Description

Content playback device and method for providing a content replay function

The present invention relates to a content reproducing apparatus and method for providing a content replay function.

A barcode reader is a representative device, and the barcode reader reads barcodes printed on a print medium and then outputs data corresponding to the barcodes to a display device or the like.

Recently, a number of electronic pens have been developed that recognize specific codes printed on publications such as books and output voices corresponding to these codes.

Such an electronic pen includes a code recognizing device, reads a specific code printed on a publication such as a book, and reproduces a voice corresponding to the code through a speaker or the like.

Normally, only visual information such as text and images are printed on publications such as books to provide only visual information to readers. Using such an electronic pen, audio content as well as visual information can be provided, thereby providing the reader's user experience. This has a strengthening effect.

In particular, when visual information included in a publication is foreign language text, there are cases in which voice content such as pronunciation, translation, and interpretation is more useful than visual information. In this case, since the electronic pen can provide foreign language text, foreign language voice, translation voice, etc., the reader's response rate is higher.

In a system using such a conventional electronic pen, when the electronic pen recognizes a code corresponding to visual information in a publication, the electronic pen reproduces voice content corresponding to visual information on a one-time basis.

Therefore, conventionally, in order for a user to repeatedly listen to audio content of foreign language text included in a publication, it is inconvenient for a user to repeatedly perform an operation of contacting an electronic pen to a portion where foreign language text is printed.

In addition, since the conventional electronic pen simply outputs audio content corresponding to visual information and cannot provide games to arouse learners' interest, it is difficult to arouse user's interest in the electronic pen, which is a content reproducing device. There were some deficiencies.

1 is a configuration diagram of a content reproducing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the content playback device 100 may include a code recognition unit 110 , a memory unit 120 , a control unit 130 , a content playback unit 140 and a power supply unit 150 . Also, the content reproducing apparatus 100 may further include a recording unit 210 as shown in FIG. 2 .

Here, the power supply unit 150 may be a rechargeable battery that supplies power to the content reproducing apparatus 100 .

The code recognition unit 110 may recognize a dot code, which is a fine dot pattern printed on the control board 400 to be described later. In one embodiment, recognizing the dot code may mean that the code recognition unit 110 optically recognizes the dot code and converts it into code data, which is digital information. The code recognition unit 110 may include an optical recognition sensor (OID: Optical ID).

Here, the dot code is a code printed as an almost invisible dot on the surface of a print medium made of a material such as paper or plastic, that is, a code implemented as a fine dot pattern as shown in FIG. 3, and each different code has a different dot pattern can be implemented as

These dot codes may be printed overlapping with a plurality of objects printed on the function selection card 400 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and may be overlapped with a plurality of visual information printed on a publication 600 as shown in FIG. It can be printed loosely. Here, the visual information of the publication 600 may be text information or image information of the publication 600 . When the publication 600 is an English word learning textbook as shown in FIG. 6 , text information of the publication 600 may be English words, and image information may be pictures or illustrations expressing English words.

Meanwhile, the code recognition unit 110 may be disposed on a part of the main body constituting the exterior of the content reproducing apparatus 100 .

For example, when the external appearance of the content reproducing apparatus 100 is a pen shape as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 , the code recognition unit 110 may be disposed at a portion corresponding to a pen tip.

As described above, the code recognition unit 110 disposed on a part of the main body of the content reproducing apparatus 100 can recognize the dot code selected by the device user from the function selection card 400 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and The dot code selected by the device user can be recognized from the publication 600 on which the dot code is printed. Here, FIG. 4 may be one side of the function selection card 400, and FIG. 5 may be the other side of the function selection card 400.

Specifically, the code recognition unit 110 generates a dot code form from an object indicating a one-repeated play rule (eg, “select ten and then listen continuously” in FIG. 4 ) in the function selection card 400 as shown in FIG. 4 . One repeat play rule code of can be recognized.

Here, the function selection card 400 is used to select various functions of the content reproducing apparatus 100, such as a repeat reproduction function of the contents reproducing apparatus 100 for audio contents corresponding to visual information of one publication 600. As a card, a plurality of repeated reproduction rule objects and a plurality of repeated reproduction rule codes, which are dot codes assigned to the plurality of repeated reproduction rule objects, can be printed.

The plurality of repetition play rule objects printed on the function selection card 400 may include one or more of text and images for explaining the plurality of repetition play rules as shown in FIG. 4 .

The code recognition unit 110 may recognize one or more visual information codes from one or more visual information printed on one publication 600 after recognizing one repetition rule code in the function selection card 400 as described above. Here, one or more visual information codes refer to dot codes assigned to one or more visual information.

In one embodiment, when the repeat play rule corresponding to one repeat play rule code is the repeat play rule for one voice content, the code recognition unit 110 determines one copy corresponding to one voice content in one publication 600. can recognize the visual information code of

Further, when the repeat play rule corresponding to one repeat play rule code is a repeat play rule for a plurality of voice contents, the code recognition unit 110 may recognize a plurality of visual information codes corresponding to a plurality of voice contents. Thereafter, the code recognition unit 110 may recognize one repetition rule code one more time.

For example, when the code recognition unit 110 recognizes one repetition rule code in “Listen to one continuous play” printed on the function selection card 400 of FIG. In 600), one visual information code corresponding to one voice content can be recognized.

When the code recognition unit 110 recognizes the one-repeat play rule code in “Listen continuously after selecting ten or less” printed on the function selection card 400 of FIG. ), it is possible to recognize up to ten visual information codes corresponding to up to ten voice contents. Thereafter, the code recognition unit 110 may recognize one repetition rule code one more time in "Listen continuously after selecting ten or less".

On the other hand, the code recognition unit 110 receives a dot code from an object instructing the execution of the first learning game (for example, “listen A and match A” in FIG. 4) in addition to the repeat play rule code in the function selection card 400. Recognize the first learning game execution code of the form, and obtain the second learning game execution code in the form of a dot code from an object instructing the execution of the second learning game (for example, "listen to B and guess A in FIG. 4") Recognizable.

Similarly, the code recognition unit 110 performs third learning in the form of a dot code from an object instructing the execution of the third learning game in the function selection card 400 (for example, “listen A and match A” in FIG. 5). The game execution code can be recognized, and the fourth learning game execution code in the form of a dot code can be recognized from an object instructing execution of the fourth game (for example, “listen B and guess A” in FIG. 5).

The memory unit 120 may store a content DB (DataBase) including a plurality of audio contents corresponding to a plurality of visual information printed on one publication 600 .

As shown in FIG. 7 , the content DB may include a plurality of visual information code data corresponding to a plurality of visual information codes and a plurality of audio contents matched with the plurality of visual information code data. Also, one piece of audio content matched to one piece of visual information code data may include a foreign language voice and a Korean language voice for visual information.

For example, when code data corresponding to visual information "ant" in a publication 600 as shown in FIG. 6 is "13002", audio content matched to code data "13002" is English voice "English voice" as shown in FIG. ant" and Korean voice "ant".

Also, the memory unit 120 may store a plurality of repetition reproduction rule data matched with a plurality of repetition reproduction rule codes printed on the function selection card 400 . Here, the repeat play rule data may include program commands for the content reproducing apparatus 100 to repeatedly play audio content according to the repeat play rule.

The plurality of repetition play rule data as described above includes first repetition rule data for repeatedly playing one or more audio contents according to the order in which the code recognition unit 110 recognizes one or more visual information codes in a publication 600; One or more audio contents are repeatedly reproduced, but the second repetition rule data in which the foreign language voice and the Korean language voice of each of the one or more audio contents are alternately repeated N (N is a natural number equal to or greater than 2) times among the one or more audio contents It may include individual repetition play rule data for repeatedly playing another audio content for N times after being repeatedly played for a period of time. Here, the individual repetition play rule data may include the 1 st play rule to the N th play rule.

Meanwhile, in one embodiment, when the content reproducing apparatus 100 further includes the recording unit 210, a plurality of repetition rule data includes a content playback section in which one audio content is reproduced by the content reproducing unit 140 to be described later; After the content reproduction section, a recording section in which the device user's speech for one voice content is recorded by the recording unit 210 and a recording playback section in which the content playback unit 140 plays back the recorded speech in the recording section are repeated. It may further include third repetition play rule data.

In one embodiment, when the content reproducing apparatus 100 repeatedly reproduces audio content according to the third repetition rule data, the memory unit 120 records in the recording unit 210 whenever a recording section arrives. You can save chords by overwriting them.

In other words, the memory unit 120 deletes the device user's utterances stored in the previous recording section under the control of the control unit 130, which will be described later, and the device user's voice recorded by the recording unit 210 in the upcoming recording section. Storing the speech sound can be repeated until the repeated reproduction of the audio content is finished.

As described above, in one embodiment, since the memory unit 120 overwrites the device user's speech sound under the control of the control unit 130, the repeated playback of voice content is prolonged, so even if the speech sound recording is repeated for a long time, it is repeated. Recorded speech sounds are not accumulated in the memory unit 120 . Therefore, the memory unit 120, which has a relatively small storage capacity compared to a content reproducing device to which the overwrite method is not applied, can be used for the content reproducing device 100, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the content reproducing device 100. be able to

The memory unit 120 as described above may include read/write flash memory, RAM (Random Access Memory), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory), SD (Secure Digital) memory, micro SD memory, and SSD. (Solid State Drive).

Meanwhile, in one embodiment, a portion of the memory unit 120 may be divided into a plurality of bookmark areas.

The code recognition unit 110 recognizes a storage instruction code in the form of a dot code from an object (for example, “Save” in FIG. 5 ) instructing bookmark storage for one or more voice contents, When recognizing one or more visual information codes and then recognizing one bookmark code in the form of a dot code from an object for designating one bookmark area among a plurality of bookmark areas (for example, the folder 5 image of FIG. ) may store one or more audio contents matched with one or more visual information codes in one bookmark area under the control of the controller 130. Here, one or more audio content stored in one bookmark area may be a copy of audio content included in the content DB.

The controller 130 may control overall operations of the content reproducing apparatus 100 .

In one embodiment, the control unit 130 may control repeated reproduction of one or more audio contents according to one repetition rule data corresponding to one repetition rule object of the function selection card 400 .

Specifically, when the code recognition unit 110 recognizes the one-repeat play rule code from the function selection card 400 by the device user's operation of the content reproducing device 100, the control unit 130 determines the one-repeated play rule code and Matched one repetition play rule data may be selected. In other words, the controller 130 may select one repetition play rule data matched with code data corresponding to one repetition play rule code from among a plurality of repetition play rule data stored in the memory unit 120 .

When the code recognition unit 110 recognizes one or more visual information codes, the controller 130 selects one or more audio contents matched with one or more visual information codes from the content DB stored in the memory unit 120, which will be described later. The content reproducing unit 140 repeatedly reproduces one or more audio contents according to one repetition rule data.

As an example, the code recognition unit 110 obtains a first repeat play rule from an object indicating the first repeat play rule in the function selection card 400 (for example, “select ten or less and listen continuously” in FIG. 4 ). Upon recognizing the code, the controller 130 performs a first repetition matched with the code data corresponding to the first repetition rule code (eg, “21003” in FIG. 8 ) among a plurality of repetition play rule data as shown in FIG. 8 . Replay rule data can be selected.

When the code recognition unit 110 sequentially recognizes two visual information codes corresponding to the English words “ant” and “arm” in a publication 600, the control unit 130 sequentially recognizes the two visual information codes from the content DB. Voice contents of "ant" and "arm" matched with code data corresponding to may be selected, respectively.

Thereafter, when the code recognition unit 110 recognizes the first repetition rule code once more, the control unit 130 reproduces the English voice of "ant" in the content reproducing unit 140 and then reproduces the English voice of "arm". It is possible to control to repeatedly reproduce two audio contents in the order of reproduction. Here, the controller 130 may control the content reproducing unit 140 to repeatedly reproduce two audio contents at a basic reproduction speed.

As another example, an object in which the code recognition unit 110 indicates the second repetition play rule in the function selection card 400 (eg, "(A) listen to translation" or "(B) listen to translation" in FIG. 4) When recognizing the second repeat play rule code from "listening"), the control unit 130 performs code data corresponding to the second repeat play rule code among a plurality of repeat play rule data as shown in FIG. 21004" or "21006") may be selected.

When the code recognition unit 110 recognizes a visual information code corresponding to the English word “ant” in a publication 600, the controller 130 matches “ant” with code data corresponding to the visual information code in the content DB. The voice content of "can be selected.

Thereafter, the controller 130 may control the content reproducing unit 140 to alternately and repeatedly reproduce the English voice of "ant" and the Korean voice (ant) for the translation of "ant". Here, the reproduction order of the English voice and the Korean voice may be different according to code data corresponding to the second repetition rule code (eg, “21004” or “21006” in FIG. 8 ).

As another example, the code recognition unit 110 receives an individual repetition rule code from an object indicating an individual repetition rule in the function selection card 400 (eg, “listen to words three times” in FIG. 4). When recognizing , the control unit 130 performs individual repetition rule data matched with code data (for example, “21009” in FIG. 8 ) corresponding to an individual repetition rule code among a plurality of repetition rule data as shown in FIG. 8 . can be selected.

When the code recognition unit 110 sequentially recognizes two visual information codes corresponding to the English words “ant” and “arm” in a publication 600, the control unit 130 sequentially recognizes the two visual information codes from the content DB. Voice contents of "ant" and "arm" matched with code data corresponding to may be selected, respectively.

When the code recognition unit 110 recognizes the individual repetition rule code once more, the control unit 130 initially reproduces the English voice of “ant” in the content reproduction unit 140 at the basic reproduction speed (first reproduction rule). And, after playing the Korean voice (ant) for the translation of "ant" at the default playback speed (secondary playback rule), the English voice of "ant" is finally played at a slow playback speed (third playback rule). You can control it.

Thereafter, the control unit 130 initially reproduces the English voice of "arm" in the content playback unit 140 at the basic playback speed (first playback rule), and the Korean voice (ant) for the translation of "arm" is the default. After playback at a playback speed (second playback rule), the English voice of “arm” can be controlled to be played at a slow playback speed (third playback rule).

As another example, the content reproducing apparatus 100 includes a recording unit 210, and the code recognition unit 110 indicates an object (e.g., FIG. When recognizing the third repetition rule code from “listen and repeat recording” of 4), the control unit 130 performs code data corresponding to the third repetition rule code among a plurality of repetition rule data as shown in FIG. , “21007” in FIG. 8) and matched third repetition play rule data may be selected.

When the code recognition unit 110 recognizes a visual information code corresponding to the English word “ant” in a publication 600, the controller 130 matches “ant” with code data corresponding to the visual information code in the content DB. The voice content of "can be selected.

Thereafter, the control unit 130 reproduces the English voice of “ant” in the content playback unit 140, then records the device user's utterance for 5 seconds in the recording unit 210, and records it in the content playback unit 140. The voice content of “ant” can be controlled to be repeatedly reproduced in the order of reproducing the utterance of the user of the device for 5 seconds. Here, the controller 130 may store the recording data generated whenever the recording unit 210 repeatedly records for 5 seconds in the memory unit 120 in an overwrite method.

As described above, the controller 130 may control repeated playback of audio content.

Meanwhile, in one embodiment, the controller 130 may control a learning game through voice content.

Specifically, when the code recognition unit 110 recognizes the first learning game code from the object indicating the first learning game in the function selection card 400 (for example, “listen A and match A” in FIG. 4) , The controller 130 may control the content playback unit 140 to play an explanation sound explaining the game method (for example, "select one or more visual information from one publication 600").

In addition, when the code recognition unit 110 recognizes one or more visual information codes from a publication 600, the controller 130 can select one or more audio contents corresponding to one or more visual information codes from the content DB.

When the code recognition unit 110 recognizes the first learning game code once more, the control unit 130 randomly selects one voice content from among one or more voice contents and then controls the content reproducing unit 140 to reproduce the one voice content. can do.

In addition, when the code recognition unit 110 recognizes a time information code from a publication 600, the control unit 130 can confirm whether the time information code is a time information code matched with an audio content.

When one time information code is a time information code matched with one voice content, the controller 130 controls the content reproducing unit 140 to reproduce a correct answer guide sound, and then randomly selects another voice content. In addition, it is possible to check whether the user answered the correct answer in the same way as above for other voice contents.

Meanwhile, when the time information code is not a time information code matched with one voice content, the controller 130 may control the content reproducing unit 140 to reproduce an incorrect answer guide sound. When the number of times that the code recognition unit 110 recognizes a time information code that does not match one audio content reaches a preset number of times, the controller 130 may randomly select another one audio content. In addition, it is possible to check the user's correct answer in the same way as above for the other voice content.

The controller 130 may reconfirm whether or not the user answered correctly on one audio content after confirming whether or not the user answered correctly on the remaining voice contents except for one voice content among one or more voice contents in the above manner.

In one embodiment, the code recognition unit 110 recognizes a third learning game code from an object indicating a third learning game on the function selection card 400 (for example, “listen A and match A” in FIG. 5). If so, the controller 130 may control the content playback unit 140 to play an explanation sound explaining the game method (for example, selecting one bookmark among a plurality of bookmarks).

When the code recognition unit 110 recognizes a bookmark code in the function selection card 400, the control unit 130 reproduces one or more voice contents stored in a bookmark area of the memory unit 120 and responds to the user's correct answer. Control for checking whether or not can be performed in the same way as in the first learning game.

The content reproducing unit 140 reproduces the audio content stored in the memory unit 120 as an audible sound. Here, the content reproducing unit 140 may include a speaker that outputs audible sound.

In an embodiment, the content reproducing unit 140 may reproduce one or more audio contents under the control of the controller 130, but may repeatedly reproduce one or more audio contents according to one repetition rule data.

Meanwhile, the recording unit 210, which may be further included in the content reproducing apparatus 100, may record the device user's utterance under the control of the control unit 130.

Specifically, when the control unit 130 controls the repeated reproduction of one or more audio contents according to the third repeat reproduction rule data, the recording unit 210 performs the recording unit whenever a recording section included in the third repeat reproduction rule arrives. You can record the user's speech.

The recording unit 210 may include a microphone that converts audible sound into an electrical signal.

As described above, according to one embodiment, the content reproducing device 100 can be obtained by a device user simply selecting an object printed on the function selection card 400 through the content reproducing device 100 such as an electronic pen. Since voice content can be repeatedly reproduced in various ways, the device user's effort for using the content reproducing device 100 can be reduced, and the learning achievement of the device user through the content reproducing device 100 can be improved.

Hereinafter, a process in which the content reproducing apparatus 100 repeatedly reproduces audio content will be described.

9 is a flowchart illustrating a process of repeatedly reproducing audio content in a content reproducing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 9 , the content reproducing apparatus 100 recognizes a one-repeat play rule code from the function selection card 400 and matches the one-repeat play rule code among a plurality of pre-stored replay rule data. Playback rule data can be selected (S910, S920). Here, the plurality of repetition rule data includes first repetition rule data for repeatedly playing one or more audio contents according to the order in which the code recognition unit 110 recognizes one or more time information codes in one publication 600; Repeat play of one or more audio contents, but N (N is a natural number of 2 or more) times among the second repetition rule data and one or more audio contents in which the foreign language voice and the Korean language voice of each of the one or more audio contents are alternately repeated. It may include individual repetition play rule data for repeatedly playing another audio content for N times after being repeatedly played for a period of time. In addition, the plurality of repetition rule data is a content reproduction section in which one voice content is reproduced by the content reproducing unit 140 and a recording in which the recording unit 210 records the device user's utterance for one voice content after the content reproduction interval. It may further include third repetition rule data in which a recording reproduction section in which the content reproducing section 140 reproduces the utterance recorded in the section and the recording section is repeated.

After step S920, the content reproducing apparatus 100 may recognize one or more visual information codes from a publication 600 and select one or more audio contents matched with one or more visual information codes from a pre-stored content DB. (S930, S940).

In addition, one or more audio contents may be repeatedly reproduced according to one repetition rule data (S950).

In step S950, if the repeated play rule data is individual repeat play rule data including the 1 st play rule to the N th play rule, the content reproducing apparatus 100 first plays one audio content from among one or more pieces of content. It can be played first according to the rules. In addition, one audio content may be finally reproduced according to the Nth reproduction rule.
