Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method and device for assigning a telephone number to a browsing session and for providing physical location information to a public safety answering point in association with a web-based chat or relay session.
Claims13
A method, comprising:
- (a) receiving, via an address assignment module of a contactee and by a call over a telephone network, at least one of a Universal Resource Locator (“URL”) and a data network address of a computational device of a contactor;
- (b) in response to the call over the telephone network, initiating, using the at least one of the URL and data network address and by a computational device of the contactee, at least one of a text- and video-based session with the contactor;
- wherein step (a) comprises the sub-steps:
- (A1) determining, by the telephone network, that the contactee has a communication disability or impairment;
