Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[Technical field to which the present invention pertains] An interpreter center with a network of interpreters who are familiar with the relevant language and the relevant field is set up, and when an interpreter call applicant applies there,
A business that allows you to use interpreter calls in the relevant language and field from any location, regardless of the distance to the interlocutor.

[0002]

[Prior art]

Point 1 Conventional translators are usually performed by a speaker and an interpreter face to face. Point 2 With a conventional interpreter, even if you are using a telephone,
Prompt sequential and simultaneous translation was almost impossible. Point 3 In a conventional interpreter using a telephone or the like, during the conversation of the interpreter, the speakers cannot hear each other's voice. Point 4 In the conventional interpreter, the interpreter who can translate the required foreign language is selected, and they meet together or, if using a telephone, contact one of the speakers. It took a considerable amount of time. When choosing an interpreter, you must be knowledgeable not only in language but also in the field of interpreting, so the conventional method has been very difficult to select an interpreter. Point 5 In the conventional interpreting service, the calculation standard for fees was sometimes unclear.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

(Point 1) When a client wants to speak, almost any time, a mobile phone can be used to perform a conversation with an interpreter in a relevant field in a relevant field. (Point 2) Even in the case of translators using telephones, translators can be added sequentially or simultaneously, so that translators can be performed more quickly and with a sense of reality. The interpreter should convey not only the meaning of the words but also the mood of the speaker. (Point 3) While listening to the voice of the interpreter, it is possible to hear the voice of the translator translated by the interpreter, so that the safety of the actual translation is improved. (Point 4) Compared to the conventional interpreter, the client calls the center where interpreters who prepare for multiple foreign languages are waiting, and the interpreter connects the appropriate conversation with the client's desired partner. , So that you don't have to spend time in the preparation phase. (Point 5) Interpretation fee is set in two cases, one based on the conversation time between the client and the interpreter, and the other based on the conversation time by the three-way interpreter. The standard for calculating the fee is clear from the users. According to the present invention, the interpreter and the three-way communication system are closely linked, so that the interpreter can instantly speak with people from all over the world including the domestic one. It can be used in ordinary life and in all industries.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

[0005] (Point solution 1) By using a mobile phone capable of three-way communication, the interpreter has access to the interpreter center and has an interpreter network capable of handling various languages. By calling the other party at any time, it was possible to make translator calls in the relevant field in the relevant language at any time. (Point solution 2) Since the interpreter participates in the conversation as a part of the three-way call, it is possible to interpret not only after all the words of the speaker have been heard but also sequentially or simultaneously.
Interpretation that is close to the speaker's conversation method is possible. (Point solution 3) While listening to the interpreter's voice, the voice of the conversant translated by the interpreter also overlaps, and the sense of language voice, language, etc. are transmitted, and in addition to the meaning of words, the emotional state of the speaker I can tell things. (Point 4) Interpreters who prepare for multiple foreign languages are waiting at the interpreter center, or from the interpreter coordinator center to connect to an interpreter who has the required foreign language ability, use a telephone directory, etc. There is no need for labor and time such as selecting an interpreter suitable for yourself. (Point 5) Interpretation fees are set based on the conversation time between the client and the interpreter (briefing time) and based on the conversation time for the three-way interpreter call (interpretation call time). Therefore, the standard for calculating the fee is clear from the client.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0006] With the expansion of the interpreting network for immediate correspondence by the three-way telephone call system, for example, no one in the world knows the language of a traveler or staying person in the event of an emergency in the case of a traveler or staying person. Therefore, it can be said that the danger of delayed response can be avoided. When booking a local hotel for overseas travel, you can check the details you want to ask at any time. Even when the labor force of foreign people is engaged in the production field, mainly in Japan's primary and secondary industries, etc., it is not the nuance of telephone equipment in isolated distances, but the close distance where human voice can be heard At
A mobile phone can be given the meaning of an interpreter. Although it is virtually impossible for humans to learn multiple languages in a limited amount of time, the rapid establishment of an interpreter center and the use of this system by telecommunications machinery and equipment will make it possible in the future. In the current trend of multinationalization in the industrial setting, we believe that it will make a great contribution to removing language barriers. By having two portable telecommunications equipment such as when traveling overseas or traveling overseas, if you do not understand the language, you can lend one to the other party and use the three-way interpreter calling system described in this case. Through operation, communication can be achieved. Business Flow The flow from the first stage to the fourth stage below is the business from the request of the interpreter call applicant to the billing of the fee. Interpretation call form (1) "Interpretation call form"
The business flow and the form of behavior are (2) "business form" and at the same time, communication management is clearly applied to the charge calculation.
The calculation method for each stage is described as (3) “Calculation of fee”. First stage (1) "Call form" A client who wants to translate (call applicant) calls the interpreter center where the interpreter is waiting, and the connecting staff of the interpreter center receives the call. In this operation, a two-party call is naturally established between the call applicant and the interpreter. (2) “Business form” The connecting staff of the interpreting center undertakes the act of confirming the client's willingness to execute a three-way interpreting call from the client by calling the client who desires the interpreting call. At this point, a briefing should be given in advance to simplify the contents of the translation so that the contents of the subsequent telephone conversation can be accurately and accurately performed. deep.
For example, in this briefing, determining the subject of the interpreting call is not only useful in the second stage when talking about the purpose of the call and asking for acceptance of the call, but also for subtle nuances when interpreting. You can select words to be translated with a clear distinction. (3) “Calculation of Fee” At this point, the fee is calculated as a briefing time. The basis for calculating the briefing time charge is the call time and call charge between the two parties in the telephone company, and in conjunction with the automatic charge calculation system in the telephone company,
The interpreting company's automatic fee calculation system calculates the briefing fee. * See Fig. 1 Second stage (1) "Call form" The client tells him to call the desired overseas telephone partner, presses the transfer button on the telephone, presses the telephone number of the partner, and calls the partner. The telephone line between the original applicant and the interpreter is connected, but no call is made. The interpreter connects the line in order for the interpreter to apply for a conversation with the desired party, and confirms the willingness of the interpreter to accept the application if the connection is established. (2) "Business type" Execution of the business requested in the first stage Calls the telephone partner specified by the client, and is a telephone call from the interpreting center that is in charge of interpretation, and indicates that the client wants to talk. . (3) “Calculation of charges” It is time to calculate the interpreting charges from the time when the call is made to the other party. * See Fig. 2 Third stage (1) "Calling form" When the other party accepts the call, press the transfer button again to connect with the client, where the client wants to connect with the other party and the interpreting center The line of the staff and the line of the interpreter to be in charge are exchanged, and a three-way call is established. At this stage, the content of the call is not limited to the interpreter's words,
The system allows the client to hear the other party's voice at the same time. Interpretation work will be performed in this state. (2) "Business form" At this stage, a three-way telephone interpreter is established. (3) “Charge calculation” This is the time for which the interpreter charge is calculated based on the telephone charge and call time. * See Fig. 3 Fourth stage (1) "Call form" Termination of three-way call interpretation (2) "Business form" Termination of interpretation work (3) "Charge calculation" Call with interpreter's phone number and partner country Depending on the time, it is connected to the automatic charge calculation system in the telephone company, multiplies the normal telephone charge by a certain coefficient, and calculates the interpreter charge. An invoice will be sent to. * See Fig. 4

【The invention's effect】

[0007] According to the present invention, anyone can have a conversation with an interpreter in a required language and in a required field at any time, regardless of the distance to the speaker, and the charge calculation can be performed by the interpreter charge coefficient ×
Because it is a telephone company interpreter fee, the fee calculation is also bright.
