    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a portable media player which improves user control, is miniaturized in size and has longer battery life.
    SOLUTION: A portable media device 100 reproduces media assets, functions as a solid-state drive for storing data, has one or more status indicators, and has a peripheral bus connector 104, a rechargeable battery 110, and one or more input devices 112 on the front and rear surfaces of a housing 102. The portable media device 100 can store media player 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 utilized to restore the state.

    Abstract: Abstract This is directed to processing voice inputs received by an electronic device while prompts are provided. In particular, 5 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. O 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 5 (e.g., and perform an operation associated with the prompt).

    Abstract: Various techniques for adaptively varying audio feedback data on an electronic device 10 are provided. In one embodiment, an audio user interface 38 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 38 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 38 may be configured to vary audio feedback verbosity based upon the contextual importance of a user interface event. Electronic devices 10 implementing the present techniques provide an improved user experience with regard to audio user interfaces.

    Abstract: Various techniques relating to the buffering of a live audio broadcast on an electronic device 10 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 126. 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 128. 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: 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.
