The system may be used directly in communication with the consumer, or may automatically obtain the formula from other sources. The companion app may control the constituent elements of the system remotely via the digital hub. The formula preparing system may cause a personalized cosmetic formula to be prepared and packaged without complex or expensive equipment and without extensive cosmetic technical training for the operator of the system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for confident daily make-up application comprising a makeup compact and a client device. The system may be applied to specific facial features or entire faces for a complete style. The client device is configured to provide an interactive user experience by displaying templated instructions for makeup application. Templated instructions provide a ‘paint-by-numbers’ approach to daily makeup application. The makeup compact further comprises a client device housing, wherein the client device can be docked for the duration of makeup application and coaching. The client device housing is separated from a protective cover by a semi-transparent display that can allow for tactile interaction with the client device. The semi-transparent display, therefore, in this orientation, serves as a back projection plane, wherein the template instruction from the client device is communicated to the user as it appears on the semi-transparent display.

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 system is provided that includes a cosmetic apparatus configured to sense at least a motion of a cosmetic implement during application of a cosmetic substance to the skin surface of a user; and a client device having processing circuitry configured to receive sensory information transmitted wirelessly from the cosmetic apparatus regarding the sensed motion of the cosmetic apparatus, and control display of information about the sensed motion of the cosmetic apparatus to the user.

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.
