The foreign language ability test of the individual member in step 328 may be omitted according to the request of the individual member, and when performing the test, the client computer 110 and the server for foreign language learning management ( The test may be used in various ways, such as by performing a direct video communication online or the like connected via the Internet 100, or testing a phone call offline.

As shown in FIG. 4, the expert routine of step 312 determines whether the expert member selects foreign language learning recruitment, recruitment confirmation, or foreign language learning performance in steps 400 and 402 and 404. When selecting a foreign language learning offer for recruiting individual members to learn a foreign language in step 400, the foreign language learning management server 130 inputs the content of the foreign language learning offer in step 406. The content of the foreign language learning offer includes various information related to the foreign language learning offer, including, for example, a study period, a study time, a study content, a recruitment number, a recruitment method, and a learning cost. When the content input of the foreign language learning offer is completed, the foreign language learning management server 130 stores the content of the foreign language learning offer input in step 408 in the storage means 132 and posts the details of the foreign language learning offer. do.

In step 402, when selecting the confirmation of recruitment history in order to confirm the details of the foreign language learning offer posted as described above, the foreign language learning management server 130 has applied for the individual so far in step 410. All members are searched for and displayed, and in step 412 the expert member selects individual members to learn. When the expert member selects individual members to learn, and completes the selection of the individual member in step 414, the server 130 for foreign language learning management determines and stores individual members to learn foreign languages in step 416. In step 418, individual members are notified of the foreign language learning decision by e-mail address and / or telephone.

When the expert member selects to perform foreign language learning in step 404, the server 130 for foreign language learning management searches for all individual members who learn a foreign language to the expert member in step 420, and in step 422 It is determined whether the personal computer 110 of the individual member is currently connected to the server 130 for foreign language learning management, and the personal computer 110 of the expert member through the Internet 100 is connected to the personal computer 110 of the individual member. In step 426, the foreign language learning is terminated by connecting to 120 and performing a video call with each other, and when the foreign language learning ends, the learning time is stored in the storage means 132. do.

The learning time stored in the step 428 is accumulated for a predetermined period, and the learning fee is charged to the individual member and paid to the corresponding expert member according to the accumulated time.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the personal routine of steps 314 and 330 is a server for foreign language learning management when the individual member selects a foreign language learning setting in step 500 to select an expert member who will learn a foreign language. In step 502, it is determined whether the expert member selects the foreign language learning recruited by selecting the step 400, and in step 504, whether the personal setting is selected in order to personally set the learning. . When the individual member selects confirmation of the recruitment history in step 502, the server 130 for foreign language learning management searches for and displays all the details of recruitment of the expert members in step 506, and in step 508 When one of the displayed recruitment details is selected, the recruitment details are displayed in detail in step 510. For example, a profile of an expert member recruiting foreign language learning and an expert member in step 406 are displayed. Display the details entered so that individual members can check.

In the next step 512, if the individual member selects cancel, the server for foreign language learning management 130 returns to step 500, and when selecting the recruitment application in step 514, the corresponding personal member in step 516 It is stored in the storage means 132 that the expert member has applied for foreign language learning recruitment, and can be confirmed when the expert member selects confirmation of the recruitment history in step 402.

When the individual member selects a personal setting in the step 504, the server 130 for foreign language learning management selects a language to be used by the individual member and a foreign language to be learned in step 518, and the foreign language in step 520. In step 522, the user enters a time to learn, selects individual learning or group learning, and in step 524, selects content to learn. Here, the selection of the content to be learned, for example, displays the learning content as shown in Table 1 so that individual members can select.

When the input of the selection of the individual member is completed in this way, the server for foreign language learning management 130 searches for an expert member suitable for the input of the personal member in step 526, for example, using the corresponding language, Display all profiles of professional members who can learn foreign languages. In the next step 528, when the individual member selects the expert member, the server for foreign language learning management 130 displays the profile of the expert in step 530 in detail.

If the individual member selects cancellation in the next step 532, the server 130 for foreign language learning management returns to step 526 and allows another expert member to be selected, and the foreign language when determining the expert member in step 534. The learning management server 130 stores the personal member's selection in the storage means 132 in step 536, and then learns the individual member by e-mail address and / or phone to the corresponding expert member in step 538. Notify the details.

When the individual member does not select the foreign language learning setting in step 500, and selects the foreign language learning setting change in step 540, the server 130 for foreign language learning management is set by the personal member in step 542. The learning setting contents of the foreign language are displayed, and in step 544, the learning setting contents are changed according to the input of the individual member, and then the process is performed from step 526 to select and store the expert members.

In addition, when the individual member selects to perform foreign language learning in step 546, the server 130 for foreign language learning management searches for and determines the foreign language learning option of the individual member in the storage means 132 in step 548, and determines the step. In operation 550, when the expert member learning by the individual member is currently connected to the foreign language learning management server 130, the expert member is connected to the foreign language learning management server 130 at step 552. The personal computer 110 of the individual member and the professional computer 120 of the expert member are connected to each other through the Internet 100 to learn a foreign language. In the next step 554, it is determined whether the foreign language learning is terminated in step 556 while counting the elapsed time of the foreign language learning, and when the foreign language learning is terminated as a result of the determination, the storage time 132 is stored in step 558. Store in

The learning time stored in the step 558 is accumulated for a predetermined period, and the learning fee is charged to the individual member and paid to the corresponding expert member according to the accumulated time.

While the invention has been shown and described with respect to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood that the invention may be variously modified and modified without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as provided by the following claims.
