Smart Beard Trimmer With Artificial Intelligence And Bluetooth Low Energy (Ble) Based Control

Abstract: A smart beard trimmer integrated with artificial intelligence and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) control. The said trimmer is handheld trimmer and integrated with a smartphone application that captures the user’s face using the front-facing camera and analyses beard symmetry through an AI model. Based on the analysis, the app sends BLE commands to control the trimmer’s motor, electronically adjustable guard, vibration feedback motor, and LED indicators. If asymmetry is detected during trimming, the system automatically stops the motor, triggers a vibration alert, and activates a red LED. When symmetry is maintained, a green LED confirms optimal trimming. The app also allows users to adjust trim modes and guard height wirelessly. This closed-loop feedback system enables guided, mistake-free grooming, ensuring professional results without manual judgment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION WITH REFERENCE TO ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS
With reference to figures 1 and 2, the present invention relates to a smart beard trimmer integrated with artificial intelligence and bluetooth low energy control. The said trimmer comprises servo-controlled electronically adjustable guard 1, high-speed motor 2, Battery 3, bluetooth low energy module 4, coin vibration motor 5, power button 6, Red and green LED indicator 7, USB-C Charging port 8, microcontroller and Lithium-ion battery.
The said bluetooth low energy enabled trimmer device configured to a smartphone application that uses AI 9 to detect beard asymmetry using the front camera 10. The configured application sends BLE commands to stop the motor, trigger vibration feedback, and illuminate LEDs when asymmetry is detected. It also allows the user to wirelessly control trim intensity, guard height, and other features from within the app. Further the said trimmer enables a user to achieve balanced beard trimming with minimal manual intervention, enhanced precision, and automated correction in case of trimming deviation.

The said BLE module operates under BLE 5.0 protocol and supports command latency of less than 200 milliseconds. The app provides vibration and LED-based feedback for user alerts in response to AI decisions.
Component specification of the present invention
• Blade Type: Stainless steel, self-sharpening blades
• Motor: High-speed DC motor (8,000–10,000 RPM)
• Guard: Electronically adjustable (0.5mm – 10mm) using servo motor
• Battery: Rechargeable Li-ion battery (2000–3000mAh)
• Charging Port: USB-C with fast charging support
• Haptics: Vibration motor for feedback alerts (when auto-stop is triggered)
Hardware–Software Communication Flow
The smart beard trimmer system is composed of two tightly integrated subsystems: a mobile software application and an embedded hardware unit, which communicate over a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) link to execute real-time trimming actions guided by AI.
1. AI-Based Decision Engine (Mobile App)
The smartphone application is built to run a lightweight, on-device artificial intelligence (AI) model using frameworks such as MediaPipe, OpenCV, or TensorFlow Lite. The app accesses the smartphone’s front-facing camera to capture live video frames at ~10–30 frames per second (FPS). These frames are processed locally to detect beard outlines and facial symmetry landmarks using a trained AI model.

2. BLE Communication Protocol
Once the AI determines the state of beard symmetry, it constructs BLE command packets that are securely transmitted to the trimmer hardware using BLE 5.0. The smartphone acts as the central BLE device and the trimmer as a peripheral. The command protocol follows a simple structured format:
• {motor_on} or {motor_off}: toggles the high-speed trimming motor
• {guard_set: }: adjusts the electronically controlled trimming guard (e.g., 1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm)
• {vibrate}: activates the vibration motor to alert the user
• {led:}: controls the LED status indicators (e.g., led:red, led:green)
• {status_read}: queries battery level or operational state
BLE characteristics are configured in Notify and Write modes. All commands are executed in <200ms latency to maintain real-time control.
3. Microcontroller Firmware (Trimmer Side)
The trimmer is equipped with a microcontroller such as ESP32 or nRF52840, which contains:
• A BLE stack to receive commands from the phone
• GPIO/PWM control logic to operate:
o DC motor driver
o Servo motor for guard adjustment
o Vibration motor driver
o LED driver circuit
Upon receiving a command, the microcontroller parses the instruction, updates internal flags, and triggers hardware interrupts or output signals to the respective peripheral devices.
4. Feedback Loop
If the system detects an asymmetry (e.g., right side longer than left), the AI model sends {motor_off} and {vibrate} along with {led:red} to pause trimming and alert the user. When symmetry is restored, it sends {motor_on} and {led:green} to resume.
5. Power & OTA
The hardware unit is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery (2000–3000mAh). The BLE firmware supports OTA (over-the-air) updates through a secured mobile command, allowing future improvements.
System Architecture Summary
The interaction between app and hardware is based on a closed-loop control system:
• AI captures, evaluates, and decides trimming status
• BLE acts as the secure communication channel
• Microcontroller executes the command
• User receives physical feedback via motor/vibration/LED
This architecture allows for safe, precise, and AI-guided grooming using a mobile-controlled smart trimmer.

Working of the device
• The first step is that the user opens the mobile app and starts a trimming session, wherein each session comprises a communication protocol such as:
-motor_state (on/off)
- guard_position (up/down)
- vibration_control (on/off)
- battery_status (read)
- trim_mode (light, medium, full)
• The second step is the front-facing camera of mobile captures a live video feed of the user's face. Now, an embedded AI model in the app, analyses the feed in real time to detect beard regularity. This AI-powered loop ensures precision trimming, avoiding over-trimming or asymmetry. The said AI model comprises 3D facial landmark detection using MediaPipe or OpenCV frameworks running on-device.
If irregularity is detected, the app sends BLE commands to:
o Stop the motor (motor_off)
o Trigger the vibration motor
o Illuminate the red LED
If the beard shape is restored, the green LED turns on, and trimming continues.
• The app also provides options to adjust guard height (0.5mm–10mm), trimming mode, and vibration alerts.
• The app continues to monitor symmetry and execute corrective BLE commands in real time.
