1. A computer-implemented method for communication between a first electronic device and a second electronic device, each of the first and second electronic devices having a processor and a non-transitory memory, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- a) starting and completing a first audio recording at the first electronic device;
b) transmitting a data file having the completed first audio recording from the first electronic device towards the second electronic device; and
c) receiving the data file having the completed first audio recording at the second electronic device;
wherein the second electronic device has an unlocked mode and a locked mode, wherein the locked mode has reduced functionality compared to the unlocked mode and requires user interaction to access the unlocked mode;
d) playing a silent audio sample on the second electronic device in the unlocked mode, continuing to play the silent audio sample on the second electronic device when the second electronic device enters the locked mode, ande) playing the completed first audio recording automatically at the second electronic device instead of or in addition to the silent audio sample in the locked mode when said second electronic device is in the locked mode.

18. A communication system comprising:
-
a first electronic device having a processor and a non-transitory memory; a second electronic device having a processor and a non-transitory memory, wherein the second electronic device has an unlocked mode and a locked mode, wherein the locked mode has reduced functionality compared to the unlocked mode and requires user interaction to access the unlocked mode, and wherein the processors of the first electronic device and the second electronic device are configured to execute instructions on the first electronic device and said second electronic device, respectively, the instructions comprising; a) starting and completing a first audio recording at the first electronic device; b) transmitting a data file having the completed first audio recording from the first electronic device towards the second electronic device; and c) receiving the data file having the completed first audio recording at the second electronic device; wherein the second electronic device has an unlocked mode and a locked mode, wherein the locked mode has reduced functionality compared to the unlocked mode and requires user interaction to access the unlocked mode; d) playing a silent audio sample on the second electronic device in the unlocked mode, continuing to play the silent audio sample on the second electronic device when the second electronic device enters the locked mode, and e) playing the completed first audio recording automatically at the second electronic device instead of or in addition to the silent audio sample when said second electronic device is in the locked mode. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A system for coordinating the transfer of audio data files between first and second electronic computing devices, the system comprising:
-
the first electronic computing device having a processor and a non-transitory memory; the second electronic computing device having a processor, a non-transitory memory, and at least one audio output device, wherein the second electronic device has an unlocked mode and a locked mode, wherein the locked mode has reduced functionality compared to the unlocked mode and requires user interaction to access the unlocked mode; a first audio data file stored on a memory of the first electronic computing device, the first audio data file having a first audio recording; at least one electronic communication network, wherein the first and second electronic computing devices are connectable to one another through the at least one electronic communication network, and wherein the data file having the completed first audio recording is transmitted from the first electronic computing device to the second electronic computing device; and wherein a silent audio sample is played on the second electronic device in the unlocked mode, wherein the silent audio sample is continuously played on the second electronic device when the second electronic device enters the locked mode, and wherein the first audio data file is automatically executed to play the completed first audio recording at the second electronic device instead of or in addition to the silent audio sample when said second electronic device is in the locked mode.
