1. A method comprising:
- providing, by a computing device, first audio data corresponding to a first audible sound, wherein the first audible sound is output to a user;
determining, based on at least one signal received from at least one sensor coupled to the computing device, a first indication of user movement in response to providing the first audio data;
after determining the first indication of user movement, providing, by the computing device and for a first time of multiple times, second audio data corresponding to a second audible sound, wherein the second audible sound is output to the user, and wherein the second audible sound is different than the first audible sound;
in response to providing the second audio data for the first time;
determining, based on the at least one signal received from the at least one sensor, a second indication of user movement, the second indication of user movement being different from the first indication of user movement; and
determining a motivational score associated with the second audible sound;
providing, by the computing device and for a second time of the multiple times, the second audio data corresponding to the second audible sound that is output to the user;
in response to providing the second audio data for the second time;
determining, based on the at least one signal received from the at least one sensor, a third indication of user movement that is different from the first indication of user movement; and
in response to determining that the third indication of user movement is different from the first indication of user movement, increasing the motivational score associated with the second audible sound, wherein increasing the motivational score of the second audible sound indicates one or more of an increased likelihood that the second audible sound is motivational to the user or that the second audible sound causes a motivational effect for the user; and
identifying, by the computing device and based on the motivational score, that the second audible sound is motivational to a user.

Abstract
This disclosure is directed to providing audio playback to a mobile device user. According to one aspect of this disclosure, a mobile device may be to modify audio playback in response to detecting an inclination of the mobile device (and thereby a user) with respect to a reference plane. According to another aspect of this disclosure, a mobile device may be configured to automatically identify an audible sound that may be motivational to a user, and store an indication of the audible sound in response to the identification. According to another aspect of this disclosure, a mobile device may automatically play back a previously identified motivational song in response to detection of user movement.

10. A computing device, comprising:
one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to; provide first audio data corresponding to a first audible sound, wherein the first audible sound is output to a user; determine, based on at least one signal received from at least one sensor coupled to the computing device, a first indication of user movement in response to providing the first audio data; after determining the first indication of user movement, provide, for a first time of multiple times, second audio data corresponding to a second audible sound, wherein the second audible sound is output to the user, and wherein the second audible sound is different than the first audible sound; in response to providing the second audio data for the first time; determine, based on the at least one signal received from the at least one sensor, a second indication of user movement, the second indication of user movement being different from the first indication of user movement, and determine a motivational score associated with the second audible sound; provide, for a second time of the multiple times, the second audio data corresponding to the second audible sound that is output to the user; in response to providing the second audio data for the second time; determine, based on the at least one signal received from the at least one sensor, a third indication of user movement that is different from the first indication of user movement; and in response to determining that the third indication of user movement is different from the first indication of user movement, increase the motivational score associated with the second audible sound, wherein increasing the motivational score of the second audible sound indicates one or more of an increased likelihood that the second audible sound is motivational to the user or that the second audible sound causes a motivational effect for the user; and identify, based on the motivational score, that the second audible sound is motivational to a user. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions configured to cause a computing device to:
-
provide first audio data corresponding to a first audible sound, wherein the first audible sound is output to a user; determine, based on at least one signal received from at least one sensor coupled to the computing device, a first indication of user movement in response to providing the first audio data; after determining the first indication of user movement, provide, for a first time of multiple times, second audio data corresponding to a second audible sound, wherein the second audible sound is output to the user, and wherein the second audible sound is different than the first audible sound; in response to providing the second audio data for the first time; determine, based on the at least one signal received from the at least one sensor, a second indication of user movement, the second indication of user movement being different from the first indication of user movement, and determine a motivational score associated with the second audible sound; provide, for a second time of the multiple times, the second audio data corresponding to the second audible sound that is output to the user; in response to providing the second audio data for the second time; determine, based on the at least one signal received from the at least one sensor, a third indication of user movement that is different from the first indication of user movement; and in response to determining that the third indication of user movement is different from the first indication of user movement, increase the motivational score associated with the second audible sound, wherein increasing the motivational score of the second audible sound indicates one or more of an increased likelihood that the second audible sound is motivational to the user or that the second audible sound causes a motivational effect for the user; and identify, based on the motivational score, that the second audible sound is motivational to a user. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
