Systems and methods to initiate and perform the painting of an area of interest on a finger are herein disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of capturing an image of the finger in response to receiving a request to paint the area of interest on the finger and using the image of the finger to ascertain an area of interest of the fingernail to be painted. One embodiment includes, in response to determining that the user is satisfied with the area of interest that has been determined, initiating the painting of the area of interest and/or depicting, in real time, the painting of the area of interest to the user.

Disclosed is a printing device including: a first nozzle that ejects a first ink; a second nozzle that ejects a second ink; a third nozzle that ejects a third ink; and at least one processor that, upon performing alignment adjustment of one nozzle preparing one of the first nozzle and any of the second nozzle and the third nozzle for alignment pattern printing and the other of the first nozzle and any of the second nozzle and the third nozzle for auxiliary printing, controls to eject any of the first to third inks selected based on ejection information from among the second ink in the second cartridge and the third ink in the third cartridge, from any of the first to third nozzles for the alignment pattern printing or the auxiliary printing. The first ink, the second ink and the third ink have different colors from each other.

An image forming device includes a first discharging device configured to discharge a first active energy curing composition (1) containing a first (meth)acrylic amide compound (A) having a (meth)acrylic group and a first polymerization initiator (C) to a medium, a first exposing device configured to expose the first active energy curing composition (1) applied to the medium to first active energy, and a second discharging device configured to discharge an ink (2) containing a coloring material, a water-soluble organic solvent, and water to the first active energy curing composition (1) exposed to the first active energy.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique to adjust an inclination of a surface of a nail. One embodiment of the present invention is a nail printing apparatus that prints an image on a nail and includes: a finger placement unit capable of lifting and lowering on which a finger corresponding to the nail is placed; and an adjustment unit configured to adjust an inclination in a height direction of a tip side and a bottom side of a surface of the nail corresponding to the finger placed on the finger placement unit.

An electronic apparatus includes a mobile object, a moving mechanism, and a functional mechanism. The mobile object has a first contact member and performs a moving operation within a drawing area and a set drawing operation on a drawing medium. The moving mechanism moves the mobile object. The functional mechanism has a portion located within the drawing area and takes a standby state and a function exercised state in which a set function is exercised. The functional mechanism includes a movable portion having a second contact member. In an abutting state where the first contact member and the second contact member come into contact with each other outside the drawing area, the mobile object moves along a movable direction of the movable portion so that the movable portion moves to bring the functional mechanism into the function exercised state.

A nail polish application apparatus, comprising a mounting element comprising a capsule compartment adapted to receive one or more capsules containing a nail polish fluid wherein the mounting element is moveable by actuator(s) in longitudinal axis crossing a nail polish applying space and in lateral axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is rotatable by the actuator(s) around the longitudinal axis, a pressure applying element adapted to apply pressure on a body portion of the capsule(s) installed in the capsule compartment wherein the body portion defines a reservoir containing a nail polish fluid, the pressure builds an internal pressure in the reservoir forcing extrusion of the nail polish fluid to a nail polish applying element integrated with the capsule(s), sensor(s) adapted to generate sensory data depicting the nail polish applying space and a control unit adapted to operate the actuator(s) and the pressure according to analysis of the sensory data.

The present disclosure relates to a method, device, storage medium, and system for sharing a nail printing pattern. The method may include receiving the nail printing pattern and price information of the nail printing pattern uploaded by a first account via a first user terminal or a first nail printing device; verifying the nail printing pattern and the price information of the nail printing pattern based on a preset rule; and if the nail printing pattern qualifies for the preset rule, storing qualified nail printing pattern to a server.

Disclosed is a printing device including: a finger stage on which a finger corresponding to a nail is placed, the nail being a printing target; a carriage which has at least one reflector; and a camera which obtains at least an image of the nail of the finger placed on the finger stage from an upper direction and an image of the nail of the finger reflected in the reflector.

Systems and methods to initiate and perform the painting of an area of interest on a finger are herein disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of capturing an image of the finger in response to receiving a request to paint the area of interest on the finger and using the image of the finger to ascertain an area of interest of the fingernail to be painted. One embodiment includes, in response to determining that the user is satisfied with the area of interest that has been determined, initiating the painting of the area of interest and/or depicting, in real time, the painting of the area of interest to the user.

A method for controlling a printer to print on a recording medium having a non-contact tag by a processor of the printer is provided. The method comprises placing the recording medium on a placement area of the printer; wireless reading, from the non-contact tag, a plurality of pieces of identification information each for identifying a specific image; detecting whether any one of a plurality operation buttons provided on the printer has been pressed by a user, wherein the pressed operation button is corresponding to one of plurality of pieces of identification information; acquiring, from a storage device provided in the printer, the specific image corresponding the one of plurality of pieces of identification information selected by the pressed operation button; and printing the specific image on the recording medium.
