Hereinafter, a method of controlling a learning function of an image device having a learning function using a vocabulary learning database according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

5 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a learning menu setting screen according to the present invention, FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a learning function of an image device having a vocabulary learning function according to the present invention, and FIG. 7 is the vocabulary of FIG. 6. 8 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a learning screen, and FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a review screen according to the present invention.

The method of controlling a learning function of a video device applying the first embodiment of the video device having the learning function according to the present invention is performed according to the learning menu set by the user. When the provided learning menu setting key is pressed, the learning menu setting screen as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed through the CPT (8).

At this time, the learning menu setting screen includes a user item for using a learning function by a plurality of users, a learning level item for selecting a learning level suitable for oneself, and a start number item for setting a detailed level at a learning level set by oneself (eg For example, if the vocabulary number of the 'A' level is 1 to 500, it means that the detailed learning level of 500 is high.), The number of repetitions to select the number of vocabulary desired to be displayed repeatedly, and the time to display one vocabulary. It has a cycle item for selecting and a start item for setting start / cancel.

Therefore, set the details of the user or each item by using the '▲ ▼' key, and move to the desired item by using the '◀ ▶' key.When the setting is completed, set the learning menu using the '■' key. Quit.

In addition to the above items, the display position of the vocabulary learning data according to the user's learning menu setting, that is, the top or bottom of the screen can be selected using a hotkey provided in the remote controller or the main body, and the data arrangement item described above with reference to FIG. 2. (Word / Pronunciation Code / Interpretation / Synonym / Emoticon) The user can select an item he wants to display on the screen using a hotkey provided on the remote controller or the main body.

On the other hand, when the power of the TV is 'on', as described above, the microcomputer 4 uploads the start index from the database 11 and stores it in the EEPROM 5 to perform database setting.

Subsequently, it is determined whether the learning mode on / off key is input (S11), and whether the learning mode 'on' key is input (S12), and the determination result (S12), when the learning mode 'on' key is input, the user learns. The contents set through the menu setting function, that is, the learning level, the cycle, the number of repetitions, the display position, the start number, and the starting index uploaded from the vocabulary learning database 11 are read (S13).

Then, the start number is stored (S14), and using the start index and the start number, the user calculates an address in which the corresponding vocabulary learning data for which the user intends to start the vocabulary learning exists (S15).

At this time, the starting index of the learning level can be known through the start index, so adding the starting number set by the user becomes the address where the lexical learning data exists.

Subsequently, the microcomputer 4 applies an address control signal to the caption controller 14 to read the lexical learning data from the lexical learning database 11 (S16).

Accordingly, the caption controller 14 matches the lexical learning data with the font from the font ROM / program ROM / data RAM 15 and inputs it to the switching unit 6, whereby the microcomputer 4 controls the switching unit 6. Since the signal is applied, the lexical learning data is displayed on the CPT 8 via the image / deflection processor 7 in a caption form as shown in FIG. 7 (S17).

In this case, as described above, the user may selectively display a vocabulary, a phonetic symbol, an interpretation, a synonym, or a synonym according to the user's selection.

In addition, depending on the user's selection, the display position of the vocabulary learning data can be changed to the top or bottom of the screen.In this case, the OSD or caption subtitles are displayed when the OSD or caption subtitles such as volume adjustment and channel adjustment are displayed on the screen. Is to be displayed in preference to lexical learning data. For example, if the OSD for the upper screen is 'on', the lexical learning data display position is displayed at the bottom of the screen even when the user sets the display position to the upper screen and vice versa.

Then, the microcomputer 4 determines whether the display period is the same as the period set by the user (S18), and if it is the same, increases the start number by '1' (S19), and determines whether the number of repetitions is the same as the number of repetitions set by the user. (S20).

Subsequently, in the determination result (S20), if not the same, the stored start number is updated (S14), and the start index is added to the updated start number to calculate an address where the next lexical learning data exists, and the number of repetitions is set by the user. Steps S15 to S20 are repeated until the same number of repetitions is performed, and the next lexicon data display operation is performed.

If the number of repetitions is equal to the number of repetitions set by the user, the determination result (S20) returns to the start number set by the first user (S21), and repeats the display operation.

At this time, if the user sets the repetition number to 'continuous', the starting number is continuously increased to sequentially display the last vocabulary of the corresponding learning level, and the display returns to the beginning when the last vocabulary is displayed.

Meanwhile, when the learning mode 'off' key is input, the current learning level / cycle / repeat / display position / start number / start index is stored (S22) and the display of the lexical learning data is stopped (S23).

In addition, the present invention has a review function, when the user presses the review key provided on the remote control or the main body, the vocabulary learning corresponding to the number of repetitions set by the user among the recently displayed vocabulary learning data using the stored start number / start index The address of the data is calculated and the lexical learning data of the address is simultaneously displayed as shown in FIG. 8.

On the other hand, the above description has been described based on the first embodiment of the TV with a learning function according to the present invention, the caption control unit 14 when applying the second embodiment of the TV with a learning function according to the present invention The microcomputer 24 directly reads the corresponding vocabulary learning data from the vocabulary learning database 30 and matches the corresponding font through the font ROM 29 to convert the CPT (s) through the switching unit 26 and the image / deflection processing unit 27. The detailed algorithm is the same except that the OSD is displayed on the screen. Therefore, detailed operation explanation is omitted.

In addition, the present invention can perform the same learning function only by updating the vocabulary learning database without modifying the apparatus and method of the present invention even in the case of written English vocabulary or other languages such as Japanese or Chinese. It is apparent in the light of the above description of the present invention.
