 Method and device for natural universal writing

GENERAL TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a device and a method of natural universal writing.

STATE OF THE ART

In linguistics, the term "ideogram" is used to designate minimal graphic signs that constitute a morpheme or a word (lexie), and the term "lexeme" to designate a signifying unit. Written communication will be the representation of speech or thought by graphic signs or conventional ideographs.

Studies have been conducted on the functioning of the human brain and its evolution. The brain has evolved from symmetrical structure and operation to a structure with two distinct hemispheres.

Thus, the left hemisphere of the brain is specific to the analysis of detail, while the right hemisphere is specific to global vision and visual language. More precisely, to create thought, the right brain combines and associates ideas in the form of images at a very high speed, and, in a second stage, thought being elaborated, it transfers it to the left brain, which declines it into a language. phonetic and controls its verbal expression. In the natural language of the brain, ideas in the form of images have the characteristics of an image representative of a lexeme.

Studies have led to the conclusion that one can consider the brain as having two processors, a high spatial frequency predominant in the left hemisphere, and a predominantly low spatial frequency in the right hemisphere, the spatial frequency being the number of cycles of optical density per unit length. The processors of the left hemisphere are located in an area called the Wernicke area. There is thus a visual processor and a phonetic processor. The phonetic processor processes the information at a speed of about 2 words per second, or 1 word every 500 milliseconds. In the symmetrical zone of the right hemisphere, we find a visual processor, which processes the information in a global way, without going into detail. This processor processes the information visually, and in a silent manner, since the right hemisphere has no phonetic processor. Information is thus associated with a known image, a representation of said information known to the individual. The right hemisphere visual processor processes information at a rate of approximately one image every 30 milliseconds, provided that it is an image that does not require detailed processing, in which case this processing detail is done by the visual processor of the left hemisphere. This analysis is developed in "Brain Visual Processing Units and Language Evolution." Applications to several Brain impairments. Georges Rieu, BRENATOR editions, 2007. ISBN: 2-9504144-4-3.

A conventional communication will thus be captured by the phonetic processor of the left hemisphere, interpreted globally by the visual processor of the right hemisphere, and then retransmitted to the phonetic processor of the left hemisphere to provide a phonetic response.

Studies have enabled the development of scripts that can be interpreted directly by the visual processor of the right hemisphere, and thus be read quickly, universally. Thus, the book "Flash-Bren, The Natural Language Of The Brain" by Georges Rieu, ISBN 2-9504144-1 -9 uses simplified pictograms for the representation of ideas.

The current development of international bodies, offshoring, and more generally globalization tend to make us think that such writings, intuitive and universal would know an important development. Indeed, institutions such as the United Nations, or the European Parliament are proof of the constraints arising from the diversity of language. In the same way, the various relocations of companies lead to a complexification of communications within the same company, or between trading partners, which would not be necessary in case of communication via a universal script.

Patent applications have been filed for devices to quickly find a lexeme image among thousands. The document FR 2861886 presents a device and a process for processing selected information in a hyperdense array, allowing the selection of ideograms among a multitude, in a condensed table at most.

The document FR 2807560 presents a device and a method for editing images representative of ideas. The presented device presents ideograms classified in categories, and several levels of subcategories, and means allowing the selection of an accurate graphic sign.

However, this writing did not know the expected development, and has not been put into practice. PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Figure 1 shows a natural universal writing device.

This device 1 comprises a first display means 10 for an initial text, a second display means 20 for the transcription in natural universal writing, written input means 30, oral input means 40, for example a microphone. The device shown also comprises a loudspeaker 50, used in certain specific applications which will be detailed later. The initial communication can be entered by several means. The user can enter a communication using the input means 30, these input means can be for example a keyboard, a write recognition device or any other appropriate means. By way of example, FIG. 1 shows a device 1 comprising input means 30 composed of a stylus 32 and a touch zone 34 making it possible to recognize the characters 36 entered by the user. The device shown in Figure 1 has two input modes; a imported text 12 on a first display means 10, and input means 30. It will be understood that the device uses one or the other of the input modes at a time, the characters 36 input by means of the stylus 32 are shown in Figure 1 by way of example only. The user can also dictate a communication, said communication is captured by means of oral input 40, then processed by means of a voice recognition device, and can then be transposed in written form. Other developments are possible; for example, importing a computer file comprising a communication to be transcribed, or obtaining said communication via text recognition means associated with a scanner.

The communication input, transposed via said voice recognition device or imported is then displayed 12 on the first display means 10 in the case where it is a written communication. The device then implements means for transcribing said communication from the initial language to the natural universal script. The transcription in natural universal writing 22 is then displayed on the second display means 20.

Figure 2 shows the different steps of the method of transcription of the communication in natural universal writing.

The first step 210 is a step of acquiring the communication to be transcribed. This step corresponds to the introduction of physical data to be transcribed. This acquisition can be done via input means as described above.

The second step 220 is an optional transcription step of the communication to be transcribed in at least one other language, called the transition language. This second optional step simplifies the subsequent steps, as will be understood from reading the examples presented below. We can classify languages according to two categories: inflectional languages and insulating languages. A language is inflectional (English, French, Japanese, ...) if the words change with their grammatical role. For example, the conjugate forms of a verb correspond to inflections, and more generally, the words include grammatical indications such as gender, number, function, time, mode, category. A language is insulating when all words remain invariable regardless of their roles in the sentence. This is the case, for example, of Mandarin written with characters or Thai written with an alphabet. A transcription based on a representation by lexemes images will necessarily be insulating, an image can not have inflections, two images can only be compared or associated. It will be understood that passing through an insulating tongue makes it possible to simplify the following steps of the transcription process. Moreover, the more flexible a language is, the less importance the syntax has. A language such as English, where syntax is important, is therefore of interest despite its inflectional nature.

This step 220 can if necessary be subdivided into two sub-steps; the original text is first translated into a first transition language, then the translation of the text can be translated into a second transition language. Thus, for example, for an initial communication in French, perform a first translation into a first transition language, for example English, and then perform a second translation into a second transition language, for example Mandarin. . The use of two successive translations makes it possible to exploit the existing translation tools, which are more developed for languages used internationally. Thus, in the examples of transition languages proposed, English is a highly developed language in international relations, hence the development of high-performance translators into this language. This translation can then be used to translate the communication into an isolating language, for example Mandarin, the translation tools from English to Mandarin being performers for the same reasons. The development of translation tools from any language into English and Mandarin allows to overcome the approximations generated by multiple translations of the same communication. Of course, the use of transition languages other than English and Chinese is also possible These translations remain optional, but the interest of English is to be emphasized, because of the existing translation tools, and its structure which is close to the structure of insulating languages.

The third step 230 corresponds to a step of identifying elementary segments within communication segments, of which said communication to be transcribed is composed, each elementary segment corresponding to at least one sense unit within the communication segments. By way of example, the communication segments of a communication to be transcribed may be sentences, and the elementary segments of the words or groups of words having at least one sense unit. For example, the inflections of the verb "to go" such as: go, go, go, are associated with the unity of sense "to go". Other inflections can be associated with the unit of sense "go", as well as with a unit of sense of time. For example, "go," "go," will be associated with "go" and "future" sense units.

The fourth step 240 corresponds to the allocation of a code to said elementary segments according to their unit (s) of meaning.

The said elementary segments are identified and classified according to categories such as scenery, actor, action and result. These categories can then be segmented into more specific sub-categories. The category grouping what is attractive to the decor may for example be divided into a subcategory corresponding to time, and a subcategory corresponding to the place ... The category grouping what has appeal to the actor may for example be divided into sub-categories corresponding to the designation, the number, the quality, the thing / to be ...

The category grouping what is attractive to the action may for example be divided into sub-categories corresponding to the manner, the action / the state, the completed / continuous character, the number of times, the duration ...

The category grouping what attracts the result can for example be divided into sub-categories corresponding to the designation, the number, the quality, the thing / the being ... Once the various elementary segments have been identified, a code assigned to them according to the categories and subcategories to which their corresponding sense unit (s) belong.

Examples of classification and code are the following categories and sub-categories: - "decor" category, code A o "time" sub-category, code A1 o "Place" sub-category, code A2

- "Actor" category, code B o Sub-category "designation", code B1 o Sub-category "number", code B2 o Subcategory "quality", code B3 o Subcategory "thing / be", code B4

- Category "action", code C o Subcategory "way", code C1 o Subcategory "action / state", code C2 o Subcategory "completed / continuous", code C3 o Subcategory "number of times", code C4 o Subcategory "duration", code C5

- Category «result», code D o Subcategory «designation», code D1 o Subcategory «number», code D2 o Subcategory «quality», code D3 o Sub category "to be / thing", code D4

The fifth step 250 corresponds to the reorganization of the elementary segments in a predetermined order. The various elementary segments, which were classified in step 240, are now rearranged according to a predetermined order depending on the code assigned to them.

The predetermined order corresponds to the order most adapted to the functioning of the human brain. The predetermined order can however be adapted, according to the culture of the users, and according to the future evolutions of the comprehension of the human brain. For example, it is possible to reverse the order of "quality" and "being / thing", which may facilitate understanding across cultures. The brain, however, is able to restore order, even if this order is not the most appropriate order, in order to give meaning to the communication. However, it will require more time to understand the communication. By way of example, using the classification and the codes given above, the predetermined order corresponds to an order A-B-C-D, ie "decor" - "actor" - "action" - "result". Within the same category, the order is that of the subcategories, for example B1 -B2-B3-B4 ...

The sixth step 260 corresponds to the transcription of the various elementary segments into lexeme images transcribing the meaning of said elementary segments. It therefore results from the method a physical object transcribing the physical data initially introduced.

Note that the order of steps 250 and 260 can be reversed; the transcription of the elementary segments in lexemes images then being performed before the reorganization of the order of said lexemes images, according to the same principle as that applied to the elementary segments.

We note that the transcription is carried out in lexemes images transcribing the units of meaning of the elementary segments so visual only. The lexemes images used have no proper pronunciation, and are intended to be read in a visual way only.

Such a visual reading of the lexemes images has a significant advantage in terms of speed of reading. Indeed, in Western languages based on the Latin alphabet, the words are visualized by the hemisphere must of the brain, but the interpretation passes through the left hemisphere, which will give the pronunciation. Reading is therefore considerably slowed down, being limited by the speed of pronunciation of words. Staying at the visual level allows to increase the speed of reading, as is the case for example for Chinese when the person knows his characters perfectly.

The transcription of the communication may include additional steps of compression of ideas and truncation of lexemes images.

The use of lexemes images makes possible the compression of ideas, which consists of merging several sense units of at least one elementary segment into a single lexeme image visually and comprehensively transcending the meanings of each of said sense units.

It is also possible to truncate said lexemes images; it is indeed not necessary to have a complete lexeme image so that its meaning is understood by the brain and therefore by the user. Thus, a partial representation of the characteristic elements of a house will be understood as transcribing a house by the user, without requiring a detailed representation.

Several examples of implementation of the process described in FIG. 2 by the device of FIG. 1 are detailed below. The same communication to be transcribed is repeated in several different languages. The communication to transcribe being for this example a sentence; it merges with the communication segments. However, in the event the communication to be transcribed is longer, we distinguish the communication to be transcribed in itself, and the communication segments, for example the sentences that constitute this communication. The optional step 220 presented above is not carried out here. The examples presented below use the classification presented previously as an example. The communication to be transcribed is, in French: "I will go to Paris tomorrow. The device performs the step 230 of identification of the elementary segments. The device identifies the elementary segments "J", "irai", "tomorrow" and "in Paris"

The device then classifies the elementary segments according to their unity of meaning.

The device classifies the elementary segment "J" as having the sense of me, actor, and assigns the code B4. The device classifies the elementary segment "irai", which is a bending of the verb "to go", as having the sense of going of future and of me, of action, and assigns to it the code C2. The notion of future being taken up and specified by the following elementary segment, and that of me is specified by the preceding elementary segment; the device will retain the meaning of "go". The device classifies the elementary segment "tomorrow" as having the meaning of future, of decoration, and assigns to it the code A1.

The device classifies the elementary segment "in Paris" as having the meaning of place, of result, and assigns the code D4 to it. The device retains only the units of meaning, the communication becomes: "I go tomorrow Paris", ie B4, C2, A1 and D4. This is of course a graphic simplification, because in fact communication is: - lexeme (unity of meaning) corresponding to the idea of me (I, I, me, me ...) - to the idea to go (go, go, go, go, go ...) - to the idea of tomorrow - to the idea of Paris. The device then performs the organization in the order of scenery, actor, action and result; the communication becomes "Tomorrow me go Paris", ie A1, B4, C2 and D4. The corresponding transcription in universal and natural writing is shown in FIG.

Let's take the same example in English. The communication to be transcribed is "Tomorrow, I will go to Paris".

The device identifies the elementary segments "Tomorrow", "I",

"Will", "go" and "to Paris".

The device classifies the elementary segment "Tomorrow" as having the meaning of future, and assigns the code A1 to it. The device classifies the elementary segment "I" as having the meaning of me, "me", and assigns the code B4 to it.

The device classifies the elementary segment "will" as having the meaning of future, which is already specified by the elementary segment "tomorrow". This elementary segment will not be retained, its unity of meaning being already detailed.

The device classifies the elementary segment "go" as having the direction of action, to go "go", and assigns the code C2 thereto.

The device classifies the elementary segment "to Paris" as having the meaning of result, and assigns the code D4 to it. The device retains only the units of meaning, the communication becomes: "Tomorrow me go Paris". The classification in the order of decor, actor, action and result, ie A1, B4, C2 and D4 is already done.

The device finally transcribed in universal and natural writing, to obtain the same result as previously, presented in FIG.

Let's take the same example in German.

The communication to be transcribed is "Morgen fahre ich nach Paris".

The device identifies the elementary segments "Morgen", "fahre",

"Ich" and "nach Paris". The device classifies the elementary segment "Morgen" as having the meaning of future, and assigns the code A1 to it. The device classifies the elementary segment "fahre" as having the meaning of going, and assigns the code C2 thereto.

The device classifies the elementary segment "ich" as having sense of me, and assigns the code B4 to it. The device classifies the elementary segment "nach Paris" as having the meaning of result, and assigns the code D4 to it.

The device retains only the units of meaning, the communication becomes: "Morgen fahren ich Paris", ie A1, C2, B4 then D4. The device then performs the organization in the order of scenery, actor, action and result; the communication becomes "Morgen ich fahren Paris", ie A1, B4, C2 and D4.

The device finally transcribed in universal and natural writing, to obtain the same result as previously, presented in FIG.

Let's take the same example in Mandarin.

The communication to be transcribed is "I ^^ iBl".

The device identifies the elementary segments "ϋζ", "BE ^", "£" and

"BH".

The device classifies the elementary segment "ϋζ" as having the sense of me, and assigns the code B4 to it.

The device classifies the elementary segment "BE ^" as having the meaning of future, and assigns the code A1 to it.

The device classifies the elementary segment "£" as having the direction of going, and assigns the code C2 thereto. The device classifies the elementary segment "BH" as having the sense of result, and assigns the code D4 to it.

The communication is therefore in the order B4, A1, C2 and then D4. The device retains only the sense units and rearranges the segments elementary in order A1, B4, C2 and then D4. The communication becomes:

The device finally transcribed in universal and natural writing, to obtain the same result as previously, presented in FIG.

Let's take the same example in Japanese.

The communication to be transcribed is " ^$ 8 B ^ A & Λ U £ fτβ ^ ^" 3 ^" ".

The device identifies the elementary segments "0 / j B", "%", "Λ ^° U"

and "fτ <".

The device classifies the elementary segment "0 / j B" as having the sense of decoration, of future, and assigns to it the code A1.

The device classifies the elementary segment "%" as having the sense of actor, of me, and assigns the code B4 to it.

The device classifies the elementary segment "Λ ^° U" as having the result meaning, and assigns the code D4 to it.

The device classifies the elementary segment "fτ <" as having the direction of action, to go, and assigns the code C2 thereto.

The communication is in the order A1, B4, D4 then C2. The device retains only the sense units and rearranges the elementary segments in order A1, B4, C2 and then D4. The communication becomes:

"Œ B & fi ^ Λ ^' U".

The device finally transcribed in universal and natural writing, to obtain the same result as previously, presented in FIG.

It can be seen that, whatever the language of departure, the resulting transcription in natural and universal writing is the same. We also note that the transcription from the text in Mandarin is easy, because of the insulating nature of this language. One can observe clearly in Japanese the almost total disappearance of inflections generally noted in Japanese writing hiragana.

Figure 3 shows the transcription of the previous examples in natural universal script.

Text 400 is classified and displayed in multiple languages. The transcription 300 in natural universal writing of the different units of meaning is displayed below the corresponding elementary segments. Thus, the lexeme 310 has the sense of decoration, of the future, and transcribes the elementary segment "tomorrow". The lexeme 320 has the meaning of "me". The lexeme 330 has the meaning of "to go" Finally, the lexeme 340 has the sense of a destination, namely "Paris"

Figure 4 shows the transcription of another example.

This example presents the interest of illustrating the classification of elementary segments classified in the same category. The example presented below uses the classification presented previously as an example.

The different steps of the process are repeated; the first step 510 corresponding to the acquisition of the communication to transcribe: "I will go to Paris tomorrow by car". The second step 520 corresponds to the identification of the elementary segments within said communication to be transcribed; the elementary segments identified here are "J", "irai", "tomorrow", "in Paris" and

" by car ".

Steps 530 and 540 correspond to the classification of said elementary segments according to their unity of meaning, and to the assignment of a code to said elementary segments according to their unity of meaning. The elementary segment "J" corresponds to the unity of meaning of "me", classified in the category "actor" and the subcategory "thing / be", and is assigned the code B4.

The elementary segment "irai" corresponds to the sense units of "go", "me" and "future", and is classified in the "action" category, subcategory "action / state", and is assigned the code C2. The unity of meaning of "go" is retained in relation to the unity of meaning of "future" and to the unity of meaning of "me", because these sense units are taken up and specified by the other elementary segments. The elementary segment "tomorrow" corresponds to the unity of meaning of

"Future", and is classified in the "decor" category, subcategory

"Time", and is assigned the code A1.

The elementary segment "in Paris" indicates a destination, and is classified in the category "result", subcategory "to be / thing", and is assigned code D4.

The basic segment "by car" specifies the action, and is classified in the "action" category, subcategory "way", and is assigned the C1 code.

The order is B4-C2-A1 -D4-C1. Step 550 corresponds to the organization of the elementary segments according to the codes assigned to them; the order becomes: A1 -B4-C1 -C2-

D4, either "Tomorrow-me-car-go-Paris", or more precisely "unity of meaning of Tomorrow - unity of meaning of me - unity of meaning of car - unity of meaning to go - sense unit of Paris" The transcription in lexemes images is then presented at step 560.

The order of steps 550 and 560, however, can be reversed without affecting the transcription.

There may be mentioned, without limitation, several examples of use of such a device and such a method. As mentioned earlier, international institutions appear to be the preferred places of use for such a device. Indeed, ensuring the instantaneous translation of a speech, a presentation or a report in an understandable writing of all the speakers of different origins and cultures, and which allows a fast reading, presents undeniable advantages compared to the heaviness and the expense that the translations currently generate.

Another example of use that can be cited concerns interactions between teams speaking different languages, within the same company or between trading partners. The widespread practice of offshoring leads to communication problems between design centers and production centers, which are often located in different countries. It is therefore often complex to transmit instructions, comments, or more generally, various communications between these centers located in countries with different languages. A writing allowing comprehensible communications of all would be an interesting evolution.

Another example of use of such a device are tourist sites, such as museums or monuments. These places are indeed intended to be visited by people of different nationalities, and, although the various guides and explanatory notes of these places are generally translated into several languages, the multiple nationalities regularly lead to a misunderstanding of the languages proposed.

Other uses can be developed, including various means of communication, such as mobile phones, personal organizers (PDAs), or more generally the tools of communication. modern communication, whose communications in visual form can be transcribed in natural universal script.

The application to subtitles for television is also possible, and would provide subtitles comprehensible to all viewers, in their native language, whatever that language.

Among the examples of previous applications, mention may be made of the specific application for the hearing impaired or the dyslexic.

The increasing use of screens on devices such as mobile phones makes possible the use of universal and natural writing on these devices. Thus, a mobile telephone intended for the use of the hearing impaired would include means for the transcription of sound communications in the lexemes images, said lexèmes images being displayed on display means of said apparatus.

The use can also be extended to dumb people. The user can then enter lexemes images directly on his device, said lexemes images being transcribed in a selected language, then sound emitting means such as speakers emit said sounds.

A deaf-mute user can then communicate with a user who does not have such a disability; the deaf-mute user will communicate using ideograms or lexemes images that he will enter on his device, said ideograms or lexemes images then being transmitted in sound form to the other user. This other user can answer orally, his oral communication will be transcribed by the device in lexemes images, for the deaf-mute user. Anyone can call them and talk to them (without the need to know the sign language), and if the device is equipped with a loudspeaker, they can even answer them through the device by synthetic phonetic reading The application can also give rise to applications specific to dyslexic people. These people have a functioning focused on the right hemisphere of the brain, which explains the difficulties of reading conventional detailed writing using the left hemisphere, and makes the use of lexeme images particularly suitable for these people . They have difficulties to read a text written in phonetics, but can read it in visual writing (they use their right visual processor) and thus understand it and learn by comparing the two texts,

It may also be mentioned as users of such a device and method:

- the elderly (and sometimes even the young) who sometimes lose the central vision of the retina and therefore the vision of letters, but keep the peripheral vision (images), and can continue to read transcribed texts in visual writing;

- people whose an accident such as a stroke would have resulted in the loss of the use of speech can always read texts transcribed in visual writing, and communicate using a means of capture such as a stylus;

- children, in order to help them learn their written language (by comparison), to stimulate their potential for visual association of ideas (and therefore creativity), the apparatus also allowing a self-learning from reading this visual writing from voice recognition for example.

Figure 5 shows an example of apparatus.

The example of the device presented is a mobile phone, which can advantageously be used by people suffering from dyslexia, the deaf-mute, the elderly, injured persons and children, but also by a user without any disability . This apparatus 600 takes up the elements of the device shown in FIG. 1, namely a first display means 610 for an initial text, a second display means 620 for the natural universal transcription transcription, written input means 630, 640, and a speaker 650. The device 600 shown is a mobile phone, comprising conventional controls 660, and display means 662 for these commands. It also includes scroll commands 670, allowing the user to control the scrolling speed of the communication on the display means 610 and 620. Two scroll commands 670 are shown, each controlling the scrolling of one of the means. 610 and 620 display.

The written input means 630 are here presented in the form of a touchpad associated with a stylus 632. According to one mode of use, the first display means 610 displays the communication 612 to be transcribed. Once the transcription has been carried out, the second display means 620 displays the said transcript 622. As detailed previously in the description, the communication to be transcribed 612 can be entered verbally by the user, and is then transcribed in conventional writing, and in lexemes images. It can also come from messages containing written information received by said mobile phone, or any other source of information. According to another mode of use, the user can enter a written communication via the written input means 630, whether in conventional writing or in lexemes images. Said communication is then transcribed in conventional writing and / or in the lexemes images, and can then be broadcast vocally via the speaker 650. This mode of use allows deaf-mute users to communicate more easily. A first deaf-mute user can, using this device, easily communicate with a second user who does not have this handicap. The second user normally communicates while speaking, the communication is captured by the oral input means 640, then sent to the device of the first deaf-mute user, whose device 600 will transcribe the communication in text, then in the lexemes images. The first deaf-mute user then responds using the written input means 630, using conventional writing or image lexemes.
