METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING TRANSLATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18237158 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING TRANSLATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that can acquire audio from an external device, cancel echo, and transmit the audio data. It can also receive audio data from the external device, translate it, and transmit the translation information back to the external device. The device includes a processor, a communication module, and a microphone.
- The device acquires audio from an external device through a connected microphone and communication module.
- It cancels echo from the acquired audio to generate clean audio data.
- The clean audio data is transmitted back to the external device.
- The device can also receive audio or audio data from the external device through its microphone.
- It translates the received audio data and obtains translation information.
- The translation information is transmitted back to the external device.
- The device outputs the translation information.
Potential Applications:
- Language translation devices: This technology can be used in devices that provide real-time translation services, allowing users to communicate with others who speak different languages.
- Conference call systems: The device can be integrated into conference call systems to provide automatic translation services, enabling participants who speak different languages to understand each other.
- Assistive communication devices: People with hearing impairments can use this technology to communicate with others by translating spoken language into text or sign language.
Problems Solved:
- Language barriers: The technology solves the problem of language barriers by providing real-time translation, allowing people who speak different languages to communicate effectively.
- Echo cancellation: The device cancels echo from the acquired audio, ensuring clear and high-quality audio transmission.
Benefits:
- Improved communication: The technology enables seamless communication between individuals who speak different languages, fostering better understanding and collaboration.
- Convenience: Users can easily communicate with others without the need for manual translation or interpretation.
- Accessibility: The technology makes communication more accessible for individuals with hearing impairments or language difficulties.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a processor configured to: acquire first audio a microphone being connected with an external device through a communication module; generate first audio data by cancelling an echo from the acquired first audio; transmit the first audio data to an external device; receive at least one of second audio or second audio data, the second audio or the second audio data being acquired through a microphone of the external device from the external device; translate the first audio data and obtain first translation information; translate the second audio data and obtain second translation information; transmit the first translation information to the external device; and output the second translation information.
