INTELLIGENT TOOTHBRUSH MONITORING DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a toothbrush monitoring device (1), comprising: a memory (4) for storing reference data, a comparator (5) for comparing produced data with said reference data stored in the memory (4), and an indicator (6) for indicating to the user whether or not the produced data corresponds to the reference data. To obtain a cost effective and space saving solution which makes it possible take into account individual factors in the use of a toothbrush, a sensor apparatus consists of an ac-celerometer (3) only, which is configured to produce data indicating angles in which the toothbrush (9) is held during use. The monitoring device (1) comprises a switch (8) for setting the monitoring device (1) into a teaching mode, wherein the data pro-duced by the accelerometer (3) is stored into said memory (4) for use as reference data during subsequent use of the toothbrush (9).
