Description

Smart E-learning System {SMART EOECTRONIC TEACHING DESK}

The present invention relates to a two-way smart learning system in which a teacher transmits class information to students using an electronic podium through a terminal unit placed on a desk, students transmit discussion information or questions to the teacher using the terminal unit through the electronic podium, and students within a unit group can share information, thereby enabling two-way discussion classes between teachers and students and between students.

The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology's current smart school policy direction is to establish a stable educational service utilization foundation for each school by building a network environment where content-based on cloud education services can be freely utilized. In addition, the Ministry is supporting the introduction of a stable network added to existing wired/wireless networks through review of the construction and advancement of networks within schools.

In relation to this, electronic podiums equipped with various educational equipment such as display devices, computers, and projectors are being used due to the development of various educational equipment.

The electronic podium is optionally configured with a storage device for lecture information, a display, a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, and speakers. This electronic podium responds to keyboard and mouse inputs by displaying relevant lecture information on the display and outputting audio (voice) input from the microphone through the speakers, allowing the teacher to deliver the lecture through the podium.

And the lecture information displayed on the display is directly displayed on the electronic whiteboard or on each student's desk monitor, so that students can check the information entered by the teacher through their desk monitor from their seats.

However, although this type of electronic podium allows teachers to conduct one-way classes with students, it is difficult for students within a unit group to discuss and revise or write discussion materials during class, as in discussion classes. In addition, there is no way for teachers to intervene while students are writing or revising discussion materials, which lowers the quality of discussion classes. In addition, there is no way to transmit students' discussion materials to teachers during class, so teachers have difficulty checking students' discussion materials except on paper. It is also difficult to carry out all of these processes during class time, which reduces the effectiveness of discussion classes.

Figure 1 is a configuration diagram of a two-way smart learning system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

A two-way smart learning system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an electronic podium (10) for a teacher to input and write lecture information and control a classroom learning environment, a plurality of unit group sections (20, 22, 24) in which a plurality of students are divided into groups to perform group discussion learning and are arranged in a plurality of positions and have terminal units (30, 32, 34) that display information input and written on the electronic podium, a main media hub (12) for transmitting information of the electronic podium (10) to the plurality of unit group sections (20, 22, 24), and sub media hubs (40, 42, 44) that are arranged in each unit group section ((20, 22, 24)) and wirelessly connected to the main media hub (12) and display information approved by the main media hub (12) on the terminal units (30, 32, 34) within the unit group sections ((20, 22, 24)).

The main media hub (12) is connected to an electronic whiteboard (14) placed in the classroom, so that information activated on the electronic podium (10) can be displayed on the electronic whiteboard (14).

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the electronic podium (10) includes a stand (50) supported on the floor, a support (52) vertically arranged on the upper surface of the stand (50), a main body (54) that is movably arranged on the upper surface of the support (52) and has the same configuration as the PC main body inside, and is wirelessly connected to the main media hub (12) to transmit signals, and a touch display unit (56) that is installed on the front of the main body (54) and allows information to be input by touch, and allows information to be input and written using various devices such as a touch pen.

Between the support (52) and the main body (54), a lifting member (not shown) for raising and lowering the main body (54) and an angle adjusting member (not shown) for adjusting the angle of the main body (54) may be installed. In addition, a keyboard support member (18) on which a keyboard is mounted may be installed on the support member (52).

The main body (54) may be equipped with a storage unit (58) that stores data, various class information, and class content, and a control unit (60) that controls the entire class system.

In addition, on one side of the touch display unit (56), an operation panel (62) is installed, which includes an operation unit for operating various peripheral devices inside the classroom, an operation button for operating an electronic whiteboard, and an information input means for inputting external information.

A control monitor (48) is installed on the front of the operation panel (62) to display various information controlled by the control unit (60), such as temperature and humidity in the classroom and a microphone control screen.

The touch display unit (56), as illustrated in FIG. 4, includes a main display window (72) in which a teacher can input and change information using a touch pen or the like, and in which a plurality of shortcut keys (70) are arranged and activated when a shortcut key (70) is touched by touch or using a touch pen, and a drag window (74) arranged on one edge of the main display window (72) so that when a user drags the activated main display window (72) onto the main display window (72), information is activated on terminal units (30, 32, 34) inside the classroom so that all students in the classroom can view the information simultaneously.

The main display window (72) activates shortcut keys (70) to display desired lecture information on the main display window (72), and the teacher inputs, changes, and writes information using touch to write lecture information. At this time, when the teacher writes lecture information, it can be viewed on the main display window (72) that only the teacher can see.

That is, when a teacher writes and changes lecture information in the main display window (72) so that only the necessary information can be conveyed to students, only the teacher can check it through the main display window (72), and when the writing of lecture information is completed, the main display window (72) is dragged to the drag window (74) to transmit it to the terminal unit (30, 32, 34).

In addition, the lecture information displayed on the terminal unit (30, 32, 34) by being dragged to the drag window (74) is also displayed in the main display window (72), and when the teacher writes the lecture information on the main display window (72), the students can see the writing process, thereby improving the quality of the lecture. In other words, students can check the lecture information written by the instructor in real time on the terminal unit (30, 32, 34) just as the instructor writes the lecture information on the blackboard.

At this time, when the teacher drags the lecture information to the drag window (74), it is difficult for the teacher to check whether the same information is displayed on the terminal unit (30, 32, 34). To enable the teacher to check this, a small-sized sub-display window (76) is provided on one side of the operation panel (62). When the lecturer drags the lecture information to the drag window (74), the dragged lecture information is displayed on the sub-display window (76), and the teacher can check that the lecture content has been transferred to the terminal unit (30, 32, 34) by looking at the sub-display window (76).

In addition, the operation panel (62) may be equipped with a microphone connection jack for connecting a microphone on one side, a connection connector for connecting various connectors such as USB, an NFC connection for wirelessly inputting information, an elevation button for raising and lowering the main body, and various adjustment buttons for adjusting the angle of the main body.

In addition, the operation panel (62) is equipped with an operation unit that has various functions necessary for creating lecture information, such as adjusting the color and font size of the lecture information activated in the sub display window (76) and the main display window (72).

On the control monitor (48), the teacher can select lesson plans, auxiliary materials, etc., control subtitle transmission, YouTube transmission, lecture recording, etc., and perform student microphone control, main body elevation, main body incline adjustment, etc.

In addition, the control panel (62) is equipped with operation buttons that can operate various peripheral devices inside the classroom, so that the peripheral devices inside the classroom can be operated from the electronic podium.

For example, a curtain operating unit for opening and closing curtains, an air conditioner operating unit for turning the air conditioner on/off and controlling the temperature and humidity, and a lighting control unit for controlling the brightness and turning on/off of the lighting inside the classroom may be provided.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, the unit group section (20, 22, 24) includes a station desk (80), a plurality of terminal units (30, 32, 34) arranged in a circumferential direction around the station desk (80) and movably mounted on the station desk (80), a plurality of desks (82, 84, 86) arranged to correspond to each terminal unit (30, 32, 34), an elevator bar (90) movably mounted on the center of the station desk (80), a plurality of cameras (92, 94, 96) mounted on the top of the elevator bar (90) to film students, and a plurality of microphones (100) used when students present discussion materials or ask questions to a teacher.

The terminal unit (30, 32, 34) is a tablet PC equipped with a touch display, and students can input information using a USB or personal terminal, and write and change information using the touch screen.

The terminal unit is composed of a first terminal unit (30), a second terminal unit (32), and a third terminal unit (34), and the desk is composed of a first desk (82) arranged to face the first terminal unit (30), a second desk (84) arranged to face the second terminal unit (32), and a third desk (86) arranged to face the third terminal unit (34), and the cameras (92, 94, 96) can be composed of a first camera (92), a second camera (94), and a third camera (96) to photograph students sitting at each desk, and a microphone (100) can also be arranged on each desk.

Here, the unit group section is structured as one example, with three student terminal units. However, the number can be adjusted depending on the number of students in each group. Furthermore, one desk can be used by two students, or one desk can be used by one student.

Cameras (92, 94, 96) capture images of students, analyze them using AI, and inform teachers of their class attitudes. Specifically, cameras (92, 94, 96) capture images of students, analyze them using AI, and notify teachers of any poor class participation, allowing them to take corrective action. Furthermore, understanding students' class participation can be used as data to improve students' concentration in class.

The main media hub (12) serves as a wireless screen sharing device capable of two-way communication, transmitting information signals from the electronic podium (10) to the sub media hubs (40, 42, 44) or transmitting information signals from the sub media hubs (40, 44, 46) to the electronic podium.

The main media hub (12) is connected to the electronic whiteboard (14) to display information from the electronic podium (10) on the electronic whiteboard (14) so that all students in the classroom can check it through the electronic whiteboard.

In addition, the main media hub (12) can be connected to the main media hub of another classroom or another school through the Internet so that class information of one teacher can be transmitted to another classroom or another school, so that students in another classroom or another school can view the class information of the teacher in real time and participate in the class.

In addition, since the main media hub (12) is connected wirelessly, there is a concern that the signal from the electronic podium of the relevant classroom may be transmitted to the sub media hub of another classroom. Therefore, the main media hub is connected wirelessly only to the assigned sub media hub, thereby blocking the signal from being transmitted to the sub media hub of another classroom.

Sub media hubs (40, 42, 44) are placed in each unit group section (20, 22, 24) and are wirelessly connected to the main media hub (12) to transmit information authorized from the electronic podium (10) only to terminal units (30, 32, 34) within the unit group section (20, 22, 24) so that the information is displayed, thereby allowing all students within the unit group section (20, 22, 24) to view class information.

In addition, the sub media hub (40, 42, 44) allows information to be entered and written in one terminal unit (e.g., the first terminal unit (30)) within the unit group section (20, 22, 24), and the same information is displayed in other terminal units (e.g., the second and third terminal units (32, 34)) within the unit group section, so that discussion information entered by one student within the unit group section can be viewed by all students within the unit group section.

In this way, the sub-media hub (40, 42, 44) is connected only to the terminal units within one unit group, and allows the terminal units to share information with each other and check the information created in real time during the discussion class in real time, making it easy and convenient for students to exchange opinions with each other when conducting a discussion class in the unit group.

In addition, the sub media hubs (40, 42, 44) transmit information created in real time during the discussion process in the unit group departments (20, 22, 24) to the main media hub (12), and the main media hub (12) displays the information in real time on the electronic podium (10), so that the teacher can check the discussion process being conducted in each unit group department (20, 22, 24) in real time, and the teacher can intervene in the discussion process of the unit group departments to ensure that the discussion proceeds normally.

That is, the discussion process of each unit group is displayed in the form of a floor board on the main display window (56) of the electronic podium (10), so that the teacher can check the discussion process, and when the teacher determines that intervention is necessary among the unit groups, he/she activates the discussion information of the unit group by clicking on it, and then using an electronic pen, etc., the teacher writes and intervenes in the discussion information of the unit group, and when the teacher drains the information written by the teacher into the drag window (74), the information is activated on the terminal unit (30, 32, 34) of the unit group so that all students of the unit group can check it.

Since the main media hub (12) and the sub media hubs (40, 42, 44) arranged in the unit group sections (20, 22, 24) are wirelessly connected, the teacher can transmit information only to the selected unit group section among the multiple unit group sections. That is, when the teacher selects a unit group section on the electronic podium (10) and transmits information only to the selected unit group section, information is transmitted only to the selected sub media hub from the main media hub (12), and thus only to the corresponding unit group section.

As shown in Fig. 5, the main media hub is connected to the POE hub (110) via wired/wireless, and the POE hub (110) is connected to the speaker (112) and the main camera (114) in the classroom to transmit the video inside the classroom captured by the main camera (114) to the electronic podium, and the teacher's voice through the microphone of the electronic podium is output through the speaker (112).

And the POE hub (110) is connected to the POE switches (120, 122, 124) placed in each unit group (20, 22, 24).

The POE switches (120, 122, 124) arranged in each unit group section (20, 22, 24) are connected to multiple cameras (92, 94, 96) and microphones (100) arranged in the unit group section, and serve to supply power to the cameras (92, 94, 96) and transmit images captured by the cameras and audio generated from the microphones.

That is, when a student uses a microphone in a unit group, the audio signal is output to the speaker via a POE switch and POE hub. Furthermore, the camera of the student using the microphone captures the student, and the image is displayed on the electronic whiteboard via the lectern.

And, the image of the student captured by the camera in each unit group is stored in the storage unit (58) through the POE hub (1100 and main media hub (12) and when authorized by the control unit (60), the control unit (62) analyzes it based on AI.

In this way, a two-way smart learning system according to one embodiment of the present invention can implement two-way learning by allowing a teacher to input lecture information using an electronic podium, allowing all students in each unit group to check it through a terminal unit, and allowing students in each unit group to conduct discussions and create discussion information to be transmitted to the electronic podium so that the teacher can check it.

In addition, all terminal units within a unit group can share information through a sub-media hub, allowing all students within the unit group to participate in discussions, thereby improving the quality of discussion classes.

Although the present invention has been described and illustrated with specific preferred embodiments as examples, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes and modifications may be made by a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains within a scope that does not depart from the spirit of the present invention.
