Synchronizing floor control and media sharing in a half-duplex PTT system
First Claim
1. A method for synchronizing media sharing in a communication group, comprising:
- transmitting, by a wireless telecommunication device, a media file stored on the wireless telecommunication device to a member of the communication group before transmitting a request to start a group call with the member of the communication group;
receiving, on the wireless telecommunication device, a selection of the media file stored on the wireless telecommunication device, wherein the selection of the media file is made by a user of the wireless telecommunication device and after transmitting the media file to the member of the communication group; and
transmitting, by the wireless telecommunication device, a request to start a group call with the member of the communication group or a request to acquire a floor of the group call in response to receiving, on the wireless telecommunication device, the selection of the media file stored on the wireless telecommunication device.
