Abstract:
1. A method in a wireless device, the method comprising: outputting music audio from the wireless device in a perceptual foreground; receiving a new telephone call while outputting the music audio from the wireless device in the perceptual foreground; moving the music audio from the perceptual foreground to a perceptual background in response to receiving the new telephone call; generating, in the wireless device, a first combination of the music audio and audio from the new telephone call in response to receiving the new telephone call, wherein the first combination is such that the audio from the new telephone call is in the perceptual foreground and the music audio is in the perceptual background; outputting the first combination from the wireless device while continuing to receive audio from the new telephone call; in response to a user input, moving the music audio output to the perceptual foreground and moving the audio from the new telephone call to the perceptual background to form a second combination; outputting the second combination from the wireless device while continuing to receive audio from the new telephone call; automatically detecting that a user has come off of hold on the new telephone call; and moving the music audio output from the wireless device from the perceptual foreground to a perceptual background after automatically detecting that the user has come off of hold, wherein the method is performed in the wireless device.
