First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of musical sonification of a data stream, said method comprising:
- receiving said data stream including different data parameters;
obtaining data values for at least first and second data parameters of said different data parameters in said data stream;
determining at least first parameter pitch values and second parameter pitch values corresponding, respectively, to said data values obtained for said first and second data parameters, wherein said pitch values correspond to musical notes; and
playing first parameter musical notes at said first parameter pitch values and second parameter musical notes at said second parameter pitch values to produce a musical rendering of said data stream, wherein changes in said musical notes indicate changes in said data values obtained for said data parameters in said data stream such that said musical rendering of said data stream distinguishes between said first and second data parameters in said data stream and between changes in said data values obtained for said first and second data parameters in said data stream.

Abstract
One embodiment of a musical sonification system and method receives a data stream including different data parameters. The sonification system may apply different sonification processes to the different data parameters to produce a musical rendering of the data stream. In one embodiment, the sonification system and method maps data parameters related to options trades to pitch values corresponding to musical notes in an equal tempered scale.

17. A method of musical sonification of a data stream for monitoring option trading, said method comprising:
-
receiving a data stream including a series of data elements corresponding to options trades being monitored, each of said data elements including data parameters related to a respective trade; mapping said data parameters to pitch as said data stream is received, wherein at least two of said data parameters are mapped to pitch values within a different pitch range, wherein said pitch values correspond to musical notes; and playing said musical notes corresponding to said pitch values to produce a musical rendering of said data stream, wherein changes in said musical notes indicate changes in said data parameters, and wherein said musical rendering of said data stream distinguishes between said different data parameters to monitor changes in each of said different data parameters as a result of said options trades. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A machine-readable medium whose contents cause a computer system to perform a method for musical sonification of a data stream, said method comprising:
-
receiving said data stream including different data parameters; obtaining data values for at least first and second data parameters of said different data parameters of said data stream; determining at least first parameter pitch values and second parameter pitch values corresponding, respectively, to said data values obtained for said first and second data parameters, wherein said pitch values correspond to musical notes; and playing first parameter musical notes at said first parameter pitch values and second parameter musical notes at said second parameter pitch values produce a musical rendering of said data stream, wherein changes in said musical notes indicate changes in said data values obtained for said data parameters in said data stream such that said musical rendering of said data stream distinguishes between said first and second data parameters in said data stream and between changes in said data values obtained for said first and second data parameters in said data stream. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)

-
receiving a data stream including a series of data elements corresponding to options trades being monitored, each of said data elements including data parameters related to a respective trade; mapping changes of each of said data parameters as said data stream is received, wherein each of said data parameters is mapped to pitch values within a different pitch range for each of said data parameters, wherein said pitch values correspond to musical notes; and playing said musical notes corresponding to said pitch values to produce a musical rendering of said data stream, wherein changes in said musical notes indicates changes in said data parameters, and wherein said musical rendering of said data stream distinguishes between said different data parameters to monitor changes in each of said different data parameters as a result of said options trades. - View Dependent Claims (28)
