Description

{Learning System for Chunking Exercise}

The present invention relates to a learning system, and more particularly, to a learning system for chunking training capable of improving learning efficiency.

In addition to the opening of education, kinds of learning materials and language classes to improve the learning efficiency are being developed continuously. Especially, among the general people, interest in language learning is very high, and the craving for language education for children is not disappearing.

The use of simple textbooks for foreign language learning is not easy to induce the interest and interest of learners, and often leads to simple word or sentence memorization. There are many textbooks that receive voice support on the premise that language is the basic means of communication, but it is not easy for learners to be interested because it is a one-sided education system. In order to improve the learning efficiency of the language, a language term in which the contents of the audio can be repeated in a specific section has appeared. However, in order to operate such a language term, a lot of manual operation of the learner is required, which is not only cumbersome but also hinders the learner from concentrating on learning. In addition, the interval repetition function is performed a predetermined number of times at the same speed, and a time delay is inevitable for listening to a specific section while listening to another section. This makes it difficult to consider the difference between the learner 's learning ability and momentary concentration, and the time delay of the interval repetition function degrades the learner' s concentration.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a learning system that can induce an interest of a learner, which has been devised to overcome the above-described problems of the prior art and the necessity of developing the technology.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a learning system capable of improving learner's concentration by improving troublesome operation.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a learning system capable of selecting and listening to a section by a simple operation and performing a listening learning by moving the section without delay.

In order to accomplish the above object, a learning system for chunking training according to the present invention includes a learning material in which a code value unique to a character or an image is printed; A scanner for scanning a code value, the scanner having an image decoder for converting an image of a code value into an image digital signal; And a main body for storing an audio digital signal and outputting an audio digital signal corresponding to the video digital signal received from the scanner to a sound source.

The code value formed in the character or image of the text may be printed with a material containing 20% to 40% of carbon.

The textbook may be a language learning textbook constituting a sentence by arranging a plurality of word groups in which a plurality of words are arranged.

The scanner includes a tubular housing having a light incidence part formed at one end thereof; An imaging element for imaging light incident through a light incidence portion; A lens portion for focusing the light incident through the light incidence portion to the imaging element; And an image decoder for converting the image data obtained by imaging on the image pickup device into an image digital signal.

The scanner may further include an illumination unit disposed on an inner wall of the housing on one side of the image pickup device for irradiating light to the outside through the light incidence unit.

The main body includes a speaker formed on one side of the outside; A slot for insertion of a tone generator storage for storing a voice digital signal; A central processing unit for detecting an audio digital signal corresponding to the video digital signal and transmitting the audio digital signal to the speaker; And a power control unit for controlling operations of the central processing unit and the speaker.

The central processing unit includes a receiving unit for receiving the image digital signal; A detector for inquiring an audio digital signal corresponding to an image digital signal; And a voice decoder for converting the voice digital signal into a sound source and transmitting the sound source.

As described above, the learning system according to the present invention can enhance the learner's interest and concentration because the user can listen to the speech with a simple operation while concentrating his gaze on the teaching material.

Although the terms used in the present invention have been selected as general terms that are widely used at present, there are some terms selected arbitrarily by the applicant in a specific case. In this case, the meaning described or used in the detailed description part of the invention The meaning must be grasped.

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

1 is a diagram showing a learning system for chunking training according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a learning system for chunking training according to the present invention includes a learning material 100 in which a code value is printed on a character or an image, a scanner 300 for scanning a code value, And a main body 200 for outputting a sound source according to the code value.

The teaching material 100 may be a teaching material containing letters or images. For example, the textbook 100 may be a textbook for language learning. As shown in FIG. 2, a unique code value 120 may additionally be printed on the text 130 or image printed on the teaching material 100. The code value 120 is a unique value corresponding to the character 130 or the image and is for recognizing the character 130 or the image in order to output the corresponding character 130 or image by voice.

This code value 120 may be printed before printing the character 130 and may be printed after printing the character 130. [ And the code value 120 may be printed with ink containing carbon. If the content of carbon in the ink is high, the reflectance of light is lowered, and accordingly, the darkness and darkness of the image detected by the scanner 300 becomes clear, so that the recognition rate can be increased. On the other hand, if the content of carbon is high, it may cause a visual inconvenience due to the difference in contrast between the code value 120 and the characters 130 printed on the paper. Taking this into consideration, the content of carbon can be set so as to be 20% to 40% of the ink for printing the code value 120.

The textbook 100 may be a language learning textbook constituting a sentence by arranging a plurality of word groups in which a plurality of words are arranged. That is, the textbook 100 may be composed of sentences composed of an array of word groups in units of chunks.

The language is a series of chunks of chunks of sounds that have a single meaning. A chunk is a bundle of individual units. In language, a chunk is a bundle of vocabulary that represents a single meaning. A chunk usually consists of three to five words. And chunking verbal acts (speaking, listening, writing, reading) that understand sentences in chunks. How to increase fluency in a foreign language, especially in English, depends on how quickly you can hear and understand the words or vocabulary quickly heard. In other words, in order to speed up the understanding of foreign languages, it is effective to expand the unit to understand and accept at once, and to increase the recognition speed of the expanded chunk unit. For example, a sentence in a foreign language that can not be heard even by increasing the time interval between chunk units in a sentence can be heard immediately. Furthermore, it is possible to greatly improve the effectiveness of language learning by repeated exposure to a foreign language in chunks and by patterning the time interval between chunks.

To this end, the teaching material of the learning system according to the present invention may include a group of words or phrases having a specific meaning sequentially, and words or phrases within the group may be combined with words or phrases of other groups to form a sentence . 4, the teaching material 100 is an array of chunks C1, C2, and C3 consisting of chunks C11, C21, C22, C23, C31, and C32, Lt; / RTI > At this time, each of the chunks included in the first to third chunk groups C1, C2, and C3 may be combined with the chunks of adjacent chunk groups to form a sentence. Therefore, the chunks of the chunk groups of the first box 102 shown in FIG. 4 are C11-C21-C31, C11-C21-C32, C11-C22-C31, C11-C22-C32, C11-C23- C23-C32, etc., can be combined to form a total of six sentences.

In this textbook, a unique code value can be assigned to each of the chunks C11, C21, C22, C23, C31, and C32. In addition, as described above, the sentence code values S1 to S6 corresponding to the sentence composed of the combination of the chunks may be additionally printed. These code values can be formed on one side of a particular character or phrase in a sentence. That is, a code value corresponding to a chunk unit syntax may be formed in a mark in which a code value for sound source reproduction is printed as in the case of the sentence code values C1 and C2.

Since the textbook 102 according to the present invention assigns code values in units of chunks C11, C21, C22, C23, C31 and C32, the learner easily learns the meaning of the chunk unit by a simple operation using the scanner . That is, the desired chunks C11, C21, C22, C23, C31, and C32 can be repeated a desired number of times without cumbersome operation, and the repeated intervals can be instantaneously adjusted. In addition, since the learners can combine the chunks of the chunk groups C1, C2, and C3 in various ways as described above, it is possible to induce interest in learning and learn a large number of sentences.

5 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of the scanner 300 for recognizing the code value 120 of the teaching material 100. As shown in FIG.

5, the scanner 300 may include an image pickup device 320 and a lens unit 330, and may include an image decoder 350 in the housing 310. FIG.

At one end of the housing 310, a light incidence part 312 is formed. The light incidence unit 312 is a path through which the image of the code value 120 is incident. That is, the reflected light reflected by the text material 100 in which the code value 120 is formed enters the inside of the scanner 300 through the light incidence part 312. The light incidence portion 312 may be an opening or may be formed in a manner that the scanner 300 is sealed using a material that can transmit light for carrying in foreign matter and protecting the inside of the scanner 300.

The reflected light entering the inside of the scanner 300 via the light incidence portion 312 is imaged on the imaging element 320 as described above. The lens unit 330 may be formed between the light incident portion 312 and the image pickup device 320 to adjust the focus of the reflected light on the image pickup device 320.

The image pickup device 320 is for detecting a reflected light image and can be configured using a charge-coupled device (CCD).

The image data of the reflected light image formed on the image pickup device 320 can be converted into a digital code using the image decoder 350. [ That is, the video decoder 350 can convert the video image into an image digital signal. The image digital signal thus changed can be transmitted to the main body 200 along the signal line 360. That is, the signal line 360 may extend to be connected to the main body 200 within the cable 390.

The end of the cable 390 that contacts the scanner 300 may be formed with a connection portion 370 of an insulating material having a groove formed thereon to prevent twisting.

The illumination unit 340 may be disposed on the inner wall of the housing. The illuminating unit 340 can increase the intensity of the reflected light by irradiating the text 100 with light when the external illuminance is low.

The main body 200 may be configured such that a speaker 230 and a power control unit 250 are formed outside and a central processing unit is included therein. The main body 200 outputs audio digital signals corresponding to the video digital signals received from the scanner 300 to the sound sources. For this purpose, the main body 200 can be connected to the scanner 300 using a cable 390.

The power control unit 250 controls the operation of the speaker 230 that outputs the sound source, and the volume control unit 240 can adjust the volume of the speaker 230.

As shown in FIG. 6, the central processing unit may include a receiving unit 222 for receiving an image digital signal, a detecting unit 224 for inquiring a sound source, and a voice decoder 226 for reproducing sound sources. The central processing unit 220 may be implemented using a central processing unit (CPU).

The receiving unit 222 receives the image digital signal from the scanner 300. That is, the receiving unit 222 receives the image digital signal read by the image pickup device 320 of the scanner 300 and converted by the image decoder 350. The image digital signal received by the receiving unit 222 is transmitted to the detecting unit 224 and the detecting unit 224 detects an audio digital signal corresponding to the image digital signal from the sound source storing unit 210.

The sound source storage unit 210 may store a voice digital signal. The audio digital signal can be stored in a music file format such as MP3. The sound source stored in the sound source storage unit 210 is for outputting the content corresponding to the code value 120 by voice. That is, the sound source storage unit 210 stores a sound source corresponding to a character or an image to which the code value 120 is printed. The sound source storage unit 210 may be implemented in a memory card format. The main body 200 may include a slot 270 into which the sound source storage unit 210 of the memory card type can be inserted.

The voice decoder 226 is for reproducing the voice digital signal of the sound source storage unit 210 detected by the detecting unit 224 as a sound source.

The sound source reproduced by the speech decoder 226 corresponds to the code value 120, and may be a phrase in chunky unit or a sentence in the textbook 100.

As described above, according to the learning system of the present invention, exposure to a foreign language is repeated in a chunk unit, and the time interval between chunk units can be adjusted, so that the effect of language learning can be greatly improved.

In the learning system according to the present invention, the section can be repeated only by a simple operation of touching or approaching the scanner to the chunk unit syntax, and various syntaxes can be immediately heard. This allows the learner to focus more on learning because it has a much faster response rate than traditional language learning machines that require a lot of manual work to do the work. In particular, the learning system of the present invention is configured to control the time interval and the number of repetitions of listening in accordance with the learner's intention in the process of listening to the phrase of the chunk unit. Therefore, the learners can perform learning effectively because the learners can learn the learning process according to the learner's ability and concentration of the moment.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken in conjunction with the present invention. Changes and modifications will be possible.
