  • Oral care system and method
    Patent number: 11602216
    Abstract: A method for oral care. In one aspect, the method for oral care includes a) receiving sensor data from at least one sensor configured to detect motion of an oral care device during a brushing routine of a user, the sensor data corresponding to the detected motion; and b) determining a target brushing time based on the sensor data. In another aspect, the method for oral care includes a) receiving sensor data from at least one sensor configured to detect brushing intensity during a brushing routine of a user, the sensor data corresponding to the detected brushing intensity; and b) determining a target brushing time based on the sensor data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 14, 2023
    Assignee: Colgate-Palmolive Company
