SILENT RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A method and apparatus for providing silent communications allows for a radio user to transmit preprogrammed audio messages to a calling unit. A wireless communication device (100) includes a receiver (102) for receiving a call from a calling unit and a transmitter (120). A user control (204-206) coupled to the transmitter (120) when activated causes a preprogrammed audio message to be transmitted to the calling unit in order to establish a silent communication conversation with the calling unit, further preprogrammed audio messages can be transmitted in order to continue the silent conversation by activating the user control or a second user control.
