Abstract
A media-playback device acquires a heart rate, selects a song with a first tempo, and initiates playback of the song. The song meets a set of qualification criteria and the first tempo is based on the heart rate, such as being equal to or less than the heart rate. The media-playback device also initiates playback of a binaural beat at a first frequency. Over a period of time, the binaural beat's first frequency is changed to a second frequency. Over the period of time, the first tempo can also be changed to a second tempo, where the second tempo is slower than the first tempo.
Claims20
A computing device comprising:
- at least one processing device;
- and
- at least one computer readable data storage device storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause a media-playback device to:
- acquire a heart rate;
- select at least one media content item with a first tempo,
- wherein the at least one media content item meets a set of qualification criteria;
- and
- wherein the first tempo is based on the heart rate;
- initiate playback of the at least one media content item;
- over a period of time during the playback of the at least one media content item, change the first tempo to a second tempo, the second tempo being slower than the first tempo;
- initiate playback of a binaural beat at a first frequency during the playback of the at least one media content item;
- and
- over the period of time during the playback of the at least one media content item, change the binaural beat to a second frequency.
A method for selecting and playing a song, the method comprising:
- using a computing device:
- acquiring a heart rate;
- acquiring a moment selection;
- selecting at least one song with a first tempo,
- wherein the at least one song meets a set of qualification criteria;
- and
- wherein the first tempo is based on the heart rate and the moment selection;
- initiating playback of the at least one song;
- initiating playback of a binaural beat at a first frequency at least partially during the playback of the at least one song;
- and
- causing the binaural beat to change to a second frequency during the playback of the at least one song.
A media server comprising:
- a database storing at least a plurality of songs that meet a set of qualification criteria, the set of qualification criteria including:
- a major key and an absence of lyrics;
- at least one processing device in data communication with the database;
- and
- at least one computer readable storage device storing data instructions which, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the media server to:
- acquire a heart rate;
- select a song from the plurality of songs, wherein the song has a first tempo and wherein the first tempo is based on the heart rate;
- initiate playback of the song;
- initiate playback of a binaural beat at a first frequency during the playback of the song;
- and
- over a period of time during the playback of the song, change the binaural beat to a second frequency.
