Abstract
Various embodiments include a system and method that automatically communicate data using a nonlinear, time-varying voice channel. The system may include one or more sensors, a controller, and a radio transmitter. The one or more sensors may be operable to detect a condition. The controller may be configured to receive an indication of the detected condition from the at least one sensor. The controller may be configured to generate a message including information of the detected condition based on the received indication of the detected condition. The radio transmitter may be configured to wirelessly transmit the generated message on the voice channel.
Claims21
A system configured to automatically communicate data indicative of a detected condition, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor operable to detect a condition;
- a controller configured to:
- receive an indication of the detected condition from the at least one sensor, and
- generate a message comprising information of the detected condition based on the received indication of the detected condition;
- and
- a radio transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit the generated message on a nonlinear, time-varying voice channel.
A push-to-talk communication device configured to automatically communicate data indicative of a detected condition, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor operable to detect a condition;
- a PTT switch configured to assert a push-to-talk signal;
- a controller configured to:
- receive an indication of the detected condition from the at least one sensor, and
- generate a data message comprising information of the detected condition based on the received indication of the detected condition,
- wherein the generated data message is an audible alert that is one or more of played or synthesized by the controller;
- and
- a radio transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit the generated data message and signals responsive to the push-to-talk signal via a nonlinear, time varying voice channel.
A method for automatically communicating data using a nonlinear, time-varying voice channel, the method comprising:
- detecting, by at least one sensor, a condition;
- receiving, by a controller, an indication of the detected condition from the at least one sensor;
- generating, by the controller, a message comprising information of the detected condition based on the received indication of the detected condition;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting, by a radio transmitter, the generated message via a nonlinear, time-varying voice channel.
A method for automatically communicating data indicative of a detected condition via a push-to-talk communication device, the method comprising:
- detecting, by at least one sensor, a condition;
- receiving, by a controller, an indication of the detected condition from the at least one sensor;
- generating, by the controller, a message comprising information of the detected condition based on the received indication of the detected condition, wherein the message is an audible alert that is one or more of played or synthesized by the controller;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting, by a radio transmitter, the generated message via a nonlinear, time-varying voice channel of the push-to-talk device.
