Video relay services, communication systems, non-transitory machine-readable storage media, and methods are disclosed herein. A video relay service may include at least one server configured to receive a video stream including sign language content from a video communication device during a real-time communication session. The server may also be configured to automatically translate the sign language content into a verbal language translation during the real-time communication session without assistance of a human sign language interpreter. Further, the server may be configured to transmit the verbal language translation during the real-time communication session.

Performing artificial intelligence sign language translation services in a video relay service environment

Communication systems, methods, and non-transitory machine-readable storage media are disclosed herein. A communication system may include a communication device configured to receive a video stream including sign language content and any content indicators associated with the video stream during a real-time communication session within a single communication device or between a plurality of communication devices. The communication system may also include a translation engine configured to automatically translate the sign language content into word content during the real-time communication session without assistance of a human sign language interpreter. Further, the communication system may be configured to output the word content translation to a communication device during the real-time communication session.

Methods, systems, and machine-readable media for translating sign language content into word content and vice versa

Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for autofocusing cameras in a videophone are disclosed. A videophone system may include a camera having a lens, a lens actuator configured to move the lens, and an image sensor configured to capture images received through the lens. The videophone system may also include a distance sensor configured to determine an object of focus distance between the camera lens and the object of focus. The system includes memory for storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the camera lens to automatically focus on the object of focus. The processor includes a lookup table configured to correlate an object of focus distance determined by the distance sensor with a digital number that can be converted by a digital to analog converter to a power value sufficient to power lens actuator to move the lens to a predetermined focus position. The lookup table is configured to correlate an object of focus distance returned by the distance sensor with a digital number representing a lens position, such that the object of focus falls within a depth of field about a focal plane corresponding to the lens position.

Video relay services, communication systems, and methods are disclosed herein. The video relay service for providing automatic translation services during a real-time communication session. The video relay service comprises at least one server configured to receive a video stream containing sign language content from a video communication device associated with a hearing-impaired user; automatically translate the sign language content into a verbal language translation during the real-time communication session without assistance of a human sign language interpreter; and transmit the verbal language translation to a far-end communication device associated with a hearing-capable user during the real-time communication session.

Video relay service, communication system, and related methods for performing artificial intelligence sign language translation services in a video relay service environment

Systems and methods for visually indicating an occurrence of an incoming call for the hearing impaired are disclosed. A video communication device may be configured to receive an incoming communication to at least two unique identifiers assigned by a video relay service provider. The video communication device can display a unique visual indicator pattern, which may be user-created and user-assigned to the one of the at least two unique identifiers dialed by a caller. The visual indicator pattern may be indicative of the existence an incoming call, the origin of the call, the destination device for the call, the destination ID for the call, or combinations thereof. The video communication device, when receiving an incoming call, may send a wireless notification signal to other communication devices, thereby notifying other devices that a video communication device is receiving an incoming call.

Systems and related methods for visual indication of callee ID information for an incoming communication request in a hearing-impaired environment

Visual assistance systems and related methods are disclosed. A visual assistance system includes a visual assistance service configured to receive and display images from a user device on an electronic display for a live assistant. The visual assistance service is also configured to transmit assistant audio from the live assistant conveying information derived by the live assistant's review of the images. A visual assistance system comprises a user device configured to capture and transmit the images to the visual assistance service. The user device is also configured to receive the assistant audio from the visual assistance service, and reproduce the assistant audio to a user of the user device. The user is registered with the visual assistance service as having at least a minimum level of visual disability. A method of operating the visual assistance system includes receiving the images from, and transmitting the assistant audio to the user device.

High-speed video interfaces, video endpoints, and related methods are disclosed. A high-speed video interface includes a system cable, a remote camera unit, and a main processing unit. The system cable includes one or more twisted pairs. A method includes capturing near-end video images including multi-channel, high-definition video data, serializing the video data, and transmitting the serialized video data to the main processing unit through a single one of the one or more twisted pairs of the system cable with the remote camera unit. The method also includes deserializing the serialized video data with the main processing unit. A video endpoint configured to enable an audibly impaired user to participate in video communication sessions for audibly impaired users includes the high-speed video interface.
