Description

  The present invention relates to a communication content translation processing method, a communication content translation processing program, and a recording medium for performing mutual translation between a basic language and another language during mutual communication through an electric communication line.

  Conventionally, when two languages are different when communicating with each other through a telecommunication line, such as a call (conversation) through a telephone line, a chat through an internet line, or a round-trip letter by E-Mail. Various translation functions for translating for understanding are well known.

  In this case, in the case of face-to-face conversations, if one of them has a translator, it is possible to establish a conversation and communicate even if they do not have language skills for the other party's language. Is possible.

  On the other hand, unlike E-Mail etc., where there is a time lag between receiving and replying, and translation can be performed during that time, such as calls and chats (including timelines of various SNSs), etc. It is necessary to realize two kinds of communication, that is, translation from a basic language to another language on the transmission side and translation from another language to the basic language at the time of reception.

  Therefore, even if they do not have a translator (translation function), they can listen to the voice and convert it into text data in order to realize a different language when sending and a basic language when receiving. A technique is known in which translated text data is generated and the text data is further read aloud to enable near real-time communication (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

As described above, the operation by the operation unit 8 that outputs the operation signal (command signal) to the control unit 6 will be generically described.

  The display unit 4 displays various function icons such as a telephone icon AP1 for executing a telephone function, an E-Mail icon AP2 for executing an E-Mail function, and a chat icon AP3 for executing a chat function. Is done.

  The storage unit 5 is a so-called ROM (Read Only Memory) or RAM (Random Access Memory), and realizes a computer function with the control unit 6.

  In addition, the storage unit 5 stores internal data, removable external storage using various media, online storage including cloud C by Internet connection, etc. as a storage location for data according to the usage form such as primary storage, etc. Can be included.

  In addition, the storage unit 5 may be referred to as an execution program (hereinafter referred to as “translation driver”) of a translation application (hereinafter simply referred to as “application”) downloaded through a telecommunication line (Internet connection line) NT, for example. Is stored in advance.

  Further, the storage unit 5 stores address information (address book) for displaying the name of the other party on the display unit 4 when a call is made or received by the telephone function in a table system.

  In this address information, in addition to the name for specifying the other party, the telephone number of the other party in the case of a telephone function, and the E-Mail address (including the domain name of the other party in the case of an E-Mail function by Internet connection) ), An SNS function that is a community-based membership system service can include member registration information (appropriate member public data under personal information protection) with the service provider.

  Such personal information is appropriate and indispensable information when using each function, and is information that can specify a country and a language.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, the control unit 6 of the communication terminal 1 receives, from the reception interface (I / F) 9, reception data when a radio wave is received by a built-in antenna (not shown), for example. . Similarly, the control unit 6 transmits transmission data when transmitting a radio wave by the built-in antenna to the transmission interface (I / F) 10.

  The control unit 6 controls the voice recognition unit 11, the voice generation unit 12, the character recognition unit 13, and the character generation unit 14 for communication content translation processing using a translation driver, and transmits / receives voice data or text data. .

  The voice recognition unit 11 receives voice data based on the voice input by the user to the voice input unit 2 or voice data received via the reception interface 9. The voice recognition unit 11 has a reading function for analyzing the voice data.

  The voice generation unit 12 uses voice data output from the voice output unit 3 or voice data transmitted from the transmission interface 10 based on voice data output from the voice recognition unit 11 or text data output from the character recognition unit 13. To generate. The voice generation unit 12 has a reading function for outputting the generated voice data from the voice output unit 3.

  Text data based on character input touched by the user on the display unit 4 or text data received via the reception interface 9 is input to the character recognition unit 13. The character recognition unit 13 recognizes the character data code of the text data.

  The character generation unit 14 generates text data to be displayed on the display unit 4 or text data to be transmitted from the transmission interface 10 based on voice data output from the speech recognition unit 11 or text data output from the character recognition unit 13. Generate a character data code.

  In such a basic configuration, the control unit 6 sets the language (for example, Japanese) set by the operating system stored in the storage unit 5 as a basic language that is normally used by the user, and stores the address stored in the storage unit 5 by the translation driver. The language (for example, English) used by the communication partner included in the personal information of the information is set as another language to be translated.

  The other language is not limited to one language, and can be a language according to the type of translation driver. Therefore, the translation driver can use one or more stored in the storage unit 5.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, when the user selects the chat icon AP3 displayed on the display unit 4 of the communication terminal 1, the control unit 6 activates the chat function and causes the display unit 4 to display a chat screen.

  At this time, if the other party selects the other party from the other party selection screen associated with the chat function, it is possible to automatically identify whether the other party uses the basic language or the other language. Thereby, when the other party is a user who uses another language, the control unit 6 executes a function of translating the corresponding used language into another language.

  In the following description, the communication terminal 21 used by the other party is also a smartphone including a voice input unit 22 and a voice output unit 23 and a display unit 24 for realizing a display function. At this time, it is assumed that no translation application is installed in the communication terminal 21.

  Also, in the following explanation, for convenience of explanation, input / output on words such as voice and characters is indicated by “XX”, input / output on screen display is indicated by [XX], and data processing The above input / output is indicated by <XX>.

  Further, since the text data is a character code, it is also referred to as a simple “code” or “character code” in the following description. The voice data or text data is also simply referred to as “voice” or “text” (or “character” converted for display).

  Here, the user refers to the character input pad displayed at the bottom of the screen of the display unit 4 and performs a touch operation, for example, “Tone? ”Is entered in the upper right of the screen of the display unit 4 with a frame [a tone? ] Is displayed. The character code data processing at this time uses known processing.

  On the other hand, the control unit 6 recognizes the character code input by the character recognition unit 13, and generates a character code (for example, <How have you been>) in another language from the recognized character code using a translation driver. The control unit 6 transmits the generated character code <How have you been> to the communication terminal 21 of the other party via the transmission interface 10.

  Based on the received character code <How have you been>, the communication terminal 21 (the control unit) of the other party displays the character [How have you been] on the upper left side of the screen of the display unit 24 in the chat method.

  In response to this, when the other party inputs the reply characters “so and so”, the letters “so and so” are displayed on the upper right of the display unit 24 of the communication terminal 21 owned by the other party. The character code <so and so> is transmitted.

  The control unit 6 of the communication terminal 1 that has received the character code <so and so> causes the character recognition unit 13 to recognize the character code <so and so>, and then translates the character code <maamaa>. > Is generated. Further, the control unit 6 displays a character [maama] on the upper left of the screen of the display unit 4.

  As described above, with respect to the mutual communication between the text data and the text data between the communication terminal 1 and the communication terminal 21, the language used by the partner is another language, and the translation application is installed in the partner communication terminal 21. Even if not, communication can be easily established.

  In addition to the above, the control unit 6 that enables such a basic translation function includes a speech translated into another language by simply inputting either speech or characters in the basic language using its own communication terminal 1. Output and character notation can be realized in the communication terminal 21 of the other party.

  In addition, the control unit 6 causes the communication terminal 1 to realize the voice output and the character notation translated into the basic language only by inputting either one of speech or characters in another language using the communication terminal 21 by the other party. be able to.

  Hereinafter, an example of the case of voice input in the communication terminal 1 (see FIG. 3) and the case of character input in the communication terminal 1 (see FIG. 4) will be described. Here, the communication terminal 1 uses a chat application with voice or a telephone application with character display. Note that a translation with a character output function may be additionally programmed in a mode to a normal telephone application (phone icon AP1).

  Similarly, a translation with a voice function may be additionally programmed in a mode in a normal chat application (chat icon AP3). Further, it is assumed that when the user starts up these applications and designates a partner, the control unit 6 determines to translate based on information stored in the address data.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the user inputs “tone” to the voice input unit 2, the control unit 6 causes the voice recognition unit 11 to read the voice and generate a voice <tone>. To do.

  Next, the control unit 6 causes the character generation unit 14 to generate a character <tone> on the basis of the read voice <tone> and causes the display unit 4 to display the character [tone]. The translated character <How have you been> is generated and the character [How have you been] is displayed on the display unit 4. Further, the control unit 6 causes the voice generation unit 12 to generate a voice <How have you been> based on the generated character <How have you been>.

  Thereby, the control unit 6 superimposes the generated three data, the character <tone>, the character <How have you been>, and the voice <How have you been>, from the transmission interface 10 to the communication terminal 21. Send to.

  Based on the received data, the communication terminal 21 displays the pre-translation characters [Tone Doo] and the post-translation characters [How have you been] on the display unit 24 and the voice “How have you been”. Output from the output unit 23.

  As described above, the communication terminal 21 can acquire three data of the character <Tone Doo>, the character <How have you been>, and the voice <How have you been> even if the translation application is not installed. Can do.

  On the other hand, when the user of the communication terminal 21 inputs “so and so” to the voice input unit 22 in response to the voice “How have you been”, the voice <so and so> is transmitted to the communication terminal 1. To do.

  When the reception unit 9 receives the voice <so and so>, the control unit 6 of the communication terminal 1 causes the voice recognition unit 11 to recognize the voice <so and so>.

  Thereby, the control unit 6 causes the character generation unit 14 to generate the characters <so and so> and causes the display unit 4 to display the characters [so and so], and also generates and displays the translated characters <maamaa>. The character “maamaa” is displayed in part 4. Further, the control unit 6 causes the voice generation unit 12 to generate a voice <maamaa> based on the generated character <maaama>, and causes the voice output unit 3 to output the transliterated voice “maaamaa”.

  As described above, the communication terminal 21 generates three data of the characters <so and so>, the characters <so and so>, and the voice <maama>, and expands them on the display unit 4 and the audio output unit 3, respectively. The user can be made aware.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the user inputs a character “tone” using the character input pad displayed on the display unit 4, the control unit 6 causes the character recognition unit 13 to recognize the character code.

  Next, based on the character <tone>, the control unit 6 causes the character generator 14 to generate the character <tone> and display the character [tone] on the display unit 4 and translate it. The character <How have you been> is generated and the character [How have you been] is displayed on the display unit 4.

  Further, the control unit 6 causes the voice generation unit 12 to generate a voice <How have you been> based on the generated character <How have you been>.

  Thereby, the control unit 6 superimposes the generated three data, the character <tone>, the character <How have you been>, and the voice <How have you been>, from the transmission interface 10 to the communication terminal 21. Send to.

  Based on the received data, the communication terminal 21 displays the pre-translation characters [Tone Doo] and the post-translation characters [How have you been] on the display unit 24 and the voice “How have you been”. Output from the output unit 23.

  As described above, the communication terminal 21 can acquire three data of the character <Tone Doo>, the character <How have you been>, and the voice <How have you been> even if the translation application is not installed. Can do.

  On the other hand, when the user of the communication terminal 21 inputs “so and so” and voice (or “so and so”) to the voice input unit 22 in response to the voice “How have you been”, the voice <so and so> (or characters <so and so>) are transmitted to the communication terminal 1.

  When the reception unit 9 receives the voice <so and so> (or the character <so and so>), the control unit 6 of the communication terminal 1 causes the voice recognition unit 11 to generate the voice <so and so> (or the character recognition unit 13). To recognize the characters <so and so>).

  Thereby, the control unit 6 causes the character generation unit 14 to generate the characters <so and so> and causes the display unit 4 to display the characters [so and so], and also generates and displays the translated characters <maamaa>. The character “maamaa” is displayed in part 4.

  Further, the control unit 6 causes the voice generation unit 12 to generate a voice <maamaa> based on the generated character <maaama>, and causes the voice output unit 3 to output the translated voice “maaamaa”.

  As described above, the communication terminal 21 generates three data of the characters <so and so>, the characters <so and so>, and the voice <maama>, and expands them on the display unit 4 and the audio output unit 3, respectively. The user can be made aware.

  Next, a specific routine executed by the control unit 6 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  As described above, the communication terminal 1 preinstalls a translation application that performs mutual translation between the basic language and another language in the storage unit 5 and stores an address book.

(Step S1)
In step S <b> 1, the control unit 6 receives the designation of the communication application by the operation of the operation unit 8 by the user, refers to the address book corresponding to the communication application from the storage unit 5, and causes the display unit 4 to display the address book. The process proceeds to step S2.

(Step S2)
In step S2, the control unit 6 determines whether or not a call destination (communication partner) designation operation has been performed by a user operation. When it is determined that the call destination has been designated (Yes), the control unit 6 proceeds to step S3.

  On the other hand, if the control unit 6 does not determine that the call destination has been specified (No), the control unit 6 continues this routine until the call destination is specified (or until another application is operated). Monitor. Then, the control unit 6 establishes communication (here, a telephone function) with the designated call destination.

(Step S3)
In step S3, the control unit 6 specifies the call destination based on the call destination designated by the user, analyzes the address information corresponding to the call destination, and proceeds to step S4.

(Step S4: Step for identifying other languages)
In step S4, the control unit 6 specifies the country or language including whether the language used by the communication partner is a basic language or another language based on the analyzed address information, and proceeds to step S5.

  In the following description, it is assumed that the language used by the communication partner in step S4 is specified as another language.

(Step S5: Communication content reception step)
In step S5, the control unit 6 accepts at least one input of voice data or text data in the basic language as transmission reference data via the voice input unit 2 or the display unit 4 as input means, and the process proceeds to step S6. Transition.

(Step S6: Translation into other languages)
In step S6, the control unit 6 activates the translation application, translates the transmission reference data received in step S5 into voice data and text data in other languages, generates transmission data, and proceeds to step S7.

  If the voice input from the voice input unit 2 is input in step S5, the control unit 6 recognizes the voice data in the basic language, which is the transmission reference data received by the voice input unit 2, and stores it in the storage unit 5. Start the listening application installed in advance.

  And in this step S6, the control part 6 will perform the basic text data production | generation step which produces | generates the basic text data by the basic language for producing | generating the transmission data which consists of text data by another language.

  On the other hand, if the character input is from the display unit 4 in step S5, the control unit 6 recognizes the text data in the basic language, which is the transmission reference data received from the display unit 4, and is installed in the storage unit 5 in advance. Start the reading application.

  And in this step S6, the control part 6 will perform the basic audio | voice data production | generation step which produces | generates the basic audio | voice data by the basic language for producing | generating the transmission data which consist of audio | voice data by another language.

(Step S7: Transmission step)
In step S7, the control unit 6 transmits the transmission data translated in step S6 from the transmission interface 10 as a transmission means through the telecommunication line, and proceeds to step S8.

  In addition, in step S7, when the transmission reference data received by the display unit 4 is text data in the basic language, the control unit 6 adds the text data in the basic language in addition to the transmission data in the speech data in the other languages that have been translated. May be transmitted in a superimposed manner.

  In addition, since the communication state (call state) with the other party is established in step S2, the user completes the transmission in step S3 to step S7 (until the word is exhausted or the other party receives data). ) A cancel step may be executed (accepted) to depress the switch 7 and prevent interruption from the other party. As a result, voice turbidity (translation turbidity) can be suppressed.

(Step S8)
Next, the control unit 6 determines whether or not there is reception from the other party. In addition, the control part 6 can also receive the communication content from a user as interruption by the routine of step S5 continuously. If it is determined that there is a reception from the other party (Yes), the control unit 6 proceeds to step S9.

  On the other hand, if the control unit 6 does not determine that there is a reception from the other party (No), the control unit 6 continues to monitor this routine or the interruption in step S5.

(Step S9: Reception step)
In step S9, the control unit 6 receives voice data or text data in another language from the communication partner as reception reference data by the reception interface 9 as a reception unit through the telecommunication line, and proceeds to step S10.

(Step S10)
In step S10, the control unit 6 specifies whether the received data is text data or voice data, and proceeds to step S11.

(Step S11)
In step S11, the control unit 6 determines an output method, that is, whether to perform character analysis or voice analysis, based on the received data, and proceeds to step S12.

(Step S12: Basic verbalization translation step)
In step S12, the control unit 6 activates the translation application, translates the reception reference data received in step S9 into speech data and text data in a basic language, generates reception data, and proceeds to step S13.

(Step S13: Communication content output step)
In step S13, the control unit 6 outputs the received data translated in step S12 through the audio output unit 3 and the display unit 4 as output means and outputs the characters and ends this routine. The control unit 6 thereafter repeats the above routine until the communication (call) is completed.

  As described above, the communication content translation processing method, the communication content translation processing program, and the recording medium according to the present embodiment can communicate with one of the voice and characters input to the communication terminal 1. The speech and characters translated into 21 can be output.

  In addition, in response to transmission of either voice or text from the communication partner communication terminal, the translated voice and text can be output to the communication terminal 1.

  Here, the character before translation which is the basic language of the communication terminal 1 and the communication terminal 21 can also be transmitted / received mutually.

  In addition to the above, the methods according to the above embodiments may be used in appropriate combination.
