Claims
- 1. A shaving device, comprising:(a) at least one shaving blade; (b) at least one sensor means coupled to the at least one shaving blade to produce a shaving signal; (c) a processor for receiving the shaving signal, wherein the processor determines what shaving changes should be implemented; and (d) audible indication means coupled to the processor to inform the user of the shaving changes needed.
- 2. The shaving device of claim 1 wherein the sensor means is a microphone to convert shaving, sounds into a shaving signal.
- 3. The shaving device of claim 1 wherein the sensor means is a n accelerometer to convert shaving motions into a shaving signal.
- 4. The shaving device of claim 1 wherein the sensor means is an accelerometer and a microphone.
- 5. The shaving device of claim 1 wherein the processor means further comprises a filtering circuit.
- 6. The shaving device of claim 1 wherein the processor further comprises artificial intelligence logic to determine the meaning of the shaving signal.
- 7. The shaving device of claim 1 wherein the audible indication means further comprises a speaker coupled to the processing means to reproduce audible indicators.
- 8. The shaving device of claim 1 wherein the audible indication means further comprises a voice reproduction circuit and speaker to provide shaving instructions to a person.
- 9. The shaving, device of claim 1 wherein the audible indication means further comprises a voice synthesizer circuit and speaker to provide shaving instructions to a person.
- 10. A shaving device comprising,(a) at least one shaving blade; (b) at least one sensor means coupled to the at least one shaving blade to produce a shaving signal; (c) a processor for receiving the shaving signal, wherein the processor determines shaving changes which should be implemented; and (d) visible indication means coupled to the processor to inform the user of the shaving changes needed.
- 11. The shaving device of claim 10 wherein the visible indication means further comprises a plurality light emitting diodes (LEDs) to indicate required shaving modifications.
- 12. The shaving device of claim 10 wherein the visible indication means further comprises a liquid crystal display (LCD) to indicate required shaving modifications.
- 13. A shaving device, comprising:(a) at least one shaving blade; (b) at least one sensor means coupled to the at least one shaving blade to produce a shaving signal; and (c) analysis means for analyzing the shaving signal.
- 14. The shaving device as in claim 13 wherein the analysis means determines what shaving changes should be implemented.
- 15. The shaving device as in claim 13 further comprising an audio indication means coupled to the analysis means which produces a first sound when an effective shaving method is being used and a second sound when an ineffective method of shaving is being used.
- 16. The shaving device as in claim 14 wherein the analysis means is a processor having artificial intelligence logic.
- 17. The shaving device as in claim 13 further comprising a data connection port coupled to a computer to download analysis information.
- 18. A shaving device, comprising:(a) at least one shaving blade; (b) at least one sensor means coupled to the at least one shaving blade to produce a shaving signal; and (c) bandpass means for passing a selected part of the shaving signal, wherein the bandpass means determines what shaving changes should be implemented based on the shaving signal.
- 19. The shaving device as in claim 18 further comprising a data port connection to download analysis information into a computer.
- 20. The shaving device as in claim 18 wherein the bandpass means is a bandpass filter.
- 21. The shaving device as in claim 18 further comprising an audio indication means coupled to the bandpass means which produces a first sound when an effective shaving, method is used and a second sound when an ineffective method of shaving is used.
- 22. The shaving device as in claim 18 further comprising an audio indication means coupled to the bandpass means to inform the user of suggested shaving changes.
