Video endpoints and related methods for transmitting stored text to other video endpoints

摘要

A video endpoint and related methods are disclosed. A video endpoint includes a control circuit configured to provide a user interface configured to enable a user to communicate with another user of another video endpoint with text during video communications with the other user. The user interface is also configured to enable the user to select from text strings stored in a database. A method of operating the video endpoint includes transmitting data corresponding to a selected one of the text strings stored in the database to the other video endpoint during the video communications responsive to the user selecting the selected one of the text strings. A method of transforming a computing device into a video endpoint includes storing computer-readable instructions directed to performing the functions of the control circuit on one or more servers, and transmitting the computer-readable instructions to the computing device.

主权项

1. A video endpoint, comprising:
video equipment configured to enable an audibly-impaired user to engage in video communication sessions with another user of another video endpoint; and at least one control circuit operably coupled with the video equipment, the at least one control circuit configured to:
provide a user interface to the audibly-impaired user, the user interface configured to:
enable the audibly-impaired user to manage a database of text strings including adding new text strings to the database, removing text strings from the database, or modifying the text strings stored in the database; andenable the audibly-impaired user to select from text strings stored in a database without requiring the audibly-impaired user to input individual characters of the selected text string during an ongoing video communication session with another video endpoint;transmit, in a non-tone-based real-time text (RTT) format, the user-selected text string to the another video endpoint for presentation to the other user during the ongoing video communication session; and access the database as a shared database such that changes made to the text strings stored in the database are available to other video communication devices that are operated by the same audibly-impaired user.
