1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a language learning system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a multi-user participant language learning system 1 includes a learning content providing unit 100 and a user input unit 200. The learning content providing unit 100 can provide the user 10 with learning content having the first language via the network 20. [ The user 10 can receive the learning content having the first language and perform language learning on the learning content. The user input unit 200 inputs the input language information in a first language or a second language different from the first language input by the learning user 10 provided with the learning content having the first language to the network 20 .

Here, the learning content means a sound or image content having information in a language, for example, a music (song) with lyrics, or a video having a dialogue. The first language means a main language constituting information in a language included in the learning contents. And the second language means a language different from the first language in which the first language is translated.

When the user 10 receives the learning content in the first language and then hears, hears, dictates, or reads the learning content, the user 10 inputs the input language information in the first language, that is, Or a voice which is a result of reading along with the text can be input to the user input unit 200. [ When the user 10 receives the learning content in the first language and then hears or hears it, and performs translation or interpretation, the user inputs the input language information in the second language, that is, the text or the interpretation result of the translation A resultant voice can be input to the user input unit 200. [ Thus, the input language information may be text or speech, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the second language is a sign language, the input language information may be an image including a state in which the user 10 expresses sign language.

Here, it is exemplified that the learning content has one language. However, the learning content may have two or more languages. In this case, the first language may mean all of two or more languages possessed by the learning content, The second language may be two or more different languages for each of two or more languages the learning content has. If the learning content has two or more languages but the user 10 performs learning only for one of the languages, one language of the learning content to be learned is the first language, The remaining languages other than the first language may be a second language, or may be a third language which is different from the first language and the second language.

That is, the first language means a language to be taught to the user 10 among the languages possessed by the learning contents provided by the learning content providing unit 100, the second language means that the user translates the first language Means a language input to the user input unit 200, and is not limited to one language.

For example, when the learning contents are composed of English and Korean, and the user 10 translates only English possessed by the learning contents into Korean, English may be the first language and Korean may be the second language. For example, when the learning content is composed of English and Japanese, and the user 10 translates both English and Japanese of the learning content into Korean, English and Japanese are the first language, and Korean is the second language . For example, when the learning contents are composed of English and Japanese, and the user 10 translates only English possessed by the learning contents into Korean, English may be the first language, Korean may be the second language, May be independent of both the first language and the second language.

The language learning system 1 shown in Fig. 1 and the explanations in Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate the case where the user 10 inputs the input language information in the second language, that is, the input language It is assumed that information is inputted. The language learning system 1a shown in FIG. 4 and the description in FIG. 5 are examples in which the user 10 inputs input language information in the first language, that is, input language information that has been dictated or read in the first language . However, the language learning system 1a shown in FIG. 4 is configured such that the user 10 can input all the input language information in the first language or the second language.

The network 20 may be a wired Internet service, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), an intranet, a wireless Internet service, a mobile computing service, a wireless data communication service, a wireless Internet access service, And can transmit / receive data through wire / wireless.

The user 10 can receive learning contents from the language learning system 1 via the network 20. [ The learning content may be video or music having a voice in the first language. The user 10 can input or input the input language information, which is user translation information, which is text or voice in the second language, into the user translation input unit 220 by translating or interpreting the voice in the first language of the provided learning contents . The user translation information may be stored in the user translation storage unit 500 and then verified by the administrator 30 in the user translation management unit 600.

The learning content providing unit 100, together with the learning content, texts in a second language, which is a machine translation result of a voice in a first language of the machine-translated learning content in the machine translation unit 400, ). The user 10 who is provided with the machine translation result for the learning contents can input the evaluation information about the machine translation result for the learning contents through the user evaluation input unit 240. [

The learning content providing unit 100 can provide the user 10 with user translation information in a second language inputted by another user together with the learning content. When the user translation information is voice, the user translation information of the voice is provided to the user 10 as it is, or the user translation information of the voice translated by the machine translation unit 400 is converted into text through the voice recognition module, 10). If the user translation information is text, the user translation information in the form of text can be provided to the user 10 as it is.

The learning content providing unit 100 may provide the caption content to the user 10 together with the learning content if the learning content includes the caption content in the first language or the second language. The subtitle contents in the first language are native language subtitles and the subtitle contents in the second language can be translation subtitles.

That is, the user 10 may receive some or all of the subtitle contents, the machine translation contents, or the user translation information according to the selection of the user 10 or the design of the language learning system 1. In addition, subtitle content, machine-translated content, and user translation information may not be provided depending on the selection of the user 10 or the design of the language learning system 1.

The user 10 may input evaluation information on the machine translation content or the user translation information through the user evaluation input unit 240. In the case of the subtitle contents, since it is created by the original script or the professional translator, it does not require the evaluation information by the user 10, and can be used only as a reference material for helping the learning of the user 10. However, if the quality of the subtitle contents itself needs to be evaluated, the language learning system 1 can be designed such that the evaluation information of the user 10 for the subtitle contents is input. In this case, It can be handled almost the same as the evaluation information.

The evaluation information may be a natural language containing various information (evaluation, error intellectuals, opinion presentation, etc.), or may be merely data containing machine translation content or a score for user translation information or whether or not it is "good".

The evaluation information on the machine translation content or the user translation information may be stored in the user information user translation storage unit 800 and then provided to the user 10 through the learning content provider 100. The evaluation information is not provided independently and can be provided to the user 10 together with the machine translation content or the user translation information to be evaluated.
