Description

Multilingual display and method {Method and apparatus for multilingual display}

The present invention relates to a multilingual display apparatus and method, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for displaying a multilingual display on one display screen.

English is supported in applications that support Korean, but cannot display Japanese or Chinese. Since the Indo-European language represented by English is a one-byte code system, it can be supported by the operating system itself, but it is a two-byte code system (Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Arabic, etc.). In the case of language code using), only one specific language is outputted normally, and all other languages are not displayed normally.

In other words, data entered by an operating system such as Japanese or Chinese Windows cannot be seen on Korean Widows.

In order to solve this problem, a program using a code conversion such as NJSTAR (hereinafter referred to as "NJSTAR") (product of NJSTAR CORP PTY LTD, Australia) has been proposed as a multilingual display device.

By the way, the NJSTAR can convert the code by selecting Japanese view or Chinese view in Korean code, but only the selected language is correctly displayed, and the language of the unselected 2-byte system cannot be solved.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems of the conventional multilingual display method. An object of the present invention is to provide a multilingual processing method and system for simultaneously displaying a language having two or more two-byte code systems on a computer screen. To provide.

Other purposes of the present invention may be various, but will be understood through the detailed description and drawings described below.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an input unit for inputting a sentence in a first language; A translation unit for translating the sentences in the first language into sentences in the second language; A second language capture unit for capturing a sentence in a second language translated by the translation unit as an image; A transmission unit which transmits the captured image; An output unit for outputting the captured image; It provides a multi-language display device including a multi-language information processing unit for sending a sentence input from the input unit to the translation unit, and receives the image transmitted from the transmission unit to be output from the output unit.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the output unit displays the sentence in the first language and the sentence in the second language captured as an image on one screen.

In the present invention, the translation unit preferably further includes a third language capturing unit for translating a sentence in a first language into a sentence in a third language and capturing the sentence in the third language as an image.

The present invention also includes translating a sentence in a first language into a sentence in a second language; Capturing the translated sentence in a second language into an image; It provides a multilingual display method comprising the step of displaying a sentence in a second language captured by the image on a computer screen.

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

1 is a block diagram illustrating a multilingual display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the multilingual display device includes an input unit 10, a translation unit 40, a capture unit 50, and a transmission unit 60. And a display unit 30 and a multilingual information processing unit 20 for controlling them.

The input unit 10 is an input device used in a conventional computer such as a keyboard, and inputs a sentence in a first language into the input unit. For example, the first language is called Korean, which is one of two-byte system languages.

For example, when the input sentence is "Busy from morning to evening," the multilingual information processing unit 20, that is, the control unit, the sentence in the first language input "Break from morning to evening." Send to 40).

The translation unit 40 translates the "busy from morning to evening" into a sentence in a second language, for example, in Japanese, and becomes "40 か ら 晩 ま で に ぎ や か だ". In addition, if necessary, the translation unit 40 translates it into a third language, a fourth language, a fifth language, and the like. For example, translate into Chinese, Thai, Arabic, etc. The translation unit 40 may use a translation program that has been variously presented in the related art, and detailed description thereof will be omitted since it is not the gist of the present invention.

On the other hand, when the second language is in English, it is translated into English as "I am busy from the morning to the evening." It may be put together, or the translation may be performed by a separate one-byte system language translation unit 40a.

The sentences translated into the second or third and fourth languages are stored as document files and sent to the corresponding second and third language capturing units 52 and 53, respectively, and the second and third language capturing units 52 and 53. Captures it as an image. The technique of capturing a document file as an image file is already introduced in various ways, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted. However, each capture unit should read the language correctly and capture it as an image if the language code is encoded according to the characteristics of each language.

Each translated sentence converted into an image file in each capture unit 50 is sent to the transfer unit 60, respectively.

The transmission unit 60 sends the image file to the multilingual information processing unit 20, and the multilingual information processing unit 20 sends the image file to the multilingual display unit 30, that is, a display screen such as a computer monitor for display. Done.

On the other hand, when the second language is English, which is a one-byte system, the translated sentence "I am busy from the morning to the evening." Is not captured as an image, but is sent directly to the multilingual information processing unit 20 to display it. do. Of course, even a one-byte system language can be captured as an image. However, since a one-byte system language can be supported in an operating system that supports a two-byte system, it is preferable not to capture it in consideration of processing speed.

As shown in FIG. 2, an example of an input sentence, that is, a Korean sentence "busy from morning to evening" is displayed as a character, and a sentence translated into English is also shown below. (As described above, of course, English may also be imaged), and other languages of a two-byte system such as Japanese and Chinese may be received from the image file and displayed at a specific location, thereby allowing a plurality of languages to be displayed on one screen. Another two-byte language is displayed.

On the other hand, when a sentence in a second language, that is, Japanese, is input to the input unit 10, the first language capture unit 51 encoded in Korean, which is the first language, is processed, and when a third language or the like is input. The same is true for.

For reference, in FIG. 2, a ** indicates that the scroll is viewed when the image size of the multilingual string displayed as a scroll bar is large.

In addition, the location where English and Japanese are displayed on the display screen 100 is already displayed by designating the coordinates in the multilingual information processing unit 20. That is, in English, (X2, Y2), Japanese, (X3, Y3), etc., set the coordinates at an appropriate position on the display screen 100, and the character or image file transmitted from the transmission unit 60, 60a. It will be displayed in the proper position on the screen.

As described above, according to the apparatus and method according to the present invention, a plurality of different 2-byte system languages can be simultaneously displayed on one display screen.

This invention can be used in a multilingual translation program, a multilingual chat program, etc., can be used in various types of applications, the web (www), etc., and can be used regardless of the operating system or code.

In addition, the present invention can be applied to a device having other display devices such as a wireless communication device, a portable electronic device, an automatic navigation system, and other communication support.
