[0019] Fig. 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] To further illustrate the embodiments, the present application provides drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present application, mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be explained in combination with the related description of the specification to understand the operation principle of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should understand other possible embodiments and advantages of the present application.

[0021] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] This invention provides an electric toothbrush with audio and video interaction function, as shown in Figure 1, including: a controller, a motor, a pressure sensor, a display module, an audio playback module, a charging module, buttons, and a three-axis gyroscope.

[0023] The controller communicates with the motor, pressure sensor, display module, audio playback module, charging module, buttons, and three-axis gyroscope. The motor receives control signals from the controller and controls the vibration of the brush handle connected to it. The pressure sensor monitors the pressure data between the brush handle and the teeth and sends it to the controller. The display module receives and displays the data sent by the controller. The audio playback module receives data from the controller and plays audio. The charging module is used for charging. The buttons send commands to the controller. The three-axis gyroscope detects the brush's position during brushing.

[0024] In this embodiment, the controller performs the following operations:

[0025] S1: When a button press command is received while the device is powered off, the power-on task is initiated, and a power-on reminder is displayed on the display module. In this embodiment, the power-on interface is first sent to the display module, followed by a welcome interface. Furthermore, in this embodiment, simultaneously with sending the power-on interface to the display module, the motor is started for N seconds to vibrate the brush handle connected to the motor. Simultaneously with sending the welcome interface to the display module, the corresponding audio information is sent to the audio playback module. The value of N can be set by those skilled in the art as needed and is not limited here. The combination of the display interface and audio allows for the display of video data, facilitating better information delivery to the user.

[0026] The specific implementation steps of the above-mentioned boot task in this embodiment are as follows:

[0027] When a command to trigger a button for an extended period is received while the device is powered off, a power-on interface is sent to the display module, and the motor is started to vibrate the brush handle connected to the motor.

[0028] Determine whether a short-term button trigger instruction is received within the first predetermined time interval before sending the boot screen to the display module. If so, send the welcome screen directly to the display module; otherwise, automatically send the welcome screen to the display module after the predetermined time interval before sending the boot screen.

[0029] At the same time as sending the welcome screen to the display module, the audio information corresponding to the welcome screen is also sent to the audio playback module.

[0030] The time of the long-time trigger and the short-time trigger can be set by the person skilled in the art, and is not limited herein.

[0031] S2: After the boot task is completed, entering the age setting task, and performing the gear selection task based on the age setting result in the age setting task.

[0032] The age setting task in the embodiment is specifically performed by the following steps:

[0033] After the second rated time after the welcome interface is sent to the display module, when the instruction that the key is short-time triggered is received, the age setting main interface is sent to the display module.

[0034] It is judged whether the instruction that the key is short-time triggered is received within the third rated time from sending the age setting main interface to the display module, if yes, the first age setting sub-page is directly sent to the display module; otherwise, the first age setting sub-page is sent to the display module after the third rated time from sending the age setting main interface to the display module.

[0035] After the first age setting sub-page is sent to the display module, when the instruction that the key is short-time triggered is received, the second age setting sub-page is sent to the display module.

[0036] After the second age setting sub-page is sent to the display module, when the instruction that the key is short-time triggered is received, the third age setting sub-page is sent to the display module.

[0037] The gear selection task in the embodiment needs to be selected based on the age setting result in the age setting task, for example, the age setting is below 5 years old, the corresponding gear selection is the super-soft gear; the age setting is 5-8 years old, the corresponding gear selection is the soft protection gear; the age setting is above 8 years old, the corresponding gear selection is the cleaning gear. The motor frequency corresponding to different gears is different. The gear selection task in the embodiment is specifically performed by the following steps:

[0038] After the first age setting sub-page is sent to the display module, when the instruction that the key is long-time triggered is received, the gear recommendation main interface is sent to the display module.

[0039] After the second age setting sub-page is sent to the display module, when the instruction that the key is long-time triggered is received, the gear recommendation main interface is sent to the display module.

[0040] After the third age setting sub-page is sent to the display module, when the instruction that the key is long-time triggered is received, the gear recommendation main interface is sent to the display module.

[0041] determining whether the instruction of the short-time triggering of the button is received within the fourth rated time from sending the gear recommendation main interface to the display module, if yes, corresponding sending the first, second or third age gear recommendation sub-interface to the display module based on the age setting sub-page sent before sending the gear recommendation main interface; otherwise, after the fourth rated time from sending the gear recommendation main interface to the display module, corresponding sending the first, second or third age gear recommendation sub-interface to the display module based on the age setting sub-page sent before sending the gear recommendation main interface.

[0042] S3: entering the tooth brushing task after the gear selection task is completed.

[0043] The tooth brushing task performs the following operations: controlling the vibration of the brush handle through the motor, and setting four tooth brushing time thresholds, the first three of which are used to switch the tooth brushing positions, and the fourth is used to indicate the end of tooth brushing, and when the current tooth brushing time reaches each tooth brushing time threshold, corresponding voice reminding data is sent to the audio playing module. During the execution of the tooth brushing task, the pressure generated between the tooth brushing process and the teeth is monitored in real time through the pressure sensor, and when the pressure exceeds the pressure threshold, an overpressure reminder is performed. During the tooth brushing process, the tooth brushing position is monitored in real time through the three-axis gyroscope, and when the monitored tooth brushing position does not cover all the tooth brushing positions, corresponding voice reminding data of the position not brushed is sent to the audio playing module.

[0044] The four tooth brushing time thresholds set in this embodiment are 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds and 120 seconds, respectively, wherein at the beginning of the task (i.e. 0 seconds), voice reminding data of "start brushing from the upper left teeth" is sent to the audio playing module; when the tooth brushing time reaches 30 seconds, voice reminding data of "switch to the upper right teeth" is sent to the audio playing module; when the tooth brushing time reaches 60 seconds, voice reminding data of "switch to the lower right teeth" is sent to the audio playing module; when the tooth brushing time reaches 90 seconds, voice reminding data of "switch to the lower left teeth" is sent to the audio playing module; when the tooth brushing time reaches 120 seconds, voice reminding data of "tooth brushing is completed, start rinsing" is sent to the audio playing module. The tooth brushing positions in the voice reminding contents corresponding to the above four tooth brushing positions can be adjusted arbitrarily.

[0045] When the pressure exceeds the pressure threshold, the overpressure reminder can be performed by changing the frequency of the vibration of the brush handle, or by sending corresponding voice reminding data of the overpressure to the audio playing module.

[0046] Further, in this embodiment, when the instruction of the button being triggered is received during the execution of the tooth brushing task, a tooth brushing pause task is entered; in the tooth brushing pause task, the gear is switched through the instruction of the button being triggered, and after the switching is completed, the tooth brushing task is continued to be executed at the switched gear.

[0047] Further, after the tooth brushing task is completed, it can also be judged whether the tooth brushing times (i.e. the historical times including the current times) exceed the preset tooth brushing times threshold, if yes, the display module is sent a reminder interface that the brush head needs to be replaced, and the audio playing module is sent voice reminding data corresponding to the reminder interface that the brush head needs to be replaced.

[0048] Further, after the tooth brushing task is completed, it can also be judged whether the tooth brushing times (i.e. the historical times including the current times) exceed the preset tooth brushing times threshold, if yes, the display module is sent a reminder interface that the brush head needs to be replaced, and the audio playing module is sent voice reminding data corresponding to the reminder interface that the brush head needs to be replaced.

[0049] The embodiment of the present application not only provides a more abundant information display mode, but also can interact with the user in real time through audio, and provide a more intelligent and personalized use experience. In addition, the embodiment optimizes the control logic of the electric toothbrush, so that the user can more conveniently and quickly complete various function settings and uses in the operation process.

[0050] Although the present application is specifically shown and introduced in combination with the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application defined in the appended claims, and all such changes are within the protection scope of the present application.
