Abstract
Systems and methods for displaying visual content to a user corresponding to sound captured at a user terminal are disclosed. After receiving over a network from a user terminal a request to convert sound into a visual content representing the sound, wherein the sound comprises one or more words, a translation server may retrieve text corresponding to the one or more words from a database. The translation server may then convert the text into one or more content phrases, wherein the content phrases represent the meaning of the one or more words, and convert each of the one or more content phrases into a new language. Finally, the translation server may send visual content to the user terminal representing the new language.
Claims26
A system, comprising:
- a content database configured to store records that include information describing content phrases and translated visual language counterparts for the content phrases;
- and
- a translation server in selective communication with the content database and configured to:
- convert a text that includes at least one word of written language into at least one content phrase representing a meaning conveyed by the at least one word;
- and
- query the content database using the at least one content phrase to determine a corresponding visual content equivalent of the at least one content phrase.
A method comprising:
- converting, by at least one processing device, a text including at least one word into at least one content phrase representing a meaning conveyed by the at least one word;
- querying a content database using the at least one content phrase to determine a corresponding visual content equivalent of the at least one content phrase, the content database storing records including information describing content phrases and translated visual language counterparts for the content phrases;
- and
- generating a graphical translator agent configured to display the visual content.
A non-transitory computer readable medium tangibly embodying computer executable instructions, the instructions including instructions to:
- capture sound received by a user terminal, the sound including one or more words;
- send the sound to a translation server to
- convert the sound into text that includes at least one word of written language corresponding to the sound,
- convert the text into at least one content phrase representing a meaning conveyed by the at least one word, and
- determine a corresponding visual content equivalent of the sound;
- receive a graphical translator agent from the translation server, the graphical translator agent configured to display the corresponding visual content equivalent;
- and
- display the graphical translator agent on the user terminal.
