A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11960713B2) discloses a user device equipped with a computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that enable the device to assist users in selecting paint colors for their rooms based on room type and associated feelings. The device displays various room types and phrases related to different emotions, allowing users to make selections. By accessing a lookup table associating room types, phrases, and paint colors, the device determines a subset of recommended paint colors for the specific room type and chosen phrase, providing users with personalized color recommendations.

Furthermore, the patent includes claims for methods and systems involving user devices communicating with web servers to access and retrieve data from the lookup table. The user device can send room type and phrase selections to the web server, which then transmits the associated subset of paint colors back to the device. Additionally, the system involves the execution of code within a web browser or a mobile application on devices like mobile phones or tablets. This innovative technology aims to simplify the process of selecting paint colors by offering tailored recommendations based on room type and emotional associations, enhancing the overall user experience in interior design projects.
