Abstract

A collector (202) captures light from source images as a field of pixels, a color analyzer (292) analyzes a proper subset (420) of the field to produce a plurality of color values, and a cosmetic analyzer then uses the color values to produce a cosmetic color determination. Another aspect of the present invention comprises a window having a light passage area, a color calibration region that is not coextensive with the light passage area, and a detectable product identification region. The window may also contain a mechanism that tends to preclude multiple uses. A third aspect of the present invention is a system that combines the collector, the color analyzer, the cosmetic analyzer, and window.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 13 July 2001 (13.07.01); original claims 1, 5-6, 12 and 21 amended; remaining claims unchanged (3 pages)]
1. A system comprising: a collector that captures light as a field of pixels reflecting off of a three dimensional object; a color analyzer that uses data from the pixels to produce a plurality of color values for each of a plurality of proper subsets of the field; and a cosmetic analyzer that combines the plurality of color values firom the subsets to produce a cosmetic color determination.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of proper subsets comprises more than 10 proper subsets.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of proper subsets comprises more than
102 proper subsets.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of proper subsets comprises more than
103 proper subsets.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the collector comprises a camera.
6. The system of claim 1 wherein the collector comprises a video camera.
7. The system of claim 3 wherein the collector comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes that emit broad band light.
8. The system of claim 3 wherein the light includes a wavelength between 400 nanometers and 1000 nanometers.
9. The system of claim 3 wherein the system further comprises a housing that includes the collector and a wireless modem 212.
10. The system of claim 3 wherein the cosmetic color deteπ-ώaation comprises a numeric value.
11. The system of claim 3 wherein the cosmetic color deteπnination comprises a non- numeric value.
12
12. A window comprising a light passage area having (i) a color calibration region that is not coextensive with the light passage area, thereby leaving a portion of the light passage area that is not affected by any color calibration; and (ii) a visually detectable product identification region.
13. The window of claim 12 wherein the color calibration region comprises no more than 5% of the light passage area.
14. The window of claim 12 wherein the product identification region comprises a trademark.
15. The window of claim 12 wherein the product identification region comprises a chemical that undergoes a visually delectable chemical reaction over a period of less than one hour.
16. The window of claim 12 wherein Hie chemical reaction is triggered by light.
17. The window of claim 12 wherein the chemical reaction is triggered by air.
18. The window of claim 12 wherein the color calibration region comprises the visually detectable product identification region.
19. The window of claim 18 wherein the color calibration region comprises a trademark.
20. The window of claim 18 wherein the color calibration region comprises a chemical that undergoes a visually detectable chemical reaction over a period of less than one hour.
21. A system comprising: a collector that captures light as a field of pixels; a color analyzer that uses data from the pixels to produce a plurality of color values for each of a plurality of proper subsets of the field; a cosmetic analyzer that f.nmbι'τif!s [uses] the plurality of color values frnm the sτιT.sp.t< to produce a cosmetic color determination; and a window, removably coupled to the collector, through which the captured light passes, comprising a Hght passage area having (i) a color calibration region
13 that is not coextensive with the hght passage area; and (ii) a visually detectable product identification region.
