DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of a portable communication system capable of performing word learning practice according to the present invention. The system software 1 of the word database 10 having a special design according to the present invention is stored in the central computer main body 2, and the central computer main body 2 and the WAP circuit 4 of the general public wireless communication system 3 are connected to dedicated circuits, Multiple WAP (or GPRS) mobile phones 6 or PDs depending on the wireless transmission / reception function of the wireless communication system 3
Communicate with A7 users. WAP (or GPRS) mobile phone 6 and P that the user has
A command is issued by the DA 7, information of a required word is received from the central computer main body 2, and practice is performed. The WAP (or GPRS) mobile phone 6 or PDA 7 is a mobile communication device, and the present invention is not limited to the WAP (or GPRS) mobile phone 6 or PDA 7, but communicates with the public wireless communication system 3 in a wireless manner to transfer information. Any applicable mobile communication device can be applied.

The central computer body 2 and the system software 1 of the present invention can communicate with a general desktop or portable computer 8 via a telephone line 9 via the http circuit 14 of the public wireless communication system 3.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an operation by a user of a portable communication system capable of performing word learning practice according to the present invention. First, the user selects to enter a word or take a word test by using a WAP (or GPRS) mobile phone 6 or PDA 7 that the user has (step 20). Is input (step 21). then,
The central computer main body 2 is called up and requested to provide the required word information (step 211), and the central computer main body 2 first sets the user database 11 with the user identification code (ID) and password (step 212). Then, the word requested by the user is transmitted to the mobile phone used by the user by a wireless transmission method to provide an interpretation (step 213). Also, it stores the words requested by the user, forms the user word database 12, and provides the user with his / her own test (step 214).

When the user chooses to take the word test, the system software 1 of the central computer body 2
Form a plurality of sets of different level problem databases 13 based on the word database 10. The user can appropriately select the question database 13 and take a test (step 22). In addition, a user-specific problem database 13 is formed and used for a repeated test at a later date. The central computer 2 is the user ID
Then, the user database 11 is created using the password (step 221). In addition, the problem database 13 selected by the user is transmitted to the user's mobile phone by the wireless transmission / reception method, and is used for the user's own test (step 222).

Next, how the present invention tests the level of the user will be described. Regardless of the word database 12 set by the user or the question database 13 set by the central computer body 2, all can be used for the user's language level test.

First, the WAP (or GPRS) mobile phone 6 or PDA 7 possessed by the user communicates with the central computer body 2 via wireless transmission / reception of the public wireless communication system 3 and has a related word database 12 or problem database. 13 and download, for example, the following dialogue appears on the screen of the mobile phone: Do you remember this word? ANGEL “1” yes “2” a little “3” no The following dialog appears on the screen after the user answers: Do you want to re-appear? Ambassador "1" Yes "2" No Then successive words appear on the screen of the mobile phone to test the user. After the test is completed, the following message appears on the mobile phone screen: Send results? "1" transmission "2" Test again If the user chooses to test again, return to question 1 and test again. If the user chooses to send, it communicates wirelessly with the user's mobile phone and the central computer body 2,
The test results are sent back to the central computer body 2, and the system software 1 analyzes the results and generates a new user word database 12 or question database 13 for use in the next test.

FIG. 3 shows an attribute structure of the user word database 12 or the question database 13 of the portable communication system capable of performing the word learning practice of the present invention. Each stored word in the word database 12 or the question database 13 has a plurality of columns. An original word of the word, for example, “angel” is stored in the first column. In the second column, the corresponding foreign language word you want to study, for example, "ANGE
L ”is stored. Also, in the third column, the number of non-repeating times P set during use of the user (the user can set the number of times P by himself, and if the number of times becomes larger than the set number, the word is already stored in the user and the next time Will not appear again during the test). The number of times the word has been transmitted is stored in the fourth column. The significance of the word in the test is stored in the fifth column, and the higher the numerical value is, the more important it is (calculated from the user's test result).

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a case where a problem is first presented in the system software 1 of the portable communication system capable of executing the word learning practice of the present invention. When a question is presented by a user's call (step 40), the system software 1 arbitrarily selects a word from the word database 10 based on the amount of problem submission set by the user to generate the user's first test question database 13. (Step 41). Then, the user database 11 is formed based on the user ID and the password, and the first test question database 13 is stored (step 4).
2). Each word in the first test question database 13 has an attribute structure, and the third, fourth, and fifth columns are set to zero. Then the first test question database 1
3 is transmitted to the user's mobile phone by wireless transmission / reception (step 43). The user performs the test himself (step 44). At the same time, 1 is added to the fourth column of the transmitted word (step 45). At the end of the test, the user calls on the central computer system 2,
The test result is transmitted to the system software 1 for processing (step 46).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a case where the system 1 of the portable communication system capable of performing the word learning practice of the present invention updates a question. After the system software 1 receives the test result returned by the user (step 50),
First, a new numerical value in the fifth column of each word is calculated (step 51). The higher the number, the more important it is, and will give priority to this issue next time. Then, check the value of the third column of the attribute structure of each word (step 52),
If the value in the third column is greater than the P value set by the user, the word is already familiar to the user, the word is removed and will not be issued again in the next test. Then, the numerical value in the fifth column of each word is checked (step 53), and the larger numerical value becomes more important (calculated from the user's test result) and is selected with priority. Then, any other words are selected from the word database 10 (step 54), and 1 is added to the fourth column of these selected words (step 55).
Therefore, a new test question database 13 is created,
These test question databases are transmitted when the user calls again (step 56).

[0015]

According to the present invention, since there are no special restrictions on the words of the original language and the foreign language, it can be used for learning any language in any country.
