Abstract
A picture based communication system and mechanisms of implementation thereof allowing for rapid translation of picture based input into words or sentences of a previously chosen output language. Communication systems may be incorporated on PCs, mobile devices or may be a software running on a remote system which allows for language-independent messages to be constructed, which can be de-constructed into any language on the receiver's side. Mechanisms of implementation would also be of assistance in allowing people with language difficulties, dyslexia or illiteracy to communicate effectively.
Claims34
A method of picture based communication by a user, said method comprising:
- obtaining input from said user using a processor through a sequence of picture selections on a user device by an input/arrangement module;
- representing meaning of said input through a spatial configuration of words by a retrieval module and a deconversion module;
- transforming said spatial configuration of words into a sentence of particular language by an output module;
- and
- communicating said sentence of particular language to a party receiving said communication, through a user interface module, wherein said language is based on an input representing mode of communication received from said user.
A system of picture based communication by at least a user, said system comprising:
- at least an input/arrangement module for obtaining at least an input from said user using a processor through a sequence of picture selections on a user device;
- at least a retrieval module and a deconversion module for representing meaning of said input through at least a spatial configuration of words;
- at least an output module for transforming said spatial configuration of words into at least a sentence of particular language;
- and
- at least a user interface module for communicating said sentence of particular language to a party receiving said communication, wherein said language is based on an input representing mode of communication received from said user.
A system for picture based communication by a user, said system comprising:
- a user interface module for obtaining at least a user input using a processor in the form of picture selections, wherein said user is presented with a plurality of choices to identify relevant disambiguated words (DWs), associated cascaded set of questions and answers and descriptors for identified DWs;
- a retrieval module for retrieving DWs and for providing said user input information for constructing a sentence;
- an arrangement module to construct a hypergraph of DWs using said user input;
- a deconversion module to convert a hypergraph of DWs into a natural language sentence;
- an input module for receiving input from a plurality of user interface devices;
- and
- an output module for providing output to said plurality of user interface devices.
