Abstract
A device comprises a treatment system to treat scalp or hair; one or more sensors configured to detect at least one spatial condition selected from device contact with scalp or hair, device distance to scalp or hair, and device location in relation to scalp or hair; a controller configured to send instructions to adjust the treatment system based on the detected spatial condition of the device.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a treatment system to treat scalp or hair;
- one or more sensors configured to detect at least one spatial condition selected from device contact with scalp or hair, device distance to scalp or hair, and device location in relation to scalp or hair;
- a controller configured to send instructions to adjust the treatment system based on the detected spatial condition of the device.
A method for treating hair or scalp with a device including a treatment system and a controller having instructions stored therein to perform steps, the method comprising:
- with the controller, accessing a treatment protocol for the treatment system, wherein the treatment protocol specifies a treatment based on spatial conditions of the device;
- with the controller, interpreting signals from one or more sensors into a spatial condition of the device in relation to the scalp or hair;
- with the controller, comparing the spatial condition of the device to the treatment protocol;
- and
- with the controller, commanding the treatment system to adjust the treatment to the treatment protocol.
