Abstract

A method and a system using the same for automatically selecting music for a patient to exercise at home following proper tempo music without supervising are disclosed. The method comprises: receiving at least one initial physical data of the patient; generating a basic tempo music according to the at least one initial physical data; providing a plurality of music with different tempo according to the basic tempo music; receiving at least one exercise data of the patient including an exercise time (or duration) of the patient exercising following the basic tempo; and automatically selecting one of the plurality of music according to the at least one exercise data for the patient to exercise following the selected tempo music.

Claims

1. A method for home-based exercise training guided by automatically assessment and selecting music, the method comprising:

receiving at least one initial physical data of a patient;

generating a basic tempo music according to the at least one initial physical data for the patient to exercise following the basic tempo of the basic tempo music;

providing a plurality of music with different tempo according to the basic tempo music;

receiving at least one exercise data of the patient including an exercise time or duration of the patient exercising following the basic tempo; and

selecting one of the plurality of music according to the at least one exercise data for the patient to exercise following the tempo of the selected music.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the exercise data further comprises a heart rate data, oxyhemoglobin or deoxygenated hemoglobin data, or a dyspnea rating data.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing the at least one exercise data.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving initial signal and end signal for calculating the exercise duration of the patient.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the basic tempo music can be the same or not the same as the proper tempo music.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of receiving the exercise data can use the communication technology of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), RF, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), or the like.

7. A system for home-based exercise training guided by automatically assessment and selecting music for a patient, the system comprising:

an exercise status database storing at least one exercise data of the patient;

a control unit connected with the exercise status database for selectively providing a proper tempo music instruction based on the at least one exercise data; and

a playing apparatus stored with the a plurality of music with different tempo, the playing apparatus receiving the proper tempo music instruction to play one of the plurality of music for the patient to exercise following the proper tempo of the selected music;

wherein the playing apparatus can provide and transmit the at least one exercise data comprising an exercise time or duration of the patient to the control unit.

8. The system of claim 7, further comprising an initial physical status database connected with the control unit for storing at least one initial physical status data of the patient;

wherein the control unit provide a basic tempo music instruction to the playing apparatus according to the at least one initial physical status data for the playing apparatus to selectively play a basic tempo music of one of the plurality of music, and the at least one exercise data comprising an exercise duration of exercising following the basic tempo music.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the playing apparatus is capable of sending initial signal and end signal for calculating the exercise duration of the patient.

10. The system of claim 7, further comprising a heart rate monitor for obtaining a heart rate data of beginning or ending of the exercise;

wherein the at least one exercise data further comprises the heart rate data or a dyspnea rating data.

11. The system of claim 10, further comprising an oximeter for obtaining an oxyhemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin data at any time during exercising or beginning of the exercise.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the playing apparatus further comprises a display screen for displaying at least one survey to be filled for the heart rate data, the dyspnea rating data, or the oxyhemoglobin data of the patient.

13. The system of claim 7, wherein the playing apparatus has the function of communication technology of the communication technology of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), RF, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), or the like.

14. The system of claim 7, wherein the playing apparatus can be a cell-phone or a user wireless transceiver.

15. The system of claim 14, further comprising a system transceiver for receiving data transmitted from the playing apparatus and forwarding to the control unit.
