Solution Overview

Problem

Current language translation services do not consider user interest when translating text, failing to provide relevant additional information related to keywords extracted from the translation.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device and method that translates text into another language, extracts keywords, and displays relevant content associated with those keywords, allowing users to access additional information by selecting the keywords.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a language translator mechanically translates only words or sentences into other languages, then the translation function is simple and fast, but it does not consider user interest or provide relevant additional information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interest considerationVSAvoidtranslation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The translation system is segmented into multiple functional modules: a translation module that performs basic translation, a keyword extraction module that identifies important terms, and a content provision module that supplies additional information. This segmentation allows the system to enhance functionality through modular additions rather than redesigning the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The translation device is designed with multi-functionality by integrating not only translation capabilities but also keyword extraction and additional content provision functions. This allows a single device to serve multiple purposes: basic translation, contextual information provision, and user interest-based content delivery, thereby improving adaptability without requiring separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If additional content related to keywords is displayed in a third area, then user experience is enhanced with relevant information, but the display interface becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoiddisplay interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display interface is segmented into three distinct areas: a first area for showing the original text, a second area for displaying the translation, and a third area for presenting additional content related to extracted keywords. This spatial segmentation organizes information hierarchically, allowing users to access enhanced functionality while maintaining a structured and manageable interface layout.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for providing a translation service by using an electronic device can comprise the steps of: receiving an original text written in a first language; displaying the original text in a first area on a display; generating a translation created by translating the original text into a second language; extracting a keyword from the translation; displaying the translation in a second area on the display; and displaying content related to the keyword in a third area on the display if the keyword is selected from the translation. In addition, other examples are also possible.
