INTEGRATED PUSH-TO-TALK COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040340 titled 'INTEGRATED PUSH-TO-TALK COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and systems for integrating push-to-talk (PTT) functionality with other functions. This includes a graphical interface provided by a client application, which can display PTT groups and icons for individual users. Users can create PTT group definitions in response to input to the client application. A group control input can initiate PTT transmission from a client device to a group of client devices corresponding to the PTT group. PTT groups can be shared through the client application or via a URL that invokes a private web page. Additionally, the application can provide recording and transcription of PTT communication.

Original Abstract Submitted
example methods and systems provide push-to-talk (ptt) functionality integrated with other functions. the ptt functionality can include a graphical interface provided by a client application. the graphical interface can display ptt groups and/or icons for individual users. users can generate ptt group definitions in response to input to the client application. a group control input can cause ptt transmission from a client device to a group of client devices corresponding to the ptt group. ptt groups can optionally be shared through the client application or via a url that invokes a private web page, and recording and transcription of ptt communication can optionally be provided.
