Dynamic Playlist Energy Control for Mood-Based Audio Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for controlling audio playback, such as music, at social gatherings are inadequate for dynamically adjusting the energy level based on user preferences or mood, leading to suboptimal entertainment experiences.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device and method that allow users to dynamically control the energy level of a playlist by receiving requests to adjust the tempo, sending instructions to a computer server to generate a proposed playlist, and displaying a visual queue of selectable audio items, enabling real-time adjustments based on selected mood options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing solutions for controlling audio playback are used, then basic playback functionality is provided, but dynamic adjustment of energy level based on user preferences or mood is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the energy level of audio playback by allowing users to modify the playlist in real-time based on their current mood or preferences. The energy level parameter can be changed during playback, enabling the system to adapt to varying user needs throughout the social gathering event.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the energy level parameter of the audio playback system by allowing users to select different energy levels (e.g., low, medium, high) which directly affects the tempo and composition of the playlist. This parameter change enables dynamic control over the entertainment experience without requiring complete system reconfiguration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed playlist is used, then simple playback is achieved, but real-time adjustments based on mood options are not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares multiple pre-defined mood options (e.g., relaxed, party, workout) with associated energy levels and playlist configurations in advance. When a user selects a mood option, the system quickly switches to the corresponding pre-prepared configuration, enabling real-time adjustment without requiring complex on-the-fly playlist generation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic control of energy level is implemented, then entertainment experience is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is designed to handle multiple functions through a unified interface: selecting mood options, adjusting energy levels, and modifying playlists are all achieved through the same control mechanism. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate control systems for each feature, thereby limiting the increase in overall system complexity.

AI summary
This disclosure concerns the playback of audio content, e.g. in the form of music. More particularly, the disclosure concerns the playback of streamed audio. In one example embodiment, there is a method of operating an electronic device for dynamically controlling a playlist including one or several audio items. A request to adjust an energy level (e.g. a tempo) associated with the playlist is received. In response to receiving this request, the playlist is adjusted in accordance with the requested energy level (e.g., the tempo).
