User interface for providing voice communications over a multi-level secure network

摘要

According to one embodiment, a computer system executing a computer program is coupled to multiple secure network domains configured in a multi-level security architecture. The computer program simultaneously establishes a voice connection with a first terminal configured on a first secure network domain and a second terminal configured on a second secure network domain. The computer program may then selectively couple an electroacoustical transducer to the first terminal or the second terminal, and generate an indicator on a user interface indicating the security level of the selected terminal.

主权项

1. A computer program product comprising:
executable code embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the nontransitory computer-readable medium, when operably coupled to a first computer system that is configured to display information on a user interface associated with a first terminal, the computer system coupled to a first secure network domain, enabling the computer system to execute the executable code so as to: establish and monitor a plurality of independent voice sessions, each respective independent voice session comprising a voice connection established between the first terminal and at least one other terminal selected from one or more of a plurality of second terminals on a second secure network domain, the second secure network domain being separate and distinct from the first secure network domain; display on the user interface, for each respective one of the plurality of independent voice sessions, a respective first indicator constructed and arranged to indicate the security level of the respective independent voice session, wherein each respective indicator remains on the user interface as long as the respective independent voice session exists; present on the user interface at least one communication type indicator, the communication type indicator corresponding to at least one communication type selected from left ear, right ear, and speak, wherein the communication type indicator designates on the user interface which type of communication a corresponding second terminal is having with a user of the first terminal, wherein: when the communication type indicator comprises left ear, then the communication type indicator identifies a first corresponding second terminal that is operably coupled to a left earpiece used by the operator of the first terminal; when the communication type indicator comprises right ear, then the communication type indicator identifies a second corresponding second terminal that is operably coupled to a right earpiece used by the operator of the first terminal; and when the communication type indicator comprises speak, then the second indicator identifies one or more third corresponding second terminals that are receiving voice signals generated by the operator of first terminal; present on the user interface, for the at least one communication type indicator, a corresponding security indicator, the corresponding security indicator configured to indicate a security level of the corresponding first, second or third corresponding second terminal that is associated with the communication type indicator; and dynamically modify each respective first indicator, during each respective independent voice session, to correspond to a change in the security level of the respective independent voice session that arises during the respective independent voice session.
