Apparatus and method for push-to-talk call pacing

摘要

A portable communication device is equipped with silent push-to-talk (PTT) call pacing. The portable communication device includes a tactile alert generator, a controller for the tactile alert generator, and a PTT processor in operative communication with the controller for the tactile alert generator. The PTT processor encodes a received PTT call state prompt into a tactile signal, and generates a tactile signal that causes the tactile alert generator to generate a tactile alert indicative of the received PTT call state prompt
