A method for managing a communication link in a communication network (100) is provided. The method enables exchange of data between a first communication device (102) and at least one second communication device (104). The method includes providing a continuous actuation button (210) configured to initiate the communication link. Further, the method includes initiating the communication link when a force applied on the continuous actuation button exceeds a first force threshold. Furthermore, the method includes sampling the force applied on the continuous actuation button at periodic time intervals. Moreover, the method includes detecting a release event of the continuous actuation button when the force applied on the continuous actuation button reaches a second force threshold. Moreover, the method includes maintaining the communication link for a predefined period of time after detecting the release event at the continuous actuation button. The communication link is maintained based on the sampled force.
A method for managing a communication link in a communication network to enable exchange of data between a first communication device and at least one second communication device in the communication network, the method comprising the steps of:
A communication device for managing a communication link in a communication network to enable exchange of data between a first communication device and at least one second communication device in the communication network, the communication device comprising:
A continuous actuation button for exchanging data between a first communication device and at least one second communication device in a communication network, the continuous actuation button comprising:
