Electric Toothbrush Feedback System for Brushing Quality
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users lack clear understanding and effective guidance for developing good tooth brushing habits, leading to inadequate tooth brushing duration and pressure, which affects the quality of tooth brushing.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that collect tooth brushing data from electric toothbrushes, evaluate the brushing quality based on duration and pressure, and provide personalized instruction information to users, recommending optimal brushing solutions based on user-specific information and algorithms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If users brush teeth without professional guidance, then tooth brushing is simple and easy to operate, but tooth brushing quality is insufficient with inadequate duration and pressure
Solution Approach 1:
The system collects tooth brushing data (duration, pressure) during the brushing process, evaluates it against professional standards, and provides real-time feedback to users through a processing device. This feedback loop enables users to maintain proper brushing technique without requiring professional training, thus improving tooth brushing quality while keeping the operation simple.
2Manufacturing precision
If professional tooth brushing guidance is provided, then tooth brushing quality improves, but system complexity increases due to data collection and evaluation mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The electric toothbrush automatically collects brushing data (duration, pressure) during normal use without requiring additional user intervention. The processing device automatically evaluates this data against professional standards and generates feedback. This self-service mechanism maintains high brushing quality while minimizing system complexity by automating data collection and evaluation processes.
3Loss of information
If tooth brushing data is collected and evaluated, then actionable feedback is provided to improve brushing habits, but loss of time occurs in data processing and analysis
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes professional tooth brushing standards and evaluation criteria in the processing device before actual brushing occurs. During brushing, the system only needs to collect data and compare it against these pre-loaded standards, rather than performing complex analysis from scratch. This preliminary preparation reduces processing time while maintaining comprehensive evaluation of brushing quality.

AI summary
A method, an apparatus and a system for instructing tooth brushing, a processing device and a storage medium relate to the field of intelligent home technologies. The method includes: acquiring tooth brushing data collected by an electric toothbrush (101) during a tooth brushing process of the electric toothbrush (101) based on a target tooth brushing solution, wherein the tooth brushing data includes: a tooth brushing duration and a tooth brushing pressure; acquiring a tooth brushing evaluation result based on the tooth brushing data; outputting the tooth brushing evaluation result; and sending tooth brushing instruction information based on tooth brushing information. The tooth brushing information includes: at least one of the tooth brushing evaluation result and the tooth brushing data. The tooth brushing instruction information is configured to instruct a user of the electric toothbrush (101) to brush teeth. The user of the electric toothbrush learns about a tooth brushing quality of a current tooth brushing process by checking the tooth brushing evaluation result, and improves the next tooth brushing process according to the tooth brushing instruction information to improve the subsequent tooth brushing quality.
