## Abstract

A synchronized video control system for sexual stimulation devices that allows for automated synchronization of a compatible device with videos of sexual activity to provide the user a sensation imitating the activity depicted in the video, and further allows for customization of the experience based on the user's biometric data.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A control system for sexual stimulation devices that allows for automated synchronization of a compatible stimulation device with a video of sexual activity, comprising:
a video analysis engine comprising a first plurality of programming instructions stored in a memory of, and operating on at least one processor of, a computer system, wherein the first plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the at least one processor, cause the computer system to:
input a video comprising depictions of sexual activity;
parse the video into information comprising at least one component corresponding to the depictions of sexual activity shown in the video; and
output at least one signal corresponding to the parsed video information to a device controller; and
the device controller comprising a second plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory of, and operating on the at least one processor of, the computer system, wherein the second plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the at least one processor, cause the computer system to:
transmit the at least one signal, synchronized with the video, to a compatible stimulation device such that compatible stimulation device emulates the at least one component corresponding to the depictions of sexual activity shown in the video.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the control system further comprises a biometric sensor receiver allowing capture of a user's biometric data from one or more biometric sensors and using the data to adjust an operation of the compatible stimulation device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising:
a control interface comprising a third plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory of, and operating on the at least one processor of, the computer system, wherein the third plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the at least one processor, cause the computer system to:
allow a user to enter a parameter for an operation of the compatible stimulation device; and
use the parameter to control the operation of the compatible stimulation device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The system of claim 3, wherein biometric data for the user are entered into the control interface either manually, or automatically through sensors in the compatible stimulation device, and used in conjunction with the parameter entered by the user to adjust the operation of the compatible stimulation device.

### Claim 5

A method for controlling sexual stimulation devices that allows for automated synchronization of a compatible stimulation device with a video of sexual activity, comprising the steps of:
(a) inputting a video comprising depictions of sexual activity;
(b) parsing the video into information comprising at least one component corresponding to the depictions of sexual activity shown in the video;
(c) outputting at least one signal corresponding to the parsed video information to a device controller; and
(d) transmitting the at least one signal, synchronized with the video, to a compatible stimulation device such that the compatible stimulation device emulates the at least one component corresponding to the depictions of sexual activity shown in the video.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, further comprising the steps of:
(e) capturing biometric data of a user from one or more biometric sensors and using the biometric data to adjust an operation of the compatible stimulation device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, further comprising the steps of:
(f) allowing a user to enter a parameter for an operation of the compatible stimulation device; and
(g) using the parameter to control the operation of the compatible stimulation device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, further comprising the steps of:
(h) entering biometric data for the user either manually, or automatically through sensors in the compatible stimulation device, and using the biometric data in conjunction with the parameter entered by the user to adjust the operation of the compatible stimulation device.
