    Abstract: Various techniques for adaptively varying audio feedback data on an electronic device are provided. In one embodiment, an audio user interface implementing certain aspects of the present disclosure may devolve or evolve the verbosity of audio feedback in response to user interface events based at least partially upon the verbosity level of audio feedback provided during previous occurrences of the user interface event. In another embodiment, an audio user interface may be configured to vary the verbosity of audio feedback associated with a navigable list of items based at least partially upon the speed at which a user navigates the list. In a further embodiment, an audio user interface may be configured to vary audio feedback verbosity based upon the contextual importance of a user interface event. Electronic devices implementing the present techniques provide an improved user experience with regard to audio user interfaces.

    Abstract: Improved techniques to partially encrypt media files are disclosed. The encryption serves to cryptographically secure only a portion of the media data within a media file, while the remaining portion of the media data is not cryptographically secured. Although only partial encryption is used, the portion being encrypted serves to substantially disrupt usefulness of other parts of the media file which are not encrypted. In other words, the partial encryption renders the media file substantially unusable by unauthorized users. In one embodiment, the partial encryption is performed by a host device and thereafter the partially encrypted media file is delivered to a client device. The client device, if authorized, can subsequently decrypt the partially encrypted media file and utilize (e.g., play) the media file. However, since the media files are only partially encrypted, the decryption is likewise also only partial, which makes decryption faster and less resource intensive.

    Abstract: An improved portable media device and methods for operating a media device are disclosed. According to one aspect, the portable media device can also function as a solid-state drive for data storage. The form factor of the portable media device can be hand-held or smaller, such that it is highly portable. The portable media device can use one or more status indicators. The portable media device can also include a peripheral bus connector, a rechargeable battery, and one or more input devices. According to another aspect, the portable media device has the capability to store media device status information in persistent memory before powering down. Thereafter, when the portable media device is again powered up, the stored media player status information can be retrieved and utilized. According to still another aspect, the portable media device can form and/or traverse a media asset playlist in an efficient manner.

    Abstract: Various techniques relating to the buffering of a live audio broadcast on an electronic device and the subsequently playback the buffered data are provided. In one embodiment, the playback speed of the buffered data may be increased relative to the actual speed at which the data was originally broadcasted. If the buffered playback (using the increased playback speed) synchronizes or catches up to the live broadcast, the electronic device may disable buffering and output the live stream instead. This decreases processing demands by lowering processing cycles required for buffering (encoding, etc.) and playback of the buffered data (decoding, etc.), thereby reducing power consumption.

    Abstract: This is directed to processing voice inputs received by an electronic device while prompts are provided. In particular, this is directed to providing a sequence of prompts to a user (e.g., voice over prompts) while monitoring for a voice input. When the voice input is received, a characteristic time stamp can be identified for the voice input, and can be compared to periods or windows associated with each of the provided prompts. The electronic device can then determine that the prompt corresponding to a window that includes the characteristic time stamp was the prompt to which the user wished to apply the voice input. The device can process the voice input to extract a user instruction, and apply the instruction to the identified prompt (e.g., and perform an operation associated with the prompt).

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for user-specific noise suppression are provided. For example, when a voice-related feature of an electronic device (10) is in use, the electronic device (10) may receive an audio signal that includes a user voice. Since noise, such as ambient sounds (60), also may be received by the electronic device (10) at this time, the electronic device (10) may suppress such noise in the audio signal. In particular, the electronic device (10) may suppress the noise in the audio signal while substantially preserving the user voice via user-specific noise suppression parameters. These user-specific noise suppression parameters may be based at least in part on a user noise suppression preference or a user voice profile, or a combination thereof.
