A method for providing a push to talk service

The invention relates to the preamble of claim 1 for providing a push to talk service.

5 Push-to-talk over Cellular (P-type radiotelephone type) cellular service. Push to talk services are described in WO 00/74410 Λ1.

The push to talk service establishes a specific key from the mobile station to the recipient of the connection, which may be, for example, a specific group 10 The voice connection to be established is typically one-way. Speech in a message to be transmitted between the terminal and the network, for example, pi-speech (CS), packet-switched voice (VoIP) or voice messages If the connection method allows, the message may also be stored on a server when available (store-and-forward). Recording can also be done on 15 devices. The push service itself does not provide a mechanism which; knows if the recipient is reachable. If the accessibility hack feature needs to be implemented in other ways (e.g. presence service) One typical mode of operation of a push to talk service is to establish a radiotelephone connection between two mobile stations, usually two users, from two-way or two-way One or a number of * 4 may also be machines, for example, vending machines.The vending machines provide various functions and services corresponding to the information service provided by the earlier] 25 One known as a push to talk service 1 4 Λ 2. US 2003/0053434 AI exemplifies a system that can also provide push-to-talk services over a local area network (WLAN). WO 2004/017651 AI is a half-way system that communicates with the p 5 ida with a radio group. WO 03/00961 combines a push to talk service and a conference call. US 2G discloses core network technology for group calls and push to talk services. Here, the location of group members can be searched for by a spatial data server

In prior art solutions, a particular quick 10 is associated with selecting the address of this service, which is typically a form address. Alternatively, the address may also be a voice-controlled service after the name is joined to the client terminal. Depending on the type of service, the mobile station can provide voice to the service by pressing the push button on the client terminal.

An object of the invention is to further develop the capability of the push service to improve the information value of the services.

The invention is based on the use of hi-location information in a push-to-talk service, whereby the information value of the service can be enhanced by the location-dependent features of the service.
