Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EDUCATION OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE ON NETWORK}

The present invention relates to a foreign language learning system and method using a network, and more particularly, to a learning system and method for individually controlling video data, text data, translation data, and word commentary data.

Regardless of age, people's enthusiasm for education is not changing easily. This is because in order to win the competition among individuals, the ability of each individual, in particular, the ability to learn a language for a foreign language, takes a large weight.

The motivation to learn about language skills among individuals continues from elementary school to university. In the workplace after graduation, language skills of office workers are becoming an important criterion for evaluation of work ability. As a result, students who attend school go to school after school and after work to find foreign language institutions such as English and Japanese, and spend a lot of time and effort in learning foreign languages.

There are two ways to learn a foreign language: talking directly with the instructor through the school, or learning while watching a language tape or video. In recent years, foreign language learning methods using real-time or video data through networks such as the Internet have gained great popularity.

Academies and educational institutions that offer foreign language education prepare various types of textbooks and lectures for students and office workers, and recruit a large number of students through this course. Learning tapes and videos are being released.

In particular, in recent years, foreign language learning methods such as AFKN (American Forces Korea Network) have gained great response to foreign language education. As described above, the learning method using foreign broadcasting has a greater effect by analyzing a caption signal from an original video signal, and using a caption decoder to convert the analyzed metabolic content into a character and display it on the screen.

The caption decoder was developed in the United States as part of a welfare service for the hearing-impaired, but has recently been widely used for infant language and foreign language education.

The caption method includes an off-line method of inserting subtitles into a pre-produced program and an on-line method of inputting letters by a shorthand. In the pre-editing method, after inputting a subtitle to a recording medium on which a video material is recorded, the screen and text are mixed through a time code, and the text is transmitted and inserted into the screen. On the other hand, the real-time input method is a system operator inputs the subtitles in real time during the news or sports relay process, the subtitles are displayed on the screen after 2-3 seconds when the reporter enters the letter in accordance with the audio. The caption method has been greatly recognized for its effect on foreign language education because of the advantage that the content can be viewed through the screen at the same time as watching the foreign language.

1 is a diagram illustrating a screen when a user watches a foreign program through a caption function on a TV.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the case of using the caption function, the user may watch the screen through the TV 10 and capture the caption of the audio signal output from the screen through the caption block 20 located at a predetermined portion of the TV screen. I can confirm it visually.

The caption function separates the captions in units of short sentences or sentences at the moment when the audio signal is output on the TV 10 screen, and displays the corresponding captions in the caption block 20 through a designated time variable. Therefore, since the user using the caption function cannot grasp the continuous situation before or after the audio signal is output from the image displayed on the TV 10 screen, it is difficult to easily recognize the entire screen configuration. .

In addition, when a broadcasting station does not support a caption function or a user does not have a caption device separately, such a caption function cannot be used.

In addition, since the network learning method through the Internet has been greatly commercialized in recent years, foreign language learning through this has generated a great interest.

The Internet refers to transmission control between a plurality of unit networks divided by Internet Protocol (hereinafter, referred to as IP) addresses and a plurality of hosts having individual IP addresses provided in each unit network. Based on the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (hereinafter referred to as TCP / IP), the local area network (LAN) or the public switched telephone network (PSTN) is used. A data communication network capable of performing data communication. Here, the host means a computer that can communicate with the outside through a communication device, and can communicate with each other only with a unique IP address assigned to each host.

2 shows a network configuration for accessing the Internet.

As shown in FIG. 2, the network for accessing the Internet is provided with an Internet terminal device 30 provided with a command input by a user to obtain desired information. The command from the Internet terminal device 30 and the IP address of the user are provided to the wired network 32 which performs the connection with other terminal devices. The gateway 34 receives a command and an IP address from the wired network 32 and converts the data into data in a form used on the Internet. The Internet 36 arranges a connection between different networks to execute a command transmitted from the gateway 34, and a Web server 38 receives a command from the Internet 36 and receives corresponding web information. To provide. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) 40 receives a command from the Internet 36 and performs a connection with another network. In addition, it may include an intranet 42 connected to the Internet 36 through the Internet service provider 40 and a database 44 owned by the intranet 42.

Looking at the operation of the network with reference to Figure 2 as follows. First, the Internet terminal device 30 executes an Internet program, attempts to connect to a network to which a user wants to have an IP address. This connection attempt is made by connecting to the Internet 34 through a wired network 32 to which the Internet terminal device 30 is connected, and then to the Internet 36 using a protocol such as TCP / IP. Once the connection is established, the Internet 36 notifies the Internet terminal device 30 of the information of the place where the user wants to connect, thereby performing data transmission with each other. If the desired information is in a database of a particular network connected to the Internet 36, it is connected to the corresponding intranet 42 via an Internet service provider 40 connected to the Internet 36 and connected to the database 44 connected thereto. Done.

By providing a service that provides education online for free or for a fee through the Internet, users can reduce the time or cost of visiting the school. Its representative site is www.onstudy.com, which allows users to sign up as a free or paid member and receive training in foreign languages, computers or various certificates online.

In general, such a network education system includes a method in which lecturers in foreign languages and various specialized fields store lecture contents in a database as video or audio information, and transmit data to the corresponding learners when a lecturer selects the lecture. I use it. Lecturers can listen to lectures while listening to video and audio information transmitted from the education system server. Alternatively, the lecturer may lecture at a designated time, and a plurality of students may access the education system server and take the lecture in real time.

Such a network education has the advantage that the student does not need to visit a school or an educational institution, and can take a lecture at a desired time through a personal computer system.

However, even in the case of learning a foreign language using such a network education system, the students only receive the video data and the audio data provided by the instructor unilaterally, and cannot simultaneously check the subtitles or translations of the video materials. In addition, when a sentence or word that does not know the meaning appears in the text data for the video material, there is a problem that the student can not confirm the meaning of the sentence or word at that time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide a foreign language learning method and system that enables a user to learn more efficiently by separating image data and text data and providing the same through a separate window. .

In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a foreign language learning method and system capable of classifying text data separated from image data into words, and providing interpretation to each word according to a user's request.

In the case of providing content information in English to Koreans, an operation of a foreign language learning system will be described as an embodiment of the present invention.

Content information provided from the content providing system 200 may include image data, audio data, and English text data. For example, content information stored in a recording medium such as a video tape or a digital video disk (DVD) or content information transmitted through a cable or TV radio wave includes image data displayed on a screen and audio data output as an audio signal together with the image data. It also includes English text data for implementing captioning or displaying schedule information on the screen. In general, such image data, audio data, and text data cannot be controlled by a user who receives content information.

The education service server 100 includes a content information processing system 120 to edit content information provided from the content providing system 200. The content information processing system 120 uses a text data separation system 122 for separating English text data in word units from the content information provided from the content providing system 200, and a user using English text data separated from the content information. Translation system 126 for translating into Korean, and a word commentary system 124 that provides a description of the words contained in the separated English text data.

The text data separation system 122 extracts text data from content information in which image data, audio data, and English text data are mixed, and separates the extracted English text data in word units. This is to implement a dictionary function that provides the meaning or description of the selected word at the request of the user. You can even provide translations for phrases or phrases of your choice.

The English text data extracted in units of words from the content information by the text data separation system 122 is translated into Korean by the translation system 126. The Korean text data translated into Korean by the translation system 126 may be provided through a separate window along with the English text when the user views the image data.

The word interpretation system 124 includes a dictionary function that provides meaning and description for each word extracted by the text data separation system 122. Therefore, when the user views the image data and selects a word to be known among English text data, the meaning and description of the selected word may be provided through a separate window.

The text data separated from the content information and the text translation data translated by the translation system 126 and the commentary data by the word commentary system 124 are stored in the database 130, respectively. Therefore, in response to a user's request, the corresponding image data, text data, text translation data, or commentary data may be extracted from the database 130 and provided to the user.

Meanwhile, the education service server 100 of the present invention not only improves the learning effect by providing image data, text data, text translation data, and commentary data, but also receives a question from a user and provides an answer thereto, thereby providing a plurality of users. It can provide a discussion space where people can discuss on a topic.

Referring to FIG. 4, the education service server 100 of the present invention edits the content information provided from the content providing system 200 and provides the user 102 in addition to the content information processing system 120 provided to the user 102. The method may further include a question and answer system 140 that receives a question from the user and provides an answer thereto. In addition, the plurality of users 102 may further include a conversation processing system 150 capable of conducting a conversation centering on the foreign instructor, such as visiting the academy.

The question and answer system 140 may provide a foreigner with a question of the user who has been listening to the image data, the text data, and the text translation data to a foreigner or publish it on a bulletin board, so that the user may easily solve the question when the user has a question.

The conversation processing system 150 receives an application from a user who has viewed the image data, and provides a separate discussion space to enable discussion about a predetermined topic among a plurality of users who have viewed the image data. Accordingly, users can exchange their views or opinions about the image data. At this time, in order to prevent errors in the use of foreign languages among users, it is desirable to have at least one foreigner who can supervise the discussion.

FIG. 5 illustrates details of data stored in the database 130 through the content information processing system 120 in the foreign language learning system according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the content information processing system 120 extracts and separates text data from content information, generates translation data for text data, and generates commentary data for each word of the text data. Data and text data, text translation data, and word commentary data will be stored separately in each database 131, ..., 134. This is to control image data, text data, text translation data, and word commentary data according to a user's request.

In addition, since the foreign language learning system of the present invention is a system for foreign language learning and conversation of a user, it is preferable to provide a service to a user registered as a member for a trust relationship between users. Accordingly, although not shown in the drawings, a firewall server capable of performing a security function using a packet filtering function may be separately provided.

Accordingly, the database 130 will include a database 135 that stores user data for the user who is a member and a query / response database 136 that contains the user's query and its response. The user database 135 may include personally identifiable information such as a user's name, address, social security number, date of birth, and foreign language grade information indicating a degree of foreign language ability.

Referring to FIG. 6, first, content information including image data, audio data, or text data is collected through off-line or on-line (S10). The text data is inserted in the video data so that it can be displayed as a subtitle on the screen.

In general, content information including an image may be collected in the form of a video tape, CD, DVD, or the like. Alternatively, content information may be directly provided through a network such as the Internet. The provider of such content information may be an English-speaking overseas broadcaster or CATV business, a domestic broadcaster or a foreign currency importer, or a domestic English service provider.

When the content information is collected, the text data is extracted and separated therefrom (S12). In this case, in order to facilitate extraction and processing of text data, the content information in analog form is converted into a digital signal and then data extraction is performed.

When the text data is extracted from the content information including the image data, the audio data, and the text data, the separated text data may be processed separately from the image data and the audio data. As such, translation data is generated using the text data separated from the video and audio data (S14). The translation process may use a separate translation program.

Then, in order to provide the user with a dictionary function for the word, the extracted text data is separated into word units (s16), and commentary data including contents such as meaning, pronunciation symbol, or commentary for each word are generated. (s18). The commentary data is to provide a meaning and explanation of the corresponding word when the user selects a certain word in the learning process using the content information.

In this way, the text data extracted from the content information, the remaining image data, the audio data, the translation data for the text data, and the commentary data for each word are stored in the database by extracting the text data from the content information (s20). ). Using the stored data, it is possible to provide a video screen, a text screen, a translation screen, and a commentary screen to the user, respectively.

7A to 7E show flowcharts of a foreign language learning method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to this, the foreign language learning method of the present invention will be described.

First, referring to FIG. 7A, a user accesses an education service server of the present invention through a network (S30). In this case, it is preferable that the user who wants to use the education service undergoes a member authentication process using personal information such as ID and password or social security number. In order to maintain a trust relationship among members who use the educational service, a user who is not a member is encouraged to go through a member registration process (s34). In the case of the user registered as a member, the education channel information available to the user is provided to the user (s36). The educational channel information available to the user may be a movie, a drama, an animation, or a video produced in another foreign language.

In addition to the foreign language image learning channel (1) using the video material, it may include a communication channel (2) for a dialogue between a plurality of users and a question and answer channel (3) for presenting a question and requesting an answer thereto. have.

After the user selects the image learning channel 1, the user can receive the learning data such as image data, audio data, or text data by selecting a video object to be learned from a movie, drama, animation, or other video object. On the other hand, by selecting the conversation channel (2) to proceed with conversations with other users in a foreign language, or by selecting the question and answer channel (3), you can ask questions about the questions that experts or foreigners question in learning a foreign language. have. The conversation channel 2 or the question and answer channel 3 may be selected from time to time as needed by the user in the process of using the image learning channel 1.

FIG. 7B is a flowchart illustrating a case where a user uses a foreign language image learning channel 1 in the foreign language learning method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7B, when the user selects the image learning channel 1, a list of image learning data available to the user is transmitted to the user. When the user selects data desired to learn from the list of image learning data, the selected learning data is transmitted to the user (S50). When the user selects the learning data expressed in English, the video data in which the video and audio data are output, the English text data corresponding to the audio data, the Korean text data in which the English text data is translated and displayed, or the word selected by the user Commentary data for In this case, each video data, English text data, Korean text data and commentary data are displayed through separate windows.

Accordingly, the user can watch a video such as a movie or a drama through the video window, and can check the dialogue contents of the characters in the movie or the drama through the English text window in English subtitles. In addition, the Korean text window can be used to view the Korean translation sentence of the English subtitle displayed in the English text window, and the meaning and description of the word selected in the English text window can be confirmed through the commentary window.

At this time, the user can select a playback speed, repeat playback, or pause function of the video through the video window. In addition, in the English text window or the Korean text window, the number of sentences, text size, color, etc. of the displayed text may be changed.

7C is a flowchart illustrating a case where a user selects and controls an English window in a foreign language learning method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7C, when a user selects an image learning channel, image data is provided to the user together with audio through the image window (S70). In this case, the user may control the screen operation of the video window by using the selection button provided in the video window.

For example, when the user wants to repeatedly watch a certain section while watching a video, the video screen is paused (s74), and a section to be repeatedly played is set (s76). Then, by selecting the repeat play function for the set section, it is possible to repeatedly watch a certain section of the video (s78).

In addition, even when the playback speed of the video is to be slowed down or speeded up, the video screen may be temporarily paused (s80) and the playback speed may be changed (s84). At this time, the playback speed may be changed without stopping the video screen.

Similarly, the user may adjust the volume of the output volume or the size of the text subtitles or sentences displayed in the English text window or the Korean text window (s86).

Referring to FIG. 7B again, the user may check the English subtitle through the English text window while watching the video. At this time, when the English text window is selected from the plurality of windows, the English text window is activated (s56). If a user looks at the English subtitle displayed through the English text window and there is a word he wants to know the meaning of, the user selects it and the contents of the selected word are displayed through the commentary window (S60). Therefore, the user can check the meaning of the selected word while watching the video. The dictionary function is not only limited to words, but may also be applied to phrases or phrases selected by a user among English subtitles.

On the other hand, the user can check the Korean translation contents of the English subtitles displayed through the English text window (S62), and the contents of the selected word through the commentary window (s64).

FIG. 7D illustrates an example of a screen when a user selects a conversation learning channel 2 to communicate with a plurality of users in a foreign language in the foreign language learning method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7D, when a user selects a chat channel for discussion through a chat room, the method for providing foreign language learning provides a chat application menu to the corresponding user (S100). The user writes the application contents of the conversation topic, the date and time of the establishment of the chat room, or the desired moderator to lead the discussion (s102). The subject of conversation will be the impression of viewing or commenting on the videos watched during the foreign language learning process.

At this time, it is necessary to acknowledge the establishment of a chat room only when the content of the chat room is appropriate for the user's operation efficiency. That is, the subject of the conversation, the time or the qualification of the applicant for opening the chat room is determined and, if appropriate, the user's application is announced (s106), and the chat room participants are recruited. On the other hand, if the content of the chat room open request applicant is not suitable, for example, if the chat room open request application qualification or the topic of the chat is not appropriate, the user is notified of the reason for rejection (s114), and the chat learning channel is terminated.

If the application for opening a chat room is normally made, other users will see the announcement of the chat room opening and apply for participation in the chat room. Accordingly, the application is received from the chat room participation applicants (s108), and the chat room is opened at the designated date and time (s110). When the chat room is opened, the applicant for opening, the applicant for participation, and the moderator will participate to discuss the conversation and the topic (s112).

7E illustrates a flowchart when a user selects a query response channel in the foreign language learning method according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7E, when a query response channel is selected from a plurality of channels of the user, a menu according to the query response is provided to the user (S120). When a user watches a video, the user inputs a question, a content to be asked, a question about a method of expressing a foreign language, and the like. In this case, the user may select whether to open a question content and a target to which the question is intended.

When the user receives the question content input (s122), the question content is posted on the public bulletin board according to the public availability (s126), or the question content is transmitted to the target selected by the questioner. If the user does not request to publish the content of the question or select a target, an administrator or a person in charge thereof may respond to the question.

When a user's question is posted on a bulletin board, another user answers the question, or when the questioner comes from a selected person, or when an administrator or representative answers the question, Provided (s128, s130). Therefore, when a user watches a video or has a question or wants to know, the user can easily check the desired content by asking a question about it.

FIG. 8 illustrates an example of a screen when a user performs foreign language learning through an image learning window, an English text window, a Korean text window, and a commentary window in the foreign language learning method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, a user may watch an image such as a movie, a drama, or an animation through a video learning window 210 and listen to a voice on the display screen 200, and may learn an image through an English text window 220. The text subtitle of the voice output from the window 210 may be checked. In particular, the voice output from the image learning window 210 among English text subtitles may be displayed in a different color, size, or shape from previous text or subsequent text, and thus the user may link the voice data with the text data.

In this case, since the text subtitles that the user can check through the English text window 220 are transmitted separately from the image data, the user can adjust the number of lines, the size of the text, the color, etc. of the text subtitles displayed through the window. .

In addition, the user may check the translation contents of the English text displayed through the English text window 220 through the Korean text window 230.
