First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for bridging group calls between two disparate push-to-talk (PTT) systems, the method comprising:
- at a PTT bridging gateway between a first PTT system and a second disparate PTT system;
receiving an invitation to a first client to join a first group call for a first group comprising multiple member clients on the first PTT system, wherein the first client is one of the member clients of the first group;
determining that the first client is mapped to a second group comprising multiple member clients on the second PTT system; and
initiating a second group call to the multiple member clients on the second PTT system.

8. A push-to-talk (PTT) bridging gateway between a first PTT system and a second disparate PTT system, the PTT bridging gateway comprising:
-
a first client; an interface that receives an invitation to the first client to join a first group call for a first group comprising multiple member clients on the first PTT system, wherein the first client is one of the member clients of the first group; and a processor that; determines that the first client is mapped to a second group comprising multiple member clients on the second PTT system; and initiates a second group call to the multiple member clients on the second PTT system.
