摘要： At least some speakers engaged in an oral discourse are identified (101) and their oral contributions during that oral discourse tracked (102). At least one visual indicator provided (103) during the oral discourse serves to provide data regarding these tracked contributions (such as, but not limited to, an aggregate length of time that one or more of the participants has spoken). These teachings also provide, however, for automatically taking (104) at least one other action, during the oral discourse, as a function, at least in part, of this tracked oral contribution information.

摘要： A communications system for a vehicle having a foot pedal useable to control communications at a user interface in the vehicle. By controlling the user interface at least in part through activation of the foot pedal, communications in the vehicle are made more convenient and less dangerous as the user need not use his hands to operate the communications user interface. The foot pedal may perform a dedicated communications control function, or may be programmable to perform a communications control function of a user's choosing. Several foot pedals may be used, either in conjunction with a single seat, or each associated with a particular seat in the vehicle. Foot pedal communication settings may also be stored within the communications user interface for easy retrieval, and may be retrievable through entry of a user ID, such as may come from a key fob.

摘要： An improved system and procedure for allowing participants within a group conversation on a wireless communication network to at least temporarily break away from a group conversation and hold a side bar conversation. The side bar conversation may comprise several different types, including a public conversation (much like the original group conversation) or may constitute a private conversation (much like a standard phone call) or private text messaging or data exchange. A group conversation user wishing to hold the side bar conversation uses his user interface to alert other group conversation user(s) with whom he would like to hold the side bar conversation. Either the initiating user or the recipient user(s) can recommend the type of side bar conversation to be had using their user interfaces. If the side bar conversation is a voice conversation, the original group conversation can still be audible in the back ground, but can be reduced in volume relative to the side bar conversation or squelched in and out when the side bar conversation is active. If desired, side bar participants can rejoin the original group conversation by selecting such an option from their user interfaces.

摘要翻译： 一种改进的系统和程序，用于允许无线通信网络上的群组对话内的参与者至少暂时脱离群组对话并保持侧栏对话。 侧栏对话可以包括几种不同的类型，包括公共对话（非常类似于原始组对话），或者可以构成私人对话（非常像标准电话）或私人文本消息或数据交换。 希望保持侧栏对话的小组会话用户使用他的用户界面来提醒与他想要进行侧栏对话的其他群组会话用户。 发起用户或收件人用户可以推荐使用其用户界面的侧栏对话的类型。 如果侧栏对话是语音对话，则原始组对话仍然可以在背景中听到，但是当侧栏对话激活时，可以相对于侧栏对话减少体积或者在侧栏对话中被压入和移出。 如果需要，侧栏参与者可以通过从其用户界面中选择这样的选项来重新加入原始组对话。
