Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile apparatus for monitoring state of cosmetic items in a drawer or on a shelf. The apparatus includes a camera; a display device; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to capture an image of the drawer and its contents using the camera, decode the captured image to identify the cosmetic items contained in the drawer and respective location of the identified cosmetic items, and display on the display device a notification of identified cosmetic items that have expired. An augmented reality display device highlights a group of cosmetic items determined to be compatible and within a freshness degree. The processing circuitry is configured to display on the mobile display a notification of a cosmetic item to apply, highlight the cosmetic item in the augmented reality display device, and record in a database usage information of the cosmetic item.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable media that use machine learning models to enable computing devices to detect and identify cosmetic products in face images. In some embodiments, a model training system may gather training data for building the machine learning models by analyzing face images associated with tagging data. In some embodiments, a recommendation system may be configured to use the machine learning models generated by the model training system to detect products in face images, and to add information based on the detected products to a look data store, and/or to provide recommendations for similar looks from the look data store based on the detected products.

Abstract: A system is provided that includes a hair dryer; a hairbrush; and a client device. The hairbrush is configured to sense a characteristic of at least one of the user's hair and the hair dryer, and to transmit information back to the hair dryer based on the sensed characteristic, and the client device is configured to communicate with the hair dryer and provide feedback to the user regarding a user's usage of at least one of the hair dryer and hairbrush based at least in part on sensed characteristic captured by the hairbrush.

Abstract: A method, system, and device for measuring and evaluating hair loss over time is disclosed. A instrumented comb device includes a power source, a controller, and associated sensors. The controller receives signals from the sensors, including a contact sensor to detect contact with a scalp and obtain a hair count, and a magnetic compass to determine location on the scalp. The controller includes one or more processors that acquire and record the detected contact information and determined location information as the comb device is stroked over a scalp, and measure hair density based on the contact information and location information. The instrumented comb can communicate with a remote information system or a mobile device for auxiliary processing and display. Machine learning of the remote information system allows for recognizing hair density or prediction of future trends in hair density over time using data recorded by the sensors.

Abstract: An instrumented comb, including bristles protruding from the handle, the bristles spaced apart from each other such that a first set of two or more bristles are spaced by a first distance, a second set of two or more bristles are spaced by a second distance, and a third set of two or more bristles are spaced by a third distance, wherein the third distance is greater than the second distance and the second distance is greater than the first distance. The comb includes a controller receiving signals from: a contact sensor to detect contact with a scalp, and a magnetic compass to determine location on the scalp. The comb uses the signals to record the detected contact information and determined location information as the comb undergoes a brushing gesture over a scalp, measure hair density based on the contact information and location information, and output the measured hair density.
