  • Patent number: 11233848
    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.

  • Patent number: 10667874
    Abstract: Systems, methods, software and apparatus that enable dynamic audio transducer control include obtaining attribute information relating to multiple communication nodes that are communication node group members. A group management system or other computing system receives attribute information from two or more of the communication nodes and determines settings for one or more audio transducers (e.g., speakers and microphones) in the group's communication nodes based on the attribute information. An audio transducer command is transmitted to or imposed on one or more of the nodes. Attribute information can include node attributes and/or changes to attributes. Audio transducer commands transmitted or otherwise imposed on nodes can include muting and unmuting commands, as well as setting volume levels and other audio settings associated with a node's operation.

  • Patent number: 10425774
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods, and software to manage group communications using distributed end user devices. In one example, a method of operating a communication device to facilitate secure group communications in a distributed communication environment is provided. The method includes establishing a communication channel (140) with an end user device (110), retrieving registration information from the end user device (110) over the communication channel (140), and generating a device configuration request including the registration information. The method further includes sending the device configuration request for delivery to a group management system (130) over a packet-based network (141), and responsive to receiving a particular device configuration, automatically configuring a group communications application executing on the communication device based on one or more parameters contained in the particular device configuration.

  • Patent number: 10270551
    Abstract: In live music performances it is desirable for a mixing console operator to be able to hear the result of all the processing of a single input signal provided by the various processing steps without the other input signals being present. This is achievable by providing a console (10) which processes an input signal independently of other input signals to produce an operator output signal (210), wherein the processing is arranged to be identical to that applied in combination to the same signal as it is processed, in combination with other signals, for the creation of an output mix (180).
