Patent number: 11363971Abstract: A motion tracking element for an oral hygiene element such as a toothbrush. The motion tracking element may be detachably coupled to the oral hygiene element. The motion tracking element may include a body having an outer surface, a portion of the outer surface having a pattern that includes a plurality of indicators with a non-circular shape. The indicators may be flush with and form part of the outer surface. A plurality of visual markers may be located on the outer surface, each of the visual markers having a circular shape. The plurality of visual markers may be formed integrally with the body. A method for estimating a pose of an oral hygiene device may be achieved using the motion tracking element.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2021Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Colgate-Palmolive CompanyInventors: Vincent El Kouby-Benichou, Olivier Giroud, Thomas Serval, Yann Nicolas

Patent number: 11330896Abstract: Tooth brushing monitoring system is disclosed that includes a toothbrush with sensors and a base station. The sensors record data regarding the quality, quantity and location of brushing and the system can analyze the data to provide feedback on the quality of brushing. This feedback provides motivation for users to increase their brushing habits, leading to a decrease in plaque, tooth decay and gingivitis.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Kolibree SASInventors: Thomas Serval, Loic Cessot, Samuel Landau

Patent number: 11278384Abstract: Oral hygiene monitoring system is disclosed to track motion and orientation of an oral hygiene device. The control system may process data output from a motion sensor to determine position and orientation of an oral hygiene device with respect to a user's mouth. In some examples, the system may use machine learning techniques to identify position and orientation, brush stroke type, and other specific actions.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2017Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: KOLIBREE SASInventors: Thomas Serval, Yann Nicolas, Léonie Williamson

Publication number: 20220007829Abstract: A method for promoting compliance with an oral hygiene regimen includes displaying, on a display device, a representation of at least a portion of a set of teeth of a user. The method also includes overlaying an indicium on the representation such that the indicium is associated with a first section of the representation. Responsive to a determination, via at least one of one or more processors, that a head of an oral hygiene device is positioned directly adjacent to a first section of the set of teeth that corresponds to the first section of the representation for at least a predetermined amount of time, the indicium is removed from the display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2021Publication date: January 13, 2022Applicant: Colgate-Palmolive CompanyInventors: Thomas SERVAL, Yann NICOLAS

Publication number: 20210396569Abstract: A method for determining a normalized weight of a non-static item is disclosed. Weight data associated with the non-static item is received from a plurality of load cells. A load cell weight for the non-static item is determined based at least in part on the weight data. The load cell weight for the non-static item is received as an input for a machine learning algorithm. The normalized weight for the non-static item is generated as an output for the machine learning algorithm.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Thomas Serval, Gauthier de Rouzé
