METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING LOCATION OF DEVICE FOR ORAL CAVITY CLEANING Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A46B15/00 A61C17/16 

FIELD: oral care.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to systems and methods for providing the possibility of accurate determination of the location and tracking of a device for oral cavity cleaning during a guided cleaning session. Device (10) for oral cavity cleaning configured to assess the location of the device in the user’s mouth during the guided cleaning session containing a set of time intervals contains: manual generation module (46) configured to provide the guided cleaning session to the user, while the guided cleaning session contains the set of time intervals separated by a prompt to move from the first location in the mouth to the second location in the mouth; sensor (28) configured to generate sensor data during one of the set of time intervals, while sensor data indicates the position or movement of the cleaning device; feedback component (48) configured to generate prompts. The device contains controller (30) configured to: (i) assess, based on generated sensor data, the location of the oral care device during one of the set of time intervals; (ii) generate a model to predict the nature of the user’s cleaning, wherein the model for predicting the nature of the user’s cleaning is a statistical model or a set of limits for a cleaning path or an order, in which mouth areas are brushed, (iii) determine the location of the oral care device during one of the set of time intervals, based on the assessed location of the oral care device and the model for predicting the nature of the user’s cleaning.

EFFECT: proper cleaning of the oral cavity is ensured.
