Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product containing instructions for analyzing audio input to a receiver coupled to an audio player to identify an audio event as one of a plurality of pre-determined audio event types. In response to identifying the audio event, the audio player is caused to adjust an audio output. Adjusting the audio output may include causing the audio player to pause playing audio output or to lower the volume of the audio output. The audio input to the receiver may be recorded. In response to identifying the audio event, the audio player may be caused to replay a recorded portion of the audio input. The recorded portion of the audio input may include a portion recorded prior to identifying the audio event.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor, which is coupled to at least one memory, a microphone, and an audio player, to perform operations comprising:
- analyzing audio input received by the microphone from an external environment of the microphone to determine the audio input corresponds to a unique biometric;
- recording the audio input;
- and
- replaying a recorded portion of the audio input in response to determining that the audio input corresponds to the unique biometric, wherein the recorded portion comprises a preceding portion that was recorded prior to determining the audio input corresponds to the unique biometric;
- and
- lowering a volume of a first audio output of the audio player while simultaneously replaying the recorded portion of the audio input.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed in a processing system comprising a processor coupled to at least one memory, a microphone and an audio player, cause the processing system to:
- analyze audio input received by the microphone from an external environment of the microphone to determine the audio input corresponds to a unique biometric;
- record the audio input;
- and
- replay, by the audio player, a recorded portion of the audio input in response to determining that the audio input corresponds to the unique biometric, wherein the recorded portion comprises a preceding portion that was recorded prior to determining the audio input corresponds to the unique biometric;
- and
- lower a volume of a first audio output of the audio player while simultaneously replaying the recorded portion of the audio input.
