COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE HEARING AND THE DEAF

聋人或言语障碍者通常需要与 听力/语言世界的电话作为他们就业的一部分，在社会 互动，或访问商品或服务。目前，这样 通常通过“中继服务”使对话成为可能。 不幸的是，中继呼叫不方便设置，而且由于只有一个 一个人可能一次说话或打字，这些电话很慢，令人沮丧 对双方来说都是 在一种配置中，所提出的阶段I设备将检测是否存在异常。 聋人或言语障碍者接收的呼叫来自语音呼叫者， TTY、标准调制解调器或传真。当检测到语音呼叫者时， 将自动呼叫第二条电话线，并与 本地中继服务。该设备将支持语音桥接 支持“VCO”和“HCO”，并将允许 听觉/说话人士直接致电失聪/言语障碍人士 而不需要特别的指示。 研发的一个重点是允许任何一方发表评论， 在任何时候打断，这将导致更自然的对话。 到 为此，先进的技术，如数字同时语音和数据， （DSVD）将被采用。 拟定商业应用： 拟议的研发将产生一种电信设备， 适合聋人和/或语言障碍匡威 听/说世界这一产品也将向接力营销 服务建议工作的要素可与标准DSVD一起使用 调制解调器，并将单独销售。

Deaf or speech impaired persons often need to speak to the hearing/speaking world by telephone as part of their employment, in social interactions, or to access goods or services. Presently, such conversations are generally made possible through the "relay services". Unfortunately, relay calls are inconvenient to set up, and since only one person may speak, or type, at a time these calls are slow and frustrating for both parties. The proposed Phase I device, in one configuration, will detect whether a call received by a deaf or speech impaired person is from a voice caller, TTY, standard modem, or fax. When a voice caller is detected the device will automatically call out on a second phone line and create a link with the local relay service. The device will support bridging of voice sounds across the two phone lines to support "VCO" and "HCO", and will allow a hearing/speaking person to call a deaf/speech impaired person directly without the need for special instructions. An emphasis of the R&D will be to allow either party to comment or interrupt at any time which will lead to more natural conversations. To this end, advanced techniques such as digital simultaneous voice and data (DSVD) will be employed. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The proposed R&D will result in a telecommunications device which will be suitable for the deaf and/or speech impaired to converse with the hearing/speaking world. This product will also be marketed to the relay services. Elements of the proposed work can be used with standard DSVD modems and will be marketed separately.
