Consumer Information and Sensing System for Consumables and Cosmetic Substances

This invention describes a smartphone-based system that helps you track your food and cosmetics. It lets you input what you want from these items and then tells you their current condition, specifically by sensing color changes (ΔE information) using your phone. It also helps you find them indoors.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced smartphone cameras and on-device AI processing were common. Today, a phone's camera and computational power can more accurately sense and interpret color changes (ΔE) for efficacy, while improved indoor positioning technologies make navigation more robust.
