The adjusting module 113 can further send the adjusted music playlist to the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 can play audio files corresponding to the adjusted music playlist. In at least one embodiment, the adjusting module 113 can determine whether the current music playlist needs to be adjusted by comparing the received dynamic parameters with a corresponding preset value.
When the received dynamic parameters is the played time length, the adjusting module 113 can determine whether the played time length is less than preset time length. When the played time length is less than the preset time length, the adjusting module 113 can delete a played audio file whose played time length is less than the preset time length from the current music playlist. In at least one embodiment, the terminal device 2 has played the deleted audio file. In at least one embodiment, when the played time length is less than 10 seconds, the adjusting module 113 can give “−10” points to the deleted audio files. Similarly, when the played time length is great than 30 seconds, the adjusting module 113 can give “−5” points to the deleted audio files. In at least one embodiment, the adjusting module 113 can generate an updated music playlist when total points of all the deleted audio files are greater than preset points such as 100 points. In other embodiment, when an audio file is deleted from the current music playlist, the adjusting module 113 can further query audio files that are corresponding to the received state parameters and/or the received preferred parameters. The adjusting module 113 can further select one or more audio files from the queried audio files, and add the one or more audio files to the current music playlist.

The adjusting module 113 can further determine the searched audio file to be played next. If there is no audio file matching the physiological parameter can be found from the current music playlist by the adjusting module 113, the adjusting module 113 can select one audio file matching the physiological parameter from the audio files corresponding to the received state parameters and/or the received preferred parameters. The adjusting module 113 can further add the selected audio file to the current music playlist and determine the selected audio file to be played next.
For example, if the received dynamic parameters is the heart rate, the blood pressure value, the temperature value, or the number of walk steps of the user of the terminal device 2, the adjusting module 113 can determine whether the received dynamic parameters is greater than a corresponding first preset value, In at least one embodiment, when the received dynamic parameters (i.e., the heart rate, the blood pressure value, the temperature value, or the number of walk steps of the user of the terminal device 2) is greater than the corresponding first preset value, the adjusting module 113 can determine the user needs to listen an audio file whose rhythm is slow enough to match the received dynamic parameters (In other embodiments, the adjusting module 113 can determine the user needs to listen an audio file whose rhythm is fast enough to match the received dynamic parameters). The adjusting module 113 can determine an audio file corresponding to the current music playlist whose rhythm is slow enough to match the received dynamic parameters to be played next. If there is no audio file whose rhythm is slow enough to match the received dynamic parameters can be found from the current music playlist, the adjusting module 113 can select one audio file whose rhythm is slow enough to match the received dynamic parameters from the audio files corresponding to the received state parameters and/or the received preferred parameters. The adjusting module 113 can add the selected audio file to the current music playlist, and determine the selected audio file be played next. In other embodiments, when the received dynamic parameters (i.e., the heart rate, the blood pressure value, the temperature value, or the number of walk steps of the user of the terminal device 2) is less than the corresponding first preset value, the adjusting module 113 can determine whether the received dynamic parameters is also less than a corresponding second preset value. In at least one embodiment, the corresponding second preset value is less than the corresponding first preset value. When the received dynamic parameters is less than the corresponding second preset value, the adjusting module 113 can determine the user needs to listen an audio file whose rhythm is fast enough to match the received dynamic parameters (In other embodiments, the adjusting module 113 can determine the user needs to listen an audio file whose rhythm is slow enough to match the received dynamic parameters). Similarly, the adjusting module 113 can determine an audio file corresponding to the current music playlist whose rhythm is fast enough to match the received dynamic parameters to be played next. If there is no audio file whose rhythm is fast enough to match the received dynamic parameters can be found from the current music playlist, the adjusting module 113 can select one audio file whose rhythm is fast enough to match the received dynamic parameters from the audio files corresponding to the received state parameters and/or the received preferred parameters. The adjusting module 113 can add the selected audio file to the current music playlist, and determine the selected audio file be played next. Therefore, it makes the dynamic parameters such as the heart rate, the blood pressure value, the temperature value, or the other dynamic parameters such as the number of walk steps of the user of terminal device 2 can be adjusted accordingly.
Similarly, when the received dynamic parameters is the “state right before sleep”, the adjusting module 113 can search an audio file whose rhythm is slow from audio files corresponding to the current music playlist, and determine the searched audio file to be played next. If there is no audio file whose rhythm is slow can be found from the audio files corresponding to the current music playlist by the adjusting module 113, the adjusting module 113 can select one audio file whose rhythm is slow from the audio files corresponding to the received stated state parameters and/or the received preferred parameters. The adjusting module 113 can further add the selected audio file to the current music playlist and determine the selected audio file to be played next. In other embodiments, when the received dynamic parameters is a sleep state, the terminal device 2 can stop playing the audio files corresponding to the current music playlist.
In at least one embodiment, when the received dynamic parameters is parameters of sport, the adjusting module 113 can determine an amount of unfinished sport by comparing the received dynamic parameters and the preset targets of sport. When total time length of all audio files corresponding to the current music playlist that are not played is less than a remaining time length spent on the amount of unfinished sport, the adjusting module 113 can calculate time length difference between the total time length of all the audio files corresponding to the current music playlist that are not played yet and the remaining time length. The adjusting module 113 can select one or more audio files whose time length matching the calculated time difference, from the audio files corresponding to the received state parameters and/or the received preferred parameters. The adjusting module 113 can add the one or more selected audio files to the current music playlist. In at least one embodiment, the one or more audio files whose time length matching the calculated time length difference can be defined to be time length difference between time length of each of the one or more audio files and time length spent on the amount of unfinished sport is less than a predetermined value such as 10 seconds.
When the received dynamic parameters is the target value of consumed calories, the adjusting module 113 can determine whether the current music playlist needs to add audio files, according to the initial time, time when the consumed calories is received from the terminal device 2, the consumed calories, and the target value of consumed calories. For example, the adjusting module 113 can calculate a value of consumed calories per one minute according to the initial time, the time when the consumed calories is received, and the consumed calories. The adjusting module 113 can determine a difference value of calories between the target value of consumed calories and the consumed calories. The adjusting module 113 can further calculate time length for consuming the difference value of calories according to the value of consumed calories per one minute. If the calculated time length is less than or equal to the total time length of all audio files corresponding to the current music playlist that are not played, the adjusting module 113 can keep the current music playlist and not adjust the current music playlist. If the calculated time length is greater than the total time length of all audio files corresponding to the current music playlist that are not played, the adjusting module 113 can calculate a difference value of time length between the total time length of all audio files corresponding to the current music playlist that are not played and the calculated time length. The adjusting module 113 can select an audio file that corresponds to the calculated difference value of time length from the audio files corresponding to the received state parameters and/or the received preferred parameters. The adjusting module 113 can further add the selected audio file to the current music playlist. In at least one embodiment, a difference value of time length between the time length of the selected audio file and the calculated difference value of time length is less than a preset value such as 10 seconds.
In at least one embodiment, when the received dynamic parameter is the current position and the current movement speed value of the terminal device 2, the adjusting module 113 can determine a distance value of the terminal device 2 has travelled, according to the initial position and the current position of the terminal device 2. The adjusting module 113 can further determine whether the current music playlist needs to add audio files according to the distance value of the terminal device 2 has travelled, the current movement speed value of the terminal device 2, and the target value of distance. For example, the adjusting module 113 can determine a difference value of distance between the target value of distance and the distance value of the terminal device 2 has travelled. The adjusting module 113 can calculate time length spent on travelling the difference value of distance. If the calculated time length is less than or equal to the total time length of audio files corresponding to the current music playlist that are not played, the adjusting module 113 can keep the current music playlist, and not adjust the current music playlist.
