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. 11,857,726.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

The inventive concept leverages the core technology of a mask sizing tool using a mobile application to create novel solutions for various industries, including livestock feeding, crop health monitoring, personalized pet grooming, animal skin condition detection, and athletic performance optimization.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed a mask sizing tool using a mobile application for detecting, diagnosing, treating, preventing, and ameliorating respiratory-related disorders. However, this technology has limitations in its application scope. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by applying the core technology to entirely different industries, solving problems such as inefficient livestock feeding, crop disease detection, inadequate pet grooming, undiagnosed animal skin conditions, and suboptimal athletic performance.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The new inventive concept comprises a facial recognition module or image analysis module that captures images of livestock, crops, pets, animal skin, or athletes, and analyzes the images to extract relevant features. These features are then used to determine nutritional requirements, detect signs of disease or pests, identify grooming needs, detect skin conditions, or determine physical abilities. The system generates customized feeding plans, treatment recommendations, grooming plans, training plans, or other outputs based on the analyzed features. This technology enables more efficient, accurate, and personalized solutions for various industries.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new inventive concept is novel and non-obvious compared to the original patent because it applies the core technology to entirely new industries and problems, leveraging the same facial recognition and image analysis principles to create innovative solutions. The inventive step lies in the unexpected application of a respiratory-related disorder technology to diverse industries, resulting in a paradigm shift in how these industries operate.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include using different image analysis algorithms, integrating with existing industry-specific software, or incorporating additional sensors or data sources to enhance the accuracy and scope of the solutions. Variations could include applying the technology to other industries, such as human health monitoring, education, or retail.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in various industries, including agriculture, animal health, sports, and pet care. The market for these solutions is substantial, with potential customers including farmers, pet owners, athletes, and healthcare professionals. The technology could be licensed or sold as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, generating revenue through subscription fees or royalties.
