Abstract: The present invention provides a system that enhances the experience of using a portable device such as mobile phones, smart phones, Personal Digital Assistants PDA etc. To improve the user experience in the use of a portable device, techniques are used for “context characterization, i.e., from a range of conditions possible to detect by the system, such as time (date/time), current location, motion, etc., as well as the historical use of the device, a certain grouping of actions and settings, called “context” are selected automatically or manually, modifying and setting from that moment the way of user interacts with the device.

Abstract: A system and method are capable of performing make-up virtual images obtained with portable devices with a digital camera. The method automatically detects points of interest (eyes, mouth, eyebrow, face contour) of the user's face image allowing the user to virtually apply make-up using fingers on a touch screen. Another algorithm was created to avoid “blurring” of make-up in the application from the user's fingers. The system allows the creation of virtual make-up faces with high accuracy. To carry out the virtual make-up, methods were created for automatically detecting points of interest in the facial image and enforcing transparency in the image to simulate the make-up and restrict the make-up application area within the region where the points of interest are found. The system allows testing cosmetics application in facial images to aid choosing colors of cosmetics before actually applying them.
