Using music to motivate a user during exercise

摘要

A method for motivating physical performance through music includes the acts of presenting a musical rendition to a user while concurrently receiving workout information. The workout information includes one or both of a current performance level of the user or a current geographical characteristic being traversed by the user. The method further includes modifying the musical rendition based on one or both of the current performance level of the user or the current geographical characteristic being traversed by the user.

主权项

1. A method, implemented at a computer system that includes one or more processors, for motivating physical performance through music, the method comprising acts of:
the computer system accessing a simulated geographical workout route, the simulated geographical workout route including a first geographical characteristic and a second geographical characteristic; the computer system accessing musical parameter data that is associated with the geographical workout route, the musical parameter data including one or more first musical parameters that are associated with the first geographical characteristic and one or more different second musical parameters that are associated with the second geographical characteristic; the computer system identifying first user activity that is associated with the first geographical characteristic and, as a result of the first user activity, preparing a first musical rendition in accordance with the one or more first musical parameters for presentation to the user in connection with the first user activity; the computer system identifying second user activity that is associated with the second geographical characteristic and, as a result of the second user activity, preparing a second musical rendition in accordance with the one or more second musical parameters for presentation to the user in connection with the second user activity; the computer system receiving biometric data of the user, the user biometric data including one or more biometric parameters representing a physiological state of the user during the first user activity; the computer system determining that the one or more biometric parameters of the user during the first user activity do not conform to one or more first target biometric parameters; and the computer system modifying the simulated geographical workout route to encourage the user to achieve the target biometric parameters if the one or more biometric parameters of the user during the first user activity do not conform to the target biometric parameters.
