Abstract
Systems, devices, apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for cadence determination and media content selection are provided. An example media-playback device comprises a media-output device that plays media content items, a cadence-acquiring device, and a cadence-based media content selection engine. The cadence-acquiring device includes an accelerometer and a cadence-determination engine configured to determine a cadence based on acceleration data captured by the accelerometer. The cadence-based media content selection engine is configured to identify a media content item based on the cadence determined by the cadence-determining engine and cause the media-output device to playback the identified media content item.

21. An apparatus for identifying a cadence of a repetitive motion activity, the apparatus comprising:
-
at least one accelerometer; and a cadence-determination engine configured to; obtain a series of measurements from the at least one accelerometer; calculate at least one value based on the series of measurements; and detect a stable cadence by determining whether the at least one value meets at least one stability criterion. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A media playback device comprising:
-
a media output device that plays media content items; a cadence acquiring device comprising at least one accelerometer and a cadence determination engine, the cadence determination engine configured to; obtain a series of measurements from the at least one accelerometer; calculate at least one value representing a cadence based on the series of measurements; and determine whether the cadence is stable; and a cadence based media content selection engine configured to; identify at least one media content item based on the stable cadence; and cause the media output device to play back the at least one media content items. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38)

39. An apparatus for identifying a cadence of a repetitive motion activity, the apparatus comprising:
-
at least one accelerometer; and a cadence-determination engine configured to; obtain a series of measurements from the at least one accelerometer; calculate a first value corresponding to a period of oscillation of the series of measurements over a duration; calculate a second value based on the first value; determine whether the first value and the second value satisfies a predetermined tolerance; and upon determining that the predetermined tolerance is satisfied, calculate a cadence value based on at least one of the first value and the second value. - View Dependent Claims (40)
