Methods for using a caption device with a mobile device
First Claim
1. A method of facilitating a captioned communication session between a far-end user and a near-end user having a caption device, the method comprising:
- establishing local communication between a caption device and a mobile device in a sync mode, the caption device and the mobile device having different identification numbers for receiving incoming calls;
receiving an incoming call from a far-end device to the mobile device;
automatically routing the incoming call from the mobile device to the near-end communication device;
answering the incoming call at the near-end communication device;
transmitting a far-end voice signal received from the far-end communication device to a remote captioning service;
receiving a text signal from the remote captioning service at the caption device, the text signal comprising a text transcript corresponding to the far-end voice signal; and
displaying the text captions on an electronic display of the caption device.

Abstract
A communication system including a caption device and a mobile device configured to engage in communication with each other. The caption device is configured to receive a text signal originating at a relay service, the text signal corresponding to a far-end voice signal originating at a far-end device. The caption device is configured to display text corresponding to the text signal on a display. The relay service is configured to receive the far-end voice signal, and transmit the text signal to the caption device. The mobile device is configured to receive the far-end voice signal, and transmit the far-end voice signal to the relay service. A method of facilitating a captioned conversation between a far-end user and a near-end user having a caption device includes establishing communication between a caption device and a mobile device, and between the caption device and a relay service.

15. A method of facilitating a captioned communication session, the method comprising:
-
capturing a near-end voice signal for a near-end communication device during a communication session with a far-end communication device, wherein the communication session is assisted by a remote captioning service that provides text captions of at least a far-end voice signal during the communication session; transmitting the near-end voice signal from the near-end communication device to the far-end communication device through a mobile device that is locally coupled with the near-end communication device; receiving the far-end voice signal from the far-end communication device through the mobile communication device to the near-end communication device; transmitting the far-end voice signal directly from the near-end communication device to the remote captioning service; receiving a text signal directly from the remote captioning service to the near-end communication device, the text signal corresponding to text captions of the far-end voice signal generated by the remote captioning service; and displaying the text captions on an electronic display of the near-end communication device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A method of facilitating a captioned communication session, the method comprising:
-
capturing a near-end voice signal for a near-end communication device during a communication session with a far-end communication device, wherein the communication session is assisted by a remote captioning service that provides text captions of at least a far-end voice signal during the communication session; transmitting the near-end voice signal from the near-end communication device to the far-end communication device through a mobile device that is locally coupled with the near-end communication device; receiving the far-end voice signal from the far-end communication device through the mobile communication device to the near-end communication device; transmitting the far-end voice signal from the mobile device to the remote captioning service; receiving a text signal from the remote captioning service to the near-end communication device through the mobile device, the text signal corresponding to text captions of the far-end voice signal generated by the remote captioning service; and displaying the text captions on an electronic display of the near-end communication device. - View Dependent Claims (19)
