Point-to-Point Ad Hoc Voice Communication - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240237094 titled 'Point-to-Point Ad Hoc Voice Communication
The abstract describes a wireless communication device that enables voice communication between a supported user and a selected remote device supporting another user through a point-to-point wireless ad hoc network link. The device selects a specific remote device, establishes a network link with it, and facilitates voice communication signals between the two devices. The selection process can be based on user interaction with the device, such as specifying the desired remote device through a graphical user interface or issuing an audio command via an audio interface.
- The wireless communication device establishes voice communication between users via a point-to-point wireless ad hoc network link.
- The device selects a remote device, establishes a network link, and facilitates voice communication signals.
- User interaction with the device, including graphical interface interaction or audio commands, can determine the selected remote device.
- The device can include multiple headset devices, allowing for communication between separate users via the ad hoc network link.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in various scenarios where direct voice communication between users is required, such as in emergency situations, remote collaboration, or outdoor activities where traditional communication methods may not be feasible.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for seamless and direct voice communication between users in situations where a traditional network infrastructure is not available or practical.
Benefits: The technology offers a flexible and efficient way for users to establish voice communication links with specific remote devices, enabling real-time communication in diverse environments.
Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable in industries such as public safety, outdoor recreation, event management, and remote team collaboration, where instant and reliable voice communication is essential.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device prioritize and establish a network link with a selected remote device? 2. What are the potential limitations of using ad hoc network links for voice communication in different environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
a wireless communication device establishes voice communication between a supported user and a selected remote device supporting another user via a point-to-point wireless ad hoc network link. the device selects a particular remote device, establishes an ad hoc network link with the selected remote device, and communicates voice communication signals with the selected remote device. selection can be based upon a user interaction with the device which specifies the particular remote device. the user interaction can include interaction with a graphical representation of the particular remote device presented in a graphical user interface. the user interaction can include an audio command received via an audio interface of the device. the device can include one or more headset devices, including a pair of headset devices which can be switched between providing audio signals to a single user to supporting communication between separate users via an ad hoc network link.
