Overview of the Patent Drawing
The drawing illustrates an animal oral care device, designed for use in providing treatment or cleaning to a dog (A). The device (10) is being used to administer care inside the animal’s mouth, with the user’s right hand (RH) holding the tool and the left hand (LH) steadying the dog’s head. An electrical cord (30) is connected to the device, indicating that the tool requires power, possibly for functions such as vibration, heating, or liquid dispensing. The wristband (20) may serve as a functional accessory or safety feature.
Patent Insight 1: Electrically Powered Oral Care Device
The presence of an electrical cord (30) indicates that the device (10) is electrically powered. This suggests the tool may have enhanced functionalities such as vibration for more effective dental cleaning, heating to warm liquids being dispensed, or automated dispensing of medication. The electrical connection allows for a range of advanced features that can improve the quality and efficiency of oral care.
Patent Insight 2: Ergonomic Design for Animal Comfort
The tool is held at an angle (100), allowing the user to comfortably reach inside the animal’s mouth. This ergonomic design helps reduce stress on both the animal and the user during oral care procedures. The tool’s shape and orientation seem to be designed to provide easy access for cleaning teeth or applying medication, while minimizing discomfort.
Patent Insight 3: Potential Safety Features via Wristband
The wristband (20) worn on the user’s left hand (LH) could indicate a safety measure to prevent accidental drops or ensure proper hand positioning. It might also function as a grounding mechanism to enhance safety when using an electrically powered device, especially when in close proximity to a wet environment like an animal’s mouth.
Thoughts on the Patent Drawing
When I first saw the patent drawing for the “Animal Oral Care Device with Electrical Connection,” I was struck by how advanced pet care technology has become—it genuinely warmed my heart. The design isn’t just about the brush head; the thoughtfully crafted grip and power connection show real consideration for long-term usability and comfort.
What really resonated with me was the stability of the handle, designed to stay steady while brushing, and the durable electrical connection. Pets can’t take care of their own teeth, so a device like this could make daily brushing smoother, and help ease the stress for both animals and owners.
This isn’t just a tool—it’s a thoughtful companion for pet owners. The design seems to embody a desire to make everyday care more enjoyable and comforting. As a pet lover, I truly appreciate that intention shining through.

Application of the Technology: Real-Pet Avatar Synchronization System for the Metaverse
Purpose
To repurpose the oral care device’s facial sensing capabilities for use as a real-time motion capture system that mirrors a pet’s facial expressions and mouth movements onto a virtual pet avatar in the metaverse.
System Components
- Mouth Sensing Unit: A module with pressure sensors that detect mouth openings, tongue movement, and jaw motion
- Facial Motion Sensors: Sensors around the nose, cheeks, and mouth corners to capture subtle facial expressions
- Wireless Communication Module: Transmits movement data in real time to a virtual platform
- Comfort Mounting Pad for Pets: Lightweight materials designed for long-term, stress-free wear
- Metaverse Integration API: Software tools compatible with Unity, Unreal Engine, or VR platforms
Operational Flow
- Attach Device to Pet: Place the facial sensors and mouth module on the animal.
- Login to Metaverse Platform: The owner accesses a virtual space and selects their pet avatar.
- Transmit Real-Time Movements: The pet’s facial and mouth movements are reflected live on the virtual avatar.
- Express Emotions: Natural behaviors like yawning, licking, or sneezing are displayed virtually.
- Join Virtual Pet Events: The pet avatar can interact with other avatars, showcasing genuine cuteness and expression.
By leveraging the original technology’s precision in sensing facial and oral movements, this application opens up a whimsical, futuristic domain: real pets animating virtual avatars in the metaverse.
“Your pet’s real expressions—now alive in the virtual world.”
