System for and method of detecting a connection of a text telephone (TTY) device to a mobile phone
First Claim
1. A method of detecting a connection of a text telephony (TTY) device to a communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving a physical connection with a cable coupling a TTY device and a communication device, the TTY device providing text entry and text display and enabling communication on a communication network, the communication device communicating with the communication network and including input/output connection ports;
automatically detecting the physical connection at the communication device; and
communicating a TTY bearer bit to the communication network.

Abstract
A system for and method of detecting a connection of a text telephony (TTY) device to communication device, such as, a mobile telephone. The communication device provides a TTY bearer bit to its communication network upon detecting that a TTY device is connected to it. The connection between the communication device and the TTY device can be made using a smart cable or a connector cable. The detection that a TTY device is connected to the communication device is automatic and does not require the user of the communication device to enter a code or any other input to the communication device.
