Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wearable devices for male genitalia are not easy to carry and lack the ability to effectively radiate light with specific wavelength bands to improve male reproductive function and increase testosterone levels.

Innovation Solution

A wearable device for male genitalia comprising a half-ring body with a hinge and light radiation device that adjusts to fit the penis and scrotum, using point light sources, surface light sources, or micro LED elements to emit light within a predetermined wavelength band for a set duration, optionally with diffusion or reflector panels to enhance light distribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a wearable device for male genitalia is designed to be compact and portable, then ease of carry is improved, but the ability to radiate light with specific wavelength bands effectively may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of carryVSAvoidlight radiation effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The device divides the light radiation function into multiple independent LED modules (first, second, third, and fourth light emitting modules) distributed around the genitalia. Each module contains LEDs emitting at specific wavelengths (e.g., 630-680nm, 780-850nm) to target different tissue areas independently, maintaining effective light radiation while keeping each module compact and the overall device portable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the device emit light at different wavelength bands tailored to specific physiological needs: red light (630-680nm) for general circulation, near-infrared (780-850nm) for deeper tissue penetration. The hinge mechanism allows local adjustment of each module's position to optimize light delivery to specific areas of the penis and scrotum, ensuring effective treatment while maintaining a compact form factor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If the device structure is simplified for ease of carry, then portability is improved, but the ability to maintain consistent contact and positioning may be worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of carryVSAvoidconsistent contact
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device incorporates a hinge mechanism connecting the first and second bodies, allowing dynamic adjustment of the angle between them. This enables the device to adapt to different anatomical positions and maintain consistent contact with the genitalia during movement or changes in posture, while the overall simplified half-ring structure remains compact and easy to carry.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The device uses flexible elastic bands as coupling elements between the light emitting modules and the body structures. These elastic bands provide flexible connection that maintains consistent contact pressure and positioning reliability while allowing the device to conform to the contours of the genitalia, all within a compact portable design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Area of stationary object

If multiple light emitting modules are added to cover wide area, then treatment effectiveness is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage areaVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device divides the treatment area into four distinct light emitting modules, each responsible for a specific region. The first module targets the penile shaft, the second module targets the glans, the third module targets the left scrotum, and the fourth module targets the right scrotum. This segmentation achieves wide area coverage while keeping each module simple and the overall structure manageable through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each light emitting module is designed to be multi-functional: they can independently emit at different wavelength bands (red and near-infrared), can be adjusted to different angles via the hinge mechanism, and can be positioned to treat various anatomical structures. This universality allows a single compact device structure to achieve wide area coverage without proportionally increasing complexity.

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