==POWER TOOTHBRUSH CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050211 titled 'POWER TOOTHBRUSH CONTROL

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for a power toothbrush that includes a motor for driving a brush head and a controller that responds to an operating mode selection signal to control the motor. The controller also includes a timer to track the total duration of a tooth brushing session and can calculate an average total duration based on stored prior session times. It can then set a target value based on the calculated average and generate a sensory output during a brushing session to encourage the user to continue brushing.

* The power toothbrush includes a motor for driving the brush head and a controller to control the motor.
* The controller has a timer to track the total duration of a tooth brushing session.
* In a feedback mode, the controller can calculate an average total duration based on stored prior session times.
* The controller sets a target value based on the calculated average and generates a sensory output during a brushing session when the duration reaches the target value to encourage the user to continue brushing.

Potential applications of this technology:
* Oral hygiene products and devices
* Dental care industry
* Personal care products

Problems solved by this technology:
* Encourages users to brush their teeth for an optimal duration
* Helps improve oral hygiene habits
* Provides feedback and motivation during tooth brushing sessions

Benefits of this technology:
* Promotes better oral health
* Helps prevent dental issues
* Encourages consistent and effective tooth brushing habits


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a power toothbrush () is disclosed comprising a motor () for driving a brush head () of the power toothbrush and a controller () responsive to an operating mode selection signal and arranged to control said motor. the controller comprises a timer () for timing a total duration of a tooth brushing session with said power toothbrush and is adapted to, in a feedback mode of operation, calculate an average total duration of a tooth brushing session based on stored prior tooth brushing session times; define a target value based on the calculated average total duration and cause the generation of a sensory output during a tooth brushing session upon its duration reaching the target value to encourage the user to carry on brushing. also disclosed is a method of evaluating tooth brushing session data generated by such a power toothbrush, a computer program product for implementing such a method, an electronic device adapted to implement such a method and an oral hygiene kit.
