    Abstract: A method and apparatus for intelligently alerting individuals within a public-safety communication system is provided herein. During operation a query result is determined to have certain keywords. When this happens, prior conversations of individuals over various talkgroups are analyzed. The query terms and/or the query result are compared to the prior conversations, and a determination is made if any prior conversations are relevant to the query terms and/or the query results. If so, identities are determined for those individuals who were involved in the relevant prior conversations, and a notification of the results of the query are sent to electronic devices associated with the individuals who were involved in the relevant prior conversations.

    Abstract: A device, system and method for causing a notification device to provide an indication of a searched area is provided. A device comprises: controller; and a communication unit configured to communicate with one or more sensors, the one or more sensors configured to track: a path of a user; and one or more of a reach of the user and hand location of the user. The controller receives, from the one or more sensors, via the communication unit, sensor data indicative of the path and one or more of the reach and the hand location of the user at a location. The controller identifies, from the sensor data, an area searched by the user at the location. The controller causes a notification device to provide an indication of the area searched by the user.

    Abstract: A battery-operated communication device for temporary hands-free voice interaction may include a microphone that is configured to receive sound and a processor that is communicatively coupled to the microphone and is configured to receive a first trigger to enable hands-free operation, initiate hands-free operation, receive audio input using the microphone, compare a portion of the audio input to one or more predetermined audio commands, determine whether the portion corresponds to a matching command of the predetermined audio commands, and process the matching command based on a determination that the portion corresponds to the matching command. The first trigger may correspond to a remote user request, an event location, a location condition, or any combination of a remote user request, event location, and location condition.

    Abstract: A device, system and method for causing an output device to provide information for voice command functionality is provided. A controller determines when a received textual term, received at the controller via one or more of an input device and a communications unit, is phonetically similar to one or more existing textual terms used for activating functionality at a communication device using a voice recognition algorithm. When the received textual term, are phonetically similar to one or more existing textual terms, the controller: generates one or more suggested textual terms, related to the received textual term, that minimizes phonetic similarities with the one or more existing textual terms; and causes an output device to provide an indication of the one or more suggested textual terms to use in place of the received textual term.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling an electronic device using a rotary control. The method includes receiving, by an electronic processor from an inductance sensor, a first inductance. The method further includes comparing, by the electronic processor, the first inductance to a first threshold. The method further includes, determining, by the electronic processor, a location for the rotary control when the first inductance exceeds the first threshold, the method further includes activating, by the electronic processor, a control function based on the location. The method further includes receiving, by the electronic processor from the inductance sensor, a second inductance. The method further includes determining, by the electronic processor, a delta based on the first inductance and the second inductance. The method further includes adjusting, by the electronic processor, the control function based on the delta.
