COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE HEARING AND THE DEAF

描述：(见申请者摘要) 聋人需要与主流听力世界在他们的 就业，作为商品和服务的消费者，以及在他们的社会 互动。虽然这一需求已被普遍认识到，但这方面的技术 这一地区一直缺乏。一期研发已生产出TTY/TDD仿真软件 这将第一次允许标准调制解调器与 Baudot TTY是聋人用的。在第二阶段，这项技术和NXi的 网络技术，将被用来解决聋人或言语障碍的需求 在家中和办公室中与听力沟通都有障碍 环境。听力正常的人将能够方便地呼叫聋人， 或者反之亦然，直接在家里或办公室，并且中继服务将是 根据需要加入呼叫会议。呼叫建立将会更容易，并且 当事人将能够在任何时间交谈或打字来评论或打断领导 更自然的对话。拟议的研发将增加以下方面的软件支持 第一阶段开发的硬件和TTY仿真软件将 移植到‘WinCE’操作系统，生成了一个非常便携的新类 “TTY” 建议的商业应用：不可用

DESCRIPTION: (as per applicant's abstract) The deaf need to communicate with the mainstream hearing world in their employment, as consumers of goods and services, and in their social interactions. While this need has been generally recognized, technology in this area has been lacking. The Phase I R&D has produced TTY/TDD emulation software which will allow, for the first time, standard modems to communicate with the Baudot TTY's used by the deaf. In the Phase II, this technology, and NXi's network technology, will be used to address the needs of the deaf or speech impaired in communicating with the hearing in both a home and office environment. A hearing person will be able to conveniently call a deaf person, or vice versa, at home or office directly and a relay service will be conferenced into the call as needed. Call set up will be easier, and either party will be able to talk or type at any time to comment or interrupt leading to more natural conversations. The proposed R&D will add software support for the hardware developed in the Phase I, and the TTY emulation software will be ported to the 'WinCE' operating system, producing a new class of very portable 'TTY.'
