Abstract
Abstract A computer assisted language translating machine comprising a morpheme analyzer for separating a source language sentence, transmitted from a communication appliance, into morphemes; a syntax analyzer for analyzing the syntax of a string of the morphemes; a converter for converting a syntactic structure of the input sentence into a syntactic structure of the target language; a sentence generator for generating a translated sentence according to the syntactic structure of the target language; a first storage unit for storing character data forming the source language sentence; a character data writing device for sequentially writing the character data; a character data reading device for reading the character data from the first storage unit after a predetermined time subsequent to the writing of the character data into the first storage unit; a second storage unit for storing the character data read out from the first storage unit; a discriminator for determining whether or not the character data read out by the character data reading device represents the end of one sentence; and a translation starting means operable, when the discriminator indicates that the character data read out represents the end of one sentence, to initiate a translation with respect to the character data representative of such one sentence and stored in the second storage unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
296 words
A computer assisted language translating machine comprising: a morpheme analyzer for separating a source language sentence, transmitted from a communication appliance, into morphemes to provide information including parts of speech of the morphemes with the use of at least a fixed main dictionary; a syntax analyzer for analyzing the syntax of a string of the morphemes, which have been separated by the morpheme analyzer, with the use of a dictionary and grammatical rules; a converter for converting a syntactic structure of the input sentence, analyzed by the syntax analyzer, into a syntactic structure of the target language; a sentence generator for generating a translated sentence according to the syntactic structure of the target language converted by the converter; a first storage unit for storing character data forming the source language sentence; a character data writing means for sequentially writing the character data in the order in which the character data are inputted from the communication appliance; a character data reading means for reading the character data from the first storage unit in the order, in which the character data are sequentially stored in the first storage unit, after a predetermined time subsequent to the writing of the character data into the first storage unit; a second storage unit for storing the character data read out by the character data reading means from the first storage unit; a discriminating means for determining whether or not the character data read out by the character data reading means represents the end of one sentence; and a translation starting means operable, when the discriminating means indicates that the character data read out represents the end of one sentence, to initiate a translation with respect to the character data representative of such one sentence and stored in the second storage unit.
