Abstract:
1. A method comprising: associating, by a computing device and for an audio interface, a first sound with first information, the first sound being non-verbal and being characterized by a first plurality of perceptual properties; responsive to determining, by the computing device, at least one relationship between the first information and second information, determining, by the computing device and based at least in part on the at least one relationship, a second plurality of perceptual properties, wherein at least one perceptual property in the second plurality of perceptual properties is included in the first plurality of perceptual properties; defining, by the computing device and based at least in part on the at least one relationship and the at least one perceptual property, a second sound, wherein the second sound is non-verbal and indicates second information; providing, for output in parallel at an audio output device, the first and second sounds, such that the at least one relationship between the first and second information is perceptible in the audio interface based at least in part on the at least one perceptual property shared between the first and second pluralities of perceptual properties; receiving an indication of user input that selects between the first and second information; and performing, based at least in part on the indication of user input, at least one operation corresponding to the at least one of the first or second information.
