Disclosed is a method for providing geographic information and analysis information for each user using a universal map, which includes: a map information receiving step of requesting authentication to a universal map server storing map information including one of a map image and guide information by transmitting user authentication information except socially disadvantaged type information, to receive map information from the universal map server; a guide information extraction step of extracting guide information, as guide information for providing the geographic information on the map image to the user terminal from the received map information, corresponding to the socially disadvantaged type information of the user among the user account information from a data model database; and a geographic information providing step of providing geographic information customized according to the user, by outputting geographic information reflecting attribute information of spatial objects to the user terminal based on the extracted guide information.

An eyewear having an electronic processor configured to identify a hand gesture including a sign language, and to generate speech that is indicative of the identified hand gesture. The electronic processor uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify the hand gesture by matching the hand gesture in the image to a set of hand gestures, wherein the set of hand gestures is a library of hand gestures stored in a memory. The hand gesture can include a static hand gesture, and a moving hand gesture. The electronic processor is configured to identify a word from a series of hand gestures.

Provided is a multi-functional translation software for the deaf community and/or hard of hearing people. The platform is comprised of a software application installable on a smartphone or other electronic device. Users can input text in one language, allowing it to be translated via an internal translation service into a second language. The software application will automatically connect with a business once within range of the business allowing the customer and the business to communicate via text chat on the software application.

At least one of the first or second hearing prostheses of a binaural hearing prosthesis system includes a dual-mode sound processing unit that is configured to selectively operate in a “sound processing mode” or in a “wireless streaming mode.” When operating in the sound processing mode, the dual-mode sound processing unit is configured to convert received sound signals into output signals for use in stimulating a first ear of a recipient. However, while operating in the wireless streaming mode, the dual-mode sound processing unit is configured to capture input signals (e.g., sound signals, data signals, etc.) and to encode those input signals for direct or indirect wireless transmission to the sound processing unit of the other hearing prosthesis of the binaural hearing system.

Intelligent robotic hand assembly systems.

A computing device, method, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for articulation training for hearing impaired persons is disclosed. The computing device comprises a database including stored mel-frequency cepstral representations of audio recordings associated with text and/or images related to the audio recordings, a microphone configured to receive audible inputs and a display. The computing device is operatively connected to the database, the microphone and the display. The computing device includes circuitry and program instructions stored therein which when executed by one or more processors, cause the system to receive an audible input from the microphone, convert the audible input to a mel-frequency cepstral representation, search the database for a match of the mel-frequency cepstral representation to a stored mel-frequency cepstral representation and display the text and/or images related to the stored mel-frequency cepstral representation when the match is found.

A card accessory device including, among other things, one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the card accessory device to receive, from a terminal in communication with the card, one or more messages comprising a complete message indicative of successfully reading the card and a read error message indicative that there was an error in reading the card, identify one or more predetermined sequences based on the one or more messages, and perform via a rumble pack, one or more predetermined vibration sequences comprising a first vibration sequence associated with the complete message and a second vibration sequence associated with the read error message in a predetermined pattern.

Methods and systems for hearing-impaired payment applications are provided herein. In particular, a method for performing a transaction using a hearing device payment system is provided that includes a hearing device and a cardholder computing device. The method includes pairing the hearing device to the cardholder computing device by means of a wireless communication protocol. A payment application on the cardholder computing device is started to perform a transaction. A cardholder initiates an audible instruction function of the payment application. In addition, the payment application transmits a digital audio signal to the hearing device by means of the wireless communication protocol. The digital audio signal provides an audible instruction to the cardholder via the hearing device.

Provided herein are a data processing method and apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium for sign language translation. Sign language is translated to text by: obtaining sign language action data; determining a sign language tagging sequence corresponding to the sign language action data by element analysis, and performing operation processing on the sign language action data based on the sign language tagging sequence. Text is translated to sign language by: performing word segmentation processing on a text sequence to obtain a natural word sequence; determining a basic sign language element and an element type corresponding to each natural word in the natural word sequence; sorting the basic sign language element and the element type to generate a sign language element sequence; determining a sign language tagging sequence; and performing sign language translation processing on the text sequence based on the sign language tagging sequence.

A method for generating three dimensional indicators for the visually impaired. The method includes selecting one or more pre-designed symbols from a plurality of pre-designed symbols. The pre-designed symbols represent standard building layout features and are sized to be readable via a physical touch. The method further includes inserting the one or more selected symbols into a two dimensional digital layout, and generating one or more of an orientation object and a legend object into the two dimensional digital layout. The method further includes converting the two dimensional digital layout into a three dimensional digital model, and generating an output file including the three dimensional model in a format compatible with a three dimensional printing device.
