Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for designing a keratin material having improved resistance properties. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditional tattoos involve penetrating the dermis layer of the skin with pigment, and while the initial treatment cost is also high, once applied, they are permanent and not easy to remove.

[0003] In recent years, following traditional tattoo procedures, henna tattoos (a method of drawing on the body using ink), water transfer stickers (a form of body painting where transfer paper is applied to the body using water), and other body painting methods that use ink in various ways, such as stamping patterns, have been proposed.

[0004] Among temporary body painting methods, methods for printing onto the skin using two-component skin printing inks have been reported in KR101655978 B1 and KR20180057953 A. The two-component skin printing inks in these methods include an ink composition and an ink immobilization or fixing composition as a primer for the ink composition.

[0005] Furthermore, WO 2023 / 229315 discloses a tattoo printing method in which an ink fixing composition for tattoo printing, which includes a powder, can be applied before or after the ink composition for tattoo printing has been applied.

[0006] However, there is still a need to improve the resistance properties of keratinous substances, such as inks applied to or temporarily printed on the skin and / or eyebrows, and especially eyebrow designs printed using ink.

[0007] Furthermore, the formulations of environmentally friendly cosmetics are designed and developed with environmental issues in mind, and this is an important goal in addressing global challenges. Therefore, it is essential to propose more sustainable compositions, preparation methods, and ingredients to address these environmental concerns.

[0008] In this context, it is important to develop new methods, such as new methods for designing on keratinous materials, that use compositions with a better carbon footprint, particularly by promoting the use of renewable raw materials and / or materials with a good index of naturalness and / or materials of natural origin.

[0146] Figures 6A and 6B illustrate exemplary methods of use of exemplary systems as described herein. In some embodiments, the system includes system 2000, system 2500, or another system described herein. Figure 6A shows the user interface of an exemplary software application for smart device 1000. In some embodiments, the software application depicts several makeup styles 200A, 200B, 200C…200N. In some embodiments, the user selects a makeup style from among the several makeup styles 200A, 200B, 200C…200N. In some embodiments, the user selects a makeup style by clicking, tapping, or otherwise selecting the makeup style. In Figure 6A, the selected makeup style is shown in black (i.e., the top row). In some embodiments, the software application displays the several makeup styles 200A, 200B, 200C…200N as a list or drop-down menu. In several embodiments, each of the multiple makeup styles 200A, 200B, 200C…200N includes a graphic representation of the makeup style, a description of the makeup style, or both. In several embodiments, the software application is further configured to recommend a makeup style to the user from the multiple makeup styles 200A, 200B, 200C…200N. In several embodiments, the recommendation is based on a trendy makeup style, the user's hair, skin, or lip color, a past makeup style chosen by the user, the shape of the user's eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheeks, or forehead, the user's location, or the color of the user's clothing, or other features or characteristics of the user or another individual.

[0147] Figure 6B shows an exemplary graphic of a software application on a smart device 1000 displaying an overlay of a selected makeup style 201 on an image 310 of the user's face. In some embodiments, the image is a camera on the smart device 1000 or a live video feed from the camera of a printer device (not shown in Figure 6B). In some embodiments, the image is a still photograph or a previously taken video. In such embodiments, the user uploads a photograph or video to the smart device 1000, where it is displayed by the software application.

[0148] Figures 7A–7D illustrate exemplary methods of use of an exemplary system as described herein. In some embodiments, the system is System 2000, System 2500, or another system described herein. Figure 7A shows an exemplary software application of Smart Device 1000. In some embodiments, in a series of steps, Figure 7A follows Figure 6B. In some embodiments, as the user scrolls through a plurality of makeup styles 200A, 200B, 200C, 200D…200N, the smart device displays an image of the user's face 310 and the selected makeup style 201A. In such embodiments, the user selects makeup style 201A and changes their selection in real time among the makeup styles 200A, 200B, 200C, 200D…200N. In several embodiments, multiple makeup styles 200A, 200B, 200C, 200D…200N are displayed by the smart device 1000, for example, at the bottom, top, or side of the smart device 1000's screen, in a manner that the depiction of the styles does not obscure the user's facial image 310. As shown in Figure 7A, makeup style 200A is selected and displayed as an overlay on the user's face as the selected makeup style 201A. As shown in Figure 7B, the user has selected a new makeup style 200D, which is displayed as an overlay on the user's facial image 310 as the selected makeup style 201B. In this way, the user can change their selection among any number of makeup styles from the multiple makeup styles 200A, 200B, 200C, 200D…200N before adjusting or printing the makeup style.

[0149] Figure 7C illustrates how a user adjusts a selected makeup style 201B to suit their preferences. In some embodiments, Figure 7C follows Figure 6B in a series of steps. In some embodiments, the application suggests adjustments to the selected makeup style 201B. In some embodiments, the suggested adjustments are based on the user's face shape, the shape of the user's facial features, the color of the user's hair, skin, eyes, or clothing, or fashion adjustments, such as fashionable adjustments among one or more users. In some embodiments, adjusting the selected makeup style 201B includes changing the color, size, length, width, hair size, pattern, angle, position, location of the makeup style, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, if, for example, the makeup style 201B includes individual elements, the individual elements of the makeup style 201B can be adjusted independently. For example, if the selected makeup style 201B is a pair of eyebrow makeup overlays (as shown in Figure 7C), each eyebrow of the makeup style 201B can be adjusted independently. As another example, if makeup style 201B consists of lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow, then the lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow can all be adjusted independently of each other.

[0150] In several embodiments, the selected makeup style 201B is adjusted using several sliders 250A, 250B, 250C…250N. In several embodiments, the selected makeup style 201B is adjusted by another mechanism, such as several presets, operation of the selected makeup style 201B via a touch screen, or otherwise. Once the user is satisfied with the selected makeup style 201B, the user can send the selected makeup style 201B as a makeup file to the printer device. In several embodiments, the software application can further store the selected and / or adjusted makeup style 201B as a preset so that the user can later select and / or print the same makeup style 201B.

[0151] As shown in Figure 7D, user 300 applies the selected and / or adjusted makeup style to a surface using the printer device 100. In some embodiments, the surface is a face, skin, or hair. In some embodiments, user 300 is a second person, in which case the first person applies the makeup style to the second person. In some embodiments, the first person may be a trained user, for example, in a store, salon, spa, or makeup counter.

[0152] During operation, the printer device 100 receives a makeup image file of the selected makeup style 201B from a smart device. The user 300 can hold the printer device 100 by its handle and move the printer over a surface. In some embodiments, the surface is a face. In some embodiments, the surface is skin or hair. In some embodiments, the surface is facial features. As the printer device 100 is moved over the surface, the printer device 100 detects the body's position and curvature based on position sensors and instructs the printer to print the makeup style at a specific location, e.g., adjacent to the printer applicator. In some embodiments, the user 300 orients the printer device 100 over the surface before selecting, adjusting, and / or printing the makeup style. In such embodiments, the printer device 100 is configured to detect the location of one or more facial features, or a combination thereof, so that the user 300 can detect the facial features of the user 300 and enable a software application to make recommendations based on the user's facial features.

[0153] In several embodiments, the printer device 100 senses its own location on, on, or along a surface and automatically applies one or more cosmetic styles to the locations on the surface. In several embodiments, the cosmetic styles are applied manually by activating a button or switch. Thus, the printer device 100 prints cosmetic styles only where desired by the user, based on the selected cosmetic style, any adjustments made to the cosmetic style, or a combination thereof.

[0154] A method for applying an ink composition and applying a makeup style using a printer device according to this embodiment is described below. In some embodiments, the method includes the steps of: selecting a makeup style from a plurality of makeup styles; displaying the makeup style on an image of an individual; transferring the makeup style as an image file to a printer device; moving the printer device over a part of the individual; and printing the makeup style on the individual at a certain location based on one or more position sensors of the printer device. Figure 8 shows an exemplary method 800 using an exemplary system according to this disclosure (e.g., system 2000 or system 2500).

[0155] In block 805, a makeup style is selected. In some embodiments, the makeup style is selected from a plurality of makeup styles. In some embodiments, the makeup style is selected as shown in Figure 6A, Figure 7A, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the makeup style is selected from eyebrows.

[0156] In block 810, the makeup style is displayed on the individual's image. In some embodiments, the individual's image includes a live video feed from a smart device or a printer device. In some embodiments, the makeup style is displayed as shown in Figure 6B, Figure 7B, or a combination thereof.

[0157] At block 815, the makeup style is saved as an image file and transferred to a printer device. In multiple embodiments, the image file is a makeup image file. In multiple embodiments, the image file is saved in a software application of a smart device. In multiple embodiments, the printer device receives the image file of the makeup style via a wireless or wired connection with the smart device as shown in FIG. 3.

[0158] At block 820, the printer device is moved over an individual's body. In multiple embodiments, the printer device is moved as shown in FIG. 7D. In multiple embodiments, the printer device is moved onto a person by an operator of the device. In multiple embodiments, the printer device is moved by a user of the printer device, for example, onto his or her own body.

In multiple embodiments, the makeup style is printed by the printer device. In multiple embodiments, the makeup style is composed of one or more makeup dyes or inks stored inside one or more reservoirs of the printer device. In multiple embodiments, a primer is applied before the makeup style is printed and / or a top coat is applied after the makeup style is printed.

[0160] FIG. 9 shows another exemplary method 900 of using the exemplary system of the present disclosure.

[0161] In block 905, multiple facial features of an image of an individual's body are recognized, for example, by a software application on a smart device that analyzes the image. In some embodiments, the multiple facial features are recognized by the printer device via one or more cameras on the printer device. In some embodiments, the depth and / or curvature of the multiple facial features are recognized by proximity sensors on the printer device. As described herein, the facial features are, in particular, eyebrows.

[0162] In block 910, the system recommends a makeup style. In several embodiments, the makeup style is recommended based on a trendy makeup style, the user's hair, skin, eye, or lip color, a past makeup style chosen by the user, the shape of the user's eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheeks, or forehead, the user's location, or the color of the user's clothing. In several embodiments, the makeup style is selected from eyebrows, eyeshadow, concealer, primer, foundation, blush, lip liner, lipstick, bronzer, eyeliner, freckle pattern, facial hair, hair design, highlighter, or a combination thereof.

[0163] In block 915, the makeup style is displayed on an image of the individual's body as described herein.

[0164] Optionally, in block 920, the user changes the selected makeup style. In some embodiments, changing the makeup style includes selecting another makeup style from a group of makeup styles instead of the selected one. In some embodiments, the user can switch between makeup styles multiple times before deciding to print the makeup style.

[0165] In block 925, the user adjusts the makeup style. In several embodiments, adjusting the makeup style includes changing the color, size, length, width, hair size, pattern, angle, position, location of the makeup style, or a combination thereof.

[0166] In block 930, the system prints a makeup style onto a part of the individual's body. In some embodiments, as described herein, the printer device accurately detects the makeup style and prints it onto a specific location on the user's body.

[0167] It should be understood that Methods 800 and 900 are representative and not exhaustive. In some embodiments, the process blocks of Methods 800 and 900 can be carried out simultaneously, sequentially, in different orders, or even omitted, without departing from the scope of the Disclosure.

[0168] Figure 10 shows an exemplary graph of the second derivative of a curve fitted to a portion of an individual's skin, for example, an eyebrow, where the second derivative is plotted as a function of position along the length of the curve. The exemplary graph, or a data structure encoding the data of the graph, can be used to determine the start and stop points 11 of individual segments among a plurality of guide segments 111 shown by a display. An exemplary method for determining a plurality of guide segments, at least partially implementable by the smart device and / or printer device of the present disclosure, includes the steps of: imaging a portion of the skin to create an image of the features of the portion of skin (e.g., an image of an eyebrow); analyzing the features of the portion of skin to compute a geometric curve that fits the features (e.g., a best-fit curve); computing a mathematical or polynomial representation of the curve; and computing the second derivative of the mathematical or polynomial representation of the curve (i.e., the rate of change of the curvature or slope of the curve; "slope of slope"). In some embodiments, a threshold of the second derivative is used to determine whether a particular data point of the second derivative corresponds to a significant rate of change of the curvature of the original mathematical or polynomial representation. For example, if thresholds of -0.5 and 0.5 are implemented, data for the second derivative exceeding these thresholds indicate a significant decrease and increase in the rate of change of the curve's slope at specific locations along the curve. These points are used as the start and stop points 11 of individual guide segments among a plurality of guide segments 111 shown by the display.

[0169] In several embodiments, such methods are useful for creating guide segments for arbitrary feature shapes or characteristics. For example, as shown in Figures 11A to 11C, the eyebrow shape 112 is determined by image analysis of an eyebrow image, a best-fit curve is calculated and fitted to the eyebrow shape 112. The curve is analyzed using its second derivative to determine the start and stop points 11 of the multiple guide segments 111 based on the rate of change of the slope of the original fitted curve at positions along the length of the curve. Eyebrows with gradually changing slopes have start and stop points 11 along the multiple guide segments 111 at least semi-regular intervals, as shown in Figures 11A and 11B, while eyebrows with sharper or more abrupt changes in slope have corresponding groups of start and stop points 11 at corresponding positions along the multiple guide segments 111, as shown in Figure 11C.

[0170] As shown in Figure 12A, an exemplary printer device 100 (left) having multiple guide segments depicted on a display is shown next to a conceptual representation (right) of a printer applicator 12 related to the multiple guide segments 111 during the application of a makeup style. In the shown configuration, the printer applicator 12 is adjacent to the portion of skin to be printed and is in an aligned position with the multiple guide segments 111. As the printer device 100 moves along the length of the skin feature and then printing is performed, the printer device 100 may not be properly aligned with the skin to be printed. In such a case, as shown in Figure 12B, the printer applicator 12 is in an unaligned position, and a feedback device or component generates feedback 113 for the individual to warn the individual of the need to change the path of the printer device 100. In several embodiments, a “dry run” practice method of the printer device 100 is used so that an individual can practice the movements of applying a makeup style to a portion of skin without actually applying the makeup style to the skin. Thus, individuals are better equipped for the actual application of cosmetic styles to their skin, and the risk of errors and resulting feedback 113 is reduced. In some embodiments, the feedback 113 provided to the user by a feedback device or component includes auditory feedback, visual feedback, audiovisual feedback, or haptic feedback.

[0171] As shown in Figure 13, an exemplary method 1300 for monitoring the application of a makeup style by the device and / or system of the present disclosure and generating feedback for an individual to correct the application of the makeup style in real time is provided.

[0172] In block 1305, the printer device or system recognizes and analyzes eyebrow features. In some embodiments, this is done as a result of image analysis of an image of an individual's eyebrows.

[0173] In block 1310, the printer device or system generates eyebrow traces and / or best-fit curves, calculates and generates segmented guidelines. In some embodiments, the calculation of multiple segmented guidelines is performed by calculating the second derivative of the mathematical or polynomial representation of the curve and comparing the data points of the second derivative with one or more thresholds as described herein.

[0174] In block 1315, during the application of the cosmetic style to the skin, the printer device or system monitors for deviations from the intended application trajectory of the cosmetic style. In some embodiments, this monitoring is performed continuously during the application of the cosmetic style, for example, as part of a repeating logic loop.

[0175] If a deviation from the intended trajectory is detected in block 1320 (block 1320: yes), the printer device or system generates feedback for the user to correct the application; if no deviation from the intended trajectory is detected (block 1320: no), the printer device or system continues to monitor the application deviation in process 1315. Block 1320 can be considered a subset of process 1315 and corresponds to the logical determination of whether or not a deviation has occurred.

[0176] According to another specific embodiment, the printer device is housing; A printhead located within a housing, comprising one or more nozzles for ejecting one or more formulations; An applicator surface connected to a housing, the outer surface of the applicator surface including rollers adjacent to one or more nozzles, the applicator surface configured to rotate relative to the housing, and the applicator surface being held in two or more rotational settings relative to the housing. It is a printer device that includes [this].

[0185] In one embodiment, the printhead 545 includes three rows of nozzles 506A, 506B, and 506C (Figure 16). Each row 506A, 506B, and 506C may include up to several hundred nozzles, which can be expressed as “dots per inch” (dpi), for example, 150 dpi, 300 dpi, and 600 dpi. Piezoelectric inkjet elements are paired with each nozzle, and each piezoelectric inkjet element is controlled by one or more processors 520. In one embodiment, each row of nozzles 506A, 506B, and 506C is configured to eject a single formulation from the corresponding cartridges 519A, 519B, and 519C.

[0186] One side of the applicator surface 504 is external and at one end of the housing 502, and the second opposite side of the applicator surface 504 is attached to the bottom side of the housing 502. When the printer device 500 is in use, the applicator surface 504 maintains contact with the surface via the roller 515 to ensure proper spacing from the surface and a smooth transition across the surface. The applicator surface 504 includes openings that allow rows of nozzles 506A, 506B, and 506C to eject the formulation onto the surface. To prevent smudging, it is desirable that the device 500 is moved in a direction such that the roller 515 follows behind rows of nozzles 506A, 506B, and 506C.

[0187] In one embodiment, the applicator surface 504 includes a mechanism for rotating the applicator surface 504, independent of the entire device 500. This allows the makeup to be applied in any direction without changing the orientation of the entire device 500.

[0188] As illustrated in Figures 17B and 18B, the bottom side of the housing 502 includes a flat annular disk 512 on the inner periphery of the housing 502. The flat annular disk 512 includes a circular opening for the print head 545. In one embodiment, the print head 545 is mounted on the applicator surface 504 and can rotate with the applicator surface 504. In one embodiment, the print head 545 does not rotate with the applicator surface 504.

[0189] The flat annular disc 512 includes one or more dogs 560 that support the applicator surface 504 while simultaneously allowing the applicator surface 504 to rotate relative to the housing 502.

[0190] In one embodiment, the dog 560 includes a neck portion 516 that extends axially downward and is mounted along a portion of the circular opening in the disk 512. The flange 518 is mounted perpendicular to the neck portion 516 such that the flange 518 extends outward rather than radially inward.

[0191] The applicator surface 504 includes a rim 508 on its internal upper side. The flange 518 can be fitted under the rim 508 so that the applicator surface 504 is supported by the flange 518 while also allowing rotation of the applicator surface 504.

[0192] As illustrated in Figure 17A, in one embodiment, the upper side of the applicator surface 504 includes a pair of magnets 521A and 521B, respectively, positioned on the opposite side of the applicator surface 504. However, the applicator surface 504 may include one to two or more magnets. In some embodiments, the magnets may be arranged on the applicator surface 504 in pairs facing each other in the diametrical direction.

[0193] As illustrated in Figure 17B, the bottom side of the housing 502 includes a plurality of magnets 523A-H distributed around the circumference of the annular disk 512. The magnets 523A-H can be distributed in pairs facing each other in the diametrical direction. The magnets 523A-H are positioned at the same radial distance from the center as the magnets 521A and 521B.

[0194] The polarity of magnets 521A and 521B on the applicator surface 504 is opposite to the polarity of magnets 523A-H on the housing 502, in order to create an attractive force between magnets 521A and 521B and magnets 523A-H. Thus, the applicator surface 504 is not only rotatable relative to the housing 502 and the device 500, but can also be held in a rotatably aligned state by the attraction of the pair of magnets 521A and 521B to any pair of magnets 523A-H. When the pair of magnets 521A and 521B is aligned with any pair of magnets 523A-H, there is resistance to rotating the applicator surface 504.

[0195] The number of magnets on both the applicator surface 504 and the bottom surface of the housing 502 may vary to increase the holding force and / or to define more preset rotation positions, or both.

[0196] In one embodiment, magnets 523A to H can be used to sense the rotational position of the applicator surface 504. The device 500 uses the rotational position of the applicator surface 504 to determine whether the roller 515 is following behind the print nozzles 506A, 506B, and 506C.

[0197] As illustrated in Figure 18A, in one embodiment, the applicator surface 504 includes a pair of springs 527A and 527B arranged radially opposite to the applicator surface 504. However, the applicator surface 504 may have one or more springs. The springs 527A and 527B may have a central peak with inclined sides that connect to the peak. In one embodiment, the peak is radially outward.

[0198] As illustrated in Figure 18B, slots 525 are provided on the inner periphery of the bottom edge of the housing 502. The slots 525 are provided all the way around the circumference of the housing 502. Each slot 525 is sized to accommodate springs 527A and 527B, and more specifically, each slot 525 is sized to accommodate the peaks of springs 527A and 527B. The slots are oriented radially inward. When the applicator surface 504 is rotated, springs 527A and 527B are compressed and disengaged from the slots 525. When the rotation stops, 527A and 527B reengage with the corresponding slots 525. Thus, springs 527A and 527B on the applicator surface 504 are configured to engage and disengage with the slots 525 while the applicator surface 504 is rotating.

[0199] The applicator surface 504 is not only rotatable relative to the housing 502 and the device 500, but it can also be held in a rotationally aligned state by springs 527A and 527B that engage with corresponding slots 525 on the housing 502. While springs 527A and 527B are engaged with the slots 525, there is resistance to rotating the applicator surface 504. When springs 527A and 527B are rotated until they are in the desired rotationally aligned state, springs 527A and 527B can make a clicking sound.

[0200] Slot 525 can be magnetized to sense the rotational position of the applicator surface 504 relative to device 500. Device 500 uses the rotational position of the applicator surface 504 to determine whether the roller 515 is following behind the print nozzles 506A, 506B, and 506C.

[0201] The mechanisms for maintaining rotational alignment, illustrated in Figures 17A, 17B, 18A, and 18B, improve the usability of the device 500 for cosmetic application. The device 500 instantly and visually enhances the cosmetic style through the use of the diagnostic and rotational application system.

[0202] If the applicator surface 504 is rotatable, the applicator surface 504 can be rotated without having to rotate the entire device 500. The applicator surface 504 can move the device 500 and rotate so that the roller 515 follows behind the nozzles 506A, 506B, and 506C to prevent smudging.

[0203] The applicator surface 504 can rotate freely and be fixed in any suitable orientation in a predetermined position for printing. To change the direction in which the makeup is applied, the user can rotate the applicator surface 504 to a new suitable position and remove it from the housing 502 until it is reattached to the housing 502.

[0204] Applicator alignment can be achieved in several ways: The applicator surface 504 is magnetically fixed to the housing 502. The applicator surface 504 latches to and releases from the housing 502. The applicator surface 504 is held in place by spring tension and secured in place by a slot on the housing 502. The applicator surface 504 is fitted into a predetermined position in the housing 502 via an interference fit.

[0205] The direction and orientation of the applicator surface 504 are known to the device 500 via feedback from the sensor on the roller 515, the position sensor 522, and the position of the applicator surface 504. As a result, the device 500 can be programmed to apply makeup only when oriented in the correct direction, and the user may be prompted to make rotational adjustments.

[0206] Device 500 enhances the appearance of eye makeup through the use of a diagnostic and rotational application system.

[0207] The printer device 500 is configured to apply a makeup style to a portion of the surface of the target skin, particularly the skin of the face, and includes a makeup deposition assembly 510, at least one position sensor 522, a camera 524, a display 540, and a processor 520 for performing all or part of the operations or methods of the present disclosure.

[0208] The position sensor 522 can detect the position of nozzles 506A to C relative to a portion of the skin surface.

[0209] The circuitry of the printer device 500, including but not limited to a processor, microprocessor, processor circuitry, and / or dedicated hardware circuitry, operably connects a cosmetic deposition assembly 510, a print head 545, an applicator surface 504, a position sensor 522, a camera 524, and, if present in one embodiment, a display 540. The circuitry is configured to instruct the cosmetic deposition assembly 510 to print a cosmetic style with the print head 545, to calculate the position of the printer device 500 relative to a portion of the skin surface based on the position sensor 522, and to calculate the selective activation of one or more nozzles in rows 506A-C based on the position of the device 500 relative to the portion of the skin surface. In some embodiments, the circuitry of the printer device 500 can be configured, in non-limiting examples, with a processor and processor-executable instructions stored in a non-temporary machine-readable medium of the printer device 500.

[0210] Sensors for determining position, orientation, and rotational alignment may include magnetic field sensors, Hall sensors, accelerometers, resistance sensors, induction sensors, and the like.

[0211] In several embodiments, the printer device 500 includes a processor 520 for executing instructions stored in a non-temporary machine-readable medium to enable the processor to perform all or part of the methods or processes of the present disclosure. In several embodiments, the processor 520 is configured to receive a makeup image file, detect the position and curvature of a portion of the surface of a subject based on a position sensor 522, and instruct a print head 545 to print a makeup style in location on the surface of the skin based on the makeup image file. Multiple facial features of the image of a subject are recognized, for example, by a software application on a computing device 5000 that analyzes the image. In several embodiments, multiple facial features are recognized by the printer device 500 via one or more cameras 524 on the printer device 500. In several embodiments, the depth and / or curvature of the multiple facial features are recognized by the sensor 522.

[0212] In several embodiments, the location is determined by the makeup style. In particular, the eyebrow makeup style can be printed on the eyebrows in question.

[0213] In several embodiments, the position sensor is located inside the roller 515. In several embodiments, the camera 524 is configured to acquire multiple images as the printer device 500 moves over a portion of the target skin, such as a facial feature.

[0214] In several embodiments, the applicator surface 504 is configured to articulate via a flexible dog 560. Articulating the applicator surface 504 allows for more accurate scanning of the surface. In such embodiments, during operation, a position sensor in the roller 515 contacts the surface and rolls as the printer device 500 scans the surface. In such embodiments, the printer device 500 can take into account the curvature of the surface.

[0215] The display 540 is configured to be used as a user interface. While the display 540 is shown on the back of the printer device 500, in some embodiments, the display 540 is a separate component, such as a smartphone or tablet. In some embodiments, the display 540 includes one or more actuators, such as buttons or keys. In some embodiments, the display 540 includes touch-sensitive capacitive buttons. In some embodiments, the display 540 is a touch screen.

[0216] In some embodiments, the user interface 540 is configured to display one or more indicators of the position of the print head and / or applicator. In some embodiments, one or more indicators are based on one or more positioning data. In some embodiments, one or more positioning data includes rotational position data as described herein. In some embodiments, one or more positioning data further includes the position of the applicator and / or print head of the printer device 500. In some embodiments, the user interface 540 is configured to display one or more indicators of the position of the applicator and / or print head. One or more indicators may include a real-time video display of the surface, an infrared (IR) sensing map of the surface, a simplified diagram of the surface, a contour map of the surface, a virtual overlay of a makeup style, one or more arrows configured to highlight an intended location, one or more lines indicating the tilt of the print head and configured to highlight an intended angle, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the intended location is a desired location for a makeup style, particularly the eyebrows.

[0217] In some embodiments, the user interface 540 provides “coaching” or application guides to help the user correctly apply the makeup style. In some embodiments, the user interface 540 displays one or more indicators as part of the application guide. In some embodiments, the user interface 540 and / or the circuitry of the printer device 500 emit one or more warnings configured to help the user apply the makeup style. In some embodiments, the warnings may include directions for movement, rotation, or both movement and rotation of the printer device 500. The warnings may be visual, tactile, auditory, etc. For example, in some embodiments, the printer device 500 may vibrate to indicate that the user should rotate the applicator. In another example, the user interface 540 may visually indicate the direction in which the applicator should be moved, such as an arrow or other marker.

[0218] The position sensor can be configured to roll across the facial feature as the printer device 500 moves over it. In this way, the position sensor detects the position of the facial feature as the printer device 500 moves over it. In some embodiments, the position sensor in the roller 515 is further configured to detect the curvature of the facial feature or the face of the subject, i.e., a portion of the skin surface of the subject.

[0219] The formulation cartridges 519A, 519B, and 519C are configured to hold one or more cosmetic inks or dyes, or other compositions for cosmetic styles. The formulation cartridges 519A, 519B, and 519C can hold any number of cosmetic inks or dyes of any number of colors, compositions, finishes, or formulations.

[0220] In several embodiments, the processor 520 of the printer device 500 is configured to generate commands to cause the print head 545 to eject and deposit cosmetic formulations according to the cosmetic style selected and modified by the subject, based on one or more inputs related to the cosmetic style.

[0221] Figure 19 is an explanatory diagram showing that a system 6000 for printing makeup styles can be implemented using a printer device 500 and a computing device (also referred to herein as an external device) 5000, such as a smartphone, which includes a circuit configured to select a makeup style from a plurality of makeup styles, display the makeup style on an image of a portion of the target skin surface, and send the makeup style to the printer device 500 as a makeup image file. The circuit of the printer device 500 is operably connected to (or operably connectable to) the circuit of the computing device 5000 and is further configured to receive a makeup image file from the computing device 5000 and to instruct the print head 545 to print the makeup style with a formulation from a formulation cartridge via the operation of the nozzles in rows 506A-C based on the makeup image file.

[0222] In an exemplary embodiment, the computing device 5000 is a smartphone or other consumer computing device, and the circuitry of the computing device 5000 can be configured using a processor or microprocessor programmable with processor-executable instructions stored in a non-temporary machine-readable medium of the computing device 5000.

[0223] Accordingly, in several embodiments, the computing device 5000 includes a software application configured to select a makeup style from several makeup styles, display the makeup style on an image of a portion of the target skin, and transmit the makeup style as a makeup image file via a wireless connection, such as a Bluetooth® connection, a Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) connection, and / or a Wi-Fi® connection, and / or a wired connection.

[0224] In several embodiments, a software application for the computing device 5000 displays multiple makeup styles, such as eyebrow shapes, lip shapes, etc., on the display of the computing device 5000. The user selects a makeup style from the multiple makeup styles by clicking, tapping, or otherwise selecting a makeup style on the computing device 5000. In several embodiments, the software application displays the multiple makeup styles as a list or a drop-down menu.

[0225] A software application on the computing device 5000 can display an image of a subject's face configured to draw a makeup style overlay on the skin surface of the face, for example, on the eyebrows. In some embodiments, the image is a live video feed from the camera of the computing device 5000 or from the camera 524 of the printer device 500.

[0226] The computing device 5000 displays an image of the subject's face and a makeup style. The subject selects a makeup style to be displayed as an overlay on the subject's face. The subject may make adjustments based on the shape of the subject's face, the shape of the subject's facial features, the color of the subject's hair, skin, eyes, or clothing, or fashion adjustments, for example, fashion adjustments among one or more subjects, or adjustments may be recommended by the computing device 5000. In some embodiments, adjusting a selected makeup style includes changing the color, size, length, width, hair size, pattern, angle, position, location of the makeup style, or a combination thereof.

[0227] In some embodiments, the computing device 5000 is configured to receive one or more positioning data from the printer device 500. In some embodiments, the one or more positioning data includes rotational position data as described herein. In some embodiments, the one or more positioning data further includes the position of the applicator and / or printhead of the printer device 500. In some embodiments, the computing device 5000 is configured to display one or more indicators of the position of the applicator and / or printhead as described herein. The one or more indicators may include a real-time video display of the surface, an infrared (IR) sensing map of the surface, a simplified diagram of the surface, a contour map of the surface, a virtual overlay of the makeup style, one or more arrows configured to highlight the intended location, one or more lines indicating the tilt of the printhead and configured to highlight the intended angle, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the intended location is a desired location for the makeup style, particularly the eyebrows.

[0228] In some embodiments, the computing device 5000 provides “coaching” or application guide to help the user correctly apply the makeup style. In some embodiments, the computing device 5000 displays one or more indicators as part of the application guide. In some embodiments, the computing device 5000 issues one or more warnings configured to help the user apply the makeup style. In some embodiments, the warnings may include directions for movement, rotation, or both movement and rotation of the printer device 500. The warnings may be visual, tactile, auditory, etc. For example, in some embodiments, the computing device 5000 may vibrate to indicate that the user should rotate the applicator. In another example, the computing device 5000 may visually indicate the direction in which the applicator should be moved, such as an arrow or other marker.

[0229] Once the subject is satisfied with the selected makeup style, the subject can send the makeup style as a makeup image file to the printer device 500. The subject then applies the selected and / or adjusted makeup style to the surface using the printer device 500.

[0230] The printer device 500 receives a makeup image file of a selected makeup style from the computing device 5000. The subject can hold the printer device 500 by its handle and move the printer device 500 across a surface. As the printer device 500 moves across the surface, it detects the body's position and curvature based on one or more positions and instructs the print head to print the makeup style at a specific location.

[0231] In several embodiments, the printer device 500 provides a command to rotate the applicator surface 504 to a predetermined position. In several embodiments, the printer device 500 senses the direction of movement of the printer device 500 and stops printing if it senses that the roller 515 is not following behind the nozzle. The printer device 500 provides a command to rotate the applicator surface 504 to a predetermined position. Once it senses that the applicator surface 504 is in the correct orientation, the printer device 500 allows printing to start or continue.

[0232] In some embodiments, the selected makeup style may require oriented the cosmetic application device 500 in two or more directions on the surface, for example, vertically and horizontally.

[0233] In some embodiments, the printer device 500 may provide a command to move the printer device 500 in a first direction on the surface, for example horizontally, then rotate the applicator surface 504, for example 90 degrees, and then provide a command to move the printer device 500 in a second direction on the surface, for example vertically.

[0234] In several embodiments, the display 540 is configured to display a print guide to instruct the user on how to properly use the printer device 500. The print guide may include arrows indicating directions in which the user can move the printer device 500. In several embodiments, the print guide includes a graphic representation of facial features and arrows indicating directions in which the user can move the printer device 500.

[0235] In several embodiments, the display 540 displays the current view from the camera 524 on the printer device 500. In some embodiments, as the user moves the printer device 500 over a surface, the image acquired by the camera 524 is displayed. In some embodiments, the printer guide further includes one or more warnings to instruct the user to move the printer device 500. In some embodiments, the warnings are visual warnings, e.g., arrows; auditory warnings, e.g., chimes or alarms; or tactile warnings, e.g., vibrations.

[0236] Referring to Figure 20, a method 600 is illustrated for printing a makeup style onto a surface, such as facial features, using a printer device 500.

[0237] In block 602, the printer device 500 is moved over the surface to be printed using a decorative style.

[0238] In block 604, the printer device 500 prints the selected makeup style once it has recognized the location of facial features.

[0239] In block 606, the printer device 500 senses its orientation using a direction sensor on a roller 515 connected to a magnet, a Hall sensor, or an accelerometer sensor, etc.

[0240] In block 608, a determination is made as to whether the roller 515 is following behind the newly printed cosmetic deposit, based on the orientation of the printer device 500 and the rotational position of the applicator surface 504.

[0241] If the decision in block 608 is "yes," meaning that roller 515 is following behind the print, the printer device 500 continues printing and returns to block 604.

[0242] If the decision in block 608 is "no," meaning that the roller 515 is not following behind the newly printed cosmetic deposit, the printer device 500 stops printing in block 610.

[0243] In block 612, the cosmetic deposition device 500 can provide instructions for rotating the applicator surface 504 to the correct or predetermined position.

[0244] In block 614, a determination is made as to whether the applicator surface 504 has rotated to the correct or predetermined position, based on a sensor that senses the position of the applicator surface 504. The position of the applicator surface 504 can be sensed by magnets 523A to H.

[0245] If the decision in block 614 is "yes," meaning that the applicator surface 504 is in the correct rotational position, the printer device 500 continues printing and returns to block 204.

[0246] If the decision in block 614 is "no," meaning that the applicator surface 504 is not in the correct rotation position, the printer device 500 may continue to provide instructions by returning to block 612.

[0247] Figure 21 is another flowchart of Method 700 for the printer device.

[0248] In block 705, it is moved over the surface to be printed using a decorative style.

[0249] In block 710, the printer device 500 senses its orientation using a direction sensor on a roller 515 connected to a magnet, a Hall sensor, or an accelerometer sensor, etc.

[0250] In block 715, one or more indicators are displayed to show the position of the applicator of the deposition device 500.

[0251] In block 720, the user is instructed to move the position of the applicator of the deposition device 500. In some embodiments, one or more indicators instruct the user to move the applicator. In some embodiments, the deposition device 500 and / or external device 5000 are configured to instruct the user to move the applicator.

[0252] In block 725, the printer device 500 prints the selected makeup style once it has recognized the location of facial features.

[0253] Examples of printing devices that can be used in the present invention include those disclosed in WO2024073268A1, WO2023034100A1, and US20240177404.

[0254] The ink composition can be dried after application to form a primer layer. Drying can be carried out under ambient conditions for 1 to 20 seconds, preferably 10 to 60 seconds. Drying can be carried out by heating the applied ink composition or simply by keeping the applied ink composition under ambient conditions. The heating temperature may be in the range of 0°C to 100°C. Ambient conditions, as specified herein, are temperatures in the range of 10°C to 40°C, particularly 15°C to 30°C, at atmospheric pressure (10°C). 5 Pa) It could be below.

[0255] With respect to the drying process, the method according to the present invention may further include one, two, or three drying steps between steps (i) and (ii), between steps (ii) and (iii), and / or after step (iii), and after each of the steps.

[0256] {Step (iii)} Step (iii) is to apply an anhydrous composition containing at least one oil-soluble film-forming agent onto the ink design prepared in step (ii), preferably a printed ink design, to provide a coating layer on the ink design.

[0257] The anhydrous composition in step (iii) forms a coating layer on the design applied in step (ii). Thus, the coating layer can impart improved resistance properties to the design.

[0258] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the anhydrous composition is applied to all or more than the applied, preferably printed, design.

[0259] The anhydrous composition can take any form suitable for topical application, and in particular, it can be in the form of an oily solution, an oily suspension, or an oily dispersion.

[0260] The anhydrous composition contains at least one oil-soluble film-forming agent. The oil-soluble film-forming agent used in the anhydrous composition is described in detail below.

[0261] (Oil-soluble film-forming agent) In anhydrous compositions, a single type of oil-soluble film-forming agent can be used, or two or more different types of oil-soluble film-forming agents can be used in combination.

[0262] In this specification, the term "oil-soluble" refers to a state at room temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure (10°C). 5 At Pa, this means a substance that is soluble in oil, such as isododecane, at a concentration of at least 1% by mass, for example, at least 5% or 10% by mass, relative to the total mass of the oil.

[0263] The term "film-forming" refers to a substance that is capable of forming a macroscopically continuous film that adheres to a support, either by itself or in the presence of an auxiliary film-forming agent, and in which case the film may exhibit water resistance.

[0264] The oil-soluble film-forming agent may be an oil-soluble film-forming polymer. For the purposes of this invention, the term "polymer" means a compound that consists of a repetition of one or more units (these units are derived from compounds known as monomers). This or these units are repeated at least twice, preferably at least three times.

[0265] Oil-soluble film-forming agents can be made hydrophobic, and therefore the water resistance of printed inks can be improved or enhanced.

[0266] In relation to the present invention, the oil-soluble film-forming agent preferably comprises at least one silicone resin.

[0267] - Silicone resin Examples of silicone resins include silsesquioxane, siloxysilicate, and resins obtained by hydroxysilylation. In particular, the silicone resin is selected from silsesquioxane, siloxysilicate, and mixtures thereof.

[0268] The nomenclature for silicone resins is known in the art as the "MDTQ" nomenclature, which describes silicone resins by the various repeating siloxane monomer moieties that make up the polymer. Each letter in "MDTQ" corresponds to a different type of moiety.

[0269] The symbol "M" represents the monofunctional part R 1 3-SiO 1 / 2 This corresponds to [this part]. This section is considered monofunctional because the silicon atom shares only one oxygen atom for chain formation. R 1 The group is a hydrocarbon group, preferably an alkyl group or aryl group, more preferably C1-C 10 This represents an alkyl group, particularly a C1-C4 alkyl group, such as a methyl group, ethyl group, propyl group, or butyl group. The "M" portion can be represented by the following structure:

[0270] [ka]

[0271] At least one of the methyl groups is, for example, [R(CH3)2]SiO 1 / 2 A part having the following structure:

[0361] The degree of hydroxyalkylation preferably varies from 0.4 to 1.2, corresponding to the number of alkylene oxide molecules consumed by the number of free hydroxyl functional groups present in the guar gum.

[0362] Such nonionic guar gums, optionally modified with hydroxyalkyl groups, are sold, for example, by Rhodia Chimie under the trade names Jaguar HP8, Jaguar HP60, and Jaguar HP120.

[0363] Among the starches that can be used, for example, polymers in the form of polymers containing anhydrous glucose units as the base units can be cited. The number of these units and their assemblies make it possible to distinguish between amylose (linear polymer) and amylopectin (branched polymer). The relative ratio of amylose to amylopectin, as well as their degree of polymerization, can vary depending on the plant origin of the starch.

[0364] The plant origin of the starch molecules that can be used in the present invention may be cereals or tubers. Therefore, the starch can be selected from, for example, corn starch, rice starch, cassava starch, barley starch, potato starch, wheat starch, sorghum starch, and pea starch.

[0469] - Lipophilic gelling agent The anhydrous composition may contain at least one lipophilic gelling agent. If two or more lipophilic gelling agents are used, they may be the same or different.

[0470] The term "lipophilic gelling agent" refers to a substance that can increase the viscosity of anhydrous compositions, resulting in an increase when a topcoat layer is formed by the anhydrous composition.

[0471] In this specification, the term "lipophilic" refers to conditions at room temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure (10°C). 5 At Pa, this means a substance that is soluble in oil, such as isododecane, at a concentration of at least 1% by mass, for example, at least 5% or 10% by mass, relative to the total mass of the oil.

[0472] The anhydrous composition preferably contains at least one lipophilic gelling agent, which is in particulate form.

[0473] The term "particulate" lipophilic gelling agent refers to a lipophilic gelling agent in the form of particles or crystals (particulate or crystalline).

[0474] According to the present invention, the lipophilic gelling agent is preferably selected from organically modified clays.

[0475] Clay refers to a layered, hydrated silicate and / or aluminosilicate-based material.

[0476] Clay may be natural or synthetic, and they are made lipophilic by treatment with alkylammonium salts, such as C10-C22 ammonium chlorides, particularly stearalkonium chloride or distearyldimethylammonium chloride.

In particular, examples include modified clay, for example, modified magnesium silicate (Bentone gel VS38 from Rheox), modified hectorite, for example, hectorite modified with C10-C22 fatty acid ammonium chloride, for example, hectorite modified with distearyldimethylammonium chloride, for example, the product sold by Elementis under the name Bentone 38VCG, or by Rheox under the name Bentone 38CE, or by Elementis under the name Bentone Gel V5 5V.

[0479] Lipophilic gelling agents can also be selected from hydrophobic fumed silica, which can be obtained by modifying the surface of silica via a chemical reaction that results in a reduction in the number of silanol groups, which are sometimes, in particular, substituted with hydrophobic groups. The hydrophobic groups can be trimethylsiloxyl groups, which can be obtained, in particular, by treating fumed silica in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane. The silica thus treated is known as "silylated silica" according to the CTFA Dictionary (6th edition, 1995). They are sold, for example, by Degussa under the reference name Aerosil R812® and by Cabot under the reference name Cab-O-Sil TS-530®. The hydrophobic groups can be dimethylsilyloxyl or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which can be obtained, in particular, by treating fumed silica in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane or dimethyldichlorosilane. The silica processed in this way is known as "dimethylsilylated silica" according to the CTFA Dictionary (6th edition, 1995). These are sold, for example, by Degussa under the reference names Aerosil R972® and Aerosil R974®, and by Cabot under the reference names Cab-O-Sil TS-610® and Cab-O-Sil TS-720®.

[0482] The lipophilic gelling agent is preferably an organically modified clay, particularly disteardimonium hectorite.

[0483] The amount of lipophilic gelling agent in the anhydrous composition may be 3% by mass or more, preferably 4% by mass or more, and more preferably 5% by mass or more, based on the total mass of the composition.

[0484] The amount of lipophilic gelling agent in the anhydrous composition may be 9.5% by mass or less, preferably 9% by mass or less, and more preferably 8.5% by mass or less, based on the total mass of the composition.

[0510] [Table 2]

[0511] [Table 3]

[0512] (Example 1) The method for applying the eyebrow design according to Example 1 was carried out as follows: First, the aqueous composition was applied to the eyebrows of the face on the panel using an applicator with a flocking tip to prepare a primer layer as the first layer on the eyebrows. After the primer layer was left to stand under ambient conditions for 1 minute, the ink composition 1 was applied to the primer layer using a Prinker M printer device obtained from Prinker to print the eyebrow design with a makeup style as the second layer on the primer layer. After the printed eyebrows were left to stand under ambient conditions for 1 minute, the anhydrous composition 1 was applied to the printed eyebrows using an applicator with a rotatable flocking tip to prepare a coating layer as the third layer on the printed design.

[0513] (Example 2) Example 1 was repeated, but ink composition 2 was used instead of ink composition 1.

[0514] (Comparative Example 1) Example 1 was repeated, but a powdered composition was used instead of the aqueous composition, ink composition 2 was used instead of ink composition 1, and a third layer, i.e., a coating layer, was not prepared.

[0515] (Comparative Example 2) Comparative Example 1 was repeated, but the first layer was prepared with ink composition 2 and the second layer was prepared with the powdered composition.

[0516] (Comparative Example 3) Comparative Example 1 was repeated, but the third layer was prepared with anhydrous composition 2.

[0517] [evaluation] Following the methodology, the following evaluation was performed using a panel of 10 participants.

[0518] (Smudge resistance) The smudge resistance of the resulting printed eyebrows was evaluated based on the following criteria. Excellent: No bleeding of the ink composition was observed in 9-10 panelists. Excellent: No ink bleeding was observed in 7-8 panels. Good: No bleeding of the ink composition was observed in 5-6 panelists. Normal: No bleeding of the ink composition was observed in 3-4 panelists. Defect: Ink composition bleeding was not observed in only 0-2 panels.

[0519] (Abrasion resistance) One hour after the method was completed, the resulting printed eyebrows were rubbed four times with a finger. Then, the abrasion resistance was evaluated based on the following criteria. Excellent: For 9-10 panels, the printed ink retained its style after friction. Excellent condition: The ink printed on the 7-8 panels retained its style even after friction. Good: The ink printed on the 5-6 panels retained its style after rubbing. Average: The ink printed on the panels for 3-4 people retained its style after rubbing. Defect: Only 0-2 panels retained their style after the printed ink rubbed off.

[0520] (water resistance) Eight hours after the procedure was completed, the resulting printed eyebrows were sprayed with water 10 times from a distance of 30 cm using a spray bottle. Water resistance was then evaluated based on the following criteria. Excellent: The ink printed on the 9-10 panels retained its style after being sprayed with water. Excellent: The ink printed on the 7-8 panels retained its style even after being sprayed with water. Good: The ink printed on the 5-6 panels retained its style after being sprayed with water. Normal: The ink printed on the panels for 3-4 people retained its style after being sprayed with water. Defect: Only 0-2 panels retained their style after water spraying due to printed ink.

[0521] (sebum resistance) Eight hours after the procedure was completed, the resulting printed eyebrows were sprayed five times with artificial sebum water from a distance of 30 cm using a spray bottle. Then, sebum resistance was evaluated based on the following criteria. Excellent: For 9-10 panels, the printed ink maintained its style even after being sprayed with sebum. Excellent: The ink printed on the 7-8 panels retained its style even after being sprayed with sebum. Good: The ink printed on the panels of 5-6 people retained its style even after being sprayed with sebum. Normal: The ink printed on the panels of 3-4 people retained its style even after being sprayed with sebum. Defect: Only 0-2 panels retained their style after being sprayed with sebum.

[0522] The results are shown in Table 4.

[0523] [Table 4]

[0524] As shown in Table 4, the method according to the present invention can impart improved resistance to printed eyebrows, such as smudge resistance, abrasion resistance, water resistance, and sebum resistance.

[0525] On the other hand, the methods of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, which did not include a coating layer, produced printed ink with low water resistance and oil resistance. In addition, the method of Comparative Example 3, in which the anhydrous composition did not contain an oil-soluble film-forming agent, produced printed ink with low abrasion resistance and oil resistance.

[0526] Therefore, it can be concluded that the method according to the present invention is highly preferable as a daily procedure for applying eyebrow makeup, as it has improved resistance and can maintain its style for a long time. [Explanation of symbols]
