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: Various aspects and embodiments are directed to a streamlined computer device and a graphical user interface that organizes interface elements into views of computer content for presentation to a user. Various views of digital media content permits users to easily and efficiently access various digital media content. Different views are used to provide an interface that is responsive to configurations of the device and responsive to activity being performed by the user. Aspects include permitting the user to maintain and manage digital media content libraries. According to some embodiments, the libraries comprise user digital media content and references digital media content. Functionality provided to a user can be tailored to the type of content displayed, accessed and/or managed. According to various aspects, methods and systems are provided for accessing and managing digital media libraries on a streamlined computing device with a plurality selectable I/O profiles.

Abstract: A portable computer that is configurable between a plurality of display modes including a laptop mode (in which the portable computer has a conventional laptop appearance) and an easel mode in which the base of the computer and its display component stand vertically forming an inverted “V.” The portable computer includes a hinge assembly that couples the display component to the base of the computer, and allows the display component to be rotated about an axis along an interface between the display component and the base to configure the portable computer between a closed position, the laptop mode and the easel mode.

Abstract: Various aspects and embodiments are directed to a graphical user interface that organizes interface elements into views of computer content for presentation to a user. Different views of are used to provide an interface that is responsive to configurations of the device and activities performed by the user. Aspects include permitting the user to transition the device from one configuration to another during its use. The elements that comprise the graphical user interface are configured to present a summarized view of available actions and content to simplify user interaction. The different views present different organizations of the interface elements and in some examples display only certain modes of content in order to reduce the number of options a user must navigate. Methods and systems for streamlining user interaction with computer content are also provided. Streamlining includes, for example, pre-configuring a user device based on received information.

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.
