According to some embodiments, the second device 102 may obtain recipient information from the server, obtain recipient information based on user input or information stored in the device, and display the recipient time based on the recipient information It is possible.

According to some embodiments, FIG. 23A is a screen in which a translated mail is output, and the translated mail may include an email in which at least one of the contents included in the mail is translated. Referring to FIG. 23A, ABCD.DOC, which is an attachment 2307 included in the mail, is an attached file translated into the language of the recipient, and the text of the mail body 2309 is also translated into the language of the recipient.

According to some embodiments, the server may execute the attachment 2307 included in the mail to translate the content contained in the attachment, store the translated content, and re-attach the mail to the recipient.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 23B, when an e-mail is received from the first device 101, the attached file checking unit 2321 of the server 201 can check whether the received mail includes an attached file. If the mail contains an attached file, the attached file checking unit 2321 can determine the type of the attached file. For example, the attached file checking unit 2321 can check whether the attached file is a document file or an image file.

According to some embodiments, when the attached file is a document file, the attached file checking unit 2321 can determine the type of the document file. For example, the attached file checking unit 2321 can determine the type of document file (e.g., ppt file, hwp file, docx file, etc.) based on the extension of the document file. Next, the attached file checking unit 2321 can transmit information about the kind of the document file and the document file to the reader 2322. The reader 2322 can browse the document file in cooperation with at least one program 2323 that can open the document file, based on the kind of the document file. When the document file is viewed, the text extracting unit 2324 can extract the text from the scanned document file. The translation engine 2325 can translate the extracted text into the language of use of the recipient. When the extracted text is translated into the language of the recipient, the writer 2326 can browse the document file, convert the original text into translated text, and store the document file.

According to some embodiments, when the attached file is an image file, the attached file checking unit 2321 may transmit the image file to a character recognizing unit (not shown). The character recognition unit can extract text from an image file in consideration of a pattern of characters in the image file, a horizontal / vertical ratio of characters, and the like. Once the text is extracted, the translation engine 2325 can translate the extracted text into the language of the recipient's language. When the extracted text is translated into the language of the recipient, the writer 2326 can browse the image file to convert the image associated with the text into an image of the translated text, and store the image file.

When the translation of the document file or the image file is completed, the server 201 can transmit the translated document file or the image file to the second device 102. [

According to some embodiments, the contents included in the mail may include link information. Referring to FIG. 24A, the body 2409 of the mail includes link information of a predetermined web page.

According to some embodiments, the second device 102 may translate and output a predetermined web page that is linked based on the link information. Of course, the second device 102 may separately receive the information about the predetermined web page translated from the server, and display the translated web page based on the received information. For example, if the link information of http://www.samsung.co.kr of a Korean-based web page is included in the mail, the server is connected to http://www.samsung.co.kr through link information. kr to transmit information about the translated web page to the second device 102.

The method for providing the information on the translated web page to the second device 102 may include attaching the link information for storing information on the translated web page separately or providing the translated content as a separate attachment file, It is also possible to provide information on the translation language so that the recipient can receive the mail and display the translated web page in real time upon confirmation.

According to some embodiments, when the predetermined web page to be connected based on the link information is a web page displayed in at least one language, the second device 102 displays in a language corresponding to the recipient based on the recipient's information Or to a web page that has been created. For example, since the English-based web page at http://www.samsung.co.kr is http://www.samsung.com, the second device 102 may be configured to select the appropriate language based on the language information corresponding to the recipient You can forward to a web page.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 24B, the link management unit 2421 of the server 201 can confirm whether or not the received mail includes link information. When the mail contains link information, the link management section 2421 can search the URL database 2422 for link information, which is related to the link information included in the mail, in the language corresponding to the recipient. As a result of the search, if there is link information displayed in the language corresponding to the recipient, the server 201 can convert the link information included in the mail into the newly searched link information. Next, the server 201 may transmit the mail containing the converted link information to the second device 102. [ Alternatively, the server 201 may connect to the web page of the converted link information, and may transmit the mail including the web page to the second device 102. Alternatively, the server 210 may change the web page of the converted link information to a document file or an image file. Then, the mail containing the document file or the image file can be transmitted to the second device 102. For example, the server 210 may transmit a document file or an image file by inserting it into the body of the mail or adding it as an attachment of the mail.

According to some embodiments, the link management unit 2421 may not be able to retrieve, from the URL database 2422, link information displayed in the language corresponding to the recipient, related to the link information included in the mail. In this case, the link management unit 2421 can transmit the link information to the web page translation server 2423. [ The web page translation server 2423 can translate the web page linked to the link information. For example, the parsing unit 2423-1 of the web page translation server 2423 may parse the web page linked to the link information.
