Solution Overview

Problem

Current remote vibrating adult toys lack visual feedback to users or viewers, making it unclear whether the toy is vibrating during a performance, which can lead to dissatisfaction and a lack of interactivity in adult entertainment experiences.

Innovation Solution

An accessory for adult toys that includes a vibration motor, controller, light source, and control circuit to provide visual feedback via a light source, such as LEDs, indicating the vibration status, which can be actuated by a controller or sensed by a vibration sensor, and powered by a module connected to the toy's power source.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a remote vibrating adult toy is used during video streaming, then the model can receive vibration stimulation, but the viewer cannot confirm whether the toy is actually vibrating

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration status informationVSAvoidaccessory structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies color changes by using an LED light source that changes color or illuminates to indicate the vibration status of the adult toy. The light source is configured to emit light when the vibration motor is actuated, providing visual feedback to the viewer about the toy's operational state without adding complex mechanical components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses an intermediary approach by introducing a light source as a mediator between the vibration motor and the viewer. The light source converts the mechanical vibration state into optical signals that can be transmitted through the video stream, allowing the viewer to indirectly observe the vibration status without direct mechanical connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If visual feedback is added to indicate vibration status, then viewer confidence and interactivity improve, but the device complexity and manufacturing cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer confirmation of toy operationVSAvoidaccessory assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing the accessory to serve multiple functions: the light source not only indicates vibration status but can also be controlled to provide visual stimulation synchronized with the vibration. The control circuit can operate in different modes based on received signals, making the accessory adaptable to various usage scenarios without requiring separate components.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by configuring the control circuit to automatically control the light source based on the vibration motor's actuation state. The system self-regulates the visual feedback without requiring manual intervention, and can even operate autonomously by detecting its own vibration state through a vibration sensor, reducing the need for complex external control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
