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

1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a translation service mediation apparatus to which the present invention is applied, wherein a client computer 11a to 11b to request a translation is connected to a translation brokerage server 30 of a service provider through the Internet 21a. The client's wireless terminals 12a to 12b are connected to the server 30 via the wireless communication network 22a.

In addition, the translator's computers 41a to 41b which are to receive the translation are connected to the translation brokerage server 30 of the service provider via the Internet 21b, and the translator's wireless terminals 42a to 42b are connected to the wireless communication network 22b. Is connected to the translation brokerage server 30 of the service provider.

Meanwhile, the translation mediation server 30 includes a client database 31 and a translator database 32. The client database 31 stores member information of the client and translation information requested by the client. The translator database 32 stores member information such as the education and career of the translator, the integrity of the translator and the translation information received by the translator.

The translation mediation server 30 stores the data provided by the client or the translator in the database 31 or 32 or reads the data stored in the database 31 or 32 to the client or translator 33. The information management module 33 includes a client or translator through a mail transmission module 34 connected to the Internet 21a and 21b and a wireless communication module 35 connected to the wireless communication networks 22a and 22b. Communication with the computers 11a to 11b, 41a to 41b, or the wireless terminals 12a to 12b and 42a to 42b.

Next, a translation service mediation method according to the present invention applied to the mediation apparatus configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

First, a client who wants to request a translation and a translator who wants to receive a translation must sign up as a member in order to receive the service according to the present invention. As such, the member information of the client and the translator registered as a member is stored in the databases 31 and 32. Each is stored.

That is, in the client database 31, member information such as a client's unique number (ID), password, address, contact information, etc. are stored, and a cyber cash account used for payment of a translation fee is opened. Therefore, the client may purchase a cyber cash with credit card or cash as necessary to recharge his account.

On the other hand, the translator database 32 stores member information such as the translator's unique number (ID), password, address, contact information, education, career. In addition, the database 32 opens a cyber cash account to be deposited according to the translation and stores data related to the translator's sincerity which will be described later.

Translator sincerity is an important factor for determining a translation ratio distribution ratio between a service provider and a translator, as shown in FIG. 3, and is calculated through Equation 1 below. In this embodiment, 34-76.5% of the total translation ratio is provided to the translator according to the integrity of the translator. In the figure, prepaid represents VAT, card fee, and the like.

[Equation 1]

Sincerity (100) = Order Application Index (35) + Bulletin Board Index (35) + Quality Evaluation Index (30)

Here, the order application index is an index proportional to the number of applications for ordering translations, the bulletin board index is an index proportional to the number of times the article is posted on the bulletin board, and the quality evaluation index is an index proportional to the translation quality evaluated by the client. Meaning, the sincerity can be added or subtracted according to the compliance of the delivery date.

On the other hand, translators registered as members are classified and managed according to education, career, and the like. That is, as described in Table 1 as an example, in the present embodiment, translators are classified and managed by five groups for each language.

[Table 1] Translator Classification by Education, Experience

group Education and career C group College or higher & translation experience B group Graduate school or above 3 years A group At least university & at least 3 years living in a foreign language & at least 2 years of translation experience TM Professional translator, custom translation PM Professional translator, team translator

As described above, when any Internet user accesses and logs in to the translation mediation server 30 as shown in FIG. 2, the member information of the translator registered as a member is stored in the translator database 32. ) Queries the client and translator databases 31 and 32 through the information management module 33 and performs member authentication (ST101 to ST103).

If the Internet user connected to the translation brokerage server 30 is not a member, the server 30 proceeds with the normal new member registration procedure (ST104). On the other hand, when a member authenticated Internet user (client) inputs a translation condition to request a translation, the translation brokerage server 30 calculates a quotation cost in real time and presents it to the client (ST105 to ST106).

In other words, if you specify that the content of the engineering field to be translated from Korean to English within a week, set the translation (translator) level to A level, and upload a file containing the content to be translated, the translation brokerage server 30 is entered. According to the relevant translation conditions, the estimate cost is calculated in real time through [Equation 2] and provided to the client. At this time, the amount of the original text to be translated is automatically calculated by the translation intermediation server 30 when uploading the file. If the amount of translation is difficult for one person to take, it is preferable to proceed with a team translation request process not shown.

[Equation 2]

Translation cost = basic unit price x classification x original text quantity x translation level

Here, the basic unit price means a translation ratio per word. In this embodiment, it is set as shown in Table 2 below. Classification means the kind of translation. In this embodiment, the classification is divided into three categories, such as general translation, technical translation, and professional translation, and the weights are varied such as 100%, 120%, and 140%, respectively.

[Table 2] Basic Unit Price Table

Per word Unit: Won language Foreign Language → Language Korean language → Foreign language English Japanese Chinese French German Spanish Russian Italian Dutch 5045858585909090110 9085150150150160160160200

General translations include relatively low level of translation difficulties such as resumes, introductions, trade letters, etc. Technical translations include moderate levels of translation difficulty such as manuals, evaluations, contracts, etc., and specialized translations such as medicine, pharmacy, law, and engineering. Each piece of content requires expertise.

On the other hand, the translation level represents the translator's ability to translate, in the present embodiment, the weight of the translator is 200% for A level, 150% for B class, and 100% for C class.

If the client approves the estimate cost calculated through [Equation 2] as described above, the translation brokerage server 30 inquires the balance of the cyber cache remaining in the client's account through the information management module 33 (ST107 ~). ST108). If the balance of the account is greater than the quoted cost, the translation brokerage server 30 deducts the amount corresponding to the quoted cost from the account to pay the translation fee, and if the balance of the account is less than the quoted cost, requests the client to charge the cyber cash. After that (ST109 to ST111), the client is notified that the translation request has been accepted (ST112).

In addition, the translation brokerage server 30 searches the translator database 32 to search for translators within the 20th degree of sincerity that meets the client's translation conditions, and receives translation orders through the e-mail or text message (SMS) to the translators. Send a guide message for guiding (ST113 to ST114).

After sending the translation order guide message to the searched translators, when a predetermined time elapsed according to the translation amount as illustrated in [Table 3], the translation broker server 30 requests an order from the translators who sent the guide message. Check if there are any (ST115 to ST116).

[Table 3] Waiting time for application for order

Unit: 1/5 hours Unit: 1/5 hours amount Foreign Language → Language Korean language → Foreign language <600 <1000 <2000 <10000> = 10000 Team translation Team Translation

If there is no application for order from the translators who sent the translation order guide message, the translation brokerage server 30 notifies the client through e-mail or text message that the translation request cannot be performed due to the failure to search for the translator (ST117). . On the other hand, if there are a plurality of orders received from the translators who sent the translation order guide message, the request for translation is selected by selecting an applicant with a high order application index and a fast application time for translation orders (ST118-ST119).

When the translator who received the translation as described above completes the translation and uploads the corresponding translation, the translation brokerage server 30 adjusts the integrity of the translator according to whether the delivery deadline has passed (ST120 to ST121), and completed The translation is uploaded and delivered to the client's computers 11a to 11b (ST122).

Although not shown in the drawing, the client reviews the delivered translations, and if a rating score is input for the translation within a predetermined time, the translation brokerage server 30 adjusts the integrity of the translator to reflect this and provides evaluation information. Provide a predetermined cyber cache to the client. Through this series of operations, the translation quality can be improved.

According to the integrity of the translator reflecting the evaluation score as described above, the translation brokerage server 30 deposits the cyber cache corresponding to the translation cost in the translator's account. The cyber cash thus deposited is periodically cashed and sent to the translator's account.

As described above, the present invention provides the client with a quotation in real time according to the type of translation and the required translation level, and when the translation fee is paid, the translation is requested to the translator who satisfies the translation request condition. Therefore, the fee dispute between the client and the translation office and between the translation office and the translator can be resolved.

In addition, since the translation rate distribution ratio between the service provider and the translator is differentially applied according to the sincerity of the translator, the overall translation quality can be improved.
