BACKGROUNDThe present invention pertains to providers of web based adult Internet services where models interact with customers in real time through on-line chat and streaming video. The present invention includes mechanical inputs at the customer's end of the connection which inputs may include the insertion of an object into an orifice and which inputs are related to mechanical outputs at the website's end of the connection, which mechanical outputs are the thrusting movements of a phallic object and which mechanical outputs are video imaged and where live video of mechanical outputs is transmitted back to customer's end of the connection so that customer can observe, steer, and directly control erotic actions that occur at the website's end of the connection. The utility of this invention is the improvement in the perception of erotic acts of the customer who is located at his private location which person desires to affect and view actions that occur in at the website's, e.g., a studio where models model, which actions mimic lovemaking acts.
A more detailed understanding may be had from the following description, given by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
There are currently web based adult entertainment services that allow customers to chat with performers for a fee. In the current web based adult entertainment services, the interaction between customers and performers is generally through on-line chat combined with a life streaming video connection. Performers are female or male actors who pose for the customers and interact with customers through the Internet. On-line chat is generally the process wherein persons connected to the Internet type words that are transmitted and displayed on other people's screen. Compared to pre-recorded on-line photos and movies, these web based Adult Services offer the customer has a sense of interaction and connection that increases the intensity of the fantasy that is the product of the Web based service. For example, the customer may ask, through on-line chat, the model to wave her left hand. When the model responds, the customer knows that the interaction is occurring in real time with the model displayed on his or her computer screen. Currently, on-line services limit the interactive content that they offer their customers to on-line chat and a streaming video and audio feeds to the customer. The present invention is an on-line service where customers are able to physically interact with the performers. To that end, the present invention includes a Remote Interaction System comprising two interaction devices described below and depicted in the attached figures.
As shown in
The Input Device
The input device (300) of the system of the present invention is shown in
Since bag (3) is open to the outside of first tube (1) it forms an orifice in the tube. If this orifice if filled with an object, fluid in first tube (1) is displaced and forces, though hose (5) and balloon (13), the piston (8) to move toward fourth fitting (9). As piston (8) moves, rod (12) moves accordingly and causes wheel (14) to spin. Processing circuitry (18), receives data from light detecting device and outputs digital data for use in the CPU (19) which data is related to the amount of displacement cause by the inserted object. If the object is extracted from the orifice, the coil spring (10) forces piston (8) to move back to its original position. Rod (12) moves with piston (8) and causes wheel (14) to spin accordingly. Again, processing circuitry (18), receives data from light detecting device and outputs digital data for use in the CPU (19) which data is related to the now diminishing amount of displacement cause by the inserted object.
The Output Device
Based on digital data that is passed from CPU (102) to driver circuitry (101), driver circuitry (101) causes motor (100) to turn at various speeds and in both directions. As motor (100) turns, spring coil (103) turns and this causes pin (104) and arms (105) to move in a direction away from or towards motor (100) depending on the direction of rotation of spring coil (103). As the pin (104) and arms (105) move, the thrusting tube (106) and the phallic object (111) are caused to move accordingly.
The output device of the present invention provides a means for creating a thrusting motion of a phallic object based on digital data received from a processor. The phallic object is supported by a spring so that the force of impact against obstructing walls can be softened.
The Web Business Implementation
In accordance with the present invention, a business includes a Web based service that is offered to customers wherein customers interact with models in a location that is not the location of the customers and where the customer can cause and view movement of a phallic object in the location of the model through an on-line connection. In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, the model, while viewed by the customer, causes movement of a phallic object in the customer's location. Therefore, the present invention offers customers of the web-based service a more vivid and realistic experience. The business of the present invention can charge additional fees for the enhanced services and can benefit from the sales of input and output devices.
The Remote Interaction System of the present invention makes possible a business where customers view and interact with performers which performers are in a location different from the location of the customers and where said interaction includes mechanical interaction which mechanical interaction can be viewed in the customer's location through video which video is captured at the performer's location and transmitted to the customer's location via the Internet.
Also, if the request is approved, a communication data stream is opened on the Internet between Customer's computer and Performer's computer so that Customer can control over the Output Device (201) in the performer's location and so that Customer's Input Device (300) is connected with the Output Device (201) in Performer's location as described above. This communication, in the preferred embodiment, is controlled by local software components, Toy Communication Components (790).
A business, adult Web service, and system have been disclosed that allow customers to have improved perception and control of erotic acts that occur at a Web based adult service provider's location. One component of the system measures the displacement of a fluid that occurs when an object is inserted into an orifice at the user's location to create digital data, which data can be transmitted to a remote location. Another component of the system responds to the data signal that is received at the remote location and generates movements of a phallic which movements are related to said data signal. Another component of the system captures video showing said movements and/or their effects at the remote location and transmits them to the user's location for display on a monitor.
Phallic object (518) is affixed to thrusting rod outside of enclosure (512). Therefore, the thrusting rod (508) and the phallic object (518) are caused to move in response to digital data passed from CPU (514).
While I have herein described a specific embodiment of this invention, it should be understood that components of this invention can be implemented in various ways. It is my intention to claim such modifications of my invention that include such implementations.
