Abstract
An apparatus temporal stops to output an exercise video, in response to determining that the request for temporal stop is received. The apparatus changes to a second audio volume of MIDI data by decreasing first audio volume by a pre-determined value and to a second exercise tempo by decreasing first exercise tempo by a pre-determined tempo value, in response to determining that a request for the temporal stop is received. The apparatus changes the second audio volume to the first audio volume, and the second exercise tempo to the first exercise tempo, in response to determining that a request for cancelling temporal stop is received. The apparatus restarts to output the exercise video representing the exercise motion based on the first exercise tempo.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory configured to store Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) data and computer-executable instructions therein that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
- output audio based on the MIDI data according to a first exercise tempo and first audio volume;
- output exercise video representing an exercise motion according to the first exercise tempo, wherein the exercise video is configured to be output to a display;
- determine whether a request for a temporal stop of outputting the exercise video is received;
- change to a second audio volume of MIDI data by decreasing the first audio volume by a pre-determined value and to a second exercise tempo by decreasing the first exercise tempo by a pre-determined tempo value, in response to determining that a request for the temporal stop is received;
- output audio based on the MIDI data according to the second audio volume and the second exercise tempo, in response to changing to the second audio volume and the second exercise tempo;
- perform a temporal stop process by temporarily stopping to output the exercise video, in response to determining that the request for the temporal stop is received;
- determine whether a request for cancelling the temporal stop of outputting the exercise video is received;
- change the second audio volume to the first audio volume, and the second exercise tempo to the first exercise tempo, in response to determining that the request for cancelling the temporal stop is received;
- output audio based on the MIDI data according to the first audio volume and the first exercise tempo, in response to determining that the request for cancelling the temporal stop is received, and
- restart to output the exercise video representing the exercise motion based on the first exercise tempo.
