Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of display unit of the present invention.As shown in Figure 1, display unit of the present invention comprises control module 110, processing module 120, translation module 140, dictionary database 150, display module 170.Wherein control module 110 receives interpretive order.Processing module 120 indicates one of them after being responsible for the caption signal in the signal of video signal that receives is divided into each individual character, and after translation module 140 is passed translation data back, synthetic translation data and signal of video signal.Translation module 140 is responsible for receiving the individual character that processed module 120 indicates, and reads the translation data that is labeled individual character then in dictionary database 150, and translation data is sent to processing module 120; Dictionary database 150 stores the translation data of individual character.Display module 170 is responsible for output image signal.
Below explain orally operation system of the present invention and method with an embodiment, the display unit of present embodiment is example with the Digital Television, but display unit of the present invention is as limit, the present invention also can carry out on the display unit of other signal capable of displaying image.When display unit is a Digital Television, then signal of video signal is digital signal; When display unit is traditional TV, then signal of video signal is an analog signal.
Please refer to Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 A is the flow chart of caption translating method of the present invention.Digital Television 100 for example receives signal of video signal from cable, and after treatment, exports the display module 170 (as shown in Figure 3A) of Digital Television 100 to.Wherein signal of video signal comprises background frame 310 and caption signal 320.
After Digital Television 100 was enabled, processing module 120 received signal of video signal (step 201).Secondly, 120 of processing modules are utilized to separate to calculate signal of video signal are separated into background frame 310 and caption signal 320, and then by other unit (figure does not show) background frame 310 and caption signal 320 are dealt with (step 210) respectively.
Then, 120 of processing modules utilize individual character cutting computing that caption signal 320 is divided into several individual characters (step 220).Wherein, this individual character cutting computing can for example be that a plurality of letters on this caption signal 320 are judged, when judgement learns that distance between adjacent two letters is greater than a predeterminable range, then cut with these two letters, and to be considered as be two individual characters (it is last letter of previous individual character that the letter on the left side is considered as, and it is first letter of a back individual character that the letter on the right is considered as).Above individual character cutting mode is for example, but in fact not as limit.
Shown in Fig. 3 B, captions 320 are divided into first individual character 321 " This ", second individual character 322 " is ", the 3rd individual character 323 " a ", the 4th individual character 324 individual characters such as " notebook " to individual character by the result after cutting apart.
When user 400 finds in the captions 320 unfamiliar individual character " notebook " to be arranged, can pick up remote controller 101, and press the function key on the remote controller 101, for example " translation " key.So remote controller 101 can send the signal that the contains interpretive order control module 110 to the Digital Television 100.As shown in Figure 4, the user might not use a teleswitch and 101 just can translate, and also can be contained the signal of interpretive order by 341 inputs of the button on the control panel of Digital Television.
After control module 110 receives interpretive order (step 230), can give processing module 120 with interpretive order.120 of processing modules indicate first individual character 321 according to this interpretive order on the captions of display module 170, for example anti-white, the frame of individual character is gone out individual character, cursor etc. occurs before individual character.Shown in Fig. 3 C, use frame to go out individual character in the present embodiment and represent the individual character that is labeled, but the present invention is not as limit.
Then the user presses " translation " key three times continuously, processing module 120 just can receive interpretive order three times, so processing module 120 frame in regular turn goes out second individual character 322, the 3rd individual character 323, the 4th individual character 324, and rest on the 4th individual character 324,400 unfamiliar individual characters of user " notebook " (step 240) just are as Fig. 3 D.
After processing module 120 marks individual character (for example when judge to learn judge that promptly selected this individual character of user is a desire translation individual character when in a Preset Time, not receiving interpretive order again).Promptly, processing module 120 can just not send the individual character that is labeled to translation module 140 to read translation data usually at once after receiving interpretive order, therefore can design a time of delay, indicate as user 400 (step 240) behind the individual character that will translate, 120 a period of times of processing module (for example 3 tips of a twig) do not receive interpretive order again, processing module 120 just can transmit the individual character that is labeled to translation module 140, makes translation module 140 read translation data (step 250) in dictionary database 150.
120 of processing modules send the individual character that is labeled to translation module 140.Translation module 140 just can by read in the dictionary database 150 the 4th individual character 324 " notebook " and translation data 330 (step 250), and translation data 330 is returned to processing module 120.Processing module 120 is after synthetic with translation data 330 and signal of video signal, the signal of video signal that is about to include background frame, caption signal, translation data sends display module to, show translation data 330 (step 260) by display module 170 at last, shown in " Fig. 3 E ".
In addition, processing module 120 is not limited to show translation data 330 with mode to the display module 170 that transmits the resultant image signal.For example, processing module 120 also can convert translation data 330 to caption signal, is resent to display module 170 and shows; Perhaps, processing module 120 can screen video control (On-Screen Display, mode OSD) is presented at translation data on the picture 300.
In the above-described embodiment, shown in Fig. 2 B, processing module 120 can be to cut out each individual character (step 210, step 220) in before will be in advance by signal of video signal receiving interpretive order (step 230).Because signal of video signal constantly is transfused to, the load that causes processing module 120 is nearly all consumed on the cutting individual character.Therefore in order to reduce the load of processing module 120, processing module 120 can be to receive interpretive order (step 230) afterwards, again by the step that cuts out each individual character in the signal of video signal (step 210, step 220).
Comprehensive the above, caption translating method of the present invention can optionally be translated at the captions on the TV, not only can allow the user more can understand programme content, also allows the user increase the chance of learning foreign language simultaneously.
Though the present invention with aforesaid preferred embodiment openly as above; yet it is not in order to limit the present invention; change that any those of ordinary skill in the art does without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and retouching; all belong to scope of patent protection of the present invention, therefore scope of patent protection of the present invention should be as the criterion with the protection range that this specification appending claims is defined.
