[0037] Referring to FIG. 1, a first embodiment of a method for implementing simultaneous translation according to the present invention is provided. The method includes the following steps:

[0038] Sl, the translation device transmits translation information to the output device connected thereto, and the translation device and the at least two output devices are sequentially connected.

[0039] S12. The output device receives the translation information, and acquires information of the corresponding language from the translation information.

[0040] S13. The output device determines whether the device is the last output device in the connection link. When the device is the last output device in the connection link, the process ends; when the device is not in the connection link The last output device 吋 proceeds to the next step S14.

[0041] S14. The output device transmits the translation information to the latter output device connected thereto.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention, the translation device and the at least two output devices are sequentially connected. As shown in FIG. 2, the translation device, the output device 1, ..., the output device n (n>2) are sequentially connected to form a strip. Connect the link. The translation device located at the first position of the connection link is a master device, and the output device _n at the end of the connection link is a slave device (Slave), and is located at the middle of the connection link, that is, an output device between the translation device and the output device n. To bridge a device, it switches between the master device and the slave device, which is the slave device of the previous device and the master device of the latter device.

[0043] The translation device and the at least two output devices may be sequentially connected through a wireless connection such as Bluetooth or Wireless Fidelity (WIFI), or may be sequentially connected through a wired connection. Translation equipment, output equipment The specific process of establishing a connection is:

[0044] The translation device initiates a connection request to an output device 1 as the identity of the master device. The output device 1 accepts a connection request from the translation device as the identity of the device, and establishes a connection with the translation device. The output device 1 then initiates a connection request to the other output device as the master device. And so on, until the translation device, the output device 1, ..., the output device n establish a connection in turn.

[0045] The translation device may be a dedicated translation machine, or may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet. The output device may be any electronic device or terminal device capable of outputting sound information and/or visual information, such as a device for outputting sound information such as a headset (such as a Bluetooth headset), and outputting sound information and/or visual information such as a mobile phone or a tablet. Mobile terminals, and so on.

[0046] In step S11, the translation device transmits the translation information to the output device connected thereto as the identity of the master device, and the translation information may be voice information and/or text information. The translation information may include only information in one language, and may also include information in at least two languages. For example, the translation device is followed by n output devices, and the translation information includes information in n languages, that is, each output device acquires information of a corresponding language.

[0047] When the translation information includes information in at least two languages, different identification information needs to be set for the information of the different languages, so that the subsequent output device can identify the information of the corresponding language of the device. Alternatively, identification information may be provided by setting different frame headers for information in different languages.

[0048] In step S12, the output device receives the translation information as the identity of the slave device, and after receiving the translation information, Obtain the information of the corresponding language of the device from the translated information, and add it to the play buffer. When the translation information includes only information in one language, the output device can obtain the information directly without identifying it. When the translation information includes information of at least two languages, the output device needs to identify the information of the corresponding language in the translation information according to the identification information of the information of the different language, and then select the information of the corresponding language. The output device selects the information of the corresponding language, and can extract the information directly from the translated information, or copy the information.

[0049] In step S13, the output device determines whether the device is the last output device in the connection link. When it is not the last output device in the link, the process proceeds to step S14, and the translation information is continued; when it is the last output device in the link, the transfer process of the translation information is ended.

[0050] Optionally, the output device may detect whether the device is connected to two devices; when two devices are connected, it is determined that the device is not the last output device in the connection link, and is a bridge in the connection link. Device; when only one device is connected, it is determined that the device is the last output device in the connection link

[0051] Alternatively, the output device may detect whether the device is connected to other devices as the identity of the master device; when connecting to other devices as the identity of the master device, determining that the device is not the last output device in the connection link , is the bridge device in the connection link; when it is not connected to other devices as the master device, it is determined that the device is the last output device in the connection link.

[0052] In step S14, when the output device determines that the device is not the last output device in the connection link, the output device transmits the translation information to the latter output device connected to it as the identity of the master device, and Returning to step S12, the latter output device continues to obtain the information of the corresponding language of the device from the translation information, and so on, until the translation information is transmitted to the last output device in the connection link, and the last output device obtains the corresponding language of the device from the device. Information so far.

[0053] After the output device acquires the information of the corresponding language of the device, the information is output through the sounding device and/or the display screen, such as playing the voice information through the sounding device, displaying the text information through the display screen, and the like.

[0054] When the output device is a bridge device in the connection link, the bridge device establishes a communication connection with the two devices before and after through the two communication links. Thereafter, the output device can receive and transmit translation information over two different communication links, respectively. Alternatively, the output device may distinguish two different communication links by a frequency hopping sequence, thereby switching the corresponding communication link to the communication link of the current transmission information. In addition, The output device can be switched between the identity of the master device and the identity of the slave device through the control of the internal state machine.

[0055] Further, before step S14, the output device further sets the playback delay so that all the output devices on the connection link can synchronously play the voice information and/or the text information. Specifically, the playback delay may be set to T, and T=Nt, where Ν is the number of other output devices connected in sequence after the output device, and t is required for transmitting translation information between the two output devices. between.

[0056] For example, assuming that three output devices are sequentially connected to the translation device, the first output device sets the playback delay to 2t, the second output device sets the playback delay to t, and the third output device sets the playback UI. Delay to 0 or do not set playback delay. Thus, when the third output device acquires the information of the corresponding language, the three output devices simultaneously play the voice information and/or the text information.

[0057] For example:

[0058] As shown in FIG. 3, the translation device is used as a translation machine, and the output device is a Bluetooth headset. The translation machine, the Bluetooth headset 1, the Bluetooth headset 2, and the Bluetooth headset 3 are sequentially connected. The translation machine and the three Bluetooth headsets adopt the Bluetooth chain scatter network networking method, which is composed of multiple Bluetooth Piconet bridge connections, each of which consists of one main mode device and one slave mode device. The translator works in the main mode, as the source device; the last Bluetooth headset, ie the Bluetooth headset 3, works in slave mode, as a sink device; the other Bluetooth headsets, ie Bluetooth headset 1 and Bluetooth headset 2 act as bridge devices, working in master and slave Mode. The bridging device is in two different pico networks, each piconet having a communication link, and the bridging device distinguishes between two different communication links by different frequency hopping sequences.

[0059] The process of the Bluetooth chain scatter network is: the translator acts as the master node, and initiates a query pairing request to the adjacent Bluetooth headset 1 as the master device, and the requested Bluetooth headset 1 is successfully paired with the translator. As the slave device, the first pic network was established. The slave device of the first piconet, that is, the Bluetooth headset 1 in turn, initiates a query pairing request to the adjacent Bluetooth headset 2 as the master device. After the requested Bluetooth headset 2 and the Bluetooth headset 1 are successfully paired, as the slave device, The second Peak Network was established. The slave device of the second piconet, that is, the Bluetooth headset 2, in turn, initiates a query pairing request to the adjacent Bluetooth headset 3 as the master device. After the requested Bluetooth headset ₃ and the Bluetooth headset 2 are successfully paired, as the slave device, The third pic network was established. Thus, three pico networks are formed, and one translator and three Bluetooth headsets sequentially establish a Bluetooth ACL link connection to form a scatter network. Each Bluetooth headset as a bridge device realizes the switching between the identity of the master device and the slave device through the control of the internal state machine. The AVDTP and AVRCP protocols are adopted, and the identity of the master device is in the state of the master device. The slave device in the network transmits the audio stream, and in the slave device identity, receives the audio stream of the master device in the piconet.

[0060] The specific process for implementing simultaneous translation is:

[0061] (1) The translation machine sends translation information to the Bluetooth headset 1, the translation information includes voice information in three languages, and voice information in different languages is represented by different frame headers. The three languages are the first language, the second language, and the third language, respectively corresponding to the output languages of the Bluetooth headset 1, the Bluetooth headset 2, and the Bluetooth headset 3.

[0062] (2) The Bluetooth headset 1 receives the translation information, and recognizes the voice information of the first language from the translation information according to the frame header, adds the voice information of the first language to the play buffer, and sets the playback delay to Tl. , and send the translation information to the Bluetooth headset 2. Where Tl=2t, t is the transmission delay for transmitting one translation information, that is, the time required to transmit translation information between two Bluetooth headsets.

[0063] (3) The Bluetooth headset 2 receives the translation information, recognizes the voice information of the second language from the translation information according to the frame header, adds the voice information of the second language to the play buffer, and sets the playback delay to T2. , and send the translation information to the Bluetooth headset 3. Where T2=t.

[0064] (4) The Bluetooth headset 3 receives the translation information, and recognizes the voice information of the third language from the translation information according to the frame header, and adds the voice information of the third language to the play buffer.

[0065] (5) Bluetooth headset 1, Bluetooth headset 2 and Bluetooth headset 3 Synchronize the voice information of the respective language. Specifically, the Bluetooth headset outputs the voice information from the play buffer to the decoder, decodes it by the decoder, and outputs it to the analog-to-digital converter, and converts the voice information from the digital signal to the analog signal through the analog-to-digital converter to drive the audio output.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, a method for implementing simultaneous translation is to form a chain scatter network by sequentially connecting a translation device and at least two output devices, and an output device located in the middle of the connection link acquires information of a language corresponding to the device. After continuing to transfer the translation information to the latter output device, the one-to-many transmission of the translated information is realized, and the transmission distance and range of the translated information are expanded, so that the translation device can transmit the information of different languages to different output devices, thereby realizing more Simultaneous playback of language information improves translation efficiency and translation, and enhances the user experience.

Referring to FIG. 4, a second embodiment of a method for implementing simultaneous translation according to the present invention is provided. The method is applied to the foregoing output device, and the method includes the following steps:

[0068] S2 receives the translation information, and acquires information of the corresponding language from the translation information. [0069] S22. Determine whether the output device is the last output device in the connection link. When the output device is the last output device in the connection link, the flow is ended; when the output device is not the last output device in the connection link, the process proceeds to the next step S23.

[0070] S23. Transmit the translation information to the latter output device connected thereto.

[0071] In the embodiment, steps S21-S23 are the same as steps S12-S14 in the first embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

[0072] The output device can be connected to other devices through a wireless connection such as Bluetooth or Wireless Fidelity (WIFI), and of course, can also be connected through a wired connection. The process of establishing an connection between the output device and other devices is: accepting a connection request of the translation device or the output device as the identity of the slave device, and establishing a connection with the translation device or the output device.

[0073] Further, the output device may also initiate a connection request to other output devices as the identity of the master device to establish a connection with other output devices, thereby acting as a bridge device in the connection link.

[0074] The output device may be any electronic device or terminal device capable of outputting sound information and/or visual information, such as a device for outputting sound information, such as a headset (such as a Bluetooth headset), and outputting sound information, such as a mobile phone or a tablet, and/or Mobile terminals that view information, and so on.

[0075] The device for implementing simultaneous translation in the embodiment, when the output device is located in the middle of the connection link, after obtaining the information of the corresponding language of the device, continues to transmit the translation information to the latter output device, thereby realizing the translation information. One-to-many transmission expands the transmission distance and range of translation information, enabling translation devices to send information in different languages to different output devices, enabling simultaneous playback of multi-language information, improving translation efficiency and translation effects of the entire system. Improved user experience.

[0076] Referring to FIG. 5, an embodiment of a system for implementing simultaneous translation according to the present invention is provided. The system includes a translation device and at least two output devices connected in sequence, wherein:

[0077] Translation device: for transmitting translation information to an output device connected thereto.

[0078] an output device: configured to receive translation information, obtain information of a corresponding language from the translation information; determine whether the device is the last output device in the connection link; and when not the last output device, transmit the translation information to The latter output device connected to it.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present invention, the translation device and the at least two output devices may be sequentially connected through a wireless connection manner such as Bluetooth or Wireless Fidelity (W IFI), or may be sequentially connected through a wired connection. Turn over The specific process of establishing a connection between a translation device and an output device is:

[0080] The translation device initiates a connection request to an output device as the identity of the master device. The output device accepts a connection request from the translation device from the identity of the device and establishes a connection with the translation device. The output device then initiates a connection request to the other output device as the master device. Another output device accepts a connection request from the output device and establishes a connection with the output device. And so on, until the translation device establishes a connection with at least two output devices in turn.

[0081] The translation device may be a dedicated translation machine, or may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet. The output device can be any output device capable of outputting sound information and/or visual information, such as a device for outputting sound information such as a headset (such as a Bluetooth headset), a mobile terminal for outputting sound information and/or visual information such as a mobile phone or a tablet.

[0082] The translation information sent by the translation device may be voice information and/or text information. The translation information may include information in only one language, and may also include information in at least two languages. For example, the translation device is followed by n output devices, and the translation information includes information in n languages, that is, each output device will obtain information in a corresponding language.

[0083] When the translation information includes information in at least two languages, the translation device needs to set different identification information for the information of the different languages, so that the subsequent output device can identify the information of the corresponding language of the device. Alternatively, identification information may be used by setting different frame headers for information in different languages.

[0084] The output device receives the translation information in the identity of the slave device, and after receiving the translation information, acquires the information of the corresponding language of the device from the translation information, and joins the play buffer. When the translated information includes only information in one language, the output device can obtain the information directly without identifying it. When the translation information includes information in at least two languages, the output device needs to identify the information of the corresponding language in the translation information according to the identification information of the information in the different language, and then select the information of the corresponding language. The output device selects the information of the corresponding language, and can extract the information directly from the translated information, or copy the information.

[0085] The output device can determine whether the device is the last output device in the connection link by the following manner

[0086] Optionally, the output device may detect whether the device is connected to two devices; when two devices are connected, it is determined that the device is not the last output device in the connection link, and is a bridge in the connection link. Device; when only one device is connected, it is determined that the device is the last output device in the connection link [0087] Alternatively, the output device may detect whether the device is connected to other devices as the identity of the master device; when connected to other devices as the identity of the master device, it is determined that the device is not the last output device in the connection link. , is the bridge device in the connection link; when it is not connected to other devices as the master device, it is determined that the device is the last output device in the connection link.

[0088] When the output device determines that the device is not the last output device in the connection link, the output device transmits the translation information to the latter output device connected thereto as the identity of the master device. Otherwise, the output device no longer transmits the translation information and immediately outputs the information of the corresponding language. The output device can output the information through the sounding device and/or the display, such as playing voice information through the sounding device, displaying text information through the display screen, and the like.

[0089] When the output device is not the last output device in the connection link, it is a bridge device in the connection link, and the bridge device establishes a communication connection with the two devices before and after the two communication links respectively. In this case, the output device can receive and transmit translation information through two different communication links, respectively. Alternatively, the output device can distinguish two different communication links by a frequency hopping sequence, thereby switching the corresponding communication link to the communication link of the current transmission information. In addition, the output device can control the identity of the master device and the identity of the slave device through the control of the internal state machine.

[0090] Further, before the output device sends the translation information to the next output device, the playback device further sets the playback delay so that all the output devices on the connection link can synchronously play the voice information and/or the text information. Specifically, the playback delay may be set to T, and T=Nt, where Ν is the number of other output devices connected in sequence after the output device, and t is required for transmitting translation information between the two output devices. between.

[0091] The embodiment of the present invention implements a system for simultaneous translation, which forms a chain scatter network by sequentially connecting a translation device and at least two output devices, and an output device located in the middle of the connection link acquires information of a language corresponding to the device. After continuing to transfer the translation information to the latter output device, the one-to-many transmission of the translated information is realized, and the transmission distance and range of the translated information are expanded, so that the translation device can transmit the information of different languages to different output devices, thereby realizing more Synchronous playback of language information improves the translation efficiency and translation of the entire system and enhances the user experience.
