发明名称 Method and apparatus for generating an audio notification file
摘要 A method and apparatus for generating an audio notification file for a computing device are provided. A first audio file associated with a first mental state is selected as a first section of the audio notification file. The audio notification file enabled for storage in a memory. The audio notification file is further enabled for processing by a processing unit to control a speaker. A final state of the audio notification file is determined, the final state designated as a final section of the audio notification file, the final state associated with a second mental state. At least one intermediate section of the audio notification file is generated, between the first section and the second section, by morphing the first audio file to the final state by processing the first audio file using a digital signal processor.

主权项 1. A method for generating an audio notification file for a computing device comprising a processing unit interconnected with a memory and a speaker, said method comprising: selecting a first audio file associated with a first mental state as a first section of said audio notification file, said audio notification file configured for storage in said memory, said audio notification file further configured for processing by said processing unit to control said speaker; determining a final state of said audio notification file, said final state designated as a final section of said audio notification file, said final state associated with a second mental state; and, generating at least one intermediate section of said audio notification file, between said first section and said second section, by morphing said first audio file to said final state by processing said first audio file using a digital signal processor (DSP), wherein said first audio file comprises at least one of a polyphonic file and a music file and said final state comprises a target wave state, said target wave state including one or more of a square wave, a sinusoidal wave, and said morphing said first audio file to said final state comprises increasing a first set of frequencies in said first audio file over a given period of time such that said first set of frequencies morph into said target wave state, and said audio notification file comprises an evolving alert which changes over time from said at least one of said polyphonic file and said music file to said target wave state comprising said first set of frequencies.
