Abstract

A method and device are provided for translating object information and acquiring derivative information, including obtaining, based on the acquired source-object information, target-object information corresponding to the source object by translation, and outputting the target-object information. A language environment corresponding to the source object is different from a language environment corresponding to the target object. By applying the present disclosure, the range of machine translation subjects can be expanded, and the applicability of translation can be enhanced, a user's requirements on translation of objects can be met.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method by a device comprising:
acquiring source multimedia information of a source product, the source multimedia information including information associated with at least one of an image feature, a logo feature and a text feature associated with the source product;
identifying the source product based on the source multimedia information;
obtaining target information of a target product corresponding to the source product based on location information of the device, the target product being obtainable in a locale corresponding to the location information; and
displaying, on a display, the target information based on personal information associated with requirements of the user, the target information including information associated with at least one of an image feature, a logo feature, a text feature, and a specification associated with the target product;
wherein the displayed target information includes a part of the information being highlighted based on the requirements.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the source object comprises:
extracting, based on the source multimedia information, at least one of the image feature, the logo feature and the text feature associated with the source product; and
identifying the source product according to the at least one of the extracted image feature, logo feature and text feature associated with the source product.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the target information comprises:
determining language environments respectively corresponding to the source product and the target product; and
obtaining, based on the language environments respectively corresponding to the source product and the target product, the target information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the source multimedia information further comprises at least one of:
multimedia information corresponding to the source product;
text information recognized from the multimedia information corresponding to the source product;
location information corresponding to the source product;
searched related information of the source product; and
related information of the source product input by a user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the target product comprises:
collecting multimedia information in real time by a multimedia collection apparatus; and
positioning, from the multimedia information collected in real time, the target product corresponding to the source product.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the target information of the target product comprises:
searching attribute information corresponding to a preset attribute of the target product; and
determining the searched attribute information as the information associated with the specification.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the target product comprises:
determining the target information based on the location information of the device and location information of the target product.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the target product comprises:
displaying at least one piece of information of at least one candidate target product;
receiving an input signal for selecting at least one target product among the at least one candidate target product;
determining the selected target product as the target product corresponding to the source product; and
transmitting, to a server, information associated with the selected target product and the source multimedia information,
wherein the at least one piece of information of the at least one candidate target product is displayed based on a priority order of the at least one candidate target product.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the source product comprises:
displaying at least one piece of information of at least one candidate source product;
receiving an input signal for selecting at least one piece of information among the at least one piece of information of the at least one candidate source product; and
identifying the source product based on the selected at least one piece of information.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the personal information includes information associated with a language of the user, and
wherein the personal information associated with the requirements includes at least one of a schedule, interests, hobbies, environment, motion state, and health state of the user.

11. A device comprising:
at least on processor configured to:
acquire source multimedia information of a source product, the source multimedia information including information associated with at least one of an image feature, a logo feature and a text feature associated with the source product,
identify the source product based on the source multimedia information,
obtain target information of a target product corresponding to the source product based on location information of the device, the target product being obtainable in a locale corresponding to the location information, and
a display configured to display the target information based on personal information associated with requirements of the user, the target information including information associated with at least one of an image feature, a logo feature, a text feature, and a specification associated with the target product,
wherein the displayed target information includes a part of the information being highlighted based on the requirements of the user.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
extract at least one of the image feature, the logo feature, and the text feature associated with the source product, based on the source multimedia information, and
identify the source object according to the at least one of the extracted image feature, the logo feature, and the text feature.

13. The device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
determine language environments respectively corresponding to the source product and the target product, and
obtain the target information, based on the language environments respectively corresponding to the source product and the target product.

14. The device of claim 11 , wherein the source multimedia information further comprises at least one of:
multimedia information corresponding to the source product;
text information recognized from the multimedia information corresponding to the source product;
location information corresponding to the source product;
searched related information of the source product; and
related information of the source product input by a user.

15. The device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
collect multimedia information in real time by a multimedia collection apparatus, and
position, from the multimedia information collected in real time, the target product corresponding to the source product.

16. The device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
search attribute information corresponding to a preset attribute of the target product, and
determine the searched attribute information corresponding to the preset attribute of the target product as the information associated with the specification.

17. The device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
determine the target information, based on the location information of the device and location information of the target product.

18. The device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is configure
