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. 11,857,058.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent for a cosmetic container with a scraping member addressed the need for efficient cosmetic application. However, it had limitations in terms of user experience, inventory management, and cosmetic storage. The new invention overcomes these limitations by combining the scraping member with cutting-edge technologies to create a more powerful system.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new invention's novelty lies in the synergistic combination of the scraping member with AI, IoT, blockchain, and nanomaterials. The inventive step is the integration of these technologies to create a more powerful system that provides enhanced user experience, optimized cosmetic application, and improved inventory management.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the invention include using different types of AI algorithms, such as deep learning or natural language processing, to enhance the dispensing process. Another variation is the use of different IoT-enabled sensors, such as temperature or humidity sensors, to detect environmental factors affecting cosmetic application. Additionally, the invention can be adapted for use with different types of cosmetics, such as skincare or haircare products.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The new invention has significant commercial potential in the cosmetic industry, particularly in the areas of personalized beauty and skincare. The system's ability to provide optimized cosmetic application, improved inventory management, and enhanced user experience makes it an attractive solution for cosmetic companies looking to differentiate themselves in a competitive market. The target industries include beauty and personal care, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare.
