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. 11,857,332.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

An improved system for determining the degree of elongation of hair using a NIR sensor, enabling more accurate and efficient hair analysis.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent for determining hair elongation using a NIR sensor has limitations in terms of accuracy and efficiency. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing multi-wavelength detection, real-time analysis, and personalized hair care recommendations.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The enhanced system comprises a NIR sensor capable of detecting hair characteristics at multiple wavelengths, and an evaluation unit that evaluates the detected characteristics to determine the degree of elongation of hair. The system can also detect hair characteristics at multiple angles and provide real-time analysis. Additionally, the system can provide personalized hair care recommendations based on the determined degree of elongation.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce the novelty of multi-wavelength detection, real-time analysis, and personalized hair care recommendations, which are not present in the original patent. These features provide a significant improvement in accuracy and efficiency, making the new inventive concept non-obvious and novel.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include using different types of sensors, such as spectrometers or cameras, or incorporating machine learning algorithms to improve the accuracy of hair analysis. Variations could also include using the system for analyzing different types of hair, such as curly or colored hair.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The enhanced hair elongation determination system has significant commercial potential in the hair care industry, particularly in the development of personalized hair care products and services. The system could be marketed to hair care companies, salons, and spas, providing them with a more accurate and efficient way to analyze hair and offer tailored recommendations to their customers.
