In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0041] In the related art, the teeth whitening device emits uneven light, resulting in weak binding with peroxide (whitening agent).

[0042] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a teeth whitening device. During the use of the teeth whitening device, the target output power is maintained unchanged by controlling the teeth whitening device so that the intensity of the cold light output by the teeth whitening device can remain unchanged, thereby ensuring that the teeth whitening device emits light uniformly, and achieving more uniform and thorough teeth whitening and gum inflammation reduction.

[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of a control method of a teeth whitening device shown in an embodiment of the present application.

[0045] See also Figure 1 The control method of the teeth whitening device of the present application comprises:

[0046] S110 , determining a target output power of the teeth whitening device according to the pigmentation degree of the user's teeth.

[0047] The teeth whitening device may include a control device and a cold light device, wherein the control device can control the operation of the teeth whitening device through a circuit board program, wherein the cold light device can be an LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamp, and the LED lamp can output cold light, and the cold light has whitening and anti-inflammatory functions.

[0048] The degree of pigmentation of the user's teeth is different, and the cold light intensity of the teeth whitening device required will be different. The output power corresponding to different cold light intensities is also different. Therefore, the control device can determine the target output power of the teeth whitening device according to the pigmentation of the user's teeth. The greater the pigmentation, the greater the cold light intensity required of the teeth whitening device, and the corresponding target output power of the teeth whitening device is greater. For example, assuming that user A often consumes dark-pigmented foods such as strong tea, coffee, red wine, and edible soy sauce, while user B does not consume much dark-pigmented foods and generally brushes his teeth after each meal, the pigmentation of user A's teeth is often greater than that of user B's teeth. Based on the pigmentation of user A's teeth, the target output power of the teeth whitening device can be determined to be P2, and based on the pigmentation of user B's teeth, the target output power of the teeth whitening device can be determined to be P1, where P2>P1.

[0049] S111, controlling the teeth whitening device to output cold light according to the target output power, so as to whiten the user's teeth and reduce gum inflammation.

[0050] The control device can control the cold light device to output cold light according to the target output power, so that the cold light is irradiated on the whitening agent pre-applied on the surface of the user's teeth, which can achieve a whitening effect that restores the natural gloss and whiteness of the teeth, and can achieve an anti-inflammatory effect that promotes gum repair.

[0051] S112, during the process of teeth whitening and gum anti-inflammation for the user, controlling the teeth whitening device to maintain a target output power unchanged until a preset end time is reached.

[0052] When a user uses a teeth whitening device, it generally takes a long time, for example, 30 minutes. Due to the long usage time, the power of the teeth whitening device gradually decreases during use, causing the intensity of the light source output by the teeth whitening device to change, resulting in uneven light emission from the teeth whitening device. In this regard, in the embodiment of the present application, during the process of the teeth whitening device performing teeth whitening and gum anti-inflammation on the user, the teeth whitening device can be controlled to maintain the target output power unchanged until the preset end time is reached. For example, assuming that the target output power of the teeth whitening device corresponding to user A is P2, and the preset end time is T, the control device can control the cold light device to output cold light according to the target output power P2, and perform teeth whitening and gum anti-inflammation on user A through cold light. During this process, the control device can control the cold light device to maintain the target output power P2 unchanged until the preset end time T is reached.

[0053] It can be seen that during the use of the teeth whitening device, the teeth whitening device always outputs cold light according to the target output power, so that the intensity of the cold light output by the teeth whitening device can remain unchanged, thereby ensuring that the teeth whitening device emits light evenly, so that the combination of the pigment deposits on the user's teeth and the peroxide (whitening agent) can be greatly enhanced, and the teeth whitening and gum inflammation can be more uniform and thorough.

[0054] As can be seen from this example, the solution provided by this application determines the target output power of the teeth whitening device based on the pigmentation degree of the user's teeth; controls the teeth whitening device to output cold light according to the target output power to whiten the user's teeth and reduce gum inflammation; and during the process of whitening the user's teeth and reducing gum inflammation, controls the teeth whitening device to maintain the target output power unchanged until a preset end time is reached. During the use of the teeth whitening device, this application controls the teeth whitening device to maintain the target output power unchanged so that the intensity of the cold light output by the teeth whitening device can remain unchanged, thereby ensuring that the teeth whitening device emits light evenly and achieves more uniform and thorough teeth whitening and gum reduction.

[0055] Figure 2 This is another flow chart of the control method of the teeth whitening device shown in the embodiment of the present application.

[0056] See also Figure 2 The control method of the teeth whitening device of the present application comprises:

[0057] S210, obtaining color value data of the user's teeth; wherein the color value data is used to represent the pigmentation degree of the user's teeth.

[0058] Before activating the cold light device, the control device may obtain color value data of the user's teeth. The color value data can be used to characterize the degree of pigmentation of the user's teeth, wherein a larger color value data value indicates a greater degree of pigmentation of the user's teeth. For example, assuming that user A frequently consumes dark-pigmented foods such as strong tea, coffee, red wine, and soy sauce, while user B rarely consumes dark-pigmented foods and generally brushes their teeth after each meal, the color value data obtained for user A's teeth is often greater than the color value data for user B's teeth, indicating that the degree of pigmentation of user A's teeth is greater than that of user B's teeth.

[0059] In one embodiment, the teeth whitening device includes multiple gears; obtaining the color value data of the user's teeth may include:

[0060] Receive a user trigger operation for a target gear; wherein the target gear is triggered from multiple gears by comparing with a color card; and obtain color value data of the user's teeth represented by the target gear.

[0061] The teeth whitening device is equipped with multiple gears, each of which represents different color value data. In actual use, the user can determine the color value of their current teeth by comparing them with a color chart. Then, they can trigger a target gear that matches the current tooth color value from the multiple gears. The control device can receive the user's triggering operation for the target gear and then obtain the color value data of the user's teeth represented by the target gear.

[0062] In one example, it is assumed that the teeth whitening device includes gears 1, 2 and 3, where gear 1 can represent color value data 1, gear 2 can represent color value data 2, and gear 3 can represent color value data 3. It is assumed that user A determines that the color value of the current teeth is color value data 2 by comparing with the color card, then user A can trigger gear 2, that is, gear 2 is the target gear, so that the control device can receive the trigger operation of user A for the target gear 2, and therefore the control device can obtain the color value data 2 of user A's teeth represented by the target gear 2.

[0063] In another embodiment, the teeth whitening device includes a camera; obtaining color value data of the user's teeth may include:

[0064] Get the color value data of the user's teeth detected by the camera.

[0065] The teeth whitening device is embedded with a camera. Before lighting up the teeth whitening device, that is, before starting the cold light device, the control device can control the camera to detect the color value of the user's teeth, thereby obtaining the color value data detected by the camera.

[0066] S211 , determining a target output power that matches the color value data from a plurality of preset output powers stored in the teeth whitening device.

[0067] The circuit program of the teeth whitening device pre-sets the preset output power corresponding to different color value data. Among them, the larger the color value data, the larger the corresponding preset output power. In actual application, the control device can traverse each preset output power stored in the teeth whitening device and then determine the target output power that matches the color value data of the user's teeth.

[0068] In one example, it is assumed that the teeth whitening device stores preset output powers P1, P2 and P3, wherein the preset output power P1 can correspond to color value data 1, the preset output power P2 can correspond to color value data 2, and the preset output power P3 can correspond to color value data 3. Assuming that the control device obtains the color value data 2 of user A's teeth, the control device can determine the preset output power P2 as the target output power from the preset output powers P1, P2 and P3.

[0069] S212, controlling the teeth whitening device to output cold light according to the target output power, so as to whiten the user's teeth and reduce gum inflammation.

[0070] The control device can control the cold light device to output cold light according to the target output power, so that the cold light is irradiated on the whitening agent pre-applied on the surface of the user's teeth, which can achieve a whitening effect that restores the natural gloss and whiteness of the teeth, and can achieve an anti-inflammatory effect that promotes gum repair.

[0071] In one embodiment, the cold light includes blue light and red light, wherein the blue light is used to whiten the user's teeth, and the red light is used to reduce gum inflammation of the user.

[0072] The cold light device can be an LED lamp that can output cold light. The cold light can include blue light and red light. The blue light has a whitening effect, while the red light has an anti-inflammatory effect. For example, when the cold light device outputs blue light, the blue light can be used to whiten the user's teeth, thereby achieving a whitening effect that restores the teeth's natural luster and whiteness. When the cold light device outputs red light, the red light can be used to reduce inflammation in the user's gums, thereby achieving an anti-inflammatory effect that promotes gum repair.

[0073] S213, during the process of teeth whitening and gum anti-inflammation for the user, the duty cycle of the cold light output by the teeth whitening device is controlled according to the change of the output voltage of the teeth whitening device, so that the teeth whitening device maintains the target output power unchanged until the preset end time is reached.

[0074] When a user uses a teeth whitening device, it generally takes a long time, for example, 30 minutes. Due to the long usage time, the power of the teeth whitening device gradually decreases during use, causing the output voltage of the teeth whitening device to change, resulting in changes in the intensity of the light source output by the teeth whitening device, thereby causing uneven light emission from the teeth whitening device. In this regard, the embodiment of the present application can read the output voltage of the teeth whitening device in real time while the teeth whitening device is whitening the user's teeth and reducing gum inflammation, so as to control the duty cycle of the cold light output by the teeth whitening device, that is, the duty cycle of the LED light, according to the changes in the output voltage of the teeth whitening device, so that the teeth whitening device can maintain the target output power unchanged until the preset end time is reached.

[0075] Among them, the duty cycle refers to the ratio of the time when the load or circuit is on to the time when the load or circuit is off. In the embodiment of the present application, the duty cycle of the LED lamp can be controlled by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) dimming to achieve the target output power of the teeth whitening device.

[0076] It can be seen that during the use of the teeth whitening device, the teeth whitening device always outputs cold light according to the target output power, so that the intensity of the cold light output by the teeth whitening device can remain unchanged, thereby ensuring that the teeth whitening device emits light evenly, so that the combination of the pigment deposits on the user's teeth and the peroxide (whitening agent) can be greatly enhanced, and the teeth whitening and gum inflammation can be more uniform and thorough.

[0077] In one embodiment, during the process of teeth whitening and gum anti-inflammation for a user, controlling the duty cycle of the cold light output by the teeth whitening device according to the change of the output voltage of the teeth whitening device so that the teeth whitening device maintains a target output power unchanged until a preset end time is reached, may include:

[0078] During the process of teeth whitening and gum anti-inflammation for the user, the output voltage of the teeth whitening device gradually decreases, and the duty cycle of the cold light output by the teeth whitening device is controlled to gradually increase, so that the teeth whitening device maintains the target output power unchanged until the preset end time is reached.

[0079] Since the power of the teeth whitening device gradually decreases during use, the output voltage of the teeth whitening device gradually decreases, thereby causing the intensity of the light source output by the teeth whitening device to gradually decrease, which in turn causes the teeth whitening device to emit uneven light. In this regard, the embodiment of the present application can read the output voltage of the teeth whitening device in real time while the teeth whitening device is whitening the user's teeth and reducing gum inflammation. Since the output voltage of the teeth whitening device read gradually decreases, for example, the teeth whitening device gradually decreases from a high voltage to a low voltage, during this process, the embodiment of the present application can control the duty cycle of the cold light output by the teeth whitening device to gradually increase, that is, control the duty cycle of the LED light to gradually increase, so that the teeth whitening device can maintain the target output power unchanged until the preset end time is reached.

[0080] The cold light includes blue light and red light, and the preset end time includes the whitening end time and the anti-inflammatory end time. In the embodiment of the present application, the user's teeth can be whitened using blue light first until the whitening end time is reached, and then the user's gums can be anti-inflammated using red light until the anti-inflammation end time is reached. In both the whitening process and the anti-inflammatory process, the teeth whitening device must be controlled to maintain a constant target output power.

[0081] In one example, assuming that the target output power of the teeth whitening device corresponding to user A is P2, the whitening end time is T1, and the anti-inflammation end time is T2, the control device can control the cold light device to output blue light according to the target output power P2, and whiten the teeth of user A through blue light. During the whitening process, the control device can gradually decrease according to the output voltage of the teeth whitening device, and control the duty cycle of the cold light device to output blue light to gradually increase, for example, the duty cycle of the cold light device to output blue light increases from 75% to 90%, so that the cold light device maintains the target output power P2 unchanged until the whitening end time T1 is reached, and then the cold light device can be controlled to output red light according to the target output power P2, and anti-inflammation of the gums of user A is performed through red light. During the anti-inflammation process, the control device can gradually decrease according to the output voltage of the teeth whitening device, and control the duty cycle of the cold light device to output red light to gradually increase, for example, the duty cycle of the cold light device to output red light increases from 90% to 100%, so that the cold light device maintains the target output power P2 unchanged until the anti-inflammation end time T2 is reached.

[0082] It can be seen that during the whitening process, the teeth whitening device always outputs blue light according to the target output power, and during the anti-inflammatory process, the teeth whitening device always outputs red light according to the target output power, so that the blue light intensity and red light intensity output by the teeth whitening device can remain unchanged, thereby ensuring that the teeth whitening device emits light evenly, so that the combination of the pigment deposits on the user's teeth and the peroxide (whitening agent) can be greatly enhanced, and the teeth whitening and gum anti-inflammatory can be achieved more evenly and thoroughly.

[0083] As can be seen from this example, the solution provided by this application obtains the color value data of the user's teeth; wherein the color value data is used to characterize the pigmentation degree of the user's teeth; determines the target output power that matches the color value data from multiple preset output powers stored in the teeth whitening device; controls the teeth whitening device to output cold light according to the target output power to perform teeth whitening and gum anti-inflammation on the user; in the process of teeth whitening and gum anti-inflammation on the user, controls the duty cycle of the cold light output by the teeth whitening device according to the change in the output voltage of the teeth whitening device, so that the teeth whitening device maintains the target output power unchanged until the preset end time is reached. In the process of using the teeth whitening device, this application controls the teeth whitening device to maintain the target output power unchanged, so that the intensity of the cold light output by the teeth whitening device can remain unchanged, thereby ensuring that the teeth whitening device emits light evenly, and achieving more uniform and thorough teeth whitening and gum anti-inflammation.
