  1. SIP Support for Hearing and Speech Impaired Users Arnoud Van Wijk Ericsson Jonathan Rosenberg Dynamicsoft Cathy Gearhart Ericsson Henry Sinnreich WCOM Henning Schulzrinne Columbia U. draft-vanwijk-sipping-deaf-req-00.txt

  2. Hearing Impairment • 10-14% of the population is deaf/hard of hearing • Communication is essential in daily life • Work • Social life • Emergencies (911-112-999 and domestic crisis etc) • Imagine if you could NOT use the phone for 1 day • -> use fax, e-mail, SMS/text pager or your colleague • Imagine this for LIFE!

  3. Motivation • Now is the right time to ensure that IP based communications can be used by ALL people • Ensure full access to future communications infrastructure by Deaf and hearing impaired people • Ensure SIP • offers access to current/legacy services • allows improved services where possible • Create awareness amongst the technical community

  4. Current services/legacy devices • PSTN text telephones (TDD, TTY, textphone) • ISDN video telephones • Closed/open captions for Video (DVD, TV broadcast) • Relay services

  5. Requirements • Automatic use of relay service based on user preferences • Transparent for end user • Caller ID (not SIP Call-ID) should be visible • Support for current legacy & relay devices • Ability to add/remove media streams at any point in the conversation • Same stream to many in a resource-efficient way (broadcasting/multicasting??) See draft-vanwijk-sipping-deaf-req-00.txt for more . . .

  6. Bottom line: • Deaf, hard of hearing as well hearing people should be able to communicate with each other without having to use special telephones. • Just your own IP telephone. • IM (SIMPLE!) • chat • videophone • etc

  7. Plan: • Updated draft • Focus on requirements. • Finish before IETF 52 (dec 2001) • Current SIP flows (to be corrected) moved to second half of draft for now to give an idea how SIP can be used • This WG can develop the architecture and SIP flows when the requirements are finished

  8. Comments? Questions? Offers of help?
