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. 11,857,656.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

The present disclosure relates to novel systems, methods, and kits that integrate advanced technologies, such as AI, IoT, blockchain, and nanomaterials, with the patented hair color alteration concept to provide personalized, efficient, and secure hair color experiences.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed systems, methods, and kits for altering the color of the hair, but lacked the power of synergistic combinations with emerging technologies. The new inventive concept addresses the limitations of the original patent by incorporating AI-powered color matching, IoT-enabled hair analysis, blockchain-based tracking, and nanomaterial-based dye delivery to provide a more comprehensive and personalized hair color alteration experience.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The new inventive concept integrates the patented hair color alteration concept with advanced technologies to create a more powerful system. The system comprises a microtube-dye composite, an AI-powered color matching module, and a blockchain-based tracking system for monitoring color treatment history. Additionally, the system may include IoT-enabled hair analysis devices, a machine learning algorithm for optimizing color deposition, and a nanomaterial-based dye delivery system. The system enables personalized hair color experiences, secure storage of hair color data, and real-time hair color analysis using computer vision and machine learning.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce novel synergistic combinations of advanced technologies with the patented hair color alteration concept, providing a non-obvious and innovative solution for personalized hair color experiences. The integration of AI, IoT, blockchain, and nanomaterials with the patented concept creates a new, more powerful system that is not obvious from the original patent.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept may include variations in the AI-powered color matching module, such as using different machine learning algorithms or incorporating additional data sources. Other variations may include different types of IoT-enabled hair analysis devices or alternative nanomaterial-based dye delivery systems.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the beauty and personal care industry, particularly in the hair color market. The system's ability to provide personalized, efficient, and secure hair color experiences makes it an attractive solution for consumers and professionals alike. The market potential is substantial, with opportunities for partnerships with beauty companies, salons, and e-commerce platforms.
