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. 11,857,667.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

The inventive concept discloses a next-generation, personalized skincare system that leverages AI, machine learning, and user input to create customized, multi-purpose cosmetic compositions tailored to individual skin types and concerns.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed multi-purpose cosmetic compositions suitable for various skin types. However, these compositions were limited by their one-size-fits-all approach, failing to account for individual skin concerns and preferences. The new inventive concept addresses this limitation by introducing a personalized skincare system that adapts to the unique needs of each user.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The inventive concept encompasses a range of personalized skincare systems, including user-input devices, skin-type determination modules, formulation generators, machine learning algorithms, wearable skin diagnostic devices, virtual skincare assistants, and cloud-based platforms. These systems utilize AI-powered sensors, augmented reality, and crowdsourced data to analyze user skin types, concerns, and preferences, generating customized multi-purpose cosmetic compositions that cater to specific needs. The systems can also adapt to changing skin conditions and user preferences over time.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a paradigm shift in the skincare industry by leveraging AI, machine learning, and user input to create personalized, adaptive, and bespoke multi-purpose cosmetic compositions. This inventive concept is novel and non-obvious compared to the original patent, which focused on fixed, one-size-fits-all compositions.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept may include variations in user-input devices, skin-type determination modules, and formulation generators. For example, the user-input device could be a mobile app, a voice assistant, or a physical kiosk. The skin-type determination module could utilize different AI-powered sensors or machine learning algorithms. The formulation generator could produce compositions with varying textures, viscosities, or active ingredients.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the skincare industry, particularly in the personalized and bespoke skincare segments. The target market includes consumers seeking customized skincare solutions, as well as skincare companies and retailers looking to offer differentiated products and services. The inventive concept may also have applications in related industries, such as dermatology, cosmetics, and health and wellness.
