The present invention relates to a method for automatically converting data of a wired / wireless telephone. In particular, voice and text data transmitted through a wired / wireless telephone can be automatically converted in accordance with the reception and transmission environment of a visual, hearing, or speech impaired person who cannot perform a general telephone call. The present invention relates to a method for automatically converting data of a wired / wireless telephone using a computer.

In general, a wired / wireless telephone receives voice and text messages transmitted from the other party, and voices are voice messages or voice calls, text messages are output as text messages, and voice and text messages are input to the other party as voice and text data. .

Accordingly, the conventional telephone and wireless telephones are very difficult to communicate because they cannot hear the other party's voice, and users with visual impairments cannot see text messages, so they can communicate through text messages. There is a restriction on this situation.

In addition, when a user with a visual impairment, a hearing impairment, or a language impairment attempts to make a call through a conventional wired or wireless telephone, it is very difficult to communicate his / her intention to the other party by voice and text, as well as smooth communication. There was a problem that could not be achieved.

In order to solve this problem, helpers or special communication devices of volunteers are used for users who have visual, hearing, or speech impairments. However, these methods are not only able to guarantee personal privacy but also require expensive communication devices. There is also a disadvantageous problem.

Accordingly, there is a need for a method that enables users with visual, hearing, or speech impairments that are difficult for normal telephone communication to achieve smooth communication using a general wired or wireless telephone.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a method for automatically converting data of a wired / wireless telephone using a computer so that smooth communication can be achieved by automatically changing the data of the wired / wireless telephone according to the reception data and the reception environment. have.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically converting data of a wired / wireless telephone using a computer to automatically change the data of the wired / wireless telephone according to the outgoing data and the receiver for smooth communication.
