Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device, in particular a Interpreter desk, as well as a method for processing acoustic Real-time information which one person, in particular an interpreter, according to the generic term of claims 1 and 7.
  • An apparatus and a method of this type is for example known from DE-A-35 10 477.
  • This well-known Interpreter system is suitable for the translation of N languages, where at least N-1 interpreting units and one Operator console are provided. It is ensured that an interpreter's headphones automatically always go to that one Line connects from which the interpreter to translate and the interpreter's microphone always connects to the line to which the interpreter translated.
  • the well-known interpreting system can however, the following difficulty for the individual interpreter occur:
  • the interpreter When interpreting, the interpreter is usually in a soundproof cabin and tried the executions the speaker in the conference room as well as possible follow in order to then interpret them simultaneously.
  • the interpreter itself has no way of speed to influence the speaker. If a speaker speaks indistinctly, it gets tangled or is, for example, technical terms not immediately familiar to the interpreter, so the interpreter has to omit statements since he does not Can put questions to the speaker. The corresponding Information to be found in the explanations pays off listeners instructed in this way lost.
  • the aim of the invention is an apparatus and a method for processing real-time acoustic information create, in which such communication problems largely avoided.
  • the device at least a means of time shifting the received acoustic Information versus real-time transmission.
  • the inventive method is the received acoustic Information repeated and compared to that received in real time and transmitted information in the same order transmitted with a time delay.
  • the acoustic information received in the following that information can be understood that the Interpreter is offered so that he can process them simultaneously.
  • the acoustic real-time information would be from a speaker, for example information transmitted through an interpreter desk.
  • the interpreter leaves the delayed transmission and in this way fits the received acoustic Information timed to the acoustic real-time information on. This way it can be done easily and after a short time the received acoustic information again in real time process and thus directly to the statements of the speaker react.
  • the means for time shifting particularly preferably comprise a digital of the received acoustic information Time module, in particular a semiconductor memory 2).
  • a memory can be in the manner of a Record flight recorders in an airplane permanently.
  • Of the Memory is capable of a few seconds with good playback quality (at least 8000 Hertz) to record endlessly. It receives further incoming real-time information the same time offset if the semiconductor memory is activated.
  • means for individual Setting the time offset provided (claim 3).
  • the interpreter can be directly on Interpreter's desk striking, longer pauses in speech of the person to be interpreted Hire speakers. The interpreter can pretty much at the beginning of a lecture on each "Import" speakers. This makes him more individual Time to identify unrecognized information commanded.
  • the device according to the invention particularly preferably has Switch for activating or deactivating the Time shift on.
  • the interpreter is responsible the activity of adapting its information to be processed to the real-time acoustic information. He can react immediately to communication problems. Preferably serve him when activating or deactivating the time-shifted transmission means for displaying the time shift, in particular its amount (claim 4). With With the help of these funds, he can determine at any time whether and to what extent there is a time lag. Especially is advantageous when using a time offset several times an overview of how far the interpreter is still from the real-time acoustic real-time information transmitted stops in time. For this, means to display the time offset in the form of individual LEDs, however also provided in the form of LED strips. Especially for LED strips, the visual representation of a time amount optimally possible.
  • At least the device is the semiconductor memory partly a voice mailbox for external messages (Claim 5). So an external message can be sent to the interpreter be stored, for example, such that a There is a message for him or another interpreter should contact. This is particularly important when the message arrives, but the interpreter at that time busy with his interpreting is. After this activity is finished, you can the interpreter then stores the stored external message eavesdrop
  • the device according to the invention particularly preferably has Means for displaying the presence of a message in the Voice mail and / or means for retrieving the message on (claim 6). This enables the interpreter to do his personal message intended for him - upon recognition of her Present - call at the most convenient time.
  • Procedure is the delayed received Information to the information transmitted in real time adjusted again in time (claim 8).
  • This "repetition" of real-time information is necessary because the interpreter at too great a time deviation from that transmitted in real time Information the current overview of the designs of the speaker loses.
  • Simultaneous interpreting creates almost simultaneous perception the processed information by the audience significantly affected. The unusual arises with the audience Impression, two unrelated To hear speakers. So that this impression is not with the audience arises, the amount of the time offset amounts to about 5 to 7 seconds (claim 11).
  • Fig. 1 shows a section of a known interpreter desk 1 with the components essential to the invention.
  • a known interpreter desk 1 is for example known from DE-U-87 06 262 by the applicant.
  • the section of this interpreter desk 1 serves the components to be explained, based on the invention describe.
  • the section of the interpreter desk 1 shows one known input switch 2, a 15-step rotary switch 3 to select the respective channel, a pitch control 4 and a volume control 5, by means of which the volume of an optionally connectable headphone is adjustable.
  • a pitch control 4 and a volume control 5, by means of which the volume of an optionally connectable headphone is adjustable.
  • these are components Can be changed as far as they are in the present case do not touch the essence of the invention.
  • the pitch control from separate height and depth controls consist.
  • a button 6 or toggle switch is used by the interpreter to the signals received by the speaker are offset in time to recieve.
  • the Switch 6 be designed so that it is only touched once and thereby retrieves the time shift. A further tapping of the switch 6 then causes the Interpreter receives again in real time. This is beneficial the pause during the speaker's pauses.
  • a light-emitting diode 7 shows the interpreter whether he is now received information virtually in real time or with a time delay receives.
  • the LED 7 preferably lights up Time shift on. If switch 6 is deactivated, then LED 7 then goes out.
  • Signals or Real-time signals 10 for example in the form of an original signal a speaker or translations of this Signals first arrive at an analog switch 11.
  • This switch 11 which is known per se, makes a specific one Signal selected.
  • This real-time signal goes through an amplifier 12 and arrives via a line 13 and a switch closed in the example shown 14 to a node 15.
  • This node 15 is then of interest, if, for example, an external line 16 Message is fed.
  • the signal is sent through an amplifier 17 to a headphone 18 of the not shown
  • a real time signal relayed by amplifier 12 this no longer runs via line 13 to node 15, but via line 20 and a time module 21.
  • This causes the received real-time signals after Kind of an "endless belt" for a previously set period of time transferred back.
  • Via a line 22 the received real-time signal is also simultaneously a device 23 for displaying pauses in speech Speakers fed. From this known device The light-emitting diode 8 is activated to indicate pauses in speech, when there is a pause.
  • the time-shifted signal is transmitted via the closed switch 19, a line 25, the node 15 and via the amplifier 17. Finally, the signal received by the interpreter's headphones 18.
  • the activation and deactivation of the device 23 for displaying Pauses in speech are given by switch 19. As the interpreter the speaking pauses of the speaker is displayed, he can estimate at any time when the opportunity arises leave the time shift and again the real-time signal to interpret.
  • Fig. 3 shows again the sequence of the invention Procedure.
  • the interpreter hears it in real time transmit real-time information. He decides whether he should understood the last information or not. He has it understood, he usually interprets that simultaneously Real-time original of the information.
