[0040] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in the present application, many technical details are proposed in order to enable the reader to better understand the present application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical scheme claimed in the present application can also be implemented. The division of the following embodiments is for the convenience of description, and the specific implementation of the present application should not be construed as any limitation, and the various embodiments can be combined and referenced with each other under the premise of no contradiction.
[0041] In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, relevant contents about the water flosser flushing control method are first introduced here.
[0042] As people pay more and more attention to oral health, water flossers, as a new type of oral cleaning tool, have received widespread attention and popularity in the market.
[0043] In some technologies, multiple modes are preset in the water flosser. When using the water flosser, the user selects the mode of the water flosser according to the function they need to adjust the flushing intensity of the water flosser. However, the existing water flosser can only adjust the flushing intensity of the water flosser as a whole. The flushing force received by each tooth is the same. It cannot adjust the strength for damaged or sensitive teeth, and cannot be adjusted according to the actual tooth condition of the user. It has poor flexibility and is not convenient for users to use the water flosser.
[0044] In order to solve the technical problem that the existing water flosser cannot be adjusted according to the actual dental condition of the user, has poor flexibility and is inconvenient for the user to use the water flosser, the present invention proposes a water flosser flushing control method. The implementation details of the water flosser flushing control method of this embodiment are specifically described below. The following content is only the implementation details provided for the convenience of understanding and is not necessary for the implementation of this solution.
[0045] Embodiment 1:
[0046] The water flosser control method of this embodiment can be applied to electronic devices with communication, computing and data storage capabilities. The specific process can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown, including:
[0047] Step 101, identifying the tooth type of the current tooth to be irrigated by the water flosser, where the tooth type is classified according to the health information of the tooth.
[0048] Specifically, the tooth type is divided according to the health information of the teeth, such as normal teeth, decayed teeth, wisdom teeth, caries, easily stuck teeth, sensitive teeth, etc. In some embodiments, at least one tooth corresponds to a tooth type, such as decayed teeth, wisdom teeth, caries, sensitive teeth, etc., which usually correspond to one tooth, that is, one tooth corresponds to one tooth type, and a tooth type such as easily stuck teeth is usually composed of multiple teeth or teeth in one area, so at least one tooth corresponds to the tooth type easily stuck teeth. In this embodiment, after the water flosser is placed in the oral cavity, the tooth type of the current tooth to be flushed by the water flosser is identified.
[0049] Step 102, according to the identified tooth type of the current tooth, control the working mode of the water flosser to switch to a first operating mode that matches the tooth type of the current tooth, and control the water flosser to perform a flushing operation on the current tooth in the first operating mode.
[0050] Specifically, different tooth types have a first operating mode that matches the tooth type, and the first operating mode that matches the tooth type of the current tooth can be understood as the operating mode that is most suitable for the tooth type of the current tooth when the current tooth is rinsed. In this embodiment, before the water flosser performs a rinse operation on the current tooth, according to the identified current tooth type, the water flosser is controlled to switch the working mode to the first operating mode that matches the tooth type of the current tooth, and the water flosser is controlled to perform a rinse operation on the current tooth in the first operating mode. In some examples, since the number of normal teeth in the oral cavity is usually greater than the number of teeth of other tooth types (such as cavities, wisdom teeth, caries, easily blocked teeth, sensitive teeth, etc.), when using the water flosser, the normal mode for normal teeth can be set as the initial working mode, and when the water flosser is started and the tooth type of the tooth has not been identified, the water flosser works in the initial working mode.
[0051] In this embodiment, the tooth type of the current tooth to be rinsed by the water flosser is identified, and according to the identified tooth type of the current tooth, the working mode of the water flosser is controlled to switch to the first operating mode matching the tooth type of the current tooth, and the water flosser is controlled to perform a rinsing operation on the current tooth in the first operating mode. In this way, by identifying the tooth type of the tooth and switching the first operating mode corresponding to the tooth type to control the water flosser to perform a rinsing operation on the tooth, the water flosser can be adjusted according to the actual tooth condition of the user, which effectively enhances the flexibility of the water flosser, thereby facilitating the user's use of the water flosser and ensuring the user's experience when using the water flosser.
[0052] In some embodiments, the method for controlling the rinsing of the water flosser further includes:
[0053] Pre-acquire the tooth position distribution of the teeth to be rinsed and the health information of each tooth;
[0054] Marking the tooth types of teeth at different positions based on the health information of each tooth, and obtaining the tooth type distribution of the teeth to be rinsed;
[0055] Identify the tooth type of the current tooth to be irrigated by the water flosser, including:
[0056] The tooth position of the current tooth to be rinsed among all the teeth to be rinsed is identified, and the tooth type of the current tooth to be rinsed is determined according to the tooth type distribution of the teeth to be rinsed.
[0057] Specifically, the teeth to be rinsed usually refer to all teeth in the oral cavity, unless there are teeth in the oral cavity that cannot be rinsed temporarily. The tooth position distribution of the teeth to be rinsed is used to determine the distribution position of specific teeth, such as the distribution position of incisors, canines, molars, etc. After obtaining the tooth position distribution of the teeth to be rinsed and the health information of each tooth, the tooth type of each tooth at different positions (such as incisors, canines, molars, etc.) can be marked according to the health information of each tooth, thereby obtaining the tooth type distribution of the teeth to be rinsed. In some examples, the tooth type of the teeth at the incisor position is easy to be stuck, and the tooth type of the teeth at the canine position is caries. After marking the tooth type of each tooth at different positions, the tooth type distribution of all teeth to be rinsed can be obtained.
[0058] In some examples, the health information of the teeth can be obtained by the following steps: obtaining image information of the teeth, analyzing the image information, and obtaining the dental health information of the teeth; or, responding to user instructions, determining the dental health information of the teeth according to the user instructions.
[0059] In this embodiment, after obtaining the tooth type distribution of the teeth to be rinsed, the user places the water flosser on a tooth to be rinsed in the oral cavity. The water flosser has an identification element, and the current tooth to be rinsed is identified by the identification element to identify the tooth position of the current tooth to be rinsed among all the teeth to be rinsed. After determining the tooth position of the current tooth to be rinsed, the tooth type of the current tooth to be rinsed can be determined according to the tooth type distribution. According to the identified tooth type of the current tooth, the working mode of the water flosser is controlled to switch to the first operating mode that matches the tooth type of the current tooth, and the water flosser is controlled to perform a rinse operation on the current tooth in the first operating mode. In this way, the water flosser is adjusted according to the actual tooth condition of the user, which effectively enhances the flexibility of the water flosser and ensures the user's experience when using the water flosser.
[0060] In some embodiments, identifying the tooth position of the current tooth to be rinsed among all teeth to be rinsed, and determining the tooth type of the current tooth to be rinsed according to the tooth type distribution of the teeth to be rinsed, comprises:
[0061] The water flosser is placed at a preset water flossing starting point, wherein the current tooth to be flushed corresponding to the water flossing starting point is the first current tooth to be flushed and is the tooth at the first position preset in the tooth position distribution;
[0062] A tooth type of the tooth at the first position is determined according to the tooth type distribution.
[0063] Specifically, a flushing starting point is preset in the water flosser, and an instruction of the position distribution of the first tooth to be flushed is input into the water flosser. After obtaining the tooth position distribution in advance, the first position of the tooth to be flushed corresponding to the water flossing starting point can be determined according to the tooth position distribution, and then the tooth type of the tooth at the first position is determined according to the tooth type distribution. In some examples, the water flossing starting point is preset as the incisor position. After the water flosser is placed at the water flossing starting point, the first position of the incisor can be determined according to the tooth position distribution, and then the tooth type of the incisor is determined according to the tooth type distribution. Of course, the water flossing starting point can also be set to the middle position of the incisor. By setting the water flossing starting point, the tooth position distribution of each tooth can be accurately determined, so as to determine the tooth type of each tooth, which effectively improves the accuracy of switching the first operating mode according to the tooth type.
[0064] In some embodiments, identifying the tooth position of the current tooth to be rinsed among all teeth to be rinsed, and determining the tooth type of the current tooth to be rinsed according to the tooth type distribution of the teeth to be rinsed, further includes:
[0065] The water flosser is used to traverse each tooth one by one from a preset water flossing starting point, so as to determine the tooth type of the tooth at each second position from the tooth type distribution according to the second position corresponding to each traversed tooth.
[0066] Specifically, the second position refers to the position of the tooth that is not the first to be rinsed. After determining the tooth type of the current tooth to be rinsed corresponding to the starting point of the rinsing, the starting point of the rinsing is used as the reference point, and each tooth is traversed one by one by moving the rinsing position of the irrigator. According to the relative distance between each tooth and the starting point of the rinsing and the tooth position distribution, the second position corresponding to the traversed tooth is obtained, and then according to the tooth type distribution, the tooth type of the tooth at each second position is determined. In this way, the tooth type of each tooth can be accurately determined, and adjustments can be made according to the actual tooth condition of the user to ensure the user's experience when using the irrigator.
[0067] In some embodiments, after identifying the tooth type of the current tooth to be irrigated by the water flosser, the method further includes:
[0068] Determining, according to the tooth type of the current tooth to be rinsed, a water outlet temperature that matches the current tooth to be rinsed;
[0069] The water flosser is controlled to perform a flushing operation on the current tooth according to the water outlet temperature matching the current tooth to be flushed.
[0070] Specifically, a temperature control element is provided in the water flosser. When the water flosser is controlled to operate, the tooth types of the teeth are different, and the water temperatures of the corresponding water flossers are also relatively different. After identifying the tooth type of the current teeth to be rinsed by the water flosser, the water outlet temperature matching the current teeth is determined according to the tooth type of the current teeth. The water outlet temperature at this time is the most suitable tooth temperature for the current teeth, that is, the water outlet temperature that will not cause the user to feel uncomfortable. During operation, the temperature control element in the water flosser is controlled to heat the current water temperature to the water outlet temperature matching the current teeth. In some examples, if the tooth type of the current teeth to be rinsed by the water flosser is a normal tooth, the water flosser is controlled to perform a rinse operation according to a preset temperature suitable for the current external temperature. If the tooth type of the current teeth to be rinsed by the water flosser is a carious tooth or a sensitive tooth, the water flosser is controlled to perform a rinse operation according to the current temperature of the oral cavity. By adjusting the water outlet temperature of the water flosser according to the tooth type of the teeth, the user's comfort is ensured and no irritation is caused to the teeth.
[0071] In some embodiments, after controlling the water flosser to perform a flushing operation on the current tooth according to the water outlet temperature corresponding to the tooth type of the current tooth to be flushed, the method further includes:
[0072] Monitor the flushing status information of the user, and detect whether abnormal status information corresponding to a preset flushing abnormal status appears in the flushing status information;
[0073] When abnormal state information corresponding to a preset abnormal flushing state is detected in the flushing state information, a water temperature adjustment task is executed to control the water flosser to adjust the water outlet temperature to match the current teeth to be flushed.
[0074] Specifically, the abnormal flushing state refers to a state in which the user does not conform to the normal state during the process of flushing teeth, that is, in the abnormal flushing state, the user feels uncomfortable, and the abnormal state information refers to the state information that the user is uncomfortable in the abnormal flushing state. In this embodiment, when the user uses the water flosser to flush the current teeth, the user's flushing state information is monitored, and it is detected whether the abnormal state information corresponding to the preset abnormal flushing state appears in the flushing state information. When the abnormal state information corresponding to the preset abnormal flushing state appears in the flushing state information, it means that the user's flushing state is not suitable for continuing to flush the current teeth with the current water outlet temperature. Therefore, the water flosser is controlled to perform the water temperature adjustment task to control the water flosser to adjust the water outlet temperature that matches the current teeth to be flushed. By monitoring the user's flushing state during the flushing process, when the abnormal state information corresponding to the preset abnormal flushing state appears in the flushing state information, the water outlet temperature is controlled to be adjusted to ensure the user's experience effect.
[0075] In this embodiment, the abnormal state information includes at least one of the trembling or twitching movement of the dental pulp in the user's mouth, the appearance of a preset uncomfortable expression on the user's face, the user's heart rate change information, and the user's voice information. In some examples, the water irrigator is built with a motion sensor. When the water outlet temperature of the water irrigator is not suitable for the current teeth, such as when the water outlet temperature of the water irrigator is too low, the low temperature stimulation may cause the dental pulp to react, resulting in tooth pain. For example, when the water outlet temperature of the water irrigator is too high, the high temperature stimulation may cause the dental pulp to be congested, resulting in a sore and uncomfortable feeling. The user will produce trembling or twitching movements involuntarily to low or high temperatures. When the built-in motion sensor of the water irrigator captures this motion signal, the water temperature adjustment task is performed-the water outlet temperature of the water irrigator is adjusted to the same as the oral temperature or a water temperature of about 37 degrees, reducing the stimulation to the teeth to ensure comfort. In some examples, the handle of the water irrigator is embedded with multiple small resonant LC sensors, which are distributed around the gripping area of the handle of the water irrigator. During the use of the water irrigator, when the user's face approaches, the sensor can sense subtle changes in expression. A micro camera combined with a deep learning algorithm is used for more accurate expression recognition. During the process of flushing teeth, when a preset uncomfortable expression is recognized on the user's face, it is determined that the current water outlet temperature or water flow causes discomfort to the user. At this time, the current water temperature and water flow pressure are immediately analyzed, and the water temperature adjustment task is performed - the water outlet temperature of the water flosser is adjusted to the safest 37 degrees, the water pressure is reduced to continue flushing, and the user's expression is monitored in real time after the adjustment. When the user's expression is normal, the previous water pressure is restored to maintain the current water outlet temperature. In some examples, the handheld part of the water flosser is equipped with a heart rate sensor. Since the human body's heart rate will change after a sudden stimulation, the heart rate of the user during the use of the water flosser is detected through the heart rate sensor. When a large change in heart rate is detected, it is determined that the current teeth are stimulated. At this time, the water temperature adjustment task is performed - the water flosser is immediately suspended, and the water outlet temperature of the water flosser is adjusted to the most suitable and safe 37 degrees when it is enabled to reduce the stimulation to the teeth. In some examples, a high-sensitivity microphone array is installed inside the water flosser to capture various sound signals generated during the flushing process. These sound signals may reflect the state of the tooth surface (such as whether there is food residue) or the user's reaction (such as sound caused by discomfort). By analyzing these sound characteristics, the system can determine whether the flushing parameters need to be adjusted. When a lot of food residue is detected, the water temperature can be adjusted to around 35-37 degrees to reduce oral irritation and remind the user to strengthen the cleaning of this area. When the user's discomfort sound is detected, the water temperature adjustment task is performed - the water outlet temperature of the water flosser is adjusted to around 35-37 degrees.
[0076] Embodiment 2:
[0077] This embodiment provides exemplary content of the first embodiment, that is, provides an exemplary process of a method for controlling the flushing of a water flosser, and the specific content includes:
[0078] S1. Mark the healthy distribution of teeth. The carrier of this operation is the mobile phone APP of the water flosser.
[0079] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, 1) Marking method 1: Open your mouth and click on the APP to take a photo for identification, and take videos or pictures from multiple angles. Through AI recognition (comprehensive analysis based on the distribution density, color, texture, dental plaque, tartar and other conditions of the teeth), a tooth distribution map and the health status of the teeth are generated and a mark is generated (each mark represents a stamping mode suitable for the tooth (ie, the first operating mode)). If the generation is inaccurate, the user can click on the specific tooth to select the current tooth situation. If you click c6, a tooth condition selection will appear. After selecting wisdom tooth, the tooth will be annotated as wisdom tooth and distinguished by changing the appearance of the tooth. The same is true for marking other teeth.
[0080] 2) Marking method 2: Enter the number of your teeth in the mobile APP of the water flosser to automatically generate a tooth distribution model. Users can mark their own teeth according to their own tooth recognition. For example, click b5 (each tooth is a hot zone and can be clicked. Users can select one tooth to mark individually or mark multiple teeth at the same time in multi-select mode), and select the easy-to-flush mode. In this mode, it is easier to flush away foreign objects.
[0081] Switch the tooth flushing mode according to actual needs. The tooth flushing mode provides machine presets and can be switched by clicking the physical button. After turning on the machine, keep the punch at the marked position where tooth congestion is likely to occur and press and hold the physical button to switch to the easy tooth congestion mode. This mode maintains the flushing force of the easy tooth congestion mode. Similarly, keep the punch at the marked position where tooth congestion is likely to occur and press and hold the physical button to switch to the sensitive mode. This mode maintains the flushing force of the sensitive tooth mode.
[0082] S2. The process of using the water flosser
[0083] 1) After setting the dental health data in the APP, the data will be synchronized to the water flosser. Specific usage: Determine the positioning and place the water flosser head in the middle of the front teeth. Click the start button to determine the current starting point. The purpose of this operation is to locate each tooth and accurately determine the distribution of teeth.
[0084] 2) Click the switch again to officially start the watering. After turning on the watering device, place it close to your teeth. After detecting the preset tooth type, it will automatically switch to the appropriate mode. After moving the position, it will continue to detect and judge and then switch to the set mode.
[0085] In addition, the water flosser determines the most suitable water temperature for flossing based on the user's dental health condition, and automatically heats to the appropriate temperature during operation to ensure the user's oral comfort without irritating the teeth.
[0086] First, adjust the temperature through the feeling of water temperature by teeth
[0087] When the water temperature of the water irrigator is too low, the low temperature stimulation may also cause the pulp to react and cause tooth pain. When the water temperature of the water irrigator is too high, the high temperature stimulation may cause the pulp to become congested and produce a sore and uncomfortable feeling. At this time, the user will tremble or twitch in response to low or high temperatures. When the built-in motion sensor of the water irrigator captures this signal, it will immediately adjust the water temperature of the water outlet of the water irrigator to the same as the oral temperature or around 37 degrees, reducing the stimulation to the teeth and ensuring comfort.
[0088] Second, adjust the temperature through facial expression recognition and analysis
[0089] Multiple small resonant LC sensors are embedded in the handle of the water flosser. They are distributed around the user's grip area. When the user's face approaches, the sensor can sense subtle changes in expression. A micro camera combined with a deep learning algorithm is used for more accurate expression recognition. During the water flossing process, when unpleasant expressions such as facial distortion and frowning are recognized, it assists in determining whether the current water temperature or water flow causes discomfort to the user. At this time, the current water temperature and water flow pressure are immediately analyzed, the water temperature is adjusted to the safest 37 degrees, and the water pressure is reduced to continue flushing. After adjustment, the user's expression is monitored in real time. When the user's expression is normal, the previous water pressure is restored to maintain the current temperature.
[0090] Third, regulate temperature through the effect of tooth stimulation on heart rate
[0091] The heart rate of the human body will change after being suddenly stimulated. A heart rate sensor can be installed on the handheld part of the water flosser to detect the heart rate of the user when using the water flosser. When a large change in heart rate is detected, it can be used to assist in judging that the current teeth are stimulated. At this time, the water flosser can be immediately suspended. When it is used again, the water outlet temperature of the water flosser will be adjusted to the most suitable and safe 37 degrees to reduce stimulation.
[0092] Fourth, adjust the temperature by detecting different parts of the mouth
[0093] In addition to rinsing teeth, you can also rinse the tongue during the process of rinsing teeth, which can effectively remove bacteria on the tongue and cheek mucosa. Compared with the sensitivity of teeth, the tongue and cheek mucosa are relatively more acceptable. When the water outlet of the irrigator is detected to contact the tongue or cheap, the temperature can be increased slightly to enhance the cleaning effect. When the teeth are detected again during the process, the water temperature of the previous tooth rinse will be automatically restored.
[0094] Fifth, adjust the temperature through real-time dental health detection
[0095] The water flosser uses image detection technology to detect the health of teeth in real time in the oral cavity. It detects the health of teeth in real time during the operation of the water flosser. When healthy teeth are detected, the water temperature that is acceptable is used. When caries or sensitive teeth are detected, the water outlet temperature is adjusted to the current oral temperature. In this way, the appropriate water temperature can be provided according to the condition of each tooth.
[0096] Sixth, during the tooth flushing process, the ultrasonic sensor monitors the sound changes and determines the surface condition of the teeth.
[0097] A highly sensitive microphone array can be installed inside the oral irrigator to capture various sound signals generated during the irrigating process. These sound signals may reflect the state of the tooth surface (such as whether there is food residue) or the user's reaction (such as sounds caused by discomfort). By analyzing these sound characteristics, the system can determine whether the irrigating parameters need to be adjusted. When a lot of food residue is detected, the water temperature can be adjusted to around 35-37 degrees to reduce oral irritation and remind the user to strengthen the cleaning of this area.
[0098] In this embodiment, by marking teeth, users can take pictures of their own teeth with a camera or use the tooth distribution map provided in the mobile phone to mark tooth information, such as healthy teeth, sensitive teeth, bad teeth, easily blocked teeth, and wisdom teeth, and provide appropriate flushing modes for each type of tooth. For example, easily blocked teeth require strong and continuous flushing, and sensitive teeth require gentle flushing. In addition, according to actual needs, only the flushing mode can be switched. After turning on the water flosser, it is placed close to the teeth. After detecting the pre-set tooth type, it automatically switches to the appropriate mode. After moving the position, it continues to detect the tooth condition and judges to switch to the corresponding set flushing mode. By marking the health status of each tooth and adapting to the appropriate mode, the effect of protecting the health of the teeth and cleaning the teeth is achieved.
