Abstract

A weather station predicts weather based on atmospheric pressure readings and plays music and/or nature sounds based on the predicted weather.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving sensor data;

predicting future weather based on the received data;

determining music to play based on the predicted weather; and

playing the determined music.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensor data include atmospheric pressure.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the determined music includes lyrics corresponding to the predicted weather.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying a color corresponding to the predicted weather.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the music is non-vocal.

6. A system, comprising:

means for receiving sensor data;

means for predicting future weather based on the received data;

means for determining music to play based on the predicted weather; and

means for playing the determined music.

7. A system, comprising:

a weather engine, capable of predicting weather based on received sensor data;

a sound engine, communicatively coupled to the weather engine, capable of determining music to play based on the predicted weather; and

at least one speaker, communicatively coupled to the sound engine, capable of outputting the determined music.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the sensor data include atmospheric pressure.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the determined music includes lyrics corresponding to the predicted weather.

10. The system of claim 7, further comprising a GUI capable of displaying a color corresponding to the predicted weather.

11. The system of claim 7, wherein the music is non-vocal.

12. A method, comprising:

receiving sensor data;

predicting future weather based on the received data;

determining nature sounds to play based on the predicted weather; and

playing the determined nature sounds.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the sensor data include atmospheric pressure.

14. The method of claim 12, further comprising displaying a color corresponding to the predicted weather.

15. A system, comprising:

means for receiving sensor data;

means for predicting future weather based on the received data;

means for determining nature sounds to play based on the predicted weather; and

means for playing the determined nature sounds.

16. A system, comprising:

a weather engine, capable of predicting weather based on received sensor data;

a sound engine, communicatively coupled to the weather engine, capable of determining nature sounds to play based on the predicted weather; and

at least one speaker, communicatively coupled to the sound engine, capable of outputting the determined nature sounds.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the sensor data include atmospheric pressure.

18. The system of claim 16, further comprising a GUI capable of displaying a color corresponding to the predicted weather.
