Description

Education system and method through the internet}

The present invention relates to an education system and method through the Internet, and more particularly, to an education mediation system and method through the Internet, where a server of an operator provides education suitable for a user when a user connects to an operator through the Internet.

In general, infants, elementary school students and secondary school students (hereinafter referred to as users) are often subscribed to the study paper to enhance their learning effect.

After you become a member of a study company, pay a monthly fee and the study company will send you the study paper related to the subject you want.

Then, the user will study using this work sheet.

In addition, the workbook company hires teachers to distribute or collect the workbooks through them, and they help to improve the learning ability of the user by visiting the user's home periodically, or by phone or fax, at regular intervals. Is given. That is, the explanation for solving the problem or supplementary explanation for the wrong problem.

Such workbooks are spread and activated on a national scale, but include the following problems.

First, there is a problem in terms of environment. A workbook is a one-time expendable supply. That is, the data is dirty when the user uses it once. Therefore, this material is thrown away as garbage and wastes resources called paper.

Second, the privacy of the user's home can be violated. Teachers of the learning paper company periodically visit the homes of the members of the learning paper, which can invade privacy to other family members who are not parties to the learning paper.

Third, it is a burden on the economic side. The distribution and retrieval of the workbook is made by the workbook teachers visiting each user's home. This method limits the number of homes that can be visited at any given time, so the workbook company needs to increase the number of teachers. Accordingly, there is a problem in that the user of the study paper becomes a result of paying the teacher's salary and the cost is burdened.

Fourth, it is the educational effect of the workbook. Worksheet teachers travel within a given period of time to visit the homes of a large number of users, to distribute, retrieve the textbooks, and to provide advice for solving the problem. You have no choice but to solve the problem yourself. In addition, because the teacher assigns the user a predetermined amount of homework once a week, the user cannot adjust the speed of learning.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned disadvantages, to provide an educational system and method through the Internet that provides the user with a learning paper, questions and advice through the Internet.

As shown in Figure 1, the education system via the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention,

User's computer 10;

A subscriber database 60 that stores information about the subscriber;

An education information database 50 that stores information on the education content and advice;

When the user connects to the computer 10 through the Internet, the subscriber database 60 is searched and controlled to search for a valid subscriber. If the user is found to be a valid subscriber, the corresponding training contents selected by the user are presented to the subscriber in the form of a file. A web server 71 for controlling to transmit;

A data server 72 for searching the subscriber database and the education information database at the request of the web server 71;

It includes a display controller 13, a display 11, a system bus 15, a keyboard 18, and a mouse 17.

The computer 10 is connected to the Internet network through the private communication network 20 and the web support server 40, in addition to the Internet network 30 may be connected to its own server.

Then, the operation of the education system through the Internet having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

2 to 4 are operational flowcharts of the teaching method via the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The operator acquires subscribers by means of the Internet or telephone, and provides educational services desired by the subscribers. Of course, it is possible to provide a more affordable service by placing an advertisement.

First, the subscriber boots up the computer 10 and loads a web browser program.

In this state, the user of the computer 10 connects to the business operator using the mouse 17 or the keyboard 18 (S201).

Then, the central processing unit 12 is connected to the operator through the modem 14 and the Internet network 30 to the corresponding IP address.

Then, the homepage of the operator is displayed on the display 11 of the user's computer 10 (S201).

If the user enters a personal ID and password on the home page, the web server 71 requests the data server 72 whether the ID and password entered by the user match (S202).

Then, the data server 72 retrieves the corresponding ID and password from the subscriber database 60, reads whether the user is a legitimate subscriber or member, and informs the web server 71.

If the user is a legitimate subscriber, the web server 71 runs the intelligent agent program, and generates a character with the teacher's image in the form of a file using the image generator 74. In addition, the voice generator 75 generates a voice file corresponding to the guide phrase (S206).

Then, the web server 71 transmits the video and audio files generated by the video generator 74 and the audio generator 75 to the user's computer 10 in real time according to the intelligent agent program. Then, the display 11 of the user's computer 10 displays a character to guide or advise learning. Here, the character may be a parent of a member, a teacher, or a popular singer or a talent. Such a character is, for example, when the user wants his father as a character, the user sends the father's picture in the form of an image file to the web server 71, and the image generator 74 and the voice generator 75 do this. Generate two-dimensional or three-dimensional images. Of course, since the images of talents and singers are embedded in the educational information database 50 in advance, such a procedure is not necessary. In addition, the program that the character suggests advice or learning according to the user's learning degree is implemented by web design and development technology, web server and database server technology. In the following description, detailed descriptions regarding file transfer between the web server 10 and the user computer 10 will be omitted.

On the other hand, if the subscriber is not a legitimate subscriber, the web server 71 inquires of the user of the computer 10 whether member registration is desired (S203).

If the user wants to register, the web server 71 registers the user as a member by receiving the member's information, the member's parent's information, the fee for the education, the fee payment method, the ID, etc. (S205).

In addition, if the user does not want to register as a guest (Guest) to use the service (S204). At this time, the service use degree is limited as necessary.

In this state, the web server 71 inquires whether the user is a member or a parent of the member (S207).

Then, in response to the user's response, when the user is a member, the web server 71 requests the contents of the learning information of the member from the database server 72, and the database server 72 searches the subscriber database 60. The corresponding information is provided to the web server 71 (S208).

Then, the web server 71 presents the learning progress status, learning goal related information, etc. of the member, and inquires whether or not the user wants to start learning (S209).

Next, if the user wants to start learning, the web server 71 inquires whether the user wants to learn lessons, today's tasks or pushed tasks (S211), the database server 72 and training the learning process that the user selects Provided using the information database 50 (S212).

At this time, if the user wants to advise on the problem while learning, the web server 71 provides the user with the video and voice of the first advice of the problem stored in the education information database in advance (S213). The video and audio are implemented by the video generator 74 and the audio generator 75 which are video and audio file generating programs. Here, advice does not mean complete knowledge for problem solving. For example, for a toddler learning 2 + 3, the advice could be: "Young-hee has two candies, and she gave her three candies, and how many can- then Alice has?" I can give advice. Of course, the advice varies depending on the content of the member's educational workbook.

After that, if the user wants another advice, the web server 71 provides more detailed advice, which may be variously modified by the operator (S214). The web server 71 stores the information about providing such advice in the educational information database 50, and the accumulated data can be used to solve problems of each member's stages and ages. Accumulate statistics, such as whether tangible advice is effective. Therefore, the next time the service is changed, the service provider can refer to it.

Next, the web server 71 determines whether the user has completed the learning task, and if the learning task is completed, notifies the user of the task performing result (S216).

Thereafter, the web server 71 inquires whether the user wants a reward for learning (S217). This is to increase the user's desire to learn so that the reward can be obtained only after the problem is completely solved.

If the user wants a reward, the web server 71 provides the user's desired among computer games, quizzes or entertainment information (S219).

Thereafter, when the user wants to finish learning (S218), the web server 71 ends the learning, and returns to the learning step (S212) when the user wants to continue learning.

On the other hand, if the user wants to use the additional system in the step (S210), the web server 71 determines whether the member or parent (S220), if the member, provides a bulletin board, chat room, e-mail, educational reference materials, etc. (S221).

On the other hand, if the user is the parent of the member in the step (S202) and the step (S220), the web server 71 the user's system usage history, problem solving and learning performance statistics information, the user's current learning ability degree, the user's Pros and cons, information to compensate for the weak part of the user and the role of the parent, provides a direction for the user to learn, information about the adjustment of the learning level of the user (S222). Such information may be variously modified according to a user's desire or a service direction of an operator.

In addition, such information can be received by the user to access the Internet using a mobile phone.

In addition, the web server 71 of the operator provides the grader course information to the visitor via the Internet.

Embodiment of the present invention of the above process is possible in a variety of modifications, it is possible to always provide a variety of information to the user by building a variety of databases related to education.

In addition, necessary information such as the curriculum history for members is also stored in a database.

In addition, although the present invention has shown an embodiment relating to Internet access through a computer, the user or parent can use the service even through a medium such as wireless Internet such as a mobile phone or Internet TV.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a learning system and method through the Internet through which the user or parents can see a more fruitful learning effect at a low cost.
