Conceptual Design(s): 

In our new design, we continue to use the combination of a wind sensor and Neopixel. However, we replaced the linear Neopixel strip with a circular Neopixel ring containing 12 lights, creating a more rounded and comfortable product shape. We propose that our new Kiss Communicator can record the user’s number of breaths and the duration of each breath. Additionally, we aim to enable users to know the exact number of kisses being sent and received at any given time. These detailed improvements enrich the user’s understanding of the transmitted information and add a playful dimension to sharing love messages.

For example, User A can send a sequence of kisses—5, 2, 0, 1, 3, 1, 4—to User B, conveying the love message "Love you forever" ("1314"-"yi sheng yi shi (in Chinese)"). User A can also create unique breathing rhythms for User B to experience a more personalized and intimate connection. Furthermore, if the love message is successfully sent but the recipient is unavailable to receive it, the message will remain stored to ensure it isn’t missed. In such cases, User A can continue to send multiple kisses, which will accumulate on User B’s device until they are retrieved (up to a maximum limit).

Ideally, the device would support bidirectional love message transmission, allowing both users to share their affection seamlessly across distances.
