Abstract
A method () for localizing an oral cleaning device within a user's mouth. The method includes the steps of: (i) providing () an oral cleaning device () with a motion identifier (); (ii) estimating (), based on sensor information received from the motion identifier, a probability of a first location of the oral cleaning device within the user's mouth; (iii) receiving () information from the motion identifier regarding a completed transition to a second state within the user's mouth; (iv) comparing () the completed transition to a defined set of possible transitions between each of a plurality of possible states within the user's mouth to determine a transition probability; and (v) determining (), using a probabilistic graphical model comprising the first location probability and the transition probability, a probability of the location of the second state.
