  • Pulsed input push-to-talk systems, methods and apparatus
    Patent number: 9398126
    Abstract: A push-to-talk headset can include one or more user-actuatable switches, user-actuatable adjustment devices or the like that are electrically coupled to a pulse generator circuit. Responsive to detected state transitions of the one or more user-actuatable switches, user-actuatable adjustment devices or the like, a number of signals comprising a number of pulses may be communicated to a portable electronic device communicably coupled to the push-to-talk headset. At least a first of these signals having a first number of pulses may be used to place the portable electronic device in a push-to-talk mode. At least a second of these signals having a second number of pulses may be used by the operating system to remove the portable electronic device from the push-to-talk mode.

  • TIP-RING-RING-SLEEVE PUSH-TO-TALK SYSTEM AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20130195283
    Abstract: Push-to-talk audio devices and methods are provided. The audio device can include a tip-ring-ring-sleeve connector having a sleeve, tip, first ring, and second ring that are electrically isolated from each other. A microphone and a push-to-talk switch selectively operable to provide an electrical short across the microphone in a first state and to remove the electrical short from across the microphone in a second state are electrically coupled between the sleeve and the second ring.
