Language translation with head-worn computing
View Patent ↗Aspects of the present invention relate to language translation systems for head-worn computers.
1. A language translation system, comprising:
a head-worn computer including a microphone and an audio communication system, wherein the head-worn computer is adapted to record a spoken utterance of a person wearing the head-worn computer, convert the spoken utterance into a language other than a first spoken language represented by the spoken utterance, forming translated language;
a speaker adapted to produce sound intensity such that a person at a conversational distance can hear the sound at a conversational level, the speaker in communication with the head-worn computer through the audio communication system; and
the head-worn computer further adapted to communicate the translated language to the speaker and displaying, in a see-through head-worn display mechanically supported by the head-worn computer, a visual representation of the first spoken language;
wherein the speaker produces sound less than 80 db at a distance of 5 feet from the speaker.
2. The language system of claim 1 , wherein the audio communication system is a wired system providing audio signals to the speaker.
3. The language system of claim 1 , wherein the audio communication system is a wireless system providing audio signals to the speaker.
4. The language system of claim 1 , wherein the speaker produces sound of less than 40 db at a distance of 5 feet from the speaker.
5. The language system of claim 1 , wherein the speaker produces sound of less than 60 db at a distance of 5 feet from the speaker.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the head-worn computer is further adapted to convert the spoken utterances into the translated language, wherein the translated language has a audible spectrum based on the user's spoken utterances.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the audible spectrum is determined through an analysis of the spoken utterances spectrum, wherein the analysis results in one of a plurality of tones to be used when communicating the translated language to the speaker.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one tone is at least one of a high male tone, mid-tone male, low male tone, high female tone, mid-tone female, low female tone.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the speaker is mechanically adapted to fit into a shirt pocket of the user.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the speaker is mechanically adapted to clip onto a shirt of the user.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the head-worn computer is further adapted with a user interface that turns off the displaying of the visual representation of the first spoken language.
