Patent ID: 8594772

Claim:
A method of communicating an electromagnetic signal associated with Heart Rate Variability (HRV) fields of two or more users collaborating in an on-line environment via respective client nodes over a network via a server node, the method comprising: recording, at client nodes of said two or more users, the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) field of the respective user while participating in the online environment; encoding, at each of two or more user's client node, the recorded Heart Rate Variability (HRV) field as data; transmitting, from each of two or more user's client node, the encoded HRV field data together with a message to the server node; receiving, at said server node, the encoded HRV field data with the respective message from each of the two or more user's client nodes; decoding, at said server node, the encoded HRV field data received from each of the user's client node; summing, at said server node, each decoded HRV field of two or more users currently participating in the online environment and encoding said summed HRV field; transmitting the encoded summed HRV field to each user client node in the collaborative online environment; decoding, at each user client node, the encoded summed HRV field data to obtain a summed HRV field of said two or more users; displaying, at each user client node in the collaborative online environment, the message from said two or more users; and simultaneously broadcasting, at each client node, the decoded summed HRV field of said two or more users as an electromagnetic signal for application to the user at each client node to influence a physical state of each user participating in said collaborative online environment.
