Abstract
A method of communicating includes receiving, at a first headset, at least one input from a user. The at least one input is indicative of a request for voice communication with at least one second headset. The method further includes generating, via the first headset, a voice communication channel between the first headset and the at least one second headset upon receiving the at least one input. The method further includes generating, through the voice communication channel, a voice communication session between the first headset and the at least one second headset. The voice communication session allows voice communication between the first headset and the at least one second headset in a full-duplex communication mode.
Claims28
A method of communicating, comprising:
- receiving, at a first headset, at least one input from a user, wherein the at least one input is indicative of a request for voice communication with at least one second headset;
- generating, via the first headset, a voice communication channel between the first headset and the at least one second headset upon receiving the at least one input;
