It is implemented with a combination of software and hardware that performs the function of receiving multimedia content.

The content providing server 140 has a database (not shown) that stores multimedia contents corresponding to a barcode drawn on each barcode sticker published in the barcode sticker book 100, and is requested by the Internet access device 124. The multimedia content is extracted and provided through the Internet 130.

The user computer 120 executes a content driving program (not shown) to output the multimedia content received from the content providing server 140 to the user through the display 126 and / or the speaker 128.

According to Figure 2, the first embodiment of the learning providing method using a bar code sticker for automatic connection of multimedia content according to the present invention comprises the following processes.

First, barcode stickers are divided into subjects, users, subjects, books, etc. of corresponding multimedia contents, and barcode stickers books are made of foldable porous binders so that learners can easily attach / remove the desired sheets. do. In addition, the content providing server to build a database for storing the multimedia content corresponding to the bar code designed on each bar code sticker published in the bar code sticker book.

Thereafter, the learner removes the necessary bar code stickers from the distributed bar code sticker books and attaches them to the required locations of the off-line learning materials used by the learners, thereby constructing the multimedia learning materials.

The learner opens the multimedia learning textbook and places the barcode scanner on the attached barcode sticker to obtain the multimedia contents corresponding to the information presented by the learning textbook. S100).

Thereafter, the barcode scanner or the user computer analyzes the recognized barcode data to identify the content automatic access information (S110 and S120). The content automatic access information may be configured to include the content providing server name, the Internet access address of the multimedia content and the unique identification key, or may be index information for accessing them. When the content automatic access information is index information, the content providing server name and the Internet access address and the unique identification key of the multimedia content are obtained in a predetermined manner using the index information, and the method is averaged in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. Various methods known to the knowledgeable person can all be used. In this case, when the user computer fails to identify the corresponding content automatic access information, an error message is output and the multimedia content search process for the corresponding barcode scanner is terminated (S160).

Thereafter, when the user computer is not connected to the Internet, the user accesses the Internet and requests the multimedia content corresponding to the content providing server using the content providing server name, the Internet access address and the unique identification key of the multimedia content (S130). The content providing server retrieves the requested multimedia content from the database by using a unique identification key and transmits it to the user computer through the Internet.

The user computer receives the multimedia content from the content providing server and outputs it to the user through the display and the speaker (S140, S150).

Those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can easily understand that such a process may be performed with the help of existing web browser and media player programs, or may be performed by a separate internet access program and a content driving program. Could be.
