First Claim
1. A method of enabling a push-to-talk (PTT) connection between a first user on a first network and a second user on a second network, the method comprising the acts of:
- receiving and authenticating, by a web application registration server on the first network, login information from the first user;
forwarding, by the web application registration server, the login information to a PTT server; and
assigning, by the web application registration server, a temporary network identity from a pre-allocated pool of network identities to a client of the first user,wherein the second network is a multiple-access network for cellular devices.

Abstract
A method of enabling a push-to-talk (PTT) connection between a first user on a first network and a second user on a second network is provided. According to the method, a web application registration server on the first network receives and authenticates login information from the first user, forwards the login information to a PTT server, and assigns a temporary network identity from a pre-allocated pool of network identities to a client of the first user. After the PTT registration has been authenticated, a PTT call may be conducted between the first user and the second user. The first network may be an internet protocol-based network. The second network is a multiple-access network for cellular devices, such as a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) network or any other wireless network.

13. A method of conducting a push-to-talk (PTT) call between a first user on a first network and a second user on a second network, wherein the first user has logged into a client that registers with a web application registration server on the first network and a temporary network identity has been assigned to the client by the web application registration server, the method comprising the acts of:
-
establishing a PTT connection between the first user and the second user; after a predetermined length of time, determining whether the temporary network identity remains valid; and if the temporary network identity has become invalid, disabling the PTT registration. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
