Abstract: Methods and apparatus organize a plurality of haptic output variations into a cohesive semantic framework that uses various information about the alert condition and trigger, application context, and other conditions to provide a system of haptic outputs that share characteristics between related events. In some embodiments, an event class or application class provides the basis for a corresponding haptic output. In some embodiments, whether an alert-salience setting is on provides the basis for adding an increased salience haptic output to the standard haptic output for the alert. In some embodiments, consistent haptics provide for branding of the associated application class, application, and/or context.

Abstract: While outputting audio content, a wearable audio output device detects a gesture performed by a hand of a user of the wearable audio output device. In response to detecting the gesture, the wearable audio output device performs a first operation corresponding to the gesture in accordance with a determination that the gesture is detected within a respective distance of a side of the user's head and is a first type of hand gesture determined based at least in part on a shape of the hand during performance of the gesture. In response to detecting the gesture, the wearable audio output device forgoes performing the first operation in accordance with a determination that the gesture is not the first type of hand gesture determined based at least in part on a shape of the hand during performance of the gesture.

Abstract: A headset can include left and right ear-worn speakers and a control. In response to a control input of the control, the ear-worn speakers can be driven with driver signals that include a control sound having a virtual location determined by spatial auditory cues. The control sound can indicate a behavior of the control as a result of the control input. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A wearable audio output device includes a first portion configured to be inserted in a user's ear and a second portion that extends from the first portion and includes one or more input devices. The wearable audio output device detects an input via the one or more input devices. In response to detecting the input, and in accordance with a determination that the input is a swipe gesture along the second portion of the wearable audio output device, the wearable audio output device adjusts an output volume for the wearable audio output device based on movement of the swipe gesture along the second portion of the wearable audio output device.

Abstract: An electronic device, in response to detecting occurrence of a first condition at the device, generates a first alert that corresponds to a respective application in a first class of applications, the first alert including: a first haptic component and a first audio component composed from an audio waveform that is designated for use by the respective application in the first class of applications. In response to detecting occurrence of a second condition at the device, the device generates a second alert that corresponds to a respective application in a second class of applications different from the first class of applications, the second alert including: a second haptic component and a second audio component composed from an audio waveform that is designated for use by applications in the second class of applications.

Abstract: A wearable audio output device is in a respective physical environment and in communication with an electronic device. While one or more audio properties of the respective physical environment satisfy first audio criteria, the wearable audio output device provides audio output corresponding to the first audio criteria, the audio output including: audio corresponding to audio content from the electronic device at a first device-content audio level; and audio corresponding to ambient sound from the respective physical environment at a first ambient-sound audio level. The wearable audio output device detects a change in the one or more audio properties of the respective physical environment, and in response to detecting the change in the one or more audio properties of the respective physical environment, provides audio corresponding to ambient sound from the respective physical environment at a second ambient-sound audio level that is different from the first ambient-sound audio level.

Abstract: A device detects a first press input followed by a second press input on the button. The device provides a first non-visual output in response to the first press input and before the second press input. Depending on the amount of time lag between the first press input and the second press input, the device provides either a second non-visual output in conjunction with performing a first operation or a third non-visual output in conjunction with performing a second operation, where the second non-visual output and the third non-visual output have different output profiles.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for providing an output for an electronic device. In certain embodiments, an alert is output in accordance with a current alert mode, which are selected based on one or more environmental conditions. The environmental conditions may be detected using one or more environmental sensors. The alert can optionally include one or more of: an audio component, a haptic component and a visual component. One or more of alert components correspond to an aspect of the environmental condition detected by the one or more environmental sensors.
