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.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a cosmetic apparatus configured to sense at least a motion of a cosmetic implement during application of a cosmetic substance to a 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 implement,
acquire guidance information corresponding to the received sensory information regarding the sensed motion, and
control output of information, based on the sensed motion, to the user, the information output to the user being guidance information on usage of the cosmetic implement to achieve a desired result of the application of the cosmetic substance to the skin surface of the user, wherein the guidance information includes at least one of image data, video data, audio data, and haptic data.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the client device is further configured to
receive input information from the user regarding the desired result using the cosmetic implement, and
to output guidance information on usage of the cosmetic implement to achieve the desired result.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the guidance information is based on sensed motions for a single continuous session of usage of the cosmetic implement, multiple sessions of usage of the cosmetic implement, or a combination thereof.

4. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the input information from the user is a selection of an image from a database.

5. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the input information from the user is in response to a prompt from the client device.

6. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the input information from the user is based upon user evaluation of an augmented reality of the desired result.

7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the client device, via the processing circuitry, is configured to actuate a discovery protocol that causes the client device and the cosmetic apparatus to identify each other and to negotiate one or more pre-shared keys, and wherein the cosmetic apparatus and the client device are configured to exchange encrypted and anonymized information using the pre-shared keys.

8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the client device, via the processing circuitry, is configured to actuate a validation protocol that causes the client device and the cosmetic apparatus to identify each other and to negotiate one or more pre-shared keys, and wherein the cosmetic apparatus and the client device are configured to exchange encrypted and anonymized information using the pre-shared keys.

9. A method implemented by a system that includes a cosmetic apparatus and a client device, the method comprising:
sensing, by the cosmetic apparatus, at least a motion of a cosmetic implement during application of a cosmetic substance to a skin surface of a user;
receiving, by the client device, sensory information transmitted wirelessly from the cosmetic apparatus regarding the sensed motion of the cosmetic implement;
acquiring, by the client device, guidance information corresponding to the received sensory information regarding the sensed motion; and
controlling, by the client device, output of information, based on the sensed motion, to the user, the information output to the user being guidance information on usage of the cosmetic implement to achieve a desired result of the application of the cosmetic substance to the skin surface of the user, wherein the guidance information includes at least one of image data, video data, audio data, and haptic data.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the client device receives input information from the user regarding the desired result using the cosmetic implement, and outputs guidance information on usage of the cosmetic implement to achieve the desired result.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the guidance information is based on sensed motions for a single continuous session of usage of the cosmetic implement, multiple sessions of usage of the cosmetic implement, or a combination thereof.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the input information from the user is a selection of an image from a database.

13. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the input information from the user is in response to a prompt from the client device.

14. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the input information from the user is based upon user evaluation of an augmented reality of the desired result.

15. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the client device actuates a discovery protocol that causes the client device and the cosmetic apparatus to identify each other and to negotiate one or more pre-shared keys, and wherein the cosmetic apparatus and the client device are configured to exchange encrypted and anonymized information using the pre-shared keys.

16. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the client device actuates a validation protocol that causes the client device and the cosmetic apparatus to identify each other and to negotiate one or more pre-shared keys, and wherein the cosmetic apparatus and the client device are configured to exchange encrypted and anonymized information using the pre-shared keys.
