Solution Overview

Problem

Existing pelvic floor muscle massage devices, such as Ben Wa balls, lack therapeutic functionality beyond sexual stimulation and are not designed for comfortable, regular use in a home environment, and conventional medical devices for photobiostimulation are not suitable for consumer use or effective in treating vaginal relaxation syndrome and gynecological issues.

Innovation Solution

A love ball with integrated LED irradiation and a control circuit for photobiostimulation, designed for comfortable insertion, providing low-intensity light therapy to stimulate collagen synthesis and tissue rejuvenation, while being safe and user-friendly for home use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional medical devices for photobiostimulation are used, then therapeutic effect is achieved, but device complexity and cost increase making them unsuitable for consumer home use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines photobiostimulation therapy with erotic massage functionality into a single device. The treatment body integrates both therapeutic irradiation capabilities and sexual stimulation features, eliminating the need for separate medical devices while making therapy accessible for home use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The device serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides photobiostimulation for tissue rejuvenation, pelvic floor muscle training through mechanical massage, and sexual stimulation. This multi-functionality reduces device complexity compared to using separate specialized medical devices for each purpose.

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

2Reliability

If high irradiance is used for photobiostimulation, then therapeutic effect is enhanced, but pain and discomfort occur during use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectVSAvoidpain
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses low irradiances (0.01-10 mW/cm²) that are insufficient for immediate intense therapeutic effect but provide gentle, painless stimulation. The prolonged duration of application at these lower intensities achieves cumulative therapeutic benefits without causing pain or discomfort during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The device changes the irradiance parameter to low levels specifically suited for intravaginal application, different from conventional high-intensity medical photobiostimulation devices. This parameter adjustment eliminates pain while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness through extended exposure time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If the treatment body is designed for complete insertion into vaginal lumen, then comfort and therapeutic coverage are improved, but device weight and size increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecomfortVSAvoidweight
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The treatment body is constructed as a flexible, thin-walled structure that can be completely inserted into the vaginal lumen without excessive weight. The flexible material allows the device to conform to body contours while maintaining structural integrity, providing comfort without the burden of heavy rigid components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The love ball effectively rejuvenates vaginal tissue by stimulating collagen synthesis and treating gynecological issues like cervical dysplasia and infections, offering a comfortable and affordable solution for vaginal rejuvenation and muscle strengthening.

Implementation Method 1

an irradiation device, in particular an LED irradiation device, integrated into the treatment body

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectLight Emitting Diode: Light Emitting Diode

Implementation Method 2

The invention is based on the basic idea of using a love ball for photobiostimulation of surrounding tissue. The light emission of one or more light emitters of the love ball should be within a range suitable for preventing apoptosis and cell death, stimulating proliferation, migration, and collagen synthesis of fibroblasts

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectPhotobiostimulation:
