For example, it is assumed that the screen is repeatedly performed in a difficult environment such as while commuting to work or school.

Next, a learning support function based on the quick study playlist stored in the quick study playlist storage unit 12c will be described.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a quick study process of the learning support device 10.

This quick study process is immediately started by touching the [quick study] icon Q, which is always displayed at the right end of the screen Gn displayed on the display unit 17, regardless of the state immediately before that.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a list automatic generation process in the quick study process of the learning support device 10.

10 and 11 are diagrams showing an example (No. 1) (No. 2) of a display operation corresponding to a user operation according to the quick study process of the learning support device 10.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, in the English text screen GC displayed on the display unit 17 according to the application of the learning content [English test], [quick study].
When the icon Q is touch-operated, the CPU 11 activates the quick study function shown in FIG. 8, and the quick study function can acquire the name of the content for which the previous quick study process was executed from the quick study playlist storage unit 12c. Whether or not it is determined (step S1).

Here, if it is determined that the content name for which the quick study process was executed last time is stored in the quick study playlist storage unit 12c (step S1: Yes), the CPU 11 uses the quick study function to determine FIG. 10 (B). ), A playlist listing the audio display names (item names) of the quick study playlist of the content [listening English conversation (1)] corresponding to the content name for which the quick study process was executed last time is displayed on the quick study screen. It is displayed on the display unit 17 as a GQ (step S2).

In the quick study screen GQ, the progress 3 flag (f3) and the progress 2 flag (f2) of the corresponding items are read from the quick study playlist storage unit 12c in association with the left end of each item of the playlist, and the progress is made. If the 3 flag (f3) is on, a blue check mark (f3) is displayed, and if the progress 2 flag (f2) is on, a red check mark (f2) is displayed.

As a result, the quick study function is activated, and whether or not each item has been played by the quick study function and whether or not each item has been learned by the application program of each learning content is started, and whether or not each item has been learned by the application program is visually observed at the same time. It can be recognized as a target. Therefore, for example, if it has not been played back by the quick study function (blue check mark (f3) is displayed off) and has been learned by the application program (blue check mark (f2) is displayed off), the message screen is purposely displayed. It is possible to remind the user to play the corresponding item for review with the quick study function without issuing.

Further, the CPU 11 uses the quick study function to display only the check mark (f2) corresponding to the progress 2 flag (f2) in addition to the check mark (f3) corresponding to the progress 3 flag (f3) on the quick study screen GQ. Instead, a green check mark (f1) corresponding to the progress 1 flag (f1) may be displayed. In this case, even if it has been played by the quick study function (blue check mark (f3) is displayed on) and has been viewed by the application program (green check mark (f1) is displayed on), it has not been learned by the application program (display is on). If the blue check mark (f2) is off), it is possible to urge the user to learn the corresponding item according to the application program without having to bother to display the message screen.

Similarly, the CPU 11 may display only the check mark (f3) corresponding to the progress 3 flag (f3) on the quick study screen GQ by the quick study function, or the progress 3 flag (f3) may be displayed. In addition to the corresponding check mark (f3), the check mark (f2) corresponding to the progress 2 flag (f2) is not displayed, but the check mark (f1) corresponding to the progress 1 flag (f1) is displayed. You may. Although it is considered that the convenience for the user is enhanced by making it possible to identify whether or not the playback has been completed by the quick study function, the CPU 11 uses the quick study function to display the progress 2 flag (f2) on the quick study screen GQ. ), Only the check mark (f2) corresponding to the progress 1 flag (f1) and the check mark (f1) corresponding to the progress 1 flag (f1) may be displayed, and the check mark (f3) corresponding to the progress 3 flag (f3) may not be displayed. ..

In the quick study screen GQ of FIG. 10B, the progress 2 flag (f2) and the progress 3 flag (f3) of the first item "Week1 Day1 1-2_verb [1]" are both on, and the second one. item"
In "Day2 1-2_verb [2]", the progress 2 flag (f2) is off and the progress 3 flag (f3) is on, and the user watches the audio file of the second item in the previous quick study process. Indicates that it has been completed. Further, among the displayed contents, the last viewed item is automatically selected according to the previous quick study process, and the identification display H is shown. The items viewed according to the quick study process are stored in the quick study playlist storage unit 12c as the last viewed item when each item is viewed. Therefore, the above-mentioned selection and identification display H is executed by reading out the last viewed item stored in the quick study playlist storage unit 12c.

Then, when the [playback] icon P of the quick study screen GQ is touch-operated (step S4: Yes), the CPU 11 responds to the user operation by the quick study function as shown in FIG. 10 (C). Reads the audio file of the item "Day2 1-2_verb [2]" that has been selected or automatically selected based on the previous playback and is identified and displayed, and is played back by the audio output unit 19 as well as the relevant item. The progress 3 flag (f3) associated with is set to flag on (step S5).

As a result, even if the user is learning the content according to the application of the learning content, the user can immediately watch the content according to the previous quick study process by simply touching the [Quick Study] icon Q. You can listen and learn by watching the audio file from the content item.
