Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing interactive toys in the adult entertainment industry lack a further degree of physical interactivity and sensation in remote user interactions.
Innovation Solution
A system that allows a first user to manipulate a sex toy, transmitting data related to stroking and constricting sensations to a second user's toy through sensors and motors controlling elastomeric pads for dynamic and proportional physical feedback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If basic data signal transmission is used between remote users, then system complexity is reduced, but physical interactivity and sensation are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising sensors, data processors, and actuators that mediate between users. Sensors detect physical manipulations, convert them to data signals, transmit signals remotely, and actuators convert received signals back into physical sensations, enabling realistic remote physical interaction without requiring direct physical contact between users
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces direct mechanical interaction with an electronic data transmission system. Instead of requiring physical presence and direct mechanical contact, the system uses sensors to convert mechanical manipulations into electrical data signals, transmits them through communication networks, and uses actuators to recreate physical sensations remotely, substituting mechanical coupling with electronic information exchange
2Reliability
If simple sensor and motor systems are used, then device complexity is reduced, but sensation realism and dynamic response are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic systems where sensors continuously detect real-time manipulations and actuators dynamically respond with proportional physical sensations. The system adjusts the intensity, speed, and type of sensations based on the detected manipulation characteristics, creating realistic and responsive remote interaction that adapts to user actions rather than providing fixed pre-programmed responses
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes feedback loops where sensors detect user manipulations, convert them to data signals, transmit them to remote actuators, and the actuators generate physical sensations that feed back to the user. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that remote actions produce realistic sensory feedback, enhancing sensation realism through continuous detection-transmission-actuation cycles
