Apparatus, method, and computer program product for supporting in communication through translation between different languages
First Claim
1. A communication supporting apparatus comprising:
- a rule storage unit that stores an extraction condition and a linking procedure linked with the extraction condition;
an input receiving unit that receives a first speech in a first language and a second speech in a second language;
an extracting unit that extracts a keyword from the first speech based on the extraction condition stored in the rule storage unit;
a translation unit that translates the first speech from the first language into the second language;
an output unit that outputs the translated first speech in the second language; and
a linking unit that links the keyword extracted by the extracting unit with the second speech, whereinthe input receiving unit receives the second speech spoken immediately after outputting of the translated first speech,the linking unit links the extracted keyword with the second speech based on the linking procedure that is utilized for outputting the extracted keyword linked with the second speech in the second language spoken after the first speech in the first language, and corresponds to the extraction condition,the translation unit further translates the second speech linked with the extracted keyword from the second language into the first language, andthe output unit further outputs the extracted keyword in the first language linked with the second speech, and the translated second speech.

Abstract
A communication supporting apparatus includes a rule storage unit that stores an extraction condition for extracting a keyword from a speech and a linking procedure linked with the extraction condition; an input receiving unit that receives an input of a speech; an extracting unit that extracts a keyword from a first speech in a first language based on the extraction condition stored in the rule storage unit; a translation unit that translates the first speech from the first language into a second language; an output unit that outputs the translated first speech; and a linking unit that links the extracted keyword with a second speech spoken in a second language immediately after the output first speech based on the linking procedure made to correspond to the extraction condition used when the keyword is extracted.

13. A communication method comprising:
-
receiving a first speech in a first language; extracting a keyword from the first speech in the first language, based on an extraction condition; translating the first speech from the first language into a second language; outputting the translated first speech in the second language; receiving a second speech in the second language, immediately after outputting of the translated first speech in the second language; linking the second speech in the second language, with the extracted keyword in the first language based on a linking procedure correspond to the extraction condition, the linking procedure being utilized for outputting the extracted keyword linked with the second speech in the second language spoken after the first speech in the first language; translating the second speech from the second language into the first language; and outputting the extracted keyword in the first language linked with the second speech, and the translated second speech.
