Description

1 TARIFF AI-POWERED BEARD STYLE PLANNING AND CUTTING SYSTEM Technical Field to Which the Invention Relates The invention uses integrated artificial intelligence and augmented reality technologies to create beard styles. It is related to a shaving system that can plan and cut the blade. 5 State of the Art Nowadays, beard shaving and styling mostly depends on the user's manual dexterity and It relies on traditional tools. Irregular or asymmetrical cuts, more hair than desired. Mistakes like cutting are especially dangerous for users who want to achieve complex beard styles. These are common problems. Professional barbers, thanks to their experience, can tailor their barbering to the shape of the face. They can determine the appropriate lines and make symmetrical cuts; however, individuals can't do similar things at home. Shaping a beard with precision is difficult. Therefore, users often prefer a fixed shape. long comb attachments, hand-guided template devices used in front of a mirror, or with electric shavers that have a limited number of preset cutting levels It has to be managed. However, these methods are 15 in preventing user errors. or falls short in personalized style applications. In recent years, there have been some improvements in beard shaving devices through the use of smart technologies. This is observed. For example, it is found on some high-end electric shavers. Thanks to sensors and AI-powered algorithms, the actions performed by the user... By analyzing pressure and movements, we can provide you with the real 20 tips for ideal shaving pressure and technique. Timely feedback can be provided. Additionally, the shaver can be used with a mobile application. Through matching, the user is provided with personalized shaving routines and techniques. It has also become possible to provide data and recommendations. On the other hand, virtual and augmented Reality technologies have also begun to be integrated into the personal care field. For example, Using augmented reality (AR) and facial mapping technologies, users can explore 25 different faces. They can virtually try out different beard styles on their own faces in real time, and a digital application that allows them to receive interactive guidance in this direction Concepts have been developed. In the barbering sector, smart mirror systems and AR technology are being used. by providing real-time visual guidance to hairdressers and barbers through hair or It helps achieve greater precision when trimming beards. 30 2 However, none of the current technical solutions can fully encompass these features in a single system. They are not offered as an integrated system. Existing smart shavers generally It is limited to providing feedback solely on user technical aspects, and the user It does not include an intervention mechanism that could effectively prevent the mistakes that might be made. Similarly, AR-based style trial applications rely solely on visual guidance. 5 It provides, however, direct interaction with the actual shaver or the device's automatic operation. Adjustment is not possible. Users are still experiencing issues with the shaver head. manually adjusting the length, matching the lines by eye while looking in the mirror relying heavily on one's own abilities to work and avoid making mistakes It is necessary. In this context, the shaver has 10 features that offer dynamic guidance according to facial features. automatically checks settings and prevents errors in real time There is a need to develop an integrated beard trimming system. Brief Description and Objectives of the Invention The main purpose of the invention is to enable users to independently perform tasks requiring barber expertise. The goal is to enable them to confidently create even the most complex beard styles. 15 Another purpose of the invention is to create a beard based on the user's facial map. Thanks to the title settings that are automatically optimized according to the template, for each region The ideal cutting length is automatically determined by the device according to the selected template. The aim is to ensure its identification. Another aim of the invention is to guide the user through real-time visual and audio directions to 20 providing step-by-step guidance throughout the shaving process, especially for complex beards The goal is to reduce usage errors in these forms. Another purpose of the invention is to prevent the device from getting too close to unwanted areas during shaving. with a fault prevention system that automatically stops the engine in case of high The goal is to ensure a safe shave with precision. 25 Another aim of the invention is to re-analyze the face after the shaving process is complete. This allows for the identification and correction of missing or disproportionate areas. The goal is to provide a control mechanism that recognizes and monitors this. 3 Another aim of the invention is to enable the system to understand user habits and style preferences. by learning and developing personalized shaving plans over time, and then The goal is to provide automated suggestions for usage scenarios.

This drawing shows a schematic representation of the system that is the subject of the invention. 5 Explanation of References in Figures 1: shaver 2: comb head 3: cutting blades 4: engine 10 5: Motorized Head 6: Inertial measurement sensors 7: mobile device 8: Mirror 9: Face scanning and beard style planning module 15 10: Error prevention module 11: Voice command module Detailed Description of the Invention The invention concerns an artificial intelligence-powered beard style planning and trimming system, which works together with each other. an integrated 20 consisting of hardware and software components that work in communication It is a system. The system consists of devices connected to each other via wireless communication (preferably Bluetooth). a smart shaver (1), a device on which an AI-powered mobile application runs (7) includes the basic units of an augmented reality mirror (8) and a comb head (2). The control modules (9, 10, 11) that manage the interaction of these units are part of the mobile application. It contains software components and data from the shaver and mirror 25 In light of this, it functions as a real-time decision-making tool. 4 The shaver (1) is a classic electric beard trimmer integrated with artificial intelligence. It is a version that has been brought. The shaver (1) is held by the user. a guided body, cutting blades (3) that perform beard trimming, various lengths adjustable comb head (2) which allows cutting in the settings and this head There is a small motorized head (5) that is used to adjust its position. Cutting 5 A motor (4) that drives the blades is integrated into the body of the device. Shaving The machine (1) can send data with the mobile application thanks to an internal wireless communication module. It makes purchases; this allows the comb head to be adjusted with commands from the application. (2) can be automatically adjusted to the desired length or the motors can be stopped It can be operated. The shaver (1) also has internal inertial measurement sensors (6) 10 (using an accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.) to determine its own movement, angle, and position to a certain extent. It detects changes. This sensor data is transmitted to the mobile application in real time. The protective cover on the tip of the shaver (1) that comes into contact with the user's skin and There is a lubricating surface; this surface is also accessible via the comb head (2). Determines the cutting length. The comb head (2) is adjusted by the motor head (5) to a millimeter of 15 By moving it back and forth precisely, it adjusts the distance of the blades from the skin. Thus, the user can do this automatically by the application without any manual intervention. The specified cutting length value is transmitted to the device, and the device automatically... It cuts to the desired length. The shaver (1) also has a vibration motor if desired. It can be found; this provides haptic feedback to the user, for example, excessive pressure 20 It can be used to warn when applied. The bottom of the device contains the charging and maintenance unit. It is designed to be compatible; after use, the user device should be returned to this unit. By inserting it, you can charge the battery and ensure safe storage. A mobile device (7) is a phone or tablet on which the mobile application is run. It is an electronic device. This mobile application utilizes artificial intelligence within the scope of the invention. 25 It includes algorithms, data processing, and user interface functions. The application is for shaving. It receives sensor data from the device by establishing bidirectional communication with the machine (1) and sends it to the device It sends commands. It also communicates with the mirror (8) and sends AR images. It synchronizes multiple modules integrated within the mobile application. He / She is working. 30 Face scanning and beard style planning module (9) works within the application, By processing the facial image captured from the user via the camera, it creates a detailed facial image. It creates a map of the user’s face, preferably using the mirror’s (8) integrated camera. The face is scanned from different angles, and the system creates a 3D face model and a 2D face map. This Information such as the boundaries, density, or length distribution of the existing beard on the map It can be analyzed using artificial intelligence techniques. The user can select their desired option from the application interface. He chooses the beard style he wants (e.g., goatee, stubble, circle beard, etc. various styles) (It is presented as a library in the application). Face scanning and beard style planning 5 module (9) provides the ideal shape and length distribution for the selected style to the user's face It applies the target style to the map. As a result, the user's own face is rendered in a certain way. The template is digitally determined. This template shows which areas should be completely covered with beard. such as where it will be taken from, what lengths will be left and where the line markings will pass. It includes details. Face scanning and beard style planning module (9) based on this data, a 10 He creates a shaving plan: For example, in the first step, he trims the entire beard to a specific length, The next step is to clean the upper cheek borders, then smooth the area under the neck, and finally... A sequential plan is drawn up, including completing the final fine details. During the planning process, the module It can also take into account past user data and preferences; thus, each The most suitable sequence and technique are determined for the user. Face scanning and beard style planning 15 module (9) uses methods such as deep learning to analyze the user's facial structure (e.g. symmetry, By also considering the jawline, they can calculate how the style will best fit this structure. Error prevention module (10) works within the application, preventing errors that may occur during shaving. It performs real-time monitoring and control to prevent errors. Error prevention. module (10) 20 sensors (specifically inertial measurement sensors (6)) of the shaver (1) It constantly analyzes the incoming data. At the same time, if the mirror’s (8) camera or mobile If the device’s (7) camera is used, visual processing can be done to show the shaver on the face. Its location can also be determined. Within the scope of the invention, the tip of the shaver (1) a special visual marker or LED that can be placed, the device in the camera image It can help to monitor more easily (as an application option). Error prevention 25 The module (10) uses the digital beard template created on the face as a reference, and the device It calculates the area where it is currently allowed and the prohibited areas. For example, While the user is trimming the beard line on their cheek, the device moves further up (hair or forehead). (towards the region) it should not move; the module detects the tilt and movement of the device from the IMU data. by tracking or viewing the device's location via camera, if the device is within the specified 30 If it goes over the line, it immediately stops the engine (4). Similarly, error prevention Module (10) also checks to ensure the user does not shorten the length of his beard too much. For example, if it was planned to leave a length of 5 mm in a certain area, but the user 6 If the device is brought close to that area without a header (in position 0), the module will recognize this as a risk of error. It detects this and then stops the device and warns the user. The warnings are given audibly through the application. The warning will be in the form of a visual signal on the mirror or a vibration if the device has a vibration motor. It is possible. The error prevention module (10) is the threshold required to make these preventive interventions. values ​​and boundary information, face map and beard template data, face scanning and 5 It takes the beard style planning module (9). Thus the system saves the user from a serious error. It proactively protects against harm before it occurs. Another benefit of this feature is... The goal is to boost the user's self-confidence and reduce their hesitations when trying a new style; Because the device will prevent incorrect moves. The voice command module (11) works within the application, facilitating communication between the user and the system. It is the interface that provides voice interaction. The voice command module (11) is used in critical situations. It delivers warnings or instructions to the user audibly. For example, "Please turn the device right." "Move it to the cheek area," "The head automatically adjusts to 3 mm," etc. Guidance can be provided via loudspeaker. Mirror (8) is part of the invention’s user interface and augmented reality 15 It is equipped with technology. Typically, it is the size of a bathroom mirror or a desktop mirror. It could be a mirror device. This unit tracks the user's face in real time. a camera capable of doing so and a transparent image screen integrated into the mirror surface Mirror (8) is located wirelessly with the application running on the mobile device (7). It works synchronously. As seen in Figure 3, when the user looks in the mirror, their own 20 on top of the actual reflection, the beard template created by the system. Guide lines and areas are shown as overlays. For example, the sidewall. Areas that need to be shaved in this region are highlighted with a light color, while the areas to be protected The boundary of the beard area is clearly defined by a distinct line. This allows the user to see the area in real time. By looking in the mirror, he can understand what to cut or leave where. 25 The image shown in the mirror (8) is used for face scanning and beard style planning in the mobile app. It is constantly updated with data generated by module (9); user head movement Even if you try to fix it, the guide lines remain in the correct position thanks to face tracking. The mirror, It can also provide information to the user with text or icons when necessary (e.g., "Turn left cheek"). (like an arrow or note). Throughout the shaving process, the mirror allows the user to see themselves naturally. 30 mixed reality allows them to both see and follow virtual guides. It offers a unique experience. This means that even a user trying a complex style for the first time can get the hang of it at the barber shop. They can follow the right steps as if they had guidance. 7 The charging and maintenance unit includes a charging / maintenance stand. The charging and maintenance unit is for shaving. to charge the battery of the machine (1) by connecting to the contact points or wireless charging feature It also serves as a base where the device can stand upright and securely. He sees it. When the user has finished shaving, he places the device on this stand; thus, the device serves both as a... It charges for the next use and is also neatly stored. 5 The user launches the system's mobile application and stands in front of the mirror (8). In the first step, The application scans the user's face and creates a digital copy. This process, The mirror's camera can capture and combine images from different angles, or as a single image. This can also be done with the front camera. Then, the user can choose their desired beard from within the application. The user chooses a style. For example, the user has selected a specific model, the "dirty beard" style. The application selects these 10 styles. It applies the ideal shape and lengths of the model onto its own face map and creates a template. It reveals how the style the user has chosen will look virtually on their own face thanks to the mirror. She'll see instantly how it looks. If she's not satisfied, she can try different styles. This No actual slaughtering has taken place at this stage; it is entirely virtual testing and planning. This is the case. After the user approves the style, the application will use the shaver (1) with 15 They start the preparation process by getting in touch. According to the proposed plan, the first step is usually... The goal is to bring all areas of the beard to a uniform length. This can be achieved by shaving. the command to set the comb head of the machine (2) to an example of 5 mm It sends. The motorized head (5) on the device brings the comb head to the specified position. Then The application gives the user the instruction, "Now trim the overall length of your beard to 5 mm." It gives. The user roughly shaves the entire beard area by operating the device. This process, It eliminates disproportionate lengths in different areas of the beard and allows for subsequent shaping. It forms a basis for the steps. During this time, the user sees all of the reflections in the mirror (8). He sees that his beard remains in a single shape. The application uses sensors to track the user's progress. It can also be monitored with data; for example, from IMU data, it can be determined whether the device is applied to specific areas and 25 one can approximately understand that it is not being implemented or provide the user with information for each region. It may ask you to press the "confirm" button when it's finished. This step Once completed, the application is ready to proceed to the next step. The system then moves on to more detailed shaping. For example, depending on the chosen style. The beard on the upper part of the cheeks will be completely removed, and a specific line will be drawn on the sides. 30 There may be sub-steps such as leaving something undone, shaping the area under the mustache, etc. The application involves each sub-step. It provides the appropriate instructions for the step and automatically configures the device settings. Let's say, for example, the upper cheek... It is necessary to shave the boundary: Apply the device's comb head (2) to the lowest level 8 (0 mm, meaning a close shave) settings and tells the user "Above the cheek line The mirror (8) gives the command "clean the beard". At this time, the mirror shows the user a guide line. It shows; the area below this line is where the beard should remain, the area above it. The user will clean with the shaver (1). The user will follow the guide in the mirror. He carefully shaves the upper cheeks. While performing this operation, the error prevention module (10) 5 It is constantly on alert: If the user accidentally tries to go below the line, the device immediately... will stop it. Similarly, when correcting the lower neck border, the procedure will also affect that area. It guides the user to cut, and adjusts the device's head as needed. (for example, a 0 mm close shave for the neck) and shows the target boundary on the mirror. While the shaving process is underway, the error prevention module (10) is actively working in the background. 10 Especially a new user may not be fully proficient with the device or might accidentally make a quick mistake. With this movement, the user can trim an unwanted area. For example, the beard on the user's chin. If, while making a correction, he lifts the device too high due to a momentary lapse of concentration, the error prevention module (10) It detects this movement from the IMU data or camera and stops the motor (4) immediately. The application screen or mirror displays a message to the user such as "Caution: Incorrect zone access gained". A warning may be displayed. The shaving process will resume when the user returns the device to the correct position. It can be continued from where it left off. In addition, the speed of the device on the skin can also be adjusted by the module. can be monitored; in situations where it moves very quickly and could be dangerous (cutting The device's speed can be automatically reduced (such as the risk of the blade getting caught in the skin). All these precautions... It ensures user safety and the uninterrupted application of the target style. 20 When the user has completed all the planned steps, the system brings the process near completion, however... It includes a final verification step. Mirror (8) and the application scan the user’s finished version and It compares the digital beard map to the current (post-shave) condition. This allows the target It makes a comparison between the style and the result achieved. If in any area hairs that are not the intended length (for example, 25 that escaped the user's notice and were not cut) (a pinch) if detected or a slight disproportion on both sides that should be symmetrical If present, the system detects it. The application informs the user, for example, "Some long hairs on the left cheek." "It's left, please check again" or "The right side of the mustache is slightly thicker than the left side." It offers suggestions such as "it can be corrected if you wish." At this point, the user can choose to do so. It makes the corrections. The system can also provide guidance for the necessary correction. 30 (by adjusting the device head to the appropriate length if necessary). Through this step, the user He will have truly achieved the result he wanted. 9 Once all shaving and trimming operations are complete, the system requests user confirmation and closes the session. terminates the session. The application retrieves data related to that session (selected style, settings used, duration, It stores user preferences, etc. This data can be used to provide suggestions for future use or It can be used to evaluate user progress. For example, the application can evaluate the user's progress. By learning how your mastery of a particular style has increased or which steps you are struggling with, 5 They may offer a more optimized plan in the future. Finally, the user cleans the shaver. Place it in the charging and maintenance unit, and the device sits waiting until the next use. It switches to mode. 15 25
