Devices and methods for smart personal grooming

A smart personal grooming device comprising:

• a body comprising a handle;
• a head portion connected to the body and a hair cutting implement;
• a camera oriented toward the hair cutting implement and configured to capture one or more images of a skin area and a hair area of a user when operating the smart personal grooming device, each of the images having a first portion proximal to the hair cutting implement and a second portion distal from the hair cutting implement;
• a sensor configured to measure sensor data based on movement of the smart personal grooming device;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the camera and the sensor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing computing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
• capture, by the camera, one or more images depicting the skin area of the user and the hair area of the user,
• detect, based on one or more images, each of the skin area and the hair area, wherein a boundary is defined between the skin area and the hair area;
• and
• determine a control state based on the boundary as detected in the one or more images,
• wherein the control state causes the computing instructions to execute the processor to implement at least one of:
• (a) activate the hair cutting implement to cause the hair cutting implement to remove hair in the hair area of the user;
• (b) deactivate the hair cutting implement;
• (c) activate of a haptic vibrator of the smart personal grooming device;
• (d) activate an audio device of the smart personal grooming device;
• (e) initiate a visual indicator of the smart personal grooming device;
• or
• (f) changing a cutting speed of the hair cutting implement.
