Processes for servicing digital music files linked with activity tempo and regulation pace}

The present invention relates to a method of providing music files of various genres associated with several movement tempos and heights to a service user terminal through a communication network such as the Internet or a mobile communication network.

As a result, the service user of the present invention can exercise happily while listening to various customized music provided in consideration of his height and exercise tempo. As a result, it is possible to experience an increase in exercise motivation while eliminating boredom during exercise.

In addition, an exercise tempo that tends to become irregular with physical changes that are getting tired as the exercise time becomes longer and longer is reproduced through, for example, an MP3 player (hereinafter, including a mobile phone or other device with an MP3 function) or other playback device. The movement itself can be very rhythmic, as it can be adjusted to the tempo of the music. As a result, the service user of the present invention can see a high exercise effect.

Listening to music that can be performed at a certain tempo without strenuous or intense movements, such as walking and running on treadmills, as well as walking and footracing on regular trails, etc. Is generalized.

When listening to music like this, an MP3 player or an audio player such as a small radio or a small cassette player is easy to wear while wearing a simple outfit. However, when listening to music through a small radio, even if the music does not like people who exercise even unilaterally can be provided by the content provider. Thus, listeners who listen to the radio while exercising can turn off the radio when they don't like the music, but they can't change the content itself.

In addition, even when using a small cassette player or MP3 player, users can select and record the music they want to listen to via the devices, but they have to deal with all the work by themselves. have. In addition, since the number of music storage media (e.g., digital music stored on CDs, cassette tapes, computer hard disks, etc.) that an individual possesses may not be so large, the songs that are legally available are available. (Iii) The number is very limited.

In other words, the current digital music can be owned by downloading it in a peer-to-peer (P2P) manner or by paying a certain amount to a paid service provider on a communication network.

However, in the case of downloading digital music through a communication network, a service user may download music files of completely different tempo that do not correspond to the movement he is trying to perform. In addition, even if the service user knows what tempo music is the music to be downloaded, listening to the music while actually exercising may not fit.

Our bodies can enjoy the most natural and lasting enjoyment when they move rhythmically to the tempo or beat of the music, and they can also gain momentum. A good example of this is dance, where walking, jogging, or footracing can be more effective when performed at a musical tempo, such as when dancing, even if the exercise time is longer. You won't feel bored.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and it analyzes and reviews all the genres of music currently on the market, such as our songs and pop music, and among them, the most rhythmical even beat that can be helpful when listening to walking or running. After selecting only the music, if necessary, editing (or arranging) removing or modifying some notes or passages that are inconsistent with the tempo of the movement provides digital music reconstructed for physical exercise such as walking and running. The purpose is to.

Further, the present invention focuses on the fact that the stride length according to height and the exercise tempo according to personal taste are related to the music tempo, so that the service user of the present invention can use a service such as a computer or a mobile phone on a communication network. After accessing the server and entering only simple information such as his height and desired exercise tempo, the service server transmits a list of suitable music files to the terminal based on the input information so that the user can select it. After that, by downloading the music files selected by the service user to the terminal, the purpose is to provide a music file that can maximize the exercise effect when the service user is listening to the downloaded music.
