METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UNIDIRECTIONAL SUMMING OF GROUP AUDITORY DATA

摘要

A first group auditory data stream, from a transmitting subscriber device of a first group of subscriber devices or from a dispatch console and intended for the first group of subscriber devices, is received at a conference server. The conference server determines whether the first group auditory data stream generated for the first group of subscriber devices is of interest to a second group of subscriber devices, and if so, sums the first group auditory data stream with a second group auditory data stream intended for the second group of subscriber devices to form a summed group auditory data stream. The conference server then forwards the summed group auditory data stream towards the second group of subscriber devices and forwards the first group auditory data stream towards the first group of subscriber devices.

主权项

1. A method for unidirectional summing of group auditory data, the method comprising:
receiving, at the conference server, a first portion of a first group auditory data stream, from one of a transmitting subscriber device of a first group of subscriber devices and a dispatch console, for the first group of subscriber devices; determining, by the conference server, whether group auditory data generated for the first group of subscriber devices is of interest to a second group of subscriber devices; receiving, at the conference server, a first portion of a second group auditory data stream from a transmitting subscriber device of the second group of subscriber devices; and responsive to determining, by the conference server, that group auditory data generated for the first group of subscriber devices is of interest to the second group of subscriber devices:
forwarding, by the conference server, the first portion of the first group auditory data stream towards the first group of subscriber devices;summing, by the conference server, the first portion of the second group auditory data stream with the first portion of the first group auditory data stream to form a summed group auditory data stream; andforwarding, by the conference server, the summed group auditory data stream towards the second group of subscriber devices.
