This distribution method 300 enhances the overall value of a system as it provides the ability to quickly and easily establish devices that operate over a safety link. This can be accomplished for N products and the linkage advantageously occurs in the field—not at a factory. Thus, field replacement concerns are no longer an issue. A new item can be introduced into the safety net, as the safety link can be established to replace a faulty unit. Alternatively, the linkage software can be enabled for specific operation. Thus, in-field upgrades can be achieved without having to alter any of the installed software or and infrastructure based server (such as dispatch and information management center 124 of FIG. 1) can be used to download the linkage software. Both of these approaches to distribution of the linkage software provide for expanded public safety mode of operation through the collaborative operation between the two devices.
1. A method of distributing applications to a plurality of communication devices, comprising:
determining what type of applications currently exist in the plurality of communication devices, the plurality of communication devices being under a user's local control;
determining which features within the plurality of communication devices can be shared;
selecting a feature to be shared among the plurality of communication devices;
uploading a linkage application to the plurality of communication devices responsive to the selection of a feature, to enable sharing of the selected feature between at least two of the plurality of communication devices;
selectively operating the at least two communication devices in an independent mode or in a collaborative mode, wherein the selection of the collaborative mode causes pairing of the plurality of communication devices over the shared link for predetermined usage of the shared feature at a most appropriate device of the at least two communication devices for controlling the shared feature;
when operating in a the collaborative mode, controlling a delivery of public safety information to a the most appropriate communication device of the at least two communication devices, by a safety net application that supports peer to peer sharing of public safety information and status between the at least two communication devices and
wherein when operating in the collaborative mode, user interface elements are not operationally duplicated between the at least two communication devices.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein: of the at least two communication devices, at least a first of the plurality of communication devices comprises a public safety device operating over a narrowband network, and at least a second of the plurality of communication devices comprises a non public safety wireless communication device operating over a broadband network during independent operation; and
both the first and second communication devices operate over a short range network during the sharing mode of operation.
uploading the linkage application to the plurality of communication devices while the plurality of communication devices are in the field, the linkage application enabling sharing of the selected features between the at least two communication devices, such that:
(i) a first of the at least two communication devices controls a second user interface feature of a second of the at least two communication devices; and
(ii) the second communication device controls a first user interface feature of the first communication device.
11. The method of claim 1, wherein the linkage application comprises:
first and second standard applications for standard operation of the plurality of communication devices;
first and second collaborative applications which provide utilization of features and aspects local to each of the plurality of communication devices; and
a collaborative link protocol for managing the first and second collaborative applications when operating in an expanded public safety mode of operation.
a second wireless communication device, wherein the second wireless communication device operates on a different communication system than the first wireless communication device, the first and second wireless communication devices being under a user's local control;
wherein one or more of the first and second wireless communication devices is operable to determine what type of applications currently exist in the first and second wireless communication devices, to determine which features within the first and second wireless communication devices can be shared, and to select a feature to be shared;
wherein each of the first and second wireless communication devices is operable to upload a linkage application to enable sharing of the selected feature, between the first and second wireless communication devices;
wherein each of the first and second wireless communication devices is selectively operable in an independent mode or in a collaborative mode, wherein the selection of the collaborative mode causes pairing of the first and second wireless communication devices over a shared link for predetermined usage of the shared feature at a most appropriate device of the first and second wireless communication devices for controlling the shared feature;
wherein, when operating in a collaborative mode, a safety net application is operable to control a delivery of public safety information to the most appropriate communication device of the first and second wireless communication devices, the safety net application being implemented by one or more of the first and second wireless communication devices and supporting peer to peer sharing of public safety information and status between the first and second wireless communication devices, and
wherein when operating in the collaborative mode, user interface elements are not operationally duplicated between the first and second wireless communication devices.
19. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the linkage application uploads to the first and second wireless communication devices while the first and second wireless communication devices are in the field, the linkage application enabling sharing of the selected features between the first and second wireless communication devices, such that:
(i) the first wireless communication device controls a second user interface feature of the second wireless communication device; and
(ii) the second wireless communication device controls a first user interface feature of the first wireless communication device.
24. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the linkage application comprises:
first and second standard applications for standard operation of the first and second wireless communication devices;
first and second collaborative applications which provide utilization of features and aspects local to each of the first and second wireless communication devices; and
26. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein: the first wireless communication device comprises a public safety device operating over a narrowband network, and the second wireless communication device comprises a non public safety wireless communication device operating over a broadband network during independent operation; and
both the first and second wireless communication devices operate over a short range network during the sharing mode of operation.
