A smart toothbrush-based tooth-brushing evaluation method, apparatus, terminal device and storage medium are provided. The evaluation method comprises: real-time acquiring toothbrushing data detected by a data detecting device in a smart toothbrush; analyzing the toothbrushing data and performing statistics for each brushed tooth surfaces to obtain a brushing time and a number of times of a high-amplitude brushing-with a brushing amplitude greater than a first threshold, a number of times of a strong brushing with a brushing force greater than a second threshold and of a number of times of a horizontal brushing; determining a number of overtime-brushed tooth surfaces brushed for more than a standard brushing time, a number of times of tooth surfaces brushed at a high amplitude, a number of times of strongly-brushed tooth surfaces and a number of times of horizontally-brushed tooth surfaces according to the brushing time.

The present invention describes a method for a U-shaped teeth brush device having a conformable shape adjusting U-shaped teethbrush module and one or more individual tooth brushes coupled to the power drive mechanism, each brush having a sensor, piezoelectric crystal and transducer and each tooth brush having a block anchor coupled to the power drive, under smart controls, an electronic control system for sensing individual tooth pressure and controlling motor transmission of vibration to prior positioned brushes, whereby a users unique mouth features can be accounted for by adjusting U-shape distal ends to fit through the users mouth and align with users teeth arch for programmatically brushing more than one tooth simultaneously.

A method for promoting compliance with an oral hygiene regimen includes displaying, on a display device, a representation of at least a portion of a set of teeth of a user. The method also includes overlaying an indicium on the representation such that the indicium is associated with a first section of the representation. Responsive to a determination, via at least one of one or more processors, that a head of an oral hygiene device is positioned directly adjacent to a first section of the set of teeth that corresponds to the first section of the representation for at least a predetermined amount of time, the indicium is removed from the display device.

In one embodiment, an oral care system may include a toothbrush comprising a physical property, and a programmable processor configured to receive physical property data indicative of the physical property of the toothbrush. The programmable processor may be further configured to determine, based at least in part upon the received physical property data, a suggested brushing routine for a user and/or an evaluation of a brushing session of a user.

A personal care system having a treatment device for applying a treatment to the skin or hair of a user is provided. The treatment device has a camera for taking an image of the skin. The system may include or be in communication with an application programming interface (API) that can process the image. The system or an associated API can recommend the use of treatment regimens or topical products according to information determined from the digital image of the skin.

Systems and methods for enhancing a user's efficiency while operating an oral hygiene device (10) is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, motion information of an oral hygiene device is received from one or more accelerometers (32) located within the oral hygiene device. The received motion information is compared to a targeted motion of the oral hygiene device. The user operating the oral hygiene device is then provided with feedback in response to determining that the received motion information is within a predefined range of the targeted motion information.

An oral care system including a toothbrush having a sensor that generates brushing data during a brushing session and a programmable processor. The programmable processor may be configured to receive the brushing data from the sensor, receive oral characteristic data indicative of an oral characteristic of the user, and determine at least one of a suggested brushing routine and a brushing evaluation for a brushing session based at least in part on the oral characteristic data and the brushing data. The oral characteristic may be present in or adjacent to a first portion of the dentiture. The brushing evaluation or brushing routine may be based on or includes at least one of: an altered target brushing time for the first portion of the dentiture; and a modified brushing motion expectation for the first portion of the dentiture.

A magnetic personal guide for guiding a user through a personal care routine is adapted for releasably holding a personal care implement. The personal care implement includes a section at least partially made from a magnetic and/or ferromagnetic material. The magnetic personal guide includes: a guidance tool, the guidance tool being activated by detaching the personal care implement from the magnetic personal care guide; and an electro-chrome display providing a signal guiding the user through the personal care routine when the guidance tool is activated. A personal care guidance system for guiding a user through a personal care routine that includes such magnetic personal care guide and a personal care implement comprising a section at least partially made from a magnetic and/or ferromagnetic material.

A system for tracking and storing data associated with a personal care routine, the system including: a personal care implement having a section at least partially made from a magnetic and/or ferromagnetic material, and a magnetic guide to which the personal care implement is magnetically attachable and detachable, wherein the magnetic guide includes a guidance tool, the guidance tool being activated to track and store data by detaching the personal care implement from the magnetic guide.
