Abstract

Arrangements described herein relate to providing an audio message. A calendar event can be detected. A voice relating to the detected calendar event can be automatically selected. A background sound relating to the detected calendar event can be automatically selected. The audio message can be generated using the automatically selected voice and background sound relating to the calendar event.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 - 20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . A method for providing an audio message, comprising:
 detecting a first calendar event;   automatically selecting a first voice relating to the detected first calendar event;   automatically selecting a first background sound relating to the detected first calendar event; and   generating a first audio message using the automatically selected first voice and first background sound relating to the first calendar event.   
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein detecting the first calendar event comprises:
 receiving an audio message indicator from a calendaring program indicating the first audio message is to be generated.   
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein:
 detecting the first calendar event comprises detecting a time; and   the first voice is selected based, at least in part, on the detected time.   
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein:
 detecting the first calendar event comprises detecting a time; and   the first background sound is selected based, at least in part, on the detected time.   
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising:
 detecting a location;   wherein the selected first voice further relates to the detected location.   
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising:
 detecting a location;   wherein the selected first background sound further relates to the detected location.   
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising:
 detecting at least one biometric parameter of a user;   wherein automatically selecting the first voice relating to the detected first calendar event further comprises:
 selecting the first voice based, at least in part, on the biometric parameter. 
   
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising:
 detecting a second calendar event;   automatically selecting a second voice relating to the detected second calendar event;   automatically selecting a second background sound relating to the detected second calendar event; and   generating a second audio message using the automatically selected second voice and second background sound relating to the second calendar event.   
     
     
         29 . A device for providing an audio message, comprising:
 a processor configured to initiate executable operations comprising:
 detecting a first calendar event; 
 automatically selecting a first voice relating to the detected first calendar event; 
 automatically selecting a first background sound relating to the detected first calendar event; and 
 generating a first audio message using the automatically selected first voice and first background sound relating to the first calendar event. 
   
     
     
         30 . The device of  claim 29 , wherein detecting the first calendar event comprises:
 receiving an audio message indicator from a calendaring program indicating the first audio message is to be generated.   
     
     
         31 . The device of  claim 29 , wherein:
 detecting the first calendar event comprises detecting a time; and   the first voice is selected based, at least in part, on the detected time.   
     
     
         32 . The device of  claim 29 , wherein:
 detecting the first calendar event comprises detecting a time; and   the first background sound is selected based, at least in part, on the detected time.   
     
     
         33 . The device of  claim 29 , wherein the processor further is configured to initiate executable operations comprising:
 detecting a location;   wherein the selected first voice further relates to the detected location.   
     
     
         34 . The device of  claim 29 , wherein the processor further is configured to initiate executable operations comprising:
 detecting a location;   wherein the selected first background sound further relates to the detected location.   
     
     
         35 . The device of  claim 29 , wherein the processor further is configured to initiate executable operations comprising:
 detecting at least one biometric parameter of a user;   wherein automatically selecting the first voice relating to the detected first calendar event further comprises:
 selecting the first voice based, at least in part, on the biometric parameter. 
   
     
     
         36 . The device of  claim 29 , wherein the processor further is configured to initiate executable operations comprising:
 detecting a second calendar event;   automatically selecting a second voice relating to the detected second calendar event;   automatically selecting a second background sound relating to the detected second calendar event; and   generating a second audio message using the automatically selected second voice and second background sound relating to the second calendar event.   
     
     
         37 . A machine readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections comprising program code, the program code executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
 detecting a first calendar event;   automatically selecting a first voice relating to the detected first calendar event;   automatically selecting a first background sound relating to the detected first calendar event; and   generating a first audio message using the automatically selected first voice and first background sound relating to the first calendar event.   
     
     
         38 . The machine readable storage of  claim 37 , wherein detecting the first calendar event comprises:
 receiving an audio message indicator from a calendaring program indicating the first audio message is to be generated.   
     
     
         39 . The machine readable storage of  claim 37 , wherein:
 detecting the first calendar event comprises detecting a time; and   at least one audio signal selected from a group consisting of the first voice and the first background sound is selected based, at least in part, on the detected time.   
     
     
         40 . The machine readable storage of  claim 37 , the method further comprising:
 detecting a location;   wherein at least one audio signal selected from a group consisting of the first voice and the first background sound relates to the detected location.
