Abstract
Improved techniques and systems for utilizing a portable electronic device to monitor, process, present and manage data captured by a remote sensor are disclosed. The portable electronic device offers a convenient user interface that can be visual and/or audio based customized to a particular application, user-friendly and/or dynamic. The portable electronic device can pertain to a portable media player and thus also provide media playback.

(canceled)
A method of operating a portable media device including a processor and a memory, comprising:
- establishing, by the processor, communications with a sensor;
- receiving, in the processor, sensor data from the sensor;
- receiving, in the processor, a selection of a media item;
- controlling, in the processor, an output of first audio data associated with the selected media item;
- determining, in the processor, communications have been lost with the sensor;
- in response to the determining communications have been lost with the sensor, generating, in the processor, second audio data including speech;
- mixing, in the processor, the second audio data with the first audio data;
- and
- controlling, in the processor, an output of the mixed audio data including the speech.
