BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The demand for personalized skincare has increased as people seek products tailored to their unique skin types and concerns. Traditionally, skincare products were one-size-fits-all, leading to inefficiency for those with specific needs like acne, dryness, or hyperpigmentation. To address this, people rely on trial and error, spending time and money experimenting with different products. Traditional methods for customizing skincare usually involved visiting dermatologists, mixing ingredients by hand, or using premade kits, all of which lacked precision, were time-consuming, and often costly. Furthermore, many products didn’t adequately address multiple skin concerns at once. These methods also failed to consider factors like skin tone, environmental conditions, or personal lifestyle, which significantly impact skincare needs. As a result, many individuals struggled to find the right solutions, leading to frustration. Thus, an equipment needs to be developed that produce customized skincare products automatically based on individual skin requirements in an effective manner.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.
[0021] The present invention relates to a customized skin care solution producing device that precisely evaluates an individual’s skin condition and develops a personalized skin care solution suited to their unique needs, thereby minimizing reliance on manual adjustments. Additionally, the proposed device is capable of being adapted to user’s evolving skin conditions, for ensuring that the treatment remains effective and continuously refined for optimal results.
[0022] Referring to Figure 1, a perspective view of a customized skin care solution producing device is illustrated, respectively, comprising a cuboidal housing 101 having four perpendicularly installed telescopic rods 102 with motorized omnidirectional wheels 103 at the ends, attached underneath the housing 101, a rectangular tray 104 disposed with a lateral surface of the housing 101 by means of a sliding unit 105, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 106, installed in the housing 101, a water tank 107 arranged within the housing 101 and configured with a spray nozzle 108.
[0023] Figure 1 further illustrates a blower 109 installed in the housing 101, an L-shaped telescopic arm 110 attached within the housing 101, a pH sensor 111 is embedded at an end of the arm 110, a touch enabled display panel 112 located on the housing 101, a multi-compartment chamber 113 disposed within the housing 101, a multi-section storage 114 provided in the housing 101, plurality of nozzles 115 are provided with the chamber 113 and the storage 114, a mixing receptacle 116 located within the housing 101, configured with a motorized stirrer 117, a cuboidal box 118 disposed within the housing 101, a microphone 119 provided on the housing 101.
[0024] A housing 101 used herein comprises of a handy and portable cuboidal enclosure encasing various components associated with the device, wherein the housing 101 is made up of material that includes but not limited to plastic or metal that ensures that the device is of generous size and is light in weight.
[0025] Underneath of the housing 101 multiple telescopic rods 102 are installed (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers), wherein at the ends of the rods 102 multiple motorized omnidirectional wheels 103 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) are arranged for locomotion of the housing 101. The rods 102 are pneumatically actuated, wherein the pneumatic arrangement of the rods 102 comprises of a cylinder incorporated with an air piston and the air compressor, wherein the compressor controls discharging of compressed air into the cylinder via air valves which further leads to the extension/retraction of the piston. The piston is attached to the telescopic rods 102, wherein the extension/retraction of the piston corresponds to the extension/retraction of the rods 102. The actuated compressor allows extension of the rods 102 to position the wheels 103 in an appropriate position in order to aid the wheels 103 in maneuvering the housing 101.
[0026] The motorized wheels 103 are a circular object that revolves on an axle to enable the housing 101 to move easily over the ground surface. For maneuvering the housing 101 each of the wheels 103 need to rotate and which is governed by a hub motor fit in the hub of each of the wheels 103.
[0027] The hub motor is an electric motor that is integrated into the hub of the wheels 103. The hub motor is comprising a series of permanent magnets and electromagnetic coils. When the motor is activated, a magnetic field is set up in the coil and when the magnetic field of the coil interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnets, a magnetic torque is generated causing the stator of the motor to turn and that provides the rotation motion to the wheels 103 for maneuvering the housing 101 on the ground surface.
[0028] A rectangular tray 104 is affixed to the lateral surface of the housing 101 through a sliding unit 105, which facilitates the inward and outward movement of the tray 104 along a predefined path. The sliding unit 105 allows the tray 104 to be adjusted seamlessly, and providing the user with the ability to position their body part, such as a hand, arm 110, or any other relevant part, onto the surface of the tray 104 for the purpose of analysis.
[0029] The sliding unit 105 ensures that the tray 104 is moved into the desired position with ease, allowing the body part to be accurately aligned with the device. The design of the tray 104 and sliding unit 105 enables secure placement and stability, for ensuring reliable and precise analysis while optimizing user comfort and convenience during the process.
[0030] The sliding unit 105 operates by utilizing a set of tracks or rails fixed along the housing 101 lateral surface. When activated, a motor engages the sliding unit 105, which causing the tray 104 to move along the tracks in a controlled manner. The tray 104 slides inward or outward based on preset commands. The motion is smooth and precise, ensuring accurate positioning of the tray 104 for optimal alignment of the user's body part with the analytical devices. The unit includes locking module to secure the tray 104 in place once positioned, thereby preventing undesired movement during analysis.
[0031] After the user places their body part on the tray 104 for analysis, the user simultaneously provides voice command by means of a microphone 119 provided on the housing 101, regarding analysing of the skin. The microphone 119 mentioned herein works as a transducer that converts sound waves into audio signal. The microphone 119 on receiving the input commands from the user converts the input signal into electrical signal and sends it to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received signals in order to analyze the voice inputs of the user and upon analyzing the voice commands the microcontroller actuates the device and accordingly commands the device to carry out analyzation of the skin.
[0032] The microcontroller analyzes the command of the user and accordingly actuates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 106, which is installed in the housing 101. The imaging unit 106 disclosed herein comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the surroundings and the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging unit 106 in form of an optical data.
[0033] The imaging unit 106 also comprises of the processor which processes the captured images. This pre-processing involves tasks such as noise reduction, image stabilization, or color correction. The processed data is fed into AI protocols for analysis which utilizes machine learning techniques, such as deep learning neural networks, to extract meaningful information from the visual data which are processed by the microcontroller to determine a type of skin issue present on skin of the user.
[0034] A water tank 107 is integrated with a spray nozzle 108 that is configured to spray water directly onto the user's skin. This spray nozzle 108 is activated through the microcontroller, in view of allowing for precise control over the volume and flow of water dispensed. The water tank 107 is connected to the spray nozzle 108 via a conduit, ensuring a steady supply of water during the cleaning process. The spray nozzle 108 is designed to spray water in a gentle, evenly distributed manner, thereby allowing the user’s skin to be cleansed effectively without causing irritation or discomfort.
[0035] The spray nozzle 108, equipped with small apertures, atomizes the water into fine droplets. As the water passes through the spray nozzle 108, the pressure forces it into a mist that is evenly distributed over the user's skin. The spray nozzle 108 design ensures that the mist covers the area uniformly. The flow rate and spray pattern are controlled by a valve that adjusts water output, thereby providing the desired level of coverage. The spray nozzle 108 continues to spray until the desired amount of water has been dispensed.
[0036] The tray 104 is integrated with a moisture sensor which detects moisture level on skin of the user. The moisture sensor measures the change in capacitance of the skin of the user in order to determine the moisture level on the skin of the user The sensor comprises of two metal plates that are separated by a dielectric material. When the user skin comes in contact with the metal plates, the dielectric material absorbs the moisture from the user skin resulting a change in capacitance of user skin which is further converted into data and sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller analyzes the data and detects moisture level on skin of the user.
[0037] A blower 109 is incorporated within the housing 101, and is positioned to direct airflow onto the skin of the user. This blower 109 is configured to emit a controlled stream of air designed to facilitate the evaporation of moisture from the skin's surface. The airflow is regulated to ensure that the moisture level on the skin is reduced or maintained within a predefined range, as specified by the moisture sensor. The air supply is managed in such a manner as to prevent excessive drying or irritation, thereby promoting optimal skin hydration.
[0038] Upon activation, the blower 109 releases a controlled stream of air directed at the user’s skin. The blower 109 operates by drawing in air from the surrounding environment, which is then directed through an internal fan mechanism. The air is expelled through an outlet, ensuring that it reaches the skin surface. The blower 109 output intensity is adjustable to regulate the airflow, thereby providing consistent drying action on the skin to remove moisture. The blower 109 continues to operate until the moisture level of the skin reaches the predetermined range, at which point it ceases.
[0039] An L-shaped telescopic arm 110 affixed within the housing 101 via a primary ball-and-socket joint, wherein the telescopic arm 110 is capable of extending and retracting along its axis, as the arm 110 works in the similar manner as of rods 102 mentioned above. At the free end of the telescopic arm 110, a pH sensor 111 is securely integrated, which is designed to detect the pH level of the user’s skin. The ball-and-socket joint permits rotational and angular movement of the telescopic arm 110, in view of allowing the pH sensor 111 to be maneuverer into proximity with the skin for accurate measurement.
[0040] The pH sensor 111, upon contact with the skin, generates readings based on the skin's pH level, which are subsequently transmitted to the microcontroller for analysis and display. The integration of the telescopic arm 110 ensures that the pH sensor 111 is positioned at varying distances from the skin to accommodate users of different body types or skin areas, while maintaining precision in measurement.
[0041] The motorized ball and socket joint mentioned here consists of a ball-shaped element that fits into a socket, which provides rotational freedom in various directions. The ball is connected to a motor, typically a servo motor which provides the controlled movement. The arm 110 is attached to the socket of the motorized ball and socket joint, the microcontroller sends precise instructions to the motor of the motorized ball and socket joint. The motor responds by adjusting the ball and socket joint and rotates the ball in the desired direction, and this motion is transferred to the socket that holds the arm 110. As the ball and socket joint move, it provides the necessary movement to the arm 110 in order to aid the arm 110 in performing required operation.
[0042] The sensor 111 comprises an indicator electrode and a reference electrode. The indicator electrode, which includes a glass membrane, is sensitive to the hydrogen ion concentration on the skin's surface. The glass electrode's potential varies based on the pH level of the skin. The reference electrode, which remains standard and maintains a constant potential, does not respond to the skin's hydrogen ion concentration. The pH sensor 111 operates by measuring the potential difference between the indicator and reference electrodes. This measured difference is then processed to determine the skin's pH value, allowing for an accurate assessment of the skin’s acidity or alkalinity.
[0043] The housing 101 is equipped with a touch-enabled display panel 112, which serves as an interface for presenting the detected pH level of the skin. The display panel 112 is configured to receive and visually present real-time data from the pH sensor 111, in view of allowing the user to view the skin's pH value clearly and interactively. The touch functionality of the panel 112 enables the user to easily navigate through various options, settings, and configurations, and provides a user-friendly experience for managing the skin analysis process. The display panel 112, therefore, provides an immediate and intuitive means for the user to monitor the pH status of their skin, thereby facilitating informed decisions regarding subsequent skincare treatments.
[0044] A multi-compartment chamber 113 is integrated within the housing 101 to store a variety of oils used in the formulation of the skin care solution. The chamber 113 is partitioned into several sections, each designed to hold a different type of oil, thereby allowing for the organized and efficient storage 114 of the ingredients required for creating customized skin care solutions. Additionally, a multi-section storage 114 unit is provided within the housing 101 for the purpose of storing plurality of active ingredients necessary for the preparation of the solution.
[0045] This storage 114 configuration ensures that each ingredient, both oils and active compounds, is stored separately to maintain their integrity and prevent unwanted interactions. The arrangement of these compartments facilitates easy access and precise control over the mixture of oils and ingredients, thereby allowing for the accurate formulation of the skin care solution tailored to the user's needs.
[0046] In synchronization, plurality of nozzles 115 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) is incorporated into the multi-compartment chamber 113 and multi-section storage 114 within the housing 101, each nozzle 115 being strategically positioned for dispensing the oils and active ingredients stored in the respective compartments. These nozzles 115 are designed to release controlled amounts of oils and active ingredients into the skin care solution formulation process, thereby ensuring precise and consistent dispensing.
[0047] The nozzles 115 are operated via the microcontroller, which regulates the flow of the ingredients according to the predetermined recipe or user requirements. This arrangement allows for the efficient mixing and application of different oils and active ingredients, providing flexibility in creating a customized skin care solution. The nozzles 115 are designed to prevent cross-contamination between ingredients, maintaining the purity and quality of each component, while also ensuring that the right proportions of oils and active ingredients are dispensed in line with the desired formulation.
[0048] The nozzles 115 operates by receiving commands from the microcontroller, which regulates the flow of oils and active ingredients. When activated, the nozzles 115 releases a precise amount of the substance stored in the corresponding compartment or section. The flow rate is controlled either by pressure or a motorized mechanism, ensuring consistent dispensing. Each nozzles 115 is designed to ensure that the oils and active ingredients are dispensed without mixing prematurely, preventing contamination.
[0049] A database, integrated with the microcontroller, is utilized to securely store the user's skin condition data and detailed records of the dispensed skin care solutions. This database functions by continuously updating and maintaining relevant information regarding the user's skin health, including pH levels, moisture content, and any other tracked parameters. Additionally, it logs the composition of the customized solution dispensed to the user, including the types and amounts of oils and active ingredients used. This stored data enables personalized future treatments and ensures that the device recall prior usage history for reference, allowing for the optimization of skin care routines over time.
[0050] A mixing receptacle 116 is incorporated within the housing 101, designed to receive and combine oils and active ingredients dispensed through the nozzles 115. The receptacle 116 is equipped with a motorized stirrer 117, which is actuated by the microcontroller. Once the oils and active ingredients are dispensed into the receptacle 116, the stirrer 117 is activated to thoroughly mix the ingredients. This ensures that the oils and active ingredients are evenly blended to form a uniform solution, suitable for skin care application. The motorized stirrer 117 operates at a controlled speed, enabling efficient mixing while maintaining the integrity of the ingredients.
[0051] The motorized stirrer 117 is activated by the microcontroller once the oils and active ingredients are dispensed into the mixing receptacle 116. The motor powers the stirrer 117 blades, causing them to rotate at a controlled speed. As the stirrer 117 rotates, it moves the oils and active ingredients within the receptacle 116, ensuring thorough mixing. The microcontroller adjusts the speed and duration of stirring based on preset parameters or user preferences. The stirrer 117 continues to mix the ingredients until a uniform solution is formed, after which the microcontroller stops the motor, completing the mixing process.
[0052] The concentration of the active ingredients is determined by the skin condition and pH level detected by the imaging unit 106 and the pH sensor 111. Upon detecting the skin's condition and pH, the imaging unit 106 and pH sensor 111 relay this information to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes this data and calculates the appropriate concentration of the active ingredients needed to address the specific skin condition. Based on the analysis, the device adjusts the dispensing of oils and active ingredients through the nozzles 115, ensuring the mixture is tailored to the user's skin needs, optimizing the efficacy of the skin care solution.
[0053] The quantity of oils dispensed into the mixing receptacle 116 is regulated by a viscometer embedded within the receptacle 116. The viscometer continuously monitors the viscosity of the solution being mixed. When the viscosity deviates from the predetermined range, the viscometer sends real-time data to the microcontroller, which adjusts the dispensing of oils and active ingredients accordingly. This ensures that the final skin care solution maintains a consistent viscosity that falls within the desired range, thereby providing optimal application properties for the user.
[0054] The viscometer operates by applying a controlled force to the mixture and measuring the resulting resistance to flow. If the viscosity is outside the predetermined range, the viscometer sends feedback to the microcontroller, which adjusts the dispensing rate of oils and active ingredients to correct the viscosity. The microcontroller fine-tunes the flow of components, ensuring that the solution remains within the desired viscosity range for optimal performance and application.
[0055] A cuboidal box 118 is positioned within the housing 101 to receive and store the mixed solution once it has been properly blended. This box 118 is designed to securely contain the solution, ensuring it remains intact and free from contamination. The box 118 is sized to accommodate the expected volume of the mixed solution, and its construction is such that it prevents leakage or degradation of the solution.
[0056] The cuboidal box 118 is configured with a Peltier unit integrated into its structure to maintain the temperature of the stored solution within a predetermined range. The Peltier unit functions by transferring heat away from or toward the box 118, depending on the required temperature, ensuring that the solution is kept at the optimal temperature for storage 114 or use. The temperature of the box 118 is continuously monitored by an inbuilt temperature sensor, which provides real-time temperature data to the microcontroller. Based on this data, the microcontroller regulates the Peltier unit, activating or deactivating it as needed to maintain the desired temperature range for the solution. This ensures the solution remains stable and effective for future use.
[0057] The Peltier unit works by utilizing the thermoelectric effect, where electrical current is passed through two different types of conductors to create a heat transfer. When current flows, one side of the unit absorbs heat, while the other side releases it, causing a temperature difference. The side of the Peltier unit in contact with the box 118 absorbs heat, cooling the solution inside, while the opposite side releases heat into the environment. The unit is controlled by the microcontroller, which adjusts the current based on temperature readings to maintain the solution within the desired temperature range.
[0058] The temperature sensor operates by converting the temperature into an electrical signal, typically through a thermistor or thermocouple, which varies its resistance or voltage in response to temperature changes. This electrical signal is transmitted to the microcontroller, which processes the data and determines if the temperature is within the predetermined range. If the temperature is outside the set range, the microcontroller reactivates the Peltier unit to either cool or heat the box 118, thereby ensuring the solution is stored at the optimal temperature.
[0059] A GPS (Global Positioning System) unit integrated with the housing 101 of, wherein the GPS unit is configured to detect the geographical location of the housing 101 in real-time. Upon determining the location, the GPS unit communicates this data to the microcontroller. The processor, in turn, uses the detected location information to display relevant information to the user on the integrated display panel 112. This information is presented in the language corresponding to the detected geographical location. The language displayed is automatically adjusted according to the specific region or locale, thereby ensuring that the user is provided with localized content in a language that is appropriate for their geographical area, thereby enhancing user experience and accessibility.
[0060] The GPS unit continuously receives signals from multiple satellites orbiting the Earth. These signals contain information about the satellite's location and the time the signal was transmitted. The GPS receiver in the device calculates the time it took for the signal to travel from each satellite to the receiver. Using this data, the GPS unit determines the device's distance from each satellite, allowing it to triangulate the device’s precise location. This location data is then sent to the microcontroller, which uses the data to update the display panel 112 with relevant localized information in the appropriate language.
[0061] Moreover, a battery is associated with the device for powering up electrical and electronically operated components associated with the device and supplying a voltage to the components. The battery used herein is preferably a Lithium-ion battery which is a rechargeable unit that demands power supply after getting drained. The battery stores the electric current derived from an external source in the form of chemical energy, which when required by the electronic component of the device, derives the required power from the battery for proper functioning of the device.
[0062] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the cuboidal housing 101 as disclosed in the invention possesses four perpendicularly installed telescopic rods 102 with motorized omnidirectional wheels 103 at the ends, for the locomotion of the housing 101. Then the rectangular tray 104 disposed with the lateral surface of the housing 101 by means of the sliding unit 105 for enabling the inward and outward sliding of tray 104. Thereafter the user places their body part on the tray 104 for analysis. Synchronously the microphone 119 provided on the housing 101, to enable the user to input the voice command regarding analysing skin. Now the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 106, determine the type of skin issue present on skin of the user. Then the water tank 107 configured with the spray nozzle 108 for spraying water onto skin of the user for cleaning. Afterwards the moisture sensor embedded in the tray 104 for detecting moisture level on skin of the user. Simultaneously the blower 109 blow air onto the skin for removal of moisture to bring moisture level of the skin within the predetermined range of moisture level. Thereafter the L-shaped telescopic arm 110 integrated with the pH sensor 111 for detecting pH of the skin. Then the touch enabled display panel 112 located on the housing 101 to display the detected pH of the skin.
