Solution Overview

Problem

Current solutions for delayed orgasm in men are ineffective, and existing implantable nerve stimulators require surgery, posing a need for a non-invasive and effective method to induce or expedite orgasm.

Innovation Solution

A wearable penile nerve stimulator device with a neurostimulator module and electrodes, allowing for electrical stimulation of the dorsal genital nerve and other penile regions, which can be controlled remotely or through a user interface, and is designed for durability and ease of use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If implantable nerve stimulators are used to treat delayed orgasm, then orgasm induction effectiveness is improved, but surgical implantation and removal procedures are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveorgasm induction effectivenessVSAvoidsurgical implantation and removal
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into two separate components: a reusable neurostimulator module that contains the control electronics and battery, and a disposable wearable component that includes the electrodes and contacts. This segmentation allows the neurostimulator to be removed and reused while only the external wearable portion needs to be discarded, eliminating the need for surgical implantation while maintaining effective nerve stimulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The neurostimulator module is extracted from the implantable device and made external and reusable. By taking out the control unit and making it separable from the wearable component, the system eliminates the need for surgical implantation while preserving the core neurostimulation functionality that provides effective orgasm induction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Device complexity

If a reusable neurostimulator module is used, then device cost and complexity are reduced, but battery recharging capability is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidbattery recharging
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The reusable neurostimulator module includes a rechargeable battery with a built-in charging mechanism that can be recharged through a charging port on the device housing. This self-service capability allows the device to replenish its own energy supply without requiring external replacement or complex disposal procedures, reducing overall device complexity and cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Devices are provided for inducing orgasm that include a ring or other wearable component sized for placement around a penis, the ring including one or more electrodes for delivering electrical stimulae to the penis, and a neurostimulator module. The neurostimulator module may include a controller coupled to the one or more electrodes for controlling delivery of the electrical stimulae, and a communications interface coupled to the controller for receiving external commands related to delivery of the electrical stimulae.
