  • Patent number: 7751432
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a dispatch communication router are provided. The dispatch communication router allows calls between two or more dispatch communication networks which operate using different dispatch communication protocols. The dispatch communication router includes a protocol interworking function, a media control stack and a transcoding function. The dispatch communication router also includes a dispatch technology protocol stack for each different dispatch communication protocol supported by the router. The dispatch technology protocol stack converts dispatch communication signaling of a particular dispatch communication technology into a common protocol. The dispatch technology protocol stack can also convert dispatch communication media into a common dispatch communication media protocol and media format, or a separate transcoder can be provided to perform such conversion.

  • Patent number: 7684818
    Abstract: A dispatch translation server (DTS) translates messages between a first dispatch communication network that uses a first protocol and a second dispatch communication network that uses a second protocol. The messages relate to the setting up of a dispatch communication session, controlling the channel floor of the dispatch communication session, and terminating the dispatch communication session.

  • Publication number: 20070286360
    Abstract: A system and method for context-assisted information retrieval include a communication device, such as a wireless personal communication device, for transmitting screen-context information and voice data associated with a user request to a voice information retrieval server. The voice information retrieval server utilizes the screen-context information to define a grammar set to be used for speech recognition processing of the voice frames; processes the voice frames using the grammar set to identify response information requested by the user; and convert the response information into response voice data and response control data. The server transmits the response voice data and the response control data to the communication device, which generates an audible output using the response voice data and also generates display data using the response control data for display on the communication device.
