Zero UI Automatic Interpretation Server for Wearable Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automatic interpretation technologies require user interaction and language matching, leading to inconvenient conversations and potential malfunctions when incorrect voices are input to terminal devices.
Innovation Solution
An automatic interpretation server and method utilizing a zero user interface (UI) that connects and interprets voice signals from wearable terminal devices within a designated zone, performing voice activity detection and speaker verification to ensure accurate language matching and interpretation without user operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user touches a screen or clicks a button to initiate interpretation, then the terminal device can perform voice recognition and translation, but the conversation becomes inconvenient and unnatural due to required user operations
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device automatically activates voice recognition and interpretation functions when it detects that another terminal is nearby, without requiring the user to manually start the function. This preliminary detection and automatic activation eliminates the need for touch operations or button clicks to initiate interpretation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects the presence of another user, initiates voice recording, performs interpretation, and manages the entire conversation flow without human intervention. The terminal serves itself by automatically activating and deactivating interpretation functions based on detected conversation status.
2Speed
If the terminal device continuously listens for voice input, then it can respond quickly, but it may malfunction by incorrectly interpreting voices from wrong speakers or third parties
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses speaker verification to provide feedback about whose voice is being detected. Before performing interpretation, the terminal verifies that the detected voice belongs to the intended speaker (the other user in the conversation), not a third party. This feedback mechanism ensures accurate voice attribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device acts as an intermediary that receives and verifies voice signals before processing them for interpretation. It mediates between the physical voice input and the interpretation output by verifying speaker identity, ensuring that only authenticated voices from conversation partners are interpreted.
3Ease of operation
If the terminal device automatically connects with any nearby device, then connection is simplified, but language matching and correct interpretation pairing cannot be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device performs language information exchange and matching before establishing the interpretation connection. It preliminarily identifies the language of the other user and matches it with its own language capabilities, ensuring correct pairing before activation.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal serves as an intermediary that exchanges language information with other devices to determine compatibility. It mediates the connection process by verifying language matching criteria before allowing automatic connection, preventing incorrect interpretation pairings.

AI summary
Provided a method performed by an automatic interpretation server based on a zero user interface (UI), which communicates with a plurality of terminal devices having a microphone function, a speaker function, a communication function, and a wearable function. The method includes connecting terminal devices disposed within a designated automatic interpretation zone, receiving a voice signal of a first user from a first terminal device among the terminal devices within the automatic interpretation zone, matching a plurality of users placed within a speech-receivable distance of the first terminal device, and performing automatic interpretation on the voice signal and transmitting results of the automatic interpretation to a second terminal device of at least one second user corresponding to a result of the matching.
