Hardware

[0031] The inventions disclosed herein are described below in the context of a system for supporting vibrational and / or sound therapy because they have particular utility in this context. However, the inventions disclosed herein are applicable to other contexts as well.

[0032] Figure 1 illustrates a perspective view of a system 100. The system 100 can be configured to produce vibrations and / or audio for a user. Accordingly, the system 100 may be referred to herein as a “vibro-acoustic system 100.” Figures 2, 3, and 4 illustrate a top view, a side perspective view, and a side view of the vibro-acoustic system 100 respectively.

[0033] The vibro-acoustic system 100 can be used to support a user for a variety of uses. For example, the user can stand, sit, or lay, on the vibro-acoustic system 100. In another example, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be used by the user while performing functional movements, such as exercise, yoga, and / or the like. The vibro-acoustic system 100 can provide vibrational therapy and / or sound therapy to the user. In some cases, it can be desirable for the user to receive both sound and vibrational therapy simultaneously from the vibro-acoustic system 100.

[0034] The vibro-acoustic system 100 can be configured for use in the user’s home and outside the home. For example, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be portable. In some cases, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can move between different configurations. In a first, flat, or extended configuration, shown in at least Figures 1-4, the vibro-acoustic system 100 is substantially flat and configured for use. For example, “substantially flat” can include a configuration where a majority of the vibro-acoustic system 100 is planar or in a parallel plane with a support surface (e.g., the ground) that the vibro-acoustic system 100 is supported by. In a second, rolled, compact configuration (not shown), the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be configured for storage, charging, and / or for travel. For example, in the second configuration the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be rolled on itself, folded on itself, and / or the like, similar to how a yoga mat or rug can be rolled and stored.

[0035] With continued reference to Figures 1-4, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include a support structure 102. The support structure 102 forms the main body of the vibro-acoustic system 100. The support structure 102 may be referred to herein as the “mat” or “mat portion” of the system 100.

[0036] The support structure 102 can include, house, or otherwise enclose one or more subsystems and electronic systems of the vibro-acoustic system 100. For example, the support structure 102 can house one or more transducers and / or speakers for providing vibration and / or sound therapy to the user. As described further herein, in some cases, the support structure 102 can house a plurality of transducers configured to produce vibrations.

[0037] During use, the support structure 102 can be positioned on a support surface, such as a floor, a platform, a table, and / or the like. During use, the user can stand, sit, or lay on the support structure 102 and be supported by the support structure 102. For example, the support structure 102 can include a top side 112 and a bottom side 113. During use, the user can engage the top side 112 while the bottom side 113 engages the support surface.

[0038] In some implementations, the support structure 102 can be constructed of one or more materials suitable to support a wide range of users (e.g., varying weights) while maintaining an exterior that promotes a pleasant feel and aesthetic look.

[0039] The support structure 102 can be of a similar shape and size as a yoga mat. In the illustrated example, the support structure 102 can be substantially rectangular. For example, the support structure 102 can have a greater length extending along a longitudinal axis than a width extending along a latitudinal axis. In some implementations, the support structure 102 can have rounded corners. Desirably, the support structure 102 can have a length and a width that allows the user to lay flat on the support structure 102 while the user’s entire body is in contact with the support structure 102. For example, the support structure 102 can have a length greater than 5 feet, greater than 6 feet, greater than 7 feet, greater than 8 feet, and / or the like. In some examples, the support structure 102 has a width greater than 1 foot, greater than 1.5 feet, greater than 2 feet, greater than 3 feet, greater than 4 feet, and / or the like. The length and width of the support structure 102 can be variable, depending on the intended use of the vibro-acoustic system 100.

[0040] In other implementations, the support structure 102 can have a different size or shape, depending on the desired use. For example, the support structure 102 could be square, circular, and / or the like.

[0041] The support structure 102 can have a thickness that promotes user conform while still allowing the vibro-acoustic system 100 to be easily transportable in the second configuration. For example, the support structure 102 may have a thickness of greater than 0.125 inches, greater than 0.25 inches, greater than 0.5 inches, greater than 1 inch, greater than 1.5 inches, greater than 2 inches, and / or the like.

[0042] In some implementations, the support structure 102 can include one or more layers or portions. The one or more layers can be stacked or otherwise engaged with each other to form a single body. In the illustrated example, the support structure 102 includes a first layer 104 and a second layer 106. The first layer 104 can be the top layer of the support structure 102 and can include the top side 112. The second layer 106 can be disposed below the first layer 104 during use of the vibro-acoustic system 100. For example, the second layer 106 can be configured to be positioned below the first layer 104 in use. During use, the user may primarily be in contact with the first layer 104 and be supported by the first layer 104.

[0043] The first layer 104 can be constructed of a material that allows a user to comfortably use the vibro-acoustic system 100 while maintaining its shape and look after repeated use. For example, the first layer 104 can be made of a resiliently compressible material. For example, the first layer 104 can be configured to return to its original form after compression (e.g., during use).

[0044] In some cases, the first layer 104 may be constructed of a silicone or a rubber material. In some cases, it can be desirable for the first layer 104 to be easy to clean and / or serialize. In some implementations, the first layer 104 can have a bulk modulus of greater than 103Pa, greater than 104Pa, greater than 105Pa, greater than 106Pa, greater than 107Pa, greater than 108Pa, and / or the like.

[0045] During use, the user can contact the top side / surface 112 of the support structure 102. The top surface 112 can be an external side of the first layer 104. The top surface 112 can be configured to prevent the user from sliding or slipping on the vibro-acoustic system 100. In some implementations, the top surface 112 can be textured. For example, a texturedtop surface 112 can increase the coefficient of friction between the support structure 102 and the user.

[0046] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be configured for use in both a right-side-up orientation (e.g., with the top surface 112 being furthest away from the support surface) or up-side-down orientation (e.g., the top surface 112 in contact with the support surface).

[0047] The second layer 106 can be configured to house one or more subsystems of the vibro-acoustic system 100. For example, the second layer 106 can house a plurality of transducers 116, as shown in Figures 5 and 6. In such examples, the plurality of transducers 116 can be at least partially disposed in the second layer 106.

[0048] The transducers 116 can be haptic transducers configured to produce / generate vibrations. The transducers 116 can be housed or otherwise embedded within the support structure 102. In some cases, the second layer 106 may be made of a material that is resistant to compression, impact, and / or moisture, to protect the transducers 116.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 5, in some implementations, the support structure 102 can include a third layer 110. The third layer 110 can be configured to be disposed below the second layer 106 in use. For example, the second layer 106 can be sandwiched between the first layer 104 and the third layer 110. Accordingly, the third layer 110 can be the bottom layer of the support structure 102. In such an implementation, the third layer 110 can contact the supporting surface (e.g., the floor) during use of the vibro-acoustic system 100. For example, the bottom side / surface 113 of the third layer 110 can be engaged with or otherwise in contact with the support surface during use.

[0050] In some implementations, the support structure 102 may not include the third layer 110 and the third layer 110 can be considered the lower surface of the second layer 106. When included, the third layer 110 can constructed of a material and / or designed to prevent the vibro-acoustic system 100 from slipping or moving relative to the support surface during use. For example, the third layer 110 can be made of a material, coated in a material, and / or textured to increase the coefficient of friction between the bottom surface of the third layer 110 and the support surface. As such, the user can perform functional movements on the vibro-acoustic system 100 (e.g., exercise, yoga, etc.) without the vibro-acoustic system 100 moving.

[0051] In some implementations, the third layer 110 can be constructed of a material having a greater bulk modulus than the first layer 104 and / or the second layer 106. In some cases, having a third layer 110 that is harder or of a different material than the other layers of the support structure 102 can assist with moving the vibro-acoustic system 100 from the first flat configuration to the second rolled configuration. In some cases, a harder third layer 110 can provide a stronger base for improved audio and / or vibrational performance of the vibro-acoustic system 100.

[0052] Referring now to Figures 5 and 6, an exploded view and an exploded-detail view of the vibro-acoustic system 100 respectively are shown. The vibro-acoustic system 100 can include a plurality of transducers 116. The transducers 116 can be housed or embedded within the support structure 102. For example, the transducers 116 can be distributed across the length and width of the support structure 102.

[0053] In the illustrated example, the plurality of transducers 116 can be embedded within a plurality of openings 122 in the second layer 106. Each opening 122 can receive an individual transducer 116, for example. The openings 122 can extend at least partially through a thickness of the second layer 106. For ease of illustration, not all transducers 116 and openings 122 are labeled in Figures 5 and 6.

[0054] The transducers 116 can produce or generate vibrations. The transducers 116 can be haptic sub-systems of the vibro-acoustic system 100. In some implementations, the transducers 116 can produce or generate sounds. The vibrations generated by the transducers 116 can provide vibration and / or sound therapy to the user. For example, when a user is in contact with the support structure 102, the user can sense or feel the vibrations generated by the transducers 116. In some implementations, the transducers 116 can be high-powered bass transducers. In some cases, the transducers 116 may be configured to generate sub-bass frequencies.

[0055] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include one or more speakers (not shown). The one or more speakers can be configured to produce / generate audio. The audio produced by the speakers can be used to provide sound therapy to the user. In some implementations, the speakers can be distributed throughout the support structure 102. In some implementations, the speakers can be located primarily on one end of the support structure 102. For example, the speakers may be primarily positioned within the supportstructure 102 on a side where the user’s head would be positioned when laying on the mat. In other example, speakers may be positioned on both ends of the support structure 102.

[0056] In one example, the speakers can be arranged in one or more rows at one or both ends of the support structure 102. For example, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include a first row of speakers positioned at or near a first end 115 of the support structure 102. In this example, the first end 115 may be the end of the support structure 102 configured to support the user’s head during use. In other examples, the speakers can be arranged in more than one row in the support structure 102. For example, there can be two or more first rows of speakers positioned at or near the first end 115. In other examples, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include one or more second rows (e.g., one row, two rows, more than two rows, etc.) of speakers positioned at a second end 117 of the support structure 102. The second end 117 can be opposite the first end 115.

[0057] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include one or more speaker bars. For example, one or more speaker bars can be positioned at or near the first end 115 of the support structure 102 and / or one or more speaker bars can be positioned at or near the second end 117 of the support structure 102.

[0058] In some implementations, the speakers may be arranged to surround the user’s head while the user undergoes therapy on the vibro-acoustic system 100. For example, the speakers can be positioned where the user’s head would typically be located when the user is laying on the support structure 102. Arranging the speakers around the user’s head can be used to create an immersive spatial sound experience for the user. The combination of the user’s body feeling the music (e.g., via the vibrations produced by the transducers 116), and the user’s ears hearing the music, creates an out-of-body experience that takes meditation to another level, allowing the user to achieve a higher state of consciousness.

[0059] Regardless of the configuration and distribution of speakers throughout the support structure 102, in some cases, the speakers can be configured to produce spatial audio. For example, at least one or the one or more speakers of the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be a spatial audio speaker.

[0060] The vibro-acoustic system 100 can include a control system (not shown). The control system can be configured to control the plurality of transducers 116 and / or the speakers. For example, the control system can be configured to control the transducers 116 togenerate vibroacoustic vibrations and / or to control the one or more speakers to generate audio, including spatial audio.

[0061] In some cases, the control system may be housed or otherwise embedded within the support structure 102. The control system may be configured to receive instructions for controlling vibration and sound therapy. In some cases, the instructions can be received via an interface of the vibro-acoustic system 100. In other cases, the instructions can be received from a user device (e.g., a wireless phone or device), as described further herein. In such cases, the control system can be configured to communicate with the user device using a wireless communication protocol.

[0062] With continued reference to Figures 5 and 6, in the illustrated example, each transducer 116 can be secured within a transducer housing 120. For example, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include a plurality of transducer housings 120. The transducer housings 120 can secure and protect the transducers 116. When included, the transducer housings 120 can be received with the plurality of openings 122 within the second layer 106.

[0063] The transducers 116 can be distributed throughout the support structure 102 (e.g., within second layer 106). For example, the transducers 116 can be spread out across the length and width of the support structure 102. Arranging the transducers 116 in this manner can also the user to experience vibration across their body when laying on the support structure 102.

[0064] In the illustrated example, the transducers 116 are arranged in a series of rows 124. Other arrangements are possible. When arranged in rows, each row 124 can be a row of openings 122 that receive the transducers 116 (and the transducer housings 120 when included). Each row 124 can include one or more transducers 116. For example, each row can include more than one, more than two, more than three, more than four, more than five, and / or the like transducers 116. In some implementations, the rows 124 can extend substantially perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the support structure 102. The longitudinal axis extends along the length of the support structure 102.

[0065] Each transducer row 124 can be separated from adjacent transducer rows 124 by a gap 126. The gaps 126 can be portions of the second layer 106 that do not house any transducers 116. Accordingly, a series of transducer rows 124 can span the length of the support structure 102 separated by the gaps 126.

[0066] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be configured to move between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, shown in at least Figures 1-4, the support structure 102 is substantially flat and configured for use. In the second configuration, the support structure 102 can be rolled and / or folded on itself. The second configuration may also be referred to herein as the “compact configuration.”

[0067] When included, the gaps 126 between the transducer rows 124 can allow the support structure 102 to be rolled while protecting the transducers 116 from damage. For example, the gaps 126 can be the portion of the support structure 102 that bends when the support structure 102 is rolled or folded. In some cases, the gaps 126 can have a width of greater than 1 inch, greater than 2 inches, greater than 3 inches, greater than 4 inches, greater than 5 inches, greater than 6 inches, and / or the like.

[0068] In some cases, the first layer 104 can be constructed of a material that does not crease or shows minimal external change when moved from the first configuration to the second configuration. For example, the first layer 104 can be resilient such that the external surface remains substantially unchanged after returning to the flat first configuration from the second configuration. In some implementations, the layers of the support structure 102 (e.g., the first layer 104, the second layer 106, the third layer 110, and / or the fourth layer 114) can comprise flexible and / or resiliently compressible materials.

[0069] In the second configuration, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be transportable. In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be lightweight for easy transportation. For example, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may have a weight of less than 50 pounds, less than 40 pounds, less than 30 pounds, less than 20 pounds, less than 10 pounds, and / or less than 5 pounds.

[0070] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be configured to move between the first configuration and the second configuration automatically. For example, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may move to the second configuration without the user manually rolling or folding the vibro-acoustic system 100.

[0071] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may maintain the second configuration until the user causes the vibro-acoustic system 100 to move back to the first configuration.

[0072] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include an electroactive polymer. For example, vibro-acoustic system 100 may move between the first configuration and the second configuration, and vice-versa, when an electrical field is applied or removed from the vibro-acoustic system 100. In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be configured to move between configurations when an electrical current is applied to or removed from the vibro-acoustic system 100.

[0073] In some implementations, one or more hinges (not shown) can be coupled to or positioned at least partially within the support structure 102 such that the support structure 102 can be folded one or more times. For example, the hinges can be positioned within the gaps 126 between the transducer rows 124. In such implementations, the hinges may be integrated or embedded into the structure of the second layer 106. As such, the hinges may not be visible and may be hidden from the user.

[0074] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in the illustrated example, the support structure 102 can include a fourth layer 114. When included, the fourth layer 114 can be disposed between the first layer 104 and the second layer 106. Accordingly, the fourth layer 114 can serve as a barrier between the first layer 104 and the second layer 106, which can house the transducers 116. The fourth layer 114 may be an impact-resistant material. The fourth layer 114 can help protect the transducers 116 from damage during use. For example, the fourth layer 114 may be configured to support and / or distribute the weight of the user such that no force or minimal force is applied to the transducers 116. In some implementations, the fourth layer 114 can be waterproof or water-resistant. The various layers of the support structure 102 can be configured to support the weight of the user while protecting the transducers 116. For example, the user can stand on the support structure 102 without causing damage to the transducers 116.

[0075] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include one or more membranes or other structures to protect the transducers 116 and / or other electronics of the vibro-acoustic system 100. For example, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include a water-resistant membrane. The water-resistant membrane may surround individual transducers 116, groups of transducers 116, and / or the entire second layer 106. In some cases, the fourth layer 114 can be the water-resistant membrane.

[0076] The various layers of the support structure 102 can be bonded together such that the support structure 102 forms a unitary body. For example, the first layer 104, the second layer 106, the third layer 110, and / or the fourth layer 114 may be bonded together. In some implementations, one or more conventional bonding techniques can be used, such as adhesives. In some implementations, the various layers of the support structure 102 can be bonded using a lamination process.

[0077] The transducers 116 are configured to produce vibrations such that, in use, a user feels the vibration and bass with their body while simultaneously hearing the music associated with the sound therapy. In some implementations, the transducers 116 may be positioned to target specific portions of a user’s body with vibrational therapy. For example, transducers 116 may be positioned beneath a user’s legs, hips, backs, shoulders, and / or the like. As described further herein, the combination of a user’s body feeling the music through their body via the transducers 116 and hearing the music through their ears (e.g., via speakers or headphones), creates an out-of-body experience that may resemble a meditative state and may allow the user to achieve a higher state of consciousness.

[0078] In some implementations, at least a portion of the support structure 102 and / or other components of the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be configured to dampen the vibrations produced by the plurality of transducers 116 such that minimal vibration is transmitted outside of the vibro-acoustic system 100. For example, a user may experience vibrational therapy, but external persons may not feel the vibrations. Dampening the vibration of the vibro-acoustic system 100 may provide benefits of allowing the vibro-acoustic system 100 to be used on elevated floors of buildings and may allow multiple vibro-acoustic system 100 to be in operation in a room.

[0079] In some implementations, the audio delivered by the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be split into multiple channels and diverted to different areas of the support structure 102. For example, some channels (e.g., low frequency) may be directed to the transducers 116 to cause or contribute to the vibrations. In another example, some channels (e.g., mid frequency, high frequency, and / or the like) may be diverted to the speakers or headphones. In some cases, splitting the audio contributes to the combination of the user’ s body feeling the music (e.g., the low frequency channel) while also hearing the music (e.g., the mid / high frequency channel).

[0080] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be configured for use with headphones. For example, the headphones may be used within the vibro-acoustic system 100 to deliver the sound therapy to the user. The vibro-acoustic system 100 may be configured to deliver sound therapy via the speakers and / or via the headphones.

[0081] The vibro-acoustic system 100 may be configured to wirelessly transmit the audio for music therapy to the user’ s headphones. For example, the control system of the vibro-acoustic system 100 may include an audio system configured to use a wireless communication protocol (e.g., Bluetooth or the like) to transmit audio to the user’s headphones. In such cases, the audio system of the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be configured to pair with a wireless device (e.g., wireless headphones) to deliver audio signals to the wireless device.

[0082] In addition to or alternatively to the wireless audio system, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be configured to deliver audio via a wired device (e.g., wired headphones). In such an implementation, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may include an audio port (e.g., an audio output interface) accessible through the support structure 102 to allow the vibro-acoustic system 100 to be connected to the wired audio device. In such cases, the audio output interface can output an audio signal to an external device (e.g., the user’s headphones).

[0083] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include an audio control. For example, the audio control may be configured to control at least a volume of the one or more speakers or headphones. The audio control may be disposed on an external surface of the support structure 102.

[0084] In addition to or alternatively to the audio control, the volume of the sound therapy may be controlled via an external user device, such as a mobile phone via an application executing on the user device. For example, the control system of the vibro-acoustic system 100 may communicate with the user device. In this example, the user device can deliver computer-executable instructions to the control system of the vibro-acoustic system 100 to cause the transducers 116 to produce vibrations and the vibro-acoustic system 100 to produce sounds (e.g., via the speakers or headphones).

[0085] In some implementations, users may be able to choose to receive the audio related to the sound therapy via the internal speakers of the vibro-acoustic system 100 or external wired or wireless headphones. Headphones may provide, for example, a more personalized and deeper experience in sound meditation.

[0086] In some implementations, the way the audio is distributed via the vibroacoustic system 100 may vary depending on whether a user is listening to the audio via headphones or via the speakers. For example, when using headphones, all of the audio channels may be diverted to the headphones. In another example, when using the speakers, only a portion of the audio channels may be directed to the speakers. In some implementations, all of the audio channels may be directed to the speakers. In some implementations, the external user device can be used to control or direct audio to both speakers of the vibro-acoustic system 100 and the user’s headphones simultaneously.

[0087] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include a multi-channel bass amplifier system that allows the user to have immersive experiences by turning on the bass in different zones at different times. For example, the transducers 116 may be positioned in one or more groupings, such as, for example, rows, quadrants, and / or the like. The user may be able to select a vibrational therapy that has different transducers 116 and / or different groupings of transducers 116 producing different types and quantities of vibrations at different times. For example, when laying on the support structure 102, one vibrational / sound therapy may include a rolling waves of bass that turn different transducers 116 on one by one starting from transducers 116 positioned closest to the user’s feet and continuing through each transducer 116 working towards the user’s head. As the vibrational / sound therapy continues, the wave pattern of vibrations may repeat. This rhythmic wave of bass running through the user’s entire body like a wave may create an experience of total immersion and transcendence.

[0088] In some implementations, the vibrational / sound therapy may include transducers 116 being activated in patterns related to the sounds the user is experiencing. For example, different transducers 116 may be activated on the left and right, top and bottom, and / or the like sides of the user at various times.

[0089] In some implementations, users will experience a range of different vibrations during a therapy session. In some implementations, the vibrational therapy may include the transducers 116 being activated from the farthest outside location on the user’s sides and working towards the middle. For example, the transducers 116 closest to the outside of the user’s arms may activate followed by the next closest transducer(s) 116 to the middle of the support structure 102 and so on. In another example, the pattern may be switched, withtransducers 116 closest to the middle of the support structure 102 being activated and transducers 116 closer to the edges of the support structure 102 being progressively activated.

[0090] In some implementations, the transducers 116 may be activated moving from the front to the back of the support structure 102 or vice-versa. In some implementations, the transducers 116 may be activated to create a diagonal pattern. In some implementations, the transducers 116 may be activated in a random order. It is recognized that while a few examples of different patterns have been provided, the transducers 116 can be activated in any order or groupings to create a desired vibrational therapy routine.

[0091] In some implementations, one or more layers of the support structure 102 may include a plurality of perforation holes or channels. The perforation channels may extend partially or completely through the one of more layers of the support structure 102. For example, the perforation channels may extend through the first layer 104. In some cases, the perforation channels may be aligned with the transducers 116. For example, one or more perforation channels may be aligned with each transducer 116. The perforation channels may improve the sound or vibrational experience of the user.

[0092] The vibro-acoustic system 100 can include a power source. The power source (not shown) may be configured to provide power to the various subsystems of the vibro-acoustic system 100 (e.g., the transducers 116, the control system, the speakers, etc.). The power source can be at least partially disposed, embedded, or otherwise housed within the support structure 102. The power source can be a battery. When included, the power source can be wired or wireless. For example, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include an electrical interface configured to electrically connect the system 100 to an external power source.

[0093] The power source can be configured to be connected to a charging unit for charging. In some cases, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be used with a docking system. The docking system can include the charging unit. The docking system can be configured to receive at least a portion of the support structure 102 when in the second configuration. For example, when rolled or folded in the second configuration, the support structure 102 may be positioned within the docking system. When received within the docking system, the power source can connect to the charging unit and the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be charged.

[0094] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include an electrical interface configured to electrically connect the power source to an external device(e.g., to charge the external device). When included, any of the electrical interfaces of the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be positioned anywhere on or through the support structure 102. For example, electrical interface(s) can be positioned within a sidewall of the support structure 102.

[0095] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may include a light system (not shown). The light system may extend around at least a portion of the support structure 102. The light system may comprise one or more light emitting diodes (LED, OLED, etc.), compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), halogen lamps, incandescent bulbs, and / or the like. In some implementations, the light system may comprise a plurality of bulbs positioned beneath a diffuser to create an aura of light around the vibro-acoustic system 100. In some implementations, the light system may be configured to generate a plurality of different colors. For example, different colors may support and / or correspond to different emotional or spiritual states. Because color photons have individual wavelengths and frequency (e.g., are visually vibratory), the user’s body may recognize the waveforms when exposed to the light system and have a bodily or emotional response to the colored light. For example, users can perceive color due to the vibration or frequency attribute that a color comprises. So, users can experience a specific colored / visual aura and energy for their experience and time using the vibro-acoustic system 100. As described further herein, the colors may be selectable by the user (e.g., by an app associated with the vibro-acoustic system 100) and / or may be selected to relate to the vibrational and sound therapy a user is experiencing. In some implementations, the light system may generate colors that match emotions the user is experiencing (e.g., as determined by user inputs) and the user may be able to adjust the color via an app associated with the vibro-acoustic system 100 or manually on the vibro-acoustic system 100. For example, colors may match energies such as, for example, red matching high energy, blue matching calmer energy, and / or the like. In some implementations, the colors produced by light system may vary for the duration of the therapy. In some implementations the colors produced by light system may be consistent for the duration of the therapy. In some implementations, the colors produced by the light system may be selected by a machine learning algorithm / artificial intelligence, as described further herein.

[0096] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include one or more user controls (not shown). The user controls can be positioned on the support structure102 to be accessible to the user. The user controls may be used to control the vibration and / or sound therapy provided by the vibro-acoustic system 100. The user controls may also be used to control other systems of the vibro-acoustic system 100.

[0097] In some implementations, vibration and sound therapy may be controlled by an external user device (e.g., a user phone). When included, user controls may be located or positioned in the support structure 102 such that a user lying down on the support structure 102 can the controls with their hand(s), with minimal impact on the therapy experience. Example controls may include one or more control options related to the sound therapy, such as, for example, play, pause, skip, rewind, fast forward, volume increase, volume decrease, and / or the like. In some implementations, controls may include control options related to the vibrational therapy such as. for example, increased vibration, decreased vibration, and / or the like.

[0098] In some implementations, users may be able to control the vibroacoustic bass channels and audio music separately with built in volume / play / pause / skip buttons on the vibro-acoustic system 100 for quick access to fully customize the level of vibration and sound an individual user prefers.

[0099] In some implementations, all the controls and settings associated with the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be controllable by a user device (e.g., the user device 202 of Figure 8A). For example, the user may be able to modify sound, vibration, and / or the like via an app associated with the vibro-acoustic system 100 accessible through a user device. In such cases, the control system of the vibro-acoustic system 100 can be configured to receive computer-executable instructions from the wireless device, where the computer-executable instructions are configured to cause the plurality of transducers 116 to produce sounds and / or vibrations and / or to cause the speakers to produce audio.

[0100] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may include a headphone input and output system that may be configured to receive a wired headphone set and may allow the user to experience the sound therapy through a wired headphone system. In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be configured to support a wireless sound experience via wireless headphones (e.g., Bluetooth). For example, a user may be able to experience the sound therapy via wireless headphones which may provide benefits ofreducing the noise impact on other users when multiple vibro-acoustic system 100 are in close proximity to each other.

[0101] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may include one or more heat systems (e.g., infrared heat strips). The heat system may be positioned within the support structure 102 to provide the user with an increased temperature. For example, a heat strip may be positioned along the longitudinal center line of the support structure 102 to provide heat to a user’ s spine. When included, the heat system can be configured to heat at least a portion of the support structure 102,

[0102] In some implementations, the user can use the vibro-acoustic system 100 to receive a therapy session. The therapy session may include one or both sound therapy and vibrational therapy. In some implementations, a therapy session may be limited by time such as between 1 minute and 60 minutes. For example, a therapy session may be longer than 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and / or the like. In some implementations, aspects including length, vibrational intensity, audio volume, and / or the like may be customizable for an individual user.

[0103] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be configured to be used on an elevated surface. For example, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be positioned on a massage table. In this example, the user can experience sound and vibration therapy while also receiving a physical treatment, such as a massage. In such an implementation, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may include a securement system configured to allow the support structure 102 to be coupled to the elevated surface. For example, the securement system can be coupled to the support structure 102.

[0104] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be configured for use on a soft or resilient surface. In some cases, the support structure 102 can made of a non-compressible or non-resilient material so that the support structure 102 does not conform to the underlying soft surface is use.

[0105] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may further include a fitted sheet. The fitted sheet may be a foam material. The fitted sheet may be configured to be positioned on the support structure 102 to increase the thickness of the support structure 102. The fitted sheet may also allow the vibro-acoustic system 100 to be used with multiple users without requiring sanitization between therapy sessions.

[0106] In some implementations, a user may be able to control the vibro-acoustic system 100 using an app associated with the vibro-acoustic system 100. In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be used in conjunction with an additional external or internal device to provide visual imagery associated with the sound and vibrational therapy. For example, as described further herein, every emotion in your mind / body generates a specific frequency to that emotion. The vibro-acoustic system 100 may allow a user to choose from a vast list of music frequencies to not only help enhance a user’s mood and support a healthy emotional foundation, but also allow a user to select music based on what emotion they would like to connect with at a deeper level. Based on the desired user sound input, an associated visual output may be presented to a user via virtual reality, augmented reality, and / or the like.

[0107] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include a light (e.g., LED) display showing a logo associated with the vibro-acoustic system 100. The vibro-acoustic system 100 may include a power on / off display and / or a battery power indicator.

[0108] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be configured for use with a wearable device. For example, information about the user from the wearable device may be transmitted to the control system of the vibro-acoustic system 100 or vice versa. In some cases, the information from the wearable device can be used to create the therapy session from the user.

[0109] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be configured as or form part of a chair or seat. For example, the support structure 102 may be configured as a seat and configured to provide vibrational and / or sound therapy to a user of the seat. The seat may be in a vehicle such as a car, a plane, a train, etc. In some implementations the seat may be stand alone for use in a user’s home or outside of the user’s home. In such an implementation, the speakers may be positioned in the head rest for delivering sound therapy to the user and the transducers 116 may be distributed about the seat cushions.IV. Therapy Environment

[0110] Figure 8 A is an example overall system diagram illustrating an implementation of a therapy environment 200 for providing vibrational therapy, sound therapy, and / or other services to users using a therapy system 210. The environment 200 can include user device(s) 202 and third-party platform(s) 206 in communication over network 201 withtherapy system 210. Therapy system 210 may include one or more subsystems and / or subcomponents. Implementations of therapy system 210 will be further described with reference to Figure 8B.a. User Device(s)

[0111] In some implementations, the user device(s) 202 may be a personal computer, a laptop computer, a smart phone, a tablet, smart watch, a wearable, and / or the like, which can be used by a user to access a therapy system 210 over network 201. A user may access therapy system 210 to find coach using the platform, to communicate with a coach, view information (e.g., routine, historical data, assessment data etc.) related to their profile on the platform and / or the like. In some implementations, a one or more user devices 202 can access the therapy system 210 in addition to, or instead of, accessing the therapy system 210 physically in person.b. Third Party Platform(s)

[0112] In some implementation, one or more third-party platform(s) 206 may be in communication with therapy system 210 over network 201. The third-party platforms 206 may comprise one database or multiple databases. For example, there may be a separate database corresponding to each third-party or data from multiple third parties may be stored using virtual partitions or access privileges to prevent the sharing of data among third parties. The third-party platforms 206 may be controlled by a database management system. The third-party platforms 206 may be configured to store data associated with recommendation engine 214 and / or other elements associated with the therapy system 210 as describe further herein. In some implementations, the therapy system 210 may communicate directly with third-party platforms 206 over network 201 (e.g.. via one or more APIs). A third party may be any third party with information that can be utilized by the therapy system 210. For example, a third party may be a healthcare provider (e.g., with medical information about a user, diagnostic information, and / or the like), sound therapy platform, an artist (e.g., who provides music to the system for sound therapy), and / or the like.i. Third Party Data Store(s)

[0113] In some implementations, the third-party platforms 206 may include, one or more third party data store(s) 208, The third-party data store(s) 208 may be configured to store data associated with one or more third-party platforms 206. For example, as described above, third party data store(s) 208 may store data related to medical information that can be accessed using, for example, the recommendation engine 214.c. Therapy System

[0114] In some implementations, a therapy system 210 may communicate with one or more devices (for example, user device 202) over network 201 to facilitate selection or recommendation of sound and vibrational routine selection for users, music selection for users, assessments for users, and / or the like. The therapy system 210 is described further herein with reference to Figure 8B.d. Network(s)

[0115] In some implementations, the network 201 may comprise one or more networks, including, for example, a local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), and / or the Internet, for example, via a wired, wireless, or combination of wired and wireless, communication links. The network 201 can facilitate communication between the user devices 202, third-party platforms 206, and the therapy system 210.

[0116] While Figure 8A shows an example number of systems in communication with network 201. it is recognized that in some implementations, multiple user devices 202, and multiple third third-party platforms 206 may be in communication with network 201 and the therapy system 210. Further, “multiple” can include, for example, tens, hundreds, thousands, or millions, of systems in communication with the therapy system 210. The devices in communication with therapy system 210 (for example, user devices 202) can each include one or more databases and / or parameters. The databases can include data associated with communications conducted by a user. It is recognized that the database may be stored in whole or in part on site in a facility or in one or more cloud storage locations.V. Therapy System

[0117] Figure 8B illustrates an implementation of the therapy system 210 and platform subcomponents. Therapy system 210 may include one or more of the following subcomponents: communications component 212, recommendation engine 214, visualization component 218, hardware component 220, and data store 222. The therapy system 210 may include one or more of each subcomponent for each service offered by the platform. For example, there may be a recommendation engine 214 that is utilized for sound therapy selection, a recommendation engine 214 that is utilized for vibrational therapy selection, a recommendation engine 214 that is utilized for visual therapy selection, and / or the like

[0118] It is recognized that there are other implementations of the therapy system 210 which may exclude features of the example therapy system 210 and / or may include additional features. As such, some of the processes and / or modules discussed herein may be combined, separated into sub-parts, and / or rearranged to run in a different order and / or in parallel. In addition, in some implementations, different blocks may execute on various components of the therapy system 210.a. Communication component

[0119] In some implementations, the communications component 212 may be configured to facilitate communication between the therapy system 210 and other systems and devices. For example, the communications component 212 may facilitate communication with user devices 202 and / or third-party platforms 206. In some implementations, the communications component 212 may include one or more data input components and one or more data output components. The one or more data input components may be configured to receive and process various input data into the therapy system 210. The one or more data output components may be configured to process and format various data and results of the various analyses for access by other systems, such as the user devices 202 and / or third-party platforms 206.

[0120] In some implementations, the therapy system 210 may be compatible with and can be used in conjunction with any combination of the implementations, implementations, or features described in International Patent Publication No. WO 2022 / 251866 (the ’866 publication), filed May 26, 2022, entitled “GENERATING RECOMMENDATIONS BY UTILIZING MACHINE LEARNING,” the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated hereinby reference in its entirety for all purposes. Some or all of the features described herein can be used or otherwise combined together with any of the features described in the ’866 publication. In one example, the communications component 212 can communicate with the systems described in the ’866 publication.b. Recommendation engine 214

[0121] In some implementations, recommendation engine 214 may be configured to determine, select, recommend, and / or match users with sound and vibrational therapy routines. Recommendation engine 214 may include one or more subcomponents, such as, for example, machine learning component 216, and / or the like. In some implementations, recommendation engine 214 may include more or fewer subcomponents and in some implementations, one subcomponent may perform the role of one or more other subcomponents. For example, the machine learning component can implement machine learning (“ML”) algorithms or artificial intelligence (“Al”) algorithms (generally collectively referred to herein as “AI / ML algorithms”, “AI / ML models”, or simply as “ML algorithms”, “ML models”, and / or the like) that may, for example, implement models that are executed by one or more processors.i. Machine learning component 216

[0122] In some implementations, features of the disclosed systems and methods may use one or more machine learning components to improve different aspects of the processes implemented by the system. For example, the machine learning component may update different elements related to the user’s interaction with the system described herein. The machine learning component may include one or more machine learning systems / models, such as, for example, machine learning, artificial intelligence, neural networks, decision trees, and / or the like. For example, the machine learning component can implement machine learning (“ML”) algorithms or artificial intelligence (“Al”) algorithms that may, for example, implement models that are executed by one or more processors. Having an AI / ML model to facilitate user assessments and customized training can provide significant improvements as compared to conventional systems because weighting different factors / inputs may vary in unpredictable or surprising ways that the AI / ML model can be customized and trained to determine. In some implementations, the machine learning component can use one or moremachine learning algorithms to implement one or more models or parameter functions for the detections / identifications.

[0123] In some implementations, a machine learning model can receive inputs it uses to train and / or apply the machine learning model to generate an output. In some implementations, for example, and with respect to a particular user, inputs can include any and / or all user-provided or related information and data (e.g.. interests, music, health conditions or issues, employment or employer information, demographic information, residency, third party data or access to third party accounts, marital information, age, sex, gender, visual or audio data, sensor data, or any other data provided by the user or on the user’s behalf that may be pertinent to diagnosing a physical, mental, or emotional issue or customizing a therapy routine). For example, some professions require sitting all day, so certain therapies can focus on any issues that arise from sitting for extended periods of time. In some implementations, the user’s mood or emotional state (e.g., angry, sad, happy, or the like) may be used as inputs as well. In some implementations, the user’s online presence (e.g., social media and / or public records) or browsing habits may be used as inputs as well. In some implementations, the inputs may be provided by APIs related to other products or applications. With respect to outputs from the machine learning model, for example, the machine learning model may output a determined list of ranked or recommended therapy routines (e.g., gentle to strong vibrational therapy, calming to energizing vibrational therapy, and / or the like), as compared to a particular user based on weighted inputs, where the weights are determined by the machine learning model during training. In another example, the machine learning model may output a determined list of ranked or recommend music for sound therapy as compared to a particular user based on weighted inputs, where the weights are determined by the machine learning model during training. In some implementations, vibrational therapy routines and sound therapy routines are paired together and output as recommendation by the machine learning model. In another example, the machine learning model may output a determined list of ranked or recommend colors for delivering via the light system of the vibro-acoustic system 100 or a therapy session as compared to a particular user based on weighted inputs, where the weights are determined by the machine learning model during training. In some implementations, colors for delivering via the light system of the vibro-acoustic system 100 during a therapy routine may be selected based on one or more of the selected vibrationaltherapy routines and / or sound therapy routines. For example, the color display may be paired with one or more of the selected vibrational therapy routines and / or sound therapy routines and output as a recommendation by the machine learning model. In some implementations, the color display varies with the paired vibrational / sound therapy routine and changes over the course of a therapy session. For example, as the music and / or vibrational progress through a routine, the color displayed via the light system of the vibro-acoustic system 100 may transition as well to match the music and vibrations. For example, where a routine (e.g., including vibrational and / or sound therapy) is selected to calm a user, the color may transition from a warm color (e.g., red, orange, yellow, and / or the like) to a cool color (e.g., green, blue, purple, and / or the like). In another example, where a routine (e.g., including vibrational and / or sound therapy) is selected to energize a user, the color may transition from a cool color to a warm color.

[0124] In some implementations, the machine learning model can be trained based on annotated data comprising electronic information pertaining to successful and / or unsuccessful therapy routines. For example, a successful therapy routine may be a recommended therapy routine that a user completes 100% of the therapy routine. Also, for example, a successful therapy routine may be a therapy routine that user completes above a certain threshold (e.g., 70%, 80% of the therapy routine, or the like). Also, for example, a successful therapy routine may be a therapy routine that a user has indicated satisfaction (e.g., via on-screen feedback, through the user device 202, and / or the like). Also, for example, an unsuccessful therapy routine may be a therapy routine that a user has completed less than a certain threshold (e.g., 0%, 10%. 50% of the therapy routine, or the like). Also, for example, an unsuccessful therapy routine may be a therapy routine that a user has indicated dissatisfaction (e.g., via on-screen feedback, through the user device 202, and / or the like).

[0125] In some implementations, a machine learning model can be further trained based on annotated data comprising electronic information pertaining to a magnitude of success or lack of success. For example, a length of time a user performs a therapy routine can be a factor used by the machine learning model during training or application of the model. For example, a user may perform the same therapy routine for longer than prescribed or multiple times in repetition indicating a higher magnitude of success than a user that may perform a portion of a therapy routine once. Another factor related to magnitude of success orlack of success, for example, can be an amount of improvement measured. For example, the machine learning model or machine learning component 216 can use data related to a user who has performed a therapy routine and where the user has improved significantly from the beginning to the end or upon repeating the same or similar therapy routine. A user that has shown improvement may indicate that the therapy routine is working and is therefore a successful recommendation based on the degree of improvement.

[0126] In some implementations, a machine learning model can be trained based on annotated data comprising electronic information pertaining to successfully selecting music to improve a user’s emotional state. For example, the machine learning model can be trained to correlate human emotional states to brain wave frequencies. For example, a successful music selection may be a music selection where a user identified an improved emotional state after listening to the music selection or after completing a therapy routine with the selected music. For example, a user may indicate improved emotional state (e.g., via on-screen feedback through the user device 202, and / or the like). Also, for example, an unsuccessful music selection may be a selection that a user indicates dissatisfaction. For example, dissatisfaction can include the user having a similar emotional state or an emotional state that is worse than that the user’s emotional state prior to performing a recommended or selected therapy routine.

[0127] In some implementations, a machine learning model can be further trained based on annotated data comprising electronic information pertaining to a magnitude of success or lack of success. For example, the magnitude of user identified improved emotional state may be an indication of success. For example, a user may indicate a significant improvement in emotional state indicating a higher magnitude of success than a user that may indicate a minor improvement in emotional state, no improvement in emotional state, decline in emotional state, and / or the like. Another factor related to magnitude of success or lack of success, for example, can be an amount of improved physical performance, balance, circulation, and / or inflammation of a user while completing a vibrational therapy routine while listening to selected music. For example, the machine learning model or machine learning component 216 can use data related to a user who has performed a vibrational therapy routine and where the user has improved significantly from previous completions of a therapy routine.

[0128] A number of different types of AI / ML algorithms and AI / ML models may be used by the therapy system 210. Further, these AI / ML models may be developed and / ortrained using various methods. For example, certain implementations herein may use a logistical regression model, decision trees, random forests, convolutional neural networks, deep networks, or others. However, other models are possible, such as a linear regression model, a discrete choice model, or a generalized linear model. The machine learning aspects can be configured to adaptively develop and update the models over time based on new input. For example, the models can be trained, retrained, or otherwise updated on a periodic basis as new received data is available to help keep the predictions in the model more accurate as the data is collected over time. Also, for example, the models can be trained, retrained, or otherwise updated based on configurations received from a user, admin, or other devices. Some nonlimiting examples of machine learning algorithms that can be used to train, retrain, or otherwise update the models can include supervised and non-supervised machine learning algorithms, including regression algorithms (such as, for example, Ordinary Least Squares Regression), instance-based algorithms (such as, for example, Learning Vector Quantization), decision tree algorithms (such as, for example, classification and regression trees), Bayesian algorithms (such as, for example, Naive Bayes), clustering algorithms (such as, for example, k-means clustering), association rule learning algorithms (such as, for example, Apriori algorithms), artificial neural network algorithms (such as, for example, Perceptron), deep learning algorithms (such as, for example, Deep Boltzmann Machine), dimensionality reduction algorithms (such as, for example. Principal Component Analysis), ensemble algorithms (such as, for example, Stacked Generalization), support- vector machines, federated learning, and / or other machine learning algorithm. These machine learning algorithms may include any type of machine learning algorithms including hierarchical clustering algorithms and cluster analysis algorithms, such as a k-means algorithm, hi some cases, the performing of the machine learning algorithms may include the use of an artificial neural network. By using machinelearning techniques, large amounts (such as terabytes or petabytes) of received data may be analyzed to generate or implement models with minimal, or with no, manual analysis or review by one or more people.

[0129] In some implementations, supervised learning algorithms can build a mathematical model of a set of data that contains both the inputs and the desired outputs. For example, training data can be used, which comprises a set of training or labeled / annotated examples. Each training example has one or more inputs and the desired output, also knownas a supervisory signal. In the mathematical model, for example, each training example is represented by an array or vector (e.g., a feature vector), and the training data is represented by a matrix. Through iterative optimization of an objective function, supervised learning algorithms can learn a function that can be used to predict the output associated with new inputs. An optimal function, for example, can allow the algorithm to correctly determine the output for inputs that were not a part of the training data. For instance, an algorithm that improves the accuracy of its outputs or predictions over time is said to have learned to perform that task. Types of supervised-learning algorithms may include, but are not limited to: active learning, classification, and regression. Classification algorithms, for example, are used when the outputs are restricted to a limited set of values. Regression algorithms, for example, are used when the outputs may have any numerical value within a range. As an example, for a classification algorithm that filters emails, the input would be an incoming email, and the output would be the name of the folder in which to file the email. In some implementations, similarity learning, an area of supervised machine learning, is closely related to regression and classification, but the goal is to learn from examples using a similarity function that measures how similar or related two objects are. In some implementations, similarity learning has applications in ranking, recommendation systems, visual identity tracking, face verification, and speaker verification.

[0130] In some implementations, unsupervised learning algorithms can take a set of data that contains only inputs, and find structure in the data, like grouping or clustering of data points. For example, the algorithms can learn from test data that has not been labeled, classified, or categorized. Instead of responding to feedback, unsupervised learning algorithms can identify commonalities in the data and react based on the presence or absence of such commonalities in each new piece of data. In some implementations, unsupervised learning encompasses summarizing and explaining data features. In some implementations, cluster analysis is the assignment of a set of observations into subsets (e.g., clusters) so that observations within the same cluster are similar according to one or more predesignated criteria, while observations drawn from different clusters are dissimilar. In some cases, different clustering techniques can make different assumptions on the structure of the data, often defined by some similarity metric and evaluated, for example, by internal compactness, or the similarity between members of the same cluster, and separation, the difference betweenclusters. Other methods, for example, can be based on estimated density and graph connectivity.

[0131] In some implementations, semi-supervised learning can be a combination of unsupervised learning (without any labeled training data) and supervised learning (with completely labeled training data). For example, some of the training examples may be missing training labels, and in some cases such training examples can produce a considerable improvement in learning accuracy as compared to supervised learning. In some implementations, and in weakly supervised learning, the training labels can be noisy, limited, or imprecise; however, these labels are often cheaper to obtain, resulting in larger effective training sets.

[0132] In some implementations, an area of machine learning is concerned with how software agents ought to take actions in an environment so as to maximize some notion of cumulative reward. In some implementations, the environment is typically represented as a Markov decision process (MDP). In some implementations, reinforcement learning algorithms use dynamic programming techniques. In some implementations, reinforcement learning algorithms do not assume knowledge of an exact mathematical model of the MDP and are used when exact models are infeasible.

[0133] In addition to supervised learning algorithms, unsupervised learning algorithms, and semi-supervised learning, and in some implementations, other types of machine learning methods can be implemented, such as: reinforcement learning (e.g., how software agents ought to take actions in an environment so as to maximize some notion of cumulative reward); dimensionality reduction (e.g., process of reducing the number of random variables under consideration by obtaining a set of principal variables); self-learning (e.g., learning with no external rewards and no external teacher advice); feature learning or representation learning (e.g., preserve information in their input but also transform it in a way that makes it useful); anomaly detection or outlier detection (e.g., identification of rare items, events or observations which raise suspicions by differing significantly from the majority of the data); association rules (e.g., discovering relationships between variables in large databases); and / or the like.c. Visualization component 218

[0134] In some implementations, the visualization component 218 may be configured to generate user interfaces and display graphics for user devices 202. For example, the visualization component 218 may be used to present interactive graphical user interfaces including pain selection and emotional state selection, and / or the like. In some implementations, the visualization component 218 may be configured to generate a visual therapy routine for a user as described above.d. Hardware component 220

[0135] In some implementations, the hardware component 220 may be configured to interact with various hardware components described herein with reference to at least Figures 1-11. For example, the hardware component 220 may communicate with or include various device speakers, transducers, electrical components, and / or the like. In some implementations, the hardware component 220 may be configured to activate various hardware components for use in the vibro-acoustic system 100. For example, the hardware component 220 may activate and control the transducers 116, the speakers, various receives, convertor, amplifiers of the vibro-acoustic system 100, and / or the like.e. Data store 222

[0136] In some implementations, therapy system 210 may include a data component or individual data stores that may be configured to control and manage the storage of data within the therapy system 210. For example, data stores may respond to requests from various systems for accessing or updating the data stored within the therapy system 210. The data store 222 may comprise one data store or multiple data stores. For example, there may be a separate database corresponding to each user and each vibro-acoustic system 100. or data from multiple users and vibro-acoustic systems 100 may be stored using virtual partitions or access privileges to prevent the sharing of data among users. The therapy system 210 may include a database management system.VI. User Environment

[0137] As described herein, a user may use the vibro-acoustic system 100 to undergo various vibrational and sound therapy routines. The user can use the vibro-acousticsystem 100 not only to hear audio / music, but also to feel the audio / music though their entire body at a cellular level. Use of the vibro-acoustic system 100 can result in a user experiencing enhanced mediation and recovery. While undergoing a therapy session, a user experiences the vibrations associated with the vibration therapy via the transducers 116 and experience the music associated with the sound therapy via the speakers and / or headphones. In some implementations, the vibrations and music are related and are designed to achieve certain goals. For example, the vibrations and music may match a user’s mood so a user can relate to what they’re feeling on a physical and audible level. In another example, the vibration and music selection may be made to achieve a desired emotional state. In some implementations, the vibrations and music are related to visual displays including external displays and light displays on the light system of the vibro-acoustic system 100.

[0138] Figure 9 A illustrates an example brain before and after brainwave synchronization. In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be configured to produce binaural beats to cause brainwave synchronization. For example, the sound therapy may include using slightly different tones in the audio delivered to the left and right ear of a user. Even though the tones are slightly different, the user’s brain may perceive a single difference tone, resulting in improve brain synchronization. As shown in Figure 9A, a normal person’s brain may have unbalance brainwave patterns and weak function prior to receiving sound therapy. However, after a sound therapy session, similar to meditation, a user may experience better balance of the brain hemispheres, which may allow the brain hemispheres to work in sync.

[0139] Figure 9B illustrates example binaural beats that may be delivered to a user using the vibro-acoustic system 100. In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may support sound therapy that encompasses a full range of brainwave frequencies: Gamma, Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Theta. As shown, each brainwave frequency may be associated with different emotional states such as, for example, awareness, alertness, relaxed, tired, sleep, and / or the like. By relating a desired or current emotion with a brainwave frequency, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may deliver a sound therapy routine to a user to help support physical and emotional healing and relaxation.

[0140] In some implementations, the vibro-acoustic system 100 may be configured to play music and / or sounds that relate to a user’s emotional state, the type of therapy the userdesires, a target emotional state, and / or the like. The music may be selected using the emotional intelligence feature (e.g., machine learning component) and may be paired with different vibrational therapy routines. For example, as described further herein with reference to Figures 10A-10J, in some implementations, users may be able to input one or more emotional state(s) (e.g., moods, emotions, mental states, etc.) into the system, or alternatively, the system can detect an emotional data (e.g., based on camera or sensor data). Based at least in part on this input, the emotional intelligence feature (e.g., machine learning model) may be configured to select music for the user that relate to the user’s emotional state and pair vibrational therapy routines. In some implementations, the emotional intelligence feature may select the music based on the brain wave frequency associated with the one or more emotional states (e.g., as empirically determined and mapped). Because human emotions are controlled by the brain, each emotion produces different brain wave frequencies. In some implementations, the system may access a music library that includes music at a range of frequencies, where each music frequency is matched or paired with a corresponding brain wave frequency. When a user inputs an emotional state and / or the emotional state is otherwise determined / detected), the emotional intelligence feature may determine the corresponding brain wave frequency and select music to play that matches the frequency and vibrational routines that match the selected music. In some implementations, the system may alter the frequency of both the music and / or the vibrations over the course of the therapy session to improve the emotional state of the user. For example, if a user indicates to the system that they are feeling sad, the emotional intelligence feature may initially select music that matches the brain wave frequency that corresponds to sadness. As the user begins a therapy routine (e.g., a vibrational and sound therapy routine via the vibro-acoustic system 100), the emotional intelligence feature may change the music frequency over the course of the therapy session to change, adjust, or improve the user’s emotional state. For example, the emotional intelligence feature may change the music and vibrations corresponding to a certain low frequency over time to increase the frequency in steps so that by the time the user completes the therapy, the music playing is at a higher frequency and the transducers 116 are producing high frequency vibrations that corresponds to a happy brain wave frequency. This feature allows the user to improve their emotional state through both music and completion of vibrational therapy. In some implementations, the emotional intelligence feature may be configured to adjust a person’smood by a certain amount. For example, the emotional intelligence feature may be configured to adjust the mood of a user by a threshold. Depending on the original mood / emotional state of a user, it may be jarring for someone to move too quickly through different levels of therapy to improve their mood. For example, a user who is very low energy or sad may not want to undergo a therapy routine designed to adjust their emotional state to high energy and happy. Instead, a user may want a therapy routine designed to transition their emotional state to medium energy and contentment. In some implementations, a user or an administrator may adjust the routine to target the desired threshold of a user. In some implementations, the threshold can be determined based on personal data related to a user. In some implementations, the threshold can be determined based on general data collected from a plurality of users. In some implementations, the threshold may be determined by the machine learning component 216. In some implementations, the threshold may relate to the total change between a current mood / emotional state of a user to a desired mood / emotional state of the user. In some implementations, the threshold may relate to the total time spent in a therapy session. In some implementations, the threshold may relate to a rate of change of the vibrational / music therapy over the course of a therapy routine. For example, the rate of change may be determined by the total change between a current and desired mood / emotional state of a user and the total time of the therapy routine. In some implementations, a user may be asked to complete a second emotional check in following the completion of the therapy session. The emotional intelligence feature may use the second check in to improve the vibrational therapy selection and / or music section for future sessions.

[0141] Figures 10A-10J illustrate example interactive graphical user interfaces related to emotional intelligence-based sound and vibrational therapy, according to various implementations of the present disclosure. In some implementations, a user can be greeted with the interface via a UI associated with the vibro-acoustic system 100 or via a UI on a computing device (e.g., user device 202) and can select various elements of the interface to indicate their emotional state. As described herein, the system (e.g., ML model) can select sound and vibrational therapy suggestions to present to the user based in part on the indicated emotional state of the user and / or data about the user or the user’s profile.

[0142] Figures 10A-10C illustrate interactive graphical user interfaces that show different emotional states a user can select. In some implementations, the emotional states maybe sorted into one or more categories including, for example, distress, energy, burnout, renewal, and / or the like. The emotional states may also be sorted into different groupings that may be displayed in, for example, a ring formation. For example, each of Figures 10 A- IOC display a different level of the emotional state ring. In some implementations, a user may be able to progress through different levels of emotional states and select which of the presented emotional states apply to their emotional state.

[0143] Figures 10D-10I illustrates interactive graphical user interfaces showing a user selection of emotional states (e.g., acceptance). As shown, once the user makes the selection, the user may be able to confirm the selection by selecting the save button. Figure 10E shows an implementation of the next UI presented to the user having made one selection. In some implementations, a user may be able to choose an option to combine emotions and make further selection of emotional states after a first section. As shown in Figures 10E-10G, a user may be able to progress through the rings to select one or more additional states.

[0144] Figures 10H illustrates an interactive graphical user interfaces showing a user selection of an additional emotional states (e.g., surprise). Once the user makes the additional selection, the user may be given the option to save the additional selection and finish the emotional check-in.

[0145] Figure 101 illustrates an interactive graphical user interface showing the one or more emotional states selected by the user. As shown, in some implementations, the UI may include some further information about the selected emotional states. In some implementations, users may be given the option to view suggestions related to the emotional check-in, such as, for example, music options, vibration options, light display option, visualization options, and / or the like. Users may also be given the option to restart the checkin by selecting new emotional states. As described herein, each emotional state check-in can be logged by the system and users’ trends and historical selections that may be accessible by the user. Figure 10J illustrates a selection by a user.

[0146] Figure 11 illustrates a flow diagram of an example method of determining music for a therapy routine based on an emotional state of a user. Emotional state, as the term is used herein, is intended to be a broad term and may include a user’s mood, emotions, mental state, and / or the like at or during a given point in time (e.g., at a specific moment, over a day, over a week, or the like). Implementations and aspects of the example method are discussedherein, for example, with reference to at least Figures 10A-10J. It is recognized that there are other implementations of the method of Figure 11 which may exclude some of the blocks shown and / or include additional blocks not shown. Additionally, the blocks discussed may be combined, separated into sub-blocks, and / or rearranged to be completed in a different order and / or in parallel.

[0147] At block 1510, the system receives a user selection of the emotional state of the user and / or determines the user’s emotional state by using data collected by one or more cameras or sensors (e.g., as well as using a machine learning model to make determinations based on the collected data). In some implementations, a user may make a selection via a UI on the vibro-acoustic system 100, while in other implementations, a user may make a selection via another computing device in wired or wireless communication with the system. For example, a user may input a selection using an app associated with the vibro-acoustic system 100 via the user device 202. In some implementations, the user may be able to select one or more emotional states (e.g., surprise, acceptance, anxious, happy, sad. depressed, and / or the like) and the system may combine the emotional states for further analyses. As shown in Figures 10A-10J, in some implementations, the emotional states may be sorted into one or more categories including, for example, distress, energy, burnout, renewal, and / or the like. The emotional states may also be sorted into different grouping that may be displayed in, for example a ring formation. In some implementations, a user may be able to progress through different levels of emotional states and select which of the presented emotional states apply to their emotional state. In some implementations, users may be able to input additional emotional states into the system by. for example, selecting a portion of the UI (e.g.. “not listed?”) and input their emotional state (e.g., by typing or saying their emotional state out loud). After a user selects one emotional state, the user may be given the option to save the emotional state. In some implementations, once one emotional state is input, the user may be given the option to select an additional emotional state and combine the emotions. In some implementations, a user may indicate to the system that they have completed their selections by selecting, for example a “finish” button. In some implementations, as a user selects an emotional state, information about the emotional state may be displayed for the user.

[0148] At block 1520, the system provides inputs to a machine learning algorithm / model (e.g., an emotional intelligence model), including the emotional state of theuser. In some implementations, the inputs may include one or more of: data input into the system by the user, such as, for example, health goals and intentions, medical information, user specific information (e.g., age. sex, weight, and / or the like), user emotional state, historical user emotional state, user pain selections, and / or the like, as well as data generated by the system or third party systems, such as movement assessment data, thermal assessment data, user emotional state, other data collected by the system (e.g.. historical routine information), and / or the like. In some implementations, a user may have indicated to the system (e.g., during account / profile creation) one or more music style preferences, favorite bands, and / or the like that may also be input into the machine learning model. In some implementations, the machine learning uses the input emotional state(s) of the user and identifies one or more brain wave frequencies associated with the one or more emotional states. Because human emotions are controlled by the brain, each emotion produces different brain wave frequencies. In some implementations, the machine learning model may correlate each input emotional state to the corresponding brain wave frequency. Based on the brain wave frequencies, the machine learning model may access a music library that includes music at a range of frequencies, where each music frequency matches a corresponding brain wave frequency. Additionally, in some implementations, each music in the music library is paired with a vibrational therapy routine that can deliver different patterns, frequencies, intensities and / or the like via the transducers 116 of the vibro-acoustic system 100. The machine learning model may then generate a list of one or more songs and vibrational therapy routines that have frequencies that match the emotional state (e.g., brain waves) of the user. In some implementations, the machine learning model may further refine the list of one or more songs based on the other data input into the model. For example, the machine learning model may reorganize or rank the songs based on the other data including the user’s music preferences, historical music selections, and / or the like.

[0149] In some implementations, the machine learning model may also generate one or more songs to create a path of songs and vibrations to a target final song and final vibration. For example, the machine learning model may identify a target emotional state for the user (e.g., happy) and may select a final song and vibration that has a corresponding frequency to the brain waves associated with the target emotional state. Based on the starting and final songs and vibrations, the machine learning model may create a path of songs andvibrations that include music and vibrations that transition from the starting frequency to the target frequency. For example, where the user’s emotional state corresponds to low frequencies, and the target emotional state corresponds to high frequencies, the path of songs would include one or more songs that progressively increase in frequency (e.g., first song is low frequency, next song is a higher frequency, next song is high frequency than the previous song, etc.). Similarly, the vibrations delivered by the transducers 116 may increase in frequency and / or intensity as the user progress through the therapy. In some implementations, the number of songs selected and / or the length of the playlist selected corresponds to the length of time for the user to complete the intended therapy routine scheduled for that day. For example, if the user indicated to the system that they were going to complete a 45-minute therapy routine or were scheduled for a 45-minute therapy routine, the machine learning model generated playlist may include enough music to last for the entire routine (i.e., approximately 45 minutes). In some implementations, the machine learning model may generate more than one playlist that includes music and vibrations to complete the entire path.

[0150] At block 1530, the system can receive one or more music options and associated vibrational therapy routines from the machine learning algorithm based at least in part on the emotional state of the user. For example, as described above, the machine learning model may output one or more songs and vibration patterns and / or one or more playlists that include a path of songs and vibrations from an emotional state to a target emotional state.

[0151] At block 1540, the system selects the best song(s) and associated vibrational therapy routines. In some implementations, the system may select a top ranked machine learning model playlist to play for the user. In other implementations, the one or more songs and / or playlists may be presented to the user (e.g., via a UI displayed on user device 202) and the user may select which songs / playlist corresponding to a desired therapy for the vibroacoustic system 100 to generate.

[0152] At block 1550, the system can play music for the user and produce vibrations during the routine (e.g., by headphones, by speakers, and / or by transducers 116). In some implementations, a user may be asked to complete a second emotional check-in following the completion of the routine. The machine learning model may use the second check in to improve music section for future sessions for the user and / or other users (e.g., byimproving the machine learning model, where updates can be shared among devices belonging to different users).

[0153] In some implementations, the method of Figure 11 may be automatically generated and presented to the user as part of a daily emotional check-in (e.g., after the user logs in or begins interacting with the system). In other implementations, the method of Figure 11 may be automatically generated and presented to the user after the user indicated they wish to participate in a vibrational / sound therapy session. In some implementations, a user may be able to complete one or more emotional check-ins at any point during their interaction with the system. In some implementations, emotional check-ins can occur via other devices (e.g., user device 202 by an app). The system may store the user emotional states so that the user or system can track the emotional states of the user over time.

[0154] In some implementations, the control system of the vibro-acoustic system 100 can include one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the control system to receive a selection of a therapy routine and to generate instructions configured to cause the transducers 116 of the vibro-acoustic system 100 to produce vibrations based at least in part on the therapy routine. In some cases, the instructions can cause the one or more speakers of the vibro-acoustic system 100 to produce audio based at least in part on the therapy routine.

[0155] As described herein, selection of the therapy routine can include receiving a selection of a user emotional state from the user (e.g., via the user device). During the therapy routine, a vibrational frequency of the vibrations generated by the transducers 116 can be related to an audio frequency of the audio generated by the speakers of the vibro-acoustic system 100. Over a time period of the therapy routine, the audio frequency and / or the vibrational frequency can change, depending on the therapy routine being implemented.

[0156] When the vibro-acoustic system 100 includes a light system and / or a heating system, the instructions executed by the one or more processors of the control system may be further configured to cause the light system to produce light based at least in part on the therapy routine and / or to cause the heating system to produce heat based at least in part on the therapy routine.VTT. Computer Systems

[0157] Figure 12 is a block diagram depicting an implementation of a computer hardware system configured to run software for implementing one or more implementations disclosed herein.

[0158] In some implementations, the systems, processes, and methods described herein are implemented using a computing system, such as the one illustrated in Figure 12. The example computer system 2702 is in communication with one or more computing systems 2720 and / or one or more data sources 2722 via one or more networks 2718. While Figure 12 illustrates an implementation of a computing system 2702, it is recognized that the functionality provided for in the components and modules of computer system 2702 may be combined into fewer components and modules, or further separated into additional components and modules.

[0159] The computer system 2702 can comprise a programming module 2714 that carries out the functions, methods, acts, and / or processes described herein. The programming module 2714 is executed on the computer system 2702 by a central processing unit 2706 discussed further below.

[0160] In general, the word “module,” as used herein, refers to logic embodied in hardware or firmware or to a collection of software instructions, having entry and exit points. Modules are written in a program language, such as JAVA, C or C++, Python, or the like.

For example, the instructions may initially be carried on a magnetic disk or solid state drive of a remote computer. The remote computer may load the instructions and / or modules into its dynamic memory and send the instructions over a telephone, cable, or optical line using a modem. A modem local to a server computing system may receive the data on the telephone / cable / optical line and use a converter device including the appropriate circuitry to place the data on a bus. The bus may carry the data to a memory, from which a processor may retrieve and execute the instructions. The instructions received by the memory may optionally be stored on a storage device (e.g., a solid state drive) either before or after execution by the computer processor.

[0183] The flowchart and block diagrams in the Figures illustrate the architecture, functionality, and operation of possible implementations of systems, methods, and computer program products according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. In this regard, each block in the flowchart or block diagrams may represent a module, segment, or portion of instructions, which comprises one or more executable instructions for implementing the specified logical function(s). In some alternative implementations, the functions noted in the blocks may occur out of the order noted in the Figures.

[0186] As described above, in various embodiments certain functionality may be accessible by a user through a web-based viewer (such as a web browser), or other suitable software program. In such implementations, the user interface may be generated by a server computing system and transmitted to a web browser of the user (e.g., running on the user’s computing system). Alternatively, data (e.g., user interface data) necessary for generating the user interface may be provided by the server computing system to the browser, where the user interface may be generated (e.g.. the user interface data may be executed by a browser accessing a web service and may be configured to render the user interfaces based on the user interface data). The user may then interact with the user interface through the web-browser. User interfaces of certain implementations may be accessible through one or more dedicated software applications. In certain embodiments, one or more of the computing devices and / or systems of the disclosure may include mobile computing devices, and user interfaces may be accessible through such mobile computing devices (for example, smartphones and / or tablets).

[0187] Many variations and modifications may be made to the above-described embodiments, the elements of which are to be understood as being among other acceptable examples. All such modifications and variations are intended to be included herein within the scope of this disclosure. The foregoing description details certain embodiments. It will be appreciated, however, that no matter how detailed the foregoing appears in text, the systems and methods can be practiced in many ways. As is also stated above, it should be noted that the use of particular terminology when describing certain features or aspects of the systems and methods should not be taken to imply that the terminology is being re-defined herein to be restricted to including any specific characteristics of the features or aspects of the systems and methods with which that terminology is associated.

[0188] Conditional language, such as, among others, “can,” “could,” “might.” or “may,” unless specifically stated otherwise, or otherwise understood within the context as used, is generally intended to convey that certain embodiments include, while other embodiments do not include, certain features, elements, and / or steps. Thus, such conditional language is not generally intended to imply that features, elements and / or steps are in any way required for one or more embodiments or that one or more embodiments necessarily include logic for deciding, with or without user input or prompting, whether these features, elements and / or steps are included or are to be performed in any particular embodiment.

[0189] The term “substantially” when used in conjunction with the term “realtime” forms a phrase that will be readily understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art. For example, it is readily understood that such language will include speeds in which no or little delay or waiting is discernible, or where such delay is sufficiently short so as not to be disruptive, irritating, or otherwise vexing to a user.

[0190] Conjunctive language such as the phrase “at least one of X, Y, and Z,” or “at least one of X, Y, or Z,” unless specifically stated otherwise, is to be understood with the context as used in general to convey that an item, term, etc. may be either X, Y, or Z, or a combination thereof. For example, the term “or” is used in its inclusive sense (and not in its exclusive sense) so that when used, for example, to connect a list of elements, the term “or” means one, some, or all of the elements in the list. Thus, such conjunctive language is not generally intended to imply that certain embodiments require at least one of X, at least one of Y, and at least one of Z to each be present.

[0191] The term “a” as used herein should be given an inclusive rather than exclusive interpretation. For example, unless specifically noted, the term “a” should not be understood to mean “exactly one” or “one and only one”; instead, the term “a” means “one or more” or “at least one,” whether used in the claims or elsewhere in the specification and regardless of uses of quantifiers such as “at least one,” “one or more.” or “a plurality” elsewhere in the claims or specification.

[0192] The term “comprising” as used herein should be given an inclusive rather than exclusive interpretation. For example, a general purpose computer comprising one or more processors should not be interpreted as excluding other computer components, and may possibly include such components as memory, input / output devices, and / or network interfaces, among others.

[0193] While the above detailed description has shown, described, and pointed out novel features as applied to various embodiments, it may be understood that various omissions, substitutions, and changes in the form and details of the devices or processes illustrated may be made without departing from the spirit of the disclosure. As may be recognized, certain embodiments of the inventions described herein may be embodied within a form that does not provide all of the features and benefits set forth herein, as some features may be used or practiced separately from others. The scope of certain inventions disclosed herein is indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.IX. Example Clauses
