Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Individuals with motion disorders or tremors face challenges in applying cosmetics precisely due to unintentional movements, which existing technologies have not adequately addressed.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a dispensing device, a motion stabilizer, sensors, and a motion generation device that detects user movements and compensates for tremors, allowing for stable cosmetic application by controlling the cosmetic applicator's motion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a user with tremors manually applies cosmetic composition, then the application process is simple and direct, but the precision and stability of application deteriorates due to unintentional movements
Solution Approach 1:
A motion stabilizer device acts as an intermediary between the user's hand and the cosmetic applicator. The device includes sensors that detect unintentional movements, processing circuitry that determines compensation movements, and motion generation devices that produce counter-movements to stabilize the applicator's position, thereby improving application precision without requiring the user to directly control the applicator
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the purely manual mechanical control system with an automated system that uses sensors, processing circuitry, and motion generation devices to detect and compensate for user movements. This substitution of mechanical control with an automated feedback system resolves the contradiction by providing stable application precision while managing the complexity through integration
2Extent of automation
If a motion stabilizer is integrated with a cosmetic dispenser, then the automation and precision of cosmetic application is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The motion stabilizer device is merged with the cosmetic dispenser to form an integrated system. The stabilizer includes a receiver that can be coupled with an adapter holding the cosmetic applicator, and the system can automatically dispense cosmetic material from a cartridge into a receiving area on the applicator. This merging reduces overall system complexity by combining multiple functions into a single integrated device
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated system provides multiple functions: motion stabilization, cosmetic dispensing, and applicator holding. The receiver can accommodate different applicator types through adapters, and the system can perform both stabilization and automated dispensing operations, enhancing versatility while managing complexity through unified control
3Stability of the object's composition
If the cosmetic applicator is stabilized using sensors and motion generation devices, then the stability and control of the applicator is improved, but the weight and complexity of the applicator assembly increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into separate functional components: the motion stabilizer device that contains the sensors and motion generation devices, and the cosmetic applicator that can be easily attached and removed. The stabilizer handles the weight and complexity of the stabilization mechanism, while the applicator itself remains relatively lightweight and simple for actual cosmetic application
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system effectively stabilizes the cosmetic applicator, enabling precise and controlled application of cosmetics, even for users with tremors, by offsetting unintentional movements and improving the accuracy of cosmetic application.
Implementation Method 1
at least one motion generation device embedded in the receiver configured to control a motion of the cosmetic applicator according to the determined compensation movement
Implementation Method 2
at least one sensor configured to detect a movement caused by a user
