## Abstract

A sexual preference transfer function that combines the masturbatory action of a first person with the expressed or non-expressed sexual preferences of a second person. A sexual preference transfer function is utilized to improve the control or influence of a sexual pleasure device in contact with a second person based on autonomic and/or manually collected data.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A remotely operable personal massaging system, comprising:
an input device configured to receive input from a first person;
data acquisition electronics configured to receive an input signal representing the input from the input device, and configured to convert the input signal to a corresponding set of input data;
data transmission electronics in communication with the data acquisition electronics and configured to transmit an output signal representing data including a representation of the set of input data
a primary pleasure device disposed at a remote location and operable to deliver a physical stimulus to a second person situated at the remote location;
an output correlation unit configured to receive the output signal from the data transmission electronics, said output correlation unit comprising signal conditioning electronics configured to drive the pleasure device according to an actuation sequence correlating to the output signal; and
an input module configured to receive a set of control parameters from the second person and deliver a set of output data, corresponding to the set of control parameters, to the output correlation unit, wherein the output correlation unit is configured to adjust the actuation sequence based on the set of output data from the input module.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, wherein the set of control parameters corresponds to a natural sexual pattern of the second person.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, wherein the set of control parameters comprises physiologic data unique to the second person.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, wherein the input received from the input device corresponds to measured physiological motions of the first person.

### Claim 5

A method of sharing sexual pleasure between remotely situated individuals, the method comprising:
measuring motions of self-pleasure of a first person using a first pleasure device;
transmitting a data signal corresponding to the measured motions to an output correlation unit;
receiving a set of control parameters from a second person;
correlating the data signal with the control parameters and creating a corresponding output signal; and
driving a second pleasure device, disposed in a location remote from the first pleasure device, with the output signal, thereby to provide a physical stimulus of a sexual nature to the second person using the second pleasure device, wherein the control parameters are used to influence the physical stimulus of the pleasure device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method according to claim 5, further comprising superimposing the physical stimulus of the second pleasure device with a physiological motion of the second person.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The method according to claim 5, further comprising measuring motions of self-pleasure of the second person using the second pleasure device;
transmitting a second data signal corresponding to the measured motions of self-pleasure of the second person to the first pleasure device;
correlating the second data signal with a second output signal according to a second transfer function; and
driving the first pleasure device with the second output signal to provide a physical stimulus of a sexual nature to the first person based on the measured motions of self-pleasure of the second person.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The method according to claim 5, wherein the second person has dynamic control over the control parameters of the second device, but has no direct physical control of the second device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein correlation between the control data and the set of control parameters is executed according to a transfer function.

### Claim 10

A method comprising:
receiving input from a first person;
transmitting a data signal corresponding to the input to an output correlation unit;
receiving a set of control parameters from a second person;
correlating the data signal with the control parameters and creating a corresponding output signal; and
driving a pleasure device with the output signal, thereby to provide a physical stimulus of a sexual nature to the second person using the pleasure device, wherein the control parameters are used to influence the physical stimulus of the pleasure device.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein receiving input comprises measuring a physiological motion of the first person.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein receiving input comprises measuring motions of self-pleasure of the first person.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the input comprises a frequency of vibration, an amplitude of vibration, a change in direction or magnitude of an applied force, or voice data.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the control parameters comprise data specific to the second person.

### Claim 15 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the control parameters comprise measured data associated with blood pressure, blood oximetry, or skin conductivity of the second person.

### Claim 16 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprising storing the set of control parameters.

### Claim 17 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the control parameters comprise an amplitude modification imposed manually by the second person, a frequency modification imposed manually by the second person, a force modification imposed manually by the second person, a force modification imposed manually by the second person, a direction modification imposed manually by the second person, data associated with vocalizations of the second person, or an auxiliary motion modification imposed manually by the second person.

### Claim 18 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the control parameters comprise physiologic data sensed on the body of the second person, or data associated with an input imposed by the second person that is dissimilar from the input received from the first person.

### Claim 19 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprising varying the output signal as a function of time.

### Claim 20 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein correlation between the control data and the set of control parameters is executed according to a transfer function.

### Claim 21

A remotely operable personal massaging system, comprising:
one or more sensors configured to measure a physiological motion of a first person;
data acquisition electronics configured to receive an input signal representing the measured physiological motion from the sensors, and configured to convert the input signal to a corresponding set of motion data;
data transmission electronics in communication with the data acquisition electronics and configured to transmit an output signal representing data including a representation of the set of motion data to a remote location;
a primary pleasure device disposed at the remote location and operable to deliver a physical stimulus to a second person situated at the remote location;
an output correlation unit disposed at the remote location and configured to receive the output signal from the data transmission electronics, said output correlation unit comprising signal conditioning electronics configured to drive the pleasure device according to an actuation sequence correlating to the output signal; and
