Electronic doorbell system with text communication

Abstract:

An electronic doorbell system can be configured to enable remote audio communications between a visitor at the doorbell and a user of a mobile computing device by exchanging speech-to-text and/or text-to-speech messages in real time. Audio captured by the visitor can be transcribed into text messages and sent to the user of the mobile device using a speech-to-text service. The user of the mobile device can send text messages to the doorbell for playback to the visitor by using a text-to-speech service. The system can also use artificial intelligence to detect the language spoken by the visitor for translating between a predetermined language of the user and the language of the visitor. The system can also include a camera for capturing video of the visitor for display to the mobile device simultaneous with exchanging text messages between the visitor and the user, such as during a live Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) communication.
