INTELLIGENT TOOTH BRUCH CONTROL UNIT Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61C19/04 A61C17/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medicine, particularly hygiene and aims at tooth brushing. A tooth brush control unit comprises a sensor for in-use data generation, a reference memory unit, a comparator for matching the generated values to the reference stored by the memory unit, an indicator used to response to the comparator to inform the user if the generated values correspond to the reference. The sensor comprises an accelerometer only that generates the in-use tooth brush inclination angles. The control unit comprises a switch for setting the control unit to a teaching mode wherein the values generated by the accelerometer are stored in the memory as the reference to be used next time for tooth brushing. The comparator is designed for identifying the tooth brush positions contained in the reference, but missing in the generated values to use the above identified tooth brush positions for the purpose of identifying the teeth (L-U) that needs to be brushed in the above tooth brush positions, and notifying the user about the identified teeth by the above indicator.

EFFECT: providing consideration of the user's individual characteristics for high-quality tooth brushing.
