Detailed ways

For many people, their routine includes at least a brief stop in front of the bathroom mirror. The mirror can be utilized as a portal into the user's life. Users can access the mirror to view their reflection or perform other personal hygiene functions. These visits provide the opportunity to collect data from users on a regular basis. These data can describe the user's health status. Tracking a user's health over time provides rich opportunities for technological improvements in various technical areas, as described in the following examples.

FIG. 1 shows an exemplary hygiene mirror 101 , including a sensor 10 and a controller 100 , in communication with a communication network 22 . Additional, different, or fewer components may be included. The data is collected by the health mirror 101 through the sensor 10 . This data may describe the user's physical characteristics or health characteristics. In some cases, users request that specific types of data be collected. In another case, data is automatically collected when the user is in front of, within sight of, or close to the healthcare mirror 101 . The term "near" may refer to any location within range of the sensor 10 . The term "in sight" may refer to the vicinity of the health mirror 101 without any physical obstacles (eg, walls) in between. The term "in front" may refer to a location 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 approaching the hygiene mirror 101 . While various other sensors are described, in one embodiment, sensor 10 is a temperature sensor (eg, a thermometer). Sensor 10 may be another temperature mapping device, such as an infrared camera for detecting a user's thermal signature.

The sensor 10 may be an audio sensor, such as a microphone that detects sounds generated by a user. Sounds such as coughs, sneezes, or certain sound characteristics may indicate the user's health. Sensor 102 can detect odors. The sensor 10 can detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other carbon-based (organic) chemicals (compounds), which are odors indicative of health conditions.

The sensor 10 may be an image capture device with a lens, such as a digital aperture capture device (such as a camera) or an image capture device with a charge-coupled device (CCD), such as an integrated circuit formed on a silicon surface on which the photosensitive elements are formed. The image collection device may collect images for user's facial recognition. The image collection device may collect images for identifying image characteristics of the user, such as, for example, the user's color or shape (eg, bone density, outline, height and/or weight). Other physical attributes can be determined from the user's images, including skin quality or condition at the cellular level, signs of hormonal imbalances, aging, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, color, inflammation, environmental influences, or other abnormalities. In another example, images of the user's muscles are analyzed to determine a muscle condition (eg, sprain, strain, or tear). Sensor 10 may be a retinal scanner configured to scan the user's eyes. Retinal scans can reveal eye features that can be used to identify users. Retinal scans can detect health characteristics, such as a user's blood sugar levels.

The controller 100 may analyze sensor data. Controller 100 may compare values in the sensor data to one or more thresholds or ranges in order to identify health characteristics of the user. For example, when the sensor data includes a temperature value, the controller 100 may compare the temperature value with 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 (eg, 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (F)), or the normal temperature range (eg, 97.5F to 99.5F) may span values around the normal temperature value.

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

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

Controller 100 can access logs to determine if an alarm should be generated. This alert can be displayed on the health mirror 101 . The alert can signal to the user that they may be experiencing a medical condition. This alert can signal to subsequent users of the hygiene mirror 101 that other users are experiencing a medical condition. For example, in a family, when a family member has a health condition, other members will be alerted through the health mirror 101 . Similarly, in hotels, dormitories, and public restrooms, the controller 100 can determine when a user has a health condition, and display an alarm to other users to let other users notice the risk.

A user's log may include when the user arrives or leaves the bathroom, the user's sequence of activities, the user's hand washing time and/or order, the user's shower time, hair washing frequency, hand washing frequency, body washing frequency, toilet usage time, toilet usage frequency , electricity usage, time spent in front of, or proximity to, a mirror.

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

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

The controllers 100 may send the analysis results to the communication network 22 directly or via a communication bus to transfer data between the controllers 100 . Communications network 22 may be coupled to or include servers, network devices (another computer connected to communications network 22), and communications buses. Through the communication network 22, the controller 100 may send information including analysis results or sensor data to a central controller, which may be implemented by a network device or a server. A central controller can perform the analysis of the sensor data. A central controller can compile sensor data from multiple hygiene mirrors 101 . The central controller may be a cloud device configured to communicate with multiple network devices located at multiple locations (eg, different homes or businesses) for multiple healthcare mirrors 101 . The central controller can implement a cloud service that coordinates and analyzes data from multiple health mirrors 101 . Any one of the hygienic mirrors 101 or a plurality of hygienic mirrors may receive a report from the central controller indicating that a health condition exists at any other hygienic mirror 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 the data used to track the user and responsively calculate instructions to the user.

In another embodiment, health mirrors can be managed according to geographic regions. The controller 100 can identify the location of the hygienic mirror and include that location with report analysis to the central controller. The controller 100 may receive the location from a positioning device (eg, a global positioning system (GPS)), the communication network 22 (eg, an IP address), or from user input. A central controller can organize health data based on location. The central controller can identify geographic areas (eg, neighborhoods, neighborhoods, towns, etc.) that are experiencing statistically significant health conditions. The central controller can use the health event density, which can be measured in events per unit area. A central controller can send alerts to health mirrors or other mobile devices within a defined geographic area. The central controller may receive area data describing areas representing mirrors.

Multiple health mirrors can be a set for hospitals, dormitories or hotels. Each room in a building or a campus of buildings can be indexed so that sensor data received at the server is organized by room. The controller 100 or server can identify health conditions in one room and report the health conditions to other rooms. When one of the rooms (that is, the user in the room) has a health condition, the health mirrors in other rooms can display an alarm. In this way, occupants are alerted when health conditions develop within the same building or complex.

In one example, data analysis occurs primarily on network devices, which may be referred to as a local analysis embodiment. 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 can be aggregated from multiple health mirrors in order to set predetermined thresholds for comparison. For example, when sensor 10 is a thermometer, the temperature values may be averaged to determine a temperature threshold. Different temperature thresholds may be used for different geographic regions. Different temperature thresholds may be used for different demographic groups. That is, different temperature thresholds may be calculated for female users and male users. Different threshold temperatures may be calculated for users of different age groups.

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

The controller 100 may pack or preprocess data in a predetermined format and transmit the data to a server. Network devices can filter data based on type. Example types include audio data, image data, location data, biometric data, environmental data, or other types. For image data, the controller 100 may analyze an image of at least a part of the user. For location data, network devices can determine a user's location based on proximity through analysis of images (for example, pattern matching or line detection) or through distance-based sensors. For biometric data, network devices may collect temperature data (e.g., thermal signatures) from temperature sensors or infrared sensors, fingerprint data from fingerprint sensors, or eye data from retinal scanners. For environmental data, network devices may collect temperature, humidity, or other environmental information.

In one example, the health status is selectable by the user. For example, users can ask to keep temperature logs to track ovulation cycles. The controller 100 can monitor temperature readings to determine when the temperature has reached a predetermined ovulation range. When a predetermined ovulation range occurs, the controller 100 generates information from the health mirror 101 to notify the user.

FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary healthcare mirror 101 including a mirror substrate configured to provide an image of an object, including a user. The mirror substrate reflects substantially all light that encounters the mirror substrate at the same angle at which 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. Mirror substrates can be made of a polished material or clear glass coated with a thin layer of reflective metal such as silver or aluminum. Mirror interface 120 may include a graphical user interface (GUI), a user input interface, or a data collection interface (eg, sensor 10 ) integrated with and/or adjacent to the mirror substrate.

As discussed in the following embodiments, sensor 10 may include one or more sensors of various types. As mentioned above, sensor 10 may be a camera. Sensor 10 may comprise a thermometer. The sensor 10 may be a relative distance collecting device, such as a proximity sensor or a laser scanner. A laser scanner emits one or more laser pulses that bounce off an object and are received by the laser scanner. The time-of-flight of the laser pulses indicates the distance to the object. Proximity sensors may detect the presence of objects within a predetermined distance or range of predetermined distances. Proximity sensors may include microwave or radar sensors. Examples of preset distances may be 28 inches, 1 meter, or other distances. The range of the proximity sensor may be conical.

2A and 2B illustrate the mirror frame or support housing 115 and the sensor module 121 of the hygiene mirror 101 . The cabinet inside the mirror frame can support the healthcare mirror 101 . Support housing 115 may include a sensor module that supports sensor 10 and a control module housing 122 that supports a control module 123 that includes controller 100 and one or more other components, such as communication interfaces and input interface circuitry. The control module 123 may be shaped to match the control module housing 122 and/or fit within the control module housing 122 . The control module 123 may include a control interface 130 on the bottom surface. FIG. 2A shows a wide support shell 115 and FIG. 2B shows a narrow support shell 115 . FIG. 2B also shows support feet 124 for holding the control module 123 on the support housing 115 . Additional, different or fewer components may be included.

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

The sensor module 121 may include one or more types of sensors that collect sensor data in the embodiments described herein. At the healthcare mirror 101 , or specifically, the control module 123 , the user's sensor data is received from the sensor module 121 or an external sensor.

Analysis of the sensor data may determine commands received at mirror interface 120 . The control module 123 may include a speaker configured to provide audio of status data, setting data, user's configuration data, or type data of sensor data. Speakers may be removable. The control module 123 may interface with a positioning machine (eg, a stepper motor or solenoid) to move the speaker towards the user. The degree of movement may depend on the tasks performed by the user, the identity of the user, the height of the user, and the preferences of the user. The volume of the speaker may be settable. The control module 123 can set the volume of the speaker according to the tasks 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, volume can be set proportional to age.

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

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

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

Panel 140 may include a USB or similar communication port 141 , a microphone activation or mute LED 143 , an inquiry LED 145 (inquiry LED), and a proximity sensor 147 .

The communication port 141 can be connected to a laptop or smart phone for setting up or configuring the control module 123 . In one example, the configuration requires a hardwired connection. Communication port 141 may serve as a charging port for a phone, razor, hair dryer, or other rechargeable home appliance. Communication port 141 may communicate with supplemental or alternative lights, speakers or microphones. The microphone active or muted LED 143 is an indicator when the microphone is in use.

FIG. 5 shows an exemplary control system 301 for the hygiene mirror 101 . Control system 301 may include processor 300 , memory 352 and communication interface 353 for interfacing with devices or with the Internet and/or other networks 346 . In addition to the communication interface 353 , the sensor interface may be configured to receive data from the sensor 10 or from any source for tracking users in the bathroom near the hygiene mirror 101 .

Components of control system 301 may communicate using bus 348 . Control system 301 may be connected to a workstation or another external device (eg, a control panel) and/or a database for receiving user input, system characteristics, and any values described herein. Optionally, the control system 301 may include an input device 355 and/or sensing circuitry in communication with any sensors. The sensing circuit receives measurements from the sensors as described above.

Optionally, the control system 301 may include a drive unit 340 for receiving and reading a non-transitory computer medium 341 with instructions 342 . Additional, different, or fewer components may be included. Processor 300 is configured to execute instructions 342 stored in memory 352 for performing the algorithms described herein. The display 350 may be supported by a mirror frame. Display 350 may be combined with user input device 355 .

FIG. 6 shows an example flowchart of the temperature tracking algorithm of the hygienic mirror 101 . The actions of the flowchart may be performed by any combination of the controller 100, network devices or servers. Portions of one or more actions may be performed by a device. Additional, different, fewer actions may be included.

In action S101, the controller 100 (eg, through the processor 300) determines the user identity of the user associated with the mirror. User identity may be determined through user input. For example, the hygiene mirror 101 can be configured by a user. The user may enter a registration or login name indicating the user's identity. The controller 100 may assume that the registered user is related to the collected sensor data. Alternatively, the user may enter the user identity into the hygienic mirror 101 for a predetermined period of time. User identities can be entered daily or at other time periods. The health mirror 101 can prompt the user to enter the user identity.

User identity can be determined by analyzing sensor data. For example, the controller 100 may perform facial recognition, thermal signature, 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 action S103 , the controller 100 receives (eg, through the communication interface 353 ) temperature data collected at the temperature sensor of the healthcare mirror 101 . The temperature data can be collected at predetermined time intervals. Temperature data may be collected in response to receiving a user identity. The communication interface 353 is means for receiving temperature data.

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

In act S107, the controller 100 (eg, via the processor 300) generates information based on the analysis of the temperature data. This information may be an alert displayed on the hygiene mirror 101 . A portion of the mirror substrate may be covered by a liquid crystal display, or the display may be otherwise integrated with the mirror, which is configured to provide the results of the analysis data to a user of the healthcare mirror 101 . Alternatively, a separate display can be mounted on or near the healthcare mirror 101 .

Alerts can be sent to mobile devices for display. This alert can be sent to a central location. Processor 300 may include circuits, modules, or application-specific controllers as a means of generating information based on temperature data.

FIG. 7 shows exemplary internal sensors of the hygiene mirror 101 . A sensor cavity 150 (eg, a camera module) is mounted on the mirror frame. The sensor cavity 150 is a housing inside the mirror frame, in which the sensor and/or camera 151 is housed. The camera 151 is configured to collect images of one or more users in the vicinity of the healthcare mirror 101 . The sensor cavity 150 may be formed of plastic or metal. The sensor cavity 150 may be coupled with one of the mirror's interior shelves 149 . The sensor cavity 150 may include other types of sensors in addition to or instead of cameras. In addition, the sensor cavity 150 may include the controller 100, which may also be considered as another example of a control module.

In one example, the viewing angle of the camera can be selectively closed or opened by the door 152 of the mirror frame. 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 example retractable cover 153 configured to cover an aperture to selectively block a sensor or camera in sensor cavity 150 . FIG. 9 illustrates an exemplary cover switch 154 for a retractable cover 153 . FIG. 10 shows a top view of a cover switch 154 for a retractable cover 153 .

The retractable cover 153 is connected to the cover switch 154 in the sensor cavity 150 through a driving structure, and the driving structure converts the movement of the cover switch 154 in the first direction to the movement of the retractable cover 153 in the second direction.

The controller 100 compares these features to one or more templates corresponding to identified skin tones, skin textures, bruises, swellings, cuts, scrapes, other injuries, and sunburns. When any of these conditions match an image, the controller 100 may generate an information alert to the user, or issue an alert to a central server or provided healthcare service. One example information is that potential physical abuse can be reported to local law enforcement facilities. One example message to the user is that "how the sun sees you" can be displayed, pointing out areas of the body that are not protected by sunscreen.

FIG. 33D illustrates exemplary data collection for dental and/or vision analysis using the hygienic mirror 101 . The controller 100 analyzes the user's image to recognize the user's features. The controller 100 compares these features to one or more templates corresponding to dental conditions such as caries, sunken gums, plaque, vision conditions related to eye movement such as concussion, dementia, autism , or for vision testing, macular testing, magnification, or eyeglass fitting for eyeglass prescriptions. The health mirror 101 can be configured to display glasses images on the user's image for virtual glasses try-on.

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

As shown in 34A, as a result of body scanning using the sensor 10 of the healthcare mirror 101, an estimated image 405 of the user may be displayed. In one example, changes in shape or other physical characteristics are determined by comparing the first body image 405 with the second body image 406 . The controller 100 can measure differences in body structure, height and weight. Additionally, one of the external sensors connected to the healthcare mirror 101 may also include an external scale for the user to stand on and provide weight/mass data to the healthcare mirror 101 .

A similar concept could also be applied to pregnancy. The controller 100 compares the image of the body to one or more templates to calculate a measurement of palace height, which is recorded with a time stamp. The controller 100 calculates the number of weeks of pregnancy. For example, the number of weeks of gestation may be equal to (current date - (expected date - 40 weeks)). If the gestational week is >= equal to or greater than 20 weeks, then the target palace height is equal to the number of weeks in centimeters (the palace height at 20 weeks should be 20 cm). If the palace height is +/- 2.1 centimeters compared to the predicted palace height, the controller 100 may generate an alarm or warning. This information may indicate that the baby may not be growing normally. This information can automatically contact a registered physician. If the measurements indicate average growth, the controller 100 may issue a message including encouragement.

Figure 34C shows a contour comparison of the body shape 407. The controller 100 may generate the difference of the body shape 407 through the comparison of the first body image 405 and the second body image 406 . Can be tracked for weight loss programs, fitness training programs, growth of babies or children. The controller 100 may provide goal setting for anatomy. The controller 100 may provide predictive analysis of trends by comparing the first body image 405 with the second body image 406 to create a future profile of a person based on current trends.

FIG. 34D shows exemplary data collection for garment assignment 408 using the healthcare mirror 101 . Controller 100 may analyze images collected by cameras or other sensors 10 . Controller 100 may access a database of garments rated by one or more attributes. These garments may be garments in the local user's wardrobe. The garment may be a garment provided for transportation or a garment available in a store. The controller 100 determines one or more characteristics of the user, and selects a garment in response.

FIG. 35 illustrates exemplary data collection for body type (female 409 ) analysis using the hygienic mirror 101 . FIG. 36 shows another exemplary data collection for body type (male 413 ) analysis using the hygienic mirror 101 . Controller 100 may analyze the images to identify physical attributes 408 . Body attributes 408 include shoulder width, chest width, waist width, and hip width. The controller uses the body attributes to access the body type database 411 to determine the user's body type. Select at least one body type and choose the best clothing for the selected body type from the clothing database.

Controller 100 may display one or more outputs during body analysis and garment assignment. FIG. 37A shows a depiction of the user's calculated body style 421 . Figure 37B shows suggestions 422 on what to wear. The suggestion may include an image of the garment, a link to the garment, or an identification number for the garment. Figure 37C shows a suggestion 423 on what not to wear. The suggestion may include an image of the garment, a link to the garment, or an identification number for the garment.

FIG. 38A shows an exemplary sterilization case 420 coupled to the hygiene mirror 101 . FIG. 39 shows an exemplary sterilization case 420 inside the hygiene mirror 101 . Sterilization box 420 may perform sterilization and/or disinfection. The term sterilizing refers to the process of eliminating or killing living organisms or near-living organisms, which may include microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spores or unicellular eukaryotes. The term disinfection may include sterilizing and/or other processes to remove or kill living or near-living organisms, remove contaminants or sterilize objects or surfaces. The term disinfection can include the process of deploying chemical agents or radiation with the aim of eliminating bacteria and/or viruses or other microorganisms. Alternatively, sterilization tank 420 may include a heater to heat the contents to a temperature high enough to eliminate or kill living organisms. An example is an autoclave. Additionally, the sanitizing box 420 may include air filters (eg, high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) and ultraviolet (UV) air filtration systems) to clean and sanitize air that may harbor viruses, mold, or other microorganisms.

The sterilization box 420 includes a sterilization device 425 coupled to the mirror frame. The disinfection device 425 may be in communication with a controller that issues instructions to the disinfection device 425 . The sterilizing device 425 is configured to sterilize the space associated with the mirror frame, which may be within the sterilizing box 420 or within the cavity of the hygiene mirror 101 .

Disinfecting device 425 may include a dispenser or sprayer that emits a cloud or mist of disinfectant or chemical agent into the chamber of disinfection case 420 or hygiene mirror 101 in response to an activation command from a controller of disinfection device 425 . The sterilizing device 425 may emit sterilizing radiation (eg, ultraviolet rays) in the chamber of the sterilizing box 420 or the hygiene mirror 101 in response to an activation command issued by a controller of the sterilizing device 425 .

In some examples, items are placed within sterilization bin 420, where sterilization equipment 420 performs sterilization on the items. Example items that are sanitized in the sanitizing bin 420 may include personal items used in the bathroom, such as toothbrushes, hairbrushes, dental floss, hair dryers, curling irons, or others. Example items that are sterilized in sterilization bin 420 may include personal electronic devices, such as phones, other mobile devices, or wearable devices. Example items that are sterilized in sterilization bin 420 may include jewelry, eyeglasses, or watches. Example items to be sterilized in sterilization box 420 may include personal protective equipment (PPE), such as face masks, visors, or gloves. Exemplary items sterilized in sterilization chamber 420 may include devices including sensors 10 such as thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, or sample containers. The sterilization case 420 may include sensors to detect whether an item is placed within the sterilization case 420 . This way, the sanitization process will only run if there are items that need to be sanitized. The sensor may include a mechanical sensor activated by the weight of the item, a light sensor or other sensor that produces a beam of light that is interrupted by the item. In one example, established wireless communication with the healthcare mirror 101 indicates the presence of the item. In other examples, the sanitization process may be run regardless of the presence or absence of items.

Referring to Figure 38B, the body 751 of the nebulizer includes a housing. The housing includes a front housing 756 and a rear housing 757, each formed and coupled together to capture other components of the dispenser within the cavity defined by the housing. Alternatively, the front housing 756 and rear housing 757 may be integrally formed as a single piece. Rear housing 757 includes a generally circular end and a generally cylindrical wall extending therefrom. The end includes an inlet opening 758 configured to receive a supply of fluid (eg, water, cleaning compound, etc.) entering the dispenser 750 . As shown, inlet opening 758 is generally concentric with the longitudinal axis and is configured to receive liquid supply channel 759 . Front housing 756 includes a generally circular end including an outlet opening 760 and a generally cylindrical wall extending therefrom. Each wall may include a distal end configured to be adjacent to the distal end of the other wall when the housings are coupled together. A first O-ring seal 761 may be disposed between the walls of the front housing 756 and the rear housing 757 to help seal the cavity (eg, from 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 .

A neck 752 of the dispenser extends from an outlet opening 760 at the end of the front housing 756 . Neck 752 may have a frusto-conical 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 the aspect ratio is the ratio of its length (along the longitudinal axis) to its width (eg, diameter). For a frustoconical neck, its diameter can be considered to be its average diameter, since it will vary along the length. Hole 762 extends through neck 752 , delivering fluid to head 753 . Neck 752 may extend into the cavity of the housing and out from inlet opening 758 of rear housing 757 such that the inlet of the bore acts as a liquid supply channel 759 to receive fluid from a fluid source. The neck may further include a shoulder 763 configured to seat in the outlet opening 760 of the front housing 757 . A second O-ring seal 764 may be disposed between neck 752 (eg, shoulder 763 ) and front housing 756 (eg, an inner surface defining the end of 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 as a mist. As shown in FIG. 38B , head 753 has a generally pyramidal shape that tapers in size from a base disposed on the distal end of neck 752 to a tip that is the outermost end of dispenser 750 . Head 753 may have a hemispherical shape. Head 753 includes holes that are extensions of holes 762 in neck 752 for dispensing fluid from nozzles in head 753 .

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

Also shown in FIG. 38B , the dispenser includes a connector 771 . For example, connector 771 may be an electrical connector for providing an electrical connection to a broadband ultrasound generator. Connector 771 is electrically connected to active electrode 767 and/or each piezoelectric crystal 769 such that electrical signals received from the broadband ultrasound generator are passed to active electrode 767 and/or each piezoelectric crystal 769 .

During operation, as the fluid passes through the liquid supply channel 759 , the dispenser 750 atomizes the fluid by electrical signals received via the connector 771 . An atomized fluid, eg, 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 disinfection box 420 located inside the hygiene mirror 101 may be connected to a switch 426 for operating a disinfection device 425 . Switch 426 may be actuated by a user (eg, pressing a button) to turn on disinfection device 425 . Switch 426 is actuatable by door 152 . That is, when the door 152 is closed, the door 152 presses the switch 426 to open the disinfection device 425 . Alternatively, the disinfection device 425 can be activated and controlled using a mobile device or the control interface of the healthcare mirror 101 .

In another option, the disinfection box 420 is omitted, and the disinfection device 425 is installed inside the hygiene mirror 101 . Therefore, the radiation or the disinfectant released by the disinfecting device 425 fills the cavity of the hygiene mirror 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 of the sanitizing device 425 . Water can be heated to a temperature high enough to kill bacteria and/or viruses. The temperature of the water can be limited to protect rubber seals and other components. The sanitizing device 425 may heat the water provided to the faucet. Thus, the user may choose to prepare the sanitizing bath in the sink 431 . A user may place any of the items described herein in the sanitizing bath in sink 431 .

The controller can generate an alarm message indicating operation of the water heater. This information can warn the user that the water from the tap is too hot for normal use. This information can inform the user not to wash their hands, brush their teeth, etc. This information can show the temperature of the water. This information may instruct the user to keep a certain distance from the hygiene mirror 101 or the sink 431 .

Figure 40 shows an exemplary flowchart for operating the sterilizer box 420, and may be applicable to either an inner sterilizer box embodiment or an outer sterilizer box embodiment. Additional, different or fewer actions may be included. Disinfecting device 425 may include a controller (eg, including one or more components of FIG. 5 ) configured to generate commands for disinfecting device 425 based on one or more signals or instructions. Sterilization box 420 may include a display configured to provide operational information of sterilization device 425 and status information indicative of one or more of the following actions.

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

In action S603, the disinfection device 425 receives an activation signal at the disinfection device. The activation signal can be generated according to user settings. For example, sanitizing device 425 may be set to operate at certain times of day. The user may set the sanitizing device 425 to sanitize at night (eg, at 3 am) or at other specific times of the day, day of the week, or day of the month. Additionally, sanitization can be triggered by external events. An external event may be information received from an external device describing whether a virus outbreak is occurring in a geographical area including the healthcare mirror 101 . An external event could be information describing a government rule or regulation related to disinfection. Activation signals can be generated on used inputs (eg sanitize button now). The activation signal may be triggered by switch 426 when door 152 is closed.

In action S605, the disinfection device 425 is activated in response to the activation signal and the disinfection ready signal. That is, only when the sterilizing device 425 is deemed ready for operation by the sterilizing ready signal and receives an operation command from a user through the activation signal, the sterilizing device 425 is turned on to discharge the sterilizing agent or radiation. Activating the sterilization device 425 includes releasing a sterilization gas and/or emitting radiation in the sterilization chamber 420 .

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

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

Disinfectant mist is delivered by air curtains. One or more nozzles coupled to the hygiene mirror 101 may define the direction and size of the air curtain. These nozzles can be rotated by the controller of the disinfection device 425, moving from left to right, front to back, and vice versa. The sanitizing mist may include alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or other sanitizing solutions in at least a predetermined proportion. In addition, the nebulizer 432 can discharge essential oil, steam or medicine inside the healthcare mirror 101 or outside the healthcare mirror 101 .

FIG. 42 shows an exemplary disinfecting light emitted from the hygiene mirror 101 . In this example, disinfection device 425 includes light 440 .

The light 440 is configured to generate disinfecting light that is exhausted into a cavity inside the healthcare mirror 101 , or exhausted into the environment of the healthcare mirror 101 . Disinfecting light may be defined as light having a predetermined wavelength, such as 400 nm to 405 nm. Disinfecting light can be defined as light capable of killing or eliminating single-celled organisms such as bacteria or viruses.

FIG. 43 illustrates an exemplary control algorithm for discharging sterilizing material. Additional, different or fewer actions may be included. Disinfecting device 425 may include a controller (eg, including one or more components of FIG. 5 ) configured to generate commands for disinfecting device 425 based on one or more signals or instructions. Sterilization box 420 may include a display configured to provide operational information for sterilization device 425 and status information indicative of one or more of the following actions.

In act S701, the controller (eg, via the processor 300) identifies a sanitization event. The sanitization event may be a sensed state. A disinfection event can be a detection of a virus or bacteria. Sanitization events can occur based on the user's time or date.

In action S703, the controller (eg, through the processor 300) activates the disinfection device associated with the mirrored cabinet. In act S705, the controller (eg, via the processor 300) generates a control signal to release the sterilant from the sterilizing device. This control signal enables the nebulizer or dispenser to discharge a disinfectant mist from the mirrored cabinet. This control signal causes light emitting diodes (LEDs) or other lights to generate and shine ultraviolet light from the mirrored cabinet.

FIG. 44 shows an exemplary wireless power distribution system for the healthcare mirror 101. The health mirror 101 may include a wireless power splitter configured to transmit a signal from the health mirror 101 to a device having a battery in order to charge the battery. The device may be a bathroom peripheral 451 such as a shaver or an electric toothbrush.

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

Fig. 45 shows another example wireless power distribution system. In this case, the charging transmitter 800 sends a charging signal 810 to one or more bathroom appliances and/or a mobile device 811 (eg, a tablet, cell phone, or similar device). The charging signal, which may be a radio frequency (RF) signal or an optical signal, is configured to charge the battery wirelessly. The bathroom appliances can include a health mirror 101, a shower head 2, a shower jet 3, a balneotherapy device with light or sound 4, a shower faucet 5, a toilet 6, a toilet seat or toilet 7, a sink faucet 8, or other equipment.

FIG. 46 illustrates exemplary hand washing guidelines 550 . The controller 100 may access a sequence of the hand washing guide 550 (eg, 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 guidelines 550 may be displayed all at once. Alternatively, individual steps or subsets of steps may be displayed by controller 100 in response to a user's gesture or action. That is, the camera may capture images of the user performing the 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 advance to the next step.

The display of the hygiene mirror 101 can also prompt the user when to wash their hands. For example, if the user has flushed the toilet, if the user has been outside, or if a predetermined time has passed. The health mirror 101 can also provide a timer or hand washing music to inform the user how long to wash hands. The hygiene mirror 101 may provide other reminders, such as providing informational instructions to clean the mirror or counter surface based on the amount of time since last cleaning or other intervals.

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

FIG. 47 shows an exemplary health status 900 display of the health mirror 101 . The health status 900 can be displayed at a specific time or at all times, either for a single health mirror 101 or for all health mirrors in a home (family health status) or another organization such as a hotel, hospital, dormitory, office building or other (organizational health status) 101 display. Although other graphics may be used, health status 900 includes a graphical representation of each member of the family, along with indicators (eg, colors, shades, numbers) that reflect the user's health characteristics. For example, if a member of the family (or a resident of a dormitory, hotel, hospital, etc.) is detected by the health mirror 101 to have certain health characteristics, it will be displayed on the family health status 900 . In this example, the health characteristic is temperature, a high temperature above a threshold may be represented by a first index, and a temperature normal or below a threshold may be represented by a second index. Different thresholds may be used for different individuals or for different ages or genders. Other health characteristics can be applied to the family health status 900 . For larger institutions, the health status 900 can represent statistics such as the number of organization members with a high body temperature, the number of organization members diagnosed with a specific disease (eg, COVID-19).

FIG. 48 illustrates an exemplary geographic area status display 500 for the healthcare mirror 101 . The data of the geographic area status display 500 may represent the health status of various users within the geographic area. Different colors, patterns or shades may be used to reflect the various areas detected by the user's hygiene mirror 101 with different health conditions. Geographic area status shows 500 can reflect high fever in the area. A geographic area status display of 500 can reflect a specific disease, such as cancer. The controller 100 may analyze what the geographic area status display 500 may reflect to determine future trends in which health conditions may expand or shift. The controller 100 may time-stamp and store versions of the geographic area status display 500 as it changes over time.

In response to the data of the geographic area status display 500, the controller 100 or server may generate an alert to one or more users, a warning to at least one other user, a geographic analysis of the geographic area including the mirrored cabinet, or a Reports from persons providing health care.

FIG. 49 shows an exemplary memory aid display 910 of the healthcare mirror 101 . The health mirror 101 can execute memory point sequences for the user to help the user remember various aspects of the user's life. Memory point sequences can be performed for users suffering from memory loss or dementia. The memory point sequence may select one or more pictures from the user's personal picture database or other predetermined pictures accessed for the user to stimulate the user's memory.

These pictures can include the user's home, family, pets, spouse, parents, children. The memory aid display 910 may include a first memory point scene 911 and a second memory point scene 912 . In one example, the memory comparison of the first memory point scene 911 and the second memory point scene 912 may display users or family members of users at different ages or time periods. A user may remember older pictures, but not newer pictures, and the memory aid display 910 helps the user associate the present time (which may be unfamiliar) with a familiar time. Memory aid display 910 may include and display photos of the user from before (eg, from the previous day). The mnemonic display 910 may be presented at shorter (eg, 30 seconds or 1 minute) intervals at the beginning of the day or when a user is first detected in a given day.

The health mirror 101 may perform a memory diagnostic test and activate the memory aid display 910 in response to the memory diagnostic test. Memory diagnostic tests may include prompting the user to identify certain people or certain places. Pictures for memory diagnostic tests can be obtained from the user's personal picture database. In one example, the memory diagnostic test presents at least one picture from the user's personal picture database and at least one picture from a stock picture database. The user is prompted to select a familiar picture. If after one or more trials, the user cannot correctly identify a familiar picture, the health mirror 101 activates the memory aid display 910 to help improve the user's memory.

FIG. 50 shows a flow chart of displaying user instructions through the healthcare mirror 101 . The instructions may include information, images or other messages. Instructions may be provided in video by a display (eg, a video display). The actions of the flowchart may be performed by any combination of the controller 100, network devices or servers. One or more action portions may be performed by a device. Additional, different, fewer actions may be included.

In action S801, the controller 100 (eg, through the processor 300) receives data from one or more sensors 10 for tracking a user in the bathroom. In action S803, the controller 100 (eg, through the processor 300) analyzes data for tracking the user. In one example, the controller 100 determines whether the user is near the sink.
