FIG. 5 conceptually illustrates a process in which the interpretation broker 103 allocates an interpretation terminal 400 according to FIG. 2 . Referring to FIG. 5 , the interpretation intermediary unit 103 may provide a user interface on which a list of interpretation terminals 400 is displayed on the user terminal. In addition, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 provides a user interface in the form of a chat window through which a user terminal and other user terminals can input text, and the selected interpretation terminal 400 can translate and input the input text. It can be provided to the user terminal, other user terminals, and the interpretation terminal 400 .

In the case of a language with a large population, such as English or Chinese, there are relatively many interpreters, but in the case of a language with a small population, there are relatively few interpreters. Therefore, a problem may arise in which the user feels inconvenience in using the service because the user cannot find an interpreter who will interpret at the time when the user wants the interpretation service. In addition, even when there is an excessive time difference between countries that use the two languages to be interpreted as their mother tongues, users feel uncomfortable using the service because they cannot find an interpreter at the time they want the interpretation service. It can be.

A trading platform service according to an embodiment of the present invention provides an interpreter matching method capable of solving the above problems.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which the interpretation intermediary unit 103 according to FIG. 2 allocates interpretation terminals 400 to user terminals that have requested interpretation for trade negotiations.

First, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 is an interpretation terminal 400 in which one of the first language and the second language is set as the native language and the other language is set as the foreign language and the connection state is set to the active state in the database. The terminal 400 is searched (S221).

If the searched first interpretation terminal 400 exists, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 provides a list of first interpretation terminals 400 to the user terminal (S223).

When the searched first interpretation terminal 400 does not exist, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 searches the database for a first standard time corresponding to the first language and a second standard time corresponding to the second language, and searches the database for the first standard time. A first time difference between the time and the second standard time is calculated (S224).

In addition, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 searches the database for a plurality of second interpretation terminals 400, which are a plurality of interpretation terminals 400 for which the first language is set as the mother tongue, and corresponds to the second interpretation terminals 400. A plurality of set foreign languages are searched and a first search number for each of the foreign languages is calculated (S225). For example, 1000 second interpretation terminals 400 in which the first language is French and French is set as the native language are searched, 200 of the second interpretation terminals 400 are set to English as a foreign language, and 300 of the second interpretation terminals 400 are set to Spanish. Assume that 200 are set to German as a foreign language, and 300 are set to Chinese as a foreign language. In this case, the number of first searches for English is 200, the number of first searches for Spanish is 300, the number of first searches for German is 200, and the number of first searches for Chinese is 300.

Also, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 determines whether the first disparity is greater than a preset reference disparity (S226).

When the first time difference is greater than the preset reference time difference, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 determines the second interpretation terminal 400 among the second interpretation terminals 400 in which the third language is set as a foreign language and the connection state is set to the active state. ) and a list of third interpretation terminals 400 are provided to the user terminal (S227). A detailed description of step S227 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 7 later.

When the first time difference is smaller than the preset reference time difference, the interpretation broker 103 determines that the fourth interpretation terminal 400 among the fourth interpretation terminals 400 is set to a foreign language and the connection state is set to an active state. ) and a list of second interpretation terminals 400 of which the fourth language is set as a foreign language and the connection state is set to an active state among the second interpretation terminals 400 are provided to the user terminal (S228). A detailed description of step S228 will be described later with reference to FIG. 8 .

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a specific process of step S228 of FIG. 5 .

Referring to FIG. 7 , the interpretation intermediary unit 103 searches the database for a plurality of third standard times corresponding to foreign languages, and based on the difference between the first standard time and each of the third standard times, each of the foreign languages and A corresponding second parallax is calculated (S2271).

In addition, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 determines, among the foreign languages, a foreign language in which the second disparity is less than the predetermined reference disparity and the number of first searches is the largest as the third language (S2272).

For example, based on the difference between the first standard time for Korean and the third standard time for each of French, German, English, and Chinese, the second time difference for each of French, German, English, and Chinese is 8 hours, 8 Assume that it is calculated as time, 14 hours and 1 hour, and the reference time difference is set to 7 hours. In this case, the foreign language in which the second disparity is smaller than the preset reference disparity and the number of first searches is greatest is Chinese, and Chinese may be determined as the third language.

In addition, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 searches the database for a third interpretation terminal 400 that is an interpretation terminal 400 in which the third language is set as the native language, the second language is set as the foreign language, and the connection state is set to the active state. It does (S2273).

In addition, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 includes a list of second interpretation terminals 400 of which the third language is set as a foreign language and the connection state is set to the active state among the second interpretation terminals 400, and the third interpretation terminal ( 400) is provided to the user terminal (S2274).

In one embodiment, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 may receive inputs for selection of the second interpretation terminal 400 included in the list and selection of the third interpretation terminal 400 included in the list from the user terminal. there is.

Through this, even if an interpreter who can speak both the first language and the second language requested by the interpretation service cannot be found due to too much time difference, the interpreter who speaks the first language as the native language and the third language as the foreign language By assigning an interpreter who speaks the third language as a native language and the second language as a foreign language, it is possible to smoothly provide an interpretation service to the user.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a detailed process of step S229 of FIG. 5 .

Referring to FIG. 8 , the interpretation intermediary unit 103 searches for a plurality of fourth interpretation terminals 400, which are a plurality of interpretation terminals 400 for which the second language is set as the mother tongue, and selects the fourth interpretation terminals 400. A plurality of foreign languages set in correspondence with are searched for, and the number of second searches for each of the foreign languages is calculated (S2281).

For example, 1000 second interpretation terminals 400 in which the first language is Japanese and Japanese is set as the native language are searched, 200 of the second interpretation terminals 400 are set to English as a foreign language, and 300 of the second interpretation terminals 400 are set to Spanish. Assume that 200 are set to German as a foreign language, and 300 are set to Chinese as a foreign language. In this case, the number of first searches for English is 200, the number of first searches for Spanish is 300, the number of first searches for German is 200, and the number of first searches for Chinese is 300.

For example, 1000 fourth interpretation terminals 400 in which the second language is Korean and Korean is set as the mother tongue are searched, 100 of the fourth interpretation terminals 400 are set to English as a foreign language, and 400 are set to Spanish. Assume that 100 are set to German as a foreign language, and 400 are set to Chinese as a foreign language. In this case, the number of first searches for English is 100, the number of first searches for Korean is 400, the number of first searches for German is 100, and the number of first searches for Chinese is 400.

In addition, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 calculates a third search number for each of the foreign languages by determining a smaller one of the first search number and the second search number as the third search number (S2282).

For example, when the first search number for English is 200 and the second search number is 100, the third search number for English may be determined to be 100. Also, when the first search number for Spanish is 300 and the second search number is 400, the third search number for Spanish may be determined to be 300. Also, when the first search number for German is 200 and the second search number is 100, the third search number for German may be determined to be 100. Also, when the first search number for Chinese is 300 and the second search number is 400, the third search number for Chinese may be determined to be 300.

Also, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 determines a foreign language having the largest number of third searches among the foreign languages as the fourth language (S2283).

In one embodiment, when there are a plurality of foreign languages having the highest number of third searches, one of the foreign languages having the largest number of third searches may be determined as the fourth language. For example, when the number of third searches for English, Spanish, German, and Chinese is 100, 300, 100, and 300, either Spanish or Chinese may be determined as the fourth language.

In addition, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 includes a list of fourth interpretation terminals 400 among the fourth interpretation terminals 400 in which the fourth language is set as a foreign language and the connection state is set to an active state, and the second interpretation terminal 400 ), a list of second interpretation terminals 400 in which the fourth language is set as a foreign language and the connection state is set to an active state is provided to the user terminal (S2284).

In one embodiment, the interpretation intermediary unit 103 may receive inputs for selection of the fourth interpretation terminal 400 included in the list and selection of the second interpretation terminal 400 included in the list from the user terminal. there is.

Through this, even if an interpreter who can speak both the first language and the second language requested by the interpretation service cannot be found, an interpreter who speaks the first language as the native language and the fourth language as the foreign language and the second language as the native language By assigning an interpreter who speaks the fourth language as a foreign language, it is possible to smoothly provide an interpretation service to the user.
