Description

Method for translating an instant message into multiple languages in real-time}

The present invention relates to a mobile instant messenger (MIM) technology, and more particularly, to a real-time multilingual chatting method capable of providing a real-time multilingual translation service to enable chatting between users having different languages. .

The popular dissemination and daily use of mobile devices is now a routine landscape. The vast majority of people carry their smartphones around as if they were their own limbs, and communicate freely in real time without time and space limitations. In particular, smart phones are becoming indispensable to our lives by not only enabling the use of the Internet but also increasing the immediacy and directness of communication. Accordingly, online-based applications are being improved and serviced to suit the mobile environment. In particular, a mobile instant messenger (hereinafter referred to as MIM) accounts for a large portion of the usage behavior of smart phone users, and interest in this is also amplifying.

In particular, the instant messaging service was previously available only on PCs, but as communication technology has developed, it has become possible on portable terminals as well. It is the most representative service and is widely used.

On the other hand, as the quality of life increases and society becomes globalized, users who use messenger services sometimes use the same language, but often use different languages. Demand for real-time translation technology that enables users to use instant messaging services is rapidly increasing.

As such conventional real-time translation technology, methods using a separate translation engine to support multilingual translation of messages included in a chat window are disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 2020-0095040, Korean Patent Publication No. 2021-0039614, Republic of Korea It has been proposed in Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2015-0104051.

For example, Patent Document 1 (Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-1271285) maintains a chat room including a plurality of users, receives a chat message from a user in the chat room, and sends a translation engine based on the structure of the chat message. It is determined whether or not to access, and based on the result of this determination, a method of translating the content of the message included in the chatting message using a translation engine and then uploading the translated message to the chatting room is disclosed.

On the other hand, methods for providing a real-time automatic translation chatting service by including a translation server in a messenger server providing an instant messaging service are disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 2001-0029126, Korean Registered Patent No. 10-2214562, and Korean Patent Laid-open Publication No. No. 2015-0053886, Korean Patent Publication No. 2014-0116259, and Korean Patent Publication No. 2018-0108973 have been proposed.

In particular, Patent Document 2 (Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2018-0108973) identifies a language set from a plurality of users included in a chat room, and upon receiving a message input from at least one user among the plurality of users, the message A plurality of languages, characterized in that for translating the contents into the language set by each of a plurality of users, and providing the contents of the message input from the user and the contents of the message translated into the language set from each of the plurality of users to the chat room. A method for providing automatic translation during user conversation is proposed.

However, the above-described conventional translation chatting methods display the content of a message input from a specific user and the content of a translated message translated from the message together in a chat room, resulting in poor readability, and as the translation load is concentrated on the server side, There is a problem that the load of the server increases intensively.

In addition, the conventional translation chatting method uses an external professional machine translation engine or a translation program developed in-house, but one word may have several parts of speech or have multiple meanings, and in morpheme analysis and syntactic analysis The constant existence of linguistic ambiguity often results in errors in word order or unnatural translations.

Therefore, Patent Document 3 (Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-2138663), which has been previously applied for and registered by the present inventor, allows the user to verify the translated content provided by the translation server and at the same time verify the translation in the deep learning server. We propose a method to reduce errors in translation and increase accuracy by performing translation.

In the case of a chat translation method using an existing external translation engine or an internal translation server, the translation load is concentrated on the server side, which increases the load on the server, and as a result, the translation of the chat message may be delayed. Accordingly, a major technical task of the present invention is to provide a translation load distribution technology capable of distributing translation load to clients and servers.

In addition, in the case of the existing real-time multilingual translation chatting method, since the original message and the translated message are simultaneously displayed in the chatting window, readability of the message is reduced. In contrast, the present invention provides a user interface environment that enhances the readability and visibility of messages by placing the original message in the background and displaying only translated messages translated into the language set by the user (eg, native language) in the chat window. to another technical challenge.

In addition, another technical task of the present invention is to be able to check the original message existing in the background according to the request of the chatting partner who has confirmed the translated message, and to modify or supplement the original message according to the request of the chatting partner.

In order to provide an instant messaging service between a plurality of users having different languages, a real-time multilingual chatting method of the present invention for achieving the above object includes a translation application that translates an intermediate language into a designated target language and an instant messaging application. This is done in an environment where a plurality of installed user terminals and a messenger system that mediates the instant messaging service between the plurality of user terminals are connected via a network.

Hereinafter, a real-time multilingual translation chatting method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5 .

<Multilingual translation chat process>

First, a user who wants to use the real-time multilingual translation messaging service of the present invention downloads and installs the instant messaging application 111 and the translation software program 112 in the user terminals 110, 120, and 130 (S110). Hereinafter, a case in which the user terminal is a smart phone 110 will be described as a representative example.

The instant messaging application 111 is one of a plurality of applications installed in the user terminal 110 and may be distributed in an application store or market. When the user executes the instant messaging application 111, a chat session is opened with registered friends and messages can be exchanged. In addition, the translation software program 112 may be combined with the instant messaging application 111 and distributed together in an application store or market, or separately downloaded from the messenger server 210 to the user terminal 110 and installed. At this time, the translation software program 112 may be a program that translates the intermediate language (or central language) into the user's target language (eg, French).

The instant messaging application 111 may access the contact list of the user terminal 110 and automatically add friends who have installed the same application to the friend list, or may directly add friends. For example, the invitation may access the contacts in the user terminal 110 to recommend installation of the application to a friend who does not use the instant messaging application 111 . In addition, by reading the QR code, another user corresponding to the information included in the recognized QR code can be added as a friend, and another user's ID can be directly searched for and the friend can be manually added.

A user who has installed the translation software program 112 sets and registers at least one target language (S112). That is, the user may set his/her native language as the first target language and set the second foreign language as the second target language. Of course, if the translation language of the translation software program 112 (for example, translation from English to French) is set in advance, the target language setting procedure is not separately required.

A user who wants to use real-time multilingual translation chatting according to the present invention opens a chat room including at least one other language user using the instant messaging application 111 (S114).

The connection management unit 211 of the messenger server 210 receives a message (hereinafter, abbreviated as 'original message') input by the user in a first language (eg, Korean) in a user conversation session, and processes the message ) (S115, S116).

The processing unit 213 that has received the original message instructs the first interlocking unit 215 to access the translation server (or translation engine) 220 and translate the original message into an intermediate language (eg, English). instruct Accordingly, the first interlocking unit 215 forwards the original message to the translation server 220 (S118), and the translation server 220 first translates the first language of the original message into an intermediate language. The translation message is returned to the processing unit 113 via the first interlocking unit 215 (S120).

After the processing unit 113 stores the original text message and the primary translation message in the database 214 (S122), the primary translation message and the original message are participated in the conversation session through the connection management unit 211. It is transmitted to the user terminals 110 of the users who are doing (S124).

Meanwhile, in S116, the processing unit 213 determines whether the first language and the set intermediate language are the same, and if the first language and the intermediate language are identical, the original message composed of the first language is transmitted as it is. (That is, without translation into an intermediate language) and transmitted to the second user terminal.

Upon receiving the primary translation message and the original message, the instant messaging application 111 of the user terminal 110 temporarily stores the original message and the primary translation message, and then calls the translation software program 112 to obtain the primary translation message. Translation of the secondary translation message is requested (S126).

The translation software program 112 generates a second translation message by translating the intermediate language (eg English) of the first translation message into a target language (eg French) previously set by the user (S127). ).

The instant messaging application 111 displays the second translation message translated into the target language in the messenger chat window (ie, chat window) of the user terminal 111 of the corresponding user (S130), and accesses the messenger server 210. The secondary translation message is transmitted to the management unit 211 (S128). The processing unit 213 of the messenger server 210 converts the second translation message into a database 214 as an original message set (original message-first translation message-second translation message) together with the original message and the first translation message. stored in (S129). At this time, since the target language is the user's native language, the user can easily understand the secondary translation message displayed in the chatting window.

Meanwhile, in S126, the instant messaging application 111 determines whether the intermediate language and the target language are the same, and if the intermediate language and the target language are the same, the instant messaging application 111 transmits the first translation message to the instant messaging application. It is displayed as-is (i.e., without translation into the target language) in the dialog window of

Accordingly, when the first language, the intermediate language, and the target language are all the same, the instant messaging application 111 displays the original message transmitted from the messenger server in the chat window of the instant messaging application as it is.

This process is repeatedly performed between the user terminals 110 until a session termination command is received, and the contents are the same as those of S115 to S129 above.

In this way, the present invention arranges translation tools on the client side and the server side respectively, the server side translates all languages into previously designated intermediate languages, and the client side translates the intermediate languages translated by the server into each target language preset by the user. are translating Accordingly, during 1:N multilingual chatting, the server does not need to translate one language into a multilingual language, the server translates only one designated intermediate language, and the other multilingual translations are translated into the target language set on each client side. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the distribution of the translation load by preventing the concentration of the translation load on servers.

<Confirmation of the original message>

Referring to FIG. 4 , the user who checks the secondary translation message 116 in the messenger chat window 114 in S130 of FIG. 3 confirms the original message and/or the primary translation message in order to accurately understand the contents of the message. A request can be made to the instant messaging application 111.

That is, for example, when the user selects the 'checking' icon 117 of the messenger chat window 114, the instant messaging application 111 temporarily stores the original message 116a and/or the primary translation message. (116b) is displayed on the messenger chat window 114 in parallel with the secondary translation message 116.

Accordingly, the user can check the original message (115 or 116a) sent from the chatting party or the primary translation message (116b) translated by the messenger server together with the second translation message (116) translated into the user's native language. do.

<Message Modification Request>

In spite of checking the original message or the primary translation message along with the secondary translation message translated into the set target language, if the user cannot accurately grasp the true meaning of the chatting partner's message, the user can request modification of the message. The reason why the true meaning of the message is not understood in the chatting process of the present invention can be regarded as an error in the translation process or an error in the original message itself.

Generally, errors in the translation process may be due to limitations of the machine translation itself by the translation program. For example, the user does not use standard language during chatting, uses dialect, slang, slang, or incorrect words that are difficult for machine translation, or phrases or polysemy that the translation program has not experienced (e.g., abdomen: abdomen, pear) , ship, trophy).

In this case, a request for modification of the message may be made to the user who sent the original message. That is, when a user who checks the primary translation message 116b or the original message 116a together with the secondary translation message 116 selects the 'edit' icon 118 of the messenger chat window 114, the instant messaging application ( 111) requests the messenger server 210 to modify the message (S210).

Accordingly, the connection management unit 211 of the messenger server 210 transmits the 'message modification' request of the chatting partner to the instant messaging application 111 of the user who sent the original message (S211).

The user who sent the original message recognizes that the original message includes phrases or terms that are difficult to machine translate (dialect, slang, slang, polysemy, wrong words, etc.) in the original message according to the 'message modification' request. Accordingly, the user who sent the original message inputs a 'modified message' in which the original message is changed into a more standard phrase or term into a messenger chat window (S212).

The connection management unit 211 of the messenger server 210 receives the 'correction message' input by the user in the first language (eg, Korean) in the user conversation session, and forwards it to the processing unit 213 (S214). ).

The processing unit 213 that has received the 'correction message' causes the first interlocking unit 215 to access the translation server (or translation engine) 220 and converts the 'correction message' into an intermediate language (eg, English). to be translated into Accordingly, the first interlocking unit 215 transfers the 'modified message' to the translation server 220 (S216), and the translation server 220 converts the first language of the 'modified message' into an intermediate language. The translated 'primary translation correction message' is returned to the processing unit 113 via the first interlocking unit 215 (S218).

After the processing unit 113 stores the corrected message and the primary translation corrected message together with the original message set (original message-first translation message-second translation message) in the database 214 (S220), access The primary translation correction message and the correction message are transmitted to the user terminals 110 of the users participating in the chat session through the management unit 211 (S222).

Upon receiving the first translation correction message and the correction message, the instant messaging application 111 of the user terminal 110 temporarily stores the correction message and the first translation correction message, and then calls the translation software program 112 to Translation of the primary translation correction message is requested (S224).

The translation software program 112 generates a second translation correction message by translating the intermediate language (eg, English) of the primary translation correction message into a target language (eg, French) previously set by the user. (S225).

The instant messaging application 111 displays the secondary translation correction message translated into the target language in the messenger chat window of the user terminal 111 of the corresponding user (S229), and sends it to the connection management unit 211 of the messenger server 210. The secondary translation correction message is delivered (S226). The processing unit 213 of the messenger server 210 binds the second translation correction message, the correction message, the first translation correction message, and the original message set (original message-first translation message-second translation message) and corrects them. A message set (original message - first translation message - second translation message - correction message - first translation correction message - second translation correction message) is created and stored in the database 214 (S228).

As in the original message confirmation procedure, by selecting the 'checking' icon 117, the correction message and/or the first translation correction message can be checked along with the second translation correction message.

If the user still cannot accurately grasp the true meaning of the message of the chatting partner despite checking the correction message or the first translation correction message together with the second translation correction message, the user may request correction of the message one more time.

This 'message modification request' can be made at least once, and all modified messages or modified translation messages generated in this process are stored in the database 214 as a 'modified message set' together with the original text message set.

<Collection of Deep Learning Data and Deep Learning>

The processing unit 213 of the messenger server 210 collects all 'modified message sets' generated through the at least one 'message modification' procedure described above and stores them in the database 214 (S228).

The basic unit of the 'modified message set' is 'original message-first translation message-second translation message-modified message-first translation correction message-second translation correction message'. If the correction procedure is performed more than once, In this case, the 'correction message set' may include all correction messages and translation correction messages generated in the second and subsequent correction processes in the basic unit.

When the message modification process is completed, the processing unit 213 of the messenger server 210 transfers the modified message set generated in the database 214 to the deep learning server 230 via the second linking unit 216. (S230).

The deep learning server 230 generates learning data by encoding and converting the set of correction messages into numeric data in a form in which an artificial intelligence engine can learn (S232). And, based on the learning data generated in this way, the AI engine is deeply trained to complete a translation correction module, which is a learned AI module (S234, S236).

This translation correction module is intended to compensate for limitations of machine translation of the translation server (translation engine) or translation software program, and improves translation accuracy for dialects, slang, slang, or polysemy in addition to standard language translation.

In this way, the present invention provides machine translation accuracy by deeply learning an artificial intelligence engine based on modified message data generated by user participation in a chatting process between users who speak different languages and translation data of the modified message. is compensating for Therefore, the accuracy of translation according to the present invention will gradually increase as more learning data for deep learning through the participation of users is accumulated through the real-time multilingual translation chatting system of the present invention.

Although the present invention has been described above with limited examples and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto and will be described below and the technical spirit of the present invention by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. Of course, various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the claims.
