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. 11,857,060.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent described a cosmetic dispenser that wirelessly communicates with an external device. However, it had limitations in terms of user experience, customization, and authenticity verification. The present invention addresses these limitations by incorporating cutting-edge technologies to create a more advanced and user-centric system.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a paradigm shift in cosmetic dispensing technology by incorporating advanced technologies such as AI, AR, and blockchain. The integration of these technologies enables a more personalized, efficient, and secure cosmetic dispensing experience, making the original invention obsolete.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Other embodiments of the invention could include the use of other advanced technologies such as 5G connectivity, IoT sensors, or biometric authentication. The system could also be integrated with other devices such as smart mirrors, virtual assistants, or mobile apps to provide a more comprehensive beauty experience.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The smart cosmetic dispenser system has vast commercial potential in the beauty and cosmetics industry, particularly in the premium and luxury segments. The system could be marketed as a high-end product for individual consumers or as a commercial solution for beauty salons, spas, and retailers.

Field of Art
