Abstract: Painting a house needs a lots of efforts and financial burden that may go waste if not choose properly. A number of options are available now-a-days in terms of quality of paint, shades, motifs and tiles. Effect of proper colour combination/ motif or tile combination explains owner"s choice and sophistication. Lighting in room also overall affects the looks. Customized services are available to some extent where some apps show how a room may look on selection of some predefined paint shade. Some applications are there that provide the facility to select pictures of your own home and then test for selected paint shade. Such apps run on computer systems and are unable to give actual idea for shades. They don"t provide such facilities for motifs or for tiles. Some users may hire an expert for such services. Moreover all such services are not much user friendly and are a burden on one"s pocket. A solution is invented to provide a handheld device that duplicates such effects of paint shades/ motifs and tiles or a combination of any two on a wall. Users have choice of motifs/tiles and colour shades and the system will be designed to be user friendly, cost effective and close to feel for reality.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a standalone system that will be used and managed by paint shopkeepers, individual users and architects themselves without any expertise assistance. It relates to the field of painting solution for paint shopkeepers, individual users and architectures. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and system for enabling a complete unified view capable of giving real feel of paint/motif/tiles selected by user for the wall and up to an extent the combine view of wall paint with motif/tiles for some selected patterns.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The Present invention will be used by persons in the field of painting solutions e.g. paint retailers', individual users and architects.
There exists today a wide variety of painting aids in the form of online application programs that gives an idea of how a selected colour will look on wall by applying colours on to the prestored room images or user uploaded room images. In the current state of the art, all such options are available online by individual paint brands or by some other resources. But for any such applications an extra device such as computer system with internet connection is needed.
Some systems in the form of mobile application are also available that provides virtual view for painting options on selection of colours through the mobile application. But for such mobile applications an extra device i.e. a smart phone (with bigger screen and high resolution) with internet connectivity is required.
These current set of applications provide a virtual view on computer/mobile screen for painting options selected and mainly for a specific brand only. No option is available for motifs and/or tiles. With these applications, sometimes it become difficult for any buyer to select colour shades so as to enable buyer to, get a complete feel of paint shade selected with any brand. Moreover they provide merely colour shades identification and presentation and not for motifs and/or tile.
Available online painting solutions/ mobile applications provide merely a virtual view for any colour shade selected and not the real feel. Moreover they lack in providing combinational view of colour shade with motifs and/or tiles for some selected patterns e.g. cyan border on bottle green colour wall. Some online painting solutions provides virtual view for pre stored rooms only while some provides buyer an option to upload own pictures of room. But the feel for colour combination is missing there. Moreover all such options are brand specific.
What is needed, then, is a system design which provides a visual view on wall
with real feel for shade selected and up to some extent provides combinational
view of shade selected with motif/tile independent of brand specific colour
shading.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The principal object of this invention is a system design that provides real feel of painting solution on wall enabling user to select colour combinations according to users own choice, upholstery and furniture in room, room size or lighting in room. System is a combination of sensing& visual view that provides real feel for the colour selected. System is targeted for paint retailers', individual users and architects but can be used by any individual. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
