Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computing systems are provided for integrating logic services with a group communication service. In an implementation, a method may include receiving a spoken message from a communication node in a communication group and determining that the spoken message relates to a logic service and transferring the spoken message to a voice assistant service with an indication that the spoken message relates to the logic service. The method also includes receiving status information from the logic service indicative of a status of a networked device associated with the logic service. The further method includes sending an audible announcement to the communication nodes in the commutation group expressive of the status of the networked device.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computing systems are provided for bot messaging. In an implementation, a method may include one or more of receiving, by a group messaging service coupled to the internet and a group, a message from a user node of the group. The message includes an address and an identification of the group and the user node. The method further includes determining that the group includes a bot, which includes a software application for performing one or more tasks over the internet. The method also includes identifying that the message address corresponds to the bot and sending, by the group messaging service, the message to the bot.

Abstract: Systems, methods, software and apparatus enable providing supplemental audio content to members of a communication group via a group communication service that manages the multiple member user nodes' transmission and receipt of communications between and among the member user nodes. A request for audio content (e.g., from the communication group or a member user node) causes the group communication service to launch a bot node member to locate and deliver the requested audio content. The audio content can be merged with user node communications (e.g., as transmission packets or as streaming audio content). In some implementations each user node includes a wearable push-to-talk end user device linked to a communication device executing a communication application connected to the group communication service.

In response to determining the bot is a group bot, the method also includes identifying that the message address corresponds to the group bot and sending, by the group messaging service, the message to the group bot.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a group messaging service, a message including recorded audio and a first group identifier, and determining that the group includes a bot. The method also includes determining whether the bot is a user bot responsive to a user node in the group or a group bot responsive to each of the one or more user nodes, selecting a bot voice library to process the recorded audio, sending, by the group messaging service, the recorded audio to the determined user bot or group bot, processing the recorded audio to produce enhanced text, performing, by the determined user bot or group bot, one or more designated actions corresponding to one of the recorded audio and the enhanced text, and sending, by the determined user bot or group bot, an audio reply to the group messaging service.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for intelligent grouping between group communication devices. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, at a remote management platform, a recorded audio message from a first communication device that device includes a cellular networking component capable of connecting the first communication device to a cellular network. The first communication device may have a default grouping with a set of additional communication devices. In some embodiments, the default grouping can be created at a factory when the communication devices are manufactured. In other embodiments, the first communication device and the set of additional communications devices can be automatically paired upon initialization via a local communication network. A linking request can be automatically sent to the remote management platform to create the default grouping (e.g., by creating an entry in a routing table at the remote management platform).

Abstract: A group communication service receives user node communications from and distributes user node communications to members of a communication group. The communication group members comprise a plurality of user nodes. The group communication service then receives an audio transcription request from one or more of the plurality of user nodes. In response to receiving the request, group communication service launches a bot node member of the communication group configured to deliver transcribed content messages to one or more destination services. The group communication system then receives an audio content message from one or more of the plurality of user nodes and delivers a transcribed content message of the audio content message to the one or more destination services over the bot node member of the communication group.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements for a voice communication service to forward communications to a secondary service. In one implementation, a method of operating a group communication service that facilitates voice communications for a group of end user devices includes exchanging voice communications between the group of end user devices, wherein the group of end user devices comprises a first end user device and at least one secondary end user device. The method further provides identifying, in a voice communication from the first end user device, a use of a key phrase and, in response to identifying the key phrase, forwarding at least a portion of the voice communication to a second service.

Abstract: Systems, methods, software and apparatus enable device to device grouping of personal communication nodes include managing a communication node group having communication node members. Attribute information from the communication nodes is provided to a management system that defines communication group membership based on the received attribute information. The management system transmits group membership status notifications to the communication nodes. Membership status controls a node's participation in group communications. Attribute information can include changes (such as dynamic changes) in one or more communication node attributes, such as location, proximity to other communication nodes, speed, etc.

Abstract: A group management system or service creates a multiple triage node groups in response to an event notification. Each triage node group includes user nodes and a triage bot node that assists in collecting patient data and possibly other triage data from messages sent by the user nodes. The triage node groups are dynamically modified and managed based on evaluation of the collected patient and other triage data. Collected patient data can be prioritized by a triage management system and, in some implementations, the triage bot nodes to generate patient transportation and/or treatment instructions and the like. Medical facilities can be notified of the number of patients that might require attention and the nature of their injuries, etc. Each user node can be a two-device node (e.g., a voice unit paired with an intermediate communication device) or a stand-alone device and accesses appropriate communication networks and messaging services.
