Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cosmetic application devices lack the ability to accurately and efficiently apply makeup styles on complex surfaces like the face without smudging, and do not provide real-time guidance for precise positioning and orientation.
Innovation Solution
A cosmetic deposition device with a rotatable applicator face and integrated sensors and user interface that allows for precise alignment and application of makeup, using inkjet printing technology and real-time feedback for optimal positioning and orientation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional cosmetic application methods are used, then the application process is simple, but the precision and accuracy of makeup application on complex facial surfaces is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements real-time feedback through a user interface that displays the position and orientation of the applicator face relative to the printhead, allowing users to adjust their holding position to achieve precise alignment for makeup application
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical alignment methods with electronic sensors and digital display systems that provide real-time positional feedback, substituting manual trial-and-error alignment with automated guidance
2Adaptability or versatility
If the applicator face is fixed in position, then the device structure is simple, but the adaptability to different application angles and orientations is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the applicator face rotatable relative to the printhead, allowing dynamic adjustment of the application angle and orientation to match different facial contours and application requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The rotatable applicator face design enables the device to perform makeup application at multiple angles and orientations, making it universally applicable to different facial features and application styles
3Measurement precision
If real-time position guidance is added, then the positioning accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates sensors and a user interface that provide real-time feedback on the position and orientation of the applicator face, enabling users to achieve and maintain precise alignment during makeup application
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary digital display system that mediates between the physical position of the applicator and the user's control, providing visual feedback that bridges the gap between mechanical position and user intent
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
Enables precise and smudge-free application of makeup styles on facial features by ensuring the applicator follows behind the nozzles, with real-time guidance and alignment mechanisms, enhancing the usability and accuracy of cosmetic application.
Implementation Method 1
the printhead including one or more nozzle to dispense one or more formulation
Implementation Method 2
an exterior side of the applicator face includes a roller adjacent to the one or more nozzle
