An oral cleaning system provides motivating feedback to a user before brushing and includes: a power toothbrush (10); one or more sensors (26) on or within the toothbrush; a processor (30) within the toothbrush configured to process sensor information obtained from the one or more sensors during a first brushing session of a user; and a feedback system (40) on or within the toothbrush responsive to the processor and configured to communicate brushing information to the user at a time subsequent to the first brushing session but before a second brushing session of the user.

Provided are a toothbrush module, a toothbrush attachment, a brushing assistance system, a brushing evaluation system, a brushing assistance device, and a brushing assistance program that ease obtainment of a brushing action of a user even during brushing.

A toothbrush attachment (2) includes: a sensor unit (21) that detects a predetermined physical quantity; a wireless transmission unit (22) that transmits a radio signal indicating the physical quantity detected by the sensor unit (21); a housing unit (201) that houses the sensor unit (21) and the wireless transmission unit (22); and a coupling mechanism (202) that removably attaches the housing unit (201) to a toothbrush (4). A wireless terminal device (3) includes a wireless receiver (31) that receives a radio signal and obtains the physical quantity, a music output unit (354) that outputs an image or sound so as to support brushing by a user with the toothbrush (4) based on the physical quantity, a figure display control unit (363), and a notification unit (373).

A makeup extension wand system includes a body, including a frame with left and right vertical frame segment, and a stationary axle; and extension wand assemblies, rotatably and detachably mounted to the stationary axle, each including an extension shaft, an applicator tip, and a connector portion that can be rear or front offset, such that each extension wand assembly is rotatable to a vertical folded-in orientation for storage of the extension wand assembly and to a folded-out orientation for use of the extension wand assembly.

A toothbrush comprising a drive mechanism and electronic circuitry configured to drive the drive mechanism to execute toothbrushing motions is disclosed. The electronic circuitry comprises a drive circuitry and a controller which is configured to form a drive signal to operate the drive circuitry to generate drive current. The drive signal comprises a plurality of signal packets, wherein a signal packet has a signal packet duration and comprises a train of switching signals. The switching signals are configured to repeatedly switch on and switch off drive current supply to the drive mechanism at a switching frequency f.sub.s. The signal packet duration is configured to define a rhythm of toothbrushing motions.

A personal care system having personal hygiene products and a display for assisting the user is described. The personal care system can include a personal care product (e.g., an electric toothbrush), an interactive display in data communication with the personal care product. The display provides information associated with a plurality of characteristics of a personal care regimen to the user. The display is in data communication with a network and operable to receive information from the network, and the display is operable to run one or more applications to display the information received from the network.

The present invention comprises systems and methods for using a specialized styling device, such as a smart hairbrush, smart comb, or accessories, which allow for the collection of data from the devices, and for users to interact over a wireless network. The devices may including a wireless radio frequency modem connected to the internet and a battery to power components, including lights, speakers, cameras, microphones, and sensors. A smart brush may allow for computations through processors, memory, system-on-a-chip, applications, batteries, operating systems, and wired or wireless communication interfaces. It is also possible for the smart brush to connect with other electronic devices, including phones, tablets, and cameras in order to share electrical power and communicate over one or more interfaces. A smart brush may operate as an independent mobile device or within a smart home or other system with multiple computing devices, appliances, and sensors connected together within a network.

Toothbrush training systems and methods are disclosed. A toothbrush training system can include a toothbrush, a reward generator, and means to communicate a musical reward to a user of the toothbrush. The toothbrush can be in communication with a sensor in varying ways. The reward generator can be configured to generate the musical reward based on a signal from the sensor. A method can include providing a user with a cue to clean his/her teeth using a toothbrush; sensing movement, orientation or acceleration of the toothbrush; generating a musical reward for the user based on sensed movement, orientation or acceleration of the toothbrush; and communicating the musical reward to the user.
