SONG BEAT/EXERCISE TEMPO SYNCHRONIZATION APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An audio beat/user tempo synchronization apparatus, comprising:
- an audio player generating an audio stream;
user inputs, carried on a mount, adapted to be mounted on a user'"'"'s finger;
an accelerometer detector determining a user'"'"'s tempo in beats per unit time of movement of the user;
a control coupled to the audio player and detecting the beats per unit time of the audio stream; and
the control synchs the beats per unit time of the audio stream to the beats per unit time of the user'"'"'s tempo.

Abstract
An apparatus for synchronizing an audio stream beat with a movement tempo enclosed audio device generating an audio stream. The detectors determine the beat per unit time of the audio stream and the tempo of movement of a user. Control input carried on a user'"'"'s finger control the play of the audio device and the synchronization operation. In one aspect, the audio device and the control input are carried in a sleeve worn on a user'"'"'s finger and wirelessly transmit the synchronized audio stream to headphones worn by a user. In another aspect, the audio device and an accelerometer for detecting user tempo are mounted in the headphone and wirelessly receive control input from the finger mounted control input.
