First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for musical sonification of data to monitor the data, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one data stream including data values representing a series of events;
determining that received data values represent events to be sonified;
in response to determining events to be sonified, determining corresponding sonifications associated with the events to be sonified, wherein at least some of the sonifications include a musical arrangement of notes that musically convey the event; and
generating an audio signal output corresponding to a series of sonifications determined for at least some of the events in the data stream to produce a musical rendering of the data stream.

Abstract
A musical sonification system and method sonifies data, such as real-time financial market data, to produce an audio signal output including a musical rendering of the data. A sonification engine converts the data into sound parameters based on configuration data and a sonification and mapping scheme. A sound generator generates the audio output signal from the sound parameters.

7. A machine-readable medium whose contents cause a computer system to perform a method for musical sonification of data to monitor the data, the method comprising:
-
receiving at least one data stream including data values representing a series of events; determining that received data values represent events to be sonified; in response to determining events to be sonified, determining corresponding sonifications associated with the events to be sonified, wherein at least some of the sonifications include a musical arrangement of notes that musically convey the event; and generating an audio signal output corresponding to a series of sonifications determined for at least some of the events in the data stream to produce a musical rendering of the data stream. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 16)

11. A system for musical sonification of data to monitor the data, the system comprising:
-
means for receiving at least one data stream including data values representing a series of events; means for determining that received data values represent events to be sonified and in response to determining events to be sonified, for determining corresponding sonifications associated with the events to be sonified, wherein at least some of the sonifications include a musical arrangement of notes that musically convey the event; and means for generating an audio signal output corresponding to a series of sonifications determined for at least some of the events in the data stream to produce a musical rendering of the data stream. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 17)
