Club Intimacy: DJ Heart Synchrony Invention

This invention uses wireless technology, such as WiFi, wristbands (disposable) that take the pulse of their bearer, and computer DJ technology which will one day hopefully be invented that can combine pulse data in various ways to music at a dance club.

Upon entering the club, folks would get a wristband heart pulse monitor that would transfer pulse data especially when folks are dancing in order to better synchronize it with other folks pulses and the beats of the club. The computer would be constantly collecting pulse date, specifically via the wrist, which would then transmit that data to a computer for analysis with room for DJ input.

The idea is based upon one of the theories as to why people hold hands, etc, and that is that folks feel connected when holding hands because it causes their pulses to synchronize. At the club one could both turn the pulses of the folks in the club into music, and/or adjust music selected by the DJ to the pulse rates of folks in order to cause pulse synchrony, bringing about an intimate romantic feeling to the people at the club.

Also, pulses could be used in multiples. For instance if one person had a pulse of roughly 100 beats per minute, another person had a roughly of 80, and still another person had a pulse of 120 (maybe they were dancing up a storm), because these numbers are all divisible by 20, 10, 5, etc, aspects of the music could incorporate pulse multiples into beats per minute multiples.

A part of the idea is that the beat of the music is already going to be playing at rhythms relative to the heart (because it is loud music), but instead of relying completely on the DJ, the computer could adjust the music, in order to help a tech savvy DJ, making for what would hopefully be a better party.

This invention was essentially blogged back in 6/3/2012 – The basic ideas were there, but it was psychotic, and needed a redo.

The Future of Car Radio (2nd Update)

My suggestion is to give listeners free individually tailored radio, paid for via advertising.  No longer should one have to change the station if they aren’t getting the radio they specifically want, just to change the station for another station that wasn’t what they specifically wanted either.

The future of radio in cars will be when listeners are allowed to create mixes especially tailed to their taste.  One would be able to say to a voice detection instrument in a car computer radio things like, “That song is good,” “That song is not good,” “I like that artist,” “I like that song, but I am tired of it,” or say “Give me the news headlines at the top of the hour.”  The news comes in many flavors, so one's favorite(s) news company such as FOX, BBC, or NPR could give top of the hour news updates.  News could also be made to interrupt music given the finding of certain alerts.  For example, new news could interrupt your radio with "terrorism" updates, and/or elections updates.  The possibilities are essentially unlimited.  Eventually through artificial intelligence a radio transmission broadcasting unit would play exactly the user’s preferences [or users’ preferences].

Of course there could be preset stations, as is the case already, but for those who desire more; there would be user defined stations, or mixes of different styles from various stations – everything voice activated unless otherwise user specified [What if people are talking in the car?].

Both Sirius XM satellite radio and Pandora don’t maximize their user’s experience.  These businesses are now primitive when we think of what can be done with radio technology.  They do not maximize our radio experience to what I would call ideal.  They are improvements over regular FM reception in car or at home radios.

We are all unique people and many of us have unique tastes.  That is something internet radio stations have capitalized on.  I like internet radio, specifically Pandora, and yet even Pandora is limited.  For example, at this time, none can select to listen to the news on Pandora.  In cars, many of us like to listen to spoken word programs.
