Automatic coloring system and method

Abstract

An automatic coloring system and method are used for coloring a three-dimensional object. An electronic device executes a coloring design process to obtain a coloring procedure corresponding to the three-dimensional object. The coloring procedure has multiple coloring instructions sequenced according to each individual generation order thereof. A connecting interface electrically connects the electronic device to an automatic coloring machine in a separable manner, so as to output the coloring procedure from the electronic device to the automatic coloring machine. Finally, the automatic coloring machine directly executes the coloring instructions in the coloring procedure sequentially.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No. 101146207 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on 2012 Dec. 7, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present invention relates to a coloring technology, and more particularly to an automatic coloring system and method for coloring a three-dimensional object.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]Wanting to be beautiful is a natural human desire, so various major manufacturers provide the market with a wide variety of care products and cosmetics for consumers to purchase. However, in order to compose makeup a person likes and is suitable to the person, makeup techniques must be practiced repeatedly, and various cosmetics and makeup tools purchased, so as to draw various eyebrow shapes, various eye lines, eyelashes, eye contours, face makeup, labial makeup, appearance modification...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0015]In view of the above, the automatic coloring system and method according to the present invention are used for coloring a three-dimensional object. Herein, the electronic device executes a coloring design process to obtain a coloring procedure corresponding to the three-dimensional object. The coloring procedure has multiple coloring instructions sequenced according to each individual generation order thereof. Through separable electrical connection of the connecting interface, the coloring procedure is output from the electronic device to the automatic coloring machine. Then, the automatic coloring machine directly executes the coloring instructions in the coloring procedure sequentially. In other words, the automatic coloring system and method according to the present invention have the coloring design process (executed by the electronic device), and the actual coloring process (executed by the automatic coloring machine), that are separable, so that the user can design and exchange a colored pattern anytime anywhere. Further, the automatic coloring system and method according to the present invention enable an external device to provide a coloring procedure to be directly executed by the automatic coloring machine, thereby facilitating simplification of the structure of the automatic coloring machine. In some embodiments, by directly providing track information represented by three-dimensional coordinates, the automatic coloring machine can execute the actual coloring process more precisely. In some embodiments, by directly presenting a three-dimensional simulated image, the coloring action in the coloring design process is closer to that in the actual coloring process.

Problems solved by technology

However the difference in proficiency in the makeup techniques and the wide range of cosmetics usually results in a difference between the effect of the makeup and the effect expected by the consumer.

However, the real effect of manual makeup performed by the user is not necessarily equal to the effect presented by the simulation on the screen.
