VIDEO MANAGEMENT DEFINED EMBEDDED VOICE COMMUNICATION GROUPS

摘要

Embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product that enable Push to Talk (PTT) communication within a video management software (VMS) system using embedded PTT controls. An embodiment operates by monitoring a plurality of video feeds using a VMS graphics user interface (GUI) where each video feed is a component of an interactive multimedia media object (IMMO) displayed in the VMS GUI. A talk group is logically associated with a video feed from the plurality of video feeds by coupling the talk group to an embedded PTT control component of the IMMO containing the video feed. Upon detecting that the embedded PTT control component corresponding to the video feed is activated, PTT communications is enabled between each member of the talk group regarding content displayed by the video feed.

主权项

1. A method for enabling Push To Talk (PTT) two-way communication regarding video feeds managed within a video management system using embedded PTT controls, comprising:
monitoring a plurality of video feeds using a video management software (VMS) graphics user interface (GUI), wherein each video feed is provided by a corresponding video camera, and wherein each video feed is a video feed component of a corresponding interactive multimedia media object (IMMO) displayed in the VMS GUI; logically associating a talk group with a video feed from the plurality of video feeds by coupling the talk group to an embedded Push To Talk (PTT) control component of the IMMO; detecting that the embedded PTT control component corresponding to the video feed is activated; and enabling PTT communications with each member of the talk group regarding content displayed by the video feed.
