Description

Table-mounted multilingual electronic dictionary for international airliners

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a table-mounted multilingual electronic dictionary used in an international airliner. In particular, a multilingual translation of an electronic dictionary is provided on a table provided at the front of each seat of an international airliner to communicate with a passenger using an international airliner. It relates to a table-mounted multilingual electronic dictionary used in an international airliner that can provide convenience.

Every day, international airliners fly between different countries, and passengers using them are of different nationalities and languages. So communication is a big problem. English is now considered the international official language, and stewardess serves passengers in English. However, some of the passengers do not know English, or even those who can speak English, it is difficult for them to hear and speak English because English is not their native language. Even people who can speak well-educated English sometimes can't easily think of the exact vocabulary they are trying to speak. Moreover, some of these vocabulary are associated with major vocabulary, but expressing it is beyond the ability of ordinary people.

For example, if a passenger in the cabin suffers from myocardial infarction and does not speak the correct vocabulary for the name of the disease, the passenger will not be able to be assisted by the stewardess, thereby making the situation more serious. It may be. It is also clear that passengers will experience great inconvenience due to the Kita language communication problem.

Some people who are ready to cope with these problems usually carry small dictionaries, but this is rather insufficient to completely solve the above problems.

An object of the present invention is to provide a convenience of language communication to passengers using an international airliner by providing a multi-language electronic dictionary on the table installed in the front of each seat of the international airliner to solve the above problems To provide multilingual electronic dictionaries for international airliners.

In order to solve the above problems, the apparatus of the present invention includes a command input unit for word input and control key input; Language selecting means for selecting one of a plurality of language modules in response to a control key input of the command input unit; Storage means for storing a plurality of languages; Display means for displaying a word input through said command input unit and a word read from said storage means; And controlling the language selection means to display on the display means a word input through the command input unit in response to a control key input of the command input unit, reading a second foreign language matching the input word and reading the word on the display means. And control means for controlling said storage means to display.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a multilingual electronic dictionary according to the present invention;

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a multilingual electronic dictionary, and as shown, a plurality of language modules in response to a command input unit 10 for word input and a control key input and a control key input of the command input unit 10. A language selecting unit 20 for selecting one of the plurality of languages; a storage unit 40 storing a plurality of languages; a display unit 60 displaying a word input through the command input unit 10 and a word read from the storage unit; And controlling the language selection unit 20 to display the word input through the command input unit 10 on the display unit 60 in response to the control key input of the command input unit 10, and matching the input word. And a control unit 80 for controlling the storage unit 40 to read the foreign language and display it on the display unit 60.

Referring to the operation of the multilingual dictionary configured as described above is as follows.

When a passenger using an international airliner does not come up with a foreign language expression to be delivered to a foreigner, an appropriate word corresponding to his or her native language is input through the command input unit 10. The command input unit 10 is composed of a keyboard and has a plurality of keys for providing a control function in addition to the alphanumeric keys.

When an appropriate word is input through the command input unit 10, the input word is displayed on the display unit 60. Then, when a control key for selecting a language to be translated is input, the language is selected in response to the control key input. The unit 20 selects a corresponding language from among a plurality of language modules. For miniaturization, the command input unit 10 and the display unit 60 are made together on a small table at the front of each seat.

The language module provided in the multilingual dictionary is divided into two groups, namely, a first group and a second group, and languages in the first group may be translated into any other language of the first group and the second group. The language of the group is translated only into the language of the first group.

Usually the first group contains two languages, one of which is English and the other of which is the official language used by airlines in their own countries. For example, the first group of Korean airliners are English and Korean. The second group usually includes other languages commonly used around the world, such as Chinese, French, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish.

The storage unit 40 stores the languages of the first and second groups in advance, and the controller 80 displays a word corresponding to a word input through the language selector 20 in response to a control key input. The storage unit 40 is controlled to be displayed at 60.

Although a good translation cannot be achieved by the above operation, it provides a reference that can at least express what the passengers themselves want to say easily.

In addition, the multilingual electronic dictionary can be combined with the voice synthesis module to help passengers correctly pronounce.

In addition, if the function of the multilingual electronic dictionary is expanded, that is, a network is built in the international passenger aircraft, the following convenience can be brought.

1) You can choose your favorite language when the announcement is announced by the crew.

2) Information about traffic, hotels, department stores, etc. can be provided to passengers, and if passengers can choose their preferred language, they will know their destination better.

3) By providing electronic games to passengers, it is possible to soothe the freeness of long trips.

Accordingly, in the present invention as described above, by providing an electronic dictionary capable of translating into multiple languages on the table installed at the front of each seat of the international airliner, providing the convenience of language communication to passengers using the international airliner, There is an effect that can be more beneficial.
