[0025] The sign language conversion system includes a camera module, a sign language recognition module, a language understanding module, and an output module; The camera module can capture sign language movements, and can use cameras, sensors or other devices to capture gestures; The sign language recognition module can analyze the sign language movements captured by the camera module and convert them into a form that can be understood by the computer; The language understanding module can analyze the data transmitted by the sign language recognition module and is responsible for converting the sign language into language or text. Specifically, the natural language processing technology can be used for conversion processing; The results of the output module's recognition and understanding need to be presented to the listener in an appropriate manner, which can be achieved by displaying text on a display screen, playing voice through a microphone, or through other means.

[0026] The monitoring module includes a microphone array, a signal processing unit, a wireless communication module and a vibration module; The microphone array is specifically a group of small microphones, which are integrated and installed on the bracelet to capture the surrounding sounds. The microphone array processes the collected sounds and transmits them to the processor to determine the direction provided by the sound, so that the bracelet can determine the direction of the sound source; The signal processing unit is responsible for processing the sound data obtained from the microphone array, which involves algorithms such as noise elimination, speech enhancement, and sound localization to ensure that the hearing-impaired can accurately perceive the sounds of the surrounding environment, such as alarms, doorbells, traffic signals, etc. The wireless communication module is used to transmit the sound data processed by the signal processing unit to the main controller of the bracelet and the mobile device for further processing or providing feedback to the user; The vibration module includes a vibration generator, which is electrically connected to the signal processing unit. The vibration generator can receive the signal transmitted by the signal processing unit, and vibrate after receiving the signal to remind the user and increase his attention.

The driving motor 36 can be electrically connected to the vibration generator in the vibration module, so as to be started together. The driving motor 36 can directly drive the rotating rod 34 to drive the push rod 35 to rotate. One end of the push rod 35 will abut against one side of the rectangular groove 32. At this time, the push rod 35 will push the movable plate 31 toward one end by pushing the rectangular groove 32. As the end of the push rod 35 rotates into the arc groove 33, the other end of the push rod 35 will push the other side of the rectangular groove 32. At this time, the movable plate 31 will be forced to move toward the opposite end. This can be repeated, so that the movable plate 31 can move up and down repeatedly. The movable plate 31 will drive the vibration plate 38 through the top rod 37 to continuously knock on the surface of the user's skin, thereby further increasing the reminder to the user, ensuring that the user can find problems in time, and increasing the practicality of the device; Squeezing the two long rods 2 can make the two positioning plates 16 move toward each other at the same time. At this time, the positioning blocks 17 on the two positioning plates 16 will be separated from the positioning grooves 15 on the extension plate 12. At this time, the strap 13 can pull the extension plate 12 to move at will, thereby increasing the distance between the extension plate 12 and the strap 13, better adapting to different wrists, and increasing the adaptability of the bracelet.

[0028] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
