Description

Cluster call processing method, device and terminal

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a trunk call processing method, apparatus, and terminal.

Background technique

The trunking communication system is an advanced mobile scheduling system that represents the development direction of a dedicated mobile communication network, one of the communication systems. The trunking communication system has the function of sharing and automatically selecting channels for all users of the system; it is a multi-purpose, high-performance wireless scheduling communication system for sharing resources, sharing costs, sharing channel devices and services. As the digital trunking communication system has the advantages of large system capacity, high frequency utilization, and diverse functions, it has become the mainstream technology in the field of trunking communication. The voice communication of the trunking communication has a remarkable feature, that is, the PTT (Push To Talk) button is used to connect in a push-to-talk manner, and the called party can answer the call without going off-hook, and the connection speed is fast, and the group call and the like are supported. Due to these characteristics of trunking communication, it is widely used in some professional mobile communications fields, such as large enterprises, transportation, taxi dispatching, ports, public safety, fire protection and other departments.

A trunk call supports a single call and a group call. A single call refers to a half-duplex or full-duplex call between a calling party and a called party (ie, one-to-one). The single call can be initiated by an authorized user, or Initiated by an authorized dispatcher. The user can dial the long or short number of the called user and press the PTT button to initiate a single call. The group call refers to a half-duplex call between a calling party and multiple called parties (ie, one-to-many). You can preempt the speech by pressing the PTT button. The group call can be initiated by an authorized user or by an authorized dispatcher. The user who has the group call initiation permission dials the group number and presses the PTT button to initiate the group call. Regardless of whether it is a single call or a group call, as long as there is a need for speech, you must press the PTT button to apply for the right to speak. If you want to talk all the time after the successful call, you must press the PTT button. If you speak for a long time, you can still press the PTT. The key, as you can imagine, the user's hand will feel uncomfortable.

In the related art, an issue that requires the PTT button is always required during a trunk call, and an effective solution has not been proposed.

In view of the above problems in the related art, the main object of an alternative embodiment of the present invention is to provide a method of not having to press the PTT button all the time during a call.

In order to achieve the above object, an optional embodiment of the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

The cluster terminal presses the real PTT button to initiate a call. After the call is successful, a virtual button appears on the cluster call interface. This button is grayed out by default and is invalid by default. Press the virtual key to apply for the right to speak, the virtual key button to light up the virtual key to take effect, and the voice right remains during the virtual key button. When the button is turned on, a call duration setting box is popped up to limit the duration of the call, and the duration is until the right of the call is forcibly released, preventing the long-term occupation of the call right after the virtual button is forgotten to close or the button is invalid. After entering the length of the call, click OK, the pop-up box disappears and you start speaking. Press the virtual button again, the virtual button is grayed out, and the voice is released. The basic operation flow is shown in Figure 5.

The key level of the virtual key is higher than the real PTT key. During the virtual key activation period, pressing the real PTT key is invalid, and the real PTT key only works when the virtual key is invalid.

Take a cluster group as an example to illustrate the specific implementation.

There are 4 terminals in the group: A, B, C, D. Among them, the A terminal only selects one key at a time, the operation steps are as follows:

Step 11: A presses the real PTT button to initiate a cluster call. The AP (terminal hardware part) of the terminal A sends a call setup message to the CP (the software part of the terminal), and the CP determines that the call message is sent to the network side, and the network sends the message to the network side. The call is established on the side, and the right authorization message sent by the network side is received to determine that the call is successful, and A enters the call state;

Step 12: The CP instructs the AP to generate a virtual key on the call interface.

Step 13: The B, C, and D terminals receive the paging sent by the network side and also access the group call. At this time, a virtual key is also generated in the call interfaces of B, C, and D;

Step 14: The A terminal releases the real PTT button for 10 seconds, and the voice is released;

Step 15: The A terminal presses the virtual key to apply for the right to speak;

Step 16: The AP of the A terminal sends a call right application message to the CP. After receiving the request, the CP determines that it is the first call right application and is currently in the idle state of the right to apply for the right to the network. After the application is successful, the CP judges according to the message field. The message sent from the virtual key instructs the AP to brighten the virtual key, and at the same time instructs the AP to pop up the call duration setting box;

Step 17: A sets the call duration to 10 minutes, clicks OK, and A gets the call right to start speaking;

Step 18: After the A call is 8 minutes, click the virtual button, the virtual button is grayed out, and the right of the A terminal is released;

The B terminal presses the virtual key while pressing the real PTT key, and the two keys are used at the same time. The operation flow is shown in Fig. 6. The operation steps are as follows:

Step 21: B press the real PTT button to apply for the right to speak;

Step 22: The CP determines that it is the first call right application message and processes the message in the idle state, and forwards the message to the network side to apply for the call right;

Step 23: Authorize B to speak after the application is successful, B has been talking on the real PTT button for 10s;

Step 24: B presses the virtual button to press the real PTT button to apply for the right to speak;

Step 25: The CP receives the second call right application message, and determines that the message is from the virtual key. If the priority is relatively high, the process is processed. Since the call right has been applied before, the CP does not need to apply again to the network side, and continues to be in the call state. Instructing the AP to set the virtual key to light, and instructing the AP to pop up the call duration setting box;

Step 26: B sets the call duration to be confirmed for 15 minutes, and B obtains the call right to start speaking;

Step 27: B releases the real PTT key to release the call right, and the AP sends a right release message to the CP, and the CP determines that the message is from the real PTT key has a lower priority, and discards the message;

Step 28: After the call is made for 10 minutes, click the virtual button to release the call right.

Step 29: The AP sends a right release message to the CP, and the CP determines that the message is from the virtual key. If the priority is relatively high, the application is released to the network side, and the right of the B terminal is released after the application succeeds.

When the C terminal presses the virtual key and presses the real PTT key, the two keys are used at the same time. The operation flow is shown in Fig. 7. The operation steps are as follows:

Step 31: The C terminal presses the virtual key to apply for the right to speak;

Step 32: After receiving the message, the CP determines that it is the first call right application message and processes the message in the idle state, and applies for the right to the network side;

Step 33: After the application is successful, the CP instructs the AP to set the virtual key to be on, and instructs the AP to pop up the call duration setting box;

Step 34: C sets the call duration to be confirmed for 10 minutes, and C obtains the right to speak and starts speaking;

Step 35: When the virtual key is on, C presses the real PTT button to apply for the right to call, and the CP receives the second call right application message, and judges that the message is from the real PTT button, and the priority is relatively low, and the discard is not processed;

Step 36: C releases the real PTT button to apply for releasing the right to speak, and the CP does not process the same;

Step 37: After calling C for 8 minutes, click the virtual button, the virtual button is grayed out, and the right of the C terminal is released;

The operation steps of the D terminal are as follows:

Step 41: The D terminal presses the virtual key to apply for the right to speak;

Step 42: The virtual key is turned on, and the call duration setting box is popped up;

Step 43: D sets the call duration to be confirmed for 20 minutes, and D obtains the call right to start speaking;

Step 44: After 10 minutes of D call, there is an urgent need to do so to forget to close the virtual key;

Step 45: After 20 minutes, the right of the call is forcibly released, the virtual key is grayed out, and the right of the D terminal is released.
