摘要:
Location information obtained from a positioning system 4 and environmental information such as time, temperature, air pressure and the like measured by an environmental information sensor 6 are associated with the reproduction history of music and are recorded in a history storage RAM 14, and music reproduced in the past at the same location as the present location is automatically selected and the music suitable for the location is automatically selected and reproduced based on the location information.

Bio-information sensors acquire bio-information about a user, and environmental condition sensors acquire environmental information about the user. A call-sound generating unit generates audio data from the bio-information and the environmental information, and the audio data is recorded in a ROM. Upon detecting a call signal transmitted from a base station, a CPU causes the call-sound generating unit to read the audio data. The CPU causes the call-sound generating unit to supply the audio data to a speaker that generates the sound from the audio data.

By providing bio-information and/or environment information between a pair of users, it becomes possible for the users to understand the situation or the feeling of each other more deeply and earlier. A communication system for exchanging the situations and the feelings of both the users is provided without performing optional communication operations, such as a telephone call and an e-mail. The condition or the situation on the transmitter side is to be judged and to be notified to the receiver side by inputting bio-information such as breathing, pulse-beats and heartbeats or environment information such as weather, date and hour, ambient temperature, or alternatively, by comparing, synchronizing and/or relating the bio-information and/or the environment information at present with respect to the bio-information and/or the environment information in the past. With respect to the situation of the receiver side, it is also notified similarly to the transmitter side.

A processing control method for a portable music playback apparatus includes the steps of determining whether a motion mode of the music playback apparatus is a steady-motion mode that is associated with motion of a user or an unsteady-motion mode that is not associated with the motion of the user by analyzing an output of a motion sensor installed in the music playback apparatus; and switching processing of the music playback apparatus in accordance with a determination result obtained by the determining step.

A content searching method includes the steps of: detecting movements of a user as movement information; detecting a movement pattern of the user as key information from the movement information; and searching for a piece of content having a content pattern according to the key information among a plurality of pieces of content.

摘要:
An image-generating unit receives numerical values and outputs an image that varies according to changes in the numerical values. The numerical values are bio-information measured by a bio-information sensor and environmental information measured by an environmental sensor. Since the bio-information and the environmental information are variables whose changes are unpredictable, the resultant output image changes in a variety of forms. The image generated by the image-generating unit is displayed on a displaying unit.

Reproducing characteristics of an audio sound are controlled by an audio controller 8 and reproducing characteristics of a video image are controlled by a video controller 11. Whether or not a viewpoint of the user is directed to a display 13 side of a television receiver is detected by a viewpoint detector 14. On the basis of a detection signal from the viewpoint detector 14, a discriminating unit 15 discriminates which of a normal monitoring state, a “while watching” state, and the “concentration” state the present state corresponds to, and generates a control signal to control the reproducing characteristics so as to be adaptive to the state. If it is determined that the present state changes from the “while watching” state to the “concentration” state, a sound volume is reduced and the reproducing characteristics are automatically switched so as not to obstruct the concentration.
摘要:
A sound, a video and/or other environments are proposed in tune with the physical condition of a user and a peripheral environmental condition such that it becomes possible for users to feel comfortable and to be satisfied with their sensibility. It is designed to produce an objective sound, video and/or other environments by inputting bio-information of a user such as breathing, pulse-beats and heartbeats or environment information such as weather, date and hour and ambient temperature, by comparing information with the accumulated information utilized in the past, or by setting a condition that the user desires.

A data reproducing apparatus is disclosed. The data reproducing apparatus comprising reproducing means for reading data from a recording medium, and data varying means for varying the data that is read from the recording medium whenever the data is read therefrom or once every a plurality of times it is read therefrom.
