Music selection and adaptation for exercising
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing music while exercising, comprising:
- receiving, at a server, a request for a music segment, the request including a pace at which a cycle of motions that characterizes an exercise is performed;
selecting, based on the pace, the music segment, the music segment having a cycle of beats;
adjusting the music segment so that a phase of the cycle of beats matches a phase of the cycle of motions; and
sending the adjusted music segment to a device associated with a performer of the exercise.

Abstract
Methods, devices, systems, and computer programs are presented for providing music while exercising. One method includes an operation for receiving a request for a music segment from a computing device. The request includes the pace of exercise of a user associated with the computing device. The music segment is selected based on the pace, and the music segment is modified to correlate the tempo of the music segment to the pace of exercise. The modified music segment is sent to the computing device to be played in one or more speakers to provide music that is correlated to the exercise.

12. A method for providing music while exercising, comprising:
-
providing, from a server, a music segment, the music segment at a volume; receiving, at the server, information about a desired pace at which a cycle of motions that characterizes an exercise is to be performed; receiving, recurrently at the server, information about an actual pace at which the cycle of motions is performed; adjusting the music segment by one of increasing the volume, in response to the actual pace being less than the desired pace, or decreasing the volume, in response to the actual pace being greater than the desired pace; and sending the adjusted music segment to a device associated with a performer of the exercise. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer code for controlling a processor to cause the processor to provide music, the computer code including instructions to cause the processor to:
-
detect a pace of exercise; select a music segment based on the pace; modify the music segment to correlate a tempo of the music segment to the pace of exercise; introduce a delay in the modified music segment to synchronize the music segment to cycles of the pace of exercise; and play the modified music segment in one or more speakers.

22. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer code for controlling a processor to cause the processor to provide music, the computer code including instructions to cause the processor to:
-
detect a pace of exercise for each section of an exercise program; for each section, select a music segment based on the pace of exercise of the section; modify the music segment to correlate a tempo of the music segment to the pace of exercise of the section; adjust a volume of the modified music segment based on a difference between the pace of exercise and the tempo; and play the modified music segment in one or more speakers.
