A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11848026B2) outlines a video phone system designed to provide automated translation services during real-time video phone communication sessions between multiple users. The system includes a video communication device for the near-end user, a far-end communication device for the far-end user, and a video relay service connecting the two devices. An AI translation engine within a server analyzes audio streams from the devices and automatically translates voice content into sign language during the communication session without the need for a human sign language interpreter. The translated content is then transmitted to at least the near-end user in real-time.

Furthermore, the patent details a method for performing automated translation services using the video relay service and AI translation engine. This method involves establishing connections between communication devices, translating audio streams into sign language content, converting text into a simulated avatar format, and transmitting the translated content to the video communication devices of the call recipients. The patent also includes a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium with processor executable instructions for executing these operations, including the conversion of text into a simulated avatar format for enhanced communication during video phone sessions.
