1. A system comprising:
- a first system that receives information from a packet-switching communication network and detects a voice signal in the received information;
a second system that is activated by the voice signal detected by the first system; and
a third system that broadcasts the voice signal received from the activated second system,wherein the second system is activated without using any software,wherein the voice signal is received at a microphone input of the second system, the microphone input being connected to an ear-and-mouth port of the first system,wherein the second system is a component that stands alone from the first system, andwherein an output of the activated second system activates a transmission capability of the third system and transmits the voice signal.

Abstract
A system and method for adding voice capability to an existing computer network having non-voice-ready routers is described. A radio broadcasting base station is connected to a voice activated relay, such that the relay activates or switches to a broadcast mode of the base station when a voice signal is received from the router.

2. A method comprising the steps of
receiving information from a packet-switching communication network using a router; -
detecting a voice signal in the received information using the router; transmitting the voice signal to a voice-activated relay using the router, the voice-activated relay outputting the voice signal to a radio broadcasting system and activating the radio broadcasting system without using any software; and broadcasting the voice signal through the radio broadcasting system, wherein the voice-activated relay is a component that stands alone from the router.

3. A system comprising:
-
a router configured to receive information from a packet-switching communication network, detect a voice signal in the received information and transmit the voice signal to a voice-activated relay; the voice-activated relay configured to receive the voice signal from the router and transmit the voice signal to a radio broadcasting base station, the voice-activated relay configured to activate the radio broadcasting base station without using any software; and the radio broadcasting base station configured to broadcast the voice signal from the voice-activated relay, the radio broadcasting base station normally in a receive state for receiving incoming signals, wherein the voice-activated relay is a component that stands alone from the router. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
