The terminal can be a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

In step S302, the electric toothbrush determines brushing identity information of the user based on the user identification.

Wherein the brushing identity information includes at least one of a record of treatment of the teeth in the user's dental medical record, the user's age, and the user's gender.

In one possible implementation, the electric toothbrush stores the corresponding relationship between the user identification and the tooth brushing identity information; correspondingly, the step S302 may be: the electric toothbrush determines the tooth brushing identity information of the user from the corresponding relation between the user identification and the tooth brushing identity information according to the user identification.

It should be noted that, before this step, the electric toothbrush obtains the correspondence between the user identifier and the tooth brushing identity information from the server, and stores the correspondence between the user identifier and the tooth brushing identity information. The step of acquiring the corresponding relationship between the user identifier and the tooth brushing identity information from the server by the electric toothbrush can be as follows:

the electric toothbrush sends a first acquisition request to the first server, wherein the first acquisition request carries the equipment identification of the electric toothbrush, and the first acquisition request is used for acquiring the corresponding relation between the user identification and the tooth brushing identity information. When the first service area receives the first acquisition request, the corresponding relation between the user identification and the tooth brushing identity information is sent to the electric toothbrush according to the equipment identification of the electric toothbrush in the first acquisition request, and the electric toothbrush receives the corresponding relation between the user identification and the tooth brushing identity information and stores the corresponding relation between the user identification and the tooth brushing identity information to the local.

In another possible implementation manner, the first server stores a corresponding relationship between a user identifier and tooth brushing identity information, and the electric toothbrush acquires the tooth brushing identity information of the user from the first server according to the user identifier; correspondingly, the step S302 may be:

the electric toothbrush sends a second acquisition request to the first server, wherein the second acquisition request carries the equipment identification of the electric toothbrush and the user identification of the user; the first server receives a second acquisition request sent by the server, and sends tooth brushing identity information corresponding to the user identification to the electric toothbrush according to the equipment identification of the electric toothbrush and the user identification of the user in the second acquisition request, and the electric toothbrush receives the tooth brushing identity information. The first server may be a server corresponding to a brushing application on the electric toothbrush.

In another possible implementation, the electric toothbrush determines the user's brushing identity information from the user's dental medical record. This step can be realized by the following steps (1) to (3), including:

(1) and the electric toothbrush sends a third acquisition request to the second server, wherein the third acquisition request carries the user identification and is used for acquiring the dental medical record of the user.

Because the dental medical record relates to the privacy of the user, the electric toothbrush logs in the second server before sending the third acquisition request to the second server; after logging in the second server, the electric toothbrush sends a third acquisition request to the second server. Wherein, the step of the electric toothbrush logging in the second server may be:

the electric toothbrush sends a first login request to a second server, wherein the first login request carries a first user account and a first login password which are registered in the second server by a user; the second server receives a first login request, wherein the first login request carries a first user account and a first login password; the second server determines whether the first user account and the first login password are matched; allowing the electric toothbrush to log in to the second server when the first user account number and the first login password are matched; when the first user account number and the first login password do not match, the electric toothbrush is not allowed to log in the second server. The second server is different from the first server, and the second server is a server corresponding to the dental medical institution.

(2) And the second server receives a third acquisition request sent by the electric toothbrush and sends the dental medical record of the user to the electric toothbrush according to the third acquisition request.

The second server stores the corresponding relation between the user identification and the dental medical record; correspondingly, when the second server receives the third acquisition request, according to the user identifier carried by the third acquisition request, the dental medical record of the user is acquired from the corresponding relationship between the user identifier and the dental medical record, and the dental medical record of the user is returned to the electric toothbrush.

(3) The electric toothbrush receives the dental medical record of the user returned by the second server, and generates tooth brushing identity information of the user based on the dental medical record.

Wherein the dental medical record comprises tooth brushing identity information; the electric toothbrush obtains the user's brushing identity information directly from the dental medical record. The dental medical record also comprises a corresponding relation between the treatment time and the tooth brushing identity information; accordingly, the electric toothbrush can acquire the brushing identity information of the user within a first preset time period before the current time from the dental medical record according to the treatment time. The first preset time length can be set and changed as required, and in the embodiment of the disclosure, the first preset time length is not specifically limited; for example, the first preset time period may be 1 year, 3 years, or the like.

In another possible implementation, the electric toothbrush determines a user's dental medical record from the user's medical record, and determines the user's brushing identity information from the user's dental medical record. Accordingly, this step can be realized by the following steps (a) to (D), including:

(A) and the electric toothbrush sends a fourth acquisition request to the third server, wherein the fourth acquisition request carries the user identification and is used for acquiring the medical record of the user.

Because the medical record relates to user privacy, the electric toothbrush logs in the third server before sending the fourth acquisition request to the third server; after logging in the third server, the electric toothbrush sends a fourth acquisition request to the third server. The step of logging in the fourth server by the electric toothbrush may be:

the electric toothbrush sends a second login request to the second server, and the third server receives the second login request, wherein the second login request carries a second user account and a second login password; the third server determines whether the second user account and the second login password are matched; allowing the electric toothbrush to log in to the third server when the second user account number and the second login password are matched; when the second user account number and the second login password do not match, the electric toothbrush is not allowed to log in to the third server. The third server is different from the first server, the third server is different from the second server, and the third server is a server corresponding to the medical institution.

(B) And the third server receives a fourth acquisition request sent by the electric toothbrush and sends the medical record of the user to the electric toothbrush according to the fourth acquisition request.

The third server stores the corresponding relation between the user identification and the medical record; correspondingly, when the third server receives the fourth obtaining request, according to the user identifier carried by the fourth obtaining request, the third server obtains the medical record of the user from the corresponding relation between the user identifier and the medical record, and returns the medical record of the user to the electric toothbrush.

(C) The electric toothbrush receives the medical record of the user returned by the third server, and extracts the dental medical record of the user from the medical record.

The medical records include dental medical records and other medical records of the user. The electric toothbrush can extract the dental medical record directly from the medical record. The medical record also comprises the corresponding relation between the treatment time and the medical record; accordingly, the electric toothbrush may extract the dental medical record of the user within a second preset time period before the current time from the medical record according to the treatment time. The second preset time length may be the same as the first preset time length or different from the first preset time length, and the second preset time length may be set and changed as needed, and in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second preset time length is not specifically limited; for example, the second preset time period may also be 1 year or 3 years, etc.

(D) The electric toothbrush generates brushing identity information for the user based on the dental medical record.

This step is similar to the step of generating the tooth brushing identity information of the user based on the dental medical record in the step (3), and is not described herein again.

In step S303, the electric toothbrush determines a brushing intensity range corresponding to the brushing identity information according to the brushing identity information.

In one possible implementation mode, the electric toothbrush stores the corresponding relation between the tooth brushing identity information and the tooth brushing strength range; correspondingly, step S303 may be: the electric toothbrush determines the brushing strength range corresponding to the brushing identity information according to the brushing identity information and the corresponding relation between the brushing identity information and the brushing strength range.

The correspondence between the tooth brushing identity information and the tooth brushing intensity range may be preset by the user, or may be obtained from the first server for the electric toothbrush, and in this step, this is not specifically limited.

In another possible implementation, different ages, sexes, and/or dental medical records correspond to different ranges of brushing strengths; accordingly, this step can be realized by the following steps (1) to (3), including:

(1) the electric toothbrush acquires a first brushing strength range corresponding to the age from the corresponding relation between the age and the first brushing strength range according to the age; and/or acquiring a second brushing strength range corresponding to the gender from the corresponding relationship between the gender and the second brushing strength range according to the gender; and/or acquiring a third tooth brushing strength range corresponding to the dental medical record from the corresponding relation between the dental medical record and the third tooth brushing strength range according to the dental medical record.

Before this step, the electric toothbrush stores the corresponding relationship between the age and the first brushing strength range, and the process may be: the electric toothbrush sets a first tooth brushing strength range corresponding to each age, and establishes a corresponding relation between the age and the first tooth brushing strength range.

In this step, the electric toothbrush may further store a correspondence between the age group and the first brushing intensity range, instead of storing the age group and the first brushing intensity range; correspondingly, the step of acquiring the first brushing strength range corresponding to the age from the corresponding relationship between the age and the first brushing strength range by the electric toothbrush according to the age may be: the electric toothbrush determines the age group of the age according to the age, and acquires a first brushing pressure force range corresponding to the age group from the corresponding relation between the age group and the first brushing force range according to the age group.

Before this step, the electric toothbrush needs to store the corresponding relationship between the age group and the first brushing strength range, and the process may be: the electric toothbrush divides the age into a plurality of age groups, and for each age group, a first tooth brushing strength range corresponding to the age group is set, and a corresponding relation between the age group and the first tooth brushing strength range is established.

The number of age groups and the range of each age group are not particularly limited in the present disclosure, for example, the ages may be divided into 5 age groups, and the ranges of the ages in the 5 age groups are respectively: 0-6, 7-20, 20-40, 40-60 and more than 60. The brushing strength ranges corresponding to each age group can be the same or different, for example, the brushing strength ranges corresponding to the above 5 age groups are: 1.5N-2N, 2N-2.5N, 2.5N-3N, 2N-2.5N, 1.5N-2N.

Accordingly, in this step, the electric toothbrush also needs to store the correspondence between the gender and the second brushing intensity range. The second brushing force range is not particularly limited in the present disclosure, for example, the second brushing force range corresponding to a woman may be: 2N-2.5N, the second brushing strength range for men may be: 2.5N-3.5N.

Accordingly, in this step, the electric toothbrush needs to store the correspondence between the dental medical record and the third brushing force range. For example, the third brushing force range may be 2N-4N when there is a repair record of teeth in the dental medical record, and may be 2N-3N when there is no repair record of teeth in the dental medical record.

(2) The electric toothbrush determines the brushing intensity range according to the first brushing intensity range, and/or the second brushing intensity range, and/or the third brushing intensity range.

In a first implementation, the electric toothbrush can determine the first brushing intensity range as the brushing intensity range of the user; alternatively, the electric brushing can determine the second brushing intensity range as the brushing intensity range for the user; alternatively, the electric toothbrush can determine the third brushing force range as the brushing force range for the user.

In a second implementation, the electric toothbrush can determine the brushing intensity range for the user based on the first brushing intensity range and the second brushing intensity range.

In one possible implementation, the electric toothbrush determines a union of the first brushing intensity range and the second brushing intensity range as the brushing intensity range of the user; or the electric toothbrush determines the intersection of the first brushing strength range and the second brushing strength range as the brushing strength range of the user.

In another possible implementation, the electric toothbrush determines a first maximum power and a second maximum power according to the first brushing power range and the second brushing power range, and determines the second brushing power range as the brushing power range of the user when the first maximum power is greater than the second maximum power. When the first maximum force is not larger than the second maximum force, determining a first brushing force range as the brushing force range of the user; wherein, the first maximum power is the maximum value of the first tooth brushing power range, and the second maximum power is the maximum value of the second tooth brushing power range.

In another possible implementation, the electric toothbrush determines a first minimum force and a first maximum force for a first range of brushing forces and a second minimum force and a second maximum force for a second range of brushing forces, determines a first average of the first minimum force and the second minimum force and a second average of the first maximum force and the second maximum force, and combines the first average and the second average into the brushing force range for the user.

In a third implementation, the electric toothbrush can determine the brushing intensity range for the user based on the first brushing intensity range and the third brushing intensity range.

This step is similar to the above-mentioned process of determining the brushing strength range of the user based on the first brushing strength range and the third brushing strength range, and is not repeated herein.

In a fourth implementation, the electric toothbrush can determine the brushing intensity range for the user based on the second brushing intensity range and the third brushing intensity range.

In a fifth implementation, the electric toothbrush can determine the brushing intensity range for the user based on the first brushing intensity range, the second brushing intensity range, and the third brushing intensity range.

In one possible implementation, the electric toothbrush determines a union of the first brushing intensity range, the second brushing intensity range, and the third brushing intensity range as the brushing intensity range of the user; or the electric toothbrush determines the intersection of the first brushing strength range, the second brushing strength range and the third brushing strength range as the brushing strength range of the user. For example, if the user is 6 years old, gender maiden, and has no dental medical record, the brushing intensity of the user is determined to be 1.5N-3N according to the union of the first brushing intensity range, the second brushing intensity range, and the third brushing intensity range. And if the user is 12 years old, male in gender and has no dental medical record, the tooth brushing strength of the user is determined to be 2N-3.5N according to the union of the first tooth brushing strength range, the second tooth brushing strength range and the third tooth brushing strength range. And if the user is 35 years old and female in gender and has a dental medical record, the tooth brushing strength of the user is determined to be 2N-4N according to the union of the first tooth brushing strength range, the second tooth brushing strength range and the third tooth brushing strength range.

In another possible implementation manner, the electric toothbrush determines a first maximum power, a second maximum power and a third maximum power according to the first brushing power range, the second brushing power range and the third brushing power range, and determines the brushing power range corresponding to the minimum power among the first maximum power, the second maximum power and the third maximum power as the brushing power range of the user. Wherein, the first maximum power is the maximum value of the first tooth brushing power range, the second maximum power is the maximum value of the second tooth brushing power range, and the third maximum power is the maximum value of the third tooth brushing power range.

For example, if the user is 6 years old, gender female, and has no dental medical record, the brushing intensity of the user is determined to be 1.5N-2N according to the first brushing intensity range, the second brushing intensity range, and the third brushing intensity range. And if the user is 12 years old, male in gender and has no dental medical record, the tooth brushing strength of the user is determined to be 2N-2.5N according to the first tooth brushing strength range, the second tooth brushing strength range and the third tooth brushing strength range. And if the user is 35 years old, sexes and has dental medical records, the tooth brushing strength of the user is determined to be 2N-2.5N according to the first tooth brushing strength range, the second tooth brushing strength range and the third tooth brushing strength range.

In another possible implementation, the electric toothbrush determines a first minimum force and a first maximum force for a first range of brushing forces, and determines a second minimum force and a second maximum force for a second range of brushing forces, and determines a third minimum force and a third maximum force for a third range of brushing forces, determines a third average of the first minimum force, the second minimum force, and the third minimum force, and determines a fourth average of the first maximum force, the second maximum force, and the third maximum force, and combines the third average and the fourth average into the user's range of brushing forces.

For example, if the user is 6 years old, gender maiden, and has no dental medical record, the brushing intensity of the user is determined to be 1.83N-2.5N according to the first brushing intensity range, the second brushing intensity range, and the third brushing intensity range. And if the user is 12 years old, male in gender and has no dental medical record, the tooth brushing strength of the user is determined to be 2.17N-3N according to the first tooth brushing strength range, the second tooth brushing strength range and the third tooth brushing strength range. And if the user is 35 years old, sexes and has dental medical records, the tooth brushing strength of the user is determined to be 2.17N-3.17N according to the first tooth brushing strength range, the second tooth brushing strength range and the third tooth brushing strength range.

In another possible implementation, the electric toothbrush can determine the brushing intensity range based on at least one of the first brushing intensity range, the second brushing intensity range, or the third brushing intensity range, e.g., the electric toothbrush can determine the first brushing intensity range based only on age, from which the brushing intensity range is determined. The electric toothbrush can also determine a first brushing strength range and a second brushing strength range according to age and gender, and determine the brushing strength range according to the first brushing strength range and the second brushing strength range, for example, when the tooth brushing identity information is a female of 25 years old, the first brushing strength range is determined to be 2.5N-3N, and the second brushing strength range is determined to be 2N-2.5N, the brushing strength range can be determined to be 2N-2.5N according to the first brushing strength range and the second brushing strength range.

The brushing force range is also related to the electric brushing mode, and for example, the brushing mode of the electric toothbrush includes a standard mode, a massage mode, a whitening mode, and the like. Correspondingly, the electric toothbrush can also store the corresponding relation between the tooth brushing mode and the fourth tooth brushing strength range, when the tooth brushing strength range is determined, the electric toothbrush can determine the fourth tooth brushing strength range according to the tooth brushing mode, and then determine the tooth brushing strength range through the first tooth brushing strength range, and/or the second tooth brushing strength range, and/or the third tooth brushing strength range, and/or the fourth tooth brushing strength range. The step of determining the brushing force range by the electric toothbrush with the first brushing force range, and/or the second brushing force range, and/or the third brushing force range, and/or the fourth brushing force range is similar to the step of determining the brushing force range by the electric toothbrush with the first brushing force range, and/or the second brushing force range, and/or the third brushing force range, and will not be described herein again.

In step S304, the electric toothbrush detects a current brushing force of the electric toothbrush during brushing of the electric toothbrush.

The electric toothbrush can detect the current brushing strength of the electric toothbrush according to a pressure sensor, and in a possible implementation mode, the pressure sensor is installed on a handle of the electric toothbrush and is used for generally detecting the strength of the user holding the toothbrush to analyze the brushing strength of the toothbrush applied to teeth. In another possible implementation, the electric toothbrush detects the current brushing force of the electric toothbrush through a pressure sensor of the electric toothbrush, which is disposed on the back of the brush head of the electric toothbrush. When a user brushes teeth, the acting force of the teeth and the brush head is mutual, the force applied to the brush head is detected through a pressure sensor on the brush head, and the force applied to the brush head by the pressure sensor is the same as the force applied to the teeth by the brush head due to the mutual acting force. Therefore, the force applied to the brush head is the current brushing force of the user.

In step S305, when the electric toothbrush detects that the current brushing strength is not within the brushing strength range, a prompt signal is output for prompting the user to brush teeth with the brushing strength range.

When the current tooth brushing strength is larger than the maximum tooth brushing strength within the tooth brushing strength range or the current tooth brushing strength is smaller than the minimum tooth brushing strength within the tooth brushing strength range, the electric toothbrush determines that the current tooth brushing strength is not within the tooth brushing strength range, and at the moment, the electric toothbrush outputs a prompt signal to prompt a user to brush teeth within the tooth brushing strength range.

Wherein the prompt signal comprises output prompt information; and/or reducing the frequency of vibration of the electric toothbrush. For example, in one possible implementation, when the electric toothbrush detects that the current brushing intensity is not within the brushing intensity range, the electric toothbrush sounds an alert tone, or the electric toothbrush sends an alert message to the wearable device. In another possible implementation, the electric toothbrush reduces the frequency of vibration of the electric toothbrush when the electric toothbrush detects that the current brushing force is not within the brushing force range. In another possible implementation, the electric toothbrush may reduce the vibration frequency of the electric toothbrush while outputting the prompt. It should be noted that the range and manner of reducing the vibration frequency of the electric toothbrush are not limited in the present disclosure, the electric toothbrush may reduce the vibration frequency until the vibration frequency is reduced to 0, and the electric toothbrush may reduce the vibration frequency to a certain frequency and then vibrate at the frequency.

In one possible implementation, when the electric toothbrush detects that the current brushing strength is not within the brushing strength range, the electric toothbrush outputs a prompt signal, the user needs to restart the electric toothbrush, and the restarted electric toothbrush detects whether the current brushing strength is within the brushing strength range again. In another possible implementation manner, when the electric toothbrush detects that the current tooth brushing strength is not within the tooth brushing strength range, a prompt signal is output; the electric toothbrush continues to detect the tooth brushing strength after outputting the prompt signal, and stops sending the prompt signal when detecting that the adjusted tooth brushing strength is in the tooth brushing strength range.

In another possible implementation manner, the electric toothbrush may prompt the user of the brushing strength by different prompt signals, and the process may be: when the current tooth brushing strength is greater than the maximum tooth brushing strength within the range of tooth brushing strength, outputting a first prompt signal for prompting that the tooth brushing strength of the user exceeds the maximum tooth brushing strength. When the current tooth brushing strength is smaller than the minimum tooth brushing strength within the tooth brushing strength range, outputting a second prompt signal, wherein the second prompt signal is used for prompting the user that the tooth brushing strength is smaller than the minimum tooth brushing strength.

In one possible implementation, when the electric toothbrush detects that the current brushing strength is not within the brushing strength range, the electric toothbrush directly outputs a prompt signal. In another possible implementation manner, the electric toothbrush obtains the control instruction in the prompt signal, and adjusts the current brushing strength to the adjusted brushing strength according to the control instruction. When the adjusted tooth brushing force is not in the tooth brushing force range, the electric toothbrush outputs a prompt signal.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the tooth brushing identity information is determined through the user identification of the user, and then the tooth brushing strength range of the user is determined through the tooth brushing identity information. So that the user can accurately find the proper range of the tooth brushing strength. The user is prompted to brush teeth according to the tooth brushing force within the range, so that the phenomenon that the tooth brushing force is too high when the user brushes the teeth is avoided, and the teeth are prevented from being damaged by tooth brushing; meanwhile, the problem of insufficient tooth cleaning is avoided.
