PRINTING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR APPLYING A DESIGN TO AT LEAST ONE FINGERNAIL/TOENAIL SURFACE

摘要

The invention relates to a system comprising an apparatus (1) for applying a design to a fingernail/toenail surface (SO), comprising: a server (5) integrating a database (50), terminals (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) generating a design in the form of digital data, each terminal communicating with the server (5), so that said data generated are transmitted to said server, the server (5) stores in a hierarchized manner the data received, said data being stored in memory areas (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d), which memory areas are accessible by password and/or identifier, a touchpad (4) connected to the apparatus, which pad comprises a means for communicating with the server (5) and accessing one of the memory areas (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) and downloading the stored data, which downloaded data correspond to the design to be applied to the fingernail/toenail surface (SO).

主权项

1. Printing system comprising at least one apparatus for applying a design on at least one nail surface, said apparatus comprising:
a guide or print to position at least one nail surface, an optical device for acquiring an image of the nail surface, a print head, a motor for displacing the print head in order to apply a design on the nail surface, a control unit comprising:
connection to communicate with the optical device,a computer application comprising instructions for controlling the motor according to the image of the nail surface acquired and according to the design, in such a way as to direct the print head in order that it applies said design on the nail surface, the system comprising:
at least one remote server of the apparatus, said server comprising at least one database wherein digital data is recorded,a series of terminals belonging to a user community, each said terminal comprising at a camera or design software for generating a design in the form of digital data, each said terminal communicating, by the intermediary of an internet network, with the remote server, in such a way that said data generated is transmitted to said remote server, the remote server comprises a computer application comprising instructions to store in a hierarchical way the digital data received, said data being stored in memory zones of the database, said memory zones are associated with each of the users of the community and can be accessed via password and/or identifier, the control unit has the form of a touch-screen tablet connected in a removable manner to the apparatus, said tablet communicating, by the intermediary of an internet network, with the remote server, in such a way that said tablet can access at least one of the memory zones and download the digital data which is stored therein, said downloaded data corresponding to the design to be applied on the nail surface.
