In some embodiments, the skincare device or the communication device can alert the user that the skin formula will be applied.

In some embodiments, a system for treating skin, the system comprising at least one cartridge containing a skin formula, a dispensing device configured to accept the at least one cartridge, and a processor communicatively coupled to the dispensing device, wherein the processor is configured to visualize an image of a user's skin, detect one or more features on the user's skin with image processing, and apply the skin formula onto the one or more skin conditions to the user's skin through an applicator on the dispensing device is disclosed.

In some embodiments, the skincare device is configured to accept one or more cartridges containing a skin formula. In some embodiments, the skin formula is a skin treatment, such as a wrinkle treatment or an acne treatment. In some embodiments, the skin formula is a cosmetic, such as a concealer, a brow tint, or an eyeliner. In some embodiments, the skin formula is both a skin treatment and a concealer.

FIGS. 1A-1B are example skincare devices, in accordance with the present technology. The skincare device 100 may include a body 105, a cartridge 110, and an applicator 190. In some embodiments, the skincare device 100 also has a handle 125. In some embodiments, the handle 125 and the body 110 are removably attached, but in other embodiments, the handle 125 and the body 110 are a single piece. In some embodiments, the skincare device 100 includes a user input 135.

As illustrated in FIG. 1A, the skincare device 100 may include a cartridge 110. In some embodiments, the skincare device 100 may have more than one cartridge 100. In some embodiments, the cartridge 110 may be attached to the body 105 of the skincare device 100, as illustrated in FIG. 1A, but in some embodiments, the cartridge may be disposed inside the body 105 of the skincare device 100 as illustrated in FIG. 2. In yet other embodiments, the cartridge 110 may be located on another portion of the skincare device 100, such as inside or on the handle 125.

In some embodiments, the cartridge 110 contains a skin formula. In some embodiments, the cartridge 110 includes a skin treatment, such as a wrinkle treatment or an acne treatment. In some embodiments, the skin formula is a cosmetic, such as a concealer, a brow tint, or an eyeliner. In some embodiments, the skin formula is a mixture of a wrinkle treatment or acne treatment and a concealer.

In some embodiments, the cartridge 110 has an identifier, such as a QR code or an RFID tag so that the skincare device 100 can identify the type of skincare formula.

While the user input 135 is illustrated as a button on FIG. 1A, the user input 135 can take any number of forms including a switch or a touch-type capacitive button. In operation, the user can actuate the user input to begin the imaging process described in detail herein. In some embodiments, the user can further actuate the user input to direct the device to apply the skincare formula.

In some embodiments, such as those illustrated by FIGS. 1A-1B, the applicator 190 is located on the body 105 of the skincare device 100. In some embodiments, the applicator is a mechanical pump. In some embodiments, the applicator is a solenoid pump. In some embodiments, the applicator is a microfluidic pump. In some embodiments, the applicator is a piezoelectric pump. In some embodiments, there is more than one applicator 190 on the skincare device 100. In some embodiments, all the applicators 190 dispense the same skin formula at different locations. In some embodiments, the applicators 190 may dispense different formulas, i.e. one applicator 190 dispenses wrinkle treatment, while another applicator 190 dispenses concealer. In some embodiments, the user can attach cartridge containing skin formula to the skincare device, apply the formula, and then swap out the cartridge for another cartridge containing a different skin formula, so the same applicator may dispense the first and the second skin formula. In operation, as a user moves the skincare device 100 over their face (as illustrated and described in FIG. 4), a skin formula may be dispensed by the applicator onto one or more features, providing a way to treat and/or conceal a portion of the user's skin.

FIG. 2 is an internal view of an example skincare device, in accordance with the present technology. In some embodiments, the skincare device 100 includes a cartridge 110, an accelerometer 120, a gyroscope 130, a contact sensor 150, a processor 160, a contact pin 165, a battery 170, an IR camera 175, a light source 180, and an optical system 185 disposed in the body 105 of the skincare device 100.

The illustrated skincare device 100 includes an accelerometer 120 and a gyroscope 130. In some embodiments, the accelerometer 120 and the gyroscope 130 are communicatively coupled to the processor 160. In operation, the accelerometer 120 measures the vibration or acceleration of the skincare device in the x, y, and z direction to determine the orientation of the skincare device 100. The gyroscope 130, in operation similarly detects the angular velocity and orientation of the skincare device 100.

In some embodiments, the skincare device 100 includes a contact sensor 150, communicatively coupled to the processor 160. In some embodiments, the contact sensor is configured to sense proximity to the user's skin. In some embodiments, the contact sensor is also communicatively coupled to a contact pin 165. In some embodiments, the contact pin is located on the same face of the skincare device 100 as the applicator 190. In operation, as a user moves the skincare device 100 across his or her face, the contact pin 165 detects the proximity between the skincare device 100 and the user's face (not pictured in FIG. 2). The contact pin can communicate this proximity to the contact sensor 150, which can likewise communicate to the processor 160, and then determine if the skincare device 100 is in close enough proximity to the face and a feature of the face to apply the skincare formula. While there is only a single contact pin 165 illustrated in FIG. 2, the skincare device 100 may have any number of contact pins 165. In some embodiments, each individual contact pin 165 gives a separate proximity so that skin formula is only applied by the applicator(s) 190 in the area in sufficient proximity with the user's face.

In some embodiments, the skincare device 100 includes a battery 170. Though battery 170 is further described, the skincare device 100 can include other power sources, for example, capacitors. In an embodiment, the battery 170 is a rechargeable battery 170 configured to receive electrical power from an external source when, for example, electrical power of the rechargeable battery 170 has been depleted. In another embodiment, the battery 170 is a single-use battery 170. In an embodiment, a useable life of the single-use the battery 170 corresponds to an intended use interval of the skincare device 100. As the skincare device 100 is used over time, it may become worn, dirty, or otherwise unsuitable to provide its intended benefits. In this regard, as the single-use battery 170 is used up and runs out of power, the skincare device 100 may be configured to signal to a user that the skincare device 100 is ready for replacement, cleaning, reconditioning, and the like.

In some embodiments, the skincare device 100 further includes an IR camera 175, a light source 180, and an optical system 185 communicatively coupled to the processor 160. In some embodiments, the light source 180 and the IR camera 175 are communicatively coupled to the optical system 185. In some embodiments, the skincare device further comprises an optical system configured to determine if the light conditions are suitable for detecting the one or more features of the user's skin. In some embodiments, the optical system 185 can sense as to whether the user is in adequate lighting conditions to detect a feature on the user's skin with the IR camera, as described in more detail in FIG. 3. If it is determined that the user is not in adequate lighting conditions, the light source 180 may illuminate the user's face to better detect the user's features. If this is still not enough light to detect the user's features, such as if the user is in a dark room, the skincare device 100 may alert the user to move to another location. After the lighting conditions are determined to be adequate to detect the user's features, the IR camera may visualize an image of the user's face.

As the user moves the skincare device 100 over his or her face, the IR camera visualizes images of the user's skin. The processor can then assign a probability to each pixel of each image as being either (1) a feature, (2) a facial landmark, or (3) normal skin based on the color of each pixel. In some embodiments, the feature is a wrinkle, a fine line, pigmentation, hyper pigmentation, or acne. In some embodiments, the feature is detected based on the color of the pixel. In some embodiments, the feature ranges from pink to red. In some embodiments, the feature is any color that is not the color of the user's normal skin. For example, the processor 160 may identify hyper pigmentation on a user's skin by identifying pixels that are pink or red in color. The processor can then apply a skin formula, such as a concealer to the area that is pink or red. In another example, the processor 160 may identify acne on a user's skin by detecting pixels that are pink or red in color and apply both an acne treatment and a concealer to the user's acne.

In some embodiments, the processor 160 detects wrinkles or fine lines on the user's face by detecting pixels that are darker in color than the user's skin tone on the user's face in an unbroken line segment across the user's face. In some embodiments, the processor assigns a probability to each pixel as being either a wrinkle or the user's unblemished skin based on color. In some embodiments, the processor 160 can then direct the applicator 190 to apply either a wrinkle treatment, a concealer, or both, effectively treating and concealing the wrinkle or fine line.

In some embodiments, the processor 160 sets a probability threshold for determining whether or not to apply skin formula to the pixels that have a probability of being a skin feature, such as a wrinkle, fine line, acne, pigmentation, or hyper pigmentation. In some embodiments, the probability threshold is hardcoded into the processor 160. In some embodiments, the probability threshold may be adjusted to the user's preferences or needs. For example, the threshold may need to higher if the skin feature and the user's skin tone are not very distinct from each other. The threshold may likewise be lowered when the desired skincare and the undesired skincare are distinct from one another, such as when a user has a lighter skin tone, and the feature is red or pink in color. In some embodiments, the probability threshold is set at 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%. If a pixel exceeds the probability threshold, the processor 160 directs the applicator 190 to apply skin formula to that specific area. In some embodiments, the processor 160 can detect one or more wrinkles by detecting an unbroken line of pixels on the user's face. In this case, if the average of the pixels within the unbroken segment exceeds the probability threshold, the processor 160 can direct the applicator 190 to apply the skin formula to the entire wrinkle on the user's face. In some embodiments, the applicator is configured to move so that it can apply the skin formula to the wrinkle without requiring the user to move the applicator over the wrinkle.

In some embodiments, the processor can determine the facial features of the user through a facial landmark algorithm. In some embodiments, when the processor 160 identifies a facial feature, the processor directs the applicator 190 to apply the skin formula. In some embodiments, the facial feature is an upper lash line, a lower lash line, a waterline, or an eyebrow. For example, the processor 160 may identify a user's upper lash line with a facial landmark algorithm, and then apply eyeliner to the user's upper lash line. In another example, the processor may identify a user's eyebrow with a facial landmark algorithm, and then apply brow tint to the user's eyebrow.

FIG. 3 is an example skincare system, in accordance with the present technology. In some embodiments, the skincare device 100 is communicatively coupled to a communication device 300. Although the communication device 300 is illustrated as a smartphone, the communication device 300 may take the form of a personal computer (PC), a laptop computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a smart phone, a tablet device, a UMPC (Ultra Mobile Personal Computer), a net-book, or a notebook type personal computer.

The communication device 300 is capable of performing wireless communication with the skincare device 100 by way of a wireless communication interface circuitry on the skincare device 100. However, communication device 300 is also capable of having a wired connection to the skincare device 100 by way of a USB interface on the skincare device. Additionally, each device, including the skincare device 100, may communicate with each other and the external one or more devices through an internet connection via an 802.11 wireless connection to a wireless internet access point, or a physical connection to the internet access point, such as through an Ethernet interface. Each connected communication device 300 is capable of performing wireless communication with other devices, such as through a Bluetooth connection or other wireless means as well.

The connected communication device 300 is configured to receive information from a user for use to start the imaging process and/or start applying skin formula. In some embodiments, the communication device 300 includes a user interface that allows a user to visualize one or more features 310a, 310b on the users face that treatment will be applied to. In some embodiments, these features 310a, 310b are highlighted or colored on the user interface to allow the user to better visualize the features. The feature 310a is an example wrinkle on the user's face that has been highlighted on the user interface. The feature 310b is an example eyebrow on the user's face that has been highlighted on the user interface. In some embodiments, the user can select one or more of the features 310a, 310b that are highlighted on the user interface to apply the skin formula to.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a method of treating a feature on a user's skin 400, in accordance with the present technology. In block 410, the method starts.

In block 420, the system optionally senses the light conditions in the location the user is at. The light conditions may be sensed with a light sensor. In some embodiments, the light sensor is on a dispensing device (such as dispensing device 100). In other embodiments, the light sensor is on a communication device (such as communication device 300). In some embodiments, the light sensor takes a light reading of the surrounding area to ensure that it will be able to visualize the user's skin and skin features as described herein. In some embodiments, the dispensing device, the communication device, or both alert the user to move into more optimal conditions to begin the visualization. In some embodiments, the user initiates the light sensor reading by actuating a user-input on the dispensing device or the communication device.

In block 420, the user's skin is visualized. In some embodiments, the user's skin is visualized with an image sensor or camera on the dispensing device, but in other embodiments, the user's skin is visualized with a communication device, such as the camera of a smartphone. In some embodiments, the user can move the dispensing device over their skin, such as their face. In some embodiments, the user may select a particular location, such as their eyebrows, cheeks, or forehead.

In block 430, the dispensing device detects one or more features on the user's skin with an image sensor. In some embodiments, the feature is a wrinkle, a fine line, pigmentation, hyper pigmentation, or acne. In some embodiments, the feature is an upper lash line, a lower lash line, a waterline, or an eyebrow. In operation the dispensing device, or the communication device, can detect the one or more features with image processing. In some embodiments, the dispensing device or communication device can detect the one or more features with cross-polarized light image processing. In some embodiments, the system can detect wrinkles by detecting discontinuing lines on the surface of a user's skin. In some embodiments, the system can detect wrinkles by detecting different types of curves on the surface of a user's skin. In some embodiments, a user's eyebrows can be detected by detecting large discontinuing lines on a user's face. In some embodiments, the system can detect landmarks, such as the eyes, eyebrows, nose, etc. In some embodiments, the one or more features can be detected by detecting color in a predetermined range, such as in the case of detecting pigmentation, hyper-pigmentation, or acne. In some embodiments, the predetermined range of color is from pink to dark red. In some embodiments, the predetermined range of color is the color of the user's eyebrows. In this manner, the device can detect one or more features and conceal, color, or treat them with precision.

Optionally, in block 440, the dispensing device senses its proximity to the user's skin with a contact sensor. In some embodiments, the user can move the device closer to or farther from their skin in order to ensure the skincare material is applied correctly, as described herein, in the target areas of the one or more features. In some embodiments, the dispenser alerts the user to move the device closer or farther from their skin. In some embodiments, the communication device alerts the user to move the device closer or farther from the user's skin.

Optionally, in block 451, the dispensing device alerts the user that it will start applying the skin formula. In some embodiments, the alert is an auditory alert. In some embodiments, the alert is a tone or a blinking LED. In some embodiments, the alert is issued on the communication device instead of the dispensing device. Alternatively, in block 452, the dispensing device waits to apply the skin formula until it receives a command from the user.

In some embodiments, the command is given by the user by actuating a user input. In some embodiments, the user input is a button, touch pad, or switch. In some embodiments, the command is given with the communication device, such as by a user actuating the touch screen of the communication device in response to a notification or pop up on the communication device.

In block 460, the skin formula is applied to the user's skin in the detected locations. In some embodiments, the user can move the dispensing device over their skin to apply the skin formula. In some embodiments, block 460 happens simultaneously with blocks 430 and 440, so as the dispensing detects the one or more features and ensures it is in proximity with the user's skin, it also applies the skin formula to the user's skin.

In operation, a user can move the dispensing device over their skin, the device can detect, for example, any wrinkles on the user's face, and the device can immediately apply wrinkle treatment and concealer to the user's wrinkles. Optionally, the user can move the dispensing device over their face times to ensure any wrinkles they have are filled in, treated, and concealed.

In block 470, the method ends.

FIG. 5 is an example dashboard 500 configured to be used in connection with skin care devices 100 as described herein, in accordance with the present technology. In some embodiments, a skin care device 100 is configured to communicatively couple with a smart device, such as a smartphone as illustrated in FIG. 3. In some embodiments, the smart device may take the form of a personal computer, tablet, laptop, or the like.

In some embodiments, the smart device is configured to display a dashboard 500. In some embodiments, the dashboard 500 may be displayed on the skin care device 100 itself.

In some embodiments, the dashboard 500 includes outputs to a user. In some embodiments, the outputs include an indicator of whether wrinkles are present and an intensity of wrinkles. These outputs should be understood as merely representative, and any sort of outputs may be included.

In some embodiments, the intensity of the wrinkles is determined by how deep the wrinkles are. For example, a user who has deep wrinkles would be considered to have “high” intensity wrinkles, while a user with fine lines would be considered to have “low” intensity wrinkles. In some embodiments, the output categorizes the wrinkles, such as by indicating the intensity as “deep” or “fine line”, such as shown in FIG. 5.

In some embodiments, the dashboard 500 further includes a set of options. While the options are illustrated as a drop-down menu, it should be understood that the options may be arranged and/or displayed in any form. In some embodiments, the options include a virtual try on, a button to apply a foundation or other skin care product, and product recommendations.

In some embodiments, the virtual try on will allow a user to see a desired foundation color or skin care product on themselves using the camera of the smart device. In some embodiments, the virtual try on allows a user to take a photo of their skin or face and overlay a desired color on the photo. In some embodiments, the virtual try on allows a user to use the camera of the smart device to capture images or video in real-time and overlay the color, finish, or treatment over the real time images or video of the user's skin.

In some embodiments, the apply foundation (or other skin care products) option acts as an actuator for the skin care device (such as skin care device 100). In such embodiments, the user can actuate the apply foundation option (such as by pressing a button or utilizing a touch screen) to apply the foundation from the skin care device. In some embodiments, actuating the “apply foundation” option results in dispensing a different skin care product, such as an acne treatment, a moisturizer, a primer, a bb or cc cream, or the like.
