SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN INCOMING AND OUTGOING MESSAGES AND IDENTIFYING CORRESPONDENTS IN A TTY COMMUNICATION

摘要

A method and system are provided that examine incoming and outgoing TTY transmissions to determine an identifier for distinguishing between correspondents in a TT Y call. The system may utilize existing contact information associated with an incoming call to provide context to a user for accepting incoming calls and during conversations and may apply various display settings. For TTY users, the additional context simplifies t he ability to conduct critical reasoning, especially those with cognitive impairments. In particular, a picture from the user's address book is provided to assist in identifying th e caller. The other display settings may include modified font styles, colours, multi-line displ ay etc. to differentiate between incoming and outgoing messages.
