This invention relates to an electronic monitoring device called “HELU” [Hawaiian for TALLY] which Measures Body Metrics like Pulse, Heart Rates, and Blood Pressure at rest, and which analyzes erectile performance that is used to monitor, analyze and optimize all characteristics of Sexual Activity and Erectile Dysfunction. The performance and analyzer (HELU) device is worn on the penis of the individual person during sexual activity or at rest. Called the HELU, the device relates to a kind of monitoring and medical devices, more particularly to a kind of electronic intelligence sexual function monitoring, diagnosing instrument. This relates to physiology detection apparatus fields to be used for male sex organ erection more particularly, to penis intelligence ring. The detection of function records the blood pressure, tumescence or rigidity and potentially other body metrics. The HELU relates to a device for measuring body metrics such as blood pressure, heart rate, pulse, and which analyzes erectile performance that is used to monitor, analyze and optimize all characteristics of Sexual Activity and Erectile Dysfunction. This is all based on wireless data transmission of the physiological changes at the penis during the performance of the sexual act. Baseline data is achieved by monitoring the data when the person is at rest.

None.
As far as known, there is no special electronic monitor for measuring body metrics and analyzing erectile dysfunction which is worn on a penis during sexual activity or the like. It is believed that this product is unique in its design and technologies.
This background is for a special electronic monitor for measuring body metrics and analyzing erectile dysfunction which is worn on a penis during sexual activity or the like. The sensing and measurement of body metrics like heart rates, pulse, blood pressure, calories being burned has been in the medical field for many years, but not traditionally monitored during sexual activity. An objective device and manner to monitor and compare sexual arousal and analyze erectile performance in human beings has been attempted over the years by means which detect the swelling and color changes of parts of the male and female human body due to engorgement with blood in response to sexual arousal. Sexual performance and erectile dysfunction have not been as easy to track. The old adage—it is not the pen but penmanship—comes to mind. However, how can this be objectively tracked without emotion or the relationship of the parties biasing and affecting the results. Moods and the current emotion play a role, but is there a scientific manner to objectively measure one's sexual performance? Yes. Erectile performance can be analyzed and the pressure and force exerted during sexual activity is a common metric. It is believed that up to this present invention, pressure and force exerted have not been measured.
Measuring and monitoring rigidity and erection of a penis and arterial-venous flows has been attempted but no real medical device for measuring sexual function. The sensing and measurement of sexual arousal in human beings has been attempted over the years by means which detect the swelling and color changes of parts of the male and female human body due to engorgement with blood in response to sexual arousal. The prior apparatus and methods of determining male sexual arousal are primarily based on the enlargement in diameter of the penis in response to sexual arousal. Such changes in diameter are primarily measured using three types ox devices; a mercury-in-rubber detector, an iridium gallium detector, and a flexible metal detector. However, each of the three devices are resistant to size changes and thus require a certain amount of force to deform or stretch which can skew the actual measurements. Another known method of detecting spontaneous erections is to wrap a strip; of postage stamps about the penis to form a continuous ring before going to sleep. A positive indication is obtained if the ring of stamps bursts during sleep. This method relates only to the onset of tumescence and does not indicate whether the penis has become rigid. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a technique for detecting and accurately measuring both the degree of tumescence and the performance or stroke pressure achieved during the sexual act. Also, there are various sex products are available in the market. Some of them are beneficial, however, several, of them are merely a gimmick of one sort or another.
Pedometers are designed to detect vertical movement at the hip and so measure the number of steps and provide an estimate of distance walked. They cannot provide information on the temporal pattern of physical activity, or the time spent in different activities at different intensity. Graded exercise stress tests can identify hypertensive responses to activity and clinically significant electrocardiographic abnormalities during exercise and are thereby highly useful for providing a safe and effective cardiorespiratory exercise intensity range for at-risk patients. In healthy adults, heart rate is useful but not essential for the monitoring of exercise intensity. These sophisticated fitness trackers can be worn on the wrist, clipped to clothing, or incorporated into smartphones. Most of these trackers utilize an accelerometer to monitor movement, even during sleep, and some versions add GPS technology. Optical sensors for heart rate are common and provide useful data to optimize exercise intensity. Virtually all monitors are synchronized with smartphones or personal computers for tracking and graphic display of physical activity, calorie expenditure, and more. Modern pedometers work in a very similar way but are partly electronic. Open one up and one will find a metal pendulum (a hammer with a weight on one end) wired into an electronic counting circuit by a thin spring. Normally the circuit is open and no electric current flows through it. As a person takes a step, the hammer swings across and touches a metal contact in the center, completing the circuit and allowing current to flow. The flow of current energizes the circuit and adds one to his step count. As one completes the step, the hammer swings back again (helped by the spring) and the circuit is broken, effectively resetting the pedometer ready for the next step. More sophisticated pedometers (including some of the better ones made by Omron) work entirely electronically. Since they have no moving parts, tend to be longer-lasting, more reliable, and more accurate. They dispense with the swinging pendulum-hammer and measure the steps of the person with two or three accelerometers instead. These are microchips arranged at right angles that detect minute changes in force as one moves his/her legs. There are also digital devices that use more advanced programs to monitor and gauge a person's movement over time.
The Fitbit RTM is an always-on electronic pedometer, that in addition to counting steps also displays distance traveled, altitude climbed (via a number of flights of steps count), calories burned, current intensity, and time of day. Worn in an armband at night, this device also purports to measure the length and quality of a user's sleep. Inbuilt is a daily target, of 10,000 steps and 10 flights of stairs. Connected by USB with a computer, the user's data is automatically uploaded and displayed via a web-based profile page, which keeps track of historical data, to which can be added food consumption data. Fitbit's trackers have evolved in terms of functionality considerably since their introduction. Fitbit trackers are equipped with photoplethysmography sensors, which is the small green light one sees blinking on the tracker's underside. This light essentially monitors the volume of blood in one's wrist and uses that to calculate the number of heartbeats in a minute. When one is exercising, his heart rate increases, and the Fitbit tracker will tell him just how high or low it is. It also gives insights on how one can improve his/her performance and maintain his heart rate in a healthy range. Fitbit trackers can identify different types of exercises and place them in three different heart rate zones: Cardio, Peak, and Fat Burn zones. It uses a person's heart rate to determine which Zone he falls in and even sets challenges for him to focus on. This is great for people who want to improve their fitness and keeps them motivated. Certain Fitbit models are capable of tracking other health metrics too, such as oxygen saturation, breathing, a menstrual cycle, and even stress levels. Some Fitbit models also tell a person about his sleep quality when he wears them overnight and let him know when he is not sleeping enough. One of the newest Fitbit models, known as the Fitbit Luxe, offers more accurate fitness tracking, including swimming tracking. Fitbit also lets one track his daily meals and log calories.
A Fitbit uses a 3-axis accelerometer that can track the number of steps taken, in addition to a few other features such as distance traveled, calories burned, and number of floors climbed. An accelerometer is an electromechanical device that measures acceleration forces. When used in the Fitbit, the accelerometer senses movement, or vibrations. The more sensitive an accelerometer is, the more movement. To be:
able to count the number of steps there is a finely tuned, algorithm that detects unique motion patterns. The motion patterns must be large enough to meet the specific threshold of the algorithm, meaning that some steps could go uncounted if walking on very soft carpet or steps may be added if driving on a bumpy road and the algorithm's threshold is met. When one buys a Fitbit, they insert their information (weight, height, gender, etc.) onto the app/website, which allows for the program to generate data such as calories burned based off the steps traveled, type and duration of exercise, and the user's Personal information. An accelerometer is a tool that measures proper acceleration. Proper acceleration is the acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) of a body in its own instantaneous rest frame; this is different from coordinate acceleration, which is acceleration in a fixed coordinate system. For example, an accelerometer at rest on the surface of the Earth will measure an acceleration due to Earth's gravity, straight upwards (by definition) of g 9.81 m/s2. By contrast, accelerometers in free fall (falling toward the center of the Earth at a rate of about 9.81 m/s2) will measure zero.
Accelerometers have many uses in industry and science. Highly sensitive accelerometers are used in inertial navigation systems for aircraft and missiles. Vibration in rotating machines is monitored by accelerometers. They are used in tablet computers and digital cameras so that images on screens are always displayed upright. In unmanned aerial vehicles, accelerometers help to stabilize flight. When two or more accelerometers are coordinated with one another, they can measure differences in proper acceleration, particularly gravity, over their separation in space—that is, the gradient of the gravitational field. Gravity gradiometry is useful because absolute gravity is a weak effect and depends on the local density of the Earth, which is quite variable. Single—and multi-axis accelerometers can detect both the magnitude and the direction of the proper acceleration, as a vector quantity, and can be used to sense orientation (because the direction of weight changes), coordinate acceleration, vibration, shock, and falling in a resistive medium (a case in which the proper acceleration changes, increasing from zero). Micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers are increasingly present in portable electronic devices and video-game controllers, to detect changes in the positions of these devices. There are three different types of accelerometers, and they are each designed to efficiently function in their intended environments. The three types are: piezoelectric, piezoresistance and capacitive. A piezoelectric accelerometer utilizes the piezoelectric effect (piezoelectric materials produce electricity when put under physical stress) to sense change in acceleration. Piezoelectric accelerometers are most commonly used in vibration and shock measurement. Piezoresistance accelerometers are much less sensitive than piezoelectric accelerometers, and they are better suited to vehicle crash testing. A piezoresistance accelerometer increases its resistance in proportion to the amount of pressure applied to it. The third and most commonly used type of accelerometer is the capacitive accelerometer. Capacitive accelerometers use a change in electrical capacitance to determine an object's acceleration. When the sensor undergoes acceleration, the distance between its capacitor plates changes as the diaphragm of the sensor moves. Most accelerometers are miniscule, and they are often referred to as Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometers. Because of their size and affordability, they are embedded in a myriad of hand-held electronic devices (such as phones, tablets, and video game controllers). In phones and tablets, the accelerometer is responsible for “flipping” the screen when the device is rotated. Accelerometers are also used by zoologists (to track the movement of animals in the wild), engineers (especially in collision experiments) and factories (to monitor the vibration of machinery).
Several smartwatches that measure BP (Blood Pressure) have recently been introduced. Most of these wearables measure BP through PTT (Pulse transit time) from a pulse wave measurement at the wrist. Several manufacturers have recently introduced medical tricorders that measure BP among other vital signs. The BodiMetrics Performance Monitor (BodiMetrics LLC, Manhattan Beach, California, United States) uses electrocardiogram and photoplethysmograph data to estimate BP through PTT. The Bodimetrics tricorder obtains measurements with a 20-second scan of the user's fingertip at heart level but only provides systolic BP data. Calibration to a validated cuff-type device is required prior to standalone use. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), also written as micro-electro-mechanical systems (or microelectronic and microelectromechanical systems) and the related micromechatronics and microsystems constitute the technology of microscopic devices, particularly those with moving parts. They merge at the nanoscale into nanoelectron mechanical systems (NEMS) and nanotechnology. MEMS are also referred to as micromachines in Japan and microsystem technology (MST) in Europe. MEMS are made up of components between 1 and 100 micrometers in size (i.e., 0.001 to 0.1 mm), and MEMS devices generally range in size from 20 micrometres to a millimetre (i.e., 0.02 to 1.0 mm), although components arranged in arrays (e.g., digital micromirror devices) can be more than 1000 mm2. They usually consist of a central unit that processes data (an integrated circuit chip such as microprocessor) and several components that interact with the surroundings (such as microsensors). Because of the large surface area to volume ratio of MEMS, forces produced by ambient electromagnetism (e.g., electrostatic charges and magnetic moments), and fluid dynamics (e.g., surface tension and viscosity) are more important design considerations than with larger scale mechanical devices. MEMS technology is distinguished from molecular nanotechnology or molecular electronics in that the latter two must also consider surface chemistry.

As can be observed, none of the prior art has anticipated or caused one skilled in the sexual performance measuring or monitoring devices and instrumentation to anticipate or see as obvious this invention by Spears and Wells—even to a person skilled in the ordinary art of the industry. The problems solved and the metrics monitored by the Special Performance and erectile performance Analyzer (HELU) Device worn on a Penis during Sexual Activity provide an answer to the long-sought question as to performance—is it the Pen, or the Penmanship! With the HELU device, sexual performance can now be objectively monitored.

The device can measure body metrics during sexual activity and at rest. The measurement data can be monitored, recorded and displayed, and analyzed/compared for a predetermined set of body metrics such as heart rate, pulse, blood pressure, calories burned, the tally of strokes before ejaculation, and the pressure achieved during activity or at rest. The HELU communicates wirelessly to personal communication devices—smart phones, tablets, laptops, and personal computers. Analysis is supported by graphs displaying the data of body metrics, pressure, and number of strokes, and the like.
