Description

AREA OF TECHNOLOGY

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a sexual stimulation device and refers in particular to the sexual stimulation device for stimulating the erogenous zones of a user and for generating optical effects. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Masturbation is generally considered a natural and safe method for exploring one's own body, i.e., stimulating the genitals to achieve sexual pleasure. Typically, people use conventional techniques to explore their own bodies (regardless of gender) in order to achieve sexual pleasure. However, these conventional techniques are generally unhygienic and therefore not desirable.

[0003] Sex toys come in various configurations and serve different functions, from medical therapy to erotic stimulation. For example, sex toys like dildos are used by women for masturbation. These toys are generally phallic-shaped and easier to use to provide sexual pleasure. They also often include a vibration function to enhance sexual stimulation of the female genitalia (e.g., the vaginal area). However, using sex toys on the genitals (e.g., the vaginal area) for sexual stimulation can lead to irritation or inflammation of the skin near the genitals (or vaginal area).Furthermore, the use of these sex toys to provide sexual pleasure is quite limited and they are not specifically designed to accommodate the different physiologies (or arousal levels) of different users. Therefore, such sex toys may not provide users with the desired and satisfying sexual pleasure.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a sexual stimulation device to provide improved sexual pleasure in order to overcome one or more of the above-mentioned limitations and to offer additional technical advantages. SUMMARY

Accordingly, this description of the present disclosure is set forth without any loss of generality and without any limitations of the present disclosure.

[0013] Various exemplary implementations of the present disclosure are described below with reference to Fig. 1A-1C to Fig. 5 described.

[0014] Fig. 1A, Fig. 1B and Fig. Figure 1C shows perspective views of a sexual stimulation device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The sexual stimulation device 100 is operated to provide sexual stimulation to the genitals of users. As shown, the sexual stimulation device 100 can include at least one phallic wave (or phallus-shaped configuration) for genital stimulation. Specifically, the sexual stimulation device 100 is configured with stimulation elements to simultaneously stimulate one or more erogenous zones and / or the genitals. In an example scenario, the sexual stimulation device 100 can be used by female users to stimulate one or more erogenous zones of the female genitals (such as the clitoris and the vaginal area).

[0015] The sexual stimulation device 100 comprises a housing 102. The housing 102 includes a first section 104, a second section 106, and a connecting element 108. The connecting element 108 joins the first section 104 and the second section 106. The connecting element 108 is made of flexible materials, such as polymers, rubber, and the like. The flexible connecting element 108 allows the sexual stimulation device 100 to be temporarily deformed for operation. In other words, the flexible connecting element 108 allows the first section 104 and the second section 106 to be arranged in different orientations to provide sexual stimulation according to feasibility and user requirements.

[0016] Furthermore, the first section 104 corresponds to a stimulation section of the sexual stimulation device 100. The first section 104 is configured to provide sexual stimulation for a user. In other words, the first section 104 can be configured with an optimal length sufficient to adequately stimulate various erogenous regions and / or zones of the genitals. In some embodiments, the first section 104 can be configured with protrusions, ribs, bumps, indentations, or other impressions to enhance sexual pleasure. The housing 102, including the first section 104, the second section 106, and the connecting element 108, can be configured with materials that are safe for use on human skin. For example, the housing 102 can be made of materials such as, but not limited to, thermoplastics, porcelain, borosilicates, and the like.

[0017] The sexual stimulation device 100 comprises a cover element 110 configured to cover at least part of the housing 102 (as shown in Fig. (1C shown). The cover element 110 is made of silicone. In other words, the silicone cover element 110 is inserted over the housing 102 to cover at least part of the housing 102. The silicone (or the cover element 110) inserted over the housing 102 provides the user with a trouble-free experience when using the sexual stimulation device 100. Furthermore, the cover element 110 inserted over the housing 102 prevents the ingress of bodily fluids into the housing 102.

[0018] The sexual stimulation device 100 further comprises an optical effect generating element 112. The optical effect generating element 112 is configured in the second section 106. In other words, the optical effect generating element 112 is mounted on a first side 114 of the second section 106. The second section 106 further comprises a second side 116. The second side 116 can be oriented towards the user during operation of the sexual stimulation device 100. To keep the connecting element 108 of the sexual stimulation device 100, which is worn by the female user, stable, at least one cord (see 502 in Fig. 5) be provided to adapt the second side 116 of the optical effect generating element 112 to the user's skin and wrap it around the user's waist to wear it as an accessory (as in Fig. 5 shown).

[0019] Fig. Figure 2 shows an exploded view of the sexual stimulation device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The first section 104 is adapted to support stimulation components of the sexual stimulation device 100. Specifically, the sexual stimulation device 100 includes an actuator (see 202). The actuator 202 can be arranged in the first section 104 of the sexual stimulation device 100. The actuator 202 can include at least one motor configured to operate the first section 104 (or the sexual stimulation device 100) in a variety of stimulation modes.

[0020] Furthermore, the sexual stimulation device 100 comprises a radiating illumination element 204, a control circuit 206, and a power source 208. The power source 208 is arranged in the housing 102. The radiating illumination element 204 is also arranged in the housing 102. Specifically, the radiating illumination element 204 and the control circuit 206 are arranged in the second section 106 (as shown in Figure 1). Fig. (3A shown). Furthermore, the radiating illumination element 204 is operationally coupled to the optical effect generating element 112 and the control circuit 206. The radiating illumination element 204 is configured to emit a first light source onto the optical effect generating element, which will be explained in more detail below. The radiating illumination element 204 can include light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (e.g., red, blue, green (RGB) LEDs). The radiating illumination element 204, including the LEDs, can form at least one dot matrix display. Furthermore, the control circuit 206 can include electronic components (such as a printed circuit board (PCB)), a processing module, including one or more processing units (e.g., in a single-core or multi-core configuration) to perform one or more of the operations described herein.

[0021] Furthermore, the power source 208 is configured to provide power (or electrical power) to the actuator 202, the radiating illumination element 204, and the control circuit 206 to operate the sexual stimulation device 100 from an OFF state to an ON state. In particular, the user can input (press) a power switch (see 118 in Fig. 1B) provide to operate the sexual stimulation device 100, to put the sexual stimulation device 100 into the ON state and the OFF state.

[0022] In one embodiment, the power source 208 is configured to provide an alternating current output or a direct current output. In one embodiment, the power source 208 comprises a direct current source, such as a rechargeable battery (e.g., a lithium-ion battery), which can be operated to provide the electrical power required to operate the actuator 202, the radiating lighting element 204, the control circuit 206, and the like. Furthermore, the power source 208 may include electrical and / or electronic components or circuits to enable the use of wired or wireless charging. In one embodiment, the sexual stimulation device 100 may include a charging port (not shown in the figures) to allow connection to an external power source for charging the power source 208 (e.g., the rechargeable battery).For example, the charging port can be a magnetic charging port. Alternatively, the sexual stimulation device 100 can include a conventional charging port such as, but not limited to, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-A port, a USB Type-B port, or a Micro-USB Type-B port. In some embodiments, the power source 208 can include electrical and / or electronic components or circuits to enable the use of alternating current to provide the electrical power required to operate components such as the actuator 202, the control circuit 206, the radiating illumination element 204, and the like.

[0023] With reference to Fig. 3A in conjunction with Fig. Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the sexual stimulation device 100, illustrating the coupling of the radiating illumination element 204, the control circuit 206, and the optical effect generating element 112. As shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 3A, the optical effect generating element 112 comprises a first optical layer 302 and a second optical layer 304. The optical effect generating element 112 is mounted on the second section 106 of the housing 102, as explained above. The optical effect generating element 112 can be a sheet-shaped component. The first optical layer 302 is exposed to an external environment, and the second optical layer 304 is located within the second section 106 of the housing 102. In other words, the optical effect generating element 112 covers the radiating illumination element 204, such that the second optical layer 304 is oriented towards the radiating illumination element 204.Furthermore, the optical effect generating element 112 is configured to generate at least one optical effect through the first optical layer 302, based on the reception of at least one light source on at least the first optical layer 302 and the second optical layer 304, which will be explained in more detail below.

[0024] In one scenario, the optical effect generating element 112 is configured to receive visible light directed at the first optical layer 302. The visible light directed at the first optical layer 302 can be considered a second light source of the at least one light source. The optical effect generating element 112 is configured to generate a second optical effect of the at least one optical effect at the first optical layer 302 in response to the second light source. It should be noted that the first optical layer 302 generates the second optical effect based on whether the sexual stimulation device 100 is in the ON state or the OFF state. In other words, the first optical layer 302 generates the second optical effect regardless of whether the sexual stimulation device 100 is in the ON state or the OFF state.This is because the second light source is received from the external environment. Furthermore, the first optical layer 302 generates the second optical effect in response to the second light source based on one or more optical properties of the first optical layer 302. The optical properties associated with the first optical layer 302 may include, but are not limited to, reflection, refraction, dispersion, and scattering. Therefore, the second light source is either reflected, refracted, or scattered by the first optical layer 302 to provide the second optical effect.In one example, the first optical layer 302 can be coated with a coating material, which can be achieved by vapor deposition, spraying, or plating, or alternatively by applying in-mold decoration, a ChromaFlair coating, or an anodic coating material to form an optical effect layer (i.e., the first optical layer 302) capable of producing the second optical effect, such as reflection, diffraction, and scattering effects. In summary, the scenario described above is not limited by the production process of the optical effect-generating element 112, as long as it can realize the rainbow effect exhibited by the first optical layer 302.

[0025] In another example, the optical effect generating element 112 can be manufactured using luminescent ceramics, whereby the optical effect generating element 112 provides the second optical effect for a predetermined time (e.g., 12 hours) after absorbing visible light (or the second light source) for 10 to 20 minutes. Typically, luminescent ceramics incorporate high-tech luminescent colors into the traditional ceramic glaze. This optical effect generating element 112 is manufactured by melting the luminescent colors into the glaze and firing at high temperatures. The optical effect generating element 112, manufactured using the luminescent ceramic material, absorbs various forms of natural light, such as sunlight or other diffuse light sources, and retains the absorbed light energy to generate the second optical effect, as explained above.

[0026] Additionally, the optical effect generating element 112 may include a one-way mirror or other material combinations that can provide similar functions. It should be noted that, as long as it is possible to achieve the optical effect when the radiating illumination element 204 is switched off (or operated in an OFF state), a light-guiding element (see 210 in Fig. 2), which is covered by the optical effect generating element 112, is difficult to observe with the naked eye.

[0027] In another scenario, the optical effect generating element 112 is configured to generate a first optical effect of at least one optical effect in response to receiving a first light source of at least one light source emitted by the radiating illumination element 204. The control circuit 206 is configured to operate at least the radiating illumination element 204 to emit the first light source onto the second optical layer 304 of the optical effect generating element 112. The radiating illumination element 204 can emit white light, monochromatic light, or mixed-color light. It should be noted that the control circuit 206 operates the radiating illumination element 204 to emit the first light source based on the operation of the sexual stimulation device 100 in the ON state.

[0028] Additionally, the sexual stimulation device 100 includes the light conduction element (see 210 in Fig. 2), which is arranged in the housing 102. The light-guiding element 210 is arranged between the second optical layer 304 and the radiating illumination element 204 (as shown in Fig. (3A shown). For example, the light-guiding element 210 can be made using materials such as acrylic or polycarbonate. Furthermore, such materials can be mixed with white pigment to create a frosted effect, so that the radiating illumination element 204 is continuously reflected by the white pigment after being emitted into the light-guiding element 210, forming a diffuse reflection effect. The light-guiding element 210 is operationally coupled to the radiating illumination element 204 and the second optical layer 304 of the optical effect-generating element 112. The light-guiding element 210 is configured to direct the first light source emanating from the radiating illumination element 204 onto the second optical layer 304 of the optical effect-generating element 112.

[0029] In some cases, light may escape from the side edges of the light-guiding element 210. In such cases, the light emitted by the light-guiding element 210 cannot be fully focused onto the second optical layer 304. To solve the aforementioned technical problems, a cover element 310 can be used to cover the side wall of the light-guiding element 210. The cover element 310 can be a layer of opaque film or another material capable of preventing light escape.

[0030] In some cases, the light guide element 210 can pass through a hole (see 312 in Fig. 3B) of the housing 102. In such a case, a first edge (see 314 in Fig. 3B) of the light-guiding element 210 is glued to the edge of the hole 312 to prevent liquid from entering the housing 102. Additionally, a second edge (see 212 in Fig. 2) The cover element 110 is firmly fitted to a third edge 214 of the optical effect generating element 112 to further enhance the waterproof performance of the sexual stimulation device 100. Unlike the cover element 110 (made of silicone), which directly covers the light-guiding element 210 or the radiating illumination element 204, this cover element 210 prevents the color of the light emitted by the radiating illumination element 204 from being affected. Furthermore, the cover element 210 prevents water from entering the interior of the housing 102.

[0031] In some cases, the top surface of the light-guiding element 210 can be positioned between the first optical layer 302 and the second optical layer 304, or even further, with the light-guiding element 210 and the optical effect-generating element 112 being integrally formed. In such a case, the light emitted by the radiating illumination element 204, which is located within the housing 102, can be directed onto the entire surface of the first optical layer 302.

[0032] Additionally, the optical effect generating element 112, the light guide element 210, and the radiating illumination element 204 can be completely replaced by a display, such as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. The signals and power supply lines of the OLED display can be connected to the control circuit 206 after passing through the hole 103 in the housing 102. Once the OLED display is installed, the power source 208 can be connected to the control circuit 206, which then supplies power to the OLED display. The control circuit 206 will also be able to control the OLED display to emit radiant light, as described above.

[0033] Furthermore, the optical effect generating element 112 is configured to generate the first optical effect of the at least one optical effect through the first optical layer 304 in response to the first light source (e.g., white light, monochromatic light, or mixed-color light) emitted by the radiating illumination element 204 onto the second optical layer 304. It should be noted that the first light source directed at the second optical layer 304 is transmitted from the second optical layer 304 to the first optical layer 302 to cause the first optical effect. Similarly, the first optical layer 302 generates the first optical effect in response to the first light source based on one or more optical properties of the first optical layer 302.Therefore, the first light source is either reflected, refracted or scattered by the first optical layer 302 to provide the first optical effect.

[0034] In another scenario, the first optical layer 302 can simultaneously receive the first and second light sources and generate the corresponding first and second optical effects, as explained above. In this scenario, the first optical layer 302 generates a third optical effect by superimposing the first and second optical effects on the first optical layer 302 based on at least one or more optical properties associated with the first optical layer 302.

[0035] Furthermore, the control circuit 206 is configured to monitor at least one operating parameter of the sexual stimulation device 100 related to providing sexual stimulation to one or more of the user's erogenous zones. This at least one operating parameter may include, but is not limited to, operating speed, rotation, intensity, and stimulation pattern. The operating parameters of the sexual stimulation device 100 can be adjusted based on the operation of the actuator 202. It should be noted that the control circuit 206 adjusts the operating parameters of the actuator 202 to operate the sexual stimulation device 100 (or the first section 104) in the multitude of stimulation modes.The variety of stimulation modes can include, but is not limited to, vibration stimulation, oscillating stimulation, tapping stimulation, snapping stimulation, vibration stimulation, reciprocating stimulation, and suction stimulation.

[0036] The control circuit 206 is configured to dynamically control the radiating lighting element 204 in real time to emit the first light source based on at least one operating parameter of the sexual stimulation device 100 related to providing sexual stimulation to the user. For example, the radiating lighting element 206 dynamically adjusts the parameters (e.g., wavelength, frequency, and light pattern) of the first light source 204 depending on the intensity of the operation of the actuator 202 of the sexual stimulation device 100. Furthermore, the dynamic control of the radiating lighting element 204 for emitting the first light source indicates a stimulation mode from the multitude of stimulation modes of the sexual stimulation device 100 that corresponds to the at least one operating parameter.For example, the first light source, including the red light, can include vibration stimulation, the orange light indicates oscillating stimulation, and so on.

[0037] Furthermore, the sexual stimulation device 100 can have at least one sensor (see 120 in Fig. 1B) comprising, which is arranged in the housing 102. The at least one sensor 120 may include a biosensor. In one embodiment, the sensors 120 are installed in the second section 106 of the sexual stimulation device 100. The sensors 120 are operationally coupled to the control circuit 206. The sensors 120 are configured to determine at least one physiological parameter of the user. The user's physiological parameters may include heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, body temperature, and the like. The sensors 120 may implement an optical technique (e.g., photoplethysmography (PPG)) for measuring the user's heart rate while the user uses the sexual stimulation device 100 to experience sexual stimulation. Generally, blood reflects red light and absorbs green light due to its color.Furthermore, the sensor 120 can include a light source configured to emit green light and photodiodes (not shown in the figures). Therefore, when the heart beats, blood flows into the user's wrist and absorbs the green light emitted by the light source. Thus, the heart rate is monitored based on the number of flashes of green light by the photodiodes of the sensor 120. The user's heart rate (i.e., the physiological parameter) is communicated to the control circuit 206. In another embodiment, the sensor 120 can be a separate component located externally to the sexual stimulation device 100 and communicatively coupled to the control circuit 206 via a wired or wireless communication protocol.In both scenarios, the control circuit 206 is configured to dynamically control the radiating lighting element 204 in order to emit the first light source according to at least one physiological parameter (e.g., heart rate) of the user.

[0038] Fig. 4A, Fig. 4B and Fig. Figure 4C shows example scenarios of the optical effect generating element 112 for generating the at least one optical effect in response to the at least one light source according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0039] With reference to Fig. 4A The optical effect generating element 112 (or the second optical layer 304) receives a first light source 402 emitted by the radiating illumination element 204. The first light source 402 can be the white light, the monochromatic light, or the mixed-color light emitted by the radiating illumination element 204. The first light source 402 is transmitted from the second optical layer 304 to the first optical layer 302 via optical transmission. In response to the first light source 402, the first optical layer 302 generates a first optical effect (see 404) of at least one optical effect. For illustration, the first optical effect 404 is represented as an area enclosed by the solid lines on the first optical layer 302.The area enclosed by the solid lines corresponds to the area of ​​the first light source 402, which is reflected / refracted / scattered by the first optical layer 302. The first optical effect 404 is generated based on the optical properties of the first optical layer 302, as explained above. The generation of the first optical effect 404 has already been described in detail with reference to [reference missing]. Fig. 1A-1C up to Fig. Sections 3A-3B are explained, therefore they are not repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0040] With reference to Fig. 4B The optical effect generating element 112 (or the first optical layer 302) receives a second light source 412. The second light source 412 can be the ambient light of the sexual stimulation device 100. In response to the second light source 412, the first optical layer 302 generates a second optical effect (see 414) of the at least one optical effect. For illustration, the second optical effect 414 is shown as an area enclosed by the dashed lines on the first optical layer 302. The second optical effect 414 is generated based on the optical properties of the first optical layer 302, as explained above. In addition, the second light source 412 (or visible light) generates dispersion and / or different wavelengths of visible light interfere with each other to emit rainbow colors. The generation of the second optical effect 414 has already been described in detail with reference to Fig. 1A-1C up to Fig. Sections 3A-3B are explained, therefore they are not repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0041] With reference to Fig. In 4C, the first optical effect 404 and the second optical effect 414, which are generated by the first optical layer 302 in response to the first light source 402 and the second light source 404 respectively, are superimposed on the first optical layer 302. Specifically, the first optical layer 302 superimposes the first optical effect 404 and the second optical effect 414 to generate a third optical effect 420 on the first optical layer 302. For illustration, the third optical effect 420 is represented as a region of the first optical effect 404 that overlaps with the second optical effect 414 on the first optical layer 302. Furthermore, the generation of the third optical effect 420 has already been described in detail with reference to Fig. 1A-1C up to Fig.Sections 3A-3B are explained, therefore they are not repeated here for the sake of brevity.
