Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computing systems are provided for integrating logic services with a group communication service. In an implementation, a method may include receiving a spoken message from a communication node in a communication group and determining that the spoken message relates to a logic service and transferring the spoken message to a voice assistant service with an indication that the spoken message relates to the logic service. The method also includes receiving status information from the logic service indicative of a status of a networked device associated with the logic service. The further method includes sending an audible announcement to the communication nodes in the commutation group expressive of the status of the networked device.

Abstract: Secure data transfers between communication nodes is performed using a group encryption key supplied by a remote management system. A first node transmits a request for secure communications with a second node to the remote management system using a control channel. The remote management system generates and encrypts a group encryption key usable by the first and second nodes and forwards the encrypted group encryption key to the first and second nodes using one or more control channels. The first and second communication nodes decrypt the group encryption key and use it to encrypt data transmitted between the nodes using a data transport network. In some implementations the securely communicating nodes may use encryption keys and/or techniques that prevent the remote management system from eavesdropping on the nodes' communications.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a group messaging service, a message including recorded audio and a first group identifier, and determining that the group includes a bot. The method also includes determining whether the bot is a user bot responsive to a user node in the group or a group bot responsive to each of the one or more user nodes, selecting a bot voice library to process the recorded audio, sending, by the group messaging service, the recorded audio to the determined user bot or group bot, processing the recorded audio to produce enhanced text, performing, by the determined user bot or group bot, one or more designated actions corresponding to one of the recorded audio and the enhanced text, and sending, by the determined user bot or group bot, an audio reply to the group messaging service.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computing systems are provided for bot messaging. In an implementation, a method may include one or more of receiving, by a group messaging service coupled to the internet and a group, a message from a user node of the group. The message includes an address and an identification of the group and the user node. The method further includes determining that the group includes a bot, which includes a software application for performing one or more tasks over the internet. The method also includes identifying that the message address corresponds to the bot and sending, by the group messaging service, the message to the bot.

Abstract: Systems, methods, software and apparatus enable communication group discovery and formation that includes operating a group communication service that is linked to communication nodes and that receives a communication group formation request from a requesting node. The group communication service transmits discovery data that is provided to a relevant group of the communication nodes, such as those within a selected range of the request node. Other nodes that wish to form a communication group send election responses to the group communication service, which then establishes the communication group. In some implementations the requesting node transmits the discovery data received from the group communication service to other communication nodes using low-energy transmissions. In some implementations the group communication service transmits the discovery data to local communication nodes located within a proximity range of the requesting node.

Abstract: Upon detection of a failure of a communication link between a remote management system and a communication node, a bypass link is established. The remote management system evaluates whether additional communication nodes can act as a bypass for management communications between the remote management system and the communication node whose management communication link has failed. The remote management system instructs a selected bypass communication node to establish the bypass management communication link between the bypass node and the disconnected node whose management communication link has failed. Depending on the relationship between nodes, management communications sent using the bypass link may be secured. The bypass link in some implementations may include multiple bypass communication nodes linked together to provide a chain of bypass management communication links between the remote management system and the disconnected communication node.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus and software enable intelligent agent features for user nodes that are members of a communication group. Instructions instantiate an intelligent agent node as a member of the communication group. Each intelligent agent node can be instantiated by a communication group management system, an intelligent agent system and/or by one or more of the communication group members, for example by executing software on one or more computing systems or devices. A variety of services and other assistance can be provided by intelligent agent member nodes, including recording communications, auditing communications, providing audio transcription, annotating media, and paging communication devices, including communication nodes that are not members of the communication group. Communications between personal communication nodes and any intelligent agents can be secure.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods, and software to manage group communications using distributed end user devices. In one example, a method of operating a communication device to facilitate secure group communications in a distributed communication environment is provided. The method includes establishing a communication channel (140) with an end user device (110), retrieving registration information from the end user device (110) over the communication channel (140), and generating a device configuration request including the registration information. The method further includes sending the device configuration request for delivery to a group management system (130) over a packet-based network (141), and responsive to receiving a particular device configuration, automatically configuring a group communications application executing on the communication device based on one or more parameters contained in the particular device configuration. The particular device configuration is selected by the group management system based on the registration information.

Abstract: Systems, methods, software and apparatus enable linking of a wearable end user communication device (EUD) to an intermediate communication device (ICD) utilizing optical symbol sequence matching. Optical symbol reference data corresponding to an optical symbol sequence displayed on the EUD is obtained from the EUD by the ICD. Optical symbol input data is also acquired by the ICD (e.g., via user inputs, EUD device proximity data, image acquisition). The devices are linked if the optical symbol reference data and optical symbol input data match. The optical symbol reference data can be displayed, allowing user confirmation of a match with the optical symbol sequence displayed on the EUD. An ICD user interface touchscreen can present users with selectable color inputs to replicate the optical symbol sequence displayed on the EUD, for example using an LED array. Communications between the devices before and after linking can utilize Bluetooth low energy.
