This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,051.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent, 'Composition dispenser applicator with dynamically adjustable protrusions, bristles or tines, and method of use', provided an innovative solution for adjustable composition dispensing. However, it had limitations in terms of customization, data analysis, and integration with other technologies. The new invention addresses these limitations by combining the adjustable composition dispenser with emerging technologies to create more powerful, personalized, and efficient beauty systems.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce novel and non-obvious combinations of the adjustable composition dispenser with emerging technologies, providing a synergistic effect that enhances the functionality, customization, and efficiency of the beauty systems. The integration of AI, IoT, blockchain, novel materials, and augmented reality technologies with the adjustable composition dispenser is unprecedented and provides a new paradigm for precision beauty systems.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Other embodiments of the invention may include integrating the adjustable composition dispenser with other emerging technologies such as robotics, 3D printing, or biometrics. Variations of the invention may also include different types of beauty systems, such as nail care or fragrance applications, or different forms of data analysis, such as machine learning or natural language processing.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The invention has significant commercial potential in the beauty and personal care industry, with applications in precision hair treatment, customized skin care, smart hair coloration, predictive maintenance, and virtual try-on. The market for these applications is vast, with an estimated global value of over $500 billion. The invention's ability to provide personalized, efficient, and customized beauty solutions makes it an attractive opportunity for companies and entrepreneurs in the beauty and technology sectors.
