Method and apparatus for exchanging voice over data channels in near real time
First Claim
1. A method of transferring voice content from a mobile terminal to a recipient in near real time as the voice content is spoken, comprising:
- capturing segments of the voice content at predetermined intervals;
respectively sending the segments at predetermined intervals as files over a wireless IP-enabled network, the predetermined intervals of the sending step being respectively in near real time with the predetermined intervals of the capturing step;
receiving the files from the network; and
recreating the voice content from the files received in the receiving step.

Abstract
A notification channel based approach is used for near real time data streaming for voice. The notification channel also is used to carry small data payloads. The solution preferably includes three elements. The first element involves taking the voice input from the sender in small, digitized packets. The second element involves taking these time packets of voice data and sending them out in a sequential manner over the notification channel. At the receiving end these packets of voice data are played back through the codec supported by the platform as they are received. The third element lies in the fact that the notifications can be sent to as many recipients as required. This allows the sender to broadcast voice messages to a group of people and to implement a conference.
