Solution Overview

Problem

Current sexual stimulation devices lack natural control mechanisms, often requiring awkward button or dial manipulations that interrupt the user's experience and do not replicate the natural motions associated with the device's actions.

Innovation Solution

A motion-sensing controller system that uses natural motions to control a male sexual stimulation device, featuring a reciprocating linear motion driver and rotational capabilities, allowing for intuitive control through wireless communication and sensors to mimic the natural movements of sexual intercourse.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If on-device controls with buttons, dials, or sliders are used, then the device can be controlled, but the control is awkward to manipulate during use and interrupts the user's experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of controlVSAvoidcontrol mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a separate motion-sensing controller as an intermediary device that communicates wirelessly with the sexual stimulation device. This mediator allows the user to control the device through natural hand movements rather than manipulating buttons or dials on the device itself, thereby improving ease of operation while reducing the complexity of the main device's control mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical control system (buttons, dials, sliders) with a wireless electronic control system. The motion-sensing controller detects hand movements through sensors and transmits control signals wirelessly to the device, eliminating the need for physical contact controls and enabling more natural, intuitive operation

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

2Ease of operation

If on-device controls are used, then settings can be changed, but the controls do not represent a natural association with the actions of the device

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenatural control associationVSAvoidcontrol flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical controls with a motion-sensing system that detects natural hand movements. The controller senses the user's hand motions and translates them into corresponding device actions, creating a natural association between the user's physical movements and the device's responses while maintaining flexibility through programmable motion patterns

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

3Reliability

If discrete step controls are used, then settings can be adjusted, but the stimulation is suboptimal and hygiene issues arise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestimulation qualityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces discrete mechanical step controls with a continuous motion-sensing control system. The wireless controller detects subtle variations in hand movement and translates them into smooth, continuous adjustments of device parameters, enabling more precise and optimal stimulation control while maintaining reliability

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

Solution Approach 2:

The motion-sensing controller serves as an intermediary that enables more precise control over stimulation parameters. By detecting fine-grained hand movements and translating them into corresponding device adjustments, the mediator allows for optimized stimulation patterns while keeping the main device's internal control system relatively simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A system and method for controlling sexual stimulation devices using motion-sensing controllers. The system comprises a male sexual stimulation device and a motion sensing controller configured to control the operation of the reciprocating linear motion driver. In operation, natural motions of a user with the motion sensing controller result in corresponding motions of the male sexual stimulation device such as reciprocal linear motions and rotational motions.
