Abstract

Multiple simultaneous calls are controlled. At least one processor is used to display an interface including indicators corresponding to at least two audio presentation devices. Each interface includes call contextual controls which change according to the state of a call. A swap control swaps an active call between the audio presentation devices corresponding to the indicators.

Claims (26)

1. A method for controlling media data, comprising the steps of:

using at least one processor to perform:

displaying an interface including indicators corresponding to at least two physically independent media presentation devices, the indicators including, for each of the at least two media presentation devices, an active media indicator; and

swapping, by selecting a swap control displayed on the interface, an active media transmission from the first of the at least two media presentation devices to the second of the at least two media presentation devices, the selecting causing the active media indicator of the first of the at least two media presentation devices to turn off and the active media indicator of the second of the at least two media presentation devices to turn on.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interface is provided on a turret device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the active media transmission includes audio data.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the active media transmission includes video data.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the active media transmission includes textual data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the active media transmission includes at least two of: audio data, video data, and textual data.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the active media transmission includes audio data, video data, and textual data.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physically independent media presentation devices are adapted to present audio media.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physically independent media presentation devices are adapted to present video media.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physically independent media presentation devices are adapted to present textual media.

11. A system for controlling media data, comprising:

at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

display an interface including indicators corresponding to at least two physically independent media presentation devices, the indicators including, for each of the at least two media presentation devices, an active media indicator; and

swap, by selecting a swap control displayed on the interface, an active media transmission from the first of the at least two media presentation devices to the second of the at least two media presentation devices, the selecting causing the active media indicator of the first of the at least two media presentation devices to turn off and the active media indicator of the second of the at least two media presentation devices to turn on.

12. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a turret device, wherein the interface is provided on the turret device.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the active media transmission includes audio data.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the active media transmission includes video data.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the active media transmission includes textual data.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the active media transmission includes at least two of: audio data, video data, and textual data.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the active media transmission includes audio data, video data, and textual data.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the physically independent media presentation devices are adapted to present audio media.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the physically independent media presentation devices are adapted to present video media.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the physically independent media presentation devices are adapted to present textual media.
