System and method for improving the shaving experience by providing improved visibility of the skin shaving area. A digital camera is integrated with the electric shaver for close image capturing of shaving area, and displaying it on a display unit. The display unit can be integral part of the electric shaver casing, or housed in a separated device which receives the image via a communication channel. The communication channel can be wireless (using radio, audio or light) or wired, such as dedicated cabling or using powerline communication. A light source is used to better illuminate the shaving area. Video compression and digital image processing techniques are used for providing for improved shaving results. The wired communication medium can simultaneously be used also for carrying power from the electric shaver assembly to the display unit, or from the display unit to the electric shaver.

A computer-implemented method (100) is described. The method includes obtaining (102) an indication comprising a skin parameter of a user. The obtained indication further includes an interaction between the user's skin and a hair removal unit. The method further includes determining (104) a position of the hair removal unit relative to the user's skin. The method further includes determining (106) a hair removal instruction for the user based on the indication and the position such that a user interface is caused (108) to provide the hair removal instruction for the user.

The present invention relates to a personal care device, in particular a hair removal device such as an electric shaver, comprising a working head for effecting a personal care treatment to a body surface, a handle for manually moving the working head along the body surface, and an adjustment device for adjusting a mechanical setting and/or a mechanical function of the working head and/or a part thereof, wherein a hazard determination device is provided for determining hazards for the personal care device, wherein the adjustment device is configured to adjust the working head and/or a part thereof into a safe harbor mechanical setting and/or a safe harbor mechanical function in response to a hazard signal from the hazard determination device.

A surgical hair clipper includes a clipper body and a blade assembly connected to the clipper body. The blade assembly includes a moveable blade configured to reciprocate to remove hair from a skin area and a blade housing that houses the moveable blade. The blade housing has a guide surface that faces the skin area during a hair removal process. A touch sensor is exposed at the guide surface for contact with the skin area during use. A processor receives a signal from the touch sensor when the touch sensor contacts the skin area. The processor uses logic saved in a memory to instruct a feedback device to provide an indication of skin contact between the touch sensor and the skin area.

An electric shaver, comprising an elongated handle for manually moving the personal care device along a body surface, a working head attached to said handle for effecting a personal care treatment to said body surface, at least one detector for detecting at least one behavioral parameter indicative of a user's behavior when handling the personal care device, and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting at least one working parameter of the working head in response to the detected behavioral parameter.

The present disclosure provides a razor accessory with a camera to assist the user of a shaving razor, which razor accessory is configured to be mechanically attached to the shaving razor. The razor accessory may be provided with sensors to track the shaving movements of a user. The present disclosure also provides an application for a wearable computer device to track the shaving movements of a user. The razor accessory and/or the wearable computer is communicatively connected to a vendor platform via an Internet-of-Things (IoT) gateway, which may provide feedback to assist and optimize the user's shaving experience.

A control device for a noncontact power supply device includes a power transmission coil for outputting an alternating magnetic flux upon receiving alternating electric power, and a power transmission control unit for controlling alternating electric power to be supplied to the power transmission coil. The power transmission control unit includes a first mode and a second mode. The first mode controls the alternating electric power to be supplied to the power transmission coil in order to transmit electric power, to be supplied to a load of a power reception device, to a power reception coil, and the second mode controls the alternating electric power for supplying electric power less than the electric power transmitted by the first mode to the power transmission coil. After being activated, the power transmission control unit selects initially the first mode.

The present application provides a shaving head assembly, a handle assembly, and an inductive shaver. The inductive shaver includes the shaving head assembly and the handle assembly. The shaver is configured with the first conductive path, the first end of the first conductive path is the holder or the cutters in the shaving head assembly, and the second end is connected to the circuit board assembly in the handle assembly. When shaving, the holder (or the cutters) is arranged approaching the human skin 1 such as the chin and cheeks; because the human skin has a certain electric charge, when the human skin directly contacts or approaches the holder (or the cutters), the holder (or the cutters) will absorb human skin capacitance formed between the approaching position and the ground, which is the first inductive capacitor.

The general field of the disclosure herein relates to the design of one or more health related monitoring or maintenance devices. These devices may include but are not limited to devices that monitor and/or maintain the health of users or devices that monitor and/or maintain the health of assets. The devices include oral cleaning devices for maintaining and monitoring the oral health of users, clothing for monitoring the health and fitness of users and charging pads which may monitor the health or assets being charged. Sensors may be integrated in these devices including but not limited to IMUs, thermocouples or oral cleaning devices, IMUs in clothing like shoes or wrist bands, or timers or charging sensors in magnetic surfaces which may cause one or more objects and/or other magnetic surfaces to float when a desired function is achieved.
