Mobile terminal

Abstract

Provided is a portable communication terminal which determines a language used in an area based on location information of itself and performs translation in the language.The portable communication terminal has a voice input means which inputs voice, a location information means which measures the current position as location information consisting of latitude and longitude, a data table which stores areas of all the countries of the world to be determined by the latitude and the longitude by sorting them by every used language, a translation language determination means which determines an area to which the portable terminal belongs by the location information and determines a corresponding language and a translation means which translates the voice inputted by the voice input means into the determined language. Thus, the portable communication terminal which automatically selects the language to be translated based on the location information is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to mobile terminals. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as a device for measuring the current position information of a user, there is a mobile phone equipped with a GPS system (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). Moreover, it is well known that there is also a mobile translation machine provided for overseas travel, overseas business, etc. A translator for this purpose is generally based on its purpose of use, and the language that should be translated is clearly defined from the beginning. Therefore, conventional mobile translators generally can only perform translations corresponding to pre-installed specific languages, such as from Japanese to English, from Japanese to Chinese or from Japanese to French. [0003] 【Patent Literature】 [0004] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-64482 (pages 1 to 2, Figure 1) [0005] However, as mentioned above, although there is no problem if the translati...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, as mentioned above, although there is no problem if the translation language is known from the beginning, for this single-function translation machine that corresponds to the translation language one-to-one, if the language to be translated is not known at the beginning In the case of this, it is necessary to confirm "what language the translator is for" every time it is used, so there is a problem of complicated use

Furthermore, when using a translator that supports multiple translation languages ​​by changing the translation language by changing the language ROM card, the language ROM card needs to be replaced every time the language to be translated is changed, so there is a similar problem.
