Patent number: 11673282Abstract: Sensor-based shaving systems and methods of analyzing a user's shave event are described for determining a unique threshold value of the user. A grooming device comprises a handle having a connecting structure connected to a hair cutting implement. A shave event sensor associated with the grooming device measures a user behavior, which includes collecting a first dataset comprising shave data defining a shave event. The first dataset is transmitted via a communication device and is analyzed to determine baseline behavior data of the user, and a unique threshold value of the user is determined from the baseline behavior data. One or more subsequent datasets, each comprising shave data of one or more corresponding shave events, is compared to the unique threshold value to determine comparison data. An indication is provided, based on the comparison data, to indicate a deviation from the threshold value and to influence the user behavior.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: The Gillette Company LLCInventors: Ian Anthony Good, Balasundram Periasamy Amavasai, Christopher Francis Rawlings, Amanda Washington, Susan Clare Robinson, Claus Hittmeyer, Werner Friedrich Johann Bonifer, Weiyan Yang, Angela Louise Richardson, Alexander James Hinchliffe Friend, Nicola Dawn Dixon, Shirley Namubiru, Joshua Thomas Kissel, Michael Thomas Roller, Venugopal Vasudevan, Robert Thomas Hinkle

Patent number: 11465306Abstract: A grooming device. The grooming device includes a handle having proximal and distal ends, an implement connecting structure, grooming implement, displacement sensor, and power source providing power to the displacement sensor. The implement connecting structure is pivotably connected to the proximal end of the handle about a first handle axis and has a connection element and an eject element that is moveable within the implement connecting structure along a second handle axis. The implement connecting structure also has a location element pivotably connected to the eject element such that as the implement connecting structure moves about the first handle axis the location element remains stationary relative to the handle and as the eject element moves along the second handle axis the location element is displaced relative to the handle and the displacement sensor detects displacement of the location element. The grooming implement is connected to the implement connecting structure.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: The Gillette Company LLCInventor: Ian Anthony Good
