Heart Rate Control Based Upon Media Content Selection
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A media-playback device comprising:
- a media-output device that plays media content items;
a physiological measurement device programmed to measure at least one physiological measurement of a user of the media-output device, the physiological measurement being associated with a level of exertion of the user during performance of a repetitive-motion activity;
a location-determining device that is configured to determine a location of the media-playback device; and
a physiological control engine configured to;
identify a current physiological measurement for the user;
determine a current location of the media-playback device;
use the current location to estimate a future level of exertion of the user based on an anticipated future location of the media-playback device; and
cause the media-output device to modify playback of the media content items based upon the current physiological measurement and the current location of the media playback device by adjusting a tempo used to select media content items for playback based on the estimated future level of exertion.

8. A media-playback device comprising:
-
a media-output device that plays media content items; a physiological measurement device programmed to measure a heart rate of a user of the media-output device; a location-determining device that is configured to determine a location of the media-playback device; and a physiological control engine configured to; identify a current heart rate for the user; determine a current location of the media-playback device; use the current location to estimate a future level of exertion of the user based on an anticipated future location of the media-playback device; and cause the media-output device to modify a tempo of the media content items based upon the current heart rate and the current location of the media playback device by adjusting a tempo used to select media content items for playback based on the estimated future level of exertion. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

14. A method for media-playback comprising:
-
playing, by a media-output device, media content items; measuring, by a physiological measurement device, a heart rate of a user; identifying a current heart rate of the user; determining a current location of the user; using the current location to estimate a future level of exertion of the user based on an anticipated future location of the user; and modifying playback by the media-output device of the media content items based upon the current heart rate and the current location of the media playback device by adjusting a tempo used to select media content items for playback based on the estimated future level of exertion. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
