It was possible to convert the screen into a signal (stea+comm1ttee) and copy the screen to the video printer 57.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above-mentioned conventional language practice devices are designed based on one professor, and the number of instructors currently increasing is two professors (a professor and an assistant at a university, a junior high school or It has become difficult for two teachers to use language practice devices to control devices for learners in the same classroom, as well as for bilingual classes conducted by Japanese teachers and foreign assistants in high schools. 6 The present invention solves these conventional problems.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a language practice device that allows two main devices to be placed in a preparation room or the same classroom to easily realize classroom division by two professors and joint classes by one professor. It is something.

In addition, the above-mentioned conventional language practice device had a problem in that the two main devices could not separate the plurality of learner devices and remotely control the plurality of learner devices independently. This solves the conventional problem of dividing the multiple learner devices under the main device into two main devices, and allowing each of the two main devices to independently conduct lessons between the multiple learner devices. The purpose is to provide an excellent language practice device that allows you to practice your language skills.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a relay box between the two main devices and the learner's device, and connects the communication line, audio line, and video line from the main device. The learner device can be divided into main devices by switching to each main device and switching the connections between the communication line, the audio line, and the video line with the learner device using the learner device division signal.

Also, the position information of the light pen, that is, the X and Y signals, the ON and OFF signals of the switch, and the ON and OFF of the keyboard.
Each main device processes signals independently in a light pen processing section and a key control section, and the main devices include a light pen and a CRT.

By operating the keyboard, it is possible to control multiple practical learning devices independently of the other main device.

(Function) Therefore, according to the present invention, an image projected on a CRT not only from one main device (A) but also from another main device (B) can be viewed from multiple locations under the main device from a light pen or keyboard. control of the learner's device, and the control of the manufactured ff (A) and main device (B).
) can each independently control the learner devices, and multiple learner devices can be used separately.

(Embodiment) Fig. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a main device, 2 is another main device, 3 is a learner's device, and 4 is a device for controlling the learner's device. 5 and 18 are main control processing units that control the entire main device, and 6 is a light pen processing unit of main device 1. , 7 is an audio processing unit for the Herad set of the main device 1, 8 is a booth control unit for connecting multiple learner devices of the main device 1, 9 is a video processing unit of the main device 1, and 10 is a main unit. Keyboard control section of the device 1, 11 is a relay box for connecting multiple learner devices 3 to the main device, 12 is a voice processing section for the 5!2 Herad set made by JAPAN, and 13 is a light of the main device 2. 14 is a keyboard control unit of the main device 2; 15 is a video processing unit of the main device 2; 16 is a booth control unit for connecting the main device 2 with a plurality of learner devices 3; 17 is a main device 19; a digital line for transmitting and receiving control data, teaching materials, etc., and audio and video signals between the device 1 and the plurality of learner devices 3;
is the control data between the main device 2 and the plurality of learner devices 3,
A digital line that sends and receives audio signals to send teaching materials, etc.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. In the above embodiment, the main device 1 or 2 that controls the learner device 3 controls the learning materials stored in the master tape recorder and VTR 22 and 23 located under the main device. The master tape recorder and VTR are controlled by the units 20 and 21, and the teaching materials are sent out to the learners. The teacher's voice captured by the bed set 32 or 33 is processed by the voice processing unit 7 or 12. Light pen 30.31. CR

With main device 1.

The plurality of learner devices are divided by switching the relay box E1 using control data stored in a non-volatile storage element, and dividing the learner devices 3.

Due to the above, multiple learner bags w3 can be used even after the power is turned off.
It is possible to restart the program in a divided state. In this way, according to the above embodiment, the plurality of learner devices under the main device are divided into two main devices, and the two main devices independently perform classes between the plurality of learner devices. It has the advantage of being able to

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention allows two main devices to independently control a plurality of learner devices.
This has the effect that a plurality of learner devices under the main device can be used separately.
