Patent ID: 7984440

Claim:
A method of performing tasks using interactive audio comprising: executing a task using an audio interactive interface on a mobile system, wherein said mobile system is a vehicle; detecting one or more task boundaries in the task; receiving an interrupt during task execution, wherein the interrupt comprises vehicle state information; storing task state information, wherein the storing comprises storing information corresponding to one or more partially completed steps of the task if the interrupt does not occur at a task boundary; receiving an indication that task execution is to be resumed; loading the stored task state information; generating one or more audio confirmations specifying one or more completed portions of the task, wherein the audio confirmations are selected based on particular task boundaries proximate to a point in task execution when the interrupt is received; generating a first audio confirmation if the interrupt occurs at a first task boundary; generating a second audio confirmation if the interrupt occurs at a second task boundary; and generating a third audio confirmation if the interrupt occurs between the first task boundary and the second task boundary.
