System with a Heart Rate Adjusting Mechanism
A system for adjusting a heart rate includes an interface for communicating with a heart rate monitor and a speaker. The system also includes a processor and memory. The memory includes programmed instructions to cause the processor to determine a natural heart rate of a user, determine a target rate for the user, and cause a sound to be emitted from the speaker to adjust the natural heart rate to the target heart rate.
1 . A system for adjusting a heart rate of a user, comprising:
a heart rate monitor;
a transducer;
an interface for communicating with the heart rate monitor and the transducer; and
a processor and memory, the memory comprising programmed instructions to cause the processor to:
determine a natural heart rate of the user;
determine a target heart rate for the user; and
cause a vibration to be emitted from the transducer to adjust the natural heart rate to the target heart rate.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the transducer comprises a speaker in communication with the interface.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the vibration comprises a sound.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the target heart rate is configured to assist the user sleep.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the vibration is adjusted over a time period.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the vibration at a beginning of the time period is closer to the natural heart rate and the vibration at an end of the time period is closer to the target heart rate.
7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the vibration is changed incrementally during the time period.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the heart rate monitor is incorporated into a bed.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the transducer is incorporated into a bed.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the vibration is propagated through a medium of the bed.
11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the heart rate monitor is in wireless communication with the processor.
12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the target heart rate is determined based on a percentage reduction of a resting heart rate of the user.
13 . A system for adjusting a heart rate, comprising:
a communication interface;
a heart monitor in communication with the communication interface;
a speaker in communication with the communication interface; and
a processor and memory, the memory comprising programmed instructions to cause the processor to:
determine a natural heart rate of a user;
determine a target heart rate configured to assist the user with sleeping; and
cause a sound to be emitted from the speaker to adjust the natural heart rate to the target heart rate where the sound is adjusted over a time period such that the sound at a beginning of the time period is closer to the natural heart rate and the sound at an end of the time period is closer to the target heart rate.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the sound is changed incrementally during the time period.
15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the heart monitor is incorporated into a bed.
16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the speaker is incorporated into a bed.
17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the sound is propagated through a medium of the bed.
18 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the heart monitor is in wireless communication with the processor.
19 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the target heart rate is determined based on a percentage reduction of a resting heart rate of the user.
20 . A system for adjusting a heart rate, comprising:
a communication interface;
a heart monitor incorporated into a bed and in communication with the communication interface;
a transducer incorporated into the bed and in communication with the communication interface; and
a processor and memory, the memory comprising programmed instructions to cause the processor to:
determine a natural heart rate of a user;
determine a target heart rate configured to assist the user with sleeping; and
cause a vibration to be emitted from the speaker to adjust the natural heart rate to the target heart rate where the vibration is adjusted incrementally over a time period such that the vibration at a beginning of the time period is closer to the natural heart rate and the vibration at an end of the time period is closer to the target heart rate.
