TECHNICAL FIELD [Method and system for supplying translation messenger of multiple language]

The present invention relates to a method and system for providing a multilingual translation messenger service, and in detail, when an instant message is input from a participating user in a group chat room, the input instant message is converted into a set language for each of the participating users in the group chat room. The present invention relates to a method and system for providing a multilingual translation messenger service that not only induces quick and convenient conversations of participating users who use various languages by providing translations, but also saves users' time and cost due to translation.

In recent years, as the communication infrastructure has been expanded and the mobile terminal technology has been advanced, the penetration rate of mobile terminals has increased exponentially.These mobile terminals have not only their own voice call service, but also various additional services such as camera, Internet, SNS, and various applications. As provision becomes possible, the function as a multimedia device is gradually expanding.

In particular, instant messaging service was previously available only on PCs, but as communication technology developed, it became possible on mobile terminals. Accordingly, messenger services are the most convenient and fast way to communicate between users. It is widely used as a representative service.

On the other hand, as the quality of life increases and society becomes global, users using the messenger service may use the same language, but there are frequent cases of using different languages. The demand for a translation service that enables instant messaging services to be used among users is increasing rapidly.

1 is a flowchart showing a method of supporting multilingual translation for messages included in a chat window disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1271285 (name of invention: a method of supporting multilingual translation for messages included in a chat window) to be.

A method of supporting multilingual translation for a message included in the chat window of FIG. 1 (hereinafter referred to as prior art) (S900) includes the step of maintaining a chat room including a plurality of users (S910), and a chat message from a user in the chat room. Receiving (S920), determining whether to access the translation engine based on the structure of the chat message (S930), and the message included in the chat message using the translation engine based on the determination result. It consists of a step of translating the content (S940) and uploading the content of the translated message to the chat room (S950).

In addition, step 930 (S930) determines whether the chat message includes a preset identifier, and at the same time, determines whether the preset identifier exists at a predetermined position in the chat message, and if the two conditions are met, step 940 ( 940).

The prior art (S900) configured as described above is based on whether the chat message includes a preset identifier and an indicator indicating a translation language, and whether a preset identifier exists in a predetermined location, and the like, by grasping the structure of the chat message. Since it is possible to translate chat messages in real time, it has the advantage of inducing convenient conversation between users who speak different languages.

However, the prior art (S900) has a disadvantage in that the user has to type the indicator and the identifier individually when inputting a message for the first time, and thus the operation is very cumbersome and the convenience of use is poor.

In addition, the prior art (S900) has a structural limitation in that it is impossible to translate messages into various languages of participating users when participating users in a group chat room use different languages because translation is only performed on the language input as an indicator. .

For example, the participating users'A','B','C', and'D' in the group chat room use'Korean','English','Japanese', and'Chinese' respectively, and the participating user'A' If the indicator is set to English, the participating user'B' receives a message translated into English, but the participating users'C' and'D' receive a message translated into English instead of their own language. Has limitations.

In other words, the prior art (S900) is suitable for one-on-one chat because the language of the group chat room is only translated into a single language by the indicator, but it has a disadvantage that it cannot be applied to a group chat room where participants using different languages gather as a group. .

On the other hand, the'A' chat application, which is currently widely used in Korea, provides a separate translation engine, but in this method, after copying the original text entered by the participating user, connecting to the translation engine and inputting the copied original text Because translation is requested in a desired language, translation services are individually provided for each text by participating users, making real-time translation impossible, and the translation process is complicated and cumbersome, resulting in a problem that reduces the convenience of use.

In addition, other'B' chat applications are configured to display a pop-up window to receive a translation request when the exposed text is long touched by a participating user, and to perform translation when a translation request is received by the participating user, but this method is also a translation service. Since the textma is performed individually by participating users, there is a problem that the convenience of use is deteriorated.

The present invention is to solve this problem, and the problem of the present invention is that when the messenger application of the recipient receives the original text from the service management server, after transmitting the set language of the recipient to the service management server, the service management server Multilingual translation messenger service that allows users of different languages to receive instant messages translated into their own language without performing separate translation work by being configured to receive the translated text translated into the set language from It is to provide a method and system for providing.

In the instant message input step (S10), the messenger application 5 receives an instant message from a user in a specific chat room. For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 10, when the sender A whose setting language is set to'Korean' inputs'hello' (93-1) in the chat window 900, the instant message input step ( S10) receives the instant message'Hello' (93-1) input by the sender A.

In the instant message transmission step (S20), the messenger application 5 transmits the instant message input through the instant message input step (S10) to the service management server 3. At this time, the messenger application 5 transmits the instant message and the chat room identification information to the service management server 3 together.

In the transmission target detection step (S30), the service management server 3 detects the transmission target of the instant message received through the instant message transmission step (S20).

In the original text transmission step S40, the service management server 3 transmits the original text, which is an instant message, to each of the messenger applications 5 detected by the transmission target detection step S30.

In the original text uploading step (S50), the messenger application 5 uploads the original text transmitted through the original text transmission step (S40) to the chat window.

In the setting language transmission step (S60), the messenger application 5 transmits the setting language set by the user to the service management server 3.

In the translation step (S70), the service management server 3 accesses the translation engine 7 to obtain the translated text translated from the original text into the set language transmitted through the set language transmission step (S60).

11 is a flowchart for explaining the translation step of FIG. 9.

As shown in FIG. 11, the translation step (S70) includes an input step (S71), a language type determination step (S72), a search and extraction step (S73), and a translation processing step (S74).

In the input step S71, the service management server 5 receives the original text and the set language transmitted from the messenger application 5.

In the language type determination step (S72), the service management server 5 determines the language type of the original text input through the input step (S71) as the input language, and the language type of the set language input through the input step (S71). Is determined as the output language.

In the search and extraction step (S73), the service management server 5 searches for priority information indicating the priority given to each translation engine for each input language and output language, and the translation engine 7-1, ..., ( Among 7-N), the translation engine having the highest priority for the input language and the output language determined in the language type determination step (S72) is extracted.

In the translation processing step S74, the service management server 5 accesses the translation engine extracted by the search and extraction step S73 to obtain a translated text in which the original text is translated into a set language.

In the translation text transmission step (S80), the service management server 3 transmits the translated text obtained by the translation processing step (S74) of the translation step (S70) to the corresponding messenger application (5).

In the translation text uploading step S90, the messenger application 5 uploads the translated text transmitted by the translation text transmission step S70 to the next column of the original text.

’, ‘こんにちは’(94-2), (95-2), (96-2)들이 각각 업로딩 되게 된다.That is, as shown in (b), (c), and (d) of FIG. 10, the set language is set to'English','Chinese', and'Japanese' of the recipients'B','C', and'D'. In the chat window, the original texts (94-1), (95-1), and (96-1), and the translated texts translated into the set language,'Hello', '

','konnichiha' (94-2), (95-2), (96-2) will be uploaded respectively.

In the multilingual translation system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, when an instant message occurs in a group chat room, the text translated in the set language of each participating user is exposed to the chat room of the participating user, thereby allowing users to translate. Translation costs and time can be reduced, as well as service convenience can be improved, as instant messages translated into their own language can be provided without performing additional tasks, and real-time conversations between users of various languages are encouraged. It has the advantage of being able to do it.

In addition, the multilingual translation system 1 of the present invention simultaneously uploads the translated text to the next column of the original text, so that when the translation accuracy of the translated text is poor, the user can perform a separate translation operation using the original text. Can increase the accuracy and reliability of the product.

In addition, the multilingual translation system 1 of the present invention takes into account the characteristics of the translation accuracy and completeness that are different for each language for each translation engine, and the translation engines for each input language (original text) and output language (translation text) used for translation After prioritization is assigned and stored, when an instant message occurs, the original text and the translated text are referred to, and the translation service is configured to perform the translation through the translation engine with the highest priority to further increase the accuracy and reliability of the translation.
