Abstract
An apparatus for determining a body portion of a user treated by the user using a personal hygienic device. The apparatus includes a camera configured to capture the user to obtain a pictorial representation of the user while treating the body portion using the personal hygienic device; an interface configured to receive sensor data from at least one inertial sensor residing in the personal hygienic device; and an analyzer configured to analyze the pictorial representation and the sensor data to determine the body portion.
Claims15
An apparatus for determining a body portion of a user treated by the user using a personal hygienic device, the apparatus comprising:
- a camera configured to capture the user to obtain a pictorial representation of the user while treating the body portion using the personal hygienic device;
- an interface configured to receive sensor data from at least one inertial sensor residing in the personal hygienic device;
- and
- an analyzer configured to analyze the pictorial representation using a machine-learning method based on normalized face region samples with known or annotated sectors and to combine resulting pictorial data with the sensor data to determine the body portion.
A method for determining a body portion of a user treated by the user using a personal hygienic device, comprising:
- capturing the user to obtain a pictorial representation of the user while treating the body portion using the personal hygienic device;
- receiving sensor data from at least one inertial sensor residing in the personal hygienic device;
- and
- analyzing the pictorial representation using a machine-learning method based on normalized face region samples with known or annotated sectors and to combine resulting pictorial data with the sensor data to determine the body portion.
