Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce a charge for using by connecting a specified backup device to a language translation device connected to a subscriber data processing device through an exchange network. CONSTITUTION:The subscriber data processing device 1 and a subscriber's telephone set terminal 3 are connected to the exchange network 5 through a switcher 2, and the language translation device 6 and a repeating device 9 are connected to the network 5, and the backup device 7 provided with a dictionary updating device 8 is connected to the device 6. Then, the device 7 is provided with a common dictionary, a professional dictionary and a user dictionary for a specified subscriber so as to make the backup of the device 6 at the time of its fault possible, and simultaneously, only the dictionary of a field required by the device 6 is transferred so as the realize economization.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of FF1J] The present invention relates to a language translation service system, and in particular, to a language translation service method improved to be applied as a value-added service for space-divided and time-divided electronic exchange systems. Regarding translation service methods.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, language translation involves inputting text written in the user's preferred language and converting it into the user's weaker language! This was done either by the user purchasing a language translation system or by connecting via a telephone line to a data processing center that had a language translation system.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In conventional language translation, when the user deals with many specialized fields and many languages, it is common to use an external data processing center to increase the size of the system. The condition for this use is to connect the user and the data processing center via the telephone exchange system, and the user will be charged a fee depending on the connection, and in the future, the user will be charged a fee depending on the connection distance. When a system is built, transitioning to a high-speed system becomes a problem for users. Furthermore, when transmitting the translation output to another person, the procedure of having the 11th user separately install a dedicated terminal and changing the data format of the translation output is complicated.

[Means to solve all problems]

The language translation service system of the present invention is connected to a subscriber data processing device via an exchange network, and translates character takes from the subscriber data processing device according to a language corresponding to an output language type to process the subscriber data. A translation dictionary backup configured to back up a language translation device sent to the device and a dictionary owned by the language translation device in the event of a failure, and to transfer only dictionaries of necessary fields from dictionaries divided by field to the language translation device. The present invention is characterized in that it comprises a dictionary update device that changes the contents of the dictionary included in the translation dictionary backup device.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the invention.

A subscriber who wishes to receive a language translation service makes a call from the telephone terminal 3, dials the special number code for receiving this service, a number string indicating the input language and output language, and a number string indicating the field of expertise, and then dials the number string indicating the field of expertise. Send your intention to receive service to the exchange system. In the telephone exchange system, an empty language translation device 6 is selected based on the dialed number, and the language translation device 6 is connected to the subscriber fi14 via the exchange network 5.

Simultaneously with the connection, the switching device 2 on the subscriber side switches the terminal from the telephone terminal 3 to the subscriber data processing device 1 based on the continuous sound in the audible range sent from the language translation device 6. Thereafter, the subscriber data processing device 1 sends the input character data in the language corresponding to the input language type to the language translation device 6, and the language translation i[6 translates it according to the language according to the output word type. It is sent back to the subscriber data processing device l. The user corrects it and sends it to the language translation device 6. Once a completely translated text has been obtained by repeating such communication, it can be sent via the relay device 9 and trunk line 10 by sending the telephone number of the communication partner to the language translation device 6. Sending to the communication partner is at the discretion of the user.

Next, the language translation device 6 in FIG. The performance of the translation dictionary backup device 7 and dictionary update device 8 will be explained with reference to FIG. In FIG. 2, the language translation device 6 includes a language recognition device 61 that converts character data sent from a telephone subscriber into a system internal code, a language generation device 62 that performs the reverse conversion, and a text take that has been converted into the system internal code. from a data processing device 63 that performs syntactic interpretation, assembly, and conversion into different languages, a primary storage device 64 for data processing, a common dictionary 65 that stores basic words, and a specialized dictionary 66 that stores words that differ by field. Become. The translation dictionary backup device 7 backs up the dictionaries of the language translation device 6 in the event of a failure, and divides the dictionaries that require a huge amount of storage capacity into categories, so that only the dictionaries in the necessary fields can be stored in the language translation device 6. The common dictionary 71. Specialized dictionary 72, 7
3 and a user dictionary 74 used for a particular service subscriber. The dictionary update device 8 changes the dictionary contents of the translation dictionary backup device 7, and includes an input/output device 81, a data processing device 82 for changing the dictionary, and a primary storage device for data processing. 8
Consists of 3.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, telephone users can use language translation at a low cost as a high value-added service of the telephone service.
