Certain embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to communications, visual communications, digital communication, telecommunications, instant messaging, messaging, computer and scientific, and Information Technology.
There is a trend of visual communications, conveying information visually in communications, using visual element(s), picture(s), geometric object(s), painting(s), drawing(s), video(s), movie(s), clip(s), art(s), animation(s), and or a combination of. After receiving these visual communication unit(s) on the receiving end, and/or while in possession of one or more, the conveyed information may need to be interpreted, extracted and translated into written and/or spoken and/or machine language.
In addition, digital and Instant Messaging (IM), texting, and emails follow the same pattern. Many times, it is preferred to translate the visual communication used through these into audio messages depending on the situation and the preference of the user.
Our increasing mobile phone usage adds up to this need. The mobile phone use also has introduced a new hazard, while operating attention needing devices, such as texting while driving. Having another tool of communications during these situations is imperative.
Time has become a commodity in our daily lives. The speed and timing of the communication is increasingly of importance. In many situations, this can be cut short, since just one quick status update suffices, if we had the right communication tool, which could take care of this communication automatically and/or autonomously generating, creating and interpreting the to be conveyed information into written and/or spoken and/or machine language.
Both speed and ease of communication are of paramount importance in emergency situations, where there is no time for certain methods of communications.
Furthermore, people with special needs, developmentally disabled or people with acquired disabilities and regenerative and/or brain damaging diseases generally convey their information better and easier through visual communications and for some, this is the only viable way of communications. On the receiving side, there may be a need to interpret, extract and translate these visual clues into written and/or spoken and/or machine language.
Rapid advances in science and technology pave the way and put tremendous demands on convenience, speed, autonomy and automatic communications. The use of algorithms, scientific theories, concepts, methods and modalities, software and/or hardware and/or machine, or a combination of, to automatically and/or autonomously interpret, extract and translate the visual communication unit(s) into written and/or spoken and/or machine language is imperative. This will contribute to the diversity of choice, speed and ease of communication. It may further result to enhanced transfer of information.
Automatic and/or Autonomous machine-driven communication need to be flexible and capable of interpreting and translating visual communications and extracting the conveyed information for use in machines, Application-to-Application(A2A), Application-to-People (A2P), People-to-Application (P2A), and/or device to device communications.
Continuing the visual communication trend, blind people will be able to communicate visually as well. Once they receive their visual communication unit(s), it can be interpreted for them automatically and/or autonomously into written and/or spoken and/or machine language.
