Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain connection between slave sets and between master sets by providing a microcomputer operated in the stand-alone mode to the master sets and the slave sets and equipping local area networks. CONSTITUTION:A memory group 12 consists of ROMs and RAMs. An auxiliary memory group 13 stores an OS, languages, picture data and problem data or the like. A picture memory 14 displays the picture and the problem data. A display 15 displays an image of the picture memory. A teaching materials forming block 16 outputs teaching materials formed by a microcomputer to a recorder according to the sequence. A voice/music source 17 outputs sound information in synchronizing with the teaching materials forming clock when the teaching materials require voice and music. The recorder 18 records the outputs and blocks 16, 17, 18 form a learning tape required for self-study.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention uses independent teaching equipment for each student and connects communication lines in the classroom to mutually submit questions, answer answers, tally, and
This relates to a system that adds self-study and information exchange capabilities.

Conventionally, OA work (OOM-PUTI AIDE) has been carried out by installing a large computer in the center and combining it with a group of terminals that can receive data from the computer.
D Engineering N5TRUCT Engineering ○N] The system is well known.

However, in the conventional method, unless the central large wave computer is in operation, each terminal does not enter the operating state.
Self-study, an activity often practiced in regular classrooms, was impossible.

Furthermore, since the terminal itself does not have a storage device, it can only exchange data temporarily, and can only receive instructions from the central computer 1, while information exchange between students (child terminals) is It was simply impossible.

The present invention has been made to eliminate the above problems. A combination of a parent device and a slave device can be constructed at a much lower cost than a combination of a large computer and a terminal, and can have more powerful functions. Both the parent unit and the slave unit can be used as stand-alone microcomputers, and the parent unit only needs to have slightly superior functionality than the slave unit. In addition, this educational system differs from the parent unit, child unit, and ordinary microcomputer in that the parent unit has the function of creating a soft tape using auxiliary memory, such as a music tape, while the slave unit has the function of creating a soft tape. It has the ability to play soft tapes and process data.

This function allows the child device to perform its own self-study work even if the parent device is not working properly. In addition, by LAN communication between each master unit and slave unit, the conventional central computer,
It is possible to take the form of an OA engineering class based on a combination of terminals. In addition, mutual understanding between teachers and students, which is carried out in a normal classroom, becomes possible, such as information exchange between the master unit and slave units, and information exchange between slave units.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

It is also possible to save data processed by the U or data received through the communication interface.

As explained above, the present invention consists of a microcomputer that can operate both the master unit and the slave unit on a stand-alone basis, and by equipping this with a LAN,

In addition to covering the advantages of both OA technology and independent microcomputer type OA technology, it also enables horizontal connections between slave units, slave units, parent units, and parent units, creating an ideal environment as teaching equipment. The effect as a teaching device is enormous.
