[0035] The following detailed description and accompanying drawings describe and illustrate various example devices suitable for use as personal massagers. The description and accompanying drawings provided herein enable a person skilled in the art to make and use one or more example personal massagers. They are not intended to limit the scope of the claims in any way.

[0036] Figure 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 illustrate a personal massager 2 and / or one or more components thereof. The personal massager 2 includes a main body 10, a housing 100, a first motor 200, a second motor 250, a first sensor 300, a second sensor 330, a third sensor (not shown), a controller 400, a battery 450 and various other components that will be described in more detail below.

[0037] The body 10 is an elongated tubular shape having a first end 12, a second end 14, and a middle portion 16 extending from the first end 12 to the second end 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the first end 12 is open and the second end 14 is closed. The first end 12 and the second end 14 are both substantially circular, and the first end 12 has an opening 18, which is also substantially circular. The first end 12 and the opening 18 cooperate to allow a user to insert a portion of himself into the cavity 46 of the body 10, such as a finger or other human tissue. The middle portion 16 of the body 10 is substantially cylindrical and contains various components described below. The opening 18 also defines a first diameter d1. In the illustrated embodiment, the second end 14 and the middle portion 16 of the body 10 are composed of plastic, while the first end 12 is composed of silicone. The first end 12 also includes a set of ridges 13. An experienced technician will be able to select appropriate body components according to a particular example based on various considerations, including the size and shape of the potential human tissue, the desired body length, and the desired body weight. In other embodiments, the first end, the second end and the middle portion of the body can be made of any suitable material. In various embodiments, the body can have any shape, including conical, pyramidal, box-shaped and any other suitable shape. In different embodiments, the opening of the first end can have any shape, including triangular, elliptical, olive, square, rectangular and pentagonal. In other embodiments, the first diameter can be between about 4 centimeters ("cm") and about 16 centimeters, between about 6 centimeters and about 14 centimeters, between about 8 centimeters and about 12 centimeters. In additional embodiments, the length of the body from the first end to the second end can be between about 8 cm and about 30 cm, between about 12 cm and about 26 cm, between about 16 cm and about 22 cm. In other embodiments, the first end may not have a ridge.

[0038] The body 10 also includes an elongated flexible sheath 30 disposed therein, the sheath 30 having a proximal end 32, a distal end 34, a middle portion 35 extending from the proximal end 32 to the distal end 34, an inner surface 36, and an outer surface 38. The proximal end 32 is connected to the first end 12 and has an opening 40, the diameter of which is only slightly smaller than the diameter of the first end 12. The opening 40 is substantially circular in shape and provides a way to access a cavity 46 defined by the proximal end 32, the distal end 34, and the middle portion 35 and extending from the proximal end 32 to the distal end 34. The proximal end 32 is used to allow a user to insert their tissue into the sheath 30 through the opening 40, such that the distal end of the human tissue will be adjacent to the distal end 34, the proximal end of the tissue will be adjacent to the proximal end 32, and the shaft of the tissue will be placed along the middle portion 35. The diameter of the sheath 30 decreases along its length, and stops decreasing approximately halfway between the proximal end 32 and the distal end 34. Once in this position, the diameter of the sheath 30 increases as it extends toward the distal end 34 until reaching a second diameter d2, which is the maximum diameter of the distal end 34 of the sheath 30. The diameter of the distal end 34 of the sheath 30 then gradually decreases from the maximum diameter of the sheath 30 to the sheath tip 42. This structure conforms to the size and shape of typical human tissue, providing maximum contact and pleasure to the human tissue once the sheath 30 is inserted.

[0039] In the illustrated embodiment, the sheath 30 is made of silicone. Silicone is a high-quality medical grade silicone that is resistant to bacteria. It is soft enough to provide a pleasant sensation to the user, while also being durable enough to be used repeatedly. As shown, the inner surface 36 of the sheath 30 may optionally be provided with grooves 44 extending along the middle portion 35. The grooves 44 are used to increase stimulation to the user, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0040] In addition, the main body 10 includes a first support column 48 and a second support column 49 disposed in the cavity 20 of the main body 10. The first support column 48 and the second support column 49 extend from the middle portion 16 of the main body 10 to the outer surface 38 of the middle portion 35 of the sheath 30. The first support column 48 and the second support column 49 are used to maintain the position of the sheath 30 in the main body 10, and the first support column 48 and the second support column 49 are made of plastic coated with silicone.

[0041] An experienced technician will be able to appropriately configure the sheath according to a particular example based on various considerations, including the desired length of the sheath and the desired feel of the inner surface of the sheath. In other embodiments, the sheath can be composed of any suitable material, such as one or more rubber bands and / or elastic materials, instead of silicone; any suitable material can be used. In various embodiments, the sheath can have any shape, including cone, pyramid, box, and any other suitable shape. In alternative embodiments, the diameter of the sheath can be uniform along its length, can be gradually reduced from the proximal end to the distal end, can be gradually increased from the proximal end to the distal end, and can also fluctuate along the middle portion. In different embodiments, the opening at the proximal end can have any shape, including triangle, olive, oval, square, rectangular, and pentagon. In other embodiments, the second diameter can be between about 4 centimeters ("cm") and about 16 cm, between about 6 cm and about 14 cm, between about 8 cm and about 12 cm. In additional embodiments, the length of the sheath from the proximal end to the distal end can be between about 8 cm and about 20 cm, between about 10 cm and about 18 cm, and between about 12 cm and about 16 cm. In alternative embodiments, the first support column and the second support column can be omitted, there can be one, three or more support columns, and the support column can be composed of any suitable material.

[0042] The personal massager further includes a housing 100, which is connected to and surrounds the main portion of the body 10. The housing 100 includes a first end 102, a second end 104, a middle portion 106 extending from the first end 102 to the second end 104, and an end portion 108 defining a portion of the second end 104. The housing 100 is substantially cylindrical in shape like the body 10, and has an open first end 102 and a closed second end 104. The housing 100 is disposed around the main portion of the body 10. The first end 102 of the housing 100 is substantially adjacent to the first end 12 of the body 10, while the second end 104 and the end portion 108 of the housing 100 are substantially adjacent to the second end 14 of the body 10. Therefore, the middle portion 106 of the housing 100 is adjacent to the middle portion 16 of the body 10. The first end 102 has an opening (not shown in the figure), which allows the body 10 to be placed in the housing 100 during assembly. However, in the illustrated embodiment, once assembled, the body 10 cannot be removed from the housing 100. The diameter of the opening of the housing 100 is slightly larger than the diameter of the middle portion 16 of the body 10. The housing 100 is tightly fitted with the body 10. The housing 100 can be fixed to the body 10 by any suitable mechanism. An experienced technician will be able to configure the housing appropriately according to a specific example based on various considerations, including the size and shape of the body, the required length and thickness of the housing, and the required weight of the personal massager. In various embodiments, the housing can have any shape that can surround the body, including cones, pyramids, boxes, and other suitable shapes. In different embodiments, the housing can surround only a portion of the body, can constitute a portion of the body, and / or can extend to the first end of the body. In additional embodiments, the length of the housing from the first end to the second end can be between about 10 cm and about 34 cm, between about 16 cm and about 30 cm, and between about 20 cm and about 26 cm. In other embodiments, the housing can be connected to the body by an adhesive or any physical mechanism (such as a hook or similar component that can fix the device components together).

[0043] In the illustrated embodiment, the housing 100 is comprised primarily of aluminum; indeed, the middle portion 106 and a majority of the outer surface 110 thereof are comprised of aluminum. However, the end portion 108 is comprised of silicone, which contacts a portion of the middle portion 106 adjacent the distal end 104. However, in other embodiments, any portion of the housing may be comprised of silicone, aluminum, or any other suitable material. An experienced technician will be able to select a suitable material for the housing according to a particular example based on various considerations, including whether the end portion has a purpose other than structural use and the shape and size of the body. In various embodiments, all or a portion of the housing may be comprised of a variety of materials, including plastic and / or one or more metals, and the end portion may be comprised of any suitable material, including an elastomeric material, a metal, or a plastic.

[0044] Optionally, as shown in the illustrated embodiment, the main body 10 and the housing 100 are cooperatively provided with a viewing panel 120. Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, the housing 100 is provided with a first window 122 extending along its middle portion 106, and the main body 10 is provided with a second window 98 extending along its middle portion 16. The first window 122 and the second window 98 match so that the user can see the various components (such as the various sensors and motors described below) disposed in the main body 10. Therefore, the viewing panel 120 is composed of the first window 122 and the second window 98. In this embodiment, the personal massager 2 includes a plastic cover 124, which is tightly fitted with the viewing panel 120 portion of the personal massager 2. The cover 124 forms a protective seal for the personal massager 2, which helps prevent external debris or other materials from entering the interior of the device. The viewing panel 120 is a rounded rectangular shape, and in the embodiment shown, the cover 124 is not removable. Experienced technicians will be able to select components suitable for the viewing panel and assemble a suitable viewing panel according to a specific example based on various considerations, including whether a viewing panel is required and the shape and size of the required viewing panel. In other embodiments, the personal massager can be provided with zero, two, three, four or more viewing panels. In various embodiments, the viewing panel can have any shape, including circular, rectangular, triangular, pentagonal, and oval. In alternative embodiments, the cover can be made of any suitable material and can be removable or non-removable. In various embodiments, the window can be located anywhere on the personal massager.

[0045] The end 108 forms part of the second end 104 of the housing 100 and is substantially adjacent to the second end 14 of the body 10. The end 108 includes a user control group located on its lower surface 109, the user control group including a first user control 112, a second user control 114 and a third user control 116, which communicate with the controller 400 to operate the personal massager 2. The first user control 112 allows the user to turn on the device power and select specific settings for the device (i.e., high frequency, low frequency, specific mode, etc.). It also allows the user to turn off the device power. The second user control 114 allows the user to increase the speed and / or intensity of the vibration generated by the first motor 200 and / or the second motor 250. The third user control 116 allows the user to reduce the speed and / or intensity of the vibration generated by the first motor 200 and / or the second motor 250. The end 108 also includes a charging port 118 so that the user can charge the battery 450, as described below. Optionally, the charging port 118 may include a cover 118a, as shown in the figure, to prevent dust and debris from entering the charging port 118. The cover 118a is formed by a portion of the end 108. In various embodiments, zero, one, two, four, or more user controls may be included, and they may control the operation of any aspect of the device. In various embodiments, the charging port may also be covered by a flap or other covering.

[0046] As previously mentioned, the body 10 includes various internal components. One of the components is the controller 400. The controller 400 is disposed adjacent to the second end 14 of the body 10. Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown. The controller 400 can activate at least the first motor 200, the second motor 250, the first sensor 300, the second sensor 330 and the third sensor after receiving the control signal, and the controller 400 is powered by a battery 450, as described below. For example, the controller 400 can change the stimulation wave and / or vibration generated by the first motor 200 and the second motor 250 by changing the rate, intensity and / or duration output by the first motor 200 and the second motor 250. In the illustrated embodiment, the controller 400 is composed of a printed circuit board; however, in other embodiments, it can be composed of any suitable device and / or material. Suitable examples include printed circuit boards and circuit boards. The controller 400 includes a memory capable of storing multiple preset stimulation modes. For example, the controller 400 can store stimulation modes with different intensities (e.g., low, medium, and high), stimulation modes that may include various stimulation pulses, and / or stimulation modes that include alternating stimulation periods and non-stimulation periods. In addition, the controller 400 allows the user to select the stimulation mode and its intensity through the first user control 112, the second user control 114, and the third user control 116, as described above. Optionally, the controller 400 can also be programmed by the user to store stimulation patterns that are particularly suitable for the user or created by the user. In addition, in other embodiments, the controller can be controlled by an external signal source (not shown), such as a remote control or a wireless signal transmitted by one or more mobile phones, tablets, computers, or other similar devices. The external signal source can provide the controller with stimulation patterns that are not stored in the controller memory.

[0047] In this embodiment, the controller 400 may be connected to an interface 410 that allows the controller to communicate with a second device, such as a personal computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other electronic device (not shown). Using the interface 410, the personal massager 2 can send information to other devices so that other devices can collect data related to the use of the personal massager 2. In addition, in some embodiments, the personal massager can receive control signals from another device that can indicate that the personal massager should be turned on or off, increase or decrease speed, switch to a different vibration mode, and / or switch to a specific mode specified by the user or recommended by other devices, as well as other instructions. The interface 410 can be a wired or wireless interface, such as a wireless transceiver that transmits control signals between the personal massager and the second device. An experienced technician will be able to select an appropriate interface according to a particular example based on various considerations, including the device with which the personal massager will communicate and the size and shape of the body. In some embodiments, the interface is a radio frequency ("RF") transceiver for sending and receiving radio frequency signals between the personal massager and other devices. One example of a radio frequency transceiver that can be used is a low power 2.4 GHz radio frequency transceiver. In various embodiments, the personal massager may also include an antenna for sending and receiving signals between the personal massager and other devices. In such embodiments, the interface may use Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, infrared, laser light, visible light, acoustic energy, or many other methods to wirelessly transmit information between the personal massager and other devices.

[0048] In some embodiments, the personal massager is connected to the network via a second device. In other embodiments, the personal massager is directly connected to a wireless router or mobile phone network and can be connected to the second device in any of the described ways. Thus, the personal massager can be controlled by a personal computer, tablet computer, mobile phone, or other suitable electronic device used by the user in various embodiments. Such a design is as follows Fig.12 shown.

[0049] Fig.12is a network diagram of the components of a personal massager according to an example embodiment (e.g., personal massager 2). In this embodiment, personal massager 2 includes a controller (e.g., controller 400), one or more motors (e.g., first motor 200 and second motor 250), one or more sensors (e.g., first sensor 300, second sensor 330, and third sensor), and an interface (e.g., interface 410). As described above, the personal massager can be connected to the network through a personal computer, tablet computer, mobile phone, or other electronic device, or can be directly connected to the network through a wireless router or mobile phone network. Therefore, as previously described, the personal massager can be controlled by, transmit data to, and / or receive data from a personal computer, tablet computer, mobile phone, or other electronic device through the above mechanism. An experienced technician will be able to determine how to appropriately connect the personal massager to other devices according to a specific example based on various considerations, including the desirability of doing so and the devices that are beneficial to connect. In some embodiments, the personal massager may not include an interface and therefore may not communicate with other devices. In different embodiments, the personal massager may only transmit data to other devices; it may not receive any data and cannot be controlled by the other devices described in this embodiment.

[0050] The body 10 also contains a battery 450. The battery 450 is adjacent to the second end 14 of the body 10 and is closer to the end 108 than the distal end 34 of the sheath 30. The battery 450 can be connected to a charging port 118 disposed on the end 108. The battery 450 powers and is electrically connected to at least the first motor 200, the second motor 250, the first sensor 300, the second sensor 330, the third sensor and the controller 400. In the illustrated embodiment, the battery 450 is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. In this embodiment, the battery 450 is charged through the charging port 118 disposed under the optional cover 118a. Experienced technicians will be able to select a suitable battery according to a specific example and place it in an appropriate position within the body based on various considerations, including the required motor strength and the size and shape of the body. In other embodiments, the battery can be a lithium battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, or some other type of rechargeable battery. In an alternative embodiment, the battery may not be rechargeable, but replaceable. In another embodiment, the personal massager may include multiple batteries.

[0051] The battery 450 is capable of maintaining a certain amount of energy for use when a certain condition is detected (hereinafter referred to as "reserve power"). More specifically, the battery 450 stores a portion of the power and distributes the stored power to the first motor 200 after the first sensor 300 detects a decrease in the rotation rate of the drive shaft 402, so as to keep the motor 400 running during the period when the load is applied to the personal massager 2. Experienced technicians will be able to select the appropriate energy including the reserve power according to a specific example based on various considerations, including the required motor strength and the size and shape of the housing. In one embodiment, the battery can store a reserve power of about 1% to about 50% of the total storage capacity of the battery. In another embodiment, the battery can store a reserve power of about 10% to about 35% of the total storage capacity of the battery. In another embodiment, the battery can store a reserve power of about 15% to about 25% of the total storage capacity of the battery. In another embodiment, the battery does not store a reserve power.

[0052] The first motor 200 is specifically as follows Figure 8 As shown. The first motor 200 is disposed in the cavity 20 of the main body 10 and is substantially adjacent to the second end 14 of the main body 10. Therefore, the first motor 200 is also substantially adjacent to the distal end 34 of the sheath 30, so that when in operation, the first motor 200 provides stimulation to the tip, head and / or end of human tissue. The first motor 200 includes a shell 202 that fixes the first motor 200 in the main body 10, and a cam 204 and a rod 206 that help generate and transmit vibrations and pulsations. The rod 206 extends toward the distal end 34 of the sheath 30 and contacts the outer surface 38 of the sheath 30 to stimulate the human tissue located in the cavity 46. A magnetic unit (not shown in the figure) is connected to the rod 206. Therefore, when the first motor 200 is working, the movement of the rod 206 generates stimulation waves, which are transmitted to the cavity 46. Through permutations and combinations, the stimulation waves include a variety of stimulation patterns transmitted to the sheath 30.

[0053] The operation of the first motor 200 causes the rod 206 to rotate about its longitudinal axis (not shown), which passes through the center of the rod 206 and extends along its length; the rotation of the rod 206 generates stimulation waves to produce a variety of stimulation patterns. Depending on the specific rotation pattern of the rod 206, the stimulation patterns can be constant or variable; they can also have burst intensity and / or variable duration. The controller 400 transmits the user-selected stimulation pattern signal to the first motor 200, which then implements this selection. Experienced technicians will be able to select a suitable first motor according to a specific example based on various considerations, including the position of the first motor relative to the device portion used to emit stimulation and the type of stimulation pattern generated by the device. In some embodiments, the first motor is an electric motor. In other embodiments, the rod can rotate at any rate, including about 1000 revolutions per minute ("rpm") to about 5000 rpm, about 2000 rpm to about 4000 rpm, about 2500 rpm to about 3500 rpm. In other embodiments, the magnetic unit may be connected to the rod by any mechanical means or adhesive; it may also be disposed inside the rod. In various embodiments, the magnetic unit may include one, two, three or more individual magnets. In other embodiments, the first motor may be an oscillating motor.

[0054] Depending on the particular type of stimulation waves emitted, the first motor 200 can create a vacuum (or partial vacuum) within the cavity 46, which can produce a suction-like effect on a portion of human tissue when it is partially or completely placed in the cavity 46. A vacuum is particularly likely to occur when a user uses the personal massager 2 and their human tissue is thick and / or large enough to seal one or both of the openings 40 of the proximal end 32 of the sheath 30 and / or the openings 18 of the first end 12 of the body 10. Even without a seal, the user's human tissue is still subject to a suction-like effect. The inner surface 36 of the sheath 30 is configured so that the inner surface 36 can act as a diaphragm, in some cases, similar to a speaker that emits audio. Therefore, the first motor 200 is closer to the human tissue when in use than when not in use. The first motor 200 can also be used to generate other stimulation waves and stimulation patterns. In addition, the configuration of the personal massager 2 can be such that when the waves generated by the first motor 200 are transmitted to the body part of the user placed in the cavity 46, the stimulation waves and / or vibrations can be reflected to the inner surface 36 of the sheath 30 after contacting the user, and then reflected to the user. This will provide the user with unpredictable additional stimulation because the reflected waves are not reflected in a consistent manner. Experienced technicians will be able to select a suitable first motor according to a specific example based on various considerations, including the placement of the first motor relative to the sheath and the type of stimulation pattern emitted by the device design. In other embodiments, the first motor can only generate stimulation waves to produce a suction-like effect in the body. In different embodiments, the first motor can only generate stimulation waves to expel air from the cavity of the body. In another embodiment, the first motor generates vibrations and / or pulsations that do not inhale or expel air. In various embodiments, the first motor can generate suitable vibrations and / or pulsations with a frequency between about 10 Hz and about 150 Hz, between about 40 Hz and about 120 Hz, and between about 70 Hz and about 90 Hz. In other embodiments, the pulses of the first motor may be between about 500 and about 5000 times / minute, between about 1500 and about 4000 times / minute, between about 3200 and about 3800 times / minute. In other embodiments, the device does not generate a vacuum, but stimulates the user only by generating stimulation waves, pulsations and / or vibrations.

[0055] The second sensor 330 is disposed in the body 10 and adjacent to the first motor 200 located on the inner surface of the middle portion 16 . Figure 8The second sensor 330 is most clearly illustrated. The second sensor 330 is used to detect the frequency of the rotation of the rod 206 in a given time period by monitoring the number of times the magnetic unit passes the second sensor 330. In various embodiments, any suitable second sensor can be used, as long as the sensor used can detect the position of the magnetic unit in real time and send the detected information to the controller. An example suitable for use as the second sensor is a Hall effect sensor (sometimes referred to as a Hall sensor).

[0056] When a load is placed on the personal massager, such as when a user presses the first end 12 of the body 10 against his body with an intensity exceeding a certain threshold, the first motor 200 decelerates and the rod 206 (and therefore, the magnetic unit) rotates more slowly. The second sensor 330 detects a lower rotation rate of the magnetic unit over a given period of time to indicate that the number of rotations of the rod 206 has decreased over a given period of time. Upon sensing a change in the rotation rate of the rod 206, the second sensor 330 alerts the controller 400 that the rotation rate of the rod 206 has decreased; the controller 400 then instructs the first motor 200 to increase its output, and the battery 450 provides the first motor 200 with additional energy to do so (as described above). Alternatively, the second sensor 330 may directly instruct the first motor 200 to increase its output in response to a load applied by the user to the first end 12 that slows the rod 206.

[0057] Once such an indication from the second sensor 330 or the controller 400 is received, the first motor 200 will use the reserve power stored in the battery 450 to maintain the output of the first motor 200. The ability of the battery 450 to maintain such a reserve power is described above. This allows the user to continue to receive the same stimulation pattern as when the second sensor 330 does not sense the rotation rate of the rod 206 due to contact with the user for a period of time. Therefore, based on the output of the second sensor 330, for a period of time, the rod 206 has the ability to maintain the same rotation speed as when there is no load on the personal massager 2. Experienced technicians will be able to determine the type of second sensor to be used and the location of the second sensor according to a specific example based on various considerations, including the size and shape of the first motor and the type of second sensor used. In different embodiments, the second sensor can be set in any suitable part of the body and can measure the rotation rate of the rod in any suitable manner. In other embodiments, the second sensor can be close to the second motor. In various embodiments, the second sensor can have any specific sensitivity level (such as a very fast, medium or slow response to changes in the rotation of the rod), and can delay the action of instructing the motor to increase the output.

[0058] The second sensor 330 can also be used to measure the thickness and / or circumference of human tissue placed in the device and transmit the measurement data to the second device. The second sensor 330 can determine whether the circumference and / or thickness of the user's tissue is small, medium or large by measuring how, when and whether a vacuum and / or seal is created during use, and comparing it with a database related to the circumference and / or thickness of human tissue stored on the software application of the second device. In some embodiments, the second sensor is used to measure the actual circumference or width of human tissue rather than providing a general measurement of size. Experienced technicians will be able to choose how to appropriately configure the second sensor to measure the thickness and circumference of human tissue according to a specific example based on various considerations, including the sensitivity of the second sensor and the material of construction of the sheath. In some embodiments, tissue thickness and / or circumference may include other categories, including particularly small, particularly large, and any other suitable categories.

[0059] The second motor 250 is disposed within the body 10 and is proximate to the middle portion 35 of the sheath 30. More specifically, the second motor 250 is adjacent to the second support column 49 and is closer to the proximal end 32 of the sheath 30 than the first motor 200. The second motor 250 includes a housing 252 for firmly holding the second motor 250 within the cavity 20 of the body 10. When in operation, the second motor 250 provides stimulation to the shaft of the human tissue of the user. In this embodiment, the second motor 250 is an oscillating motor that can be used in combination with the first motor 200 or alone. In the illustrated embodiment, the first motor 200 and the second motor 250 can vibrate, pulsate, or otherwise produce stimulation in a manner that cooperates to increase stimulation to the user (e.g., by synchronous vibration or pulsation). When the two work together by vibrating or pulsating at different frequencies or wavelengths, they may also have a negative impact on the total stimulation produced. The second motor 250 can generate one or more stimulation waves, vibrations, and pulsations, and can vibrate continuously, pulse in a specific pattern, pulse randomly, or provide stimulation in a variety of other ways. The second motor can be any suitable motor. An experienced technician will be able to select a suitable second motor according to a particular example based on various considerations, including the placement of the second motor relative to the sheath, the placement of the first motor, and the type of stimulation pattern generated by the device. In other embodiments, the second motor can generate stimulation waves that produce a suction effect in the body, or generate stimulation waves that can "push" the air in the cavity out of the opening. In various embodiments, the second motor can generate appropriate vibrations and / or pulsations with a frequency between about 10 Hz and about 300 Hz, between about 50 Hz and about 150 Hz, between about 70 Hz and about 90 Hz. In some embodiments, the operating frequency of the second motor is higher than that of the first motor; in other embodiments, the operating frequency of the first motor may also be higher than that of the second motor. In other embodiments, the pulses of the second motor may be between about 500 and about 15,000 times / minute, about 3,000 and about 12,000 times / minute, and about 9,000 and about 11,000 times / minute.

[0060] The body 10 also accommodates a first sensor 300. The first sensor 300 is a capacitive sensor and includes a set of nodes 302, namely a first node 302a, a second node 302b, a third node 302c, a fourth node 302d, and a fifth node 302e (collectively referred to as "nodes 302"). The nodes 302 are arranged on a sensor unit 304, which is also a part of the first sensor 300. The first sensor 300 is connected to the outer surface 38 of the sheath 30 and extends along the sheath 30. More specifically, each of the nodes 302 of the first sensor 300 is spaced apart from each other along the length of the middle portion 35 of the sheath 30. The first node 302a is closer to the proximal end 32 of the sheath 30 than any other node 302, and the fifth node 302e is closer to the distal end 34 than any other node 302. The first sensor 300 is closer to the proximal end 32 of the sheath 30 than any of the first support column 48 or the second support column 49. The placement of the nodes 302 facilitates the collection of data related to the length and shape of human tissue, and it also enables the first sensor 300 to measure the movement of human tissue within the sheath 30, as described below. In addition, the first sensor 300 is substantially disposed opposite the second motor 250 disposed on the outer surface 38. An experienced technician will be able to select an appropriate first sensor for a particular example based on various considerations, including the number of nodes required and what the professional technician wishes to measure. In another embodiment, the sensor may have zero, one, two, three, four, six, seven, eight, or more than eight nodes. In another embodiment, the sensor may extend around the outside of the sheath to form a ring, may be placed near the tip of the sheath, may extend to the proximal end of the sheath, and may be placed wherever the professional technician deems appropriate.

[0061] The configuration of the first sensor 300 is also such that when it (and, by extension, the sheath 30) contacts or approaches the user's skin, the first sensor 300 detects a change in capacitance due to the contact or approach, and communicates the change to the controller 400. The controller 400 operates one or both of the first motor 200 and the second motor 250 in accordance with the change. The first sensor 300 and the controller 400 are combined to be able to distinguish between objects with high water content (such as a human body) and other objects. Therefore, the first sensor 300 helps to preserve the service life of the battery 450 because it will not operate when it is close to or in contact with an object with high water content. The first sensor 300 can be composed of any suitable material, including copper or indium tin oxide.

[0062] To sense activation of the first sensor 300, the controller 400 includes a relaxation oscillator that generates an oscillating wave whose frequency varies with the capacitance of the first sensor 300. More specifically, the frequency increases with increasing system capacitance and decreases with decreasing system capacitance. A counter measures the number of oscillations that occur within a fixed time period; when the number of oscillations within the time period is below a set level, it indicates the presence of a body, and the controller 400 records the presence of the body. The body can sufficiently change the capacitance of the first sensor 300 to reduce its number of oscillations to a level below that indicating a body even if the massager is not in actual contact with the body. Therefore, the first sensor 300 is able to detect changes in capacitance through the sheath 30; therefore, it is still able to work even though it is disposed on the outer surface 38 of the sheath 30 and may not directly contact the user's skin. Because the actual distance from the main body 10 recorded by the user's presence may be different. Regardless, operating the personal massager 2 requires proximity to or contact with the user. An experienced technician will be able to select a suitable first sensor according to a particular example based on various considerations, including the type and strength of the first and / or second motors and the desired sensitivity of the first sensor. In various embodiments, the first sensor can be composed of any suitable material. In various embodiments, the first sensor is configured such that the user must be in direct contact with the sheath and / or the body in order for the first and / or second motors to operate. In other embodiments, the distance of the user's body from the sensor, sheath and / or the body recorded by the first sensor may be millimeters, centimeters, inches, or more than inches.

[0063] The first sensor 300 is used to collect various measurements related to the user's use of the personal massager 2 and transmit them to the controller 400, which can then be transmitted to the second device, such as the mobile phone described above. For example, the first sensor 300 can collect data related to the length of human tissue by measuring the node closest to the tip of the human tissue among the nodes 302 of the first sensor 300. As described below, the tip of the tissue extending to a particular node 302 will correspond to a particular tissue length. The sensor 300 is capable of measuring capacitance sufficiently to distinguish when the tip of the tissue is extended, for example, only extending to the third node 302c, but not to the fourth node 302d.

[0064] The first sensor 300 also measures the frequency of insertion or movement of tissue toward and away from the distal end 14 (i.e., insertion) during a period. In one example, the frequency can be measured by the total number of times the tissue is adjacent to the first node 302a during a period, but not by any other node of the nodes 302; this information will be sent to the second device, and the second device will count the number of insertions during the period. In another example, the number of times the tip of the tissue is adjacent to the fourth node 302d can be measured (assuming that the length of the tissue does not extend to the fourth node 302d when not in motion). This information will be sent to the second device to calculate the number of repetitions of the specific movement of the personal massager toward and away from the user during use. The first sensor can also record data for the second period for transmission to the second device for comparison with the data recorded during the first period. The first sensor 300 can also measure the total duration of a period.

[0065] In other embodiments, any data related to human tissue length, insertion and / or movement frequency, and other similar movements may also be measured by the first sensor. An experienced technician will be able to select data suitable for the first sensor to measure according to a particular example based on various considerations, including the type and sensitivity of the first sensor and the intended use of the instrument.

[0066] The personal massager 2 also includes a third sensor (not shown) for detecting the position and motion of the personal massager 2. The third sensor forms part of the controller 400 and includes a gyro sensor (and accelerometer) for measuring the movement of the personal massager in three axes: the X axis (i.e., toward and away from the user's body), the Y axis (i.e., toward the left and right of the user), and the z axis (toward the top and bottom of the user). In simple terms, the third sensor can detect directional positions including left, right, up, down, back, and front. Therefore, the third sensor can detect the position and motion of the personal massager 2 relative to the user and transmit the information to the controller 400 and / or a second device, such as a mobile phone. The third sensor can measure the speed and direction of the personal massager 2 over time. In various embodiments, the third sensor can have any gyro sensor and / or accelerometer. For example, a gyro sensor used like a micro-electro-mechanical system ("MEMS") gyroscope; micro-electro-mechanical system gyroscopes are commonly used in mobile phones and other electronic devices. Gyroscopes of other vibrating structures can also be used.

[0067] The data that the third sensor can measure, collect and / or transmit includes the rate and direction of movement of the personal massager 2. By measuring the position of the third sensor over time, the rate of movement of the personal massager 2, i.e., the user's hand, can be calculated. Most commonly, the third sensor will measure the movement of the personal massager 2 along the length of the tissue toward and away from the user's body, although it can also measure other movement patterns.

[0068] The third sensor can also measure, collect and transmit data related to the movement and / or orientation of the personal massager 2. Such data may include the angle of movement of the personal massager relative to the body, various changes in the direction of the personal massager 2 along the above three axes initiated by the user, different directions of the personal massager 2 during a period, and the user's preferred mode along the axis. In some embodiments, based on the changes in speed and / or direction of the personal massager detected by the third sensor, the third sensor will be able to detect whether the user is using the right hand or the left hand.

[0069] In various other embodiments, one or more of the first sensor, the second sensor, and / or the third sensor may measure, collect, and / or send additional data to the controller and / or the second device. An experienced technician will be able to determine the type of additional data to be collected based on a particular example based on various considerations, including the size and shape of the personal massager and the specific first sensor, second sensor, and third sensor used. In one embodiment, the sensor can detect audio and determine the amount of noise made by the user when using the device. In another embodiment, the sensor can be used to detect pulsation of tissue. In another embodiment, the sensor can communicate with a smart watch to track the user's pulse while using the personal massager. In other embodiments, the third sensor may only detect movement in one or two axial directions, rather than movement in three axial directions. In another embodiment, the third sensor may only include an accelerometer. In an alternative embodiment, one or both of the first and second motors may increase or decrease output in one or more directions based on the third sensor sensing. The third sensor can also detect orientation in different planes.

[0070] Alternatively, if Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the personal massager 2 may include one or more light sources 490, 492. The first light source 490 is disposed within the body 10 along the inner surface of the middle portion 16. The first light source 490 includes an LED light for illuminating the cavity 20 when the personal massager 2 is in use. More specifically, the first light source 490 helps the user see the interior of the body 10 through the viewing panel 120 so as to see the components stored therein. The first light source 490 may emit light of any color, including one or more of blue, green, orange, red, purple, yellow, white, or any other suitable light color.

[0071] The second light source 492 is disposed near the end 108 of the housing 100. The second light source 492 is used to illuminate the distal end 104 and the end 108 so as to produce a colored halo around the end 108 when the personal massager 2 is in use. Optionally, the second light source 492 can be arranged so that it illuminates the first user control 112, the second user control 114, and the third user control 116 when the personal massager 2 is in use. Such a setting will help the user to view the first user control 112, the second user control 114, and the third user control 116 in the dark. The second light source 492 can emit any color of light, including one or more of blue, green, orange, red, purple, yellow, white, or any other suitable light color. Experienced technicians will be able to select suitable first and second light sources according to a specific example based on various considerations, including the size and shape of the personal massager, and whether there is an observation panel. In other embodiments, other light sources can be used instead of LED light sources. In another embodiment, zero, one, three, or more than three light sources can be set.

[0072] As described above, the data collected by the first sensor 300, the second sensor 330, and the third sensor may be transmitted to a second device (not shown) via the controller 400. As described above, the data may include data related to one or more of the following: the length, width, or circumference of the user's tissue; the frequency of use by the user over a period of time; the duration of one or more sessions; the pulse of the user; the speed and direction of the user's use of the personal massager in three axial directions; the change in position of the personal massager over time; the rhythm and / or pattern of use; and / or the sounds made by the user during use. After such data is transmitted to a second device (e.g., a mobile phone provided with a software application that can store and analyze such data), the second device may record data from a single session and average data generated from multiple sessions. The data may also include maximum data for a particular measurement (i.e., the longest duration, the date with the longest circumference of the human tissue, etc.). The software may also compare the length, circumference, and width of the human tissue with the length, circumference, and width of other users or a data set containing average measurements of such data. The data may then be displayed to the user on a display of the second device; an example of such a display is a mobile phone screen.

[0073] In addition, upon receiving the data, the software application may analyze the data and provide effective suggestions, tips, and other advice to the user. These suggestions, tips, and advice may include, but are not limited to, better angles, durations, speeds, postures, rhythms, sprints, and movements that the user can practice. Specifically, the software application will provide suggestions, tips, and advice based on satisfactory behavioral techniques. For example, the software application may provide such satisfactory suggestions regarding the duration of a repetition, the user's preferred movements and / or movement patterns and rhythms (as well as various speeds and directions).

[0074] Optionally, the personal massager can be remotely controlled by a mobile phone via a software application. In one such example, the personal massager can control one or two motors, indicate the values ​​measured by the sensor, control the illumination of the light source, and control the specific stimulation pattern emitted by the personal massager.

[0075] In some embodiments, the software application may also be open source. That is, users and others with the ability to program the software application may add their own code to the software application. This code may be one or two motors, indicate the values ​​measured by the sensor, control the emission of the light source, and control the specific stimulation pattern emitted by the personal massager. An experienced technician will be able to appropriately configure the second device with the software application according to a specific example based on various considerations, including the intended users of the device and the data to be collected. In some embodiments, the software may only display one or more of the above-mentioned data sets. In different embodiments, the software may be open source or closed source.

[0076] The personal massager 2 can be used in a variety of ways, examples of which are as follows.

[0077] In use, the user inserts their human tissue into the sheath 30 so that the tip of their tissue is closer to the distal end 34 than the proximal end 32. Next, the user will activate the software application on the second device (such as a mobile phone) and ensure that the software application can receive and analyze data from the personal massager 2. The user will then activate the personal massager 2 through the first user control 112. Activation will activate the personal massager 2, including starting the operation of the first motor 200 and the second motor 250, and (optionally) turning on the first light source 490 and the second light source 492 to illuminate the personal massager 2. The user can then choose to increase or decrease the intensity of the vibration and / or pulsation of the personal massager 2 through the second user control 114 and the third user control 116. The intensity can be adjusted at any point in time during use. Most commonly, the user will move the personal massager 2 along the length of the human tissue so that the first motor 200, the second motor 250 and the inner surface 36 of the sheath 30 will stimulate the human tissue. When the user uses the personal massager 2, the first sensor 300, the second sensor 330, and the third sensor will collect the above data and transmit it to the second device through the controller 400 and / or the interface 410. Eventually, the user will stop using the personal massager 2. The user will then access the software application on the second device to view the data collected during the use of the personal massager 2. The user can then obtain various suggestions, tips, and advice regardless of whether he uses the personal massager 2.

[0078] Fig.13 , 14 , 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 illustrate another embodiment of a personal massager 4 for use by an individual and / or its various components. The personal massager 4 is similar to Figures 1 to 11 Therefore, the personal massager 4 includes a body 500, a housing 600, a first motor 700, a second motor 750, a first sensor 800, a second sensor 830, a third sensor (not shown), a controller 900, a battery 950 and various other components, which will be described in more detail below.

[0079] In the illustrated embodiment, the body 500 of the personal massager 4 includes two pads 550, 552 disposed therein. The pads 550, 552 are composed of silicone and are connected to the inner surface 506. The pads 550, 552 are substantially disposed near the first end 502 of the body 500 to reduce the noise generated by the second motor 750, which is disposed in and connected to the motor housing 752. The motor housing 752 and the second motor 750 are disposed closer to the first end 502 of the personal massager 4 than to the second end 504 thereof. The second motor 750 and the motor housing 752 can be fixed to the body 500 by any suitable mechanism. An experienced technician will be able to select a suitable pad according to a particular example based on various considerations, including the shape and size of the body and the amount of cushioning provided by the pads. In various embodiments, the pads can be connected to the body by any mechanism, including mechanical connection and / or adhesive. They can also be formed integrally with the body. In addition, in other embodiments, the personal massager can include zero, one, three, or more than three pads. In various embodiments, the cushion may also be comprised of any suitable material.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first sensor 800 of the personal massager 4 has eight nodes (not shown in the figure), which enables the first sensor 800 to collect data in more detail than a sensor with fewer nodes.

[0081] like Fig.13 As shown, for example, in this embodiment, the first end 502 does not include a ridge. Instead, the first end 502 is substantially smooth adjacent the housing 600.

[0082] exist Fig.24 In another alternative embodiment personal massager 4' shown, neither the body 500' nor the housing 600' is provided with a viewing panel. In fact, the body 500' is not provided with a second window, and the housing 600' is not provided with a first window or includes a cover. Instead, the outer surfaces of the body 500' and the housing 600' are each composed of their respective materials. The user of the alternative personal massager 4' cannot see the interior of the housing 600' and / or the body 500'. In another embodiment, the personal massager 2 may not have a viewing panel and / or a first or second window.

[0083] Fig.25 is a flow chart of an example method 1000 of using a personal massager.

[0084] Initial step 1002 is inserting the user's tissue into the sheath of the personal massager body, such as the sheath 30 of the personal massager body 10 2 . In various other methods, any suitable personal massager may be selected, including the personal massager 4 or the personal massager 4 ′.

[0085] Another step 1004 is to activate a software application stored on a second device (eg, a mobile phone), the second device being used to receive data from the personal massager 2. The step 1004 is generally performed before the step 1002.

[0086] Optionally, another step 1006 is to adjust the intensity of the pulsation and / or vibration generated by one or more motors (eg, the first motor 200 and the second motor 250 of the personal massager 2). The intensity may be increased or decreased.

[0087] Another step 1008 is for the user to use the personal massager 2. The user may move and position the personal massager 2 as described above or in any other manner. In this step, data related to this use will be collected by the first, second and third sensors, such as the first sensor 300, the second sensor 330 and the third sensor of the personal massager 2 described above.

[0088] Another step 1010 is to stop using the personal massager 2 .

[0089] Another step 1012 is for the user to view data collected by one or more sensors, such as data collected by one or more of the first sensor 300 , the second sensor 330 , and / or the third sensor displayed by the second device.

[0090] Another step 1014 is for the user to view relevant massage suggestions, tips and / or advice (such as the suggestions, tips and advice described above) on the display of the second device.

[0091] Optionally, another step 1016 is to combine the suggestions, tips and advice described in step 1014 and use the personal massager 2 again.

[0092] It is worth noting that the method 1000 can be completed in the order shown and described. However, these steps can also be completed in any other order.

[0093] In all examples, the personal massager may be comprised of any suitable material, including currently known and later developed materials for use in personal massagers. An experienced technician will be able to select appropriate materials for the personal massager based on a variety of considerations, including, but not limited to, the desired size and shape of the device and its components and the type of stimulation to be produced. Examples of suitable materials may include one or more materials, including, but not limited to, silicone-coated, metal, and / or plastic.

[0094] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, based on the overall description presented in this disclosure, various modifications and alternatives to the described and illustrated embodiments may be developed. Therefore, the specific embodiments disclosed are intended only to illustrate, and not to limit the scope of the invention, which should be given the full scope of the appended claims and any equivalents thereof.
