Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The subject matter of this disclosure relates to adult toys, and in particular to adult toys that utilize one or more sensors and liquid dispensing mechanisms for controllable operation. [Background technology]

[0002] Popular lifestyle products (interchangeably referred to herein as adult toys, adult sex toys, or "vibrators") are often penile-shaped objects configured for insertion into a body cavity, such as the vagina or anus, to facilitate organ stimulation by localized vibrations from an internal electric motor. Various shapes of vibrators and various operational characteristics of such vibrators are known.

[0003] The use of familiar lifestyle products such as vibrators may require the use of lubricants, which may increase stimulation or sensation.

[0004] No. 9,050,240 (the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference) provides an improved adult toy. Thus, the '240 patent discloses an adult sex toy including a self-lubricating system, the adult sex toy being substantially penis-shaped and configured for insertion into a body cavity of a person, the adult sex toy comprising a pipe network, an opening formed in the adult sex toy and connected to the pipe network to provide an outlet therefor, a peristaltic pump engaging externally to the pipe network, the peristaltic pump having a rotor assembly configured to positively engage and squeeze a portion of the pipe network, a battery providing electrical energy to the peristaltic pump to power the pump, a hollow core holding a removable volume-reducible lubricant cartridge having an interior volume initially filled with a dispensable fluid or gel, and a tubular piercing member located within the hollow core, the tubular piercing member engaging the removable volume-reducible lubricant cartridge to allow the lubricant to flow into the pipe network. and a fluid conduit for controlling the operation of the peristaltic pump, the fluid conduit comprising: a tubular piercing member that provides an outlet path for an internal volume of the removable, volume-reducible lubricant cartridge when the removable, volume-reducible cartridge is loaded into the hollow core of the adult sex toy and connected to a pipe network via the tubular piercing member; and a microcontroller coupled to and controlling the operation of the peristaltic pump, the microcontroller configured to (i) urge the fluid or gel to controllably move through the pipe network toward an outlet, and (ii) regulate the operation of the peristaltic pump by selectively rotating the rotor assembly to control the release and delivery of the fluid or gel from the removable, volume-reducible lubricant cartridge.

[0005] It is known that the delivery of certain sexual stimulants, such as liquids containing sex steroids or cannabinoids, can have a stimulating effect on female sexual desire and receptivity. For example, scientific literature has revealed satisfaction in the sexual domains of drive, orgasm, and overall sexual experience, among others. Specifically, of the 373 participants, 34.0% (n=127) reported having used cannabis prior to sexual activity. Most women reported increased libido, improved orgasm (see "The Relationship between Marijuana Use Prior to Sex and Sexual Function in Women", Becky K. Lynn, et al. https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / pmc / articles / PMC6522945 / ).

[0006] With the legalization of cannabis for both medical and recreational use in several countries and some US states, its use is becoming more widespread.

[0007] There is a need in the art to provide new adult toys configured to deliver cannabinoid substances to stimulate female sexual gratification. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present disclosure provides an adult toy configured to provide sexual pleasure to a user in accordance with one or more user preferences provided by the adult toy, the adult toy comprising one or more sensors and a controller configured and operable to monitor one or more physiological parameters indicative of operation of the adult toy and / or a user's response to operation, and adjust operational parameters in accordance with the one or more physiological parameters.

[0009] To this end, the present disclosure provides an adult toy comprising a structure having at least one portion configured to be inserted into a body cavity of a user, at least one moving member, at least one sensor, and a controller, which may comprise one or more processors and memory units and may be configured to receive sensory data from the at least one sensor and operate the moving member according to the received sensory data.

[0010] The memory unit may store user preference data provided by the user, for example, upon first use or from time to time, and may be determined according to one or more movement patterns. Furthermore, during operation, the controller operates at least one sensor to collect sensory data and adjusts the movement pattern according to the sensory data. In some embodiments, the sensory data may provide data indicative of the user's level of sexual arousal. In some embodiments, variations in the movement pattern may be associated with one or more pieces of data determined by the user, such as current preference data, desired movement duration, etc.

[0011] In some embodiments, the adult toy of the present disclosure further comprises at least one compartment or chamber having an internal volume adapted to contain a selected generally liquid substance, and at least a main conduit configured to deliver the generally liquid substance to a main liquid / lubricant delivery port. The main delivery port may be located at a distal end of the adult toy structure, typically at a location that is inserted into a user's cavity. The generally liquid substance may be in liquid or gel form and may include one or more active materials selected to enhance lubrication and / or sexual pleasure. For example, the generally liquid substance may contain one or more of a water-based lubricant, oil, cannabinoid extract, CBD, THC, or other materials.

[0012] In general, CBD or THC may be used to enhance the user's pleasure. The euphoric sensation associated with THC helps slow things down and intensify feelings of sexual pleasure. CBD oil is known to reduce discomfort, enhance sensation, reduce pain, and relieve stress and anxiety. For example, different studies suggest that CBD can lower inflammation by affecting the body's activity with endocannabinoid receptors. This includes both chronic and acute inflammation. CBD oil can address various medical conditions such as vulvodynia, vaginismus, vaginal scarring, pelvic floor dysfunction, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, interstitial cystitis, etc. In addition to providing sexual stimulation to the genitals, the adult toys disclosed herein may be used to apply a selected generally liquid lubricant to the genitals to enhance the pleasure and / or relief that the adult toy is being used by the user. Additionally, the adult toy may be equipped with a heating element to heat the generally liquid substance prior to its delivery to further enhance the pleasure and / or relief. In some embodiments, heating the generally liquid substance may increase the activity and absorption rate of active materials, such as CBD and / or THC, present within the generally liquid substance.

[0013] At least one compartment may be formed as a chamber for receiving a generally liquid substance or for receiving a pre-filled capsule containing a generally liquid substance.

[0014] According to some embodiments, the adult toy may comprise a communication module, e.g., wi-fi, Bluetooth, or other type of communication module configured to communicate with an external electronic device. The adult toy may be configured to receive user preference data via the communication module and store the user preference data. The controller may further utilize the stored user preference data to determine an operation pattern of the moving member and / or the pump, varying the operation pattern according to the sensory data during operation.

[0015] In some embodiments, where the adult toy utilizes a compartment carrying a generally liquid substance, the adult toy may also comprise a substance indicator that indicates data regarding the type of substance used. This may be applied using a sensor configured to identify the type of substance containing the capsule or by obtaining user input data regarding the type of substance. The controller may determine a motion pattern according to the substance used to enhance the use of the generally liquid substance to improve the user's stimulation. Furthermore, the controller may operate according to the sensory data using one or more machine learning techniques to vary the motion pattern to enhance user satisfaction. To this end, the controller may operate to identify sexual climax based on the sensory data and may operate to obtain user input indicative of sexual climax and / or user satisfaction following operation of the adult toy.

[0016] The at least one sensor may be at least one pressure sensor, a conductivity sensor, a temperature sensor, etc. For example, the at least one sensor may include at least one sensor located at a distal end of the structure at a location that is typically inserted into a user's body cavity during use. In some preferred embodiments, the adult toy may be equipped with one or more different types of sensors and utilize respective sensed data to determine its motion patterns.

[0057] Before proceeding, it should be noted that the structure of adult sex toys, such as vibrators, is generally known per se and will only be generally described herein. Essential structural and operational details, such as pumps, motor ducts, housings, handles, selection buttons (for various modes of operation), battery compartments, wired displays, and other elements well known to those skilled in the art (in terms of structure and mode of operation), will not be described herein. As a non-limiting example, a more comprehensive structure and mode of operation is described in U.S. Pat. No. 9,050,240. The present invention is not bound by any structure of adult toys (e.g., vibrators, dildos), and in particular by those depicted in Figures 1A-1C herein and / or described with reference to the specific '240 patent.

[0058] In this regard, Figures 1A-1C illustrate an adult sex toy 100, also referred to herein as a vibrator. The adult sex toy 100 illustrated herein has a structure 102 having a generally penile shape and configured to be inserted into a cavity of a user (typically the vagina or anus), a moving member 101, and a controller 110. The moving member may be operated using a motor 108 to generate vibrations according to a selected pattern. The adult sex toy further includes a compartment 103 configured to contain a generally liquid substance, such as a lubricant, and a main conduit 106 configured to direct the generally liquid substance from the compartment 103 out through a main liquid / lubricant delivery port 107.

[0059] In general, the examples of Figures 1A-1C generally illustrate an adult toy 100 according to certain embodiments of the present invention utilizing one moving member 101 and a generally phallic structure 102 configured to be inserted into a body cavity of a user (typically the vagina or anus, not shown). It should be noted that for simplicity, only one moving member 101 is shown, but there may be different additional moving parts of the toy 100 that move (e.g., vibrate and / or rotate), all of which are known per se. For example, according to various embodiments, only the leading tip member (not shown) is configured to move. In the example of Figure 1A, the moving member is actuated by a vibrator module, e.g., a motor is shown as 108. Additionally, in some examples, which will be described further below, the adult toy 100 may include auxiliary units configured to stimulate an external organ of the user, such as the clitoris, and may include additional moving members and respective motors.

[0060] Further, as shown in FIG. 1C, the vibrator 100 may also include a compartment 103 for containing a generally liquid substance. The compartment may be formed as an internal chamber for storing the generally liquid substance or may be configured to receive one or more removable cartridges / capsules 104 having an internal volume 105 that may be filled with the generally liquid substance. The generally liquid substance may be a lubricant or may include a dispensable sexually stimulating substance (e.g., liquid) such as a cannabinoid extract. Typical but not exclusive examples are CBD or CBD oil and / or THC. The cartridges 104 are attached to the container 103, as can be seen for example in FIG. 1C, allowing selective use of the generally liquid substance based on the selected cartridge 104. The cartridges may be provided with specific markings in the form of structural patterns, computer readable codes, RFID, etc. that provide cartridge data to the controller 110. The controller may be configured to receive the cartridge identity data and determine an operating pattern accordingly. Such operating pattern may include a level of pumping and an amount of the generally liquid substance applied at a selected time.

[0061] It should be noted that the chemical formulation of the generally liquid substance and / or its biological effect may vary. For simplicity, the following description focuses on stimulated liquids or cannabinoid extracts, but those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not bound by these examples.

[0062] As shown, the adult sex toy 100 may include a liquid conveyor, conduit 106, that provides a path for conveying the generally liquid substance from the compartment 103 or cartridge 104 and discharging through one or more delivery ports 107 into the user's body cavity. The conduit 106 may be associated with a pump operated by the controller 110 to selectively provide the generally liquid substance according to the motion pattern and / or sensory data. Typically, the generally liquid substance may be used as a lubricant to reduce friction between the structure 102 and the internal body cavity. To this end, a typical motion pattern may include an initial release of a selected amount of the generally liquid substance. It is noted that although the illustrations in FIGS. 1A-1C show a single conduit 106, additional one or more conduits may be used according to the structural design of the adult toy 100.

[0063] It should also be noted that Figures 1A-1C illustrate cartridge 105 in an extracted position in Figure 1A and positioned within compartment 103 in an operative position in Figure 1C (and at an intermediate stage in Figure 1B). It should be noted that the particular configuration of the cartridge and extraction / insertion techniques may vary and are certainly not bound by the compartment and / or cartridge structure. Other non-limiting examples are shown in certain '240 patents.

[0064] The adult toy 100 also includes a dispensing control member (e.g., including at least one pump), not specifically shown here. The pump is responsive to dispense commands from the controller 110 for controlled dispensing of the generally liquid substance from the cartridge 105 to the user's cavity (and, in this particular embodiment, through a conduit to an orifice), as described in more detail below. Additionally, the adult toy 100 may include a piercing arrangement for piercing / opening the cartridge and extracting the generally liquid substance or allowing it to flow according to a determined motion pattern.

[0065] As described above, the moving member 101 may be operated by the motor 108. The motor may be configured to operate at a selected speed and duration of movement. In general, the controller 110 may include a movement control module. The movement control module is operative to send movement instructions to the motor according to a movement pattern. The movement instructions may typically determine the motor speed, duration, pulsating movement, vibration intensity, vibration frequency, etc. Selection of these parameters along with the selected duration describes the movement pattern of the adult toy 100, and typically, as described in further detail below, the controller may determine the movement pattern according to pre-stored user preference data and may adjust and modify the movement pattern according to sensory data obtained from one or more sensors.

[0066] As further described above, the adult toy 100 includes at least one sensor (not specifically shown). The at least one sensor is configured to acquire sensory data indicative of environmental and / or physiological signals from the user's body and transmit the collected sensory data to the controller 110. The sensory data may include data indicative of the user's sexual stimulation intensity while using the toy, as well as additional data that may be indicative of the user's satisfaction, moisturization, and the like. Typically, the adult toy 100 may include a sensor arrangement that provides sensory data in multiple sensory data channels. For example, the sensor arrangement may include one or more sensors including a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a conductivity sensor, an optical heart rate sensor, and optionally additional sensors. The sensors are generally operated at a selected sampling rate to provide the sensory data to the controller 110. The controller is operative to process the sensory data using one or more processing techniques, such as, for example, Fourier transform, correlation detection, machine learning techniques, and the like. The controller may be operative to determine a level of sexual stimulation and to determine a pattern of motion that would provide sexual satisfaction according to the user's preferences (e.g., with respect to time, duration, and the like). In addition, the controller may process the sensory data to determine data regarding the moisturizing status of the user's cavity and operate the pump to provide an additional amount of the generally liquid substance to lubricate the area within the user's cavity.

[0067] For example, the controller 110 may process the sensory data to determine heart rate, temperature and pressure fluctuations to determine levels of sexual satisfaction, progression to climax, and sexual climax / orgasm. The controller may record and store data indicative of the sensory data and user experience data to enhance user satisfaction in additional use sessions.

[0068] Additionally, as mentioned above, the adult toy may utilize a user interface for operation and to provide user input data. To this end, the controller typically includes an I / O interface (e.g., switches or touch panel) and a communication module for receiving user preference data, user input, and allowing the user to view operational data. For example, the adult toy may wirelessly communicate with one or more electronic devices to receive and provide user communication data and / or operational data. In some embodiments, the adult toy may request user preference data upon first use and periodically, e.g., with a set of questions, to update user preferences. In some further embodiments, the adult toy may respond to user instructions to change / adjust operational patterns. In some embodiments, the adult toy may respond to receiving user input data regarding satisfaction level, e.g., the user reaching orgasm, and / or general operational feedback.

[0069] The controller 110 may generally be in the form of a computer processor associated with a memory unit. The computer processor may be operable to execute one or more sets of computer readable instructions according to user input and sensory data to determine a motion pattern of the adult toy 100. The controller 110 may generally be configured to determine at least one of: (i) a movement command for controlled modification of the frequency and / or magnitude of the movement of the moving member 101; and (ii) a dispensing command for controlled dispensing of the generally liquid substance from the cartridge 105. The dispensing command may be used according to data relating to the generally liquid substance. For example, when operated with a general lubricant substance, the dispensing command may be controlled by data relating to the moisturization and lubrication levels in the user's body cavity. For example, the controller may be operable to determine a moving member motion pattern and dispense the generally liquid substance to substantially match the actual motion duration of the toy with data relating to the desired input motion duration until satisfaction is reached.

[0070] In general, the controller 110 may be located within the housing of the adult toy 100, i.e., within its structure 102. However, it should be noted that the controller 110 may also be located in an external housing connected by wired or wireless communication with the elements of the adult toy within the structure 102. The adult toy may be controlled using one or more user interface elements (e.g., buttons) on the structure 102 itself, using a remote connection via a connected electronic device (e.g., a smartphone), and / or using a remote control unit. Thus, the controller 110 may be locally present or distributed. In the latter case, the controller 110 may include a remote component associated with an end user device, such as, but not limited to, a mobile phone. In the case of a remote component, the computational module may be present in the end user unit and / or may be partially or fully distributed on a remote server, including, but not limited to, the cloud.

[0071] 2, which illustrates a functional block diagram of the controller 110 according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure. The controller 110 is typically a computer-based system that controls at least one or more motors that operate the moving member 101, and in some embodiments, can also control the operation of a pump to dispense a generally liquid substance.

[0072] As shown, the controller 110 includes a processor and memory circuitry (PMC) 210 operably coupled to a hardware-based I / O interface 220 for receiving user inputs such as a desired operation duration (e.g., short or long), an indication of satisfaction, and other user preference data. The I / O interface is also typically configured to receive sensory data indicative of physiological 240 and / or environmental 240 characteristics collected by one or more sensors. The PMC 210 generally operates to process the collected sensory data to generate environmental and physiological sensory data from the collected raw sensory data, for example, to determine heart rate data, pressure fluctuation data, data regarding the presence of lubrication and liquids in the body cavity, and the like. The PMC 210 is further configured to send commands to a motor controller 250 to control operation of one or more motors that operate the moving member 101, and in some embodiments, sends commands to a pumping controller 260 to operate one or more pumps to dispense the generally liquid substance. The PMC 210 is configured to provide all the processing necessary to operate the adult toy system 100, as described in further detail below, and comprises a processor (not shown separately) and a memory (not shown separately). The processor of the PMC 210 may be configured to execute several functional modules according to computer readable instructions implemented on a non-transitory computer readable memory included in the PMC. Such functional modules are hereinafter referred to as being included in the PMC. As explained above, the controller may be locally present, i.e., mounted within the structure 102 of the adult toy 100, or may be partially or wholly configured remotely to operate the adult toy by wired or wireless communication. The memory of the PMC 210 may generally store operational instructions executed by the processor, as well as operational and user data indicative of user input data, user preferences, and the like.Typically, the PMC 210 may be operative to store data indicative of user responses and satisfaction inputs that enable adjustment of the operation of the adult toy 100 in response to previous user experiences.

[0073] The operation of the controller 110, the PMC 210, and the functional modules therein are further detailed with reference to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic scheme of operation of an adult toy according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown, the PMC 210 receives (310) input data, including user input data indicative of current user preferences, instructions for current and / or general operation of the system. Additionally, during operation, the PMC 210 receives (303) sensory data, including data collected by one or more sensors. The PMC 210 processes (303) the received data and operates to determine operation of one or more motors and / or one or more pumps according to the input data, and optionally according to pre-stored data indicative of past user experiences and general user preferences. It should be noted that the schematic scheme illustrated herein is an example, and the present disclosure is not bound by the specified modules, and the various sequence operations described with reference to various embodiments herein may be implemented by modified or different modules of the modules described with reference to FIG. 2.

[0074] Referring again to FIG. 3, a flow chart of a series of operations performed by the controller is illustrated, according to certain embodiments of the subject matter of the present disclosure. As illustrated, the controller may be configured to receive user input (301) and, in response to sensory data (302) indicative of acquired physiological and / or environmental signals originating from the user's body cavity, determine at least one of (i) movement commands for controlled modification of at least one of the magnitude and frequency of movement of one or more moving members, as well as general selection between the moving members, and (ii) dispensing commands for controlled dispensing of a generally liquid substance for stimulating and / or lubricating at or around the user's body cavity by operating one or more pumps for delivering the substance through respective conduits 303. The motion commands determined by the PMC are generated according to user preference data to provide a user experience according to the user preferences regarding duration of motion, user satisfaction, and preferred motion type of the adult toy 100. The PMC 210 may also utilize the sensory data, and optionally user input data, to determine the user's satisfaction level and sexual climax, enabling the adult toy to identify satisfaction and / or climax and store the respective physiological parameters and operating schemes in memory to improve the user experience in further operation of the system.

[0075] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the one or more input sensors may include one or more sensors for sensing data providing information about the user's heart rate, such as an optical IR sensor. Additional sensors may include a conductivity sensor, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor (e.g., a thermocouple), etc.

[0076] Consider an example where, in operation according to a particular embodiment, a user input provides information of the second (longer) duration. The controller 110 may: Based on the input signal, the controller may be configured to determine whether the stimulation intensity leads to satisfaction sooner or later than the desired duration, and in response thereto, iteratively (possibly via the control module 230) issue at least one of: (i) a movement command (250) to modify the magnitude of the movement (e.g., vibration) of the moving member; (ii) a dispensing command to the dispensing control member 260 to modify the emitted dose of the stimulation liquid (e.g., cannabinoid substance) from the cartridge (e.g., 104). According to a particular embodiment, if the first option (short duration) is selected, the controller operates in a default mode of commanding a fixed dose of stimulation substance, since modifying the dosage has limited effect given the desired short duration to reach satisfaction.

[0077] Turning to the latter example, consider an embodiment of the first sensor 230 configured to sense data providing information of the user's heart rate, and the determination (by the controller) of whether the sensed signal leads to earlier or later satisfaction than the desired duration is determined based on the user's heart rate. With this embodiment, the controller will, for example, modify the specified command (i) and / or (ii) based on the changes in the sensed heart rate (e.g., changes in heart rate) of the user. For example, if the controller determines that the heart rate increases and the stimulation intensity leads to earlier satisfaction than the desired duration input by the user, the controller may issue a command (supplied to a controlled moving member, e.g., a vibration motor) to reduce the vibration intensity and / or a command to reduce the emitted dose of the cannabinoid substance from the cartridge.

[0078] According to another embodiment, a second sensor 240 (alongside or in addition to said first sensor) is configured to sense data providing information of the user's vaginal wetness by determining its conductivity data, and the determination by the control module 230 of whether the input signal leads to satisfaction sooner or later than said desired duration is determined based on the vaginal wetness value (e.g., the rate of change of the wetness value). The operation of the controller to modify the command is similar to that described with reference to the designated first sensor.

[0079] According to other embodiments, the controller may determine the desired command to the movement control member (increase / decrease intensity) and / or the desired command to the dispensing control member (increase / decrease dose) based on input from both sensors.

[0080] According to certain embodiments, the controller 200 includes a local controller attached thereto and a remote controller that is associated with an end-user communication device (not shown) and communicates with the adult toy in a known per se manner, for example via cellular and / or internet infrastructure, which may be, by way of non-limiting example, a mobile phone, a laptop, etc.

[0081] According to various embodiments, the remote controller receives the user's input and repeatedly receives data providing information about the physiological origin signal, and in response determines at least one of the following: (i) a command for controlled modification of the magnitude of movement of the moving member, and (ii) a dispensing command for controlled dispensing of the stimulating liquid from the cartridge, and transmits the command (via a network - not shown) to a local controller for delivery to the movement control member and the dispensing control member.

[0082] Note that the controller may also utilize data of non-physiological origin, such as age, height, and weight, which may affect the dose to be dispensed. Also, when providing health conditions that may be prescribed to limit the maximum dose of stimulant substance that may be dispensed, the controller may (via appropriate commands) prohibit the release of the substance if it exceeds the permitted portion.

[0083] Thus, according to various embodiments, the following advantage is achieved: the actual duration of the toy's motion substantially matches the desired input duration of the motion until user satisfaction is reached.

[0084] For purposes of example only, the following description is provided for use in increasing sexual arousal.

[0085] It should be noted that the teachings of the subject matter of the present disclosure are not bound by the flowchart illustrated in Figure 3 or by the various embodiments described with reference to the operation of the controller. Also, it should be noted that while the flowchart is described with reference to elements of the controller (200) of Figure 2, this is in no way binding and the operations may be performed by elements other than those described herein. Thus, according to certain embodiments, various computational steps performed by the controller may be eliminated and / or combined with other computational steps and / or performed in a different order and / or modified, and / or other computational steps may be added in addition to or instead of the computational steps illustrated in the figures.

[0086] Reference is now made to FIGS. 4A-4H, which illustrate an adult toy 10 according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. As noted above, the adult toy 10 is generally a sex toy configured for use to stimulate a user's genitalia, e.g., the vagina and clitoris of a female user. In some exemplary configurations, the adult toy 10 may have a head port 12 configured to removably attach one or more actuating heads, each of which includes at least one operating unit, as described in more detail in commonly assigned patent application PCT / IL2022 / 050783. The adult toy 10 further includes a motor 14 positioned in the head port 12 and configured to be operably coupled to the operating units of each of the actuating heads to facilitate performing an operation.

[0087] In general, the head port 12 is configured to removably attach an actuating head by an attachment action. The attachment action can simply be pressing the actuating head against the head port 12 along its longitudinal axis. The motor 14 is configured to be operatively coupled to a corresponding operating unit during the attachment action. In the illustrated example, the head port 12 extends along its longitudinal axis ALA and is configured to receive the actuating head along it. The actuating head may be pressed against the head port 12 along the longitudinal axis ALA and attached to the head port by, for example, a snap attachment. In some examples, the attachment can be by a bayonet twist lock or by a simple friction attachment due to the dimensions of the head port and the actuating head. The motor 14 is configured, i.e., structured, positioned, and oriented, to be operatively coupled to an operating unit of the actuating head when the actuating head is pressed against the head port for attachment to the head port 12.

[0088] The head port 12 further comprises a lubricant delivery port 16, which may act as a primary or auxiliary liquid delivery port and is configured to deliver a lubricant or other generally liquid substance therethrough. The lubricant or generally liquid substance may be a simple lubricant, a sexual stimulant containing one or more active ingredients, such as THC, CBD, or a selected combination therebetween. The lubricant delivery port 16 may be connected to a lubricant source for delivering the lubricant. The lubricant delivery port 16 is configured, i.e., structured, positioned, and oriented, to connect to a lubricant port extension element of the working head when the working head is attached to the head port 12. The connection between the lubricant delivery port 16 and the lubricant port extension element is preferably a leak-proof connection for delivering lubricant therethrough. Moreover, this connection is established during attachment of the working head to the head port 12, i.e., by a single attachment operation. Thus, the single action of attaching the working head to the head port causes attachment of the working head to the head port, operative coupling of the motor 14 with the working unit of the working head, and connection between the lubricant delivery port 16 and the lubricant port extension element of the working head.

[0089] In the illustrated example, the adult toy 10 further comprises a primary head 20 attached to the primary port 22. It is understood herein that in the illustrated example, the primary head 20 is fixedly attached to the primary port 22, but in other examples, the primary port 22 may be configured to removably attach one or more primary heads one at a time. The interchangeable primary heads may have different shapes (curvatures), textures (dots, stripes, etc.), dimensions (e.g., of the insertable portion), and / or operation units. The primary head 20 is configured to be inserted into a body cavity, such as the vagina or anus, of a user of the adult toy. The primary head 20 is attached to the primary port 22 along its longitudinal axis MLA, which also constitutes the primary longitudinal axis of the adult toy 10. In the illustrated example, the primary head 20 extends along the primary longitudinal axis MLA of the adult toy 10, but it is understood herein that in some examples, the primary head may extend at an angle to the primary longitudinal axis.

[0090] The primary operating unit may be a vibrator unit, and the adult toy 10 includes a primary motor 24 configured to operate at least one moving member of the vibrator unit. In other words, the primary motor 24 is configured to move a primary head (moving member) in a predetermined pattern to cause stimulation at or inside the vagina when the adult toy is in use.

[0091] The adult toy further comprises a primary lubricant delivery port 26, which generally acts as a primary liquid / lubricant delivery port and is configured to deliver a generally liquid substance, such as a lubricant and / or an active material, to the user's vagina through it. Typically, the primary lubricant delivery port 26 may be the same as or different from the lubricant delivered by the lubricant delivery port 16. However, in some embodiments, the adult toy may include a primary liquid delivery port 26 for dispensing a generally liquid substance within the user's body cavity and an auxiliary delivery port 16 for dispensing a generally liquid substance at an auxiliary location, which may be outside the user's body cavity. The primary head 20 includes a hole 21 corresponding to the primary lubricant delivery port 26 such that lubricant can be delivered through the primary head to the vagina when the adult toy 10 is in use.

[0092] In all examples of the adult toy 10 described herein, the adult toy 10 includes a head port 12 as well as a main head port 22, however, it should be understood that the adult toy 10 may have only one head port, i.e., the head port 12 configured for removably and selectively attaching one or more working heads for performing functions corresponding to the user's genitalia. It should be understood that all components corresponding to the main head 20, e.g., the main port 22, the main motor 24, the main lubricant delivery port 26, are not required, and the adult toy 10 may be realized without these components, with only the head port 12 and its corresponding components.

[0093] Generally, the adult toys illustrated herein also include at least one sensor 23 located within the main head 20. Generally, the at least one sensor 23 is positioned at a location configured to be inserted within a user's body cavity to obtain sensory data from within the user's body cavity. Typically, the adult toy may include an arrangement of sensors 23 including one or more pressure sensors, temperature sensors, conductivity sensors, optical heart rate sensors, and optionally additional sensors. The sensor arrangement is operable by a controller 60, further described below, and configured to collect sensory data indicative of at least one physiological and environmental parameter of the adult toy. For example, the use of one or more conductivity sensors may provide sensory data indicative of a level of conductivity within the user's body cavity. This type of sensory data may be processed by the controller to determine a level of moisture within the body cavity, indicating the need for additional lubrication. Additionally, the use of one or more pressure sensors located at selected locations along the main head 20 provides pressure variation data that may be indicative of muscle contractions that may be associated with sexual stimulation. Similarly, heart rate data may be obtained using pressure sensors and / or optical sensors. Heart rate variability may also be used as an indication of sexual arousal levels. The use of temperature sensors may provide data indicative of the location of the main head 20, i.e., within the user's body cavity or external thereto, and may provide temperature variations that may also indicate data regarding sexual arousal. The use of sensor arrangements and collection of physiological data may also be used for periodic monitoring of the user's physiological and physical condition in long-term use. The adult toy may utilize collection of physiological sensory data, store such data (locally) on the controller or associated electronic device and / or remotely on a selected remote server, and provide the user with periodic analysis based on the collected sensory data.

[0094] In the illustrated example, the adult toy 10 comprises a primary head 20 attached to a primary head port 22, the head port 12 constituting the auxiliary head port 12, and the working head and their operating units constituting the auxiliary head and auxiliary operating units. Similarly, the longitudinal axis of the auxiliary head port 12 constituting the auxiliary longitudinal axis ALA, and the motor 14 and the lubricant delivery port 16 constituting the auxiliary motor 14 and the auxiliary lubricant delivery port 16, respectively.

[0095] The auxiliary longitudinal axis ALA is inclined at an acute angle A1 to the main longitudinal axis MLA when viewed from the side of the primary head port 22 and the auxiliary head port 12. The angle A1 is selected such that when the auxiliary head is attached to the auxiliary port 12, the adult toy 10 is used such that the primary head 20 may be inserted into the user's vagina and interact with the user's clitoris. Generally, the primary head is inserted within the user's body cavity, but the auxiliary head attached to the auxiliary port may stimulate the user externally. In some examples, the connection between the auxiliary head port 12 and the primary head port 22 may be made flexible enough to be adjusted by and according to the user, while being at least sufficiently rigid for use of the adult toy 10. Thus, the adult toy 10 is configured to stimulate the user's vagina and clitoris simultaneously, thereby significantly increasing the enjoyment and / or relief of whatever adult toy is used by the user. At the same time, the adult toy 10 is configured to selectively deliver a lubricant (a generally liquid substance) that may include active materials such as THC and / or CBD through one or more delivery ports within a body cavity and / or at one or more selected external locations, such as within the vagina and at the clitoris. The lubricant may be a sexual stimulant substance and / or may contain substances for medical use, such as to address various sexually related issues, as described in more detail herein below.

[0096] 1C-1E, the adult toy 10 includes a lubricant inlet port 30 configured to be connected to a lubricant source containing a lubricant to be delivered through the adult toy 10. The adult toy 10 further includes a main conduit 32 configured to deliver a generally liquid substance (lubricant) from the lubricant inlet port 30 through a main lubricant delivery port 26, and an auxiliary conduit 34 configured to deliver the lubricant from the lubricant inlet port through an auxiliary lubricant delivery port 16 remote from the main liquid / lubricant delivery port 26. The adult toy further includes a pumping mechanism 40 for pumping lubricant from the lubricant inlet port 30 through each of the main conduit 32 and the auxiliary conduit 34.

[0097] Although the adult toy 10 is illustrated herein as having features related to interchangeability of the working heads and that lubricant is deliverable from two separate ports of the adult toy, it should be understood that the adult toy may be realized with any one set of these features. The adult toy 10 may be realized with only features related to lubricant being deliverable from two separate ports of the adult toy, and the adult toy need not necessarily have features related to interchangeability of the working heads, and vice versa. In other words, the subject matter of the present disclosure includes within its scope adult toys having features related to lubricant being deliverable from two separate ports of the adult toy with fixedly attached working heads and primary heads. For example, the adult toy 10 may, according to some examples, comprise a fixed primary head 20 and an auxiliary head fixed to the auxiliary head port 12, each having a respective lubricant delivery port configured to deliver lubricant to the interior of the vagina (through the primary head) and to the clitoris (through the auxiliary head).

[0098] In the illustrated example, the main conduit 32 connects the lubricant inlet port 30 to the main lubricant delivery port 26, and the auxiliary conduit 34 connects the lubricant inlet port 30 to the auxiliary lubricant delivery port 16. The conduits 32 and 34 transfer the lubricant from the lubricant inlet port to the lubricant delivery port for delivery therethrough to the user. The lubricant inlet port is configured to be connected to a lubricant source to establish fluid communication. The lubricant source may be any internal or external source containing a lubricant to be delivered to the user's genitals. The lubricant may be a sexual stimulant and / or a medicine to address sex-related issues. In the illustrated example, the lubricant source is a replaceable lubricant capsule that may be received within the adult toy. However, in other examples, the lubricant source may be a refillable cartridge or an external single or multi-use lubricant source. In some examples, the lubricant source may include two or more lubricant sources, each containing a different lubricant to be delivered to the user's vagina and clitoris. In such an example, the lubricant inlet port may be connected to multiple lubricant sources and configured to deliver one lubricant through a main conduit and another lubricant through a secondary conduit.

[0099] In the illustrated example, the lubricant source may be a single lubricant source, namely, the lubricant capsule 50. The lubricant inlet port 30 is a dual one-way valve configured to be fluidly connected at one end to the lubricant capsule 50 and at the other side to the main conduit 32 and the auxiliary conduit 34. The pumping mechanism 40 comprises a first peristaltic pump 42 associated with the main conduit 32 and configured to pump lubricant from the lubricant source 50 and the lubricant inlet port 30 through the main conduit 32. The pumping mechanism 40 further comprises a second peristaltic pump 44 associated with the auxiliary conduit 34 and configured to pump lubricant from the lubricant source 50 and the lubricant inlet port 30 through the auxiliary conduit 34.

[0100] The main conduit 32 extends into the primary head 20 through the primary head port 22 and is in fluid communication with the primary lubricant delivery port 26. The first peristaltic pump 42 is configured to deliver lubricant through the main conduit 32 and the primary lubricant delivery port 26 through the primary head 20 into the user when the primary head 20 is inserted into the vagina. The second peristaltic pump 44, simultaneously with or independent of the first peristaltic pump 42, is configured to deliver lubricant through the auxiliary head through the auxiliary conduit 34 and the auxiliary lubricant delivery port 16 to the user's clitoris when the auxiliary head is interacting with the clitoris. To deliver lubricant to the clitoris, the auxiliary lubricant delivery port 16 is configured to connect to the lubricant port extension of the auxiliary head when the auxiliary head is attached to the auxiliary head port 12.

[0101] The adult toy 10 further comprises a controller 60 configured to control the operation of the adult toy 10. The controller 60 may be configured to receive user preference data as user input and sensory data from one or more sensors 23 and to utilize the received data to determine the operation of the main motor 14 and / or the auxiliary motor 24 and / or the pumping mechanism 40, i.e., the first peristaltic pump 42 and the second peristaltic pump 44. The operation of the controller 60 is generally described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3 above and will be described in more detail below. The controller can control the first peristaltic pump and the second peristaltic pump in coordination with each other or independently of each other. While operating the peristaltic pumps 42 and 44 in coordination with each other, the controller can control the operation of the peristaltic pumps 42 and 44 according to a predefined pattern to suit the requirements of the user.

[0102] Furthermore, the controller 60 is configured to control the operation of the auxiliary motor 14 and / or the main motor 24 independently or in coordination with each other according to predefined patterns. In some examples, the controller 60 may be configured to control the operation of the auxiliary motor 14, the main motor 24, the first peristaltic pump 42, and the second peristaltic pump 44 according to one or more predefined patterns, each pattern adapted to a particular requirement or preference for sexual stimulation to be achieved by the adult toy. In some examples, the adult toy 10 may be equipped with different controllers (separate or forming part of a single control system) for controlling the operation of the different components.

[0103] As seen in Figures 1F-1H, the adult toy 10 includes a capsule receiving portion 52 configured to receive a lubricant capsule 50 therein and a locking mechanism 70 configured to lock the lubricant capsule 50 within the cartridge receiving portion 52 via a locking action. The lubricant inlet port 30 is configured to be in fluid communication with the lubricant capsule 50 when the lubricant capsule 50 is positioned within the capsule receiving portion 52. The inlet port 30, the capsule receiving portion 52, and the locking mechanism 70 are configured such that fluid communication between the lubricant capsule 50 and the lubricant inlet port is established during said locking action of the locking mechanism 70. The lubricant inlet port 30 and the locking mechanism 70 are positioned, and further dimensioned and oriented, such that a locking action causes engagement of the lubricant inlet port 30 with the lubricant capsule 50 to establish said fluid communication.

[0104] Although the adult toy 10 is illustrated herein as having features related to the interchangeability of the actuating head, features related to the lubricant being deliverable from two separate ports of the adult toy, and features related to the establishment of fluid communication between the lubricant inlet port and the lubricant capsule during the locking action, it should be understood that the adult toy may be realized with any one set of these features. The adult toy 10 may be realized with only features related to the establishment of fluid communication between the lubricant inlet port and the lubricant capsule during the locking action, and the adult toy does not necessarily have features related to the lubricant being deliverable from two separate ports of the adult toy and features related to the interchangeability of the actuating head. In other words, the subject matter of the present disclosure includes within its scope adult toys that have features related to the establishment of fluid communication between the lubricant inlet port and the lubricant capsule during the locking action, with interchangeable or fixedly attached actuating heads and main heads, and even with a single head, and / or do not have features related to the lubricant being deliverable from two separate ports. For example, the adult toy 10 may, according to some examples, be provided with a single fixed or replaceable head that includes features related to establishing fluid communication between a lubricant inlet port and a lubricant capsule during a locking action.

[0105] In the illustrated example, the adult toy 10 comprises a connector section 54 to which the capsule receiving portion 52 is removably connected via a locking mechanism 70. The lubricant inlet 30 and a first locking portion 72 of the locking mechanism 70 are positioned in the connector section 54. A second portion 74 of the locking mechanism is positioned in the cartridge receiving portion 52. When the capsule receiving portion 52 with the lubricant capsule 50 positioned therein is connected to the connector section 54, the lubricant inlet port 30 engages the lubricant capsule 50 and fluid communication is established by a locking action between the first portion 72 and the second portion 74 of the locking mechanism 70. The lubricant capsule 50 includes a pierceable portion 51 and is positioned within the capsule receiving portion such that the pierceable portion 51 faces the lubricant inlet port 30. The lubricant inlet port 30 has a conical end 31 configured to pierce the pierceable portion 51 when the lubricant capsule 50 is pressed against the pierceable portion 51.

[0106] In the illustrated embodiment, the locking mechanism 70 is a bayonet lock, however, it should be understood herein that the locking mechanism may be any other locking mechanism, such as a snap-fit ​​lock or a press lock, depending on the dimensions of the cartridge receiving portion and the connector section.

[0107] As can be seen from Figs. 1A-1H, the adult toy 10 further comprises a heating mechanism 80 configured to heat the lubricant in the lubricant capsule 50 before the lubricant is delivered to the user's organ. It should be understood herein that the lubricant may be delivered from any other lubricant source other than the capsule 50. The lubricant is a cannabinoid extract and may include CBD oil or THC oil. The heating mechanism may also be connected to the controller 60 for selectively operating according to operational instructions from the controller. For example, the controller may operate the heating mechanism based on user preference data indicating a preferred temperature difference between the user's body temperature and the temperature of the lubricant / almost liquid substance. To this end, the controller 60 may also utilize temperature data collected by the one or more sensors 23 to determine the user's body temperature and its fluctuations during operation.

[0108] As mentioned above, the adult toy utilizes a controller, marked as 110 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 or 60 in FIG. 4B, and one or more sensors, marked as 23 in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B. The controller may generally include a processor and memory circuitry (PMC) and may be operable to determine the operation of the adult toy according to user preference data and sensory data. Typically, the controller may be configured to communicate with an external electronic device to obtain user instructions, patience data, and optionally provide output data and / or requests for further input to the user. In this regard, FIG. 5 illustrates an electronic device 500, e.g., a smartphone, and some user input / output fields that determine or are used in the operation of the adult toy according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the input / output data fields illustrated in FIG. 5 indicate specific activity / information fields and may or may not be presented on any screens provided for the operation of the adult toy.

[0109] As illustrated in FIG. 5, in operation of the adult toy, the user may be asked to provide one or more of specific user data 510, general operation preferences 520, and additional information to determine the operation scheme of the adult toy. The user may be asked to fill out a questionnaire indicating the user data 510 and general preferences 520, and may be directed to one or more screens requesting current preferences 525, which may include operation duration preferences 528. Additionally, during operation, the electronic device may be used to transmit user input 530, including instructions for the current operation scheme, such as, for example, a request for vibration bursts, a variation in the frequency or amplitude of the operation of one or more moving members, a request for additional lubricant to be applied during operation, or a change in the amount of the active substantially liquid substance to be dispensed. Additionally, the user controls may include one or more dials 535 that allow the user to selectively adjust the operation of the adult toy and / or select specific operations at selected times. For example, a user may request that additional generally liquid substance (lubricant and / or active material) be dispensed through the primary or secondary delivery ports at selected times, causing one or more of the primary or secondary moving members to operate in a selected direction, vibration magnitude, and / or frequency.

[0110] For example, additional data that may be collected from a user using communications with the electronic device 500 may include user input following operation of the adult toy 540. Such user input may include stimulation levels 545, for example, an indication of whether the user reached orgasm during operation of the device. The adult toy's controller may be operative to store user preferences and user input in its memory in order to adjust its operation, as described in further detail below.

[0111] In some embodiments, the user may be able to select from a pre-created list of fixed motion programs 550. Such pre-created motion programs may include selection of a vibration pattern for the moving member, use of one or more auxiliary moving members, selected auxiliary heads or primary heads.

[0112] Additional data fields that may be available via the electronic device 500 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure include an indication 560 of the type of generally liquid substance used by the adult toy device. Additionally, the electronic device may provide the user with physiological and operational data collected by one or more sensors during device operation (570), and may optionally provide a specific analysis of the collected sensory data and toy operation. For example, the adult toy may store and provide statistical data regarding the number of uses, the length of each use session, measured levels of sexual stimulation, user responses to different stimulation patterns, etc.

[0113] It should be noted that although the user interface is described herein as operating within an external electronic device, the present disclosure may utilize a variety of other formats of user interfaces that allow a user to provide specific preference data that is stored in the adult toy controller.

[0114] Additionally, according to some embodiments, the user input may include data regarding a first desired short duration of operation or a second desired longer duration. Of course, there may be more than two inputs providing information on corresponding different durations of operation. The duration may provide information on the desired duration of operation of the adult sex toy until the user reaches satisfaction (typically orgasm).

[0115] Further, additional user preferences may relate to additional features of the adult toy, such as user preferences regarding motion strength / magnitude and / or frequency, such as "hard", "soft" and / or possibly others, preferred lubrication levels, such as high use of lubricant determining a lubricant dispensing threshold. Additionally, operational user preferences may relate to motion during and / or after sexual climax, for example, a user may indicate increased motion magnitude and / or frequency motion in response to sensory data indicating sexual climax (e.g., learned data based on user experience, patterns of pressure fluctuations, increased heart rate, increased humidity levels not associated with lubricant dispensing, and / or a combination of two or more such indications).

[0116] User preference input may be provided by physical means, say via a switch, or via digital input, such as using an associated electronic device as illustrated above, via a screen present on a local or remote device, all depending on the particular application.

[0117] Refer to FIG. 6, which illustrates an operation scheme of an adult toy according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As illustrated, the adult toy may be operated by its controller to receive the user's general user preference data 6010 and user selections 6020 for a current session. Such user preference data may include general user data such as age, gender, sexual experience level, and potential medical conditions, as well as user preference data related to device operation. For example, the user preference data may relate to data regarding preferred lubrication levels, vibration intensity and / or frequency, preferred location of stimulation (e.g., vagina, anus, clitoris, etc.), and the like. The controller may be operated to store the general user preferences and the user data in memory for additional operation sessions. The user's current preferences for a particular use may include any variations in user preferences and may also include data regarding duration of use. This separation allows flexibility to allow the device to learn user preferences while still allowing the user to take different approaches when desired. In general, the user preferences may also include experimental instructions that instruct the controller to add certain random variations to the operation of the moving members, one or more pumps, etc., to allow the user to experiment without directly predicting the motion patterns of the adult toy.

[0118] To begin a session, the controller responds to a "turn on" command from the user indicating that the user is ready to use the sex toy (6030). In response to the initial "turn on" instruction, the controller may operate for an initial dispense of lubricant / generally liquid substance (6040). The controller is further operative to collect sensory data, including, for example, temperature data, using one or more sensors. Using the temperature data, the controller may determine whether the main head of the sex toy is located within the body cavity or outside the body cavity (6050). Typically, the controller may determine the location of the main head based on determining a temperature within the range of 36°-40° associated with body temperature, as opposed to lower temperatures measured outside the user's body cavity.

[0119] Based on the user preference data, the controller may operate one or more moving members at a selected vibration magnitude, frequency, and pattern (6060). The controller may operate one or more moving members associated with the primary head and / or the auxiliary head to stimulate different body regions according to the user preferences. During operation, the controller is operable to receive sensory data from one or more sensors (6070). As illustrated herein, the sensory data may include data regarding conductivity, pressure fluctuations, temperature fluctuations, heart rate data, etc., collected by the one or more sensors at a selected sampling rate. The controller may process the sensory data according to the previously provided user preference data and adjust the operation of the vibrator accordingly (6080). For example, the controller may vary the operation of one or more motors that cause vibration of the moving members and / or the operation of one or more pumps to dispense the generally liquid substance through the primary delivery port and / or the auxiliary delivery port according to the sensory data, as further illustrated below with reference to FIGS. 7-9. During operation, the controller is typically operable to receive and process sensory data from the one or more sensors and adjust operation of the one or more motors and / or one or more pumps accordingly.

[0120] For example, the controller may receive and process sensory data from one or more conductivity sensors to determine moisture levels within a body cavity and / or at an external location where the structure of the sex toy interfaces with the user's body (e.g., the clitoris). Based on variations in conductivity levels, the controller may determine whether additional amounts of generally liquid substance or lubricant are needed and apply one or more pumps to dispense the substance at the respective locations via the primary and / or auxiliary liquid delivery ports. Threshold conductivity levels and / or amounts of generally liquid substance to apply may be determined using initial parameters adjusted by user preference data. Furthermore, such thresholds may be updated during a usage session based on user feedback and recorded sensory data.

[0121] Additionally, the controller may be operative to receive and process sensory data from one or more of the conductivity sensor, pressure sensor, and heart rate sensor to determine the level of sexual arousal of the user. For example, in response to a particular combination of an increase in heart rate, an increase in conductivity (not associated with pumping activity), and a pattern of pressure fluctuations, the controller may determine the level of sexual arousal and identify climax. Furthermore, the controller may utilize pre-stored user preferences associated with operational preferences during climax and apply such preferences in response to determining a sexual arousal level above a respective threshold. For example, the user may indicate in the user preferences that the adult toy is to increase vibration intensity or frequency during climax for a selected period of time. Additionally or alternatively, the user may indicate operation of the auxiliary moving member for external stimulation close to climax and / or to dispense an additional amount of the substantially liquid substance. Additional user profiles may be pre-stored according to data provided by the user. Furthermore, the controller may store sensory and operational data during each operating session and may be operative to process such stored data to optimize future operating sessions for user satisfaction. Such processing may utilize machine learning and may be performed locally at the controller or a remote server, by direct communication or via the respective electronic device.

[0122] The user preferences and operation of the adult toy may also include data regarding a desired duration of operation. The controller may therefore operate using stimulation patterns to bring the user to a preferred level of stimulation, preferably to orgasm within the desired duration of operation. To this end, the controller may record and store user responses to various stimulation types / patterns and use local or remote processing of the user responses to identify preferred patterns that increase the user's level of stimulation.

[0123] To this end, following the end of the operating session (6090), the adult toy may operate to process the collected sensory data (6100). Processing the sensory data may be performed locally or may include sending the collected sensory data to a removal processing utility. The processing may utilize machine learning techniques to identify patterns regarding user responses to various stimulation patterns. The adult toy may also generate an end of session notification to the user and respond to input data from the user (6110). User feedback may include user indications regarding enjoyment level during the operation, pleasant or less-enjoyable stimulation level, confirmation or non-confirmation regarding climax. As described above, the controller may utilize the sensory data before and / or after its processing, and utilize user feedback data to update user preferences and store the updated user preferences in memory for later use (6120).

[0124] As mentioned above, the adult toys of the present disclosure may provide a communication port to a network that allows access to one or more remote servers for processing and / or utilize wired or wireless communication to one or more associated electronic devices that may allow a simple and straightforward user interface. Thus, processing of the sensory data according to user preferences and / or user feedback data may be performed locally at the PMC and / or remotely at a dedicated server unit, while maintaining data privacy for the user data and utilizing anonymized data.

[0125] In this regard, reference is made to Figures 7-9, which illustrate certain operational actions of adult toys and their controllers according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 7 relating to temperature data, Figure 8 relating to conductivity and lubrication data sensing, and Figure 9 relating to determining a user's likelihood of orgasm.

[0126] As shown in FIG. 7, the controller is generally operable to collect (7010) temperature data from one or more temperature sensors of the sex toy. The temperature sensor may be any type of temperature / heat sensor, including, for example, a thermocouple sensor, and generally includes at least one sensor located in a main head of the sex toy at a location expected to be inserted into a user's body cavity. The controller may operate (7015) a heating unit to preheat the structure and / or generally liquid substance to a preferred operating temperature according to user preferences. The controller may utilize the temperature data to determine temperature fluctuations and determine whether the temperature is within a range associated with human body temperature, e.g., 36° C.-40° C. (7020). Thus, the controller may determine (7030) that each of the one or more sensors is within the user's body cavity, thereby indicating a status and position of the sex toy. According to the user preferences and the operation plan, the controller may operate (7040) one or more moving members to provide sexual stimulation. During operation, the controller further monitors and determines 7050 temperature variation and associates 7060 increased temperature variation as a signal for estimating climax likelihood. As noted above, the controller may request user indication and confirmation regarding climax to update the climax estimation, as described in more detail below.

[0127] FIG. 8 illustrates conductivity and humidity sensing and associated processing. As shown, the controller utilizes pre-provided data or data provided in the generally liquid substance capsule to determine the lubricant type (8010). The type of lubricant may relate to the level of conductivity of the lubricant and the presence of one or more active ingredients such as THC, CBD, etc. that may be provided in the lubricant for additional sexual stimulation. The controller further processes pre-stored user preferences regarding the lubrication level and type of lubrication (8020) and determines the conductivity / lubricant threshold (8030). During operation, the controller operates one or more conductivity sensors to collect conductivity data (8040). To this end, the conductivity sensor may generally include at least one sensor located on the primary head and may include one or more additional sensors on the auxiliary head, providing a conductivity sensor at a location on the interface between the adult toy head and the user's body. The controller utilizes the conductivity data and data regarding the type of generally liquid substance (lubricant) to determine the lubricant level based on the conductivity data (8050). This process may include pre-provided data regarding the generally liquid substance and user data regarding the conductivity of the user's bodily fluids. If the lubricant level is determined to be below the determined conductivity / lubrication threshold, the controller operates one or more pumps to dispense additional generally liquid substance (lubricant) through additional respective liquid delivery ports to bring the lubricant level to the desired level (8060). Additionally, the controller may utilize the conductivity data to determine climax likelihood (8070). In this regard, if the conductivity measurement increases without dispensing additional generally liquid substance, it may be assumed that the user's body is releasing bodily fluids as a result of sexual stimulation. Thus, the controller may determine an increase in climax likelihood and may also request user prompting / confirmation after the operating session.

[0128] The example of FIG. 9 illustrates the use of additional sensory data to determine climax likelihood, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown, the controller may operate to collect sensory data (9010), including, for example, heart rate, conductivity, pressure, and temperature, and may include one or more additional sensors. The controller or its respective processor (PMC) operates to process the sensory data (9020) according to pre-stored user preferences to determine variations and patterns in the collected sensory data. Typically, the controller may correlate variations and patterns collected using different sensor types. For example, the controller may operate to determine the pattern and amplitude of pressure variations collected by a pressure sensor (9022), determine heart rate variations collected by a heart rate sensor (9024), determine data regarding an increase in conductivity (9026), which increase in conductivity is typically unrelated to dispensing additional generally liquid material and thus indicative of a natural release of bodily fluids, and determine temperature variations associated with an increase in body temperature due to sexual stimulation (9028). The controller may operate to determine climax likelihood by itself (9030) based on each of the sensed data. However, in some preferred embodiments, the controller utilizes correlations between variations in different physiological states to increase the accuracy of determining climax likelihood. Thus, the controller may utilize a combination of one or more of an increase in frequency of pressure fluctuations combined with an increase in heart rate, release of bodily fluids, and an increase in body temperature to improve the determination of the user's climax likelihood. In this regard, determining climax likelihood may relate to determining whether the user is approaching and / or has reached sexual climax. Thus, processing the sensed data may be used to identify a level of sexual stimulation and determine a pattern of motion of the vibrator (adult toy) (9040) according to user preferences and the sensed data to move the user towards climax, and determine the motion during climax according to the user preferences at this stage.

[0129] Additionally, as described above, the adult toys and their respective controllers of the present disclosure may be configured to obtain (9050) further user feedback to enable updating of user preference data and to increase accuracy and selectivity of processing of the sensory data. In this regard, the user input may be voluntary and may relate to any selected level of detail agreed upon by the user. The user may agree to provide indications of what is more enjoyable than what is less enjoyable, to provide markings throughout a motion session regarding the user experience at each point in time, to associate with a particular motion pattern, etc., and the controller may utilize the user feedback to label the collected sensory data or utilize local or remote processing to analyze the sensory data with respect to the user feedback and update the user preferences accordingly.

[0130] 10 further illustrates a list of decision parameters related to the operation of an adult toy, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Typically, the adult toy may include an initial base operation protocol 10010, which may generally be tailored to user preferences 10015, typically provided as input by a user. The user preferences may relate to the user's general preferences as well as current preferences that apply to each particular operation session. Thus, the operation of the adult toy may be determined based on the user preference data 10015 combined with detected stimulation data regarding stimulation levels 10040, typically obtained from one or more sensors.

[0131] For example, the user preference data 10015 may include data regarding stimulation location 10020 and data regarding stimulation level preferred by the user 10030. In this regard, the user may prefer, for example, external stimulation 10022 using an auxiliary head stimulating an external body part, internal stimulation 10024 where the sex toy is mostly active within the body cavity, or combined stimulation 10026 that is both internal and external. Additionally, the user preferences may relate to the intensity of stimulation 10030, intense 10032, medium 10034, build-up of stimulation from gentle to intense 10036, or gentle stimulation 10038. It should be noted that the number of options and the particular intensity gauge for each option may vary and is not bound by this particular example.

[0132] During operation, based on the user preference data, a controller of an adult toy according to the present disclosure receives and processes sensory data from one or more sensors, including, for example, one or more of a conductivity (humidity) sensor, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and a heart rate sensor, to determine a user response to stimulation and a stimulation level 10040. For example, the controller may determine that a user is between a warm-up level 10052, a build-up stimulation 10054, a climaxing state 10056, and a post-climax relaxing state 10058. Processing of the sensory data may also determine other conditions 10042 that may be associated with other user conditions, such as a medical condition, additional user input, a user stopping the session, etc.

[0133] The controller may utilize mathematical algorithms, machine learning, or other processing techniques to process the input data and determine the current operation of the motors and / or lubricant dispensing (10060). In this regard, in accordance with the user preferences, the controller may determine the level of motor operation α for each motor (i) operating in the adult toy. i This may include one or more main head motors and / or one or more auxiliary head motors. In addition, the controller may determine one or more lubricant thresholds β for lubricant (a generally liquid substance) dispensed through the main conduit and / or the auxiliary conduit. jIn some embodiments, lubricant thresholds and motor operation levels may also be determined based on the data lubricant material. For example, a lubricant containing an active ingredient, such as CBD, THC, or other active ingredient, may be dispensed in a selected amount, but the actual amount and timing may vary based on the active ingredient.

[0134] During or following a usage session, the controller may operate to update the pre-stored user preference data with data regarding the user's response to the stimulation (10070). In this regard, the controller may assign stimulation scores to the different operation modes at the user's respective stimulation levels. For example, a motor action at a given frequency may be assigned one score when used for warm-up stimulation, another score when used during the build-up of sexual stimulation, a third score when used during orgasm, and a fourth score when used during relaxation. The controller may determine the user response to the different actions of the adult toy at each stimulation stage and increase or decrease the respective scores according to the user responses collected in the sensory data. For example, a response associated with a gradual increase in heart rate during warm-up or build-up stimulation may cause an increase in the score. If there is a sudden increase in heart rate, possibly combined with a decrease in pressure and temperature, this may indicate the user rejection of the toy action and lead to a decrease in the respective score of this action.

[0135] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the adult toy may register mood data of the user. Such mood data may be provided by the user in the user criteria data prior to the operating session. The controller may store the mood data and data relating to the respective sensory data collected during the early stages of the respective usage session. Furthermore, the controller may operate to correlate the general sensory data during the early usage stages to previous data collected along with the indicated mood data provided by the user. The controller may further utilize such correlation to estimate the user's mood state during further usage and adjust the operating level accordingly.

[0136] Starting with a base operating level, based on preferences selected by the user and optionally mood data. The controller may vary the operating level based on inputs to the stimulation level obtained by one or more sensors to provide the user with an optimal experience within a preferred operating duration (typically determined by the user). For example, an increase in heart rate may indicate a progression of the stimulation level, which may result in the controller increasing the operating level (amplitude and / or frequency of vibration) by a selected amount. An increase in heart rate above a certain rate may indicate overstimulation or other conditions, leading to the controller decreasing the operating level to provide the user with a preferred build-up / warm-up period. Similarly, an increase in temperature and / or pressure fluctuations may indicate a build-up of the stimulation level. Thus, the controller may determine whether the build-up rate is within the range of user preferences and an increase / decrease in the maintenance operating level.

[0137] Additionally, the controller may determine that the stimulation level has reached climax based on a combination of one or more of an increase in heart rate, a pressure fluctuation pattern, an increase in temperature, and a spontaneous (non-lubricant-dispensing-related) increase in humidity (10056). The controller may store a user preference for a climax action, which may include increasing the action level, maintaining the action level, or gradually decreasing the action level, and may operate one or more motors accordingly to relax the user for a selected climax duration.

[0138] For example, the controller may determine climax based on identifying one or more of the following: pelvic muscle contractions at a rate of about 1 Hz for a duration of at least 5 seconds, increased humidity that does not correlate with lubricant distribution, an increase in heart rate of about 10-25% of the warm-up heart rate, and a temperature increase of 0.5° C. to 1° C. or more during operation. The climax period may take 20-35 seconds. However, this period may vary between users.

[0139] Additionally, the controller may regulate the heating of the structure head and / or generally liquid substance according to user preferences and may adjust the heating level to a peak level to equalize the temperature and enhance enjoyment.
