Abstract

The communication system for deaf, hearing impaired, or mute persons comprises a processor control system which makes use of a microphone and speech recognizer to receive and process audio data. The processor also has the ability to process other audio data (e.g. non-speech) to determine whether or not a dangerous situation exists within the environment surrounding the user. The system further comprises a key pad and/or stylus and tablet information input system to accommodate communication from the user to the persons in the surrounding environment and a display capability to transmit the information so acquired by way of a projection apparatus, or other means, in the form of characters and in the language to which the user is accustomed. The system also comprises use of a remote data transceiver electrically connected to the processor to transmit and receive message information from similar devices that are not in the immediate vicinity.
Indicator signals which correspond to dangerous or cautionary situations relating to abnormally loud noises, or readily recognized sound patterns, such as a siren may also be displayed to the user, as may be information related to geographic location, distance to a preset destination, or other personally useful information.
