Why?
• Business and personal communications today is
telephone oriented.
• Suppose no telephone communications for 24
hours: only options are fax and email.
• Deaf people, the same as hearing people, do need
to communicate every day: business, personal, family,
etc.
• Deaf people are entitled to the same access to easy
communications that hearing people take for granted.
<draft-gearhart-sip-deaf-req-00.txt>
Why SIP?SIP provides ideal multimedia support: text, voice, video, and combinations of these. Examples:
• Deaf caller using Sign Language (video) to Hearing callee receiving audio interpretation [uses relay service].
• Hearing caller using video and voice to Deaf callee receiving video with text interpretation (captioning) [uses relay service].
• Deaf caller using Sign Language (video) to a Deaf callee receiving Sign Language (video) [no relay service necessary].
<draft-gearhart-sip-deaf-req-00.txt>
Selected Requirements
• Deaf user preferences: send/receive Sign Language;
text with video; text with voice over; other combinations
• Automatic connection to relay service
• Support for relay center list and automatic
forwarding in case of busy/no answer at relay center
• Relay centers can advertise the services available to
Deaf customers: video interpreting, video and text
message service (“answering machine”), etc.
