System and method for sharing media in a group communication among wireless communication devices

摘要

A system, method, and wireless communication device for sharing media in a group communication among a plurality of wireless communications devices, such as among a Push-to-Talk (PTT) group. A wireless communication device that is a member of the communication group can send group-directed media, such as graphics, multimedia and applications, to other members of the communication group, either during a ongoing PTT communication, or independently there from. In one embodiment, a communication computer device stores information on communication groups on the wireless communication network that includes the member wireless communication devices of one or more communication groups, and receives group-directed media from a sending wireless communication device sends the group-directed media either directly to the other member wireless communication devices of the communication group or stores the group-directed media such that the other member devices can access and download the group-directed media.

主权项

1. A communication computer device for sharing media in a group communication among a plurality of wireless communications devices on a wireless communication network, the communication computer device configured to:
communicate with one or more of the plurality of wireless communications devices through the wireless communication network; store information identifying the plurality of wireless communication devices as members of the group communication; receive a group-directed media file from a first wireless communication device identified as a first one of the members of the group communication for delivery to a second wireless communication device identified as a second one of the members of the group communication; send the group-directed media file to the second wireless communication device; selectively send the group-directed media file to a data store; communicate with the data store; and selectively permit a third wireless communications device identified as a third one of the members of the group communication to access the group-directed media file stored at the data store.
