Abstract

A computer system obtains digital video data of at least one physical consumer product (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.

Claims (45)

1. 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 personal care routine;

obtaining and decoding encoded product information that identifies the physical consumer products being used;

analyzing the digital video data using object recognition and gesture recognition;

detecting physical acts of using the plurality of physical consumer products in the personal care routine based at least in part on the analysis of the digital video data;

determining a recommended change to the personal care routine based at least in part on the decoded product information;

generating customized personal care routine data comprising the recommended change to the 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.

2. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the recommended change to the personal care routine comprises a recommended change to the detected physical acts.

3. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the recommended change to the personal care routine comprises a recommended change to a product being used in at least one of the detected physical acts.

4. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the encoded product information is obtained from graphical codes on the physical consumer products.

5. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the encoded product information is obtained from the physical consumer products via radio frequency communication.

6. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the detecting of the physical acts of using the physical consumer products is based at least in part on the identification of the physical consumer products being used.

7. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the physical consumer products comprise a cosmetics product.

8. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the physical consumer products comprise a brush or applicator.

9. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , the steps further comprising:

representing the physical consumer products as objects in a personal care routine simulation engine; and

representing the detected physical acts as interactions with the object in the personal care routine simulation engine.

10. A computer system comprising:

a processor; and

computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions configured to cause the computer system to perform steps comprising:

obtaining digital video data of a plurality of physical consumer products being used in a personal care routine;

obtaining and decoding encoded product information that identifies the physical consumer products being used;

analyzing the digital video data using object recognition and gesture recognition;

detecting physical acts of using the plurality of physical consumer products in the personal care routine based at least in part on the analysis of the digital video data;

determining a recommended change to the personal care routine based at least in part on the decoded product information.

11. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause a client computing device to capture a digital image of a graphical code on at least one of the physical consumer products or obtain the encoded product information from the at least one physical consumer product via radio-frequency communication.

12. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the recommended change to the personal care routine comprises a recommended change to the detected physical acts.

13. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the recommended change to the personal care routine comprises a recommended change to a product being used in at least one of the detected physical acts.

14. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the encoded product information is obtained from graphical codes on the physical consumer products.

15. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the encoded product information is obtained from the physical consumer products via radio frequency communication.

16. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the detecting of the physical acts of using the physical consumer products is based at least in part on the identification of the physical consumer products being used.

17. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the physical consumer products comprise a cosmetics product.

18. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the physical consumer products comprise a brush or applicator.

19. The computer system of claim 10 , the steps further comprising:

representing the physical consumer products as objects in a personal care routine simulation engine; and

representing the detected physical acts as interactions with the object in the personal care routine simulation engine.

20. A computer-implemented method, comprising, by a computer system comprising one or more computing devices:

obtaining digital video data of a plurality of physical consumer products being used in a personal care routine;

obtaining and decoding encoded product information that identifies the physical consumer products being used;

analyzing the digital video data using object recognition and gesture recognition;

detecting physical acts of using the plurality of physical consumer products in the personal care routine based at least in part on the analysis of the digital video data;

determining a recommended change to the personal care routine based at least in part on the decoded product information;

generating customized personal care routine data comprising the recommended change to the 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.
