PUSH-TO-TALK EVENT FOR TRIGGERING OF MOBILE STATION LOCATION BASED SERVICE APPLICATIONS

摘要

The wireless communication device (10) described herein includes a processor (18) configured to detect a push-to-talk event and trigger a location operation responsive to the push-to-talk event. According to one exemplary embodiment, the processor (18) determines a location of the wireless communication device (10) and/or one or more remote wireless communication devices when the processor (18) detects a floor control event. According to another exemplary embodiment, the processor (18) determines a location of the wireless communication device (10) and/or one or more remote wireless communication devices when the processor (18) detects a session entrance event. As a result, a user may advantageously use location information about the wireless communication device (10) and/or a remote wireless communication device to facilitate push-to-talk communications.
