Abstract:
A modular device includes base and color sensing portions. The color sensing portion has a face, a controlled light source offset from the face to define an interior, the face configured to engage a target surface about a perimeter of the device housing wherein ambient light is restricted from entering the interior. A color sensor receives light reflected from the target surface and generates output signals representative of a surface color. The base portion communicates with the color sensor and a user device having a hosted program which generates a user interface enabling users to provide control input for the color sensor. The program further receives the output signals from the color sensing device and displays a first image of the detected color, and displays a second image of a user-selected color beside the first image. Color data values are further displayed corresponding to the difference between displayed colors.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of color sensing implemented using a color sensing device comprising\n positioning a color sensing device to engage a target surface, said color sensing device comprising a color sensor and a light source in an interior thereof, wherein ambient light is substantially restricted from entering the interior of the color sensing device; generating a user interface enabling a user to select from a plurality of available lighting conditions for the color sensing device, and to select one or more of a plurality of colors stored in a database; controlling a light output of the light source based at least in part on the selected lighting condition, wherein the color sensor receives light radiated by the controlled light source and reflected from the target surface and further generates output signals representative of a color of the target surface; and generating, on a display unit, a first image comprising the color represented by the output signals from the color sensing device, at least a second image comprising the selected one or more colors alongside the first image, and data corresponding to a difference between the first image and the at least second image according to one or more color models.
