Systems and methods of providing push-to-talk communication techniques in a multimedia conferencing session are provided. For instance, a push-to-talk mode can be implemented in a conferencing session associated with a conferencing system comprising a plurality of endpoints. At least one of the endpoints can be a full duplex endpoint. A request for transmission capabilities can be received from a first endpoint. Transmission capabilities can be granted to the first endpoint based at least in part on one or more floor control parameters associated with the conferencing session. Subsequent to granting transmission capabilities to the first endpoint, audio data can be provided from the first endpoint to at least one endpoint of the plurality of endpoints in the conferencing session.

An information processing apparatus, an information processing system, an information processing method and a non-transitory recording medium. The information processing apparatus detects one or more users using the information processing apparatus and notifies each user of remote service connection destination information required for connecting to a remote service using notification destination information for sending notification to the user associated with each detected user.

The present disclosure is related to technology for a sensor network, machine to machine (M2M) communication, machine type communication (MTC), and Internet of Things (IoT). Provided is a method, performed by a server, of transmitting and receiving data, in which, as a transmission authority request is received from at least one terminal from among a plurality of terminals connected to the server, a number of transmitting terminals previously determined by the server is compared with a maximum number of transmitting terminals allowable by the server, in response to the transmission authority request, and a transmission authority of the at least one terminal is determined based on a result of the comparing. The present disclosure are applicable to intelligent services based on the technology (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security, and safety-related service).

Implementations disclose a notification delivery mechanism for present viewing users. A method includes identifying a notification to be sent to a user having a plurality of user devices; selecting a first user device of the plurality of user devices based on a playback state of the first user device; and upon selecting the first user device, transmitting the notification to the first user device without transmitting the notification to other user devices of the plurality of user devices.

A communications management method, implemented by a system comprising at least one user terminal and a communications management server, the server comprising a memory in which are stored: for each user, an identifier of the user associated with a current status of the user and at least one terminal identifier, and a definition of at least one group of users containing the list of identifiers of the user members of the group, the method comprising a step of establishing a communication between the user terminal and the group, during said step: the terminal sends a communication rule to the server, and the server establishes the communication between the user terminal and a set of terminals of user members of the group, said set being determined based on the communication rule and the current statuses of the user members of the group.

A hardened VoIP system is presented that includes secure push-to-talk voice functionality. Through the addition of encryption, authentication, user filtering, and integration with new and existing LMR systems, a secure voice platform ensures malicious software, unauthorized access and brute force security attacks will not compromise the voice communications of the system. The VoIP system is engineered to ensure graceful system degradation in the event of maintenance activities, natural disasters and failure modes. The hardened VoIP system offers the functions a LMR trunking system while utilizing broadband connections. Private calls, group calls, Emergency Alarms with covert monitoring capability, scanning and priority scanning may be incorporated into the system. The system includes a VoIP controller that serves as a trunking controller, manages available VoIP based conference bridges, and assigns them as needed to the parties involved in each voice call. The system includes multiple fallback methods that may be prioritized based on pre-failure analytics.

This application discloses a server and a data processing method, apparatus, and system. In the method, a first server receives control stream information from a terminal, parses the control stream information, starts a game based on a game ID in the control stream information, and intercepts instruction stream information. An Android stimulator is deployed on the first server. The first server sends the instruction stream information to a second server. The second server is in a graphics processing unit GPU resource pool. The second server selects a target GPU from the GPU resource pool to process the instruction stream information, complete image rendering and encoding, and generate video stream information, and finally the second server sends the video stream information to the terminal. The terminal displays the video stream information to a user.

This application discloses an information processing method, a terminal and a system. The method includes initializing a live broadcasting service between an anchor user and a live viewer; collecting media data; encoding the collected media data to form a live video stream, and sending the live video stream to a live window of the live viewer. The method further includes setting a media information push area based on a live window of the anchor user; loading, to the media information push area, candidate media information pushed to the live viewer; determining to-be-pushed media information selected by the anchor user; and sending the to-be-pushed media information to the media information push area of the live viewer to be displayed.

Embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for providing seamless PTT services to a user. In an embodiment, a push-to-talk (PTT) component provides, to the user, PTT services with a talk group through connectivity to a data channel in a mobile network. A voice monitoring component monitors attributes of data connectivity on the data channel to determine when a voice quality falls below a threshold. When the voice quality is determined to fall below the threshold, a connectivity component requests the user to switch the connectivity to a voice channel. Then, the connectivity component dials a telephone number through the voice channel to access a voice conference bridge that provides the PTT services. To provide the PTT services, the voice conference bridge sets up a routing path to a session initiation protocol (SIP) session for the talk group, and routes voice communication through the SIP session.

A system, device and method for secure message thread communication is provided. The device comprises a communication interface; a display device; and, a controller configured to: generate, at the display device, a plurality of message threads, the plurality of message threads associated with different incident reports; receive multimedia data for transmission in a first message thread of the plurality of message threads; compare the multimedia data with data from the different incident reports; and when an association is determined between the multimedia data and respective data from an incident report associated with a second message thread, of the plurality of message threads: transmit, using the communication interface, the multimedia data in the second message thread, and not the first message thread.
