The present disclosure relates to a sexual stimulation device and, more particularly relates to the sexual stimulation device for providing stimulation to the erogenous zones of a user and generating optical effects.
Masturbation is generally referred to as a natural and safe way to explore one's body i.e. stimulation of genital organs to obtain sexual pleasure. Typically, people use conventional techniques for exploring one's body (irrespective of gender) to attain sexual pleasure. However, the conventional techniques are generally unhygienic and thus not desirable.
Sex toys are designed in a variety of configurations and perform a variety of functions, ranging from medical therapy to erotic stimulation. For example, the sex toys such as dildos are used by female users for masturbating. Such sex toys are generally phallic-shaped and are simpler to use for providing sexual pleasure to female users. Additionally, such sex toys include a vibration feature for enhancing sexual stimulation to female genital organs (e.g., vaginal area). However, the usage of sex toys in the genitals (e.g., vaginal area) for experiencing sexual stimulation can lead to irritations or inflammations of the skin near the genital organs (or the vaginal area). Further, the usage of these sex toys to provide sexual pleasure is fairly limited and is not designed specifically to accommodate the different physiologies (or arousals) of different users. Thus, such sex toys may not provide the desired and satisfactory sexual pleasure to the users.
Therefore, there is a need for a sexual stimulation device to provide enhanced sexual pleasure, in order to overcome one or more limitations stated above in addition to providing other technical advantages.
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sexual stimulation device.

Further, the power source 208 is configured to provide power supply (or electrical power) to the actuator 202, the radiating lighting element 204, and the control circuitry 206 for operating the sexual stimulation device 100 in an ON state from an OFF state.

In one scenario, the optical effect generating member 112 is configured to receive a visible light directed onto the first optical layer 302. The visible light directed onto the first optical layer 302 may be referred to as a second light source of the at least one light source. The optical effect generating member 112 is configured to generate a second optical effect of the at least one optical effect in response to the second light source at the first optical layer 302. It is to be noted that the first optical layer 302 generates the second optical effect based on the sexual stimulation device 100 operating in either the ON state or the OFF state. In other words, the first optical layer 302 generates the second optical effect irrespective of the sexual stimulation device 100 being operated in the ON state or the OFF state. This is due to the second light source being received by the external environment. Further, the first optical layer 302 generates the second optical effect in response to the second light source based on one or more optical characteristics of the first optical layer 302. The optical properties associated with the first optical layer 302 may include, but not limited to, reflection, refraction, dispersion, and scattering. Thus, the second light source is either reflected, refracted, or scattered by the first optical layer 302 to provide the second optical effect. In one example, the first optical layer 302 may be coated with a coating material, which may be achieved through the use of a coating of vapor deposition, spraying, or plating, or alternatively, through the application of an in-mold decoration, a ChromaFlair coating or anodizing coating material to form an optical effect layer (i.e. the first optical layer 302) capable of generating the second optical effect such as reflection, diffraction, and scattering optical effects. In summary, the scenario above is not limited to the limitation of the production process of the optical effect generating member 112 as long as it can realize the rainbow color shown by the first optical layer 302.
In another example, the optical effect generating member 112 may be made using luminous ceramics, thus causing the optical effect generating member 112 to provide the second optical effect for a predetermined time (e.g., 12 hours) after absorbing visible light (or the second light source) for 10 to 20 minutes. Typically, the luminous ceramics incorporate high-tech luminescent colors into the traditional ceramic glaze. This optical effect generating member 112 is created by melting the luminescent colors into the glaze and firing it at high temperatures. The optical effect generating member 112 made using the luminous ceramics material absorbs various forms of natural light, such as sunlight or other scattered light sources, and retains the absorbed light energy for generating the second optical effect as explained above.
In addition, the optical effect generating member 112 may include a one-way mirror or other material combinations that can provide similar functions. It is to be noted that, as long as it is possible to realize the optical effect when the radiating lighting element 204 is switched off (or operated in an OFF condition), a light guiding element (see, 210 of
In another scenario, the optical effect generating member 112 is configured to generate a first optical effect of the at least one optical effect in response to receipt of a first light source of the at least one light source emitted from the radiating lighting element 204. The control circuitry 206 is configured to at least operate the radiating lighting element 204 to emit the first light source onto the second optical layer 304 of the optical effect generating member 112. The radiating lighting element 204 may emit white light, monochromatic light, or a mixed color light. It is to be noted that the control circuitry 206 operates the radiating lighting element 204 to emit the first light source based on operating the sexual stimulation device 100 in the ON state.
Additionally, the sexual stimulation device 100 includes the light guiding element (see, 210 of
In some cases, there may be light spillage from the side edges of the light guiding element 210. In such cases, the light emitted from the light guiding element 210 may not be completely rendered on the second optical layer 304. In order to address the aforementioned technical issues, a cover member 310 may be used to cover the side wall of the light guiding element 210. The cover member 310 may be a layer of opaque film or any other material capable of preventing light spillage.
In some cases, the light guiding element 210 can run through a hole (see, 312 of
In some cases, the top surface of the light guiding element 210 may be situated between the first optical layer 302 and second optical layer 304, or even further, with the light guiding element 210 and the optical effect generating member 112 may be integrally molded. In such case, the light emitted from the radiating lighting element 204 located within the housing 102 can be guided to the entire surface of the first optical layer 302.
Additionally, the optical effect generating member 112, the light guide element 210, and the radiation lighting element 204 maybe entirely replaced by a display, such as an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display. The signal and power supply wires of the OLED display can be connected to the control circuitry 206 after passing through the hole 103 of the housing 102. Once the OLED display has been installed, the power source 208 can be connected to the control circuitry 206, which will then provide power to the OLED display. In turn, the control circuitry 206 will also be able to control the OLED display to emit radiating light as explained above.
Further, the optical effect generating member 112 is configured to generate the first optical effect of the at least one optical effect through the first optical layer 304 in response to the first light source (e.g., the white light, the monochromatic light, or the mixed color light) emitted from the radiating lighting element 204 onto the second optical layer 304. It is to be noted that the first light source directed onto the second optical layer 304 is transmitted from the second optical layer 304 to the first optical layer 302 for causing the first optical effect. Similar to the second optical effect, the first optical layer 302 generates the first optical effect in response to the first light source based on the one or more optical characteristics of the first optical layer 302. Thus, the first light source is either reflected, refracted, or scattered by the first optical layer 302 to provide the first optical effect.
In another scenario, the first optical layer 302 may simultaneously receive the first light source and the second light source and generate the corresponding first optical effect and the second optical effect as explained above, In this scenario, the first optical layer 302 generates a third optical effect by superimposing the first optical effect and the second optical effect on the first optical layer 302 based at least on the one or more optical properties associated with the first optical layer 302.
Further, the control circuitry 206 is configured to monitor at least one operating parameter of the sexual stimulation device 100 related to providing sexual stimulation to one or more erogenous zones of the user. The at least one operating parameter may include, but not limited to, operating speed, rotation, intensity, and stimulation pattern. The operating parameters of the sexual stimulation device 100 may be adjusted based on operating the actuator 202. It is to be noted that the control circuitry 206 adjusts the operating parameters of the actuator 202 to operate the sexual stimulation device 100 (or the first portion 104) in the plurality of stimulation modes. The plurality of stimulation modes may include, but not limited to, a vibration stimulation, an oscillating stimulation, a tapping stimulation, a snapping stimulation, a swinging stimulation, a reciprocatory stimulation, and a sucking stimulation.
The control circuitry 206 is configured to dynamically control the radiating lighting element 204 in real-time to emit the first light source based at least on the at least one operating parameter of the sexual stimulation device 100 related to providing sexual stimulation to the user. In an example, the radiating lighting element 206 dynamically adjusts the parameters (e.g., wavelength, frequency, and light pattern) of the first light source 204 depending on the intensity of the operation of the actuator 202 of the sexual stimulation device 100. Further, dynamically controlling the radiating lighting element 204 to emit the first light source indicates a stimulation mode of the plurality of stimulation modes of the sexual stimulation device 100 corresponding to the at least one operating parameter. For example, the first light source including the red light may include the vibrating stimulation, the orange light indicates an oscillating stimulation, and so on.
Furthermore, the sexual stimulation device 100 may include at least one sensor (see, 120 of
