[0029] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 5 The utility model describes a translation intercom device.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a translation intercom device, including a host 100 and a playback unit 200. The host 100 includes a transceiver module 11, a processor 12, and a first Bluetooth module 13 connected in sequence. The playback unit 200 includes a playback module 21 and a second Bluetooth module 22 connected. The first Bluetooth module 13 and the second Bluetooth module 22 are connected via a Bluetooth communication protocol and are used to transmit the voice signal translated by the processor 12. At least one of the host 100 and the playback unit 200 is provided with a sound pickup module 31. Figure 1 , the sound pickup module 31 of the host 100 is connected to the processor 12. Figure 2 , the sound pickup module 31 of the playback unit 200 is connected to the second Bluetooth module 22 .

[0031] Among them, the transceiver module 11 is used to receive and send wireless shortwave voice signals, and the processor 12 is used to translate the voice signal obtained by the sound pickup module 31 and send the translated voice signal through the transceiver module 11; the processor 12 is also used to translate the voice signal obtained by the transceiver module 11 and play the translated voice signal through the playback module 21.

[0032] The host 100 and playback unit 200 are two independent components. The host 100 is responsible for transmitting and receiving shortwave signals, while the playback unit 200 is responsible for audio playback. The playback unit 200 can be a playback device such as headphones, a headset, or a speaker, while the host 100 can be a walkie-talkie. The headphones can only play audio or both play and receive audio. The Bluetooth communication protocol between the host 100 and playback unit 200 can be the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP).

[0033] The transceiver module 11 includes an antenna, which is used to convert the high-frequency electromagnetic signal generated in the host 100 into wireless shortwaves and radiate them into the air. At the same time, it receives wireless shortwaves emitted by the host 100 of other translation intercom devices and converts them into signals that can be recognized by the host 100 of this translation intercom device.

[0034] When using the translation intercom, the first Bluetooth module 13 and the second Bluetooth module 22 are paired to enable audio transmission between the host 100 and the playback unit 200 via Bluetooth. The sound pickup module 31 is used to receive voice signals from the user wearing the translation intercom; the transceiver module 11 is used to transmit the voice signal obtained by translating the user's voice signal and to receive voice signals from other translation intercoms.

[0035] When a user needs to listen to translated speech, the transceiver module 11 receives a first speech signal, and the processor 12 translates the first speech signal into a second speech signal. The second speech signal is then transmitted to the playback module 21 via the first Bluetooth module 13 and the second Bluetooth module 22, where it is played for the user to listen to. The first speech signal is a speech signal emitted by another translation intercom device. For example, the first speech signal is an English speech signal, and the second speech signal corresponds to a Chinese speech signal.

[0036] When voice transmission is required, the sound pickup module 31 receives the third voice signal and sends it to the processor 12. The processor 12 translates the third voice signal into a fourth voice signal, and then transmits the fourth voice signal through the transceiver module 11 for reception by the transceiver module 11 of other translation intercom devices. For example, the third voice signal is a Chinese voice signal, and the fourth voice signal is a corresponding English voice signal.

[0037] Among them, relevant digital processing modules are provided between the processor 12 and the transceiver module 11, between the processor 12 and the pickup module 31, and between the second Bluetooth module 22 and the playback module 21. These modules are used to convert between wireless shortwave signals and digital signals, and between audio signals and digital signals. This is a conventional technology in the field and will not be described in detail. The above-mentioned first voice signal, second voice signal, third voice signal, and fourth voice signal will be processed accordingly when transmitted between different modules.

[0038] The translation intercom device can be used in tourism scenarios, such as Figure 5 As shown, in a tour group, the tour guide and each member of the tour group each carry a translation intercom device. Figure 5 The host 100 and headset on the left side of the center are carried by the tour guide, while the diagram on the right schematically shows five hosts 100 and headsets carried by five tourists. Each member's host 100 communicates with each other via shortwave radio.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the host is provided with a display screen 16, which is connected to the processor 12. The voice signal obtained by the transceiver module 11 is translated by the processor 12 to obtain a first translated voice signal, and the display screen 16 is used to display text information corresponding to the first translated voice signal.

[0043] Specifically, the transceiver module 11 receives a first voice signal, the processor 12 translates the first voice signal into a second voice signal, and processes the second voice signal to obtain corresponding text information, and sends the text information to the display screen 16 for display.

[0044] The display screen 16 can also be used to display text information corresponding to the voice signal received by the transceiver module 11, that is, text information corresponding to the first voice signal, so that the host can display the received voice in bilingual form.

[0045] Furthermore, the display screen 16 is also used to display the text information corresponding to the voice signal received by the sound pickup module 31, that is, the text information corresponding to the third voice signal. The voice signal obtained by the sound pickup module 31 is translated by the processor 12 to obtain a second translated voice signal. The display screen 16 is also used to display the text information corresponding to the second translated voice signal, so that the host 100 can display the voice spoken by the user in bilingual.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the host 100 further includes a pairing module 14, which is connected to the processor 12 and configured to establish a communication link between the transceiver module 11 and an external device. Multiple intercom translation devices communicate wirelessly via the transceiver module 11. The pairing module 14 is configured to set the frequency channel for the intercom translation devices, enabling networking and pairing of multiple intercom translation devices. The pairing module 14 sends a frequency setting instruction to the processor 12, which, based on the instruction, controls the transceiver module 11 to transmit and receive wireless shortwave signals on a specific channel.

[0047] To achieve wireless shortwave communication between multiple intercom translation devices, the devices can be configured to share the same frequency channel via the pairing module 14, achieving network pairing. Alternatively, any intercom translation device can be selected to create a group via the pairing module 14, and the other intercom translation devices can be added to the group to achieve network pairing. Once network pairing is established, the multiple intercom translation devices can communicate with each other within the designated communication channel.

[0048] The pairing module 14 includes a frequency setting button provided on the first housing 10. The processor 12 has a plurality of channel options preset therein, and the user can select a communication channel by operating the frequency setting button. Optionally, the display screen 16 is also used to display the channel options for the user to view and operate conveniently.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the host 100 further includes a communication module 15, and the processor 12 is connected to the backend server via the communication module 15. The communication module 15 is used to send the voice signal received by the processor 12 to the backend server for translation, and transmit the translated voice signal back to the processor 12.

[0050] The processor 12 receives the third voice signal obtained by the sound pickup module 31 and sends the third voice signal to the backend server, which translates it into a fourth voice signal and transmits it back to the processor 12. The processor 12 receives the first voice signal obtained by the transceiver module 11 and sends the first voice signal to the backend server, which translates it into a second voice signal and transmits it back to the processor 12.

[0051] Specifically, the communication module 15 includes a communication chip and a user identification card. The communication chip is connected to the user identification card, and the processor 12 communicates with the backend server through the communication chip. The user identification card contains user identity information. When the host 100 needs to connect to the network, it uses the user identification card to identify the user's identity information and then connect to the network, that is, connect to the backend server. The user identification card can be a SIM (Subscriber Identify Module) card or an eSIM (Embedded SIM) card.

[0052] The translation intercom device of this embodiment is connected to the backend server via the communication chip and the user identity card to enjoy the mobile data service. The backend server provides real-time online translation via mobile data, and has strong applicability.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the host 100 further includes a language switching module 17, which is connected to the processor 12. The language switching module 17 is configured to determine a target translation language and send a control instruction representing the target translation language to the processor 12, which performs translation according to the control instruction.

[0054] Specifically, the language switching module 17 includes a language switching button provided on the first housing 10. The processor 12 is pre-configured with multiple language matching options. The user can select the language to be translated by operating the language switching button. For example, English-Chinese matching options, Chinese-English matching options, Korean-Chinese matching options, Chinese-Korean matching options, and so on. Optionally, the language matching options can be displayed on the display screen 16 for user convenience.

[0055] If you want to translate received English speech into Chinese for listening, and translate spoken Chinese speech into English for sending, you select the English-Chinese matching option; if the opposite is true, you select the Chinese-English matching option. Processor 12 performs Chinese-English translation based on the user's selected matching option. If multiple users are each equipped with an intercom translation device, each user can set their own language according to their needs through language switching module 17.

[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the host 100 further includes a first housing 10, wherein a transceiver module 11, a processor 12, and a first Bluetooth module 13 are disposed within the first housing 10. The language switching module 17 includes a scroll wheel 171 disposed on a side of the first housing 10 and connected to the processor 12. The language switching module 17 determines the target translation language via the scroll wheel 171.

[0057] Specifically, scroll wheel 171 is connected to processor 12 via a control circuit. Rotating scroll wheel 171 to different angles corresponds to control instructions for different language matching options. When switching language matching options, scrolling scroll wheel 171 to a specific angle generates a control instruction, which processor 12 then uses to determine the target language for translation. It should be noted that the functionality of scroll wheel 171 can also be implemented using application software built into processor 12, with the switching process displayed on display screen 16.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the host 100 is provided with a pickup button 18, which is connected to the processor 12.
