Systems and methods for providing device usage data
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring device usage, comprising:
- a handheld device for performing an action, wherein the handheld device comprisesa handle portion;
a sensing system;
a transmitting system; and
a cartridge connection component;
wherein the sensing system comprises an engagement sensor to detect any of a position, an angle, and a movement of the handheld device; and
wherein the transmitting system comprises a transmitter; and
a computer that comprises a processor and a memory component, wherein the memory component stores logic that, when executed by the processor causes the computer to perform at least the following;
determine a minimum device engagement time of the handheld device, wherein the minimum device engagement time relates to a shortest duration of time the engagement sensor can be triggered to count for a pass of the handheld device in an active state;
receive output data from the engagement sensor based on a triggering of the engagement sensor during the action;
determine an actual device engagement time based on the output data;
determine if the actual device engagement time is at least as long as the minimum device engagement time;
in response to determining that the actual device engagement time is at least as long as the minimum device engagement time, determine the action taken by the handheld device; and
provide data related to the action taken by the handheld device for display.

Abstract
Included are embodiments of a system for monitoring device usage. The system may include a handheld device for performing an action, where the handheld device includes an engagement sensor and a computer that includes a processor and a memory component. The memory component stores logic that causes the computer to determine a minimum device engagement time of the handheld device. In some embodiments, the logic causes the computer to receive output data from the engagement sensor, where the output data includes an actual device engagement time, determine if the actual device engagement time is at least as long as the minimum device engagement time, and in response to determining that the actual device engagement time is at least as long as the minimum device engagement time, determine the action taken by the handheld device.

8. A method for monitoring device usage, comprising:
-
receiving stroke data related to an actual stroke of a razor device across a length of skin, wherein the stroke data includes an actual duration of the actual stroke of the razor device across the length of skin, wherein the razor device comprises a handle portion and a sensing system, and wherein the stroke data is generated by an engagement sensor of the sensing system of the razor device; determining that the actual duration is at least as long as a minimum duration, wherein the minimum duration relates to a minimum razor engagement time required for counting a single stroke of the razor device across the length of skin; in response to determining that the actual duration is at least as long as the minimum duration, determine an action taken by the razor device from the stroke data; and provide data related to the action taken by the razor device for display. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
