BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Make up products, especially lipsticks need to be stored in a specific temperature like (8-12 degrees Celsius approximately). When stored at room temperature lipsticks start melting and lose their consistency. This problem is more faced in summers and while travelling to hot places. Most of consumers keep the lipsticks in refrigerator but due to low temperature lipstick becomes hard and doesn’t work smoothly. And while travelling one has to carry a portable refrigerator. Similar problem can be faced for other cosmetic products, where maintaining an optimum temperature is needed.
[0004] Existing solutions can include storing the cosmetic products in home refrigerator or Portable refrigerator. However, problem while storing the cosmetic products in the home refrigerator is that temperature inside the home refrigerator is low. The cosmetic products like lipstick don’t melt inside refrigerator but they lose their natural consistency and become hard. Consumer can use portable refrigerator for storage but the portable refrigerator are big in size and cannot be carried everywhere like in offices, travelling, shopping malls etc.
[0005] There is a need to overcome above mentioned problems of prior art by bringing a solution that facilitates maintaining an optimum temperature for the cosmetic products without hampering natural consistency and texture of the cosmetic products like lipstick, cream, gel, powder, and the likes. Also, the solution is portable, small in size, easy to carry and handle and can be charged with rechargeable battery.

extract a second set of signals from the first set of signals, wherein the second set of signals pertain to sensed temperature;
compare the second set of signals with a pre-stored temperature limit;
transmit a first set of actuation signals to the thermoelectric module (106) when the compared temperature is beyond the pre-stored temperature limit .
2. The thermoelectric storage device (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller (108) is configured to transmit a second set of actuation signals to the thermoelectric module (106) when the compared temperature is within the pre-stored temperature limit.
3. The thermoelectric storage device (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the thermoelectric module (106) includes a first side and a second side, wherein the thermoelectric module (106) is configured to be in a first mode and a second mode, wherein the first mode pertains to transfer of heat from first side to the second side and the second mode pertains to transfer of heat from second side to the first side , and wherein the first side pertains to heating side and the second side pertains to cooling side.
4. The thermoelectric storage device (100) as claimed in claim 4, wherein the heating side includes a heat sink and configured to transfer the heat outside the device (100) , and wherein the cooling side includes a cooling chamber with one or more cooler fans (310), wherein the one or more cooler fans (310) enables blowing of cool air outside the device (100).
5. The thermoelectric storage device (100) as claimed in claim 3, wherein the first set of actuation signals enables transferring of the heat outside the device (100) and facilitates cooling inside the device (100), and wherein the second set of actuation signals enables transferring of the cool air outside the device (100) and facilitates heating of the device (100), and wherein the thermoelectric module enables maintaining an optimum temperature inside the device.
6. The thermoelectric storage device (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the device (100) includes a power source (306) operatively coupled to the thermoelectric module (106), wherein the power source (306) is configured to supply electric power to the device (100), and wherein the power source (306) includes any or a combination of rechargeable battery, rechargeable cell, and capacitor bank.
7. The thermoelectric storage device (100) as claimed in claim 7, wherein the heat transferred outside the device (100) facilitates charging of the power source (306).
8. The thermoelectric storage device (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the device (100) includes a charging port (308) adapted to accommodate a charger, and wherein the charger facilitates charging of the device (100).
9. The thermoelectric storage device (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the temperature sensor (104), the thermoelectric module (106), the controller (108), the one or more cooler fans (310) and the power source (306) are configured at pre-determined position inside the housing (102).
10. The thermoelectric storage device (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more objects include any or a combination of cosmetic and restorative.
