Automated sign language translation during video phone communication
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 without the need for a human interpreter. This sign language content is then transmitted back to the users in real-time, enhancing communication accessibility.
Furthermore, the patent details a method and a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium for implementing these automated translation services. The method involves establishing connections between communication devices, using the AI translation engine to convert audio streams into text and sign language content, and transmitting this content back to the users. Additionally, the system can convert text into a simulated avatar format for further clarity. The machine-readable storage medium contains executable instructions for the server to perform these operations seamlessly, ensuring efficient and accurate translation services during video phone communication sessions. Overall, this patented technology aims to improve communication accessibility and inclusivity for users engaging in real-time video conversations.
