Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

This filing describes a system where a smartphone connects to a smart toothbrush and accesses a user's electronic dental records. It compares the user's actual brushing movements with the specific pattern recommended by their dentist to provide real-time guidance.

Why it mattersIt connects personal medical data with daily habits, potentially helping users brush more effectively based on their specific dental needs.

In the filing’s own words

An electronic device includes a wireless communication circuit, a display, a processor, and a memory for storing instructions. The instructions may be executed by the processor to cause the electronic device to: identify first data related to an electronic medical record of a user based on detection of a first external electronic device and a first object related to a tooth brushing activity; determine, based on the first data, a first tooth brushing pattern related to the tooth brushing activity; receive second data related to the tooth brushing activity from the first external electronic device; identify, based on the second data, a second tooth brushing pattern indicated by the tooth brushing activity; determine the similarity between the first tooth brushing pattern and the second tooth brushing pattern; and display guide information based on the first tooth brushing pattern based on determining that the similarity is less than a threshold level.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic device comprising: a wireless communication circuit; a display; at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry; and a memory for storing instructions, wherein at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, is configured to execute the instructions to cause the electronic device to: identify first data related to an electronic medical record of a user, based on detecting a coupling between a first external electronic device and a first object related to a tooth brushing activity of the user; determine a first tooth brushing pattern related to the tooth brushing activity of the user, based on the first data; receive second data related to the tooth brushing activity of the user from the first external electronic device via the wireless communication circuit; identify a second tooth brushing pattern indicated by the tooth brushing activity of the user, based on the second data; determine a similarity between the first tooth brushing pattern and the second tooth brushing pattern; and control the display to display guide information based on the first tooth brushing pattern, based on determining that the similarity is less than a specified threshold level.
