Analysis and feedback system for personal care routines
A computer system obtains digital video data of at least one physical consumer product (e.g., two or more cosmetics products) in a personal care routine; analyzes the digital video data (e.g., using automated object recognition or gesture recognition techniques); detects at least one physical interaction with the at least one physical consumer product (e.g., two or more applications of cosmetics products) based at least in part on the analysis of the digital video data; and causes customized personal care routine data (e.g., a computer animation simulation or a comparison of the user's routine with routines of other users) to be presented in a user interface. The customized personal care routine data is based at least in part on the at least one physical interaction.
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising, by a computer system comprising one or more computing devices:
obtaining digital video data of at least one physical consumer product being used in a first personal care routine;
analyzing the digital video data using object recognition and gesture recognition;
detecting at least one physical act of using the at least one physical consumer product in the first personal care routine based at least in part on the analysis of the digital video data;
comparing the detected at least one physical act with at least one physical act in a second personal care routine;
determining a recommended change to performance of the detected at least one physical act in the first personal care routine based at least in part on the comparing;
generating customized personal care routine data comprising the recommended change to the performance of the detected at least one physical act in the first personal care routine; and
causing the customized personal care routine data to be presented in a user interface.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one physical consumer product comprises two or more physical consumer products.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising obtaining product information for the at least one physical consumer product, wherein the customized personal care routine data is further based on the product information.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the product information is extracted from a graphical code on the at least one physical consumer product.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein causing the customized personal care routine data to be presented in the user interface comprises:
transmitting the customized personal care routine data to a client computer system, wherein the user interface is implemented in the client computer system.
6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
representing the at least one physical consumer product as an object in a personal care routine simulation engine; and
representing the detected at least one physical act of using the at least one physical consumer product as an interaction with the object in the personal care routine simulation engine.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the customized personal care routine data further comprises a computer-animation simulation of a personal care routine generated by the personal care routine simulation engine.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one physical consumer product comprises a cosmetics product.
9. A computer system comprising:
a camera;
a processor; and
computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions configured to cause the computer system to perform steps comprising:
capturing digital video data of at least one physical consumer product being used in a first personal care routine;
analyzing the digital video data using object recognition and gesture recognition;
detecting at least one physical act of using the at least one physical consumer product in the first personal care routine based at least in part on the analysis of the digital video data;
comparing the detected at least one physical act with at least one physical act in a second personal care routine;
determining a recommended change to performance of the detected at least one physical act in the first personal care routine based at least in part on the comparing;
obtaining customized personal care routine data comprising the recommended change to the performance of the detected at least one physical act in the first personal care routine; and
presenting the customized personal care routine data in a user interface of the computer system.
10. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one physical consumer product comprises two or more physical consumer products.
11. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the computer system to capture a digital image of a graphical code on the at least one physical consumer product or obtain product information from the at least one physical consumer product via short-range radio-frequency communication.
12. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the customized personal care routine data further comprises a computer-animation simulation of a personal care routine.
13. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the customized personal care routine data further comprises a comparison with other users.
14. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one physical consumer product comprises a cosmetics product.
15. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the computer system comprises a smartphone.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions configured to, when executed by one or more computing devices of a computer system, cause the computer system to perform steps comprising:
obtaining digital video data of a plurality of physical consumer products being used in a first personal care routine;
analyzing the digital video data using object recognition and gesture recognition;
detecting physical acts of using the plurality of physical consumer products in the first personal care routine based at least in part on the analysis of the digital video data;
comparing the detected physical acts with a sequence of interactions in a second personal care routine;
determining a recommended change to performance of the detected physical acts in the first personal care routine based at least in part on the comparing;
generating customized personal care routine data comprising the recommended change to the performance of the detected physical acts in the first personal care routine; and
transmitting the customized personal care routine data to a client computer system, thereby causing the customized personal care routine data to be presented in a user interface of the client computer system.
17. The computer-readable medium of claim 16 , the steps further comprising obtaining product information for at least one of the plurality of physical consumer products, wherein the customized personal care routine data is further based on the product information.
18. The computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the recommended change to performance of the detected physical acts comprises a recommended change to the order of the detected physical acts.
19. The computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the recommended change to performance of the detected physical acts comprises a recommended change to a product being used in at least one of the detected physical acts.
