ELECTRIC SHAVER WITH IMAGING CAPABILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240048824 titled 'ELECTRIC SHAVER WITH IMAGING CAPABILITY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system and method for improving the shaving experience by providing improved visibility of the skin shaving area. This is achieved by integrating a digital camera with the electric shaver to capture close-up images of the shaving area, which are then displayed on a display unit. The display unit can be part of the electric shaver casing or a separate device that receives the image through a communication channel.

• The digital camera integrated with the electric shaver allows for close image capturing of the shaving area.
• The captured images are displayed on a display unit, providing improved visibility of the shaving area.
• The display unit can be integrated into the electric shaver casing or housed in a separate device.
• The communication channel can be wireless or wired, allowing for the transmission of the captured images.
• A light source is used to better illuminate the shaving area for improved visibility.
• Video compression and digital image processing techniques are employed to enhance the shaving results.
• The wired communication medium can also be used to carry power between the electric shaver assembly and the display unit.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Personal grooming devices, such as electric shavers, can incorporate this system to provide users with better visibility during shaving.
• This technology can be applied to other personal care devices, such as hair trimmers or epilators, to improve visibility and precision during use.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Traditional shaving methods may lack visibility, making it difficult to see the shaving area clearly.
• This system solves the problem of poor visibility by providing close-up images of the shaving area, allowing for more precise and accurate shaving.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved visibility of the shaving area leads to a more precise and accurate shaving experience.
• Users can achieve a closer shave and reduce the risk of nicks or cuts.
• The integration of a digital camera and display unit enhances the overall shaving experience by providing real-time visual feedback.

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.
