Virtual sign language system
One embodiment provides a method, the method including: receiving, at an information handling device utilizing a virtual sign language system, sign language element inputs from a user provided on a virtual keyboard; determining, utilizing the virtual sign language system, a set of sign language element search results resulting from the sign language element inputs; receiving, from the user at the virtual keyboard, input selecting one search result from the set of search results; and providing, utilizing the virtual sign language system, an output corresponding to the selected one search result. Other aspects are claimed and described.
1. A method, the method comprising:
receiving, at an information handling device utilizing a virtual sign language system, sign language element inputs from a user provided on a virtual keyboard, wherein the receiving comprises updating the virtual keyboard based upon the sign language elements inputs received from the user;
determining, utilizing the virtual sign language system, a set of sign language element search results resulting from the sign language element inputs;
receiving, from the user at the virtual keyboard, input selecting one search result from the set of search results; and
providing, utilizing the virtual sign language system, an output corresponding to the selected one search result.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sign language element inputs comprises inputs identifying at least one of: a parameter and a phonological restriction of the sign language element.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the parameter of the sign language element comprises a handshape.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the parameter of the sign language element comprises a location the sign language element is provided with respect to a human body.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the parameter of the sign language element comprises a movement when the sign language element is performed.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the phonological restriction of the sign language element is a handed-type.
7. The method of claim 1 , comprising displaying the virtual keyboard, wherein the virtual keyboard comprises a plurality of sign language element input areas, each of the plurality of sign language element input areas corresponding to a parameter or a phonological restriction of the sign language element.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining comprises displaying a plurality of search results that correspond to the received sign language element inputs.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the output comprises a video of the selected one search result.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the output comprises a textual form of the selected one search result.
11. A system, the system comprising:
a virtual keyboard;
a processor;
a memory device that stores instructions that when executed by the processor, causes the system to:
receive, utilizing a virtual sign language system, sign language element inputs from a user provided on the virtual keyboard, wherein to receive comprises updating the virtual keyboard based upon the sign language elements inputs received from the user;
determine, utilizing the virtual sign language system, a set of sign language element search results resulting from the sign language element inputs;
receive, from the user at the virtual keyboard, input selecting one search result from the set of search results; and
provide, utilizing the virtual sign language system, an output corresponding to the selected one search result.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the sign language element inputs comprises input identifying at least one of: a parameter and a phonological restriction of the sign language element.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the parameter of the sign language element comprises a handshape.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the parameter of the sign language element comprises a location the sign language element is provided with respect to a human body.
15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the parameter of the sign language element comprises a movement when the sign language element is performed.
16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the phonological restriction of the sign language element is handed-type.
17. The system of claim 11 , comprising displaying the virtual keyboard, wherein the virtual keyboard comprises a plurality of sign language element input areas, each of the plurality of sign language element input areas corresponding to a parameter or a phonological restriction of the sign language element.
18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the output comprises a video of the selected one search result.
19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the output comprises a textual form of the selected one search result.
20. A product, the product comprising:
a computer-readable storage device that stores executable code that, when executed by the processor, causes the product to:
receive, utilizing a virtual sign language system, sign language element inputs from a user provided on a virtual keyboard, wherein to receive comprises updating the virtual keyboard based upon the sign language elements inputs received from the user;
determine, utilizing the virtual sign language system, a set of sign language element search results resulting from the sign language element inputs;
receive, from the user at the virtual keyboard, input selecting one search result from the set of search results; and
provide, utilizing the virtual sign language system, an output corresponding to the selected one search result.
