Cutting tools US 12,434,400 B2 Not in force

Grooming appliance or household cleaning appliance

This invention describes an electric toothbrush equipped with both motion sensors and a tiny camera. It uses advanced artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning, to analyze what the toothbrush is doing (its position and movement) and what the camera sees inside the mouth. Based on this combined understanding, it provides real-time feedback to the user on their brushing technique.

Why it matters: Edge AI and miniature camera technology have advanced, simplifying on-device deep learning for compact devices. This makes integrating sophisticated real-time analysis into a toothbrush more feasible and efficient than when it was filed in 2019.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMiniature camera, motion sensors, deep learning software.
