of an existing and a new hair color;
- electronic means responsive to said keyboard means for converting said designations of the existing hair color into a first coded signal and for converting said designations of the new hair color into a second coded signal;
- storage means for storing a plurality of formulations of hair coloring products which will change any of a plurality of existing hair colors to any of a plurality of new hair colors;
- output means responsive to said first and second coded signals for obtaining the formulation from said storage means corresponding to said first and second coded signals, whereby the hair coloring products which will change the existing hair color to the new hair color will be provided.
A hand-held device, for designating hair coloring products to be employed by a user of the device, to change the user's present hair color to a new hair color, comprising:
- means for presenting a plurality of reference hair colors each of said plurality of reference hair colors having associated therewith a unique designation;
- keyboard means for entering designations representative of said present hair color and of said new hair color by selecting one of said designations associated with said reference colors to represent the present color and the new color;
- storage means for storing a plurality of formulations which will change the plurality of reference hair colors to any other reference hair color;
- electronic means responsive to said designations entered through said keyboard means, for selecting the formulation of hair coloring products from said storage means corresponding to changing the existing hair color to a new hair color;
- and
- output means, responsive to said electronic means, for providing a visible display of said formulations of hair coloring products.
An apparatus for selecting hair color products which will change an existing hair color to a new hair color, comprising:
- keyboard means for entering designations representative of the existing and a new hair color;
- storage means for storing a plurality of formulations of hair coloring products which will change any of a plurality of existing hair colors to any of a plurality of new hair colors,
- microprocessor means responsive to said keyboard means for converting said designations of the existing hair color into a first coded signal and for converting said designations of the new hair color into a second coded signal, wherein said microprocessor selects the formulation from said storage means in response to said first and second coded signals, and
- output means for displaying the formulation selected by said microprocessor means.
