System for generating speech and non-speech audio messages
First Claim
1. An audio information system comprising:
- a storage unit to store a context indicator having non-speech audio to signify a characteristic of a speech content stream;
a combination unit to merge the context indicator with the speech content stream to form an integrated message having the non-speech audio of the context indicator overlapped with speech audio;
an outlet port to output the integrated message; and
a tracking unit to determine user training of the context indicator.

Abstract
An audio information system that may be used to form and convey an audio message having speech overlapped with non-speech audio is provided. The system has components to store a context indicator having non-speech audio to signify a characteristic of a speech content stream, to merge the context indicator with the speech content stream to form an integrated message, and to output the integrated message. The message has overlapping non-speech audio from the context indicator and speech audio. The system also has mechanisms to vary the format of integrated message generated in order to train the user on non-speech cues. In addition, other aspects of the present invention relating to the audio information system receiving content and generating an audio message are described.

18. A computer readable medium having stored therein a plurality of sequences of executable instructions, which, when executed by an audio information system for generating an audio message, cause the system to:
-
store a context indicator having non-speech audio to signify a characteristic of a speech content stream;
merge the context indicator with the speech content stream to form an integrated message having the non-speech audio of the context indicator overlapped with speech audio;
output the integrated message; and
to determine user training on the context indicator. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
