Abstract
A system for sexual stimulation includes a first sexual stimulation device having a first sensor and a first actuator and a second sexual stimulation device having a second sensor and a second actuator. The first sexual stimulation device is configured to communicate information from the first sensor to actuate the second actuator of the second sexual stimulation device and the second sexual stimulation device is configured to communicate information from the second sensor to actuate the first actuator of the first sexual stimulation device.
Claims21
A system for sexual stimulation comprising:
- a first sexual stimulation device having a sensor, a sleeve having a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the sleeve to a distal end of the sleeve, and a first ring configured to translate over the sleeve along the longitudinal axis, the first ring further configured to change in diameter to vary an amount of constriction placed on the sleeve;
- and
- a second sexual stimulation device having a controller, an actuator, an elongate body having a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the elongate body to a distal end of the elongate body, and an expandable second ring configured to translate along the longitudinal axis and to change diameter;
- wherein the first sexual stimulation device is configured to communicate information from the sensor to the second sexual stimulation device through an encoded audio signal;
- and wherein the controller is configured to decode the encoded audio signal to actuate the actuator to drive the expandable second ring based on the decoded audio signal.
A system for sexual stimulation comprising:
- a first sexual stimulation device having a sensor, a sleeve having a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the sleeve to a distal end of the sleeve, a first ring configured to translate over the sleeve along the longitudinal axis, the first ring further configured to change in diameter to vary an amount of constriction placed on the sleeve, and a first controller configured to control actuation of the first ring and a first processor configured to encode a parameter sensed by the first sensor as a first audio signal;
- and
- a second sexual stimulation device having a sensor, an elongate body having a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the elongate body to a distal end of the elongate body, an expandable second ring configured to translate along the longitudinal axis and to change diameter, a second controller configured to control actuation of the second ring, and a second processor configured to encode a parameter sensed by the second sensor as a second audio signal;
- wherein the first controller is configured to actuate the first ring based on the second audio signal, and wherein the second controller is configured to actuate the second ring based on the first audio signal.
A method of communicating between a pair of sexual stimulation devices, the method comprising:
- encoding a sensed parameter from a first sexual stimulation device as an audio signal, the first sexual stimulation device having:
- a sensor, a sleeve with a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the sleeve to a distal end of the sleeve, and a first ring configured to translate over the sleeve along the longitudinal axis, the first ring further configured to change in diameter to vary an amount of constriction placed on the sleeve;
- transmitting the audio signal from the first stimulation device to a second sexual stimulation device, wherein the second sexual stimulation device includes:
- a controller, an actuator, an elongate body having a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the elongate body to a distal end of the elongate body, and an expandable second ring configured to translate along the longitudinal axis and to change diameter;
- and
- actuating the expandable second ring based upon the audio signal.
