9, the user accesses the server 210 (S110) and selects a registration window provided by the information register 213 (S120).

Then, the electronic tag in the unregistered state is read to the reader unit 510 of the learner 500 (S130) to transmit the code information. At this time, the read code information is displayed on the display unit 530 by the microprocessor 520 (S140).

Next, the object corresponding to the code information of the tag, that is, the information of the object to which the tag is attached is selected (S150). At this time, the information of the thing is possible to select a language, such as English, Japanese, Chinese, Russian (S160), level selection is possible according to the user type, that is, infants, elementary school students, middle school students, high school students, college students, the general public (S170). Here, in the case of level 1, the service is provided in the form of reading only words, and as the level goes up, a longer and specific sentence language is spoken. In addition, by providing identity to things, they provide language content in such a way that things can talk like a living person. For example, if you provide your watch with your identity, your watch will talk to you from the morning greetings. This will make the user fun and interesting, and if they are aware or memorized, they can choose different types or levels, or even tag or replace tags with other objects to learn different language sentences.

When the setting is completed, the information registration unit 213 stores the information of the thing corresponding to the code information of the electronic tag 400 in the code information database. And electronic tags can be updated as needed, so you can study foreign languages by changing the level or attaching them to other objects.

In the present invention, the electronic tag is attached to an object in an environment where the user frequently dwells or lives. For example, the electronic tag is directly attached to an electronic tag where necessary, such as a porch, a shoe rack, a mirror, a clock, and the like. Set the language information by associating the code or serial number with the thing. Then, when the learner is near or near the object, the language corresponding to the electronic tag information is heard and displayed according to the set value, so that the foreign language can be easily learned.

And if necessary, you can learn English and Japanese sequentially so that you can learn two foreign languages at the same time. This is done by setting two addresses of language information corresponding to the code information of the electronic tag.

It can also be a very useful learning tool for children who learn their own language.

The embodiments of the present invention described above are not only implemented by the apparatus and method but may be implemented through a program for realizing the function corresponding to the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention or a recording medium on which the program is recorded, The embodiments can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art from the description of the embodiments described above.
