1. An audio system comprising:
- a first wireless earpiece;
a second wireless earpiece; and
a mobile device comprising one or more processors configured to;
wirelessly receive data from the first wireless earpiece;
recognize a user gesture using at least the data received from the first wireless earpiece, wherein the user gesture comprises (i) a contact gesture for contacting at least a portion of the first wireless earpiece, or (ii) a body movement gesture; and
in response to recognizing the user gesture, alter a presentation parameter of audio data played by either the first wireless earpiece or the second wireless earpiece such that presentation parameters of audio data played by the first wireless earpiece differ from presentation parameters of audio data played by the second wireless earpiece;
wherein the audio data played by the first wireless earpiece includes at least a first audio data of a first electronic communication received from a first source device that is different from a second electronic communication received from a second source device and the audio data played by the second wireless earpiece includes at least a second audio data of the second electronic communication.

Abstract
A system for receiving multiple conversations or messages and for playing the multiple conversations or messages with a mobile device and wireless earpieces. The system may determine various presentation parameters based on various characteristics of the received messages and may play the messages such that audio appears at distinguishing locations around the user. The system may change how messages and/or conversations are played in response to recognize a change in the focus of the user based on detected user inputs, such as body movement gestures.

11. A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a processor to perform operations comprising:
-
wirelessly receiving data from first wearable device; recognizing a user gesture using at least the data received from the first wearable device, wherein the user gesture comprises (i) a contact gesture for contacting at least a portion of the first wearable device, or (ii) a body movement gesture; and in response to recognizing the user, altering a presentation parameter of audio data played by either the first wearable device or a second wearable device such that presentation parameters of audio data played by the first wearable device differ from presentation parameters of audio data played by the second wearable device, wherein the audio data played by the first wearable device includes at least a first audio data of a first electronic communication received from a first source device that is different from a second electronic communication received from a second source device and the audio data played by the second wearable device includes at least a second audio data of the second electronic communication. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
