Abstract
A system (100) for categorizing songs on a physiological effect of the song on a user includes a storage medium (120) for storing songs, a memory (140) for storing for a predetermined physiological state of a user an associated predetermined first selection criterion, a rendering system (150) for rendering songs, and a sensor (130) for determining a biological parameter of the user representative of a physiological state of the user. A processor (110) tests a selected song for a physiological effect. The selected song is rendered a plurality of times. Each time, the sensor obtains at least one measurement, and the first criterion is used to determine a respective indicator indicating whether rendering of the song has a positive effect. Next, a second predetermined criterion is used to, based on a plurality of the determined indicators, determine a suitability of the song for bringing the user closer to the predetermined physiological state.

19. A system (100) for categorizing songs based on a physiological effect of the song on a user;
- the system including;
a storage medium (120) for storing a plurality of songs; a memory (140) for storing an associated predetermined first selection criterion for at least one predetermined physiological state of a user, said memory also storing for each of at least one predetermined physiological state, an associated playlist of songs for bringing the user closer to a particular predetermined physiological state; a rendering system (150) for rendering songs retrieved from the storage medium; a sensor (130) for determining a biological parameter of the user representative of a physiological state of the user; and a processor (110) configured for; repeatedly causing the selected song to be rendered, using the sensor to obtain at least one measurement during said rendering, using the first predetermined criterion to determine, in dependence on the measurement, a respective indicator indicating whether rendering of the song has a positive effect on bringing the user closer to the predetermined physiological state; and using a second predetermined criterion to determine, based on a plurality of the determined indicators for the song, a suitability of the song for bringing the user closer to the predetermined physiological state. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A method of categorizing songs on a physiological effect of the song on a user;
- the method including;
repeatedly causing the selected song to be rendered (210) by a rendering system, using a sensor to measure (210) at least once during the rendering of the song a biological parameter of the user representative of a physiological state of the user, using a first predetermined criterion (220) associated with a predetermined physiological state of a user to determine, in dependence on the measurement, a respective indicator indicating whether rendering of the song has a positive effect on bringing the user closer to the predetermined physiological state; and using a second predetermined criterion (240) to determine, based on a plurality of the determined indicators for the song, a suitability of the song for bringing the user closer to the predetermined physiological state. - View Dependent Claims (36)
