Apparatus for dispensing cosmetic material with coded dispensing surface
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11882913B2) discloses an innovative apparatus for dispensing cosmetic material. The apparatus includes a dispensing device capable of receiving multiple cartridges, each containing a different cosmetic material, and dispensing a specified amount onto a dispensing surface through corresponding outlets. The dispensing surface is partitioned into compartments surrounding each outlet, with the ability to transmit information about these compartments to an external device. Additionally, a visible code on the dispensing surface encodes information about the compartments, allowing the external device to detect the specific position of each compartment based on the code's location in a captured image.
Furthermore, the patent details various features of the apparatus, such as the removable nature of the partitioned dispensing surface, the use of different materials for the compartments, and the inclusion of embedded objects like near field communication (NFC) tags for sensing by a detection device. The method implemented by the apparatus involves receiving cartridges, dispensing cosmetic material onto the partitioned surface, and transmitting compartment information to an external device using the visible code. This innovative system aims to enhance the dispensing of cosmetic materials by providing accurate information about compartment locations and contents, ultimately improving user experience and efficiency in cosmetic applications.
