AUTOMATIC INTERPRETATION APPARATUS AND METHOD USING UTTERANCE SIMILARITY MEASURE
First Claim
1. An automatic interpretation apparatus comprising:
- a voice recognizing unit receiving a first-language voice and generating a first-language sentence through a voice recognition operation;
a language processing unit extracting elements included in the first-language sentence;
a similarity calculating unit comparing the extracted elements with elements included in a translated sentence stored in a translated sentence database and calculating the similarity between the first-language sentence and the translated sentence on the basis of the comparison result;
a sentence translating unit translating the first-language sentence into a second-language sentence with reference to the translated sentence database according to the calculated similarity; and
a voice synthesizing unit detecting voice data corresponding to the second-language sentence and synthesizing the detected voice data to output an analog voice signal corresponding to the second-language sentence.

Abstract
Provided is an automatic interpretation apparatus including a voice recognizing unit, a language processing unit, a similarity calculating unit, a sentence translating unit, and a voice synthesizing unit. The voice recognizing unit receives a first-language voice and generates a first-language sentence through a voice recognition operation. The language processing unit extracts elements included in the first-language sentence. The similarity calculating unit compares the extracted elements with elements included in a translated sentence stored in a translated sentence database and calculates the similarity between the first-language sentence and the translated sentence on the basis of the comparison result. The sentence translating unit translates the first-language sentence into a second-language sentence with reference to the translated sentence database according to the calculated similarity. The voice synthesizing unit detects voice data corresponding to the second-language sentence and synthesizes the detected voice data to output an analog voice signal corresponding to the second-language sentence.
