Abstract

An oral care method using an electric toothbrush includes receiving brushing data from an electric toothbrush, by an application; and analyzing the brushing data by the application to display a brushing score indicating how much the brushing is performed.

Claims (27)

1. An oral care method using an electric toothbrush, the method comprising:

receiving brushing data from an electric toothbrush, by an application; and

displaying a brushing score indicating how much a brushing is performed by analyzing the brushing data by the application,

wherein the displaying the brushing score comprises:

calculating the brushing score by the following Equation:

Brushing score=Number of brushing times* A +Brushing hour (s)* B −Score of brushing strength,  [Equation]

where A and B are constants and a score of the brushing strength is a value obtained by converting a pressure when the brushing is performed into a predetermined value.

2. The oral care method using an electric toothbrush of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the brushing data comprises:

receiving on-time and off-time data from the electric toothbrush and calculating a difference therebetween into a brushing hour.

3. The oral care method using an electric toothbrush of claim 1 , wherein the displaying the brushing score comprises:

displaying values obtained by cumulatively adding the brushing scores on a daily basis together with daily statistic data for each day on a weekly basis.

4. The oral care method using an electric toothbrush of claim 1 , wherein the displaying the brushing score comprises:

displaying values obtained by cumulatively adding the brushing scores on a daily basis together with data obtained by visualizing the brushing score for each day on a monthly basis.

5. The oral care method using an electric toothbrush of claim 1 , further comprising:

sharing the brushing score with an application of another device.

6. The oral care method using an electric toothbrush of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an input regarding a setting of the electric toothbrush from a user, by the application; and

transmitting a control signal of the electric toothbrush in accordance with the input to the electric toothbrush, by the application.

7. An oral care method using an electric toothbrush, the method comprising:

receiving brushing data from an electric toothbrush, by an application;

displaying a brushing score indicating how much a brushing is performed by analyzing the brushing data by the application;

receiving a current consumption measurement value of a vibrating motor from the electric toothbrush, by the application; and

determining a brushing strength by comparing the current consumption measurement value with a predetermined optimal current value, by the application.

8. The oral care method using an electric toothbrush of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the brushing data comprises:

receiving the brushing data in real time, and

wherein the displaying the brushing score comprises:

analyzing a direction of a brush head of the electric toothbrush and a direction of a reciprocating motion for brushing to determine a tooth which is being brushed and a progressive degree of the brushing and displaying the determined result to a user in real time.
