Interpretation Distributing Device for Multilingual Voice Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional simultaneous interpretation systems using infrared rays require dedicated receiving devices, leading to issues where interpreted voice cannot be heard without a dedicated receiver, especially when it is not prepared in advance.
Innovation Solution
An interpretation distributing device that acquires and transmits interpreted voice data to terminal devices without the need for a dedicated receiving device, allowing output of interpreted voice data in multiple languages and enabling message transmission and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a dedicated receiving device is used to receive interpreted voice data transmitted via infrared rays, then the interpreted voice can be received and output, but the system requires specialized equipment that users must prepare in advance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by enabling general-purpose terminal devices (smartphones, tablets, PCs) to receive interpreted voice data instead of requiring dedicated receiving devices. The terminal devices use their existing communication capabilities (wireless communication, display screens, speakers) to perform the interpretation reception function, making the system accessible to anyone with a common terminal device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an interpretation distributing device as an intermediary between the interpretation transmission source and terminal devices. This distributing device receives interpreted voice data, processes it, and distributes it to multiple terminal devices via wireless communication, eliminating the need for dedicated receivers while ensuring reliable delivery.
2Ease of operation
If interpreted voice data is transmitted using infrared rays, then the transmission can be achieved, but users cannot hear interpreted voice when a dedicated receiver is not prepared
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables universal access to interpreted voice by allowing any terminal device with wireless communication capabilities to receive the data. Users can leverage devices they already own (smartphones, tablets, computers) without needing to acquire specialized equipment, greatly improving ease of operation and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the infrared transmission mechanism with wireless communication (such as Wi-Fi or mobile data). This substitution allows interpreted voice data to be transmitted through standard communication protocols that terminal devices already support, eliminating the need for line-of-sight infrared reception and enabling access without dedicated hardware.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pieces of interpreted voice data in different languages are acquired, then multi-language interpretation is enabled, but the data transmission and management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments interpreted voice data by language, with each piece of interpreted voice data associated with a specific language identifier. The interpretation distributing device manages these segmented data streams separately, allowing efficient organization and distribution of multiple language versions without mixing them up, thus handling complexity through structured segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where terminal devices can send requests for specific languages, and the interpretation distributing device uses this feedback to determine which interpreted voice data to transmit. This feedback loop optimizes data transmission by sending only the requested language versions, reducing unnecessary data management complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
An interpretation distributing device includes: an interpreted voice acquiring unit that acquires at least one piece of interpreted voice data of two or more pieces of interpreted voice data which are voice data obtained by interpreting voice in a first language into voice in two or more different languages; and an interpreted voice transmitting unit that transmits at least one piece of the interpreted voice data acquired by the interpreted voice acquiring unit to one or more terminal devices.
