System and method for initiating push-to-talk sessions between outside services and user equipment
First Claim
1. A method of establishing a push-to-talk (PTT) session between a user equipment that is part of a push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) system and an outside service comprising:
- subscribing to an outside service by the user equipment;
for a user initiated request, sending a request to establish the PTT session with the outside service by the user equipment to a service capability server (SCS), the SCS configured to communicate with the outside service;
for an outside service initiated request, sending a request to establish the PTT session with the user equipment by the outside service to the SCS the SCS further configured to communicate with the user equipment;
sending an invitation to initiate the PTT session between the user equipment and the outside service by the SCS to the PoC system; and
establishing the PT session between the user equipment and the outside service by the PoC system.

13. A method of establishing a user initiated push-to-talk (PIT) session between a user equipment that is part of a push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) system and an outside service comprising:
-
requesting the outside service by the user equipment to an outside service application server;
sending a session initiation protocol uniform resource indicator (SIP URI) by a service capability server (SCS) to the user equipment in response to the requesting, wherein the SIP URI is mapped to an identifier utilized by the outside service;
sending a subscription message to indicate readiness to utilize the outside service by the user equipment to the SCS;
sending pre-session data to the SCS by the outside service in response to the SUBSCRIBE message;
sending an invitation message by the SCS to the PoC system in accordance with the pre-session data; and
establishing the PTT session between the user equipment and the outside service by the PoC system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30)

31. A service capability server (SCS) in communication with a push-to-talk network, the SCS configured to establish a push-to-talk (PIT) session with a user equipment, the SCS comprising:
means for subscribing the user equipment with an outside service application server; and
means for initiating the PTT session on the PTT network, wherein in response to a message requesting to establish the PIT session at a predetermined time received by the means for subscribing, the means for subscribing makes a request to the means for initiating to initiate the PTT session, and wherein in response to the request, the means for initiating causes the PIT network to establish the PTT session.- View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
