Abstract: An all-in-one embedded audio video communications device used for connecting through a packet-type network, such as the Internet, or a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The device employs a plurality of features that accommodates the needs of the hard of hearing and speech and/or hearing impaired communities. Some of the features include a touchscreen monitor, an internal camera and a flashing light alert system. The device employs a novel GUI which makes navigating through the menus of the device quick and easy. Connectivity to a packet-type network can be realized through an Ethernet connection, an SDIO slot, or other known wireless means. Other connection ports include a USB 2.0 port, an RJ-11 port and A/V In and Out jacks. The device can establish a user profile which facilitates a connection with a Video Relay Service provider or a point-to-point end user who uses sign language as their native language.
