Publication number: 20230123771Abstract: A method to generate a contact list may include receiving an identifier of a first communication device at a captioning system. The first communication device may be configured to provide first audio data to a second communication device. The second communication device may be configured to receive first text data of the first audio data from the captioning system. The method may further include receiving and storing contact data from each of multiple communication devices at the captioning system. The method may further include selecting the contact data from the multiple communication devices that include the identifier of the first communication device as selected contact data and generating a contact list based on the selected contact data. The method may also include sending the contact list to the first communication device to provide the contact list as contacts for presentation on an electronic display of the first communication device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Shane Roylance, Kenneth Boehme, Pat Nola, Merle L.

Patent number: 9998686Abstract: A method to transcribe a video communication session may include obtaining, at a communication system, a request from a first communication device for a video communication session and determining a currently available second communication device from among multiple second communication devices registered with the communication system. The method may also include establishing the video communication session between the first communication device and the currently available second communication device. After establishing the video communication session, the method may include receiving media data from the currently available second communication devices, the media data including audio data and video data and capturing, at the communication system, the audio data for generation of a transcription of the audio data.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2017Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Sorenson IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Shane Roylance, Kenneth Boehme, Pat Nola, Merle Lamar Walker, III

Patent number: 7746984Abstract: A method and system for call initiation and the establishment of a communication session in a video relay service are described. A called party number of a voice phone is entered into a video phone and a first segment of a communication session is established between the video phone and a Video Relay Service (VRS) system according to a network address of the VRS system stored within the video phone. The called party number is forwarded to the VRS system over the first segment of the communication session. A second segment of the communication session is established between the VRS system and the voice phone without any additional interaction by a user of the video phone using the called party number of the voice phone.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2005Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Sorenson Communications, Inc.Inventors: Pat Nola, Jon Hodson, Michael Drew Flathers, Glenn Daniel Clapp, Edward Franz Armstrong, Theresa R.

Patent number: 7742068Abstract: A method and system for automatic camera configuration, upon establishment of a communication session is described. A number is entered into a video phone and a first segment of a communication session is established between the video phone and a service system. The service system retrieves and stores a current default pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) setting from the video phone camera. The service system transmits the video phone's corresponding camera PTZ preset settings and the video phone configures the camera according to the preset. Upon termination of the communication session, a video relay service (VRS) transmits the default PTZ setting to the video phone and the video phone reconfigures the camera according to the original camera setting.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2005Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Sorenson Communications, Inc.Inventors: Matthew D. Cupal, Glenn Daniel Clapp, Pat Nola
