Abstract:
Disclosed herein are embodiments for an audio responsive electronic device. The audio responsive electronic device includes a data storage having stored therein an intent queue. Intents are stored in the intent queue. The audio responsive electronic device operates by receiving an indication that a user pressed the play/stop button. The audio responsive electronic device retrieves from the intent queue an intent last stored in the queue, wherein the retrieved intent is associated with content previously paused. The audio responsive electronic device also retrieves from the intent queue state information associated with the paused content, and then causes content to be played based on at least the paused content and the state information. In some embodiments, the audio responsive electronic device receives an indication that a user selected tell me something functionality. In response, the audio responsive electronic device determines an identity of the user, determines a location of the identified user, and accesses information relating to the identified user. Based on this information, the audio responsive electronic device retrieves a topic from a topic database, and customizes the retrieved topic for the identified user. Then, the audio responsive electronic device audibly provides the customized topic to the identified user.
