Motion-Based Accessory Control via User Device Sensors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional control systems for imaging devices that provide images of human models lack efficiency and user-centric control, as they typically rely on direct human operation, leading to uncertainty for viewers and are not conditioned by the user's viewing experience.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising an accessory control module with sensors, a processor, and a user device that senses velocity or acceleration, determining if it falls within predetermined ranges to control motors or heaters in accessories, such as adult toys, to provide real-time, user-conditioned control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If direct control of imaging devices by the model is used, then the model has full discretion over device operation, but this results in significant uncertainty for the user viewing the content
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by using sensors to detect user device motion and transmitting this information to control the accessory device. This creates a closed-loop system where user actions directly influence the model device operation, providing predictable and controllable experience for the user while maintaining model device functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary control system that translates user device motion into accessory device commands. This intermediary layer (comprising sensors, processors, and communication modules) mediates between the user's viewing experience and the model device operation, eliminating direct model control while maintaining system coordination.
2Device complexity
If imaging devices are controlled independently of user viewing conditions, then device operation is simple and direct, but the system lacks adaptability to user experience conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts accessory device operation based on real-time detection of user device motion characteristics. Control parameters such as velocity and acceleration thresholds are dynamically evaluated to adjust accessory behavior, enabling the system to respond to varying user viewing conditions while maintaining operational simplicity through automated sensing and processing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If motion sensing and range determination systems are added to enable user-conditioned control, then adaptability to user viewing conditions improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs universal components that serve multiple functions: sensors detect various motion parameters (velocity, acceleration), the processor performs multiple operations (data processing, range determination, command generation), and the communication system handles both data transmission and control signaling. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity despite the enhanced adaptability requirements.
