Description

METHODS AND SYSTEM TO PROVIDE PERSONALIZED PREPARATIONS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to methods and systems for providing a consumer with cosmetic preparations for personalized beauty care.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Cosmetic preparations such as sunscreens, skin creams, fragrances, shaving creams, toiletries, nail products, deodorants, shampoos, conditioners, hair sprays, mousses, oils, vitamins, antibacterial mixtures, anti-acne mixtures, mixtures for dermatology, pharmaceutical mixtures, mascara, facial base, lipstick, hair dyes, cleansing creams and the like have long been used by consumers to aesthetically increase their physical appearance and self-esteem, to treat discomforts and for personal cleansing. The selection of an optimal product from a wide range of choices is a dilemma for consumers. In addition, the consumer can not make his choice in a private and comfortable establishment while selecting his product in a product establishment retail In addition, once the choice is made, the consumer is committed to their choice until the product is either consumed or disposed of. This commitment does not allow subsequent flexibility in mood, expected social status, skin condition and the like. Also, the consumer may not be satisfied with the impression that a product has, either as a result of his own perception or as someone else tells him. As a result, most consumers have a large number of unused products in their homes. These unused products often have expiration dates, which are rarely recognized by the consumer and therefore create potential health hazards for the consumer. Previous approaches to the personalization of cosmetics have focused on the point of sale that occurs in the establishment of retail products. For example, the methods allow a vendor to manually adjust the formulation of facial bases to match the color of the consumer's skin. More recent approaches have advanced this idea by providing automatic cosmetic supply devices in a retail store. These newer devices are operated by retail store personnel to produce a product that is packaged in a container and provided to the consumer. Although the aforementioned approaches partially satisfy the consumer's need for personalization, there are several significant drawbacks. For example, these approaches assume that a consumer will not change their way of thinking, with respect to the product purchased, on a frequent basis after using the product. Under any approach listed above, a change in the way of thinking on the part of the consumer requires that you buy another full container of cosmetic product. In addition, the consumer must physically visit the retail product establishment and again make selections in a public place. These approaches are inconvenient, expensive and result in an inventory of important cosmetics in the consumer's home. In addition, the expiration dates associated with the consumer's cosmetics inventory will often expire before the consumer runs out of the product. In addition, the cosmetic supply devices at the existing point of sale fill a container with a cosmetic product, which requires the product to be transferred to an applicator before being used by the consumer. For example, a customized facial cream from the point of sale is typically provided in a bottle at the retail store. Before the consumer uses the face cream • personalized, the cream must be transferred to the consumer's hand or on a pad where it is applied subsequently by the consumer. If the consumer is not happy with the personalized face cream, the whole bottle of cream will remain unused because the existing devices do not allow to supply a quantity of individual application of the facial cream on an intermediate surface for a single application by the consumer. In addition, consumers want more decision-making power with respect to cosmetic services. These decisions need to be made directly by the consumer, the existing methods and systems require the consumer to rely on an intermediary during the procedure of personalizing a cosmetic or a cosmetic service. Therefore, any environment where the consumer is directly providing cosmetic diagnosis data and receiving evaluation data in an effort to help the consumer with more decision-making power before selecting and purchasing cosmetic preparations and cosmetic services is desirable. Finally, the current supply of cosmetic preparations is limited to preparations consisting of stable, compatible and microbial-resistant compositions, this is so because some compositions can not be stored for any extended period or be supplied with certain attributes such as when they are present. warm or heated By providing customized cosmetic preparations for single-use applications, many applications of these otherwise prohibitive aspects of preparing and delivering preparations that are incompatible or otherwise unstable are eliminated. Accordingly, by altering the supply and assortment of cosmetic preparations, new and improved cosmetic preparations can be created and can be provided to the consumer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An illustrative embodiment of the present invention is modalized using standard mechanical pumps, mixing devices, heaters, dispensers, microprocessors and cosmetic ingredients well known in the art and easily combinable in accordance with the present invention. In addition, basic software programming techniques and technologies enabled by the global network (web) such as Java, Perl, C, C ++, and the like provide software programming languages that can be used to carry out the present invention, although a The person skilled in the art will appreciate that there are other computer languages and technologies that can be used to practice the present invention. Figure 1 illustrates a flow chart of a modality for a method of providing customized cosmetic. Initially, an interface is provided to a consumer in step 10 where the consumer provides diagnostic data and makes selections regarding cosmetic preparations and services. This interface can be personal, by phone or over the Internet (using standard Internet protocols such as TCP / IP, and the like), regular postal mail, through devices equipped with software logic to communicate cosmetic diagnosis data, mail electronic (e-mail), photographs of cameras or videos, special devices designed to collect cosmetic data (probes such as spectrophotometer, commometer, colorimeter, thermometer and the like), cosmetics consultants (personally or electronically assigned to a consumer) and the like. In addition, the interface is in a private establishment such as a consumer's home, a device directly operated by a consumer, an establishment that is not retail and the like. An establishment that is not retail products includes any establishment other than a traditional cosmetics module located in a department store. Therefore, a device located in a shopping center, hotel, bar, gas station, plane, amusement park, restaurants and others would be considered an establishment that is not retail products as long as the device is not located in a module of traditional cosmetics in the store. However, even when a device is located in the traditional cosmetics module, as long as the device is directly operated by the consumer, unlike the cosmetics module staff, the device would be in a private place. In step 20, the diagnostic data are acquired from the consumer, through the interface, these data include personal references (favorite colors, fragrances and the like), skin measurements or color (obtained from cameras, videos, probes, registers doctors and the like), health monitoring data (blood pressure, temperature, weight and the like), tickets provided by an advisor (obtained from doctors, beauty consultants, personal trainers, relatives, fashion consultants, teachers and the like), electronic data (obtained from designers, calendars, important dates, weather conditions, preferences of famous individuals, preferences of friends, family preferences, trends in fashion and the like), feedback connections (obtained from questions asked to the consumer, past choices, changes to previous cycles, changes based on display of output choices and the like) and others. In addition, diagnostic data can be acquired from devices that are used to interface with the consumer, said diagnostic data may include, by way of example only, levels of supply of starting materials, device maintenance needs, inputs of the installation and the like. In addition, these data may include data on the condition of the skin or hair (physical condition of the skin, dryness of the skin / hair, amount of oil on the skin / hair and the like), texture measurements (pores, wrinkles and the like) , color data (clearer data, color data, tone data and spectral data) and the like. As indicated in step 10, these diagnostic data can be communicated by a variety of methods. Once the diagnostic data is initially collected, the evaluation data is provided to the consumer in step 40. The evaluation data may include providing the diagnostic data to advisors such as medical / dental professionals, cosmetologists, beauty consultants, Personal trainers and similar. In addition, the evaluation data can be stored as data constants in an electronic system that identifies personal preferences of famous individuals, family members, friends, Popular cosmetic choices and the like. The evaluation data can also be standard computer algorithms that take the color, condition, texture and other measurements of a consumer directly, or indirectly, and produce a visual selection for the consumer. In addition, the evaluation data can be processed by a sales representative in a store, by telephone, door-to-door, consumer software, remote software and the like. Once the evaluation data is determined, they are provided as a feedback connection to any used diagnostic device and can provide advice to the consumer in step 30. In addition, the advisory data can provide executable instructions to a device of Customized cosmetic preparation (described below) that reports the device or percent of starting materials necessary to produce a cosmetic preparation, mixing times, mechanical pumping rates and the like. In addition, the advisory data may include application suggestions, instructions, device selection parameters and the like. In step 50, a consumer makes a selection for a cosmetic preparation or cosmetic service. This selection can be made with the help of a visualization device displaying the evaluation data to the consumer. During the selection, the consumer can modify and essentially ignore any evaluation data provided, thus selecting cosmetic preparations and services not suggested by the evaluation data. In this way, the consumer maintains the final decision by having authority regarding their cosmetic choices. A cosmetic preparation or service is provided to the consumer in step 55. The cosmetic preparation may be any mixture produced from the diagnostic data and evaluation data used by the consumer; A consumer can include chemists, professionals in pharmaceuticals and the like. The delivery of the personalized preparation can be done directly to a desired body site of a consumer, such as a fingernail, hair and the like. In addition, the preparation can be supplied to an intermediate surface such as a consumer's finger, an applicator and similar. In addition, the preparation can be supplied to a container such as a bottle, a bag and the like. The customized preparations can be directly supplied in step 90, in which case these preparations are provided illustratively by customized cosmetic delivery devices such as those described below although, as will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, other devices are possible. . Also, preparations can be provided by mail, or by e-mail (e.g., digital information used by devices within the consumer's home to supply cosmetics and fragrances directly to the consumer). In addition, information on how to formulate these preparations can be provided directly to the consumer by any electronic means either directly to the consumer or indirectly to a consumer device. consumer. Any of that device / apparatus that supplies a cosmetic preparation will need starting materials that are provided in step 70. The starting materials are provided illustratively as single-ingredient or multi-ingredient fluids wherein each fluid includes different / several ingredients or a single ingredient. In addition to cosmetic preparations, a consumer may receive cosmetic services as illustrated in step 80. These services include product recommendations, referrals to professionals, automatic reordering of device starting materials, automatic reordering of previously selected cosmetic preparations, communication with other consumer devices (consumer clock or coffee maker and the like), electronic dialogues with professionals, recommendations on the website and the like. Although Figure 1 illustrates the provision of a cosmetic preparation after receiving the diagnostic data of a consumer, a cosmetic preparation can actually initiate the diagnostic and evaluation process in such a way that a consumer is initially presented with a sample which is then used. as a basis to interact with the consumer to provide a customized preparation developed by the consumer. In addition, diagnostic data can be measured in a variety of ways including having the consumer purchase several preparation samples and selecting the most attractive sample. Figure 2 shows a flow diagram of a modality for a method to buy cosmetics. Initially, in step 100 an interaction with a consumer is established, this interaction is an interface as described in figure 1. The diagnostic data is received in step 110, the advisors are provided in step 120. These advisers can For example, algorithms implemented by software or real advisors where a consumer contacts either electronically or in person with a professional consultant. The consumer is provided with evaluation data in step 140 and advisory data in step 130. The consumer makes a selection for a specific cosmetic preparation or service in step 150 and the payment is received from the consumer in step 160. payment received from the consumer is provided illustratively by means of a standalone device where a consumer provides diagnostic data and receives evaluation data through a feedback connection implemented with software logic. Prior to the selection of a specific cosmetic preparation or cosmetic service, the consumer pays directly for the preparation or the service by directly providing the device or method with a means of payment. For example, in the case of a standstill, the consumer may use a credit / debit card or cash to pay for a service providing a cosmetic or service, and in the case of remote access a consumer may provide a credit account number. credit card or bank account or other convenient payment methods within which the payment can be purchased for the product or service.

The cosmetic jet is activated in step 170 and the preparation is dispensed in step 190. Any fluid that supplies the preparation is provided with fluids in step 180 that are mixed according to the selection made by the consumer to produce the preparation. desired cosmetic. Figure 3 illustrates a block diagram of one embodiment for a system 200 that provides customized cosmetics. An input interface 210 is provided which allows a consumer to interface directly either electronically, manually or in person with the system of step 200. A diagnostic device 220 collects diagnostic data from the client, as described above, which are used by an evaluation device 23. Optionally, a consumer can pay to receive a preparation or service of cosmetics by means of a payment device 240 (see fig., estanquillo). The consumer makes the final decision in which he receives cosmetic preparations or cosmetic services through a selection device 270 (eg, selections operated in the form of software, a storage deployment device with menus that provide choices, and Similar). The base 280 ingredients (single or multiple ingredient fluids) are provided to produce any required cosmetic preparations, while providing information data storage 290 to provide the consumer with cosmetic services. A supply interface 300 provides the mechanism for supplying a cosmetic preparation or service. A preparation is it can provide by means of a cosmetic supply device (which is described below) or through a software interface (worldwide network, e-mail, fax and the like) for advice on cosmetics services. Figure 4 illustrates an embodiment of a scheme for a customized cosmetic device. The device 310 includes cartridges 320, a video port 330, a communications port 340, a transparency selector 350, a color palette 360, a spout 370 and a surface 380. The device 310 houses one or more cartridges 320 where the fluids (ingredient) reside, which when combined in amounts activated by the consumer produce a customized cosmetic preparation 390 on a surface 380 of the device 310 or on an intermediate surface 390. Each cartridge 320 can accommodate one or more fluids. However, as will be appreciated, the cartridges 320 that house the fluids do not need to be required at all, since the fluids can easily be added to reservoirs included in the device 310 (not shown in the figure). 4). The ingredients are single-ingredient fluids or multiple ingredients such as waxes comprising various colors and consistencies necessary to produce a variety of cosmetic preparations, such as lipstick, eyeliner, lotion, powder, mascara and the like. The consumer provides selection and diagnostic data that will activate the quantities of fluids necessary to produce the customized cosmetic preparation 390. These selection and diagnostic data include the selection of color and product such as lipstick, eyeliner, lotion, powder, mascara and the like. The consumer provides this selection data through one or more input selection or diagnostic means attached or interfaced with the device 310, such as a color palette 360, a transparency picker 350, a video port 330 and a communications port 340. The video port 330 allows the device 310 to receive consumer selection and diagnostic data from devices such as a video, a digital camera, a television and the like. Communications port 340 allows device 310 to receive consumer selection data from devices such as digital telephones, computers, handheld computing devices, wireless communication devices, and the like. In addition, communication port 340 need not be a physical connection with device 310, rather, this port can be a wireless or infrared port. Also, communications port 340 could be connected to a sensor, which measures the color, humidity, amount of oil, texture, sensitivity of the skin and the like. These measurements can allow preselected algorithms to determine the optimal selection data for a consumer. In addition, a single-line LCD (not shown) may allow a consumer to enter selection and diagnostic data as a value Numeric that represents product and color choices. In addition, the communications port 340 and the video port 330 can be used by the device 310 to display to the consumer the color selections provided by the consumer. These selections are also available to the consumer through the color palette. As described above, consumers can provide selection data in a variety of ways to device 310. In fact, previously packaged selection data can be made available to the consumer through an automated telephone system or a worldwide network site Internet where the consumer can retrieve numerical codes that represent selection data needed to generate existing market products or shades / products that are compatible with existing products. In this way, the consumer can produce, on a basis of as necessary, a product that simulates branded products. In addition, these selections can be provided in an advertising material for branded products. Once the consumer has selected their color and product, the device 310 will calculate the appropriate fluid amounts necessary to produce the customized cosmetic preparation 390. The fluids are then properly supplied from the cartridges 320, mixed or heated as necessary to allow them to be discharged. of the device 310 and depositing them through a spout 370 on an intermediate surface 400 or a surface 380 fixed to the device 310. The spout 370 it can use a controlled assortment technology such as pressure spraying, twin fluid spraying, electrostatic spraying, mechanical screw extrusion, piezoelectric spraying, electronic deposition technology and the like. Customized cosmetic preparation 390 may leave device 310 in a number of ways such as spraying, bulk or coating. Figure 5 illustrates one embodiment of a scheme for a customized cosmetic device. In Figure 5, a cosmetic device 410 is illustrated wherein the device 410 is horizontal and is detached from a surface 420. Said device 410 will allow easy attachment to a wall in a consumer's home and make the use of the device more efficient. toilet space available in a consumer's home. Similarly to the device of Figure 4, the cartridges 430 that house the fluids are provided and the customized cosmetic preparation 440 is discharged from the device 410 through a spout 450. In addition, the customized cosmetic preparation 440 is capable of being directly discharged. on an intermediate surface 460, such as a lipstick applicator. Although not shown in Figure 5, a consumer input selection means can be provided in a variety of ways as described in Figure 4. In addition, consumer selection and diagnosis data can be displayed to the consumer before of downloading the customized cosmetic preparation 440. Figure 6 illustrates a modality of an internal scheme for a personalized cosmetic device. The internal schematic view more particularly illustrates a dispensing device of a customized cosmetic preparation device 470 and dispenser 480. The dispensing device illustrates how the fluids are combined in varying amounts to produce a personalized cosmetic preparation 490 on a surface 500. Figure 6 also illustrates how the fluids are discharged from the device 470 through a spout 480. The cosmetic device 470 may include a microprocessor 510, a data collector 520, cartridges 530, a pipe system 540, a mixer 550, a heater 560, an ejector 570 and a spout 480. After the selection and diagnostic data is received by the microprocessor 510 in the device 470, the signals are sent to the cartridges 530 through a data collector 520. signals urge the 530 cartridges to release the fluids in the proper amounts that are dictated by the selection and diagnostic data input to the microprocessor 510. The microprocessor 510 uses calculations, which are well known to those skilled in the art, to produce a formula that selects the appropriate quantities of the fluids contained in the cartridges 530. The fluids include such colorants such as cyano, magenta, yellow and the like, and pigments such as titanium, iron oxide, ultramarine blue and the like that allow the personalization of color. In addition, the fluids also include waxes, sunscreens, humectants, anti-aging and anti-aging agents, skin agents, cleansing agents, conditioners and similar. Once the appropriate entities of the fluids are released from the cartridges 530, they are pushed through a pipe system 540 that allows movement of the fluids from the cartridges 530 to the dispenser 480. The movement of the fluid can be achieved using Gravity but movement can be achieved through any mechanical means, such as a screw extruder and the like. Upon exiting cartridges 530, the fluids can be mixed using a 550 mixer or heated using a 560 heater. Mixing can occur using a static micromixer that is available from the Institute of Microtechnik (Maniz, Germany). The heater 560 increases the fluidity of the fluid when the fluid includes ingredients in the form of wax. further, the mixer 550 releases the mixed fluids in an ejector 570. The ejector 570 is movable, which allows uniform delivery of the personalized cosmetic preparation 490 on a surface 500 through the spout 480. As described above, the spout 480 is can be implemented using any technology or controlled supply technology combinations such as pressure spraying, twin fluid spraying, electrostatic spraying, mechanical thyme extrusion, piezoelectric spraying, electronic deposition technology and the like. Figure 7 illustrates an embodiment of an internal schematic view for a customized cosmetic device. The cosmetic device 580 includes a microprocessor 590, a data collector 600, cartridges 610, a piping system 620 for moving the fluid from the cartridges 610, and a dispenser 630. Again in Figure 7, the microprocessor 590 receives selection and diagnostic data that is used to drive the microprocessor 590 to issue commands through a manifold of data 600, causing specific amounts of the fluids contained in the cartridges 610 to be released in the piping system 620. However, in Figure 7, the fluids of the device 580 do not combine to form a customized cosmetic combination 640 on a surface 650, until the fluids accumulate on the surface 650 and have left the device 580 through a spout 630. In addition, the device 580 includes a spout 630 that travels back and forth by the action of a step motor ( not shown) in response to commands issued from the microprocessor 590. This movement of the spout 630 allows control of the placement of the fluids on the to surface 650 and creates color perceptions similar to those obtained, by way of example, from inkjet printing dyes on a paper medium. In addition, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the devices of Figures 4-7 do not need to have cartridges that house the fluid ingredients, since fluid reservoirs can be constructed directly in these devices obviating the need for any cartridges. In addition, the devices illustrated in Figures 4-7 could be modified to be a stash that is available for a The consumer uses it in a variety of environments where the consumer directly operates and pays to use the devices. The above description of the preferred embodiment of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form described. Many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the above teachings. Accordingly, it is intended that this invention encompass all alternatives, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.
