Abstract
In one example, real-time text (RTT) communications are integrated with video services. For instance, one method for integrating RTT communications with video services includes receiving a real time text call intended for a recipient in a home network, forwarding the real time text call to a first device in the home network, receiving a signal to redirect the real time text call to a second device in the home network that is different from the first device, and forwarding the real time text call to the second device, in response to the signal.

A device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor when the device is deployed as a home gateway in a home network, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a real time text call intended for a recipient in the home network;
- forwarding the real time text call to a mobile phone in the home network;
- receiving a signal from the mobile phone to redirect real time text call data to a television in the home network;

- receiving a real time text call intended for a recipient in the home network;
- forwarding the real time text call to a mobile phone in the home network;
- receiving a signal from the mobile phone to redirect real time text call data to a television in the home network;
