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. 11,857,660.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

An innovative system integrating hair color toning compositions with AI, IoT, blockchain, and nanomaterials to provide personalized, real-time hair color monitoring and customization.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed compositions and methods for imparting color and tone to hair. However, these compositions lacked the ability to provide real-time monitoring, personalized recommendations, and authenticity verification. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by integrating the patented compositions with distinct technologies to create a more powerful system.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The synergistic hair color toning system comprises a composition according to claim 1, a handheld IoT-enabled device for real-time hair color monitoring, and an AI-powered color matching algorithm for personalized color recommendations. Additionally, the system may utilize blockchain technology to track and verify the origin and authenticity of the composition. The composition may also incorporate a nanomaterial-based delivery system for targeted and controlled release. Furthermore, the system may include a wearable IoT device for monitoring hair color and moisture levels, and a cloud-based platform for data analysis and personalized hair care recommendations.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a synergistic combination of the patented composition with AI, IoT, blockchain, and nanomaterials, providing a novel and non-obvious solution for personalized hair color toning and monitoring. The integration of these distinct technologies enables real-time monitoring, authenticity verification, and targeted delivery, which are not addressed by the original patent.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept may include variations in the IoT device design, AI algorithm implementation, blockchain architecture, and nanomaterial selection. Additionally, the system may be adapted for use with different hair types, colors, and styles, or integrated with other beauty and wellness products.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The synergistic hair color toning system has significant commercial potential in the beauty and wellness industry, particularly in the hair care segment. The system's ability to provide personalized, real-time hair color monitoring and customization may appeal to consumers seeking unique and high-quality hair care experiences. The market for this inventive concept is expected to grow as consumers increasingly demand innovative, technology-driven solutions for their hair care needs.
