Synchronized video annotation and control system for sexual stimulation devices

1. A method for creating synchronized video control data for sexual stimulation devices, comprising the steps of:

displaying video content comprising depictions of sexual activity on a display;

receiving motion input data from a manually-operated motion input system comprising a linear slider and a rotational dial, the motion input data corresponding to a movement shown in the video, wherein:

the motion input data comprises a reciprocal linear motion with rotation about the linear axis of the reciprocal linear motion;

the motion input data tracks a reciprocal linear motion with rotation about the linear axis of the reciprocal linear motion of the movement shown in the video over time; and

each motion input datum is associated with a playback time of the video content; and

storing the motion input data as metadata associated with the video content, wherein the metadata represents an emulation of the identified movement shown in the video content.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

retrieving the video content and the metadata;

converting the metadata to device control data, the device control data comprising a position of an electronically controllable moving part of a sexual stimulation device for each motion input datum and playback time;

displaying the video content; and

as the video content is displayed, continuously determining a current playback time of the video content and transmitting the device control data for that current playback time to the sexual stimulation device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

establishing a user portal for users to create user accounts; and

allowing users to annotate videos by watching videos containing sexual content and providing motion input data for the watched videos.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising the step of configuring wherein the user portal is further configured to allow users to establish an online store for sale of their video annotations to other users.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

allowing users to enter preferences as to video content;

searching local storage or the Internet for videos containing content related to the user's preferences; and

if the videos are not already annotated, allowing the users to annotate the video content; and

using the video content to control the sexual stimulation device.
