METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING AUDIO SIGNALS IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of managing audio signals within a communication system, comprising:
- receiving an audio signal on two or more independent audio paths within an operating environment;
identifying, by a controller, an audio source ID associated with the audio signal, wherein the audio source ID comprises at least one of;
a talkgroup ID;
an individual ID; and
a channel ID associated with the audio signal; and
mixing the audio signal from the two or more independent audio paths on two or more speakers so that the audio signal is spatially resolved to play out at a single unique perceived location based on the audio source ID.

Abstract
A method and system of managing audio signals within a communication system is provided. An audio signal is received on two or more independent audio paths within an operating environment, such as a vehicular operating environment (106). A controller identifies an audio source ID associated with the audio signal. The audio source ID may be a talkgroup ID, an individual ID, or a channel ID associated with the audio signal. The received audio signal from the independent audio paths is mixed and played out at a spatially separated unique location within the vehicle from other audio signals based on the sound source ID, each sound source ID having a unique location within the vehicle.

8. A method of managing audio signals within a communication system, comprising:
-
receiving different audio signals within the communication system; identifying, by a controller, an audio source ID, the audio source ID comprising one of;
a talkgroup ID or an individual ID, for each different audio signal of the different audio signals;verifying a predetermined speaker assignment, based on the identified talkgroup ID, individual ID, or channel ID for each of the two different received audio signals; assigning each different audio signal to its verified speaker assignment; and playing out each different audio signal at each assigned speaker assignment. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A communication system, comprising:
-
a mobile two-way radio having a plurality of speakers located within a vehicle; a portable two-way radio having a speaker located within the vehicle; a controller of the mobile two-way radio or the portable two-way radio for identifying a sound source ID for a received audio signal generated on independent audio paths, the sound source ID comprising at least one of;
a talkgroup ID, a individual ID, and a channel ID; andthe received audio signal from the independent audio paths being mixed to play out at a spatially separated unique location within the vehicle from other audio signals based on the sound source ID, each sound source ID having a unique location within the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
