  • Patent number: 10542432
    Abstract: A system includes an electronic device comprising: a processor; an exercise tracker stored on a tangible memory, the exercise tracker configured to analyze an exercise routine of the user and to identify at least one drag portion of the exercise routine, the drag portion of the exercise routine corresponding to an increased exertion from the user; and a song manager stored on the tangible memory, the song manager configured to instruct a music player to play a power song associated with the user such that the power song is played for the user for at least a portion of a time the user spends in the drag portion of the exercise routine. The power song is correlated with increased exertion from the user. Without playing the power song, the drag portion of the exercise routine corresponds to a reduced exertion as compared to the increased exertion.

  • Patent number: 9961544
    Abstract: The disclosure includes a system including media assets and an access system. The media assets include standard media and restricted media. The restricted media is different from the standard media. The access system receives an accessory identifier from a client device communicatively coupled to an accessory associated with the accessory identifier. The access system further authorizes access for the client device to the restricted media based at least in part on the accessory identifier. The standard media is accessible to the client device regardless of the access system receiving the accessory identifier. The restricted media is not accessible to the client device when the access system has not received the accessory identifier.
