Abstract
A shaving system may include a handle, a skin-contacting surface coupled to the handle, one or more blades coupled to the skin-contacting surface, and one or more sensors configured to record sounds generated during use of the shaving system.
Claims20
A shaving system, comprising:
- a handle;
- a skin-contacting surface coupled to the handle;
- one or more blades coupled to the skin-contacting surface;
- and
- one or more sensors configured to record sounds generated during use of the shaving system;
- and
- a processor coupled to the one or more sensors, the processor is configured to utilize the recorded sounds to determine a number of shaving strokes taken with the one or more blades and to generate an alert or automatically place an order for new shaving components when the determined number of shaving strokes exceeds a predetermined threshold.
4 more elements
A method of analyzing a shaving session, the method comprising:
- receiving audio signals from one or more microphones coupled to a shaver;
- analyzing the audio signals;
- determining whether shaving is complete when audio signals associated with a number of strokes received in a predetermined time period exceeds a predetermined threshold;
- and
- providing feedback based on the analysis.
2 more elements
A controller for a shaving system, the controller being coupled to one or more microphones attached to a shaver of the shaving system, the controller comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive audio signals from the one or more microphones;
- analyze the audio signals;
- utilize the audio signals to determine a number of shaving strokes taken;
- provide feedback based on the analysis;
- and
- generate an alert or automatically place an order for new shaving components when the determined number of shaving strokes exceeds a predetermined threshold.
