This invention describes a device that dispenses hair products using a motor-driven nozzle. As it dispenses, the device generates signals, such as how much power the motor uses or its position. These signals are sent to a computer system, which analyzes them to automatically figure out specific characteristics of the user's hair, like its texture or condition, and then stores this information.
Why it matters: The rapid evolution of machine learning models and sensor fusion techniques since 2023 could now enable more accurate and robust inference of hair characteristics from indirect device usage data.
