Abstract
A device, system and a method for determining a relational position of a mobile device includes equipping the mobile device with a light source to project a light image on a subject during use, while a camera equipped device is observing the subject. The camera is used to identify both landmarks on the subject's face and the light image allowing the position of the mobile device relative to the user to be calculated. The system may use the computing power in the camera equipped device for image analysis, and no advanced processing needs to be performed by the mobile device. Further, no communication between the mobile device and the camera equipped device is required to establish the relative position of the mobile or personal care device.
