The present invention relates to a communication support system for the language-disabled, and in particular, to use a dedicated language input device, which is a terminal for the handicapped, a language-supported living language support system in which a language-disabled person has a living language system program for the disabled and a character input program for the disabled. The present invention relates to a communication support system for the language-disabled that can easily express their intentions.

Currently, many people with disabilities with severe language disorders are seen in the vicinity, but the reality is that no communication support system has been developed for people with severe language disorders that have been developed so that they can express their intentions properly.

In addition, the living language system for the severely disabled with language as described above has not been established at all.

Moreover, there is no research on dedicated input processors for people with speech impairments.

However, in Korea, localization of some input devices such as visual recognition mouse has been attempted, but most of the dedicated equipment relies on imports, which is also not helpful to the severely disabled.

As a result, no system has been developed so that people with severe language disorders can communicate with their family members, colleagues with disabilities or the general public. Not only does it cause inconvenience, but it is not conducive to improving the quality of life of people with language disabilities.

Accordingly, the present inventors recognize that, in the case of an elderly or severely disabled person with a speech impairment, there is a great difficulty in communicating with the surrounding people, and therefore, there are many obstacles in living a basic life including caregiving. We came up with input devices and computer programs that help people with disabilities communicate easily.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above, and it is possible to improve the quality of life of people with language impairments by improving the quality of life of people with language impairments. It aims to provide a communication support system for the language-disabled, which can easily express their intentions.

In order to solve the above problems, the language-disabled communication support system according to the present invention is an input protocol minimized by using various dedicated input devices such as an eye blink recognition input device, a doll type input device, or a switch type input device. Dedicated doctor input terminal for providing a disabled; Laptops that receive signals input through the pseudo-input terminal for the handicapped by wire or wirelessly, and process the received signals into appropriate data by using the built-in language system for the disabled and the character input program for the disabled. It consists of the same living language physician support system.

The present invention also simplifies the input protocol of the handicapped-only pseudo input terminal into three signals: yes, no or cancellation.

In addition, the disability living language system program of the present invention establishes a dedicated database that collects and organizes the words and sentence systems frequently used in the general and nursing life of persons with disabilities.

In addition, the character input program for the handicapped-only person of the present invention directly inputs additional words and sentences necessary for the handicapped person through the image keyboard, minimizes the input of the handicapped through binary search, and stores the empty words in a dedicated database. .

In addition, the dedicated database of the present invention stores and stores the living environment sentence system through the analysis of the life patterns of the handicapped by patient-specific life pattern classification, and stores words and sentences frequently used by the handicapped in the database, and checks their frequency of use. The most used words and sentences are quickly displayed on the screen of the living language doctor support system.

(1)), and the language system for the handicapped, which supports communication with the simple signal, and the character input program for the handicapped, which supports more complicated communication.

On the other hand, the living language system program for the handicapped is a dedicated database having a dedicated standard interface that collects and organizes the living language of a language-disabled person with severe disabilities and communicates with a simple signal of a doctor input terminal for persons with disabilities. Software.

In addition, the living language system program for the handicapped can easily translate the word and sentence system frequently used by the handicapped in the general life and nursing life of the handicapped through the screen of the life language communication support system for the handicapped (laptop, PDA, etc.). Has the function.

In addition, the living language system program for the disabled is classified into a living environment sentence system through analysis of user life patterns as shown in FIG. 2 (in this system, nursing, meal, emergency, menstruation, mobility, environment, communication, call, etc.). , Life, repetition, etc.).

In addition, the subjects of the service by the living language system program for the handicapped are those with language impairment due to severe disability, those with no problem with the language system, and those with discomfort using other language means due to the physical disability.

In addition, the living language system program for the handicapped arranges sentences composed of predicate-oriented language systems for patients who are difficult to speak sentences composed of systematic language forms, and puts emphasis on logic because they are assisted by information devices.

An example of the structure of the predicate-oriented language system is as follows.

`` (Structure example)

: Predicate + purpose 1 category + object 2 classification + ... + (adverb)

  => Eat-Drink

            Food-Rice

                 -Porridge-less

                      -Thin: I want to eat porridge dilute.

  => Do-exercise

          -Bowel movements-urine
