- the actuators may be mobile mechanical parts that could be moved in the air flow to modify its shape.
- the hair dryer may further include a proximity sensor 118 preferably disposed near the outlet 112 of the hair dryer.
- the proximity sensor may be an optical sensor, such as an infrared sensor, which is understood in the art. However other examples may be employed as well, such as a capacitive, ultrasonic, or Doppler sensors.
- the hair dryer device 110 is configured to vary at least one setting at the hair dryer based on the received sensed characteristic. In an embodiment, the hair dryer device 110 is configured to dynamically modulate at least one setting at the hair diver based on the received sensed characteristic.
- the brush device may further include its own PCB 180 that includes
- a wireless RF communication interface for performing wireless communication with an external device (such as hair dryer 150).
- the PCB may further hold a motion detector, such as an accelerator/gyrometer.
- the brush device also may include a hair humidity sensor and a temperature sensor. Hair and humidity sensors are known and understood in the art.
- a wireless machine-to-machine feedback loop between the brash device 150 and the hair diver 1 10, facilitated by communication between the wireless RF communication interface embedded in each device.
- the brush can sense the temperature when the hair dryer is operational and the humidity level of the user's hair and provide such feedback to the hair dryer. Based on this information, the hair dryer may adjust the temperature and/or the shape and/or speed of the air flow, by for example, adjusting the resistance of the heating element in the hair dryer, adjusting the fan speed, and/or adjusting the shape of the mechanical elements which control the air flow shape.

- the system is broadly depicted as including a sensing component 201, a 3D
- Fig. 3 shows an overview of the sensing component 201 according to the above system 200.

- the sensor may also be an optical sensor for detecting damage to the hair up close, or even an audio sensor for detecting a condition of the hair based sound when the brush is applied.
- the sensor may be a proximity sensor, such as an infrared cell or ultrasonic sensor.
- the proximity sensor is used to measure the distance between the device/sensor and execute the appropriate action. For example, a hair dryer should not blow too warm hair when the user’s head is too close to the hair dryer exhaust.

- the spatial difference can again be determined from the initial position (or alternatively from the second position).
- the initial position 401 of the styling tool 301 is a predetermined position above the top of the head while the brush is held straight.
- the predetermine position 401 is not limited to the one shown in Fig. 4 and any

- one or more conditions are detected (such as humidity, temperature, hair damage) by a sensor on the styling tool.
- the location detector described above which detects the approximate spatial position/location of the styling tool, and more specifically, the spatial position of the sensor, starts the detecting the location.
- the sensor and the location detector continue to operate in parallel, recording their respective detected data in association with the same synchronized time data.
- the sensor and location data stop their operations at the same synchronized timing in response to a“stop” input provided by the user.

- the system receives and stores sensed condition data received from the styling tool 301.
- the system receives and stores detected location data, which may be provided by either the styling tool 301 or a sensor 302 as described above.
- the system analyzes and extracts areas of interest (such as hair damage) and associated time stamps based on sensed condition data. This step will be different based on the type of sensor that is involved. For instance, in detecting damaged hair, a moisture sensor reading that detects an above threshold of dryness in the hair may trigger an extraction of an area of interest.
- an image recognition of split ends may trigger an extraction of an area of interest.
- the area of interest may be a location where a sound in the brushing of the hair triggers a certain frequency threshold which is characteristic of overly dry or damaged hair.

- Fig.13 shows an overview of the feedback component 203 shown above in Fig. 2.
- the digital file 1003 is provided to a system 1301, which may be the same system as system 1001, or it may be a different system, device, or even the personal device of the user (such as a smartphone).

- the display of the results at the user’s smartphone may include a“damage overlay view” which shows an indicator at an area of interest on a 3D virtual user.
- the display may include a“picture localization view” which actually shows or depicts a zoomed in area of the area of interest on the virtual 3D user image. For instance, if the area of interest is damaged hair, then the picture localization will show an actual representative image of damaged hair at the spot on the user where the area of interest resides.
- a personalized 3D recipe or treatment may be generated at 1303 by the information system.
- a digital recipe may be generated by the system to treat the user’s hair with a styling tool (such as a hair dryer) in a way to prevent further damage to the user’s hair.
- the digital recipe may be transmitted to the hair dryer itself, and the hair dryer may adjust the temperature and/or the shape and/or speed of the air flow, by for example, adjusting the resistance of the heating element in the hair dryer, adjusting the fan speed, and/or adjusting the shape of the mechanical elements which control the air flow shape.

- the hair dryer receives the digital recipe.
- the digital recipe is processed or analyzed.
- the hair dryer performs adjustment of the settings on the hair dryer based on the processed/analyzed digital recipe.
- Fig 14 shows that the digital recipe may be used to cause adjustments to a hair dryer device (or other styling tool)
- the digital recipe may be utilized for a variety of benefits as shown in Fig. 15.
- the digital recipe may be simultaneously or alternatively used as an input for adjustments or a regime when using a hair dryer/ tyling tool 1501 as discussed above, a recommendation for particular one or more hair products 1502; and it also may be output to a virtual assistant device 1503 which may audibly provide information to a user as appropriate.
- Fig. 16 shows examples of sonic vibrating brush device 1600 which act upon a user’s skin.
- the brush device may include a sensor 1601, similar to the sensor 301 described above, disposed on the front face of the device for capturing images, sounds, texture, or dryness of the face of the user. Additionally or alternatively, an external sensor 1602 may be provided which is similar to the sensor 302 described above.
- the areas of interest may include detecting any number of skin conditions such as wrinkles, crow’s feet, acne, dry' skin, black heads, or others.
- the results of the 3D reconstruction for the facial region are analogous to the results of the hair region as described above.
- the 3D reconstruction may be output to a display on a smartphone 1701, which highlights the sensed condition areas on an avatar of the user.
- the 3D reconstruction may be used to create a digital recipe, which may be output for (i) adjusting or controlling a facial skincare device 1702, (ii) recommending skin care products 1703, (iii) being used to create a customized facial mask 1704, or (iii) for outputting to a virtual assistant device 1705 which may audibly provide information to a user as appropriate.
