Abstract

Method, system, and apparatus to facilitate mixing of at least one colour to achieve a desired colour consistency to perform one or more activities. Particularly, the present system includes multiple user devices, a cloud server, and a colour mixing dispensing apparatus. In operation, multiple user devices are accessible to a user via a user interface to input data by the user to select at least one colour coding parameter. The cloud server includes at least one memory adapted to store data for the at least one colour coding parameter in a colour database and at least one processor that is adapted to execute processor-executable code. In practice, the colour mixing dispensing apparatus is configured to provide instant colour mixing to the user by receiving a set of instructions from the cloud server via a communication network.

Claims (40)

1. A colour mixing dispensing apparatus to facilitate mixing of at least one colour to achieve a desired colour consistency to perform one or more activities comprising:

a dispensing housing unit comprising a plurality of dispensers and each dispenser is housing a colour composition in a cartridge member configured to dispense measured quantity of said desired colour consistency composition to perform said one or more activities;

a controller module comprising a dosing sub-module configured to control dispense of said desired colour consistency based on input data received from an user via a communication network, an activation sub-module configured to receive said set of instructions to activate operation of a controller member to drive at least one drive gear by validating and making a determination of colour code recipe data provided by said user, an execution sub-module configured to execute at least one colour coding parameter sensed by said at least one sensor and an analysis sub-module configured to analyse said at least one colour coding parameter; and

a collector member to receive at least one desired colour consistency composition from said at least one dispenser from said cartridge member to generate instant colour mixing colour composition at a defined time frame to perform said one or more activities;

wherein said colour mixing dispensing apparatus is configured to provide instant colour mixing to said user by receiving a set of instructions from a cloud server via said communication network and said cloud server comprises at least one memory adapted to store input data for said at least one colour coding parameter in a colour database and at least one processor that is adapted to execute processor-executable code;

wherein, said at least one processor in response to execution, enables said cloud server to perform actions, including, for each module of a plurality of modules on said colour mixing dispensing apparatus and each module of said plurality of modules are capable of being used interoperably with other modules and a plurality of sub-modules without altering the other modules and sub-modules;

wherein, said cartridge member is further configured to discharge said desired colour consistency composition based on said at least one colour coding parameter selected from anyone of minimum volume dispersion of one or more desired colour consistency composition dispensed from said at least one cartridge met ber and said at least one colour coding parameter is retrieved from said colour recipe parameter module from said cloud server;

wherein said at least one colour coding parameter is selected from a plurality of different viscosity range to achieve said desired colour consistency composition in response to said input data received by said user and, said cartridge member is configured to discharge said at least one colour coding parameter selected from said plurality of different viscosity range dispensed from said at least one cartridge member and said at least one colour coding parameter is retrieved from said colour recipe parameter module from said cloud server; and

wherein, said input data is a colour code recipe data and said input data is stored in said colour database.

2. The colour mixing dispensing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said colour mixing dispensing apparatus further comprises:

an elongated member configured to mate with said at least one drive gear via said controller member and said at least one sensor positioned over said elongated member to sense said at least one colour coding parameter; and

a cartridge holder means to hold said cartridge member in position to dispense said desired colour consistency composition;

wherein; said controller member is a DC motor.

3. The colour mixing dispensing apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said cloud server comprises a colour coding module configured to process said input data received from said user and store said data in said colour database and a colour recipe parameter module configured to execute and analyse said input data received from said colour coding module and providing a set of instructions for instant colour mixing to said colour mixing dispensing apparatus at a defined time frame.

4. The colour mixing dispensing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein air pressure control is provided for operating said dispensing housing unit by said controller member of said dispenser.

5. The colour mixing dispensing apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said defined time frame is any one selected from a pre-defined time period and real time dispersion of at least one selected colour provided by said input data.

6. The colour mixing dispensing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said one or more activities is any one selected from nail paint, gel for nail polish, face foundation and beauty cosmetic.

7. The colour mixing dispensing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said controller module is in electronic communication with a dispenser user interface and electrically powered by a power controller.

8. A method to facilitate mixing of at least one colour to achieve a desired colour consistency to perform one or more activities, said method comprising the steps of:

receiving input data by at least one user to select at least one colour coding parameter;

storing input data for said at least one colour coding parameter;

processing said input data to execute processor-executable code;

receiving a set of instructions to activate operation of controller member to drive at least one drive gear by validating and making a determination of said input data provided by said user;

providing motorized control for operating said dispensing housing unit by said controller member of said dispenser;

mating at least one drive gear with said controller member and an elongated member with said at least one drive gear; and

sensing at least one parameter by at least one sensor position ed over said elongated member;

analysing said at least one colour coding parameter and executing said at least one colour coding parameter sensed by said at least one sensor;

communicating said input data to a controller module of a colour mixing dispensing apparatus via a communication network;

determining dispense of a desired colour consistency based on said input data by a dosing sub-module of said controller module to control dispense of said desired colour consistency based on said input data received from said user via said communication network;

generating instant colour mixing colour composition by said colour mixing dispensing apparatus at a defined time frame to perform said one or more activities wherein, said colour mixing dispensing apparatus comprises a dispensing housing unit and said dispensing housing unit comprises a plurality of dispensers;

wherein, at least one desired colour consistency composition from at least one dispenser is received and, each dispenser is housing a colour composition in a cartridge member, and each said cartridge member is dispensing measured quantity of colour into a collector member of said colour mixing dispensing apparatus based on said input data received via said communication network;

wherein said one or more activities is any one selected from nail paint, gel for nail polish; and

wherein said input data is a colour code recipe data.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said method further comprises the steps of:

activating operation of said controller member to drive said at least one drive gear by an activation sub module of said controller module;

determining validation of said input data by said activation sub module;

analysing said at least one colour coding parameter by an analysis sub-module of said controller module;

executing said at least one colour coding parameter by an execution sub-module of said controller module;
