Description

Block programming system using card reader and block programming method using the same {BLOCK PROGRAMMING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BLOCK PROGRAMMING USING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a block programming system and a block programming method using the same, and more particularly, to provide a new interface capable of simplifying the input process and enhancing the output function even for a user with low computer ability in performing program education. A block programming system using a card reader and a block programming method using the same.

Conventionally, in programming for driving a robot, a method of producing a motion program through specialized software and downloading it to drive the robot was common. However, in the case of such specialized software, since the entry barrier is very high, it is difficult to produce a robot driving program through the software for non-professionals or especially for low age groups such as children.

On the other hand, in recent years, in particular, as a part of active education for children, learning to educate robots through simple production of programs that actually operate robots is becoming more common.

Accordingly, when considering such an educational situation, there is an increasing need for a relatively easily accessible robot driving program that allows low-age groups such as non-professionals and children to directly produce a program capable of driving a robot.

Accordingly, as in Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2016-0093794, a program for driving a robot is generated by recognizing a card key with a built-in resistance and a magnet, and a technology for driving the robot is being developed. Accordingly, it became possible to produce a program for easy robot operation.

However, if the robot production program is completed by simply transferring the information stored in the card, only simple motion listing is possible, and there is a limit to the production of a program that allows the user to more actively perform various commands. It is a situation that requires skill.

1 is a schematic diagram showing a block programming system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the block programming system of FIG. 1.

1 and 2, the block programming system 10 according to the present embodiment includes a card reader 100, a card unit 200, and an operating system 300, and further includes a robot 400. I can.

The card reader 100 includes a button unit 110 and transmits a command or information recognized by recognizing cards of the card unit 200 to the operating system 300.

The card unit 200 includes instructions or information, and may include an operation card 210, an operation card 220, a screen output card 230, and a robot output card 240.

However, as will be described later, the screen output card 230 may be replaced through a separate output command, and the robot output card 240 is a card only necessary to implement an operation through the robot 400.

The operation card 220 is a card that defines an individual operation of the robot 400, and each card may be configured to define each individual operation. Unlike this, one card defines a series of operations. It may be configured to do.

The operation card 220 may define all kinds of operations that the robot 400 can perform, and if different operations can be performed according to the type of the robot 400, the robot 400 It may be classified and provided as a matching operation card.

For example, the motion of the robot included in the motion card 220 may include forward, backward, and rotation of the robot, and if the arm or leg is individually operated, the motion such as arm raising and leg lifting It may also include.

The operation card 210 is a card that defines a parameter, and performs a logical operation such as a four rule operation, a code change, or a substitution. In addition, the calculation card 210 may be a card that defines'quantity' through numbers or the like.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 7 to be described later, when the operation card 220 recognizes the operation'moving' and the number '10' is recognized by the operation card 210, ultimately A series of motions called'move by 10' can be defined.

As described above, the operation card 220 and the operation card 210 may be sequentially recognized through the card reader 100, and a command recognized and defined in this way is transmitted to the operation system 300.

Meanwhile, the card reader 100 includes a button unit 110. The button unit 110 may be formed on the card reader 100 to protrude to the outside, or alternatively, may be formed on the card reader 100 through a separate input unit.

Through the button unit 110, the user can input a required command, and at this time, the inputable command may be deletion, stop, or execution. In addition, the input command is transmitted to the operating system 300 together with the recognition result of the card unit 200.

As described above, individual operation commands are recognized through cards included in the card unit 200, and the corresponding operation commands may be implemented as a series of operation logic.

That is, through a series of recognition of the operation card 220 and the operation card 210, a series of operation logic of'forward' + '10 steps' + '5 steps' +'rotation' + '20 steps' It may be implemented. In this series of operation logic, a command of deletion, stop, or execution may be executed through the button unit 110 for each individual operation logic.

For example, in the process of recognizing the above series of operation logic one by one, if the user executes the delete command only for '5 steps' and executes the execution command for other individual operation logic, ultimately A series of operation logic of'forward' + '10 steps' +'rotation' + '20 steps' can be implemented.

In addition, when a stop command is input to an arbitrary individual operation logic through the button unit 110, a situation in which the operation is not performed and is stopped in the corresponding operation may be implemented.

As described above, the user deletes the corresponding logic for an individual step of the operation logic recognized and formed through the card reader 100 through a command of deletion, stop, or execution of the button unit 110, or Since the defined operation can be stopped or controlled to execute the operation defined by the corresponding logic, immediate control of the operation is possible, and further, the composition of the program can be diversified by modifying the predefined operation logic. .

The operating system 300 receives information on the command recognized through the card unit 200, and at the same time receives input contents for the user’s command provided through the button unit 110 at the same time. The operation logic is formed and it is determined whether or not to execute the formed operation logic.

In this case, the operating system 300 receives information on the corresponding command through a communication method such as wired communication, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi with the card reader 100.

That is, the operation or operation contents of the individual cards recognized through the card unit 200 are sequentially transmitted to form a series of operation logic. However, for the individual operation logics constituting the operation logic, by receiving additional input contents from the button unit 110 regarding whether to perform the corresponding operation logic, the individual operation logic of the series of operation logics It judges whether or not to perform the program, and completes a series of programs.

On the other hand, through the button unit 110, it has been described that a user command of stop, execution, or deletion is input for each operation logic. However, according to an embodiment, even if a separate execution command is not input, each operation logic is It may be pre-set to be performed, and may be pre-set to input a user command for stopping, executing, or deleting the entire series of operation logic through the button unit 110.

The operating system 300 includes a display unit 310.

That is, the operating system 300 may display the formed series of operation logic to the outside through a separate display unit 310.

In this case, if the screen output card 230 described above is recognized through the card reader 100, the operating system 300 displays the formed series of operation logic to the outside through the display unit 310. do.

Thus, even in a situation in which a series of operation logic is not implemented through a separate robot, it is possible to check how the series of operation logic is performed through the virtual robot through the display unit 310.

Of course, by including an input unit through which a separate output command can be input by the operating system 300 without commanding the display on the display unit 310 through the screen output card 230, the display unit 310 Display may be performed.

Further, the series of operation logics can be displayed all at once. Unlike this, when an output command is executed through the input unit in a state in which an arbitrary operation logic among the operation logics is selected, only the selected operation logic is It may be displayed through the display unit 310.

Meanwhile, as described above, the card unit 200 may include a robot output card 240, and the robot output card 240 may be recognized through the card reader 100.

In this way, when the robot output card 240 is recognized through the card reader 100, corresponding information is provided through the operating system 300, thereby operating the robot 400.

In this case, the operation of the robot 400 is performed based on a series of operation logic implemented through the operating system 300, and accordingly, the virtual robot simply performs the operation logic through the display unit 310. Unlike that, a series of operations are actually performed through the robot 400.

Hereinafter, a block programming method using the block programming system 10 will be described.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating steps of card recognition and button input in the block programming method using the block programming system of FIG. 2.

First, referring to FIG. 3, in the block programming method, the card of the card unit 200 is recognized through the card reader 100 (step S100), and the button unit 110 of the card reader 100 Through the user's input is provided (step S200).

In this case, as described above, the card is recognized and the user's input for the card can be provided, and on the contrary, the user's input for a series of actions can be provided after the series of cards are recognized. .

Thus, when the card recognition and the button input are finished, the output processing program is operated (step S300). That is, the recognized contents of the card unit are transmitted to form an operation logic, and based on the input of the button unit, it is determined whether or not the formed operation logic is executed, and a required operation is displayed or performed through a robot.

Each step of the card recognition step (step S100), the button input step (step S200), and the output processing program operation step (step S300) will be described in detail as follows.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a card recognition step of FIG. 3.

Referring to FIG. 4, in the case of the card recognition step (step S100), first, when a card is input through the card reader 100 (step S110), the recognized card is compared with a table (step S120).

At this time, the table is reference information for determining whether the card is normal, and information on the card that can be recognized through the card reader 100 or an operation logic that can be implemented through the operating system 300 Based on the information on the card, it is determined whether the card is normal.

Thus, if the recognized card contains abnormal, that is, unknown data, the card reader 100 notifies the error to the outside (step S130), and ends the procedure.

On the other hand, if the recognized card is normal, the card reader 100 outputs the normal recognition state to the outside (step S140), and transmits the data contained in the recognized card to the operating system 300 To (step S150).

5 is a flowchart illustrating a button input step of FIG. 3.

5, in the case of the button input step (step S200), first, when a user's command is input through the button unit 110 of the card reader 100 (step S210), the input command is displayed in a table. Compare with (step S220).

In this case, the table is a table different from the table for determining whether the card is normal, and may be referred to as reference information for determining whether the user's input is normal.

Thus, if the user's input is normal, the user's input is recognized and a command to delete, execute or stop each of the individual operation logics is transmitted (steps S230, S240, and S250).

That is, if the user's input is a deletion input, the individual operation logic of the card recognized through the card reader 100 is deleted (step S230), and if the user's input is an execution input, the individual operation logic is Execution is performed (step S240), and if the user's input is a stop input, a stop is performed for the individual operation logic (step S250).

In this case, as described above, deletion, execution or stop input for each individual operation logic is also possible, but deletion, execution or stop of the entire series of operation logic, and further deletion, execution or stop of a predetermined operation logic is possible. It is possible.

Meanwhile, when the operation logic is deleted, executed, or stopped, necessary information may be output to the outside through a sound matching the operation (step S260).

6 is a detailed flowchart illustrating the block programming method of FIG. 3. 7 is an image showing a screen on which the block programming system of FIG. 1 is implemented.

6 and 7, in the block programming method, first, as described above, it is determined whether a card recognized through the card reader or a user's command input through the button unit is normal (step S120, S220).

In addition, it is determined whether the user's command input through the button unit is executed, stopped, or deleted (steps S230, S240, and S250).

Thus, if the recognized card is normal and the input command is determined to be an execution command, the data is transmitted to the operating system 300.

Accordingly, in the operating system 300, a series of operation logic is formed based on a series of operations and operations recognized through the card reader 100 (step S310).

Meanwhile, in the case of the formed series of operation logic, when the screen output card 23 is recognized through the card reader 100 or a separate output command is input, the series of operation logic is performed by the operating system 300 ) Through the display unit 310 to the outside is implemented and displayed a series of operations (step S320).

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the operating system 300 can display a situation in which the series of operations are implemented through the display unit 310 configured as a separate window.

In addition, when the robot output card 240 commanding the operation of the robot 400 is recognized through the card reader 100 (step S330), the operating system 300 communicates with the robot 400. To do this, a robot communication packet is generated based on the series of operation logic (step S340).

Thus, when the robot 400 and the operating system 300 are connected to each other (step S350), the robot 400 operates based on the series of operation logic (step S360).

According to the embodiments of the present invention as described above, a series of operation logic can be formed by recognizing an operation card defining an individual operation and an operation card performing a parameter for the corresponding operation. It is possible to immediately cancel or execute the operation of the corresponding identification card, so that immediate program modification and change can be performed. Unlike programming that simply provides commands recognized on the card in a list, the user Since it is possible to select and configure programming within a certain range, learning about the configuration of programming can be performed.

In other words, it is possible to immediately cancel the operation or operation command of the card already recognized through the button part, so that the function of modifying and changing the program is reinforced. Since can be performed through the button unit, a stable robot motion program can be implemented.

In particular, in the case of the completed operation logic, if necessary, the robot output card that performs output through the robot may be additionally recognized to perform the operation of the robot. Alternatively, the corresponding operation may be performed simply through a display provided by the operating system. Since the contents operated by logic may be displayed, the user can implement the operation of the robot after first checking the operation according to the programming configured by himself through the display unit, thereby preventing unnecessary or impossible operation of the robot.

Although the above has been described with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art will be able to variously modify and change the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the following claims. You will understand that you can.
