Detailed Description

For many people, their daily activities include at least a brief stay in front of a bathroom mirror. The mirror may be utilized as a portal into the life of the user. The user may access the mirror to view their imagery or perform other personal hygiene functions. These accesses provide an opportunity to collect data from the user on a regular basis. These data may describe the health condition of the user. Tracking the health of a user over time provides rich opportunities for technological improvements in various technical areas, as described in the embodiments below.

FIG. 1 shows an exemplary health care scope 101, including sensors 10 and a controller 100, in communication with a communication network 22. Additional, different, or fewer components may be included. Data is collected by the health care scope 101 through the sensor 10. The data may describe physical or health characteristics of the user. In some cases, the user may desire to collect a particular type of data. In another case, data is automatically collected when the user is in front of the health mirror 101, within a line of sight, or near the health mirror 101. The term "proximate" may refer to any location within range of sensor 10. The term "in line of sight" may refer to the vicinity of the health care scope 101 without any physical obstructions (e.g., walls) in the middle. The term "in front of" may refer to a position within a predetermined range or area.

The sensor 10 may be any type of sensor that directly or indirectly detects a health characteristic of a user proximate the health mirror 101. Although various other sensors are described, in one embodiment, the sensor 10 is a temperature sensor (e.g., a thermometer). The sensor 10 may be another temperature mapping device, such as an infrared camera for detecting thermal characteristics of the user.

The sensor 10 may be an audio sensor, such as a microphone that detects sound generated by a user. Some sounds such as coughing, sneezing, or certain sound characteristics may indicate the health of the user. The sensor 102 may detect odors. The sensor 10 may detect Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) or other carbon-based (organic) chemicals (compounds), which are odors indicative of health conditions.

The sensor 10 may be a lens-bearing image capture device such as a digital aperture capture device (e.g., a camera) or a charge-coupled device (CCD) bearing image capture device such as an integrated circuit formed on a silicon surface that forms a photosensitive element. The image collection device may collect images for facial recognition of a user. The image collection device may collect images that identify image features of the user, such as the user's color or shape (e.g., bone density, contour, height, and/or weight). Other physical attributes may be determined from the user's image, including skin quality or condition at the cellular level, signs of hormonal imbalance, aging, sun damage, pigmentation, color, inflammation, environmental impact, or other abnormalities. In another example, muscle images of the user are analyzed to determine a muscle condition (e.g., a sprain, strain, or tear). The sensor 10 may be a retinal scanner configured to scan the eye of a user. The retinal scan may reveal eye features for identifying the user. The retinal scan may detect a health characteristic, such as a user's blood glucose level.

The controller 100 may analyze the sensor data. The controller 100 may compare values in the sensor data to one or more thresholds or ranges to identify a health characteristic of the user. For example, when the sensor data includes a temperature value, the controller 100 may compare the temperature value to a normal person's temperature value or range to identify a situation where the user may have an elevated temperature. The normal temperature value may be predetermined (e.g., 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (F)), or the normal temperature range (e.g., 97.5F to 99.5F) may span values around the normal temperature value.

The controller 100 may send the results of the analysis to a display or user interface, as discussed in detail below. When the temperature exceeds the threshold, the controller 100 may generate information as an alert to the user. As discussed in more detail in other embodiments, a display may be integrated with the health care mirror 101 to provide results of analyzing data to a user of the health care mirror 101.

The controller 100 may generate a log or diary for the sensor data. That is, after sensor data is collected, the sensor data may be stored in memory with an associated timestamp that records when the data was collected. Likewise, the sensor data may be stored with the identity of the user, which may be determined using any of the various techniques described herein.

The controller 100 may access the log to determine if an alarm should be generated. The alarm may be displayed on the health care scope 101. The alert may signal the user that they may be experiencing a health condition. The alert may signal a subsequent user of the health mirror 101 that other users are experiencing a health condition. For example, in a home, when a health condition occurs in one family member, the other members are alerted through the health mirror 101. Also, in a hotel, dormitory, public restroom, the controller 100 may determine when a user has a health condition and display an alert to other users to notice the risk.

The user's log may include when the user arrived or exited the bathroom, the user's sequence of activities, the user's time and/or sequence of hand washing, the user's shower time, frequency of hair washing, frequency of hand washing, frequency of body washing, toilet usage time, toilet usage frequency, hours of power usage, time spent in front of the mirror, or proximity to the mirror.

In another embodiment, the analysis of sensor data may be linked to a lock on a bathroom entrance or bathroom door. The sensor 10 may be mounted on an exterior door of a bathroom. Before allowing access to the bathroom, the controller 100 determines whether the user is experiencing a health care condition. For example, the controller 100 may compare the sensor data to a temperature threshold and unlock or allow entry into the bathroom only if the temperature does not exceed the threshold. Other user characteristics besides temperature may be used. For example, the sensor 10 may detect the presence of a certain viral infection or an antibody thereto.

In addition to access control, other services of the bathroom, such as lights, water, and flush functions, are activated only when the controller 100 determines that the user is not currently in a healthy condition. Thus, the controller 100 may compare the temperature of the user to a threshold and generate a command to turn off lights, turn off water, or turn off one or more appliances when the temperature of the user indicates a health condition. In this case, restricting access to the bathroom can protect the bathroom or virus contamination.

The controller 100 may send the analysis results to the communication network 22 directly or through a communication bus to transfer data between the controllers 100. The communication network 22 may be coupled to or include a server, a network device (another computer connected to the communication network 22), and a communication bus. Through the communication network 22, the controller 100 may transmit information including the analysis result or the sensor data to a central controller, which may be implemented by a network device or a server. The central controller may perform an analysis of the sensor data. The central controller may compile sensor data from a plurality of health glasses 101. The central controller may be a cloud device configured to communicate with a plurality of network devices located at a plurality of locations (e.g., different homes or businesses) for a plurality of health glasses 101. The central controller may implement a cloud service that coordinates and analyzes data from the plurality of health glasses 101. The health care scope 101 or any of the plurality of health care scopes may receive a report from the central controller indicating that a health condition exists at any of the other health care scopes 101. The controller 100 may generate and display an alert on the health mirror 101 in response to the health status broadcast by the central controller. The controller 100 may be configured to analyze data for tracking a user and responsively compute instructions for the user.

In another embodiment, the health glasses may be managed according to geographic regions. The controller 100 can identify the position of the health care mirror and include the position with the report analysis to the central controller. The controller 100 may receive the location from a positioning device (e.g., global Positioning System (GPS)), the communication network 22 (e.g., IP address), or from a user input. The central controller may collate the data of the health condition according to the location. The central controller may identify a geographic area (e.g., neighborhood, town, etc.) that is experiencing a statistically significant health condition. The central controller may use a health event density, which may be measured in terms of events per unit area. The central controller may send an alert to the health glasses or other mobile devices within the determined geographic area. The central controller may receive zone data describing a zone representing the mirror.

The plurality of health glasses may be a group for a hospital, dormitory, or hotel. Each room in a building or campus of buildings may be indexed so that the sensor data received at the server is room by room. The controller 100 or server may identify the health condition in one room and report the health condition to other rooms. When a health condition occurs in one of the rooms (i.e., the user in the room), the other room's health glasses may display an alarm. In this way, occupants are alerted when a health condition occurs in the same building or group of buildings.

In one example, data analysis occurs primarily on network devices, which may be referred to as local analysis embodiments. In another example, data analysis occurs primarily on a server or another remote device, which may be referred to as a remote analysis embodiment. Hybrid embodiments may include a combination of data analysis on network devices and servers.

Sensor data may be aggregated from multiple health glasses to set a predetermined threshold for comparison. For example, when the sensor 10 is a thermometer, temperature values may be averaged to determine a temperature threshold. Different temperature thresholds may be used for different geographical areas. Different temperature thresholds may be used for different demographic groups. That is, different temperature thresholds may be calculated for female and male users. Different threshold temperatures may be calculated for users of different age groups.

The server may receive messages from the health mirror 101 and other data sources regarding the user's health characteristics, such as receiving health characteristics of other users from other health mirrors. As described in more detail below, the aggregated data from multiple users may be combined to provide a health assessment of a larger geographic area (e.g., neighborhood, town, or region).

The controller 100 may package or pre-process the data in a predetermined format and transmit the data to the server. The network device may filter the data according to type. Example types include audio data, image data, location data, biometric data, environmental data, or other types. For the image data, the controller 100 may analyze an image of at least a portion of the user. For location data, the network device may determine the user's location from proximity through analysis of the image (e.g., pattern matching or line detection) or through a distance-based sensor. For biometric data, the network device may collect temperature data (e.g., thermal signatures) from a temperature sensor or an infrared sensor, fingerprint data from a fingerprint sensor, or eye data from a retinal scanner. For environmental data, the network device may collect temperature, humidity, or other environmental messages.

In one example, the health condition may be selected by a user. For example, the user may request that a temperature log be saved to track the ovulation cycle. The controller 100 may monitor the temperature readings to determine when the temperature reaches a predetermined ovulation range. When a predetermined ovulation range occurs, the controller 100 generates a message from the scope 101 informing the user.

FIG. 1 shows an exemplary health care mirror 101 comprising a mirror substrate configured to provide imagery of an object including a user. The mirror substrate reflects substantially all light encountering the mirror substrate at the same angle that the light encounters the mirror substrate and/or substantially no light is absorbed or scattered. Substantially all light may refer to 90% light, 95% light, 99% light, or other proportions of light. Substantially no light may refer to 10% light, 1% light, or other proportions of light. The mirror substrate may be made of a polished material or transparent glass coated with a thin layer of reflective metal (e.g., silver or aluminum). The mirror interface 120 may include a Graphical User Interface (GUI), a user input interface, or a data collection interface (e.g., sensor 10) integrated with and/or adjacent to the mirror substrate.

As discussed in the embodiments below, the sensor 10 may include one or more sensors of various types. As described above, the sensor 10 may be a camera. The sensor 10 may comprise a thermometer. The sensor 10 may be a relative distance collection device such as a proximity sensor or a laser scanner. The laser scanner may emit one or more laser pulses that reflect off of the object and are received by the laser scanner. The time of flight of the laser pulse indicates the distance to the object. The proximity sensor may detect the presence of an object at a predetermined distance or within a predetermined range of distances. The proximity sensor may comprise a microwave or radar sensor. Examples of the preset distance may be 28 inches, 1 meter, or other distances. The range of the proximity sensor may be conical.

Fig. 2A and 2B illustrate the mirror frame or support housing 115 and the sensor module 121 of the health mirror 101. The cabinet inside the mirror frame may support the health mirror 101. The support housing 115 may include a sensor module supporting the sensor 10 and a control module housing 122 supporting a control module 123 including the controller 100 and one or more other components, such as a communication interface and input interface circuitry. The control module 123 may be shaped to match the control module housing 122 and/or fit inside the control module housing 122. The control module 123 may include a bottom control interface 130. Fig. 2A shows a wide support housing 115 and fig. 2B shows a narrow support housing 115. Fig. 2B also shows support feet 124 for holding control module 123 to support housing 115. Additional, different, or fewer components may be included.

The support housing 115 is configured to support a mirror substrate that provides imagery proximate to one or more users with a mirror cabinet. The sensor module 121 is a sensor cavity coupled to the mirror frame and is configured to support a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of one or more users approaching the mirrored cabinet. The sensor module 121 may be a cabinet inside the mirror frame, with the temperature sensor being housed in the cabinet.

Sensor module 121 may include one or more types of sensors that collect sensor data in embodiments described herein. Sensor data for the user is received at the health mirror 101, or specifically the control module 123, from the sensor module 121 or an external sensor.

Analysis of the sensor data may determine the instructions received at the mirror interface 120. The control module 123 may include a speaker configured to provide audio of the type of status data, setting data, configuration data of the user, or sensor data. The speaker may be movable. The control module 123 may interface with a positioning machine (e.g., a stepper motor or solenoid) to move the speaker toward the user. The degree of movement may depend on the task performed by the user, the identity of the user, the height of the user, the preferences of the user. The volume of the speaker may be settable. The control module 123 may set the volume of the speaker according to a task performed by the user, the identity of the user, the age of the user, the height of the user, and the preference of the user. For example, the volume may be set in proportion to age.

The control module 123 may include a microphone configured to collect audio (e.g., voice commands) for the user's setting data or configuration data. The microphone may be removable. The control module 123 may engage a positioning mechanism (e.g., a stepper motor or solenoid) to move the microphone toward the user. The degree of movement may depend on the task performed by the user, the identity of the user, the height of the user, the preferences of the user. The volume of the microphone may be configurable.

The control of the light (e.g., the light strip 103) may include the color of the light, the brightness of the light, the intensity of the light, or a schedule of the light. The controlling of the light guide plate may include determining an angle or position of the light according to a user's selection. For example, the voice command may instruct the light guide to illuminate the hand wash in response to the voice command. Selection of the collected data may enable or disable one or more sensors. The selection of display data may enable or disable display of external data (e.g., weather) or data received from the auxiliary device.

In one example, the control module 123 may include an inductive charging assembly including one or more inductive chargers. The inductive charger may include a coil of wire configured to generate a magnetic field to charge a battery of the mobile device. The mobile device may be placed on the control module 123 to charge the battery of the mobile device. Other wireless charging systems may be incorporated into the health care scope 101.

The capacitive light control 133, or any input to the control interface 130, may include a capacitive sensor that is responsive to touch. Adjacent to the control interface 130 may be one or more speakers 132, and an array of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), including a night light LED 134 and a home center communication indicator light 136.

Fig. 4 illustrates a cabinet including a panel 140 for the control module 123 of fig. 2A and 2B, according to an exemplary embodiment. The cabinet includes one or more storage spaces or compartments that may be coupled with the mirror interface 120. Additionally, the mirror interface 120 may be omitted. The panel 140 may include a universal serial bus or similar communication port 141, a microphone activated or muted light emitting diode 143, a query light emitting diode 145 (inquiry LED), and a proximity sensor 147.

The communication port 141 may be connected to a laptop computer or a smart phone for setting or configuring the control module 123. In one example, the configuration requires a hard-wired connection. The communication port 141 may be used as a charging port for a phone, razor, hair dryer, or other rechargeable appliance. The communication port 141 may communicate with additional or alternative lights, speakers, or microphones. The microphone activation or deactivation LED 143 is an indicator of when the microphone is in use.

Fig. 5 shows an exemplary control system 301 for the health mirror 101. The control system 301 may include a processor 300, memory 352, and a communication interface 353 for interfacing with a device or with the internet and/or other network 346. In addition to the communication interface 353, the sensor interface can be configured to receive data from the sensor 10 or data from any source for tracking a user in a bathroom near the health care scope 101.

The components of the control system 301 may communicate using a bus 348. The control system 301 may be connected to a workstation or another external device (e.g., a control panel) and/or database for receiving user input, system features, and any values described herein. Optionally, the control system 301 may include an input device 355 and/or sensing circuitry in communication with any sensor.

The actions of the flow chart may be performed by any combination of the controller 100, a network device, or a server. Portions of one or more actions may be performed by a device. Additional, different, fewer acts may be included.

In act S101, the controller 100 determines (e.g., by the processor 300) a user identity of a user associated with the mirror. The user identity may be determined by user input. For example, the health care mirror 101 may be configured by a user. The user may enter a registration or login name indicating the identity of the user. The controller 100 may assume that the registered user is associated with the collected sensor data. Alternatively, the user may enter the user identity into the health care mirror 101 for a predetermined period of time. The user identity may be entered daily or at other time periods. The health care mirror 101 may prompt the user to enter the user identity.

The user identity may be determined by analyzing the sensor data. For example, the controller 100 may perform facial recognition, thermal characterization, fingerprint analysis, or another technique on the sensor data. The processor 300 may include circuits, modules or application specific controllers as a means of identifying a user.

In act S103, the controller 100 receives temperature data collected at the temperature sensor of the health care mirror 101 (e.g., via the communication interface 353). The temperature data may be collected over a predetermined time interval. Temperature data may be collected in response to receiving a user identity. Communication interface 353 is a means for receiving temperature data.

In act S105, the controller 100 analyzes the sensor data (e.g., by the processor 300). In one example, the temperature data is compared to a threshold. In other examples, the temperature data is analyzed over time to determine trends. The trend may be an absolute change per unit time or a predetermined period of time. The processor 300 may include circuits, modules, or application specific controllers as a means of analyzing sensor data from the temperature sensors.

In act S107, the controller 100 (e.g., via the processor 300) generates information based on the analysis of the temperature data. The information may be an alarm displayed on the health care mirror 101. A portion of the mirror substrate may be covered by a liquid crystal display, or the display may be otherwise integrated with a mirror configured to provide results of analyzing data to a user of the healthcare mirror 101. Alternatively, a separate display may be mounted on or near the health mirror 101.

The alert may be sent to the mobile device for display. The alert may be sent to a central location. Processor 300 may include circuits, modules, or application specific controllers as a means for generating information based on temperature data.

Fig. 7 shows an exemplary internal sensor of the health care scope 101. A sensor cavity 150 (e.g., a camera module) is mounted on the mirror frame. The sensor cavity 150 is a cabinet inside the mirror housing in which the sensors and/or cameras 151 are located. The camera 151 is configured to collect images of one or more users in the vicinity of the health care scope 101. The sensor cavity 150 may be formed of plastic or metal. The sensor cavity 150 may be coupled to one of the mirror's internal shelves 149. The sensor cavity 150 may include other types of sensors in addition to or in place of a camera. Further, the sensor cavity 150 may include the controller 100 and may also be considered another example of a control module.

In one example, the viewing angle of the camera may be selectively closed or opened by the door 152 of the mirror casing. When the door 152 is opened, the camera has an unobstructed path to collect images of the user. Alternatively, when the sensor cavity 150 includes a temperature sensor, the space between the temperature sensor and the user is selectively closed or opened by the door 152.

Fig. 8 illustrates an exemplary retractable cover plate 153 for a sensor or camera configured to cover an aperture to selectively block the sensor cavity 150. Fig. 9 illustrates an exemplary cover switch 154 for the retractable cover 153. Fig. 10 shows a top view of the cover switch 154 for the retractable cover 153.

The retractable cover 153 is coupled to the cover switch 154 within the sensor cavity 150 via an actuation structure that translates movement of the cover switch 154 in a first direction into movement of the retractable cover 153 in a second direction. The first direction may be perpendicular to the second direction. When the switch 154 is pressed, the retractable cover 153 slides to open the field of view of the camera or the sensing path of another sensor.

When the switch 154 is released (i.e., not depressed), the retractable cover 153 slides to close the field of view of the camera or the sensing path of another sensor. The cover switch 154 is actuated in response to operation of the door 152. Within the sensor cavity 150, the cover switch 154 may be coupled with a spring that provides a force on the switch 154 that biases the switch 154 away from the camera cavity 150 and/or toward the door 152. That is, when the door 152 is opened, the spring biases the switch 154 outward, and when the door 152 is closed, the door 152 is pressed against the switch 154 to close the switch and the retractable cover 153.

In another embodiment, a cover spring is coupled with the retractable cover 153 to bias the retractable cover 153 in a biased direction (i.e., open or closed). In one example, a cover spring biases retractable cover 153 open and against a piston connected to switch 154. That is, the retractable cover 153 is pushed open by the spring, but the retractable cover 153 cannot be opened when the piston blocks the path of the retractable cover 153. When the switch 154 is depressed, the piston opens the passage of the retractable cover 153 and allows the retractable cover 153 to open.

In one example, the door 152 may include a cam surface 155 coupled to the mirror frame. The cam surface 155 is configured to actuate the piston when the mirrored cabinet door 152 is opened or closed.

FIG. 11 shows an example flow diagram for processing images collected by the health care scope 101. The actions of the flow chart may be performed by any combination of the controller 100, a network device, or a server. One or more of the action portions may be performed by a device. Additional, different, fewer acts may be included.

In act S201, the camera 151 captures a time series of images of one or more users in the vicinity of the mirror cabinet. The time series images are images collected by the camera 151 at different times. Each image may be associated with a timestamp. The controller 100 analyzes the image to identify health features. The health characteristic is indicative of a health condition of the user. The health characteristics may be related to the appearance of the user, such as the appearance or condition of the user's skin, eyes, nose, or other body parts. The health characteristic may relate to a shape or size of a body part of the user. Various health features detected by camera 151 are described in other examples herein. The camera 151 is a means for capturing time series images of one or more users near the cabinet.

In act S203, the controller 100 determines the user identity of one or more users in the vicinity of the mirrored cabinet. The user identification may be determined from an analysis of one or more time series images described in the algorithms of fig. 28-30.

The processor 300 may include a circuit, module, or application specific controller as a means of analyzing sensor data from the first device to determine the identity of the user.

In act S205, the controller 100 (e.g., via the processor 300) analyzes the sensor data by performing one or more image processing techniques on the time-series images. The image processing techniques may include pattern matching, feature transform comparison, invariant feature detection, edge detection, or blob detection. The image processing techniques identify health characteristics of one or more users of the health care mirror 101.

The processor 300 may include circuitry, modules or application specific controllers as a means of analyzing the time series of images to obtain health characteristics of one or more users.

The health features may include different features from different images in different time or time series of images. The controller 100 (e.g., via the processor 300) is configured to perform a comparison between the first health characteristic and the second health characteristic. The comparison may be part of an image processing technique. That is, the components of the images may be compared to determine whether the color has changed, whether the body part has changed in size, or other graphical differences. The comparison may compare the determined health characteristics.

The processor 300 may include a circuit, module, or application specific controller as a means to perform a comparison between the first health characteristic and the second health characteristic.

In act S207, the controller 100 generates information (e.g., by the processor 300) in response to the analysis. This information may be displayed on the health care mirror 101 or on a mobile device associated with the health care mirror 101.

As discussed in other embodiments herein, various information may be presented to a user. The information may describe a health condition. This information may provide an indication that medical attention is sought and/or provide a description of the health condition for relay to a medical professional. The information may provide an indication of the therapeutic health condition.

As discussed in other embodiments herein, various information may be sent to a device external to the scope 101. For example, certain health conditions may be reported to a nearby hospital or medical professional. The health condition may be reported to a central server. The server may aggregate health messages from multiple health glasses 101 in order to draw conclusions associated with a geographic area. For example, the server may identify an epidemic or pandemic from the health messages received from the plurality of health glasses 101.

This information may be sent to a memory (e.g., memory 352) to store the health characteristics with the user's health profile. The health characteristics may be stored in association with the determined user identity.

The adjustable sensor assembly may include a sensor 165, the sensor 165 being attached to the health care mirror 101 by at least one pivoting member 166 and at least one extending member. The extension member may be a fixed length arm 168 or an adjustable arm 167.

As shown in fig. 13, the arm 168 supports the sensor 165 and is rotatable about the pivot member 166. The user may rotate arm 168 and sensor 165 to position sensor 165 in a desired rotational position. In addition, an adjustable arm 167 extends between the two pivoting members. The user can extend the adjustable arm 167 to position the sensor at a desired height or distance from the scope 101.

As shown in FIG. 13, the adjustable sensor assembly may be folded into a space or cavity 169. For example, adjustable arm 167 may be adjusted downward, and arm 167 may be rotated to be parallel with adjustable arm 167. In this manner, the adjustable sensor assembly is made compact (e.g., folded up) to accommodate the cavity 169.

Fig. 14 shows an exemplary door-mounted sensor of the health care scope 101. The door mounted sensor may include a pivotable support 171 mounted on the door 152 of the mirror housing.

Image data may be collected by a charge coupled device, an infrared camera, a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) device, a radar device, or other device.

In act S503, the controller 100 analyzes the image data (e.g., by the processor 300) to obtain one or more characteristics of the user in the image data. In act S505, the controller 100 (e.g., by the processor 300) compares the feature to one or more templates. In act S507, the controller 100 (e.g., via the processor 300) provides a diagnosis (e.g., information) to the user based on the at least one matched template. The comparison may be a diagnosis of the health condition of the one or more users based on the comparison between the first health characteristic and the second health characteristic. The controller 100 is configured to track growth or height of one or more users based on a comparison between the first health characteristic and the second health characteristic.

According to the following embodiments, actions S503 to S507 are described in alternative examples. With actions S503 to S507, the scope 101 is a health center for collecting and storing all health data. The health mirror 101 combines other accurate health messages with tracking by the health mirror 101 and produces diagnostic analysis of the disease (resting heart rate increase combined with body temperature elevation), and a combination of fitness plans, virtual physician appointments, cosmetology, and sculpting recommendations that can be implemented. The health care scope 101 may provide instructions to the user, including any of these messages and/or diagnostic messages.

Fig. 33A illustrates an exemplary data collection for hair styling using a health mirror 101. The controller 100 analyzes the image of the hairstyle and compares the analyzed image to one or more templates. When the haircut or shave is overdue, the controller 100 may compare the image to the matching template. The controller provides an informational alert to the user reminding the user to shave a beard, cut hair, comb eyebrows, bleach the upper lip, or other type of hair growth. When the rendering is overdue, the controller 100 may compare the image with the matched template. This information may connect the user to a hair salon or similar service. The controller 100 may compare the image with a template of hair styling and notify the user when the user's hair style does not conform to the style.

In another example, the controller 100 may match the image of the user with makeup base, makeup pattern, or makeup color and provide a suggestion in the diagnostic information.

In another example, the controller 100 may generate one or more messages in response to template matching to obtain more messages for diagnosis. Example questions may include "do you look pale-do you get good? "," do your eyes look wrong, please get you closer and get better? "," I notice a rash- -you should go to check. Do you want me to arrange an appointment for you? "or" your skin appears dry-i suggest the use of the following cream ".

Fig. 33B illustrates an exemplary data collection for injury detection using the scope 101. The controller 100 analyzes the image of the user to recognize the characteristics of the user. The controller 100 compares these characteristics to one or more templates corresponding to swelling, bruising, toothache, acne, allergic reactions, bleeding, or other conditions visible to the user's face. The controller determines whether one of these templates matches the image and, in the case of a match, reports the corresponding to the scope 101 or the central server.

Fig. 33C shows an exemplary data collection for body analysis using the scope 101. The controller 100 analyzes the image of the user to identify characteristics of the user. The controller 100 may compare images of the same area of the body taken over time to track the appearance over time. Example conditions that change over time may include skin that changes over time, which may be related to health conditions (e.g., moles that change color, skin movement of breathing/breathing rate, blood vessel movement behind the skin, high precision breathing rate that considers images of the entire body or upper body using machine learning algorithms, and/or acne and bloating related to menstruation or hormonal changes). The controller 100 compares these features to one or more templates corresponding to identifying skin tone, skin texture, bruising, swelling, cuts, scratches, other injuries, and sunburn. When any of these conditions match the image, the controller 100 may generate an informational alert to the user, or alert a central server or a provided healthcare service. One example information is that potential physical abuse may be reported to local law enforcement devices. An example information to the user is that "how the sun looks at you" may be displayed indicating areas of the body that are not protected by sunscreen.

Fig. 33D illustrates exemplary data collection for dental and/or vision analysis using the health mirror 101. The controller 100 analyzes the image of the user to recognize the characteristics of the user. The controller 100 compares the features to one or more templates corresponding to dental conditions such as caries, depressed gums, plaque, vision conditions related to eye movement such as concussion, dementia, autism, or vision tests for prescription of glasses, macular tests, magnification, or fitting of glasses. The health care glasses 101 may be configured to display a glasses image on the user's imagery for virtual glasses fitting.

Fig. 34A and 34B illustrate exemplary data collection for body size or growth analysis. The controller 100 analyzes the image of the user to recognize the characteristics of the user. The controller 100 compares these features to one or more templates corresponding to body size scans/detections to assist in achieving body size goals and growth tracking. The controller 100 is configured to track the body shape and size of the one or more users based on the comparison of the first health characteristic to the second health characteristic.

As shown in 34A, an estimated image 405 of the user may be displayed as a result of a body scan using the sensor 10 of the health care scope 101. In one example, a change in shape or other body feature is determined by a comparison of the first body image 405 and the second body image 406. The controller 100 can measure differences in body structure, height and weight. In addition, one of the external sensors connected to the scope 101 may also include an external scale for the user to stand on and provide weight/mass data to the scope 101.

Similar concepts may also be applied to pregnancy. The controller 100 compares the image of the body with one or more templates to calculate a measure of uterine height, which is recorded as time-stamped. The controller 100 calculates the number of weeks of pregnancy. For example, the number of gestational weeks may be equal to (current date- (edd-40 weeks)). If the number of gestational weeks > = 20 weeks or more, the target height of the uterus is equal to the number of weeks in centimeters (the height of the uterus at 20 weeks should be 20 centimeters). If the uterine height is +/-2.1 centimeters compared to the predicted value of uterine height, the controller 100 may generate an alarm or warning. The information may indicate that the growth of the infant may be abnormal. This information may automatically contact the registered doctor. If the measurements show compliance with average growth, the controller 100 may issue a message including encouragement.

Fig. 34C shows a contrast of the contour of the body shape 407. The controller 100 may generate a difference in body shape 407 by a comparison of the first body image 405 and the second body image 406. Can be used for tracking the growth of weight-loss plan, body-building training plan, infant or children. The controller 100 may provide target settings for the body structure. The controller 100 may provide predictive analysis of the trend by comparison of the first body image 405 with the second body image 406 to create an image of a person in the future from the current trend.

Fig. 34D shows an exemplary data collection for garment distribution 408 using the health mirror 101. The controller 100 may analyze images collected by the camera or other sensor 10. The controller 100 may access a garment database that is rated by one or more attributes. The garments may be garments in a wardrobe of a local user. The garment may be a garment for shipping or a garment available in a store. The controller 100 determines one or more characteristics of the user and responsively selects a garment.

Fig. 35 illustrates an exemplary data collection for a stature type (female 409) analysis using the scope 101. Fig. 36 shows another exemplary data collection for type of stature (male 413) analysis using the scope 101. The controller 100 may analyze the image to identify the physical attribute 408. The body attributes 408 include shoulder width, chest width, waist width, and hip width. The controller uses the body attributes to access a body type database 411 to determine the user's stature type. At least one stature type is selected, and the best clothing suitable for the selected stature type is selected from the clothing database.

The controller 100 may display one or more outputs during the stature analysis and the garment distribution. Fig. 37A shows a description of the calculated body style 421 of the user. Fig. 37B shows a recommendation 422 as to what to wear. The recommendation may include an image of the garment, a link to the garment, or an identification number of the garment. Fig. 37C shows a recommendation 423 regarding what to don. The recommendation may include an image of the garment, a link to the garment, or an identification number of the garment.

FIG. 38A shows an exemplary sterilization case 420 coupled to the health care scope 101. FIG. 39 illustrates an exemplary sterilization case 420 inside the health care scope 101. Sterilization chamber 420 may be sterilized and/or disinfected. The term germicidal refers to a process of eliminating or killing a living organism or an approaching living organism, which may include microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spores or unicellular eukaryotes. The term disinfecting may include sterilization and/or other processes to remove contaminants or disinfect objects or surfaces with the purpose of eliminating or killing living or near living objects. The term disinfection may include the process of deploying a chemical agent or radiation with the purpose of eliminating bacteria and/or viruses or other microorganisms. Alternatively, sterilization chamber 420 may include a heater to heat the contents to a sufficiently high temperature to eliminate or kill the living being. One example is an autoclave. In addition, the sterilization case 420 may include air filters (e.g., high Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) and Ultraviolet (UV) air filtration systems) to clean and sterilize air that may carry viruses, mold, or other microorganisms.

The sterilization case 420 includes a sterilization device 425 coupled to the mirror frame. The disinfecting device 425 may be in communication with a controller that issues instructions to the disinfecting device 425. The disinfecting device 425 is configured to disinfect a space associated with the mirror frame, which may be within the disinfection cabinet 420 or within a chamber of the health mirror 101.

The disinfecting device 425 may include a dispenser or nebulizer that emits a disinfectant or chemical agent in a cloud or mist into the disinfecting chamber 420 or chamber of the health care scope 101 in response to an activation command from a controller of the disinfecting device 425. The disinfecting device 425 may emit disinfecting radiation (e.g., ultraviolet light) in the disinfecting chamber 420 or the chamber of the health mirror 101 in response to an activation command issued by a controller of the disinfecting device 425.

In some examples, the items are placed within a sterilization case 420, wherein the sterilization device 420 performs sterilization of the items. Example items to be sterilized in sterilization case 420 may include personal items used in a bathroom, such as toothbrushes, combs, dental floss, hair dryers, hair curlers, or others. Example items to be sterilized in sterilization case 420 may include personal electronic devices, such as phones, other mobile devices, or wearable devices. Example items to be sterilized in sterilization case 420 may include jewelry, glasses, or watches. Example items to be sterilized in sterilization chamber 420 may include Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as a face mask, a facial shield, or gloves. Example items to be sterilized in sterilization chamber 420 may include devices that include sensors 10, such as thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, or sample containers. Sterilization case 420 may include a sensor to detect whether items are placed within sterilization case 420. In this way, the sterilization process can only be run if there are items present that need to be sterilized. The sensor may include a mechanical sensor activated by the weight of the item, an optical sensor or other sensor that produces a beam of light that is blocked by the item. In one example, the wireless communication established with the health care scope 101 indicates the presence of an item. In other examples, the sterilization process may be run regardless of whether or not an item is present.

Referring to fig. 38B, the body 751 of the sprayer includes a housing. The housing includes a front housing 756 and a rear housing 757 that are respectively formed and coupled together to capture other elements of the dispenser in a cavity defined by the housing. Alternatively, front housing 756 and rear housing 757 may be integrally formed as a single element. Rear enclosure 757 includes a substantially circular end and a substantially cylindrical wall extending away from the end. The end includes an inlet opening 758 configured to receive a supply of fluid (e.g., water, cleaning compound, etc.) into the dispenser 750. As shown, the inlet opening 758 is substantially concentric with the longitudinal axis and is configured to receive the liquid supply channel 759. The front housing 756 includes a generally circular end that includes an outlet opening 760 and a generally cylindrical wall that extends away from the end. Each wall may include a distal end configured to be proximate a distal end of the other wall when the housings are coupled together. A first O-ring 761 may be disposed between the walls of front housing 756 and rear housing 757 to help seal the cavity (e.g., prevent liquid ingress). For example, each wall of the front and rear housings may include a groove configured to receive a portion of the first O-ring seal 761.

The neck 752 of the dispenser extends from the outlet opening 760 at the end of the front housing 756. The neck 752 may have a frustoconical shape as shown in fig. 38B, a cylindrical shape, or any other suitable shape. The neck 752 is configured to have a relatively large aspect ratio, where aspect ratio is the ratio of its length (along the longitudinal axis) to its width (e.g., diameter). For a frustoconical neck, its diameter may be considered its average diameter, as it will vary along the length. A hole 762 extends through the neck 752 to deliver fluid to the head 753. The neck 752 may extend into the cavity of the housing and out an inlet opening 758 in the rear housing 757 such that the inlet of the bore serves as a liquid supply channel 759 for receiving fluid from a fluid source. The neck can further include a shoulder 763 configured to seat in the outlet opening 760 of the front enclosure 757. The second O-ring 764 may be disposed between the neck 752 (e.g., shoulder 763) and the front housing 756 (e.g., the inner surface defining the end of the outlet opening 760).

The head 753 of the dispenser 750 includes an atomizing surface 765 configured to dispense atomized particles of the fluid into the air in an aerosol. As shown in fig. 38B, the head 753 has a generally pyramidal shape that tapers in size from a base disposed on the distal end of the neck 752 to a tip that is the outermost end of the dispenser 750. The head 753 may have a hemispherical shape. The head 753 includes a bore that is an extension of the bore 762 in the neck 752 for dispensing fluid from the nozzle in the head 753.

As further shown in fig. 38B, the dispenser includes an active electrode 767, a ground electrode 768, and at least one piezo 769 (e.g., two piezo 769 sandwiching the active electrode 767). Each piezoelectric crystal 769 can have a generally annular shape with a portion of the liquid supply channel 759 passing through an opening (e.g., a central opening) in the piezoelectric crystal 769. The active electrode 767 can have a generally annular shape with a portion of the liquid supply channel 759 passing through an opening (e.g., a central opening) in the active electrode 767. The piezoelectric crystal 769 and the electrodes may be disposed between a back horn 770 and a shoulder 763 of the neck 752, the back horn 770 may be a generally annular titanium component. The ground electrode 768 extends between an inner surface of a housing (e.g., the front housing 756, the rear housing, or at least a portion of both the front and rear housings) and an outer surface of the active electrode 767 and each piezoelectric crystal 769.

Also shown in fig. 38B, the dispenser includes a connector 771. For example, the connector 771 may be an electrical connector for providing electrical connection to the broadband ultrasonic generator. The connector 771 is electrically connected to the active electrode 767 and/or each piezoelectric crystal 769 so that an electrical signal received from the broadband ultrasonic generator is transferred to the active electrode 767 and/or each piezoelectric crystal 769.

During operation, as fluid passes through the liquid supply channel 759, the dispenser 750 atomizes the fluid by an electrical signal received via the connector 771. An atomized fluid, such as a mist having a generally parabolic cross-sectional shape, is dispensed from the head 753 away from the body 751.

Referring to FIG. 39, the sterilization case 420 located inside the health care scope 101 may be connected to a switch 426 that operates a sterilization device 425. The switch 426 may be actuated by a user (e.g., pressing a button) to turn on the sterilizing device 425. Switch 426 may be actuated by door 152. That is, when the door 152 is closed, the door 152 presses the switch 426 to turn on the sterilizing apparatus 425. Alternatively, the disinfecting device 425 can be activated and controlled with a control interface of the mobile device or the health care mirror 101.

In another alternative, the sterilization case 420 is omitted and the sterilization device 425 is mounted to the interior of the health care scope 101. Thus, the radiation or disinfectant released by the disinfecting device 425 fills the cavity of the scope 101 itself.

In another embodiment, the sanitizing device 425 may include a water heater included in the sanitizing device 425. The water heater is configured to heat water in response to an activation command from the sanitizing device 425. The water may be heated to a temperature high enough to kill bacteria and/or viruses. The temperature of the water may be limited to protect the rubber seals and other components. The disinfecting device 425 may heat the water provided to the faucet. Thus, the user may select to prepare a disinfection bath in the water tank 431. The user may place any of the items described herein in the sanitizing bath of the sink 431.

The controller may generate alarm information indicative of the operation of the water heater. This message may alert the user that the water from the faucet is too hot for proper use. The information may inform the user not to wash hands, brush teeth, etc. This information may display the temperature of the water. The information may indicate that the user is to remain a particular distance from the scope 101 or sink 431.

FIG. 40 illustrates an exemplary flow chart for operating sterilization case 420, and may be adapted for either the inner sterilization case embodiment or the outer sterilization case embodiment. Additional, different, or fewer acts may be included. The disinfecting device 425 can include a controller (e.g., including one or more components of fig. 5) configured to generate commands for the disinfecting device 425 in accordance with one or more signals or instructions. The sterilization case 420 may include a display configured to provide operational information of the sterilization device 425 and status information indicating one or more of the following actions.

In action S601, the sterilizing device 425 receives a sterilization preparation signal of the sterilizing device. The sterilization preparation signal may be based on sensor data that detects the presence of items in sterilization case 420. Thus, when the sensor detects an item in sterilization case 420, a sterilization preparation signal is generated. Alternatively, the sterilization preparation signal may be generated in response to a lock or closure mechanism when sterilization case 420 is closed. For example, the latch may include three positions, such as "open", "closed", and "ready", wherein the ready position causes the sanitizing device 425 to generate a sanitizing ready signal.

In action S603, the sterilizing device 425 receives an activation signal at the sterilizing device. The activation signal may be generated according to user settings. For example, the disinfection device 425 may be set to operate at a particular time of day. The user may set the disinfection device 425 to disinfect at night (e.g., at 3 am) or at some other specific time of day, day of week, day of month. In addition, the sterilization may be triggered by an external event. The external event may be information received from an external device describing whether a virus outbreak is occurring in a geographic area that includes the health care scope 101. The external event may be information describing government regulations or regulations relating to disinfection. The activation signal may be generated on a used input (e.g. now disinfection button). When the door 152 is closed, the activation signal may be triggered by the switch 426.

In act S605, the sterilizing device 425 is activated in response to the activation signal and the sterilization preparation signal. That is, only when the sterilizing device 425 is regarded as ready to operate by the sterilization preparation signal and receives an operation instruction from the user through the activation signal, the sterilizing device 425 is opened to release the sterilizing agent or the radiation. Activating the sterilizing device 425 includes releasing a sterilizing gas and/or emitting radiation in the sterilization chamber 420.

In act S607, after a predetermined period of time, the sterilizing device 425 automatically stops the process of act S505 or deactivates the sterilizing device 425. The predetermined period of time may be set by the user or selected according to the type of sterilization. For example, the release of gas may be performed for a first period of time (e.g., 1 minute), and the emission of ultraviolet radiation may be performed for a second period of time (e.g., 10 minutes).

Fig. 41 illustrates an exemplary sterile fog or mist 430 emanating from the health care scope 101. In this example, the disinfecting device 425 includes a nebulizer 432. The atomizer 432 may be located inside the health care scope 101 or outside the health care scope 101. The health mirror 101 may include one or more vents to allow mist to escape from the health mirror 101. The nebulizer 432 is configured to generate a disinfecting mist that is expelled into a cavity inside the health care scope 101, or into the environment of the health care scope 101.

The sterilization mist is carried by the air curtain. One or more nozzles coupled to the health care scope 101 may define the direction and size of the air curtain. The nozzles may be rotated, left to right, front to back, or vice versa, by the controller of the sterilizing device 425. The sterilizing mist may include at least a predetermined proportion of alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or other sterilizing liquid. In addition, the nebulizer 432 may discharge essential oils, vapors, or medicines inside the health lens 101 or outside the health lens 101.

FIG. 42 illustrates exemplary disinfecting light emitted from the scope 101. In this example, the disinfecting device 425 includes a light 440. The light 440 may be located inside the health care scope 101 or outside the health care scope 101. The lamp 440 is configured to generate disinfecting light that is expelled into a cavity inside the health care scope 101, or into the environment of the health care scope 101. The sterilizing light may be defined as light having a predetermined wavelength, such as 400 nm to 405 nm. Disinfecting light may be defined as light that kills or eliminates unicellular organisms (e.g., bacteria or viruses).

FIG. 43 illustrates an exemplary control algorithm for discharging the sanitizing material. Additional, different, or fewer acts may be included. The disinfecting device 425 can include a controller (e.g., including one or more components of fig. 5) configured to generate commands for the disinfecting device 425 based on one or more signals or instructions. The sterilization case 420 may include a display configured to provide operational information of the sterilization device 425 and status information indicating one or more of the following actions.

In act S701, the controller identifies a disinfection event (e.g., by processor 300). The sterilization event may be a sensed condition. The disinfection event may be the detection of a virus or bacteria. The disinfection event may occur according to the time or date of the user.

In act S703, the controller activates (e.g., via processor 300) the disinfection device associated with the mirrored cabinet. In act S705, the controller (e.g., by processor 300) generates a control signal to release disinfectant from the disinfecting device. The control signal may cause the nebulizer or dispenser to discharge a sterile mist from the mirrored cabinet. The control signal may cause a Light Emitting Diode (LED) or other lamp to generate and radiate ultraviolet light from the mirrored cabinet.

FIG. 44 illustrates an exemplary wireless power distribution system for the health care scope 101. The health care scope 101 may include a wireless power distributor configured to transmit signals from the health care scope 101 to a device having a battery to charge the battery. The device may be a bathroom peripheral device 451 such as a shaver or an electric toothbrush.

The signal may be a radio frequency signal generated and transmitted by radio 450. The radio signal may have a predetermined power level and a predetermined frequency that are compatible with the particular device. The signal may be charging light generated and transmitted by the lamp 440. The charging light may be directed to selected bathroom peripherals 451, which have photovoltaic cells electrically connected to the battery.

FIG. 45 illustrates another example wireless power distribution system. In this case, charging transmitter 800 sends charging signal 810 to one or more bathroom appliances and/or mobile devices 811 (e.g., tablet, cell phone, or the like). The charging signal may be a Radio Frequency (RF) signal or an optical signal configured to wirelessly charge the battery. The bathroom appliances may include a health mirror 101, a shower head 2, a bath spray 3, a light or sound bath treatment device 4, a bath faucet 5, a toilet 6, a toilet seat or bowl 7, a sink faucet 8, or other devices.

Fig. 46 shows an exemplary hand washing guide 550. Controller 100 may access a sequence of hand washing guidelines 550 (e.g., a hand washing sequence) in response to a user's request or in response to turning on water. As shown in fig. 46, hand washing guide 550 may be displayed all at once. Alternatively, individual steps or subsets of steps may be displayed by the controller 100 in response to a user gesture or action. That is, the camera may capture an image of the user executing hand washing guide 550. For each step, the controller 100 determines from the analysis of the captured image whether the user has completed the step. In response to detecting the completion of this step, the controller 100 and display proceed to the next step.

The display of the health preserving mirror 101 may also prompt the user when to wash their hands. For example, if the user has flushed the toilet, if the user has been outdoors, or if a predetermined time has elapsed. The health mirror 101 may also provide a timer or hand wash music that tells the user how long to wash the hands. The health care mirror 101 may provide other reminders, such as an informational indication to clean a mirror or counter surface based on the amount of time or other interval since the last cleaning.

Fig. 47 and 48 show examples in which data from multiple users and/or from multiple health glasses 101 is aggregated. Referring back to FIG. 1, data may be collected at the health mirror 101 and received at one of the other health mirrors 101 or a server connected to the network 22. The aggregated analysis may be performed locally by the controller 100 or remotely by a server.

FIG. 47 illustrates an exemplary health status 900 display of the health mirror 101. The health status 900 may be displayed at a particular time or at all times, or displayed by a single health mirror 101 or all health mirrors 101 in a home (home health status) or another organization such as a hotel, hospital, dormitory, office building, or other (organization health status). The health status 900 includes a graphical representation of each member of the family, as well as indicators (e.g., color, shading, numbers) that reflect the user's health characteristics, although other graphics may be used. For example, if a member of the family (or a resident in a dormitory, hotel, hospital, etc.) is detected by the scope 101 as having a certain health characteristic, a home health status 900 is displayed. In this example, the health characteristic is temperature, and high temperatures above a threshold may be indicated by a first indicator, and normal or below threshold temperatures may be indicated by a second indicator. Different thresholds may be used for different individuals or different ages or sexes. Other health features may be applied to the home health status 900. For larger organizations, the health condition 900 may represent statistics such as the number of tissue members that are hyperthermic, the number of tissue members diagnosed with a particular disease (e.g., COVID-19).

FIG. 48 illustrates an exemplary geographic area status display 500 for the health mirror 101. The data of the geographic area status display 500 may represent the health of various users within the geographic area. Different colors, patterns or shading may be used to reflect the various areas of different health conditions detected by the user's health mirror 101. The geographic region status display 500 may reflect high fever of the region. The geographic region status display 500 may reflect a particular disease, such as cancer. The controller 100 may analyze what the geographic area status display 500 may reflect to determine future trends in which the health condition may expand or move. The controller 100 may time stamp and store a version of the geographic area status display 500 as it changes over time.

In response to the data of the geographical area status display 500, the controller 100 or the server may generate an alert to one or more users, an alert to at least one other user, a geographical analysis of the geographical area including the mirrored shelves, or a report to a health care provider.

FIG. 49 illustrates an exemplary memory-assisted display 910 of the scope 101. The health care scope 101 may perform a sequence of memory points for the user to help the user remember various aspects of the user's life. The sequence of memory points may be performed for a user with memory loss or dementia. The sequence of memory points may select one or more pictures from a personal picture database of the user or other predetermined pictures accessed for the user to stimulate the user's memory.

These pictures may include the user's family, pet, spouse, parent, child. The memory-assisted display 910 may include a first memory point scene 911 and a second memory point scene 912. In one example, a memory comparison of the first memory scene 911 and the second memory scene 912 may show the user or the family of the user at different ages or time periods. The user may remember older pictures but not newer pictures, and the memory assistance display 910 helps the user to relate the current time (which may be unfamiliar) to familiar times. The memory-assisted display 910 may include and display photographs of the user prior to, e.g., the day before. The memory-assisted display 910 may be presented at a short (e.g., 30 seconds or 1 minute) interval at the beginning of the day or when the user is first detected on a given day.

The health-care scope 101 may perform a memory diagnostic test and activate the memory-assisted display 910 in response to the memory diagnostic test. The memory diagnostic test may include prompting the user to identify certain persons or places. Pictures of memory diagnostic tests may be obtained from a personal picture database of the user. In one example, the memory diagnostic test presents at least one picture from a user's personal picture database and at least one picture from an inventory pictures database. The user is prompted to select a familiar picture. If the user fails to correctly recognize the familiar picture after one or more trials, the scope 101 activates the memory-assist display 910 to help improve the user's memory.

FIG. 50 shows a flow chart for displaying user instructions through the health mirror 101. The instructions may include information, images, or other messages. The instructions may be provided in video by a display (e.g., a video display). The actions of the flow chart may be performed by any combination of the controller 100, a network device, or a server.
