Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Vocal vibration translation device

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention, as the title of this descriptive document states, is a device for translating vocal vibrations. It is an innovation that offers advantages previously unknown within current techniques.

[0005] TECHNICAL SECTOR

[0006] The present invention falls within the field of physics in musical instruments and acoustics in the section of voice analysis or synthesis, voice recognition, voice or speech processing, audio or voice encoding or decoding, as well as voice recognition and structural details of voice recognition systems.

[0007] Similarly, it falls within the classification of electricity, in electrical communications technology, especially in arrangements, devices, circuits or systems not covered by just one of the groups.

[0008] STATE OF THE ART

[0009] The present invention arises from observing that people with communication difficulties, such as cancer patients with ear, nose, and throat conditions, face great obstacles to expressing themselves adequately.

[0010] This communication limitation directly impacts their ability to interact with medical staff, express their needs, and actively participate in their own treatment. These barriers not only generate frustration and anxiety but can also affect the quality of care they receive.

[0011] Accordingly, this invention presents a vocal vibration translation device that facilitates expression for people with speech difficulties, especially cancer patients, improving their ability to convey essential messages and ensuring a more inclusive and effective treatment experience. Currently, no vocal vibration translation device is known to exist with structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal to or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed.

[0012] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The object of the present invention is the creation of a vocal vibration translation device that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.

[0014] The present invention relates to a voice vibration translation device, which consists of a portable device that integrates a voice vibration recognition and translation system, designed to facilitate real-time communication for people with speech difficulties or who are deaf and mute.

[0015] This invention allows people with speech difficulties, such as cancer patients with ear, nose, and throat problems, to express their thoughts and needs clearly.

[0016] This innovation is very useful, as it facilitates real-time communication by translating vocal vibrations into understandable messages, improving interaction with medical staff and increasing patient autonomy.

[0017] The device consists of a portable unit, for which it has a structurally compact and lightweight form, which facilitates its handling and transport by the user.

[0018] Furthermore, this equipment preferably includes a hanging attachment, such as a lanyard, allowing it to be worn around the user's neck. This feature ensures the device is always readily accessible for quick use, which is especially helpful in situations where immediate communication is required.

[0019] To achieve this, the portable device incorporates a built-in speaker that emits the speech generated by the voice recognition and translation system. The preferred version includes an easily accessible power button, contributing to its ease of use.

[0020] The voice vibration recognition and translation system is housed in the portable device and comprises at least one vibration sensor, designed to capture the vibrations generated by the vocal cords during speech. This sensor connects to a signal processor that analyzes the captured vibrations and converts them into comprehensible data.

[0021] Furthermore, the vocal vibration recognition and translation system is associated with an artificial intelligence system that receives data from the signal processor.

[0022] This system has the ability to identify the user's language and, through artificial intelligence, performs the translation into other languages, thus facilitating effective communication in multiple languages.

[0023] Additionally, the portable device includes an interface that allows the user to choose the language in which they want the voice output to be made.

[0024] This interface can be operated via a screen, touch controls, or voice commands, increasing the device's versatility and allowing for customization of the translation according to the user's needs.

[0025] The portable device can also be paired with a mobile application designed to receive data from the voice vibration recognition and translation system. This enables the translation of vocal cord vibrations and the output of the resulting speech through a mobile phone's speaker. This application can also serve as an interface. To facilitate this, the portable device includes a wireless connectivity module, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which allows data synchronization between the device and the mobile phone.

[0026] Finally, it is equipped with a charging port, either inductive or USB, which facilitates the recharging of an electrical power source, such as at least one rechargeable battery housed in the device.

[0027] To use the device, the user must place it very close to their mouth and speak, allowing the vibration sensor to capture the waves generated by the vocal cords. The recognition and translation system then processes these vibrations and converts them into understandable data.

[0028] In this way, this invention becomes an ally for the user, facilitating communication and allowing people with speech difficulties to express themselves more effectively.
