Abstract
Music information is output to an operator, such as a vehicle operator, through the use of a portable electronic device. The operator's behavior may be determined on the basis of data received from one or more systems of a moving object which is being controlled or otherwise operated by the operator. One or more individual pieces (or playlists) of music may be respectively stored as music information, for example, corresponding to different detected behaviors or moods of the operator and/or the operation conditions.
Claims20
A portable electronic device usable by an operator of a moving object to output behavior-specific music information comprising:
- a input/output interface configured to connect the portable electronic device to an information system of the moving object;
- a memory containing processor-executable instructions;
- and
- a processor electrically coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the processor-executable instructions to:
- store music information corresponding to a plurality of different operator behaviors and/or operator conditions,
- receive data from an information system of the moving object;
- determine operator behavior information based on said data;
- and
- output a selected piece of said music information corresponding to the determined operator behavior information.
A method for outputting behavior-specific music information to an operator of a moving object using a portable electronic device that is in communication with an information system of the moving object, the method comprising the acts of:
- storing music information corresponding to a plurality of different operator behaviors and/or operator conditions,
- receiving data from an information system of the moving object;
- determining operator behavior information based on said data;
- and
- outputting a selected piece of said music information corresponding to the determined operator behavior information.
