Description

다국어 메시지 번역 시스템 및 그 방법Multilingual Message Translation System and Method
본 발명은 사용자가 전달하고자 하는 메시지를 복수개 국가의 언어로 번역하여 상대방에게 전송하는 다국어 메시지 번역 시스템 및 그 방법에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 송신측 단말기로부터 제1언어로 된 원문메시지를 제1언어와 상이한 복수개의 언어로 번역하여 번역문메시지를 생성하고, 이를 각 수신자 단말기로 전송하는 시스템 및 방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a multilingual message translation system and method for translating a message to be delivered by a user in a language of a plurality of countries to a counterpart, and more particularly, a first text message in a first language from a transmitting terminal. The present invention relates to a system and method for generating a translated text message by translating a plurality of languages different from a language and transmitting the translated text message to each receiver terminal.
본 발명은 서로 상이한 언어를 사용하는 상대방과의 메시지 대화 또는 채팅을 가능하게 하는 다국어 메시지 번역 시스템 및 그 방법에 관한 발명이다.The present invention relates to a multilingual message translation system and method for enabling message conversation or chat with a partner using different languages.
최근 통신기술의 발달 및 네트워크 확대로 세계 곳곳의 사람들이 손쉽게 온라인상에서 커뮤니케이션을 나누는 일은 더 이상 새로운 일이 아니라 할 것이다. 즉, 컴퓨터를 통한 온라인 화상통화, 이동단말기의 애플리케이션을 통한 인스턴트 메시지 대화 서비스 등 각종 단말기를 이용하여 누구든지 쉽게 의사소통을 할 수 있는 수단이 갖추어졌으며, 이러한 온라인상의 커뮤니케이션 수단은 지역적 제한도 거의 받지 않아 서로 다른 나라에 있는 자들 간에도 어려움 없이 커뮤니케이션이 가능하게 되었다. With the recent development of communication technology and the expansion of networks, it is no longer new for people around the world to communicate easily online. In other words, it is equipped with a means to easily communicate with anyone using various terminals such as online video call through a computer and instant message conversation service through an application of a mobile terminal, and such online communication means has almost no regional restrictions. As a result, communication between people in different countries was possible without difficulty.
다만, 서로 다른 공간에 있는 자들 간에 쉽게 커뮤니케이션이 가능한 기술적 환경이 갖추어져 있음에도 여전히 서로 다른 언어를 사용함으로써 발생하는 커뮤니케이션 상의 어려움은 해결해야 할 과제로 남아있다. 이에 따라 종래에는 상호 간에 이해 가능한 공통의 언어를 선택하여 해당 언어로 의사소통을 하는 방식으로 위와 같은 어려움을 어느 정도 극복해 왔으나, 이러한 방식에 따르더라도 여전히 대화자가 공통의 언어를 완벽하게 숙지하고 있지 못함에 따라 여러가지 문제점이 발생되고 있다. 예를 들어 국어를 사용하는 제1사용자가 일어를 사용하는 제2사용자와 영어를 이용하여 온라인상에서 대화를 나눈다고 가정했을 때, 영어를 모국어로 하지 않는 양 사용자들은 상대방에게 전달하고자 하는 대화내용을 충분히 전달할 수 없을 수 있으며 또한 대화내용을 수신하는 자 입장에서도 이해가 어려울 수 있다. 나아가 대화참여자 수가 늘어날수록 상호 간에 공통으로 이해할 수 있는 언어가 존재하지 않을 가능성은 더 높아질 것이므로 온라인상에서 커뮤니케이션이 곤란한 경우도 발생할 수 있다. However, even though there is a technical environment in which people in different spaces can communicate easily, communication difficulties caused by using different languages remain to be solved. Accordingly, in the past, the above-mentioned difficulties have been overcome by selecting a common language that can be understood by each other and communicating in the corresponding language. However, even in this manner, the dialogue is still fully familiar with the common language. As a result, various problems are occurring. For example, suppose a first-language user speaks a conversation online in English with a second-language user who speaks Japanese. It may not be sufficiently communicated, and may be difficult to understand from the point of view of the person receiving the conversation. Furthermore, as the number of participants increases, the likelihood that there are no mutually understandable languages will increase, which may cause communication difficulties online.
한편, 관련선행기술로서 한국 공개특허공보 제10-2010-0137786호(이하 선행기술)이 존재한다. 상기 선행기술은 동시 통역서비스 및 그 방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 관광지에서 외국인과 대화를 하게 되는 경우 실시간으로 동시통역이 가능하도록 하는 시스템 및 방법을 제공하는 것과 관련된 것이다. On the other hand, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2010-0137786 (hereinafter referred to as prior art) exists as a related prior art. The prior art relates to a simultaneous interpretation service and a method thereof, and more particularly, to providing a system and method for enabling simultaneous interpretation in real time when talking with a foreigner in a tourist destination.
상기 선행기술은 본 발명과 비교할 때 사용자의 모국어인 제1언어로 된 메시지를 상대방 사용 언어인 제2언어의 메시지로 번역하여 단말기상에 표시한다는 점에서 유사한 점이 있으나, 선행기술의 경우 오프라인 대화시 실시간 통역을 제공하기 위한 발명이라는 점, 일대일 대화 상황에서만 통역이 가능한 시스템 및 방법을 개시하고 있다는 점에서 앞서 상술한 문제점에 대한 근본적인 해결책을 제시하고 있지는 못하다. Compared to the present invention, the prior art has a similar point in that a message in a first language, which is a user's native language, is translated into a message in a second language, which is a counterpart language, and displayed on a terminal. The present invention does not provide a fundamental solution to the above-mentioned problems in that it is an invention for providing real-time interpretation and discloses a system and method that can be interpreted only in a one-to-one conversation situation.

이하 도 1을 참조하여 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 다국어 메시지 번역 시스템을 살펴본다.Hereinafter, a multilingual message translation system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1.
도 1을 참조하면, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 다국어 메시지 번역 시스템은 서비스제공 서버(100)와 복수개의 송신측 단말기(200) 및 수신측 단말기(300), 바람직하게는 하나 이상의 송신측 단말기(200)와 두 개 이상의 수신측 단말기(300a - 300n)를 포함하여 구성되어 있다. 이하 설명에서는 본 발명에 대한 이해를 돕기 위하여 하나의 송신측 단말기(200), 두 개 이상의 수신측 단말기(300) 및 서비스제공 서버(100)로 이루어진 다국어 메시지 번역 시스템을 가정하여 설명하기로 한다.Referring to FIG. 1, a multilingual message translation system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a service providing server 100, a plurality of sender terminals 200, and a receiver terminal 300, preferably at least one sender terminal. And 200 and two or more receiving terminal terminals 300a to 300n. In the following description, a multilingual message translation system consisting of one transmitting terminal 200, two or more receiving terminal 300, and a service providing server 100 will be described.
송신측 단말기(200) 또는 수신측 단말기(300)는 애플리케이션(application)을 다운로드 받아 설치 및 실행할 수 있는 모든 단말기를 의미하는 것으로서, 스마트폰이 대표적인 예가 될 수 있다. 상기 단말기들에는 모두 서비스제공 서버(100)와 데이터 통신을 주고받을 수 있는 클라이언트 애플리케이션이 설치될 수 있다. 이 때, 클라이언트 애플리케이션은 독립적으로 구동될 수 있거나 또는 다른 애플리케이션의 일부 기능으로서 구동될 수도 있다.The transmitting terminal 200 or the receiving terminal 300 refers to all terminals capable of downloading, installing and executing an application, and a smart phone may be a representative example. All of the terminals may be installed with a client application that can exchange data communication with the service providing server 100. At this time, the client application may be run independently or may be run as some function of another application.
송신측 단말기(200)는 제1언어를 사용하는 제1사용자로부터 대화 상대방에게 전달하고자 하는 메시지를 입력받아 원문메시지를 생성하여 서비스제공 서버(100)로 전송한다. 이 때 상기 원문메시지는 일반 텍스트로 이루어진 것이거나 또는 음성으로 된 것일 수 있다. The transmitting terminal 200 receives a message to be delivered to a conversation counterpart from a first user who uses the first language, generates a text message, and transmits the original message to the service providing server 100. At this time, the original message may be composed of plain text or voice.
서비스제공 서버(100)는 상기 송신측 단말기(200)로부터 수신한 원문메시지를 번역하여 번역문메시지를 생성하고, 생성된 번역문메시지를 하나 이상의 수신측 단말기(300)로 전송하는 기능을 수행한다. 이 때 원문메시지가 어느 언어로 번역될 것인지는 수신측 단말기(300)의 개별 언어설정정보에 따라 달라지게 되며, 서비스제공 서버(100)는 수신측 단말기(300)의 언어설정정보를 획득하여 번역이 필요한 언어를 선택하고 각 언어에 대한 번역문메시지를 생성하게 된다. The service providing server 100 performs a function of translating the original text message received from the transmitting terminal 200 to generate a translated text message, and transmitting the generated translated text message to one or more receiving terminal 300. In this case, the language in which the original message is to be translated depends on the individual language setting information of the receiving terminal 300, and the service providing server 100 obtains the language setting information of the receiving terminal 300 to perform translation. You will select the required language and generate a translation message for each language.
예를 들어, 원문메시지가 한국어라고 가정했을 때, 상기 서비스제공 서버(100)는 두 개의 수신측 단말기(300a,300b)로부터 각각 언어설정정보를 획득하며, 가령 제1수신측 단말기(300a)는 영어, 제2수신측 단말기(300b)는 일본어로 언어설정이 되어 있으면, 상기 한국어로 된 원문메시지를 영어, 일본어로 번역하여 두 개의 번역문메시지를 생성하게 된다. For example, assuming that the original message is Korean, the service providing server 100 obtains language setting information from the two receiving terminal terminals 300a and 300b, respectively. For example, the first receiving terminal terminal 300a If the language is set in Japanese, the second receiving side terminal 300b translates the original text message in Korean into English and Japanese, thereby generating two translated text messages.
한편, 위 예시와 달리 제1수신측 단말기(300a), 제2수신측 단말기(300b)가 모두 영어로 언어설정이 되어 있다면, 상기 서비스제공 서버(100)는 한국어로 된 원문메시지를 영어로만 번역하여 하나의 번역문메시지를 생성하게 될 것이다. On the other hand, unlike the above example, if both the first receiving terminal 300a, the second receiving terminal 300b is set to the language in English, the service providing server 100 translates the original message in English only in English Will generate a single translation message.
이와 같이 서비스제공 서버(100)는 수신측 단말기(300)의 개수가 아닌 수신측 단말기(300)로부터 획득한 언어설정정보에 따라 번역이 필요한 언어의 종류를 먼저 파악하며, 해당 언어의 종류 개수에 따라 필요한 번역문메시지를 생성하게 된다. In this way, the service providing server 100 first grasps the types of languages requiring translation according to the language setting information obtained from the receiving terminal 300, not the number of the receiving terminal 300, Therefore, the necessary translation message is generated.
또한, 서비스제공 서버(100)는 생성된 번역문메시지를 언어설정정보가 대응되는 각 수신측 단말기(300)로 전송한다. 다시 말해, 영어로 언어설정이 된 제1수신측 단말기(300a)에는 영문으로 번역된 번역문메시지가, 일본어로 언어설정이 된 제2수신측 단말기(300b)에는 일본어로 번역된 번역문메시지가 전송된다. In addition, the service providing server 100 transmits the generated translated message to each of the receiving terminal 300 corresponding to the language setting information. In other words, a translation message translated into English is transmitted to the first receiving terminal 300a having the language set in English, and a translation message translated into Japanese is transmitted to the second receiving terminal 300b having the language set in Japanese. .
한편, 서비스제공 서버(100)가 수신한 원문메시지를 어느 언어로 번역할 것인지는 송신측 단말기(200) 사용자가 임의로 설정한 사용자언어설정정보에 따라 달라질 수도 있다. 즉, 송신측 단말기(200)의 사용자는 자신이 전달하고자 하는 메시지가 특정 언어로 번역이 될 수 있도록 직접 언어를 설정할 수 있으며, 서비스제공 서버(100)는 위와 같이 설정된 사용자언어설정정보를 획득하여 설정된 언어로 된 번역문메시지를 생성하게 된다. On the other hand, in which language the original message received by the service providing server 100 is translated may vary according to user language setting information arbitrarily set by the user of the transmitting terminal 200. That is, the user of the transmitting terminal 200 may set the language directly so that the message to be transmitted can be translated into a specific language, and the service providing server 100 obtains the user language setting information set as described above. This will create a translation message in the set language.
이 때, 상기 사용자언어설정정보는 수신측 단말기(300)로부터 획득한 언어설정정보보다 우선순위로 설정될 수 있으며, 따라서 사용자언어설정정보, 언어설정정보가 모두 포함된 접속정보를 획득하더라도 상기 서비스제공 서버(100)는 우선 순위에 따라 사용자언어설정정보에 따른 언어로 번역문메시지를 생성할 수 있다. In this case, the user language setting information may be set to have priority over the language setting information obtained from the receiving terminal 300, and thus the service may be obtained even if the user language setting information and the access information including both the language setting information are obtained. The providing server 100 may generate a translation message in a language according to the user language setting information according to the priority.
예를 들어, 영어로 언어설정이 된 제1수신측 단말기(300a)와 일본어로 언어설정이 된 제2수신측 단말기(300b)가 접속되어 있는 경우, 별도의 사용자언어설정정보가 존재하지 않는다면 앞서 설명한 예시와 같이 해당 언어설정에 따른 번역문메시지가 각 수신측 단말기(300)로 전송될 것이다. 그러나 송신측 단말기(200) 사용자가 번역 언어로서 영어를 설정하는 경우, 상기 서비스제공 서버(100)는 영어로 설정된 사용자언어설정정보에 따라 영문으로 번역된 번역문메시지를 생성하게 되고, 제1수신측 단말기(300a) 및 제2수신측 단말기(300b) 모두에 영문 번역문메시지를 전송하게 되는 것이다. For example, when the first receiving terminal 300a having the language set in English and the second receiving terminal 300b having the language set in Japanese are connected, if there is no separate user language setting information, As illustrated, the translated message according to the language setting will be transmitted to each receiving terminal 300. However, when the user of the transmitting terminal 200 sets English as the translation language, the service providing server 100 generates a translated message translated into English according to the user language setting information set in English, and the first receiving side. The English translation message is transmitted to both the terminal 300a and the second receiving terminal 300b.
한편, 상기 사용자언어설정정보는 서비스제공 서버(100)에 접속된 수신측 단말기(300)별로 복수개 설정될 수도 있으며, 이 경우 서비스제공 서버(100)는 사용자언어설정정보가 설정된 수신측 단말기(300)에 대해서는 상기 사용자언어설정정보에 따른 번역문메시지를 우선적으로 전송하고, 그 외의 수신측 단말기들에 대해서는 각 단말기들의 언어설정정보에 따른 번역문메시지를 전송하게 된다.
