Understanding and memorizing the words that make up a language is essential for language learning, and it is no exaggeration to say that language consists of a combination of words. In accordance with the characteristics of such a language, a large number of vocabulary collections for foreign language learning (eg English) are on the market. Most vocabulary on the market includes the meaning of words, synonyms for words, and antonyms. Some vocabulary lists use words as examples. However, the vast majority of vocabulary words on the market place words (eg English words) in letters "a, b, c, d, ... z." It is common to implement a simple arrangement in order, or write down synonyms, antonyms, and use cases of words around a single word. That is, the learner memorizes the words in the order presented in the vocabulary for understanding and memorizing the words or memorizes the words through the use cases of the words.

On the other hand, the applicant has found that each letter constituting the English has its own feeling, and that each letter affects the meaning of the word by the feeling it has.

For example, the Applicant has seen that the word "cup" can simply be seen as a cup, but the letter "c" is assigned to the shape of the opening or round shape. The same can be applied to the word "cave" or the word "curve" starting with the letter "c". Of course, not all words that begin with the letter "c" follow this rule. However, the present applicant has contemplated how to apply the feeling of each letter constituting the word to the word having the letter. Accordingly, the present applicant provides a language learning material that forms the meaning of each letter constituting English by combining the image and the associative image based on the findings, thereby enabling the learner to learn the word through the meaning of the letter.

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

Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a language learning providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The illustrated language learning providing system 100 includes a word image processing module 110, a user image setting module 120, and an associative image matching module 140.

The word image processing module 110 includes a learning target word, an image representing the feeling of the first character among the characters constituting the learning target word, and associative information for describing the image. According to the words included in the learning content to be provided, images corresponding to the characters and associative information are sequentially provided. The feeling of the letter refers to the property of the letter itself. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 together.

3 shows a view for explaining the feeling for the letter “b”.

As shown, the letter "b"

1) swell up to burst;

2) The feeling of expansion to the outside. First, look at the word "bag" starting with the letter "b" to store something and get tight, the word "ball" to expand outward, and the word "bubble" to swell to burst. Giving. As such, it can be seen that the feeling of the word has the feeling of the letter b according to the attribute of the letter b. Of course, not all words that begin with the letter "b" follow 1) and 2), but a large number of words follow them, so it is very efficient to use them for language learning.

4 shows a view for explaining the feeling for the letter "c".

As shown, the letter "c", like the letter "b" described above,

3) It has a round shape.

4) It feels curved.

According to the feeling of the letter "c", the word "cup" has a rounded entry, the word "cave" also has a rounded entry, the word "arc" means an arc, and the word "curve" Indicates that it is curved. As such, it can be seen that the words "c" and the word "c" as the first letter often have the meaning of 3) and 4).

In addition, the letter "c" may be included in the image of the word containing the letter, or may function as part of the image. In the figure, it can be seen that in the case of the word "cup" it is formed with an image representing the word "cup". By forming the letter "c" constituting the word "cup" at the entrance of the cup, the learner naturally associates the shape of the letter "c" with the word "cup" with the round.

Meanwhile, the feeling of each letter described through FIGS. 3 and 4, and words having each letter as the first letter is as described through 1) to 4). Contents described through 1) to 4) are descriptions of feelings of letters or words, and may be included in learning contents provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n to contribute to language learning. The information described in 1) to 4) is called associative information, and the associative information is preferably included in the learning content provided from the language learning providing system 100 to the user terminals 10a to 10n. The association of association information, images, and text will be described later in detail.

The word image processing module 110 combines an image (eg, reference A) for a word provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n, and an associative image (eg, 7) for associating the image. For example, if the word "balloon" is a learning target word, the word image processing module 110 may describe an image 5 for the word "balloon", an associative image that may be associated with the word "balloon", and an associative image. The association information is combined into one and provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n. This will be described with reference to FIG. 2 together.

2 illustrates an example of learning content provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n in the language learning providing system 100.

In the illustrated learning contents, a word input menu (3) for entering a word desired by the learner, an image (5) for a word, a word (6), an associative image (7) of words and letters, and an associative image (7) The association information 8 to be described, and the learning setting menu 9 for setting the environment such as the learning repetition frequency and the learning speed for the word selected by the learner are provided.

The word input menu 3 is provided for inputting a word to be learned by the learner. The word image processing module 110 loads the word input by the learner through the word input menu 3 from the database 112, and the image 5 of the first letter constituting the word and the word 5 of the word. Combine according to the type of learning content. The combined learning content has a form as shown in FIG. 2, and the learner can more easily learn a word through a feeling for a word input through the word input menu 3. In addition, the word image processing module 110 may call another image similar to the associative image of the word "balloon" and provide it to the learner. As shown in the figure, the images A, B, and C that match the associative image 7 of the word " balloon " input by the learner can be provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n. Accordingly, the learner can of course learn the words he wants to learn (balloon), and a plurality of words (blow, baby, boom) associated with the words (balloon). These words have a bulging feeling and a bulging feeling.

Meanwhile, the drawing illustrates that the images 5, A, B, and C included in the learning content are still images, but the illustrated image may be a moving image. For example, the image A may be a moving picture (or a flash image), and the image B may be an image (or a flash image, hereinafter omitted) in which the bomb explodes. In this case, the learning content includes one or a plurality of video images corresponding to a word, and the word image processing module 110 combines each menu (5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) with a plurality of video images. It should be converted into a form that can be reproduced in the user terminals 10a to 10n (eg, MPEG format). At this time, the learning setting menu 9 is provided with an interface for setting the playback speed and the number of times (the number of repetitions) of one or a plurality of video images included in the learning content.

The user image setting module 120 matches any image provided by the user terminals 10a to 10n with a word. The user image setting module 120 enables the learner to provide a desired image to the database 112 using the learning contents provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n. This will be described with reference to FIG. 5 together.

FIG. 5 illustrates a diagram for describing a method of registering a user-defined image using learning content.

In the drawing, the images (baby images) denoted by numbers 1, 2, and 3 represent images previously prepared in the database 112. In the drawing, the reference numeral "D" (My Image) is blanked so that the learner can insert the desired image. The learner clicks the area D indicated by the blank to call an image stored in the user terminal 10a to 10n used by the learner and upload the image to the database 112. The user image setting module 120 matches images provided at the user terminals 10a to 10n with words and stores them in the database 112. Accordingly, the learner may register an image of a word to be learned by the user image setting module 120, and the word image processing module 110 may provide the registered image to the learner. At this time, the word image processing module 110 combines the registered image with the word and provides it to the user terminals 10a to 10n only when the word corresponding to the registered image is the word to be learned. The associative image matching module 140 searches for and recalls an associative image (eg, reference numeral 7) from the database 112 that can associate the selected word with reference to the first letter of the word selected by the learner and processes the word image. Provided to module 110.

Figure 6 shows a block diagram of a language learning providing system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The illustrated embodiment is similar to that shown in FIG. 1, but has a feature of providing language learning through a display device of a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a personal media player (PMP), and a PDA. Therefore, the reference numerals for the word image processing module 110, the user image processing module 120, and the associative image matching module 140 described with reference to FIG. 1 are the same, and a redundant description will be omitted. The description of these members 110, 120, and 140 will apply mutatis mutandis to the description of FIG. 1.

In the drawing, when the user terminals 1a to 1n are connected to the language learning object providing system 200 through the mobile communication network 310, the resolution information obtaining module 210 of the language learning object providing system 200 is connected to the mobile communication network ( The server 300 is connected to the server 300 that operates 310 to request resolution information of the user terminals 1a to 1n connected to the language learning providing system 200. The user terminals 1a to 1n include display devices (normal LCDs) having various resolutions according to manufacturers and models, and the resolutions that can be expressed according to models differ. The resolution information acquisition module 210 acquires resolution information of the user terminals 1a to 1n connected to the language learning providing system 200 and provides the resolution information to the image processing module 220. The image processing module 220 sizes the image, associative image, and word size to be provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n according to the resolution information of the user terminals 1a to 1n, and then sizes the word image processing module. Provided by 110.

8 and 9 are diagrams for explaining a language learning method using a root of a word.

First, looking at Figure 8, it shows the association images for altar, altitude, alto sequentially from the left. Common to all three words is that the root is "alt", and the root "alt" has the concept of "high" or "high".

Next, referring to FIG. 9, association images of stations, statues, and statics are sequentially displayed from the left side. The three words also have something in common, including the root "stat", and the root "stat" has the concept of "still" or "static".

This is because roots included in the English language are expanded around a certain concept, and words including the roots have a characteristic that starts from the same concept, even if their meanings are different.

10 is a block diagram illustrating a system for providing a language learning product according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are applied to blocks having functions similar to those of the above-described FIGS. 1 and 6.

The illustrated language learning providing system includes a word image matching module 111, an associative image matching module 140, and a user image setting module 120.

The word image matching module 111 includes a word to be learned and a word image of an etymology included in the word to be learned, and combines the word and the word to be learned. The word image may be an exact match for the word, but it is not necessary to exactly match the meaning of the word if it is suitable to relate the word. For example, in FIG. 8, altitude refers to an altitude, an abstract concept, and the word image thereof is applied to an altimeter of an airplane. In addition, the word static shown in FIG. 9 has the meaning of "static" but there is no image matching. The figure presents a still life as a word image for the word "static". 8 and 9 show that images and words about altar, altitude, and alto are simply combined around the root "alt," but "alt" corresponding to the root of each letter constituting the target word is It can be made larger, bold or highlighted than other characters.

The user image setting module 120 matches any image provided by the user terminals 10a to 10n with a word. The user image setting module 120 enables the learner to provide a desired image to the database 112 using the learning contents provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n.

Meanwhile, the user image setting module 120 includes a ranking calculation module 121 and an image alignment module 122, and the ranking calculation module 121 displays an arbitrary image provided by each of the user terminals 10a to 10n. Displayed on the interface of the type shown in FIG. 5 (eg, reference numerals 1, 2, 3, and A of FIG. 5), each of which is referred to by an image recommended by a plurality of learners accessing the language learning providing system 100. The student assigns a ranking to the uploaded image, and the image alignment module 122 arranges and arranges the images according to the given ranking. The uploaded image is stored in the database 112. Accordingly, the learner can be induced to participate in the image generation, the learner finds or generates a good image for the word learning to provide to the language learning providing system 100, the other learner to learn using a better image Do it.

The associative image matching module 140 combines the associative image with the content generated by the word image matching module 111. The associative image is preferably one that best represents the concept of the root. If the root is "alt", the associative image shown in FIG. 7 may be applied, and the associative image shown in FIG. 7 may be disposed at the same position as the associative image 7 of FIG.

11 is a block diagram according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The illustrated embodiment is similar to that shown in FIG. 10, but has a feature of adding a stamping effect to an image provided to the learner, thereby allowing the learner to learn a word to be learned while unconscious. Therefore, the same reference numerals for members as those described with reference to FIG. 10 use the same reference numerals as those shown in FIG. 10, and descriptions of overlapping members will be omitted.

Imprinting effect mentioned in this embodiment is to insert the image associated with the word, or the text associated with the image to the learning content of the image form provided to the user terminal (10a ~ 10n), through which the learner unconsciously Learn to learn the words you need to learn. Generally, the image or text displayed for a short time between 0.1 and 0.5 seconds is not well recognized by the learner, but it is recognized in the unconscious state. The marking processing module 241 of the present embodiment inserts the marking frame for the marking effect into some frames of the video object provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n.

Imprint processing module 240,

1) When an image frame to be provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n is composed of an image, an imprinting frame composed of text is inserted.

2) When an image frame to be provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n is composed of text, an imprinting frame composed of an image is inserted.

The configuration of the stamp frame will be described with reference to FIG. 12 together.

12 shows a combined structure of an image frame and an imprint frame forming the word "apple".

As shown, the number of image frames reproduced per second in a display device (not shown) provided in the user terminals 10a to 10n amounts to approximately 30 frames. If the word to be studied is an apple and the image of the apple is provided to the user terminals 10a to 10n, the learner unconsciously makes an image unconscious (by inserting the text "apple" in one or several of 30 frames. Students can learn words about 1P, 2P, 3P ..., 30P).

Meanwhile, FIG. 12 illustrates that an image frame for an apple is composed of an apple image and a text word thereof. However, in the case of an image including a root such as the "station" image B shown in FIG. May be formed by selectively combining a root (eg, "stat"), a word including the root, a associative image about the root, and a word image. for example,

3) An image frame is composed of a "station" image (B), and an imprinted frame represents a station in text form.

4) The image frame consists of a station "image (B), and the imprinting frame represents a root (eg" stat ") in the form of an associative image or text.

5) The image frame is a text representation of the station (station), the imprinting frame represents an associative image, a word image, and a textual root.

Here, although the present embodiment has been described based on the marking processing module 240, the ranking calculation described through FIG. 10, and the method of aligning the image according to the calculated ranking are equally applied. This is to omit overlapping descriptions. In addition, the word image matching module 111, the user image setting module 120, and the associative image matching module 140 mentioned in FIG. 10 are equally applied. In the present embodiment, the learning effect of the learner may be further increased by using the imprinting effect, and the time for acquiring a word through the imprinted image or text may be shortened even if the learner is not aware.

Figure 13 shows a block diagram according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The illustrated embodiment represents an embodiment similar to that shown in FIG. 11, but with an emphasis on improving the response speed of the learner in response to the word. Therefore, the same reference numerals for members having the same functions as those described with reference to FIG. 11 apply, and overlapping descriptions are omitted.

Native English speakers typically recognize 150 to 180 words per minute. Expressed in speed, this means that the average response time for a word is 0.3 seconds. On the other hand, in the case of Koreans, after listening to an English word, the Korean meaning is determined, and the English word is judged in the order of associating the image with Korean. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the reaction rate for the English words, the reaction rate is preferably close to 0.3 seconds. The illustrated reaction training processing module 250 provides the interface shown in FIGS. 2, 5, and 12, and an image frame to the user terminals 10a to 10n, but the words displayed on the user terminals 10a to 10n. Measure the response speed to. To this end, the reaction training processing module 250 provides an interface screen as shown in FIG. 14 to the user terminals 10a to 10n, and the learner sees the displayed apple and responds to the image. Select the word apple. The response speed of the learner is preferably between 0.3 and 0.5 seconds.

A language learning product provided by the language learning providing system is a terminal (PC, notebook or the recording medium of a recording medium) recorded in a recording medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD, a memory stick, and the like. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be provided even for terminals not connected to a network such as a dedicated terminal for reproduction). In this case, the recording medium may have a form in which all functions and contents except for functions directly or indirectly related to communication (wired / wireless network communication) among functions provided by the language learning product providing system. That is, the database 112 including the language learning providing system, the word image processing module 110, the user image setting module 120, the word image matching module 111, the associative image matching module 140, Various function modules such as an image processing module 220 and an imprinting processing module 240 are included, and the order and manner in which they are operated is the operation of the various function modules when the user terminal is connected to the language learning providing system. It will be the same in order and manner.

As described above, the present invention provides a learner by associating a word, an associative image of a letter constituting a word, and an image of a word to a learner so that the word can be related to the feeling of a letter. In addition, the present invention is to create a flash or a video associative image to enable the learner to enhance the feeling for the character. In addition, the present invention provides the learner by combining the feeling of the letters constituting the word with the associative image corresponding to the feeling of the letter, and the image for the word, through which the meaning of the word can be associated with the letter. do. In addition, the present invention enhances the learner's participation in learning by allowing the learner to use the desired image in combination with the image provided in the language learning providing system. In addition, the present invention can further increase the learning effect on the word by inserting the stamping frame associated with the target word to the image frame provided to the user terminal, and let the learner touch.
