Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An example personal massage apparatus for men includes a main body having a sheath, a shell disposed adjacent the main body, a first motor, a second motor, a first sensor, a second sensor, a third sensor, a battery, and a controller. The personal massage apparatus is configured to collect data based on a user's use of the apparatus and transmit said data to a second device, such as a mobile phone, for collection and analysis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A personal massage apparatus configured to stimulate a penis of a user, comprising; an elongate, tubular main body having an open first end, a dosed second end, a middle portion extending from the first end to the second end, and an elongate, flexible sheath disposed within the main body having a proximal end and a distal end, the sheath defining a chamber extending from an opening defined by the proximal end of the sheath to the distal end of the sheath, the sheath being attached to the first end of the main body and comprised of silicone, the sheath configured to receive said penis of said user within the chamber; an elongate, tubular shell attached to and surrounding substantially all of the middle portion of the main body, the shell being comprised of metal; a first motor disposed within the main body and adjacent to the sheath, the first motor configured to drive a rod and a cam and being configured to produce vibrations in order to stimulate said penis, the first motor which is encased in a first housing, said first housing contacting an exterior of the distal end of the sheath via the rod and the cam connected to the first motor and being configured to provide stimulation to a head of said penis; a second motor disposed closer to the proximal end of the sheath than is the first motor, the second motor comprising an oscillating motor, the second motor which is encased in a second housing, said second housing directly contacting an exterior closer to the proximal end of the sheath and being configured to provide stimulation to a shaft of said penis; a controller disposed within the main body and configured to operate the first motor and the second motor; and a first sensor disposed within the main body and adjacent an exterior surface of the sheath, the first sensor configured to sense the proximity of said user to the first sensor. 2. The personal massage apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor comprises a capacitive sensor. 3. The personal massage apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the motor will not operate unless the first sensor detects the presence of said user adjacent to the main body. 4. The personal Massage apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the first sensor collects data related to said user's performance while using the personal massage apparatus. 5. The personal massage apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the data comprises frequency and duration of use and measurements relating to the length of said penis. 6. The personal massage apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a second sensor disposed within the main body and adjacent to the motor, the second sensor configured to detect output produced by the motor. 7. The personal massage apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the shell defines a window configured to allow said user to see the main body through the window. 8. The personal massage apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising a covering configured to be placed within the window, the covering comprised of plastic. 9. The personal massage apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a user control configured to provide instruction to the controller. 10. The personal massage apparatus of claim 1 , wherein an interior surface or the sheath defines grooves extending along an inner surface of the sheath. 11. A personal massage apparatus configured to stimulate a penis of a user, comprising; an elongate, tubular main body having an open first end, a dosed second end, a middle portion extending from the first end to the second end, and an elongate, flexible sheath disposed within the main body having a proximal end and a distal end, the sheath defining a chamber extending from an opening defined by the proximal end of the sheath to the distal end of the sheath, the sheath being attached to the first end of the main body and comprised of silicone, the sheath configured to receive said penis of said user within the chamber; an elongate, tubular shell attached to and surrounding substantially all of the middle portion of the main body, the shell being comprised of metal; a first motor disposed within the main body and adjacent to the sheath, the first motor configured to drive a rod and a cam and being configured to produce vibrations in order to stimulate said penis, the first motor which is encased in a first housing, said first housing contacting an exterior of the distal end of the sheath via the rod and the cam connected to the first motor and being configured to provide stimulation to a head of said penis; a second motor disposed closer to the proximal end of the sheath than is the first motor, the second motor comprising an oscillating motor, the second motor which is encased in a second housing, said second housing directly contacting an exterior closer to the proximal end of the sheath and being configured to provide stimulation to a shaft of said penis; a controller disposed within the main body and configured to operate the first motor and the second motor; a first support column and a second support column disposed within the main body, the first support column and the second support column each contacting an exterior of the sheath and the shell; a first sensor disposed within the main body and adjacent an exterior surface of the sheath; the first sensor configured to sense the proximity of said user to the first sensor; and a second sensor disposed within the main body and adjacent to the first motor, the second sensor configured to detect output produced by the first motor. 12. The personal massage apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the first sensor collects data related to said user's performance while using the personal massage apparatus. 13. The personal massage apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the data comprises frequency and duration of use and measurements relating to the length of said penis; and wherein the controller transmits the data to a mobile phone having a software application configured to receive and analyze the data. 14. The personal massage apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the mobile phone displays the data to said user on a mobile phone display. 15. The personal massage apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the mobile phone generates suggestions on how said user may improve sexual performance based on the data. 16. The personal massage apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the suggestions include tips on how said user may increase the duration of a sexual encounter.
