Patent number: 11676157Abstract: Systems and methods herein are developed which enable modification of an initial customized cosmetic product, wherein the initial customized cosmetic product is created based on an initial customized cosmetic product specification or an existing specification of a non-custom product. One such system and method for making a custom cosmetic product from an existing non-custom cosmetic product is configured to be capable of: characterizing a non-custom product with a known key comprised of at least one search component; providing user interaction to modify at least one of the at least one search components in this key to create a modified key; and using the modified key to produce custom product which may include determining manufacturing instructions. Such systems and methods may incorporate a custom or non-custom product attribute data base for providing product attribute data for modification and adjustment of the user search key using an adjustment service.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2019Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Shiseido Company, LimitedInventor: Leslie Y. Harvill

Patent number: 11445803Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a customized cosmetic formulation. In one method, a user is guided to capture an image of a skin region with known lighting and color characteristics, and the image is processed to provide calibrated skin color information. A customized cosmetic formulation is automatically determined for the user based on the calibrated skin color information. In another method, a user is interactively guided through capture of one or more skin region images using a device having an image sensor. The skin region images are processed to provide calibrated skin color information, which is compared to a ground truth data set to identify a set of closest known values in the ground truth data set. A customized cosmetic formulation is automatically determined for the user based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Shiseido Company, LimitedInventors: David A. Howell, David B. Gross, Leslie Y. Harvill
