Patent number: 11393276Abstract: A system is provided for generating a custom hair dye formulation to be dispensed into a single customer container for a particular customer. The system establishes a connection with a user device of the particular customer over a network, receives a selection of a preferred type of expertise of a colorist, determines an available colorist that corresponds to the preferred type of expertise, establishes a video communication session between the particular customer and a colorist device of the determined colorist, causes display of a customer interface to the customer, causes display of a colorist interface to the colorist device, and transmits the generated custom hair dye formulation to a fill site, via the network.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: L'OrealInventors: Debra Rosenberg, Paul Gambutti, Christopher Hipple, Florent Valceschini, Richard Besen, Guive Balooch, Jennifer Lee, Joseph Kassman, Hugo Lavoie
