Abstract

An excitation device, preferably including: stimulation units; a sensor; a processor configured to control the stimulation units; a power module configured to power excitation device components; and a housing configured to house the other excitation device components and to couple the excitation device to a user. A control device, preferably including one or more outputs and a housing. A method for sexual stimulation, preferably including: sampling measurements, determining actuation parameters, and actuating stimulation units.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A method for excitation device control, the method comprising:

coupling an excitation device, comprising a magnetometer and a plurality of haptic actuators, to a user, wherein each haptic actuator of the plurality is configured to provide haptic stimulus to the user;
arranging a control device in a first arrangement relative to the excitation device, the control device comprising a magnet;
at the excitation device, while the control device is arranged in the first arrangement, detecting a first magnetic field generated by the control device;
based on the first magnetic field, selecting a first haptic actuator from the plurality, wherein the first arrangement defines:
a first distance between the control device and the first haptic actuator;
and
a second distance, greater than the first distance, between the control device and a second haptic actuator;
based on a strength of the first magnetic field, determining a first intensity and a second intensity less than the first intensity;
and
in response to detecting the first magnetic field, controlling the plurality of haptic actuators based on the first magnetic field, comprising:
controlling the first haptic actuator to actuate at the first intensity;
and
controlling the second haptic actuator to actuate at the second intensity.

10 more elements

A method for excitation device control, the excitation device comprising a sensor and a plurality of haptic actuators, the method comprising:

at the sensor, sampling a measurement indicative of a first position, relative to the excitation device, of a control device;
based on the measurement, selecting a first haptic actuator from the plurality, wherein, in the first position, the control device is closer to the first haptic actuator than to any other haptic actuator of the plurality;
based on the measurement, determining a first metric associated with a first distance between the excitation device and the control device in the first position;
based on the first metric, determining a first intensity;
in response to sampling the measurement, controlling the first haptic actuator to actuate at the first intensity;
and
substantially concurrent with controlling the first haptic actuator to actuate at the first intensity, controlling a second haptic actuator of the plurality to actuate at a second intensity less than the first intensity.

4 more elements

A method for excitation device control, the excitation device comprising a magnetometer and a plurality of haptic actuators, the method comprising:

at the magnetometer, sampling a measurement comprising a magnetic field direction and a first magnetic field strength;
based on the magnetic field direction, selecting a first haptic actuator from the plurality;
based on the measurement, determining a first intensity based on the magnetic field strength;
in response to sampling the measurement, controlling the first haptic actuator to actuate at the first intensity;
at the magnetometer, sampling a second measurement comprising a second magnetic field direction and a second magnetic field strength greater than the first magnetic field strength;
based on the second magnetic field direction, selecting the first haptic actuator;
based on the second measurement, determining a second intensity greater than the first intensity;
and
in response to sampling the second measurement, controlling the first haptic actuator to actuate at the second intensity.
