A practical pattern atlas

Listen, pause narration and repeat

Create a bounded listening-and-reflection session.

Design proposal · User validation required
Entry

Selected passage or chapter, edition and recording.

Proposed flow

  1. Configure

    Choose narration, optional ambience and repeat unit; check timing support.

  2. Listen

    Show playback reference independently from reading position.

  3. Pause narration

    Choose music or silence, and manual or visible timed resumption.

  4. Repeat

    Use a finite count or deliberately chosen continuous loop with an explicit gap.

  5. Finish

    Stop all audio or resume once; preserve the listening anchor.

Recovery and alternative routes

Calls, offline media, sleep timers and source changes recheck the session state. No verse timing means a track-level loop, not estimated precision.

What counts as a complete outcome

The session can end without autoplay or a further disclosure.

Decisions within this flow

Engagement facets to specify

Possible situations: Narrative immersion, Contemplation and prayer. These are overlapping task contexts, not fixed user categories.

Specify the chosen purpose, passage unit, pace, participation, social setting, interpretive task, environment and disclosure or teaching responsibility. Use the scenario framework.
