Problems solved by technology

[0004] But the problem is that for people who do not understand English or Chinese characters, such as the elderly or children, text recognition itself is useless, especially for the elderly and other people with poor eyesight, it is difficult to confirm the content through a small LCD screen
[0005] In addition, most terminals only process still images, and signboards or signboards with a lot of content sometimes cannot include all the content in one photo, and it is necessary to take multiple photos to form a panoramic image and then recognize the text

Abstract

The present invention discloses a mobile communication terminal with function for converting shooted letters into voice and method thereof. The present inventive mobile communication terminal with function for converting shooted letters into voice includes: an image identification portion, identifying the images passing through the camera; a text conversion portion, picking up the text contained in the image identified by the said image identification portion, and converting them to the text signals; a voice conversion portion, converting the text signals converted from the said text conversion portion into voice signals; and a voice output portion, converting the voice converted from the voice conversion portion to the external. The effect of the invention that it uses image taking cameras basically installed in the most of the recent mobile communication terminals, if the cameras take the picture of the text occured in the road signs or signboards, so that the users can understand the content of corresponding signs by the voice, which allows the tourists that are not familiar with the Geography, or the children, the elder, the blind that do not speak English or Chinese, more easily to understand the surrounding circumstances.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal system with an image shooting function, in particular to a mobile communication terminal capable of automatically translating characters on signboards or signboards on roads and transmitting them by voice through a loudspeaker and having the function of converting captured characters into voice and its method . Background technique [0002] Recently, with the increase in the population of mobile communication terminals (cellular phones, PCS (personal communications service) phones, PDA (personal digital assistant-personal digital assistant) phones, etc.), terminals with more functions and designs are coming to the market , recently, camera phones with built-in high-pixel cameras that can easily input or transmit images have become the mainstream of mobile phones. [0003] This camera phone can receive an image (still image or moving image) input from a camera module installed outside the...
