Abstract: A context-aware voice guidance method is provided that interacts with other voice services of a user device. The voice guidance does not provide audible guidance while the user is making a verbal request to any of the voice-activated services. Instead, the voice guidance transcribes its output on the screen while the verbal requests from the user are received. In some embodiments, the voice guidance only provides a short warning sound to get the user's attention while the user is speaking on a phone call or another voice-activated service is providing audible response to the user's inquires. The voice guidance in some embodiments distinguishes between music that can be ducked and spoken words, for example from an audiobook, that the user wants to pause instead of being skipped. The voice guidance ducks music but pauses spoken words of an audio book in order to provide voice guidance to the user.

Abstract: A method performed in a portable computing device for intelligently performing audio playback, upon connecting with an audio output system. The portable computing device detects that a connection is made with an audio output system. The portable computing device determines a first audio playback application that last played audio and when the first audio playback application last played audio. If the first audio playback application played audio within a specified amount of time in the past, then the portable computing device signals that audio playback be performed from the first audio playback application (through the connection made with the audio output system.) If the first audio playback application did not play audio within the specified amount of time in the past, then the portable computing device determines a second audio playback application that last played audio when the portable computing device was previously connected to the audio output system and signals audio playback from the second audio playback application (through the connection made with the audio output system.) Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract translation: 在与音频输出系统连接时，在便携式计算设备中执行的用于智能地执行音频回放的方法。 便携式计算设备检测到使用音频输出系统进行连接。 便携式计算设备确定最后播放的音频的第一音频回放应用，以及当第一音频回放应用最后播放音频时。 如果第一音频回放应用程序在过去的指定时间内播放音频，则便携式计算设备发出从第一音频回放应用程序（通过与音频输出系统进行的连接）执行音频回放。 音频播放应用程序在过去的指定时间内没有播放音频，则便携式计算设备确定当便携式计算设备先前连接到音频输出系统时最后播放音频的第二音频回放应用程序，并且从 第二音频回放应用程序（通过与音频输出系统进行的连接）。还描述和要求保护其他实施例。
