Description

simultaneous interpretation system

[0001] The present invention relates to a simultaneous interpretation system, and more particularly, to a simultaneous interpretation system configured to interpret input speech of a first language, generate characters of a second language, and then output the same through a display.

[0002]

[0003] Simultaneous interpretation service is a service that converts and outputs content spoken in a first language into a second language. This simultaneous interpretation system is configured to translate a sentence spoken by a user into a second language after the user has finished speaking the sentence, and output the sentence in the second language as text or voice.

[0004] Recently, interpretation and translation services using smartphone apps have been provided, providing convenience to users traveling abroad and also relieving the inconvenience of language barriers experienced by those who are not fluent in a foreign language when conversing with foreigners.

[0005] However, when receiving this conventional interpretation service, the user inputs his / her voice through the microphone of the smartphone and the translated voice is output, but when wanting to translate the voice spoken by the other party, he / she has to change the selected language in the menu every time he / she speaks and then hand the smartphone to the other party, which is inconvenient.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to develop a simultaneous interpretation device that allows for natural conversation as if in a real conversation with a foreigner who speaks a different language.

[0068]

[0069] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Regardless of the drawing numbers, identical or similar components will be given the same reference numbers and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0070] Furthermore, when describing the present invention, detailed descriptions of related known technologies will be omitted if they are deemed to obscure the gist of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be noted that the attached drawings are intended solely to facilitate understanding of the spirit of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the spirit of the present invention.

[0071]

[0072] Hereinafter, a simultaneous interpretation system according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

[0073] A simultaneous interpretation system according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include a smart terminal (100) and an interpretation terminal (200) as shown in FIG. 1.

[0074] A smart terminal (100) is a device such as a smartphone or tablet PC that has input / output functions, can install various applications as needed, and is configured to communicate with the outside world.

[0075] The smart terminal (100) is equipped with a first display (110), a first control unit (120), a first microphone (130), and a first speaker configured to enable touch input as shown in FIG. 2, and an interpretation application is installed in the smart terminal (100).

[0076] The interpretation terminal (200) is configured to be able to communicate with a smart terminal (100), and as shown in FIG. 3, is provided with a main body, a second display (210) placed on the main body, a second control unit (220) placed inside the main body, a second microphone (230), and a second speaker.

[0077] At this time, the first language input from at least one of the first microphone (130) of the smart terminal (100) or the second microphone (230) of the interpretation terminal (200) is interpreted into a preset second language through the interpretation application installed in the smart terminal (100) and transmitted to the second control unit (220) of the interpretation terminal (200).

[0078] As described above, the second language characters transmitted to the second control unit (220) can be output to the second display (210) of the interpretation terminal (200), and further, the second language voice transmitted to the second control unit (220) can be output to the second speaker of the interpretation terminal (200).

[0079] This enables smooth simultaneous interpretation between users of the first language and users of the second language.

[0080] In particular, the characters of the second language transmitted to the interpretation terminal (200) are prevented from being displayed brokenly on the second display (210) due to compatibility issues between the smart terminal (100) and the interpretation terminal (200) by applying the character font of the second language set in the second control unit (220).

[0081] To specifically explain the process of outputting the input first language voice into the second language characters, first, the first control unit (120) of the smart terminal (100) converts the input first language voice into the first language characters, and translates the converted first language characters into the second language characters.

[0082] Thereafter, the first control unit (120) transmits the translated second language characters to the second control unit (220) of the interpretation terminal (200), and the second language characters transmitted to the second control unit (220) are output to the second display (210) of the interpretation terminal (200).

[0083] The characters of the second language output as described above are configured to be continuously output without being removed from the second display (210) until a separate interpretation stop signal is generated by the interpretation application.

[0084] In addition, a simultaneous interpretation system according to one embodiment of the present invention can be configured to interpret not only a first language into a second language as described above, but also, conversely, to interpret a second language into a first language.

[0085] Specifically, at least one of the first control unit (120) of the smart terminal (100) and the second control unit (220) of the interpretation terminal (200) converts the input second language voice into characters of the second language by the interpretation application and then translates the converted characters of the second language into characters of the first language.

[0086] Afterwards, the translated first language characters can be output on the first display (210), and the converted second language characters can be output on the second display (220), so that the first language user can understand the second language user's speech through the first display (210), and further, the second language user can check whether the interpretation application properly recognizes what he or she said.

[0087] Meanwhile, interpretation of the input second language into the first language can be performed on either the smart terminal (100) or the interpretation terminal (200). However, considering that the interpretation terminal (200) is not equipped with a high-performance control unit in order to popularize an inexpensive interpretation terminal (200), it is preferable that the interpretation of the second language into the first language be performed on the smart terminal (100) rather than the interpretation terminal (100).

[0088] At this time, the first control unit (120) of the smart terminal (100) transmits the second language text converted into the second language voice to the second control unit (220), and the second control unit (220) is configured to output the received second language text to the second display (210).

[0089] In addition, the voice of the second language can be input through either the first microphone (130) provided in the smart terminal (100) or the second microphone (230) provided in the interpretation terminal (200), and the interpretation application is configured to selectively activate a first mode that activates input of the first language and a second mode that activates input of the second language.

[0090] First, when the second mode is activated, an external voice is input through the second microphone (230), and at this time, the second control unit (220) transmits the voice input through the second microphone (230) to the first control unit (120).

[0091] Afterwards, the first control unit (120) translates the voice of the transmitted language and temporarily stops the operation of the first microphone (130).

[0092] Likewise, when the first mode is activated, an external voice is input through the first microphone (130), and at this time, the first control unit (120) translates the voice input through the first microphone (130) while the second control unit (220) temporarily stops the operation of the second microphone (230).

[0093] This prevents conflicts between the interpretation process from the first language to the second language and the interpretation process from the second language to the first language.

[0094] Meanwhile, the interpretation application sets the second mode, which activates the input of the second language, as the default mode, and as a result, the simultaneous interpretation system basically waits for the input of the other party's second language rather than the input of the first language, which is the language of the user of the smart terminal (100).

[0095] The first display (110) of the smart terminal (100) is a display capable of touch input as described above, and the interpretation application outputs an activation icon for activating the first mode that activates input of the first language on the first display (110), and by this activation icon, the user can change the second mode, which is the default setting in the simultaneous interpretation system, to the first mode.

[0096] That is, when the user touches the activation icon, the second mode is deactivated and the first mode is activated, so that the first language is interpreted into the second language and output to the second display (210). After the second language is output to the second display (210), the first mode is deactivated and the second mode is activated again.

[0097] Specifically, when a voice is input in a situation where the first mode is activated by the user touching the activation icon, at least one of the first control unit (120) and the second control unit (220) recognizes the voice as a voice in the first language, and the first control unit (210) interprets the first language into the second language and outputs it on the second display (220). However, after the characters of the second language are output on the second display (220), the first mode is deactivated and the second mode is activated again. At this time, the second mode continues until a touch input of the activation icon occurs.

[0098] Conversely, the interpretation terminal (200) may also be equipped with a means for changing modes, and for this purpose, the interpretation terminal (200) may include a button section (240) as shown in FIG. 3, and the button section (240) includes an activation button (241) for activating input of a second language as shown in FIG. 4.

[0099] When a user, i.e., a user of a smart terminal (100) and the other party conversing with the user press the activation button (241) of the interpretation terminal (200), the second mode is activated and the interpreted second language voice is output as the interpreted first language text on the first display (110). However, the second mode remains activated even after the first language text is output on the first display (110).

[0100] Additionally, a character or image may be output on the first display (110) of the smart terminal (100) to inform the user of the smart terminal (100) that the second mode is currently activated.

[0101] Additionally, it is possible to change the mode of the simultaneous interpretation system by changing the direction, rotation, and position of the smart terminal (100).

[0102] To this end, the smart terminal (100) may further include a sensor (140) for detecting at least one of a change in direction, rotation, and position movement, such as an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a position sensor, a tilt sensor, etc., as shown in FIG. 2, and the first mode and the second mode may be determined based on the detection results of the sensor (140).

[0103] For example, when the smart terminal (100) is tilted so that the direction of the first display (110) is in the upper direction, i.e., the first direction, the first mode is activated, and when the smart terminal (100) is tilted so that the direction of the first display (110) is in the second direction, which is a different direction from the first direction, the second mode is activated.

[0104] Meanwhile, the interpretation terminal (200) of the simultaneous interpretation system according to one embodiment of the present invention may be formed with a support or mounting portion (250).

[0105] This stand (250) can be formed in a stand shape so that it can be supported on the floor, and can also be formed so that it can be inserted into the charging port of the smart terminal (100) as shown in FIG. 6.

[0106] Furthermore, the mounting part (250) may be in the form of a necklace that can be worn on the user's body, and may be formed in the form of a mask that is mounted on the user's face as shown in FIG. 7.

[0107] Looking into it in more detail with reference to FIG. 7, the mask itself performs the function of an interpretation terminal (200), and the mask may include a mask body (252) that serves as the main body, a transparent window (253) that can transmit the user's face, and a transparent display (254) that is a second display (200) that is placed on the transparent window (253) and outputs characters of a second language, and further includes an earring part (251) that serves as a holder (250) for the user to wear the mask.

[0108] Furthermore, a simultaneous interpretation system according to one embodiment of the present invention may be composed of one smart terminal (100) and one interpretation terminal (200) as mentioned above, but may also be composed of one smart terminal (100) and multiple interpretation terminals (200).

[0109] At this time, characters of different languages ​​can be displayed on the second displays (210) of the multiple interpretation terminals (200).

[0110] For example, Korean may be set as the default language in the smart terminal (100), and English, Japanese, and Chinese may be set as the default languages ​​in the three interpretation terminals (200), namely the first interpretation terminal, the second interpretation terminal, and the third interpretation terminal, respectively. In this situation, when the user of the smart terminal (100) inputs a voice in the first language, which is Korean, the first control unit (110) interprets the Korean voice into the characters of the three countries described above through the interpretation application, and then transmits English characters, Japanese characters, and Chinese characters to the first interpretation terminal, the second interpretation terminal, and the third interpretation terminal, respectively, and each interpretation terminal outputs the characters received from the first control unit (110) on the second display (210).

[0111] Furthermore, when Japanese voice is input through the second interpretation terminal, the second interpretation terminal transmits the Japanese voice to the smart terminal (100), the first control unit (110) converts the Japanese voice into Japanese characters and then translates them into Korean, English, and Chinese characters, and the smart terminal (100) outputs the Korean characters to the first display (110) and simultaneously transmits the English characters and Chinese characters to the first interpretation terminal and the third interpretation terminal, respectively, thereby causing the English characters and Chinese characters to be output on the second displays (210) of the first interpretation terminal and the third interpretation terminal.

[0112] In addition, the second display (210) of the interpretation terminal (200) may be configured to include a first display surface and a second display surface that are arranged in mutually opposing directions.

[0113] At this time, the first display surface may be arranged in the direction of the user of the smart terminal (100), and the second display surface may be arranged in the direction of the user of the interpretation terminal (200). At this time, the first display surface may be configured to output characters of the first language of the user of the smart terminal (100), and the second display surface may be configured to output characters of the second language of the user of the interpretation terminal (200).

[0114] Meanwhile, the interpretation terminal (200) may further include a sharing module (260) for implementing a Wi-Fi sharing function as illustrated in FIG. 3, thereby providing a Wi-Fi environment to a smart terminal (100) located nearby.

[0115] In addition, the interpretation terminal (200) may include a GPS module (270) for confirming the location of the interpretation terminal (200) as shown in FIG. 3, and further, the button unit (240) may include an emergency button (242) as shown in FIG. 4.

[0116] At this time, when the user presses the emergency button (242) described above, the interpretation terminal (200) can transmit the location of the interpretation terminal (100) confirmed by GPS to a preset recipient.

[0117] In addition, the button section (240) of the interpretation terminal (200) may further include a photographing button (243) and an interpretation button (244), as illustrated in FIG. 4, wherein the photographing button (243) performs a function of executing a photo taking function of a smart terminal (100) linked to the interpretation terminal (200), and the interpretation button (244) performs a function of executing an interpretation application of a smart terminal (100) linked to the interpretation terminal (200).

[0118] In addition, the interpretation terminal (200) includes a power module (280) inside as shown in FIG. 3, and this power module (280) not only supplies power to drive the interpretation terminal (200), but can also perform a function of sharing power with a smart terminal (100), etc.

[0119] To this end, the power module (280) may be configured to include a rechargeable battery (281) and a power supply module (282) for supplying power stored in the battery (281) to an external device, as illustrated in FIG. 5, thereby supplying power to the external device via wired or wireless means.

[0120] Furthermore, with respect to the interpretation language in the simultaneous interpretation system, when at least one of the preset specific words, countries, and languages ​​is input by voice through a smart terminal (100) or an interpretation terminal (200), the second language can be automatically set to the language of the specific country that matches the specific words, countries, and languages.

[0121] Meanwhile, in the above description, the interpretation terminal (200) is described as being capable of interfacing only with a smart terminal (100), but it may also be a terminal having all the same functions as the above-described smart terminal (100), in which case communication between multiple interpretation terminals (200) is possible, and furthermore, not only can an interpretation application be installed on the interpretation terminal (200), but translation may also be performed by the second control unit (220) of the interpretation terminal (200).

[0122] In addition, a simultaneous interpretation function between a caller using a first language and a caller using a second language can be implemented by using an interpretation application and a voice call application installed on a smart terminal (100).

[0123] Specifically, when a caller uses the voice call function of a smart terminal (100) to make a call to the other party's terminal, the smart terminal (100) converts the caller's voice in the first language into characters in the first language through an interpretation application, translates the characters in the first language into characters in the second language, and then converts the characters in the second language into voice in the second language before transmitting it to the other party's terminal.

[0124] At this time, the translated first language characters are output on the display of the caller's smart terminal (100), thereby allowing the caller to check whether his / her first language voice is being properly translated or interpreted.

[0125] In particular, the interpretation application operates simultaneously in the background of the voice call application used by the caller, and the voice call application directly translates the voice of the first language into the voice of the second language and transmits it to the terminal of the caller, and the terminal of the caller can output the voice of the second language that was transmitted.

[0126] Additionally, the voice call application can interpret a second language voice received from the other party's terminal into a first language voice, and the smart terminal can output the interpreted first language voice.

[0127]

[0128] In addition, a simultaneous translation function between a text conversation partner using a first language and a text conversation partner using a second language can be implemented by using a translation application and a text transmission / reception application installed on a smart terminal (100).

[0129] Specifically, the smart terminal (100) is configured to translate characters in the first language of the text conversation partner into characters in the second language through a translation application and transmit the translated characters to the text conversation partner.

[0130] Conversely, the smart terminal (100) translates the second language characters received from the terminal of the text conversation partner into the first language characters through a translation application, and then outputs the translated first language characters on the display of the smart terminal (100).

[0131] At this time, the translation application operates simultaneously in the background of the text transmission / reception application used by the text conversation partner, and when the text conversation partner inputs characters of the first language into the character input window displayed on the display by the text transmission / reception application, the translation application translates the characters of the first language into characters of the second language and then transmits the translated characters of the second language to the terminal of the text conversation partner.
