Wearable, activity-tracking sex toy, and a method for its use
A wearable, activity-tracking sex toy includes a ring adapted to encircle a phallic object, at least one motion sensor, and at least one wireless communicator adapted to transmit output from the at least one motion sensor to a computing device.
1. A method for tracking sexual movements, the method comprising:
detecting, by at least one motion sensor incorporated in a sex toy, at least one motion of the sex toy;
calculating, by a processor coupled to a wireless communicator incorporated in the sex toy, at least one body movement of a user of the sex toy, based on the at least one motion of the sex toy;
determining, by the wireless communicator, a connection state to at least one computing device;
storing, by the processor, in a memory incorporated in the sex toy, the at least one body movement, based on the detected connection state.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting further comprises detecting a direction of acceleration of the sex toy.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting further comprises detecting a degree of acceleration of the sex toy.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting further comprises detecting a change in orientation of the sex toy.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calculating further comprises:
maintaining a number representing a current velocity of the sex toy;
numerically integrating a detected acceleration to calculate a resulting velocity; and
adding the resulting velocity to the number representing the current velocity.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calculating further comprises comparing the at least one motion to one or more threshold values to determine that a particular sexual movement has taken place.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining further comprises determining that there is no connection to the at least one computing device, and wherein the storing further comprises storing the at least one body movement in the memory incorporated in the sex toy.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining further comprises determining that there is a connection to the at least one computing device, and wherein the storing further comprises transmitting data describing the at least one body movement to the at least one computing device.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the determining further comprises determining that a series of body movements are stored in memory of the sex toy; and wherein the storing further comprises
transmitting the stored series of body movements to the at least one computing device.
10. The method of claim 8 further comprising:
saving data concerning a sexual encounter in the memory incorporated in the sex toy during the sexual encounter; and
transmitting the data to the computing device when the sexual encounter concludes.
11. The method of claim 8 further comprising calculating, by the at least one computing device, at least one cumulative datum concerning a sexual encounter, using the at least one body movement.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the calculating the cumulative datum further comprises calculating total calories burned by the user during the sexual encounter.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the calculating the cumulative datum further comprises calculating a duration of the sexual encounter.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the calculating the cumulative datum further comprises calculating a top speed achieved by the user of the sex toy.
15. The method of claim 11 further comprising generating, by the computing device, a user tip using at least one datum of the data concerning the at least one body movement data and the at last one cumulative datum.
