CONTINUOUS AUDIO INTERACTION WITH INTERRUPTIVE AUDIO
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- outputting, by a computing device, continuous audio generated by a first application;
determining to interrupt the outputting generated by the first application based on an interruptive notification associated with a second application;
pausing the outputting continuous audio generated by the first application based on the determining;
outputting interruptive audio generated by the second application during the pausing; and
resuming the outputting continuous audio generated by the first application, the resuming including re-outputting a complete sentence of the continuous audio which was generated by the first application before the pausing and was interrupted by the pausing.

Abstract
According to an example implementation, a method may include playing, by a computing device, first audio generated by a first application, determining that the first audio generated by the first application should be interrupted based on a notification associated with a second application, pausing the first audio generated by the first application, playing interruptive audio generated by the second application during the pausing of the first audio, identifying a portion of the first audio that was previously played before the first audio was paused, and resuming the playing of the first audio so that the portion of the first audio that was previously played is replayed.

13. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory comprising computer executable code that, when executed by the at least one processor, is configured to cause the apparatus to; output continuous audio generated by a first application; determine to interrupt the outputting generated by the first application based on an interruptive notification associated with a second application; pause the outputting continuous audio generated by the first application based on the determining; output interruptive audio generated by the second application during the pausing; and resume the outputting continuous audio generated by the first application, the resuming including re-outputting a complete sentence of the continuous audio which was generated by the first application before the pausing and was interrupted by the pausing. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24)

25. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable code stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, is configured to cause an application executed by the processor to:
-
output continuous audio; receive a temporary interruption message from an operating system executed by the processor; pause the outputting the continuous audio based receiving on the temporary interruption message; receive a resume message from the operating system; and resume outputting the continuous audio based on receiving the resume notification, the resuming including re-outputting a complete sentence of the continuous audio which was output before the pause and was interrupted by the pausing. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32, 42, 43, 44, 45)
