COMMUNICATION DEVICE FOR FACILITATING VERBAL COMMUNICATION FOR DEAF OR HEARING IMPAIRED PEOPLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240264439 titled 'COMMUNICATION DEVICE FOR FACILITATING VERBAL COMMUNICATION FOR DEAF OR HEARING IMPAIRED PEOPLE

The communication device described in the patent application is a wearable device that can detect lip movements and convert them into corresponding words, which are then reproduced as sound or data.

  • The device includes a support structure worn at eye level, a first synthesizer with sensors to detect lip movements, reproduction means for playing back the generated words, and a second synthesizer for processing the sound or data.
  • The first synthesizer converts lip movements into words, while the second synthesizer processes the sound or data produced by the reproduction means.
  • This technology allows users to communicate hands-free by simply moving their lips, making it ideal for situations where speaking out loud is not possible.
  • The device can have applications in various fields such as assistive technology for individuals with speech impairments, language translation, and hands-free communication in noisy environments.
  • By addressing the need for hands-free communication and speech recognition, this technology offers convenience and accessibility to a wide range of users.
  • Commercial applications of this technology could include wearable communication devices for individuals with disabilities, language translation devices for travelers, and hands-free communication tools for professionals working in noisy environments.

Questions about the wearable communication device:

1. How does the device detect and convert lip movements into words?

  - The device uses sensors integrated into the support structure to detect lip movements and convert them into words through a synthesizer.

2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond hands-free communication?

  - The technology can be used for language translation, assistive communication for individuals with speech impairments, and enhancing communication in noisy environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

a communication device comprises a support structure () adapted to be worn by a user at eye level, a first synthesizer () integral with the support structure () and provided with one or more sensors suitable for detecting the lip produced by the user and turn it into the corresponding words, reproduction means () suitable for reproducing sound and/or data corresponding to the words generated by the first synthesizer (), a second synthesizer () suitable to turn into audio and/or word processing the sound and/or data produced by the reproduction means () and/or received from the outside.
