Description

Apparatus and Method for a service of the internet education through a separate type of external equipment}

An object of the present invention relates to a method of providing a more effective Internet education service by accessing the Internet and authenticating a user through a stand-alone external device having an MP3 player function, and in particular, a low-age children who do not know how to handle a keyboard or mouse at all. Internet education service for children using a stand-alone external device that enables easy and simple learning according to a series of processes, such as automatic access to the Internet, user authentication and personalized learning, and off-line-related review by pressing a button attached to the To provide a profit model.

Internet education service for children using a stand-alone external device with a built-in MP3 player function that is implemented by encoding voice data into an MP3 file and downloading it to a stand-alone external device has been implemented in various ways.

However, in the Internet education service using a stand-alone external device, a method of automatically connecting to the Internet and authenticating a user with only one click of a button attached to the stand-alone external device has not been implemented.

In addition, there is a method of accessing the Internet using a different system and authenticating a user by using a mouse, a keyboard, or a hub board to access the Internet with a single click. Users could be authenticated using various methods such as authentication and fingerprint recognition.

Accordingly, the present invention is different from the conventional technology in that it provides an easy and effective high-quality Internet education service by automatically accessing the Internet through a stand-alone external device having an MP3 player function and providing personalized content through a user authentication procedure.

Various methods of providing Internet education services using stand-alone external devices had problems in effective practical use such as internet access, user authentication, and learning method.

In the existing technology, in order to learn the Internet by connecting the Internet and an external device, the voice has to be encoded when the MP3 file is downloaded to the device.

In the case of downloading the learning contents, it was not personal contents through user authentication, so the contents had to be selected and downloaded directly, and those that combined MP3 player technology with external devices such as dolls, toys, and household goods generally had poor MP3 sound quality. There were many buttons and complicated, so only the appearance was changed for children. Therefore, it can be pointed out that the problem is that the children are very complicated to access the Internet and learn by themselves, and the execution is difficult due to a task requiring high judgment.

In addition, one-click internet access through keyboard, mouse, hub board, etc. is difficult for children who are not familiar with computers to operate the keyboard directly, and hub board is not suitable for children because there are 19 buttons. There was a problem.

In the case of user authentication, it is not easy for children to memorize and manipulate complicated processes in the process of authenticating Internet users through ID / Password input, speaker authentication, fingerprint, and other means, so that the adult has to teach them side by side. It was difficult for children to independence, motivation for learning, and interest.

In addition, MP3 playback has a disadvantage in that it is limited in providing a service by repeatedly playing only a predetermined sound which is pre-inputted. In general, only content is processed in a multimedia manner so that only one-sided learning is performed on-line. In education through external devices, most of the dolls and other external devices that are touched by infants and toddlers can record short voices of less than 30 seconds. It was hard to expect.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, and relates to an apparatus and method for providing an effective Internet education service through a stand-alone external device having the function of MP3.

To do this, it uses a technology that automatically encodes voice (narration, dialogue, song, etc.) in real time through the server process when encoding the voice data, and compared with conventional PCM (Pulse Modulation Data). It uses MP3 format which can play CD quality sound with more than 10 times compression rate.

In addition, Internet access can be accessed from a specific site that has been automatically connected and entered into the Internet by simply inserting an automatic boot device inside the external device by inserting an automatic booting device into an external device.

In addition, there is an alarm function, and when the scheduled time comes, the alarm function is activated and automatically connected to the Internet.

In the authentication method, when the authentication button attached to the external device is pressed, ID / Password is automatically input, and the learning contents of the corresponding site entered in advance are displayed, and the authentication information, user progress, and the curriculum multimedia DB are automatically linked. The automatic user authentication function provides the convenience of allowing children to access the Internet and learn by themselves without the help of adults.

In addition, it has a review system that allows students to learn not only on-line but also in off-line, and induces children to insert and follow auxiliary voices directly in consideration of the characteristics of children with low concentration. It is intended to amplify the effect of Internet education service by inspiring motivation and interest.

The present invention provides a clear profit by providing an Internet education service combining on-line and off-line that can be acquired by playing by itself through an educational independent external device which simultaneously plays and learns by supplementing various problems as described above. You can create a model.
