Image Capture Synchronization with Vibration Cycle

The patent applies periodic action by synchronizing image capture with the vibration cycle of the personal care device. The control unit identifies low velocity periods within the periodic vibration cycle and triggers image capture during these intervals. This timing-based approach exploits the periodic nature of the vibration to capture images when motion blur is minimized, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining device operation and achieving high-quality images.

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-identifying and monitoring the vibration cycle phases before image capture occurs. The control unit continuously tracks the vibration pattern and predicts upcoming low velocity periods, preparing to capture images at the optimal moment. This anticipatory approach ensures that images are captured during the best possible conditions without interrupting the overall device operation.

The patent applies parameter changes by adapting the image capture timing to match the specific frequency characteristics of personal care device vibration. Instead of using fixed low-frequency stabilization techniques, the control unit dynamically adjusts capture timing based on the actual vibration frequency and cycle phases. This parameter adaptation enables effective image stabilization specifically tailored to high-frequency vibratory environments.

The patent implements dynamics by making the image capture process adaptive to real-time vibration conditions. The control unit continuously monitors vibration parameters and dynamically adjusts capture timing accordingly. This dynamic approach allows the system to respond to varying vibration frequencies and amplitudes, making the stabilization effective across different operating conditions rather than relying on static stabilization parameters.
