Multilingual Communication System with Pre-Coupled Message Boxes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems for multilingual communication suffer from a deterioration in real-time performance due to the time required for text translation, as they repeatedly determine the original and target languages for each text input, leading to delays in displaying translated text to other users.
Innovation Solution
A multilingual communication system that connects terminals and acquires language information to pre-define and couple terminal message boxes, allowing immediate translation and display of messages across different languages, thereby maintaining real-time communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If language information is acquired and translation settings are determined for each text input, then translation accuracy is improved, but the time required for translation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by acquiring language information and determining translation settings in advance, before actual text translation is needed. The system pre-identifies the original language and target language for each terminal, and pre-configures translation settings between terminal message boxes. This preparation work is done once when terminals connect to the communication system, rather than repeatedly for each text input, thus maintaining translation accuracy while significantly reducing translation time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by creating a general translation framework that works across multiple terminals and language pairs. The system establishes universal translation settings between terminal message boxes that can handle various language combinations without requiring individual configuration for each translation task. This multi-functional approach allows the same translation mechanism to serve multiple purposes and language pairs efficiently.
2Measurement precision
If translation processing is performed for each text input, then translation quality is maintained, but real-time communication property deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary configuration of translation settings between terminal message boxes when terminals first connect to the communication system. By pre-identifying language pairs and establishing translation relationships in advance, the system eliminates the need for repeated language detection and translation configuration for each text input, thus maintaining translation quality while enabling real-time communication.
3Measurement precision
If language information is repeatedly acquired for each text input, then translation accuracy is ensured, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by acquiring language information once when terminals connect to the system, rather than repeatedly for each text input. The system pre-identifies the original language and target language for each terminal, and stores this language information for reuse. This significantly improves processing efficiency while maintaining translation accuracy, as the language identification step is performed only once per terminal connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates universal translation settings between terminal message boxes that can handle multiple language pairs and translation scenarios. Once translation settings are established for a language pair, they can be reused for all text inputs between those terminals, improving processing efficiency without sacrificing translation accuracy.

AI summary
A participating terminal connection unit connects a plurality of terminals participating in communication, acquires language information set for each of the terminals to recognize the language used in the terminal, defines for each terminal a terminal message box for the communication, in which messages are described so as to be displayable in a time-series manner, and correlates the use language of the terminal with the terminal message box. A box coupling setting unit sets coupling between first and second terminal message boxes in a manner such that a transmission message written in the first terminal message box is translated and written in the second terminal message box as a reception message. When a transmission message is written in the first terminal message box from the first terminal, a box coupling execution unit translates the transmission message according to the coupling and writes the translated message in the second terminal message box as a reception message.
