VISUAL-KINESTHETIC LANGUAGE CONSTRUCTION

摘要

Features herein enable users to construct and express language by visual, kinesthetic or other means without necessarily requiring vocalization, reading or transcription. The system may aide in language acquisition and cross-language communication for augmentative and alternative communication. The system may pre-process language into unambiguous units of meaning and wherein elements that vary based on usage and context are abstracted. Each unit of meaning is converted into a graphical element. Once the language is simplified and rendered visually, a user uses software to interactively construct a word, phrase or sentence by manipulating the graphical elements in a user-defined sequence. After receiving visual, kinesthetic or other input from the user, the application executes validity checks on the input and may present corrective feedback. Next, it converts the input into audio, visualization and/or other output, and may execute other actions based on the combination of user input and business rules.
