PORTABLE AUDITORY APPLIANCE WITH MOOD SENSOR AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AN INDIVIDUAL WITH SIGNALS TO BE AUDITORILY PERCEIVED BY SAID INDIVIDUAL

摘要

The method for providing an individual with signals to be auditorily perceived by said individual comprises the steps a) measuring at least one magnitude related to a state of mind of said individual; b) obtaining output audio signals, wherein said output audio signals are dependent on a result of said measuring; c) converting said output audio signals into signals to be auditorily perceived by said individual; and preferably also the step of p) providing data representative of a target state of mind of said individual, wherein said output audio signals are dependent on said data representative of said target state of mind of said individual. The portable appliance comprises a source of audio signals structured and configured for outputting output audio signals; an output converter structured and configured for converting said output audio signals into signals to be auditorily perceived by an individual; a sensing unit structured and configured for sensing at least one magnitude related to a state of mind of said individual; and a control unit operationally interconnected between said sensor and said source of audio signals, wherein said control unit is structured and configured for accomplishing that said output audio signals are dependent on a result of said sensing.
