Abstract

Various pelvic relaxing systems provide various stimuli to various portions of a pelvic structure including a clitoris, G spot, and other intravaginal portions defined inside or around a vaginal cavity. Such a system includes a body member with at least one unit (or part) capable of engaging with at least one portion of the structure, and at least one input unit for receiving user inputs and controlling an actuator member for providing various stimuli to various portions of the structure through various units (or parts) of the body member, without requiring an user to manipulate different switches or buttons during use. Various methods are presented to provide stimuli to various portions of the structure through various units of the body member without requiring the user to manipulate different switches or buttons. Various processes are presented to provide the above system and various members or units thereof.

Claims

1. A method for providing tactile stimuli to at least a portion of a pelvic structure in response to a user input applied by a user while monitoring an amplitude of said user input, said method comprising the steps of:

providing a first part including at least one movable portion;

providing a second part capable of being held by said user; and

operatively coupling said first part to said second part for effecting at least one movement of said movable portion of said first part in response to said user input while manipulating at least one dynamic feature of said movement based on said user input.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said effecting includes at least one of the steps of:

determining a temporal feature of said movement based on said amplitude; and

determining a spatial feature of said movement based on said amplitude.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein said determining said temporal feature includes at least one of the steps of:

determining a duration of said movement based thereon;

determining a frequency of said movement based thereon; and

determining a sequence of said movement based thereon.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein said determining said temporal feature includes at least one of the steps of:

determining an amplitude of said movement based thereon;

determining a direction of said movement based thereon; and

determining a type of said movement based thereon.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said effecting includes the steps of:

monitoring an amplitude of said user input; and

performing said manipulating based on said amplitude.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said effecting includes the steps of:

monitoring a displacement of said user input; and

performing said manipulating based on said displacement.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said manipulating includes the steps of:

generating at least one default movement of said first part; and

superposing onto said default movement said movement of first part effected through said manipulating.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said manipulating includes at least one of the steps of:

performing said manipulating based on said user input applied to said second part by a hand of said user;

performing said manipulating based on said user input applied to said second part by a body part of said user which is not said hand thereof; and

performing said manipulating based on said user input applied to said second part by an article manipulated by said user.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein said manipulating includes at least one of the steps of:

performing said manipulating based on at least one mechanical feature of said user input;

performing said manipulating based on at least one electrical feature of said user input;

performing said manipulating based on at least one optical feature of said user input; and

performing said manipulating based on at least one magnetic feature of said user input.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein said effecting at least one movement thereof includes at least one of the steps of:

vibrating said movable portion of said first part;

rotating said movable portion of said first part;

swiveling said movable portion of said first part;

translating said movable portion of said first part;

reciprocating said movable portion of said first part; and

deforming said movable portion of said first part.

11. A method for providing tactile stimuli to at least a portion of a pelvic structure in response to a user input applied by a hand of a user while monitoring at least one of a temporal feature and a spatial feature of said user input, said method comprising the steps of:

forming a body member by attaching a first part of said body member to a second part of said body member, wherein said first part includes at least one movable portion receives said user input;

incorporating at least one actuator member into said second part; and

manipulating said actuator member for effecting at least one movement of said movable portion of said first part of said body member in response to said at least one of said features of said user input and also for manipulating at least one dynamic feature of said movement based on said at least one of said features of said user input.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein said effecting includes at least one of the steps of:

determining a temporal feature of said movement based on said at least one of said features of said user input; and

determining a spatial feature of said movement based on said at least one of said features of said user input.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein said determining said temporal feature includes at least one of the steps of:

determining a duration of said movement based thereon;

determining a frequency of said movement based thereon; and

determining a sequence of said movement based thereon.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein said determining said temporal feature includes at least one of the steps of:

determining an amplitude of said movement based thereon;

determining a direction of said movement based thereon; and

determining a type of said movement based thereon.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein said effecting includes the steps of:

monitoring an amplitude of said user input; and

performing said manipulating based on said amplitude.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein said effecting includes the steps of:

monitoring a displacement of said user input; and

performing said manipulating based on an amplitude of said displacement.

17. A method for providing tactile stimuli to a pelvic structure in response to a user input applied by a user while monitoring at least one of a temporal feature of said user input and a spatial feature of said user input, said method comprising the steps of:

providing a first part including at least one movable portion and capable of receiving said user input;

providing a second part capable of being held by said user; and

operatively coupling said first part to said second part for effecting at least one movement of said movable portion based on said at least one of said features of said user input as well as for manipulating at least one dynamic feature of said movement based on said at least one of said features of said user input.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein said effecting includes at least one of the steps of:

determining a temporal feature of said movement based on said at least one of said features of said user input; and

determining a spatial feature of said movement based on said at least one of said features of said user input.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein said determining said temporal feature includes at least one of the steps of:

determining a duration of said movement based thereon;

determining a frequency of said movement based thereon; and

determining a sequence of said movement based thereon.
