Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail.

Learning Emoticons (200)

Learning emoticons according to the present invention is configured by combining data for language learning with emoticon data.

The emoticon data consists of emoticon image data consisting of contents to be transmitted through emoticons. For example, it may be composed of design data such as characters, pictures, letters, figures, etc. representing the user's state, mood, emotion, and the like.

In the case of static learning emoticons, data for language learning is combined with one emoticon image data, and in the case of dynamic learning emoticons, data for language learning is combined with data for multiple emoticons for making movements. In the case of an emoticon for voice learning, it is composed by combining voice data and data for language learning with emoticon image data. In the case of an emoticon for vibration learning, data representing a control signal that controls the vibration element (eg, a vibration motor) of the terminal device and for language learning It is constructed by combining data.

The language learning data may include any one or more of one or more word data for learning a foreign language, one or more conversation data, one or more idiom data, or one or more grammar data. For example, an emoticon for learning can be configured by combining conversation data with a speech bubble of an emoticon. In this case, it is possible to compose an emoticon for learning by further combining words suitable for a background image or an action. Similarly, idioms, grammar, and other content to be learned can be naturally combined with emoticon image data to compose an emoticon for learning.

The data for language learning may be composed of data of one or more foreign languages to be learned. For example, one or more foreign languages among foreign languages, such as English, Japanese, Chinese, German, French, German, Russian, and Italian, may be simultaneously or sequentially displayed so that one or more foreign languages can be simultaneously acquired. In this case, phonetic symbols representing foreign language pronunciations may be combined together to form a structure.

It is preferable that the data for language learning includes data of one or more foreign languages to be learned and data of a mother language representing the data. In this case, the number and order of expression of foreign language data and native language data may be configured differently. For example, if the foreign language you want to learn is English, your mother tongue is Korean, and you want to display English data three times and Korean data once while one learning emoticon is running, “English -> Korean -> English -> English” can be configured in the same way. Since native language data is easy to recognize and remember, it is possible to configure fewer expressions than foreign language data.

When configuring the emoticon for learning by combining the data for language learning with the emoticon data, it is preferable to combine the voice data (pronunciation data) for the foreign language together. For example, it is possible to configure voice data (pronunciation data) of a foreign language and voice data (pronunciation data) of a native language to be displayed simultaneously or sequentially, or only one of them with a different number of times of expression. In addition, a specific background sound or sound effect may be further combined to represent foreign language voice data, native language voice data, and the like.

Data for language learning may be configured differently for each topic, group, conversation partner, and purpose. For example, if you use 10 words to compose one learning emoticon (static learning emoticon, or dynamic learning emoticon, or voice learning emoticon, or vibration learning emoticon), you can configure it to have a specific topic when selecting the word. .

The language learning data may be configured such that the language learning data coupled to two or more learning emoticons form a learning range of a certain range for each topic, group, conversation partner, and purpose. For example, it may have a subject or purpose such as an elementary school English course, a middle school Japanese course, a high school Chinese course, a university German course, a business conversation expression range, a foreign language conversation range for travel, and a daily conversation expression range.

For reference, in the case of KakaoTalk, 33 emoticons for static emoticons, 24 emoticons for dynamic emoticons, and 24 emoticons for voice emoticons are bundled and sold at a specific price.

There are about 200 essential English words for elementary school.

Therefore, if you combine each learning emoticon so that about 10 words are combined into one learning emoticon, you can make a learning emoticon that can learn elementary school words by combining 24 learning emoticons with 10 words combined. can

As another example, if each learning emoticon is configured by combining about 3 words in one learning emoticon, use a learning emoticon that can learn elementary school words in 3 sets of 24 learning emoticons as a bundle. configurable. Data for learning other languages, such as conversations, idioms, and grammar, can be configured in the same way. Learning emoticons for other topics, purposes, and learning ranges can be configured similarly.

When expressing language learning data combined with learning emoticons, you can make the language learning data blink at regular time intervals to induce concentration and improve learning effects, or use parentheses to compose learning emoticons.

For example, in the case of composing a moving voice learning emoticon, when voice data is output, concentration can be induced by causing words or text data representing conversations to blink at regular intervals. Alternatively, it can be configured to improve the learning effect by using parentheses, etc. to cover a specific part.

Data for language learning may be configured by further combining advertisement data. For example, advertisement data may be combined with the background screen of the emoticon for learning, or advertisement data may be combined with a character's motion, clothes, and props to be worn to create a natural advertisement.

The learning emoticon may further include data for learning Chinese characters that can learn Chinese characters when combining data for language learning and emoticon data.

The data for learning Chinese characters includes data indicating the number of Chinese characters, form, meaning, sound, stroke order, writing process, etc., and synonyms, antonyms, related words, thousand characters, idioms, common Chinese characters, etc. It may be configured to include any one or more of the indicated data.

For example, the background image of the learning emoticon or the movement of the character, etc., the number of Chinese characters, form, meaning, sound, stroke order, writing process, synonyms, antonyms, related words, Chinese character construction principles (six books) (六書): Data (pictures, symbols, letters, numbers, etc.) You can configure emoticons for learning by further combining them.

The learning emoticon may be configured to be displayed on the initial screen in the case of a locked screen of the terminal device. For example, through the message display setting function of the terminal device, it is possible to configure the learning emoticon to be displayed even in a locked screen state so that learning is performed. Similarly, it can be configured to be displayed on the screen being used or other screens.

Hereinafter, the configuration, operation, and effect of the present embodiment will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 8 , a learning emoticon generation step ( S110 ) is performed to create one or more learning emoticons in which emoticon data and learning data are combined. That is, emoticon image data, foreign language learning data, voice data, native language data, etc. are combined to create emoticons for learning.

This will be described in detail again as follows.

In the present embodiment, the emoticon image data 220 consists of performing an action to speak while a box is opened and a nurse character appears, lifts a tool, and after creating image data of each frame performing such an action, this By combining the data for language learning with each image data, a moving voice learning emoticon is created.

This process is described in detail as follows.

First, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6 , each image data to be used as each frame constituting a motion in which a nurse character appears from a box and speaks while lifting a tool is created.

Figure 6 (a) to (w) is composed of 23 image data (frames) in which the box is opened and the nurse character appears and raises the tool and speaks, and from (a) to (h) the box shakes, The process of moving the lid is shown with 8 image data, (i) to (n) are the process of opening the lid of the box and the nurse character appears with 6 image data, and (o) to (w) are this The process of a nurse character raising a tool (spanner) and speaking humorously is represented by 9 image data.

Time is set for each of the image data ((a) to (w)). For example, in (a) 0.1 second, (b) 0.1 second, (c) 0.1 second, (d) 0.1 second, (e) 0.1 second, (f) 0.1 second, (g) 0.1 sec, (h) 0.1 sec, (i) 0.1 sec, (j) 0.1 sec, (k) 0.1 sec, (l) 0.1 sec, (m) 0.1 sec, (n) 0.2 sec, (o) 0.1 sec, (p) 0.1 sec, (q) 0.1 sec, (r) 0.1 sec, (s) 0.1 sec, (t) 0.1 sec, (u) 0.2 sec , 0.1 sec is set for (v), and 0.3 sec is set for (w).

The data for language learning is combined with each of the image data ((a) to (w)).

The image data of (a) to (d) is combined with language learning data called “box” 214 that points to a box, and language learning data called “box” 214a is combined with the image data of (e) and (f). combine, and combine the language learning data called “box” to the image data of (g) and (h), and add the language learning data called “hat” (213) that points to the hat to the image data of (k) to (m). In the image data of (n), data for language learning called “hat” 213a is combined, and in the image data of (o) to (q), “orange” (212) indicating the orange color of the tool (spanner) ) is combined with the language learning data of (r), the language learning data of “orange” (212a) is combined with the image data of (r), and “May I help you?” (211) with the image data of (q) to (u). ) is combined according to each image data, and the image data of (v) and (w) is combined with the language learning data of “Can you help?” (211a). As shown in the image data of (o) and (q) to (w), two or more of the data for language learning may be displayed in one image data.

7 is a diagram illustrating a state of combining voice data.

In this embodiment, when the operation of the learning emoticon 200 is executed once, the voice data composed of the foreign language (English) pronunciation is executed once, so “May I help you?”, “box”, “hat”, After recording the pronunciation of “orange” to create voice data, it is combined with appropriate positions in each image data. In this embodiment, pronunciation data for a foreign language is not used, but pronunciation data for a foreign language, so only voice data for a foreign language is created.

In Fig. 7, audio data 214c of “box” is combined with (a) image data, etc., audio data 213c of “hat” is combined with (k) image data, etc., and audio data 212c of “orange” is combined. ) indicates that (o) is combined with image data, etc., and the voice data 211c of “May I help you?” is combined with (s) image data, etc., respectively.

In this case, the main learning contents among the voice data may be configured by increasing the volume, and the additional learning contents may be configured by decreasing the volume. For example, if a word is output in a small sound and a conversation is output in a loud voice, the voice data of “box”, “hat”, and “orange” is configured to be a small sound, and “May I help you” The voice data of “?” can be configured to be loud. Then, the main learning content can be heard louder and the learning effect can be increased, and of course, it can cause interest.

After combining the training data and voice data with each image data, it is made into a video to make a learning emoticon. That is, using video and video programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Movie Maker, Power Director, and GOM Mix, each image data combined with learning data and audio data are combined to create a moving voice learning emoticon.

After the learning emoticon creation step (S110) is performed to create the learning emoticon 200, an upload step (S120) of transmitting it to the server is performed.

That is, the emoticon for learning generated by performing the step of generating the emoticon for learning ( S110 ) is transmitted to the emoticon market and registered, so that the terminal device user can download and use it.

After performing the uploading step (S120), an installation step (S130) of downloading and installing the learning emoticon to the terminal device according to the user's selection is performed.

That is, the terminal device user selects and downloads a desired emoticon from among various learning emoticons registered in the market, and installs the selected emoticon on the user's terminal device. (In this embodiment, one learning emoticon is described, but in reality, several learning emoticons are bundled (eg, in the case of KakaoTalk, 33 static learning emoticons, 24 dynamic learning emoticons, and 24 voice learning emoticons) b) The above process can be done.)

After performing the installation step (S130), a selective transmission step (S140) is performed to transmit information on the learning emoticon selected by the user.
