It is about.

With English as the world's common language, English education is now essential. In the global era, the actual standard language of cyberspace is written in English, and a large amount of information is also stored in English. English education is more urgent.

Due to the necessity of English, English education is an essential course in most countries, and various learning methods are introduced. As a result, these various learning methods suggest ways to express one's opinion in English. This will improve the naturalness of the expression of expression through understanding the culture of the English speaking domain and repetitive learning of the phrases they use. To do this, memorizing words and phrases that make up English is an essential requirement. Sometimes the method of learning English is geared towards simple knowledge-based entrance exams, but this also requires memorization. As such, various methods have been sought to improve the efficiency of memorization in learning English, and many methods have been proposed.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a perspective view of a sentence memorizing apparatus through an image according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sentence memorizing apparatus through the image of the present invention includes a power button 111, a mode button 112, a button 11 including a selection button 113, and a word to support user manipulation. And a keyboard 12 for inputting a sentence, a display 13 for displaying a user operation and a learning process, a microphone 14 for inputting a user's voice, and a speaker 15 for outputting the learning process as a sound. It is.

In addition, a memory card slot into which the memory card 16 or the like is inserted is formed to support the expandability of the learning data, and an interface terminal for connecting to various devices such as a PC is provided.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a control circuit of a sentence memorizing apparatus through an image according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the button 11, the keyboard 12, the display 13, the microphone 14, the speaker 15, the memory card slot 17, and the interface terminal 18 are microprocessors. (19), a microprocessor (19) is further connected to a ROM (20) for storing a program necessary for driving the sentence memorizing device through an image, and a RAM (21) for storing data related to learning.

In this embodiment, the voice processing unit 22 is further provided between the microphone 14 and the microprocessor 19 to perform voice input processing of the user. That is, the voice processing unit 22 has a function of converting an analog signal transmitted through the microphone 14 into a digital signal, whether the user voice is designated for the signal converted into the digital signal, the user voice and the stored data. To compare words and sentences).

Here, the speaker 15 performs ADPCM and CELP level code / decoding functions for compression recording / playback of voice data and MP3, WMA, AAC, and AC-3 level digital audio data. DSP, digital to analog conversion DAC and the like.

In the present embodiment, the sentence memorization apparatus using the image consisting of both the microphone and the keyboard is proposed, but the sentence memorization apparatus through the image can be configured by mounting only the microphone or the keyboard to simplify the product according to the user's preference.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the voice processing unit 22 is formed separately from the microprocessor 19, but they may be combined to form a single module.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a database process for each difficulty level of a sentence to be memorized according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a view illustrating a display state for databaseization.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, after inputting a sentence to be memorized (S1) and pressing the “Enter” button, the sentence to be memorized is separated and displayed to be clicked and displayed for each word. After that, select the "Step" button separated for each difficulty. The stage starts with stage 1 and increases the difficulty. When you click on a word to blank in the selected step, the clicked word is displayed in the color of the selected step. Alternatively, a drag method may be used in addition to the click method (S2). When all the words to be blanked are selected for each step selected, click the Save button (S3). The sentence to be memorized is stored in the memorization data DB (Data Base) with data of each step, and the above-mentioned steps S1 to S3 are repeated for other sentences to be memorized before, and the database process is repeated. . "Finish" button is pressed when the input of all sentences to be memorized is completed (S4).

On the other hand, the memorization data DB is operated in the server concept that can provide services to a large number of users through the network, and the learner log DB is also operated together with the memorization data DB. In other words, the learner log DB stores the achievement of the sentence to be memorized separately so that learning can be performed for each user step (S5 to S6).

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of memorizing sentences through an image according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, when the user presses the power button 111, power is applied to the system, and the mode is selected in the state in which the driving preparation is completed by pressing the mode button 112 and the corresponding English sentence to be memorized. When the selection button 113 is pressed in the specified state (S11), the display of the corresponding English sentence is made (S12). The English sentence is displayed as shown in FIG.

At this time, when the original pronunciation icon (A), the content description icon (B), the memorization start icon (C) displayed in the displayed content is pressed, the corresponding function is executed. That is, when the native pronunciation icon (A) is pressed, the voice of the native speaker who has recorded the corresponding English sentence is output through the speaker 15. When the content description icon (B) is pressed, descriptions of interpretation, phrase analysis, grammar, etc. of the corresponding English sentences are output as voice through the speaker 15 (S13).

As such, when a sufficient description of the English sentence is made, the memorization process, which is a feature of the present invention, is made next. That is, when the memorization start icon (C) is pressed (S14), a blank process is performed for each memorization unit (P, Q, R) among all sentences forming the English sentence. The memorization unit will be preferably divided into a semantic unit (thought unit) of the sentence (S15). On the other hand, the user performs a user response to the blank portion, the method of the user response is to perform a voice input through the microphone 14, or to perform a keyboard input through the keyboard 12. At this time, counting is performed from the moment when the blank processing is performed (S16), and if there is no response within the set time, it may be preferable to perform an alarm. If there is no response within the set time, the blank processed memorization unit is redisplayed during the set time (S17 to S18). This is due to the judgment that the user did not perform the memorization.

The microprocessor 19 compares the input voice input data or keyboard input data to determine whether the input data is correct (S19). If the input data is correct, the next memorization unit area is blanked (S20). Accordingly, the user repeats the process from step S16 to step S20 for the next memorization unit.

Thereafter, the microprocessor 19 determines whether or not all the English sentences have been processed in the space (S21). If it is determined that there is an area in which there is no space processing, the microprocessor 19 proceeds to step S16, and determines that all of the space processing has been performed. If so, a selection message is displayed to repeat the memorization process for the sentence (S22). When the user selects the repetition, the process proceeds to the step S12. If the user does not select the repetition, the prepared English sentence is output on the display 13 (S23). Since the process is repeated the above process will not be repeated description.

Meanwhile, in the blank processing of the memorization unit area, only the corresponding memorization unit area may be blanked or may be blanked together with the previous memorization unit area. In this case, the memorized unit that is finally blanked out becomes the entire English sentence.

In addition, where the importance of grammar, idioms, etc. is high in the blanking area, the importance may be emphasized by using a separate blanking process or a separate color, or by blinking or underlining. This process will preferably take place before the start of memorization, i.e. in the step S13.

On the other hand, if the voice input is performed in the process of user response for each memorization unit, the voice reading process should be performed. Due to the different tone and pronunciation of different voices for each user, an accurate recognition process of the voice input will be required. In addition, when a keyboard input is made, an error correction is required in case of a space miss or spelling. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, respectively.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a voice input data processing process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 7, when a voice input is made from the user, the voice signal is converted by the voice processing unit 22 (S31). By this conversion process, the comparison speech signal for each word is generated. In this case, if the speech input is unclear, an error occurs during the conversion process and it is impossible to generate the comparison speech signal. In this case, an error message is delivered and the voice input is requested again (S32 to S33).

On the other hand, when the conversion process is normally performed for all the voices of all the words to generate a comparison voice signal (S34), the generated comparison voice signal and the native speaker voice signal is compared (S35).

At this time, the comparison judgment is measured through the frequency change amount by time. That is, it is determined whether the English sentence is pronounced close to the native speaker through the frequency change amount. Here, the frequency variation over time is defined as a quantitative number and is defined for each word based on the pronunciation of the native speaker. When there is a voice input, the input voice is converted into a quantitative number, and then the proximity is measured by comparing the number defined by the native speaker's pronunciation with the number defined by the user's pronunciation. In order to convert such quantitative numbers, the inside of the voice processing unit 22 includes a device for converting voice into quantitative numbers, a device for comparing the converted numbers, and the like. Because of the quantitative number, it is easy to set the setting value for distinguishing correct and incorrect answers.

Subsequently, when the correct answer rate of the English sentence by the voice input is greater than or equal to the set value, it is determined whether there is a problem in pronunciation, and when it is determined that the correct answer rate of the English sentence is less than the set value, a re-input (S33) is required (S36). . As such, even if there is a problem in pronunciation, it may be desirable to perform a process of separately processing the pronunciation of the native speaker and further processing the correct answer (S37 to S38).

8 is a flowchart illustrating a key input data processing process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 8, the keyboard input data input by the user is compared with the English sentence data. First, a determination is made regarding the spacing (S51), that is, only when the spacing mistake is made due to the user's mistake. A space check is made. In this case, because there is a spacing error, the process of randomly separating or pasting attached or dropped words is performed. Then, the comparison is made for each word separated or pasted (S52).

After that, the accuracy of the word is determined (S53). If the accuracy is less than or equal to the set value, re-input is requested (S54). If the accuracy is greater than or equal to the set value, the correct answer is processed (S55).

On the other hand, the description for the wrong portion (correct spelling, spacing, words not input) is output (S56).

Although the memorization apparatus and the memorization method have been described in the present embodiment, the present invention can also be applied to an operation mode of a client (PC) -server while being connected to a network such as the Internet. That is, the client may provide a keyboard or a microphone, which is a normal input means, and the server may perform the present invention by constructing a system for determining whether a correct answer is made to the data transmitted from the client. In addition, the same operation process may be performed after accessing a server through a network using the memorization apparatus presented in the present embodiment.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it will be apparent that many modifications are possible by those skilled in the art within the technical spirit of the present invention.

As described above, the apparatus and method for memorizing sentences through the image according to the present invention has the effect of improving the memorization ability by having a strong image of the sentence processed by blanking the sentence to be memorized.
