[0046] This disclosure describes a cosmetic applicator system that minimizes, modifies, mitigates, changes, reduces, compensates for, or similarly mitigates involuntary displacements by stabilizing, orienting, utilizing, controlling, etc., an applicator for a user and is also designed to be flexible enough to accommodate different types of commercially available cosmetic applications. This disclosure further describes a system and features for enhancing the functionality of such a cosmetic applicator system.

[0047] The basic features and operation of a motion stabilization device for a cosmetic applicator are described in US Patent No. 11,458,062.

[0048] Figure 1 shows a conventional motion stabilization device 1100 that serves as a base unit for receiving a cosmetic applicator according to one embodiment. The device 1100 comprises a handle portion 1101, a receiver portion 1102, and a strap 1103. The receiver portion 1102 includes an interface 1104, shown as a male connector that couples with a cosmetic applicator, which will be discussed in detail below. The receiver portion can be used for communication between the base unit and the applicator. Connection to an adapter and / or to an applicator can be accomplished using a mechanical coupling, such as a screw or snap fitting, or it can be accomplished using magnets.

[0049] Figure 2 shows how the device 1100 couples with an adapter 1105 and a makeup applicator 1106. It can be seen that the adapter fits onto the exposed end of the receiving portion 1102. The adapter includes electrical coupling connectors (a female connector - not shown) in a recessed part to make contact with the electrical interface of the receiving portion 1101.

[0050] As shown in [Fig. 2], the receiving portion 1102 is configured to contort, articulate, reposition, etc., between an upright position (as shown in [Fig. 1]) and an inclined posture (as shown in [Fig. 2]). This is achieved using a hinge mechanism contained within the receiving portion 1102. [Fig. 2] shows that the hinge mechanism is a self-leveling / motion-stabilizing hinge.

[0051] Figure 3A shows a diagram of the internal components of the device 1100 according to one embodiment. In the handle portion, the device includes a power supply 1301, which may be a battery or similar. The device includes a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) 1302, which may include position sensor circuitry 1307, reader circuitry 1308, control circuitry 1309, and a communication interface 1310, as included in Article 1100.

[0052] For example, as sensor circuitry 1307, the PCBA may include at least one inertial sensor and at least one distributed motion sensor to detect involuntary muscle movements and measure signals related to these involuntary muscle movements that are created when a user negatively affects a movement of the applicator. These sensors also detect the movement of the stabilized output relative to the device. The control circuitry sends voltage commands to the motion-generating elements (described below) in response to the signals to cancel the user's involuntary muscle movements or tremors. This cancellation maintains and stabilizes the applicator's position, keeping it stable.

[0053] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that a system and method according to the present invention can use various implementations of the control circuitry and sensor circuitry that would be within the spirit and scope of the present invention. In one embodiment, the control circuitry 1309 comprises an electrical system capable of producing an electrical response from sensor inputs such as a programmable microcontroller or a user-programmable pre-diffused array (FPGA). In one embodiment, the control circuitry comprises an 8-bit programmable microcontroller. ATMEGA8A manufactured by Atmel due to its low overall cost, low power consumption and ability to be used in high volume applications.

[0054] In one embodiment, at least one inertial sensor in the sensor circuitry is a sensor comprising, but not limited to, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or a combination of both. In one embodiment, at least one motion sensor distributed in the sensor circuit is a non-contact position sensor comprising, in particular, a Hall effect magnetic sensor.

[0055] The system created by combining the sensor circuitry, control circuitry, and motion-generating elements can be a closed-loop control system that detects motion and acceleration at various points in the system and transmits detailed information to a control algorithm that moves the motion-generating elements appropriately to cancel the net effect of involuntary muscle movements of a user and thus stabilize the applicator's position. The operation and details of the control system elements and the control algorithm are included in the art, as described in US PG Publication 2014 / 0052275A1.

[0056] The communication interface 1310 may include a network controller such as BCM43342 Wi-Fi, frequency modulation and a Broadcom Bluetooth combo chip, for interfacing with a network.

[0057] In the receiving portion of the device, there may be two drive elements to allow three-dimensional movement of the receptacle as an anti-shake function. The two moving elements comprise a y-axis moving element 1303 and an x-axis moving element 1304, each connected to and controlled by the PCB A 1302. Each of the moving elements may be servomotors as defined in the article. The device further includes a terminal effector coupling 1305, which is configured to couple with the adapter 1105. The terminal effector coupling 1305 may include a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader 1306, configured to read an RFID tag, which may be included with the applicator, as will be discussed below.

[0058] Figure 3B shows a diagram of an alternative embodiment of the device 1100 in which the receiving portion comprises an electromagnetic positioner 1311 instead of the driving elements shown in Figure 3A. The electromagnetic positioner 1311 may include U-shaped magnetic cores 1312 arranged around a non-magnetic tube 1313 filled with a magnetic fluid 1314. Each of the magnetic cores has arm portions surrounded by windings 1315. The magnetic cores can be controlled by the control circuitry of PCB A 1302 to act as a field-generating structure A controllable active magnetic field is used to generate a variable magnetic field that acts on the magnetic fluid, causing it to move, thus allowing the armature to be moved to the desired position and / or coordinate orientation. Details of the implementation of the 1311 electromagnetic positioner are found in US Patent No. 6,553,161.

[0059] In the conventional motion stabilization device described above, there is a problem, namely that the interface 1104 which receives the adapter 1105 requires a specific attachment point to align correctly with the interface.

[0060] Therefore, the embodiments below provide a universal adapter connection between the handle of the motion stabilization device in order to improve the user experience and reduce the difficulty and time required to set up the system for use.

[0061] In one embodiment, this disclosure relates to a cosmetic applicator. The cosmetic applicator can be used for a variety of cosmetic applications, including, but not limited to, mascara, eyeliner, eyebrow products, lip products (lipstick, lip gloss, lip pencil, etc.), skin and / or hair products. In one embodiment, the cosmetic applicator may include an adapter, the adapter being able to connect the cosmetic applicator to a motion stabilizer. The motion stabilizer may be, for example, a handle that can prevent involuntary movements such as shaking or spasms. These movements can interfere with the application of cosmetics and can also make general interaction with applicators or cosmetic tools difficult.For example, many cosmetic products require movement or twisting force to open or extrude the product. It can be difficult for users to achieve the necessary range of motion or precision to apply these forces to the cosmetic product. In one embodiment, the cosmetic applicator can hold a cosmetic product and can allow the appropriate force to be applied to the cosmetic product to open, close, mix, stir, agitate, extrude, or achieve other similar functions necessary for application.

[0062] Figure 4 shows an overview of a cosmetic attachment device comprising a motion stabilizer device 150 and a cosmetic adapter 100, according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The motion stabilizer device 150 may include at least one of a handle portion 151 and a hinge portion 152 (receiving portion). In one embodiment, the handle portion 151 is functionally similar to the handle portion 1101 shown in Figure 1. The receiving portion 152 may be functionally similar to the receiving portion 1102 shown in Figure 1. In one embodiment In this embodiment, the motion stabilizer device 150 as a whole is referred to herein as a motion stabilizer handle. In one embodiment, the cosmetic attachment device includes a cosmetic adapter 100, wherein the adapter 100 can be coupled to the receiving portion 152 of the motion stabilizer device 150. In one embodiment, the cosmetic adapter 100 carries a cosmetic tool or product. In one embodiment, the cosmetic adapter 100 can be a universal adapter configured to carry different types of cosmetic products. For example, the adapter 100 may include a ring-shaped cosmetic holder. Various configurations of the adapter 100 can be used for different cosmetic products and tools. For example, the shape and dimensions of the cosmetic holder can be configured for different cosmetic products.The 100 adapter can be easily attached to and removed from the motion stabilizer. The basic features and operation of the cosmetic attachment device of [Fig. 4] are described in pending US patent applications 18 / 091,882; 18 / 091,920; 18 / 091,843; 18 / 091,925; 18 / 148,957; and 18 / 148,880; and 18 / 148,930.

[0063] In one embodiment, the adapter 100 is coupled to the receiving portion 152 of the motion stabilizer 150 via a magnetic attachment. The base or lower end of the adapter 100 may form a chamber that can be inserted onto a protrusion at the end of the receiving portion 152. The lower end of the adapter body may include at least one magnet, at least one magnet being attracted to and attaching to a magnet in the receiving portion 152. In one embodiment, the chamber formed at the base of the adapter 100 can be fitted onto the receiving portion 152 in more than one orientation. The chamber may be a hollow area within the adapter body that is entirely contained by the walls of the adapter 110. The chamber may be approximately conical in shape. In one embodiment, the chamber is cylindrical.The chamber can be configured to fit onto a protrusion on one end of the motion stabilizer. The chamber can be used to align and guide the cosmetic applicator attachment onto the motion stabilizer. Fitting the chamber onto and around the protrusion at the end of the motion stabilizer limits lateral movement that would misalign the cosmetic applicator and the motion stabilizer. It may be easier for a user to align the chamber with the end of the motion stabilizer than for a user to align the edges of the circular face of the adapter with the edges of a circular face of the motion stabilizer. The chamber may have rotational symmetry so that the cutout can be placed on the end of the motion stabilizer in any orientation or at any degree of rotation around the chamber's axis. The lower end. The adapter body may include additional physical structures that can align, guide, and fix the adapter to the motion stabilizer.

[0064] Figure 5A shows an illustration of an adapter 100 according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The adapter 100 may include an adapter body 110, the adapter body 110 being able to be connected to the motion stabilizer 150. The adapter body 110 may be connected to, or form the base or body of, a cosmetic holder 120. Each of these components will be discussed in more detail in this document. Various configurations of the adapter 100 can be used for different cosmetic products and tools. For example, the shape and dimensions of the cosmetic holder 120 can be configured for different cosmetic products. The adapter 100 can be easily attached to and removed from the motion stabilizer, as will be discussed herein. In one embodiment, the adapter 100 can extend the range of motion of a cosmetic applicator to allow for the movements necessary for cosmetic application.In some embodiments, the adapter 100 can be attached to a post or trolley for further actions to be performed with a cosmetic carried by the cosmetic applicator.

[0065] Figure 5B is a transparent side view of the adapter 100, according to one embodiment of this disclosure. The adapter body 110 can be approximately formed as a straight cylinder. One end of the adapter can be attached to one end of a motion stabilizer. The motion stabilizer can be a cylindrical rod forming a handle that the user can grasp. The first end can also be referred to hereafter as the lower end or base of the adapter. The lower end of the adapter body 110 can include at least one magnet, at least one magnet being attracted to and attaching to a magnet in the motion stabilizer. The lower end of the adapter body 110 can include additional physical structures that can align, guide, and secure the adapter to the motion stabilizer.In one embodiment, the lower end of the adapter body 110 can form a chamber 112, as shown in the transparent view of [Fig. 5B]. The chamber can be a hollow area within the adapter body 110 that is entirely contained by the walls of the adapter 110. The chamber 112 can be approximately conical in shape. In one embodiment, the cutout can be cylindrical. The chamber 112 can be configured to fit onto a protrusion at one end of the motion stabilizer. The chamber 112 can be used to align and guide the cosmetic applicator attachment onto the motion stabilizer. Fitting the chamber 112 onto and around the protrusion at the end of the motion stabilizer limits lateral movement that would misalign the cosmetic applicator and the motion stabilizer. This can make it easier for the user. The user must align the chamber 112 with the end of the motion stabilizer, aligning the edges of the circular face of the adapter with the edges of the circular face of the motion stabilizer. The chamber 112 may have rotational symmetry so that the cutout can be placed on the end of the motion stabilizer in any orientation or at any degree of rotation around the axis of the chamber 112. At one end, a magnet can be attached to the tip of the chamber, inside the adapter body. The magnet at the tip of the cutout can be attached to a magnet at the end of the protrusion on the end of the motion stabilizer.

[0066] The cosmetic holder 120 can be located at a second end of the cosmetic applicator. In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 can be a ring into which a cosmetic tool or product can be inserted. Many cosmetic tools, such as mascara wands, lipstick applicators, concealer applicators, and cosmetic pencils, are approximately cylindrical. In one embodiment, the ring can secure the cosmetic tools to the wider part of the tool. A ring-shaped cosmetic holder can also carry cosmetic tools of various shapes, such as cuboids. In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 can include one or more projections along the inner wall of the cosmetic holder and extending outward to the center of the cosmetic holder.Contact and friction between one or more protrusions and an inserted cosmetic tool can result in a more secure grip or hold of the cosmetic holder around the inserted tool. In some embodiments, the inner wall of the cosmetic holder 120 can be coated with a material that can improve the grip or hold of the cosmetic holder around the inserted tool. The improved grip may be due to a property of the material, such as a coefficient of friction or a deformation of the material. For example, the inner wall may be coated with rubber or silicone. In one embodiment, the coating material may be a textured material with grooves, ridges, bumps, or similar features that prevent movement or slippage of the cosmetic tool once it is inserted into the cosmetic holder 120.

[0067] Various cosmetic holder configurations are compatible with the cosmetic applicator 100. In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder may be an open ring or a C-shaped cosmetic holder. In another embodiment, the cosmetic holder may be a loop, in which the ends of the loop may overlap. In another embodiment, the cosmetic holder may be one or more wound loops. In another embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 may be a tube or a sheath forming a chamber inside the tube, a tool A cosmetic product can be inserted into the chamber. In one embodiment, the tube can be closed at one end to hold a cosmetic tool or product within the chamber. In one example, the tube can be approximately cylindrical. In another example, the sleeve can be a partial cylinder, such as a half-cylinder that does not completely wrap around the inserted cosmetic. In one embodiment, the size of the cosmetic holder 120 can be modified. For example, the cosmetic holder 120 can be a round holder, in which the diameter of the holder can be modified to accommodate different cosmetic tools. A pushing force on a point along the outside of the cosmetic holder can compress it to a smaller diameter. A pulling force on a point along the inside of the cosmetic holder can extend the cosmetic holder to a larger diameter.In one embodiment, force can be applied at a single point along the cosmetic holder to allow for one-handed adjustment of the holder's diameter. In another implementation, a user may receive several cosmetic holders, each having different dimensions or shapes for different tools or cosmetic products. A cosmetic holder 120 can be removed from the adapter body 110 and replaced with another suitable configuration.

[0068] In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 can be attached to the adapter body 110 with a joint 115, such as a ball joint. The ball joint can allow movement of the cosmetic holder 120 relative to the adapter body 110. For example, the cosmetic holder 120 can be rotated in place or can pivot to form an angle with the adapter body 110. The joint can be configured for continuous movement of the cosmetic holder 120 or for discrete movement steps. In some embodiments, the movement of the cosmetic holder 120 can be constrained. For example, the adapter 110 can form a walled channel, in which the joint is disposed inside the walled channel. The walls of the channel can constrain the movement of the joint and / or the cosmetic holder 120. In one embodiment, the joint 115 can be a motorized component.The 120 cosmetic holder can move thanks to the motorized component without requiring external force from the user.

[0069] Figure 5C is a view of the underside of the adapter body 110, according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The underside of the adapter body 110 can be approximately a circle since the adapter is a right cylinder. A magnet 111 can be disposed on the underside of the adapter. In one embodiment, the magnet 111 can be a uniform ring-shaped magnet, as illustrated in Figure 5C. For example, the magnet 111 can be in the shape of a washer. The ring-shaped magnet 111 can be attracted to and attached to a magnet arranged along the circumference of one end of the motion stabilizer. In some embodiments, the adapter body 110 can be attached to the motion stabilizer in any orientation due to the ring magnet 111. The adapter body 110 can be fixed to the motion stabilizer by any rotation of the adapter 100 around the central axis of the adapter. In one embodiment, the adapter 100 can be a universal adapter and can fix a magnetic end of the motion stabilizer in any orientation regardless of the positioning and / or polarity of the magnets at the end of the motion stabilizer. Any part of the ring magnet 111 at the base of the adapter can come into contact with the magnets on the motion stabilizer to attach the adapter to the motion stabilizer.

[0070] The ring magnet 111 of this disclosure offers an advantage over traditional motion stabilizer adapters. For example, some motion stabilizers may include two magnets located diametrically opposite each other on a circular face of the motion stabilizer. Most traditional adapters include two magnets at the base for attachment to a motion stabilizer. The adapter can only be attached to the motion stabilizer if the two magnets on the motion stabilizer align with the two magnets in the same position on the adapter. In some versions, the polarity of the magnets on the motion stabilizer may also differ, so that each magnet on the motion stabilizer will be attracted to only one of the two magnets on the adapter.The orientation limitations of traditional adapters can pose problems for users attempting to attach them to motion stabilizers. For example, users may lack the precise movement required to align the magnets as needed for attachment. Furthermore, the orientation limitations of traditional adapters also restrict the orientation of the tool or instrument held by the applicator. When applying cosmetics to or near the face, it may be desirable for the applicator to be able to be attached at various angles and orientations, or for its orientation to be adjustable. For instance, some mascara wands are curved. The mascara wand needs to make contact with the eyelashes so that the curvature of the applicator conforms to the curvature of the eye.It can be very difficult to achieve this position if the adapter holding the mascara wand can only be attached to the motion stabilizer in one orientation, as with traditional adapters that have a limited number of magnets in specific positions. In contrast, an adapter with a ring-shaped magnet, like the one in [Fig. 5C], can be attached to the motion stabilizer in any orientation. The adapter can be rotated until the mascara wand... or any other cosmetic tool, either in the desired orientation for application, and then attached to the motion stabilizer with contact between the ring-shaped magnet and any magnet located on the face of the motion stabilizer. The motion stabilizer can be maneuvered into various positions while the attached applicator and cosmetic product also move. For example, the orientation of the attached applicator and cosmetic product can change when the user applies the cosmetic. Attaching the applicator to the motion stabilizer without orientation increases the range of movement of the attached cosmetic.

[0071] In one embodiment, the adapter body 110 may include a gear ring, teeth, or similar alignment structures 116. The alignment structures 116 may be located at the base of the adapter and may be concentric with the ring-shaped magnet 111. In one embodiment, the alignment structures may be located along the inner wall of the cutout at the lower end of the adapter. In some embodiments, the alignment structures 116 may insert or interlock with corresponding alignment structures on the motion stabilizer when the adapter is attached to the motion stabilizer. The alignment structures 116 may limit the rotation of the cosmetic applicator once the adapter has been attached to the motion stabilizer.Some motion stabilizers can rotate to counteract any rotational force applied to the stabilizer, ensuring that an attachment to the stabilizer (such as a cosmetic applicator) remains stable. This anti-rotation mechanism can be helpful for users who experience sudden, involuntary movements while holding the stabilizer. In one embodiment, the alignment structures 116 may be a ring of raised studs or tooth-like structures that fit into corresponding grooves or receptacles on the end of the motion stabilizer attached to the base of the adapter.In one embodiment, the alignment structures 116 may be a ring of recessed structures or a combination of raised and recessed structures that can fit into corresponding raised and / or recessed structures at the end of the motion stabilizer. Fitting the alignment structures 116 into complementary structures at the end of the motion stabilizer can fix the cosmetic applicator in place once the adapter has been attached to the motion stabilizer. Any rotation of the motion stabilizer to counteract any involuntary movement of the user will therefore be transmitted to the cosmetic applicator to maintain the orientation of the cosmetic applicator once the cosmetic applicator is attached to the motion stabilizer.

[0072] The alignment structures 116 can provide a range of discrete orientations to which the adapter can be attached to the motion stabilizer. For example, the adapter can only be attached to the motion stabilizer when each of the alignment structures 116 in [Fig. 5C] is aligned with a corresponding embedded structure in the motion stabilizer. If the alignment structures 116 are not aligned with the embedded structures and do not sit on them, the adapter will not be properly attached to the motion stabilizer. However, the symmetry of the repeated alignment structures 116 still allows the adapter to be attached at a number of rotations (e.g., 10+ rotation options) for easy attachment.

[0073] Figure 5D shows how the adapter 100 holds a specific cosmetic applicator, such as a lipstick applicator, in the cosmetic holder 120. While a lipstick applicator is shown, the cosmetic holder can hold many other types of applicators, such as mascara and nail polish applicators. Unlike the adapter 1105 in Figure 1, the cosmetic holder 120 holds the applicator at an angle perpendicular to the handle of the motion stabilizer 150. This allows for a more relaxed and ergonomic hand position for the user when using the cosmetic applicator.

[0074] Figure 6A is an illustration of the adapter 100 with a cutaway view of the adapter body 110, according to an embodiment of this disclosure. In one embodiment, the adapter body 110 may include an outer shell 113, the outer shell 113 enclosing an inner body 114. The inner body 114 may be attached to a motion stabilizer via the magnetic attachment described herein with reference to Figure 5C. In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 may be attached to the outer shell 113. The attachment of the cosmetic holder 120 to the outer shell 113 may allow movement of the cosmetic holder 120 that is independent of the movement of the inner body or the motion stabilizer. The attachment of the cosmetic holder 120 to the outer shell 113 can be clamped within the adapter body 110.In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 can be attached to the outer shell 113 along a series of notches in the outer shell. The notches can be, for example, a series of indentations, grooves, teeth, or similar features, such as the indentation structures 117 in [Fig. 6A]. The position of the cosmetic holder 120 can be changed by moving it linearly along the series of notches, so that the cosmetic holder 120 can be secured in place on each of the notch structures 117. In one embodiment, the base of the cosmetic holder 120 can include a projection that fits into each of the notch structures 117. The projection can snap into place when positioned at or against each of the notch structures 117 to temporarily lock the holder. The cosmetic holder 120 can be positioned at an angle within a single plane. The plane of the face (opening) of the cosmetic holder 120 can remain constant, while its angular position can be adjusted. A user can apply force to position the cosmetic holder 120 at any of the notched structures 117. The cosmetic holder 120 can thus be tilted relative to the central axis of the adapter body 110 and the attached motion stabilizer. In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 can be attached to the adapter body 110 with a two-axis adapter. The angle of the cosmetic holder 120 can be adjusted as described with reference to the notched structures 117. Alternatively, the plane of the opening of the cosmetic holder 120 can also be adjusted by rotating the cosmetic holder 120 for two-axis movement.For example, the cosmetic holder 120 can rotate axially at or near its attachment point to the adapter body 110. In one embodiment, the rotation of the cosmetic holder 120 can be modulated with notches or similar structures to provide a number of fixed rotation positions for the cosmetic holder 120. For example, the cosmetic holder 120 or the adapter body 110 may include an internal gear or ratchet structure, the cosmetic holder 120 being able to be rotated by several degrees to engage the teeth of the internal gear. The cosmetic holder 120 can be temporarily locked in the rotational position when the teeth are engaged.

[0075] Figure 6B is a side view of the adapter 100 with a cutaway view of the adapter body 110, according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The inner body 114 of the adapter body 110 can form the chamber 112, as described herein. Various shapes and dimensions of the chamber 112 are compatible with the present adapter 100. In one embodiment, the outer shell 113 can extend beyond the end of the inner body 114. The outer shell 113 can surround the attachment point of the adapter 100 to a motion stabilizer or other compatible structure and can prevent the adapter 100 from being displaced from the attached structure. In some embodiments, the magnetic ring can be formed at the base of the inner body 114.

[0076] Figure 6C is a transparent view of the outer shell 113 of the adapter 100, according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The outer shell 113 can form a cavity surrounding the inner body 114. In one embodiment, the inner body 114 can rotate relative to the outer shell 113 while the outer shell 113 and / or the cosmetic holder 120 are fixed in place and do not rotate. For example, the inner body 114 can rotate to counteract an unintentional rotational displacement of the motion stabilizer or the adapter 100. The rotation of the inner body 114 is not transferred to the cosmetic holder 120 because the cosmetic holder 120 is not in contact with the inner body 114. Similarly, the shell's fit external 113 around the internal body 114 may include a space between the external shell 113 and the walls of the internal body 114 so that the rotation of the internal body 114 is not translated to the external shell 113.

[0077] Figure [Fig. 0D] is a transparent view of the inner body 114 of the adapter 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The inner shell 114 can form the chamber 112, as described herein. The chamber 112 can extend to the top of the inner body. In one embodiment, the chamber 112 can be formed as a central cylinder with two cylinders adjacent to the central cylinder, as illustrated in Figure [Fig. 0D]. The shape and symmetry of the chamber 112 can depend on the planned attachment to a motion stabilizer or other structure. In one embodiment, the shape of the chamber 112 can depend on the desired displacement of the adapter 100. For example, a chamber with infinite symmetry can be attached to a motion stabilizer in any orientation and can remain stationary when the motion stabilizer rotates.In another example, a camera with limited axes of symmetry may result in a fixed number of orientations to which the adapter can be attached to the motion stabilizer.

[0078] In one embodiment, attaching the cosmetic applicator to the motion stabilizer can activate at least one sensor to indicate that the adapter body 110 has been successfully attached to the motion stabilizer. This at least one sensor can be, for example, a Hall effect sensor that can detect and respond to the magnetic field produced by the adapter and / or the motion stabilizer. In one embodiment, this at least one sensor can be a pressure-activated sensor. Alternative sensors known to those skilled in the art may be compatible with the systems and devices disclosed herein. In one embodiment, this at least one sensor can detect when the cosmetic applicator has not been properly attached to the motion stabilizer. For example, a Hall effect sensor can detect a partial magnetic field from the adapter with a magnitude lower than an expected magnitude.The partial magnetic field may indicate that part of the ring-shaped magnet on the adapter is physically shielded or has failed to produce a magnetic field. In one embodiment, data from at least one sensor can be used to notify a user to inspect the cosmetic applicator or to reattach the cosmetic applicator.

[0079] In one embodiment, the adapter 100 may include one or more sensors and / or an integrated circuit. The one or more sensors may include, in particular, pressure sensors, light sensors, weight sensors, voltage or force sensors, a Hall effect sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or the like. The data from the one or more sensors may be used to identify when a cosmetic product has been inserted into or attached to the applicator. cosmetics. In one embodiment, data from one or more sensors can be used to identify physical characteristics of an attached cosmetic product, such as its size, shape, or weight. In one embodiment, data from one or more sensors can relate to a movement of the cosmetic applicator 100 or to a movement of an attached component, such as the attached cosmetic product or the motion stabilizer. In one embodiment, data from one or more sensors can be transmitted from the cosmetic applicator to a remote device, such as a server or a user device. In one embodiment, the cosmetic applicator can receive data, including instructions, from the same remote device or from a second remote device. Further details on the network

[0080] In one embodiment, the system described above includes automatic adapter detection functionality to activate protocols specific to the motion stabilization device 150. For example, the motion stabilization device 150 can automatically detect different adapters used for different cosmetic products such as lipstick, mascara, etc. As soon as the adapter is connected to the handle of the motion stabilization device 150, the handle will automatically recognize which type of adapter (e.g., lipstick or mascara) is attached and load a specific set of protocols developed for that specific application.

[0081] Figure 7 shows a functional diagram of the communication hardware elements in the stabilizer device 150 and the adapter. The adapter includes a communication interface 701, and the receiving portion of the stabilizer device includes a communication interface 702. In one example, the communication interfaces are a near-field communication (NFC) interface (where element 702 is a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader configured to read an RFID tag 701). In addition, the receiving portion of the stabilizer device includes the Hall effect sensor 704 described above. Thus, the RFID reader can be activated in response to the Hall effect sensor 704 detecting the insertion of the adapter 100. Alternatively, each of the interfaces 701 and 702 functions as a Bluetooth interface in another example, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interfaces.

[0082] The interface 702 in the receiving portion is connected to the PCB A 703 which is coupled to or includes a memory 705 which stores various protocol information.

[0083] Once the device 150 recognizes the presence of the adapter 100, it receives information about the specific adapter type based on the information stored on the communication interface 701. The communication interface 702 then transmits the information to the PCB A 703, which stores specific protocols in the device software that targets specific gestures and movements for the specific connected adapter (i.e., if the lipstick adapter is attached, the device will use the lipstick gesture protocols)

[0084] For example, as shown in [Fig. 8], a first set of protocols 801 for a lipstick may include parameters specific to the initial orientation angles of the stabilizer, as well as settings for pressure sensitivity, power consumption, and initial lipstick deployment. Whereas a second, different set of protocols 802 for a mascara may include different parameters specific to the initial orientation angles of the stabilizer, as well as settings for pressure sensitivity, power consumption, and mascara saturation.

[0085] There can be multiple adjustments to each protocol depending on the adapter and applicator. For example, with lipstick, it is desirable to eliminate axial rotation of the adapter relative to the handle, as this can sometimes cause unwanted or unexpected movements for the user. It is also desirable to limit flexing and create an initial "base position," since the hand position may differ for lipstick and mascara. Furthermore, it is desirable to change the speed at which the motors move so that the mascara is slightly slower to reduce the risk of unintentional movement in the immediate vicinity of the eyes. An example of additional lipstick protocol features is as follows. • Disable axial rotation of the adapter relative to the handle • Set the motor speed to 100% for the fastest possible adjustments • Flex the adapter at the initial "basic" angular setting for best application orientation

[0086] Figure 9 shows a flowchart for performing the automatic detection as mentioned above. The steps are carried out at the level of the motion stabilization device 150. At step 9001, the communication interface 702 detects the presence of the adapter 100. For example, when the communication interface 702 is an RFID reader and the communication interface 701 is an RFID tag, these elements can perform an initial handshake before establishing a communication channel, as understood in Article 150.

[0087] In step 9002, after the establishment of a communication channel between the communication interfaces 701 and 702, the communication interface 701 transmits identification information to the communication interface 702. The identification information indicates the type of adapter, as shown above.

[0088] In step 9003, the communication interface 702 transmits the received identification information to the PCBA 703 located on board the stabilizing device, and The PCBA 703 retrieves the protocols stored in a local memory that corresponds to the type of adapter identified.

[0089] At step 9003, the PCBA 703 controls the configuration of the motion stabilization device in accordance with the recorded protocols after detecting that the adapter is attached to the motion stabilization device.

[0090] With the above procedures, the motion stabilization device will not only recognize the presence of an adapter, but it will also recognize whether it is a specific adapter used for lipstick, mascara, or other products. Once the device recognizes the presence of the adapter, it will call upon specific protocols in the device's software that target specific gestures and movements for the specific connected adapter (i.e., if the lipstick adapter is attached, the device will call upon the lipstick gesture protocols).

[0091] In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 can be configured to rotate within the plane formed by the cosmetic holder 120 around its central axis. The rotation of the cosmetic holder 120 can cause a cosmetic tool inserted into the holder 120 to rotate (turn). The rotation of an inserted cosmetic tool can be useful for certain cosmetic products that are extruded or applied via a rotational motion. Extrusion can refer to the translation of a cosmetic product (e.g., a cosmetic formula) stored in a cosmetic tool toward an opening or applicator portion of the cosmetic tool so that the cosmetic product is exposed and can be applied to a user. Cosmetic products can also be retracted, for example, translated away from the opening or applicator portion of the cosmetic tool.Examples of cosmetic products that can be extruded using rotation include, but are not limited to, lipsticks and related lip products, concealers, cosmetic pencils, cosmetic brushes, and so on. For example, a lipstick might consist of an inner tube inserted into a base. The inner tube may contain the lipstick product formed into a nozzle at one end of the inner tube. The nozzle may be symmetrical (e.g., bullet-shaped) or asymmetrical (e.g., scissor-shaped). When the inner tube is rotated relative to the base (or vice versa), the lipstick product is extruded or retracted from an opening at the first end of the inner tube.

[0092] The rotation of the inner tube relative to the base can be accomplished by a number of rotational actuations. In a first example, the inner tube can be stationary (fixed) while the base can be rotated in a first direction (clockwise) to extrude the lipstick. In a second example, the base can be stationary (fixed) while the inner tube can be rotated in a second direction opposite to the first to extrude the lipstick. In a third example, the The base can be rotated in the first direction, and the inner tube can be rotated in a second direction (counterclockwise) opposite to the first to extrude the lipstick. Similarly, reversing the relative directions can cause the lipstick formula to shrink.

[0093] In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 can be configured to rotate an inserted cosmetic tool to open or close the cosmetic tool. For example, the cosmetic holder 120 can rotate a cosmetic product cap to unscrew the cap from the cosmetic product body. In another embodiment, the rotating cosmetic holder can be configured to open packaging surrounding a cosmetic tool or product. For example, cosmetic products may be packaged in plastic or arranged in a plastic case. Cosmetic product packaging may be difficult for a user with limited mobility, limited grip strength, or limited fine motor control to open. The cosmetic holder 120 can apply rotational forces to open the packaging.For example, a pencil might be packaged in plastic to prevent the cap from being removed before purchase. The plastic packaging might be made of a flexible material, as twisting the cap against the pencil could tear it. The broken packaging would then lift away from the pencil and cap, making it easy to grasp and detach.

[0094] In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 can be configured to rotate an inserted cosmetic tool during its use. For example, a mascara wand can be rotated while it is in contact with a user's eyelashes to change the wand's orientation, maximize the amount of mascara product dispensed, and / or evenly distribute the mascara product from the wand. Similarly, a concealer wand may have an applicator that is dipped in the concealer product. It can be useful for the cosmetic holder to rotate the concealer wand during application to deposit all the concealer product on the applicator onto the user's face. In another example, a lipstick with a beveled tip can be positioned for application so that the flat side of the beveled tip faces the user's lip.The beveled tip can be rotated 180° for application to the upper and lower lips. The rotation of a cosmetic tool via the cosmetic holder 120, as described here, may depend on the type of cosmetic tool and the purpose of the rotation. The cosmetic holder 120, as illustrated in [Fig. 5A], can also pivot around the joint 115 and can rotate while in a fixed position.

[0095] In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 can be coupled to a A rotating gear, a surface, a shell, etc., can rotate an inserted cosmetic tool. In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 can be coupled to more than one rotating gear to provide more than one origin of rotation for an inserted cosmetic tool. In one embodiment, a first portion of the cosmetic holder 120 can be configured to rotate in one direction, while a second portion of the cosmetic holder 120 can be configured to rotate in a second direction or can be stationary.

[0096] Figure [1OA] illustrates an adapter 100 comprising a rotating gear 121 and a cosmetic holder 120. In one embodiment, the rotating gear 121 may be an in-line gear. A first face of the in-line gear 121 may be coupled to a first face of the cosmetic holder 120. In another embodiment, the in-line gear 121 may form the first face of the cosmetic holder 120. The in-line gear 121 may or may not be in contact with the cosmetic holder 120. Figure [1OB] shows a transparent view of an adapter 100 in which the rotating gear 121 is a concentric gear. A concentric gear 121 can be an internal gear formed within the cosmetic holder 120. For example, when the cosmetic holder 120 is a ring, the concentric gear 121 can be located within the ring's walls. An inserted cosmetic tool can be in contact with the inner wall of the cosmetic holder 120.The rotation of the concentric gear 121 can cause the surrounding cosmetic holder 120 to rotate. A shape of the rotating gear 121 (for example, a ring with teeth) is shown in Figures 10A and 10B by way of non-limiting example. In some embodiments, the teeth of the rotating gear 121 may be rounded, pointed, curved, etc., and may include internal and / or external teeth. In one embodiment, the rotating gear 121 may be a round disc without teeth. In some embodiments, the rotating gear 121 may be a rotating sheath, such as a cylinder or a half-cylinder. In one embodiment, the rotating gear 121 can rotate independently of the cosmetic holder 120. For example, the in-line gear 121 shown in [Fig. 10A] can rotate while the cosmetic holder 120 is stationary.An inserted cosmetic tool that is in contact with the inner surface of the inline gear 121 can rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the inline gear 121. An internal surface of the cosmetic holder 120 (for example, a surface in contact with an inserted cosmetic tool) can be a smooth surface comprising a low-friction material so that an inserted cosmetic tool can rotate within the cosmetic holder 120.

[0097] In one embodiment, a portion of the rotating gear 121 may be exposed to a rotator or actuator, the actuator being configured to rotate the rotating gear 121. In one embodiment, the rotating gear 121 can be driven by a motor. The motor can provide torque for rotation of the rotating gear 121. In one embodiment, the motor can be in the cosmetic holder 120, the adapter body 110, or the motion stabilizing handle 150. Figure 111A illustrates a rotating gear 121 driven by a gear system, the gear system comprising at least one drive gear 122. In one embodiment, a motor 123 can drive the rotation of the drive gear 122. The motor 123 can be an electric motor, such as a direct current (DC) motor, which can be powered by the power supply 1301 of the motion stabilizing device 150. The motor 123 can form the gear axle of the drive gear 122 or can be coupled to a gear axle of the drive gear 122.When power (current) is supplied to the motor 123, the gear shaft of the drive gear 122 can rotate, causing the drive gear 122 to rotate. The rotary gear 121, which is coupled to the drive gear 122 via its teeth, can rotate as a result of the rotation of the drive gear 122. In one embodiment, the drive gear can be coupled to the rotary gear 121 within the adapter body 110. The motor 123 can be coupled to the rotary gear 121 via any number of intermediate drive gears, including gears (e.g., bevel gears) for rotation about non-parallel axes. Thus, the continuous rotational motion of the motor and the gear shaft can cause a discrete rotational motion of the rotary gear 121.

[0098] In one embodiment, the rotating gear 121 can be actuated by a belt drive. Figure 11B illustrates a belt-driven actuator system. A belt 124 can be wound around the circumference of the rotating gear 121. The movement of the belt along the circumference of the rotating gear can be converted into rotation of the rotating gear 121. The movement of the belt can be driven by a second gear 125, a motor, etc., located in the adapter body 110 or in the motion stabilizing handle 150.

[0099] In one embodiment, a user can use the cosmetic holder 120 to extrude lipstick from a tube. The lipstick tube can be inserted into a ring-shaped cosmetic holder 120. The user can hold the base of the tube so that the base is stationary. The rotating gear 121 can then rotate the lipstick tube relative to the stationary base so that the lipstick product is extruded. The use of the rotating gear 121 can be helpful for a user who cannot grasp the base of the tube and rotate the tube body at the same time. In one embodiment, the cosmetic holder 120 may include more than one rotating gear 121. For example, the cosmetic holder 120 can be a cylindrical tube comprising a first rotating gear at one end of the cylindrical tube and a second rotating gear at a second (opposite) end of the cylindrical tube. A first part of the cosmetic holder 120 surrounding or coupled to the first rotating gear can move independently of a second part of the cosmetic holder 120 surrounding or coupled to the second rotating gear. The rotating gears can be in-line or concentric gears, as described with reference to Figures 10A and 10B.

[0100] Figure 12 illustrates a cosmetic holder 120 with two rotating gears 121a, 121b, by way of example. The first rotating gear 121a can be coupled to a first portion 120a of the cosmetic holder, and the second rotating gear 121b can be coupled to a second portion 120b of the cosmetic holder. The first portion 120a and the second portion 120b can be in contact with each other, for example, at a joint, or can be physically separated from each other. The first rotating gear 121a can rotate the first portion 120a of the cosmetic holder, and the second rotating gear 121b can rotate the second portion 120b of the cosmetic holder. The drive gear 122 may include a separate drive gear for each of the first rotating gear 121a and the second rotating gear 121b.The motor 123 may include a separate motor for each of the first rotational gear 121a and the second rotational gear 121b.

[0101] The first rotating gear 121a and the second rotating gear 121b can rotate in tandem or independently. For example, the first rotating gear can be fixed and the second rotating gear can rotate. The portion of the inserted cosmetic tool that is in contact with the first portion 120a will be fixed, while the portion of the inserted cosmetic tool that is in contact with the second portion 120b will rotate. As an example, the inserted cosmetic tool could be a lipstick tube. The base of the lipstick can be in contact with the first portion 120a of the cosmetic holder, while the lipstick tube containing the product can extend from the base and be in contact with the second portion 120b of the cosmetic holder.The lipstick base can be held in a stationary position by the first (stationary) rotating gear 121a, while the lipstick tube is rotated relative to the base by the second rotating gear 121b. The lipstick product can then be extruded or retracted without the user needing to stabilize or touch any part of the lipstick. In one example, the first rotating gear can rotate while the second rotating gear is stationary, or the first and second rotating gears can rotate in opposite directions.

[0102] The rotation parameters of the cosmetic holder 120 may include, but are not limited to, a rotation speed, a direction of rotation (e.g., clockwise or counterclockwise), a degree of rotation (e.g., a number of degrees), a pitch size (e.g., the smallest number of degrees through which the cosmetic holder 120 can rotate), and which part of the rotating gear rotates. It may be advantageous for the rotation parameters to be adjustable for a given cosmetic holder 120 so that the holder can be used for a variety of functions. For example, lipstick can be dispensed from a tube by rotating the tube a certain number of degrees. A mascara brush can be rotated a certain number of degrees during application.The amount of rotation required for the two functions can vary and differ within a range (for example, 360° for extruding lipstick and 180° for applying mascara). Furthermore, the rotation speed can vary for different functions. A cosmetic tool may rotate more slowly during cosmetic application compared to the rotation used to extrude or retract a product from the tool. The rotation parameters may depend on the power supplied to an actuator (for example, a motor) of the rotation gear 121.

[0103] In one embodiment, a push button, switch, or similar electrical connector can control the actuation of the rotary gear. The push button or switch can be provided on the base or side of the motion stabilizing device 150 and can be electrically connected to the circuitry of the motion stabilizing device 150. Activating a push button or switch can energize a motor to rotate the rotary gear. In one example, a user can control the rotation of the rotary gear by pressing a push button a fixed number of times, each press causing the rotary gear to rotate by a single step (for example, a fixed number of degrees).In one embodiment, when the push button is held down, current can be continuously supplied to the motor, and the rotating gear can continue to rotate in steps until the push button is released. In one embodiment, a push button or switch can modify the voltage supplied to the actuator (for example, the motor) in order to change the rotational speed. For example, pressing a push button can cycle through a number of voltages that can be supplied to the motor to change the rotational speed.

[0104] In one embodiment, the actuator can rotate the slewing gear with certain rotation parameters based on a type of rotation or a function. For example, the actuator can rotate the slewing gear by a fixed number of degrees at a speed defined according to the rotation or the function. In one embodiment The circuitry of the motion stabilizer device 150 or adapter 100 (for example, a PCBA 703) can access and execute one or more rotation protocols. A rotation protocol can refer to an actuation of the rotation gear according to one or more parameters. The circuitry can access one or more rotation protocols according to the method described here with reference to [Fig. 8] and [Fig. 9]. For example, the PCBA can execute a rotation protocol to extrude lipstick from a tube. When the protocol is executed, a fixed voltage and current can be supplied to a motor for a defined time to rotate the rotation gear by a certain number of degrees and at a speed corresponding to the extrusion of the lipstick. In another example, the PCBA can execute a rotation protocol to apply mascara.When the protocol is executed, a fixed voltage and current can be supplied to a motor for a defined duration to rotate the rotating gear by a certain number of degrees and at a speed corresponding to mascara application. The rotational speed (voltage) for mascara application may be lower than the rotational speed (voltage) for lipstick extrusion, while the duration for which the actuator is energized may be longer for mascara application than for lipstick extrusion. In one embodiment, a rotation protocol may be executed via a push button, switch, or similar mechanical actuator on the cosmetic applicator. In one embodiment, a rotation protocol may be accessed and / or executed based on sensor data collected by the motion stabilizer device 150 or the adapter 100.For example, the sensor data described here can be used to identify the type of cosmetic tool that has been inserted into the cosmetic holder. The circuitry of adapter 100 can be configured to execute a rotation protocol corresponding to the identified cosmetic tool.

[0105] By way of illustration, a rotation protocol can correspond to a lipstick application. The circuitry of the motion stabilization device can identify that a lipstick tube has been inserted into the cosmetic holder 120 based on sensor data collected by the motion stabilization device 150 and / or the cosmetic adapter 100. The cosmetic holder 120 can include a first rotation gear and a second rotation gear, as illustrated in [Fig. 12]. The rotation protocol corresponding to a lipstick tube can include a first step in which the first rotation gear is stationary, and the second rotation gear is driven by a motor to rotate clockwise at a fixed speed for a fixed number of degrees (e.g., 360°).The rotation of the lipstick tube by the second rotating gear relative to the first rotating gear can cause the extrusion of a . The lipstick tip is inserted from the tube opening. The motor can then stop rotating the second gear while the user applies the lipstick to one of their lips (upper or lower lip). In one embodiment, the circuitry of the motion stabilization device 150 and / or the cosmetic adapter 100 can determine that the lipstick has been applied to one of the lips. For example, sensor data from pressure sensors in the cosmetic adapter 100 can indicate that the lipstick is no longer pressed against a surface (the user's lip). The rotation protocol for the lipstick tube can further include a second step in which the first and second gears rotate in tandem to rotate the inserted lipstick by 180°.A 180° rotation can cause the lipstick tip to change orientation. This allows the user to apply lipstick to both lips with either side of the tip. The rotation protocol can further include a third step in which the first rotating gear is stationary, and the second rotating gear is driven by a motor to rotate counterclockwise at a fixed speed for a set number of degrees (e.g., 360°). The counterclockwise rotation of the lipstick tube by the second rotating gear can cause the tip of the lipstick to retract into the tube. In one embodiment, this third step can be executed automatically when pressure sensor data indicates that the lipstick is no longer pressed against a surface (e.g., the user's lip). The cosmetic adapter 100 can thus automate every movement necessary to apply lipstick, including rotating the lipstick in one or more directions, in a rotation protocol.

[0106] In one embodiment, the circuitry of the motion stabilization device 150 and / or the cosmetic adapter 110 can store or access a position, orientation, configuration, or rotation associated with a cosmetic tool or product. The stored position may be a preferred position of the cosmetic tool or may be the most recent position of the cosmetic tool. For example, the circuitry may store a number of rotations or degrees of rotation associated with a lipstick tube. The degrees of rotation may correspond to an amount of lipstick dispensed for application. The amount of lipstick may be a user preference, which may be set by the user as an input and accessed via the communication interface 702 of the motion stabilization device.In one embodiment, the amount of lipstick corresponding to the degrees of rotation can be an amount that is at least equal to an amount previously extruded. For example, circuitry 703 can... The device allows access to a number of rotation degrees for the lipstick to extrude the product during the most recent use. Since the product is used progressively over time, the cosmetic holder 120 can rotate the lipstick by at least the same amount during subsequent uses. In one embodiment, the rotation degrees can increase by a constant or variable amount with each use to ensure that a sufficient quantity of product is extruded each time. The setup and application of a cosmetic tool can thus be automated and reproducible to minimize user interaction while maintaining and responding to user preferences.

[0107] Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the foregoing. It is therefore understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be implemented in a manner other than as specifically described herein.
