Patent ID: 10554810

Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are related generally to systems and methods for routing and administering TTY calls on behalf of individuals who may be deaf and/or hearing-impaired and/or speech-impaired. The invention provides for systems and methods which are operable to both streamline the routing of non-TTY calls, which are often mistakenly made to TTY phone numbers, as well as to better administer TTY calls to true TTY callers. In the present invention, TTY calls are routed to an operator, who may be presented with a real-time feed of TTY calls received by themselves and/or by other operators. Further, search functionality and exportation of data from the system provide additional functionality for users. In embodiments of the invention, data associated with this system may be used to allow for more effective management of a TTY system by users and/or system administrators.
