ROTATABLE PUSH-TO-TALK (PTT) BUTTON FOR TALKGROUP SELECTION AND PTT COMMUNICATION INITIATION

摘要

A push-to-talk (PTT)-enabled communication device with an interface for selecting a talkgroup and initiating a PTT communication with the talkgroup is disclosed. The interface includes a component configured to (1) select the talkgroup in response to the component receiving a first input that causes a rotation of the component, and (2) initiate the PTT communication with the talkgroup in response to the component receiving a second input that is different from the first input. In one example, the interface may comprise a physical PTT button that is rotatable. In another example, the interface may comprise an apparatus with a graphical user interface (GUI) including a PTT-button area that visually rotates.
