Inter-Talkgroup Sharing via Hold Touch Input
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Public safety personnel face inefficiencies in sharing information across different talkgroups, requiring lengthy cut-and-paste operations or selecting a destination talkgroup from a menu, which is unacceptable in mission-critical situations.
Innovation Solution
A device and method for inter-talkgroup sharing, where an item from a selected talkgroup can be shared with another talkgroup by holding touch input on a touchscreen display and selecting the destination talkgroup using a talkgroup selector, allowing seamless transfer of items such as text, graphics, and metadata between talkgroups.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If traditional cut-and-paste operation or menu-based share operation is used to share items between talkgroups, then the sharing function is achieved, but the time required for sharing becomes excessively long
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple talkgroups and establishes sharing relationships in advance. When sharing is needed, the user simply selects the destination talkgroup from a pre-established list, eliminating the need for real-time menu navigation and destination selection, thus significantly reducing sharing time while maintaining ease of operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual selection of destination talkgroup from menu is required, then sharing between different talkgroups is enabled, but the operational efficiency decreases in mission-critical situations
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes sharing relationships and configurations for multiple talkgroups before mission-critical operations. During actual operations, users can quickly select from pre-configured destinations, enabling versatile cross-talkgroup sharing while maintaining high information dissemination speed through eliminated menu navigation steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables copying of items between talkgroups through simplified operations. Pre-configured sharing relationships allow users to copy information to multiple destinations simultaneously or sequentially without manual configuration, thus maintaining adaptability while dramatically improving productivity during critical operations.

AI summary
A device system and method for inter-talkgroup sharing is provided. A device comprises: a radio configured to communicate on a plurality of talkgroups; a talkgroup selector; a touchscreen display; and a controller. The controller is configured to: render, at the touchscreen display, an item associated with a first talkgroup, of the plurality of talkgroups; receive, at the touchscreen display, hold touch input at the item; receive, at the talkgroup selector, a selection of a second talkgroup, of the plurality of talkgroups; after the second talkgroup is selected, determine that the hold touch input has ended; and, in response, share, using the radio, the item in the second talkgroup.
