Description

  The present invention relates to an auxiliary tool for multisensory literacy learning, and more specifically to a tactile literacy plate.

  Learning disability is a manifestation of a problem in the access path to knowledge, and there is no causal relationship with individual intelligence. People with learning disabilities are not deficient in reading ability or intelligence quotient, and are largely due to insufficient activation of the language center of the brain. That is, the normal literacy process of seeing, listening, and writing does not generate sufficient stimulation in the brain, and as a result, the cerebrum makes it difficult to memorize some characters.

  “Tactile writing” is one of the “multisensory teaching methods” and is an especially important learning method for learners with learning disabilities. The “multisensory teaching method” is to assist learning disabled people and infants in 66 languages in the world through one or more senses such as sight, hearing, and touch. In other words, the most effective teaching method is to use more senses for people with learning disabilities and young children. In particular, when tactile sensation is used, the tactile nerves of the cerebrum of learning disabled people and infants are effectively stimulated to generate memory, which helps to memorize new characters.

  In a literacy card using the principle of tactile writing in the prior art, one literacy card is required for each character. For example, in the case of Chinese, 4,000 literacy cards are required to learn 4,000 characters, and the literacy costs are high. As a result, most learning disabled people cannot afford to pay for the benefits of tactile writing. Also, once a literacy card is made, the characters on the surface cannot be changed, so only one type of character can be learned per literacy card set. Therefore, a plurality of sets of literacy cards are required to learn a plurality of types of characters. However, when a large number of literacy cards are produced, the cost increases and the consideration for the environment is lacking. Also, if the number of literacy cards is too large, it is difficult to find a card necessary for use, which is extremely inconvenient.

  In addition, about 50% of the world's visual stress patients are learning disabled. Learning disabilities are sensitive to some colors of light, especially white light, due to visual problems. Visual stress is a symptom that blurs or moves so that the lexical phrase is also expressed as a river or a worm during reading (see Fig. 7), or a symptom that constantly shakes as if the characters dance in a lump (see Fig. 8). ) Appear as one or more of Most of the reading materials that are viewed have white as the background color, but white is the reflected light of all colors. For this reason, the patient may complain of trouble or fatigue when reading even under strong light or normal light, and the reading speed is significantly affected.

  In order to solve the technical problem that the conventional literacy card cannot relieve the visual stress, a single literacy card in the prior art requires one card per character. A transparent or translucent sand-like tactile literacy plate capable of learning the characters is provided.

  A tactile literacy plate, in order from the bottom, is provided with a color filter, a substrate and a particle layer, and the particle layer is formed by pasting particles with a transparent paste on the upper surface of the substrate, The substrate and the particle layer are transparent or translucent.

  Further, the haptic literacy plate covers an electronic device, and the thickness of the haptic literacy plate is 1.0 to 2.3 mm.

  Furthermore, the thickness of the tactile literacy plate is 1.8 mm.

  Preferably, the substrate is made of polyvinyl chloride or transparent polyethylene or transparent silica.

  Further, the substrate is made of soft polyvinyl chloride.

  Preferably, the substrate is made of rigid polyvinyl chloride.

  Preferably, a plurality of display adhesive seals are attached to the bottom of the substrate.

  Further, the particle layer is a transparent sand particle layer or a transparent silica particle layer.

  Furthermore, the roughness of the particle layer is # 30 to # 400.

  Preferably, the roughness of the particle layer (120) is # 150.

  The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows. When a transparent or translucent tactile literacy plate is placed on a character, the character is seen through the particle layer. Stimulating the user's sense of touch during the process of copying with the finger on the particle layer increases the user's sensory perception and memory of characters, thereby reducing the difficulty in the literacy process of learning disabilities and infants. In addition, the color filter reduces the entry of light of some color into the eyes, thereby reducing the visual stress on the user. The present invention is convenient, fast, low cost, and easy to spread. By simply using the tactile literacy plate in combination with a thin electronic device to acquire characters, learning disabilities and infants can learn countless characters in languages around the world, both indoors and outdoors.

  The present invention will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

  The present invention is a color filter (for the technical problem that the conventional literacy card used for learning disabilities and infants requires one per character and the conventional literacy card cannot relieve visual stress. A colored or colorless tactile literacy plate having a layered structure in which a substrate 110 and a particle layer 120 are sequentially provided from the bottom is provided. By adding a particle layer to a transparent or translucent substrate, the user puts the tactile literacy plate of the present invention on a different character, and if the character displayed on the particle layer is copied with a finger, the tactile sensation is caused by the roughness of the particle layer. Is stimulated. As a result, since the user is also stimulated by the brain based on the conventional literacy, the difficulty in literacy is reduced. In addition, by providing a color filter and allowing the user to select the tactile literacy plate to be of various colors or colorless, the entry of light waves of any color into the eyes is reduced, reducing the user's visual stress and learning Efficiency is improved. In addition, by changing the characters of an electronic device (for example, tablet PC) covered with a tactile literacy plate, it becomes possible to learn countless characters from around the world.

  In order to describe the present invention more clearly, the following description will be made with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

  1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the tactile literacy plate 100 of the present invention is placed on the printed material 300 and copied. In the present embodiment, the printed material 300 may be a sheet on which characters such as characters printed on a sheet, characters handwritten on the sheet, and various types of scribes are described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the tactile literacy plate 100 of this embodiment includes a color filter, a substrate 110, and a particle layer 120 that is the uppermost layer of the substrate 110. After the substrate 110 is placed on the printed material 300, it is copied using the finger 200 on the particle layer 120.

  Since copying is required, the substrate 110 and the particle layer 120 need to be transparent or translucent so that the user can clearly see the characters on the printed material 300 under normal light irradiation.

  In addition, the total thickness of the substrate 110 and the particle layer 120 also affects the copying experience. In the case of the tactile literacy plate 100 that is too thick, the character is likely to fluctuate due to the refraction of light rays, and it is difficult to copy. In addition, if the thickness is too thick, the light transmission is liable to be hindered. Therefore, various thicknesses of tactile literacy plates 100 were presented to the user to test the optimum thickness range. As a result of the experiment, the total thickness of the substrate 110 and the particle layer 120 can be a maximum of 2.3 mm and a minimum of 0.3 mm, and the optimum thickness is 0.6 mm.

  In this embodiment, since the object to be copied is the printed material 300, a flexible sheet is usually selected as the substrate 110 so that a good adhesion effect can be obtained. And the particle layer 120 is formed by performing a sandblasting process to the said flexible sheet, or sticking a sand-grained sheet | seat directly on a flexible sheet.

  When using this embodiment, the user covers the printed material 300 with the tactile literacy plate 100 so that the one surface of the substrate 110 and the printed material 300 are in close contact with each other, and the character 200 displayed on the particle layer 120 is touched with the finger 200. Copy as if tracing. Compared with writing using a conventional pen, the present embodiment reduces the difficulty in literacy because the user's tactile stimulation increases during writing.

  The present invention further provides a second embodiment shown in FIGS. In this embodiment, the tactile literacy plate 100 is placed on the electronic device 400 and copied. The electronic device 400 may be a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer display, or the like. In this embodiment, the tactile literacy plate may be used in combination with computer software for learning characters, a computer game, or the like. According to this, the interest in literacy increases and motivation of the user is caused, so that learning efficiency is improved.

  In the present example, since the object of copying is changed to the electronic device 400, the substrate 110 made of a flexible sheet is not an optimal embodiment. In order to ensure stability during copying, the material of the substrate 110 is usually changed to a hard or soft transparent or translucent sheet. For example, the substrate 110 is manufactured by selecting a material such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), transparent polyethylene (PE), or transparent silica. According to this, at the time of copying, a touch error due to the substrate 110 being distorted by finger pressure does not occur. In this case, the particle layer 120 may be formed by attaching transparent sand particles or transparent silica particles to the surface of the substrate 110 with a transparent paste.

  PVC can be roughly divided into two types, hard and soft, depending on the amount of plasticizer to be added. In this embodiment, when the substrate 110 is manufactured using hard PVC, it is necessary to affix a plurality of display adhesive seals 130 to the bottom of the substrate 110. The case where the tablet is the electronic device 400 will be described. A plurality of display adhesive seals 130 at the bottom of the substrate 110 are attracted to the side frame of the electronic device 400. Therefore, the position of the tactile literacy plate 100 does not shift due to the sliding of the finger 200 during copying. In addition, the display adhesive seal 130 is usually provided at the edge or corner of the back surface of the substrate 110 so that the display area of the display is not blocked by the display adhesive seal 130 during use.

  When the substrate 110 is manufactured using soft PVC, it is not necessary to attach a plurality of display adhesive seals 130 to the bottom of the substrate 110. In this case, since the substrate 110 naturally adheres to the electronic device 400, the position of the tactile literacy plate 100 is not shifted by the sliding of the finger 200.

  As a difference from the above embodiment, since the object to be copied is the electronic device 400 in this embodiment, when these electronic devices 400 have a touch control function, a touch error occurs during the copying, It is easy for the replication learning experience to occur. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure sufficient stability after setting the thickness again to ensure sufficient clarity.

  Next, an experiment was conducted in which subjects 6 to 14 years old copied Chinese kanji on a tablet. All experimental samples were limited to roughness # 150. Table 1 shows the experimental results.

  From the above experiment, when the electronic device was used as a copy object, the total thickness of the tactile literacy plate was limited to 1.0 to 2.3 mm, and the optimum thickness was 1.8 mm.

  Many people with reading and writing disabilities, unlike healthy individuals, are generally too sensitive or too insensitive to touch. In both the above-described embodiments, the tactile sensation is generated by using the particle layer 120. The roughness of the particle layer 120 can also affect the experience during the actual use process. In the case of the too smooth particle layer 120, sufficient tactile sensation is not generated, so that sufficient cerebral stimulation cannot be generated at the time of copying, but in the case of the too coarse particle layer 120, the user feels pain at the time of copying, and the skin There is also a risk of hurting.

  About such a subject, the experiment which makes a 6-14 year old subject replicate Chinese kanji was performed, and the roughness which should be selected was determined. The experimental results are shown in Table 2.

  From the experiment, it was found that the allowable roughness range is # 30 to # 400. The larger this number, the smoother and the optimum roughness was # 150.

  Most of the reading materials that are viewed have white as the background color, but white is the reflected light of all colors. Therefore, the patient may complain of malfunction and ease of reading when reading, even under strong light or normal light. If the invasion of light waves of some color into the eyes can be reduced, visual stress can be reduced, and reading of people with learning disabilities can be assisted. Therefore, in order to further understand the effect of the “background color of characters” on reading, the present invention explores various colors that can make reading easier for people with learning disabilities, and makes them transparent or translucent for each learning disabled. The color required for the substrate was determined.

  In order to understand the effect of the "character background color" on reading, we conducted experiments with learning disabled people in elementary, junior high, and high school. We examined whether it was possible to assist. The results are shown in Table 3.

  From the experimental results, 85% of learning disabled people thought that reading would be more comfortable if there was a color in the character background, and only 15% of learning disabled people thought that it would be best to use white as the background color. there were. Above all, aqua and turquoise were the most comfortable colors for learning disabilities. In the present invention, various colors can be provided so that consumers can select, so that it can greatly support people with learning disabilities.

  The various colors required for the transparent or translucent substrate may be realized by adding a dye corresponding to the color to the raw material of the production substrate 110, or may be realized by a color filter provided under the substrate 110. Good. Thereby, according to the different needs for every user, the said product in this invention can be colored or colorless.

  In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, a particle layer is added to a transparent or translucent substrate, and after the user puts it on a character, the user copies it on the particle layer using a finger. The user is stimulated with tactile sensation during writing, and the sensory perception of characters increases, so the difficulty in the literacy process of learning disabilities and infants is reduced. Further, by providing a color filter in the lower layer portion of the substrate, the tactile literacy plate can be of a different color. Since the color filter can reduce the entry of light of any color into the eye, the user's visual stress is reduced.

  The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications within the scope of specific embodiments and applications based on the idea of the present invention. All of these variations fall within the scope of protection of the present invention without departing from the concept of the present invention.
