Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems for controlling adult toys do not adequately account for the environment in which these devices are used, lacking an efficient method to adjust controls based on the user's surroundings.

Innovation Solution

A system that includes an accessory control module, comprising computer-executable code, a processor, an accessory of a user, and a terminal device, which determines the distance between the terminal device and either the accessory or a user device, and controls the accessory to perform predetermined actions for sexual stimulation based on this distance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional systems control adult toys using user devices without distance sensing, then the control system is simple, but the system cannot adapt to different usage environments and lacks precision in delivering intended stimulation based on user proximity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistance measurement precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a distance sensing module as an intermediary component between the user device and the adult toy. This mediator measures the physical distance between the user and the device, providing environmental context that enables adaptive control without requiring complex user input or processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical control (physical manipulation of controls) with automated sensing and processing systems. The distance sensing module automatically detects user proximity and triggers appropriate responses without requiring the user to manually adjust settings, substituting mechanical interaction with sensor-based automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system adds distance sensing capabilities to control adult toys, then the adaptability to environment improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental adaptabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The distance sensing module serves multiple functions: it measures user proximity, determines usage environment (private vs. public), and automatically adjusts device operation accordingly. This single component provides environmental adaptability across multiple scenarios without requiring separate control mechanisms for each situation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically senses environmental conditions and adjusts its operation without requiring user intervention. The distance sensing module and control system work together to self-adjust the adult toy's behavior based on measured distance, eliminating the need for users to manually configure settings for different environments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
