When described in detail with reference to Figures 1 to 4 as follows.

First, when the digital learning apparatus 100 is in the initial standby mode by pressing the power key 19, the controller 130 displays a 'DE' alphabet code indicating the English version in the basic learning mode and various kinds of information initially set. (150).

The learner can select the detailed items such as the Bible, the tutorial, and the workbook even in the learning mode by using the mode setting key (5).

Thereafter, while the learner version code is blinking, the learner inputs the code indexed in the book, chapter, section or page of the book to be studied and the question or the learning medium using the numeric key 11.

In the code indexed on the learning medium, the code corresponding to the learning area is "1: word / idiom, 2: short sentence, 3: single sentence, 4: long finger, 5: commentary, 6: problem solving, 7 · 8 · 9 · 0 It is predefined like "Other" and can be defined differently when working with the initial learning contents.

For example, if the learner selects the workbook as a detail item and inputs the code 'DE236', it is for learning the 36th sentence of the English short learning, and if the 'DC69999' code is input, it is for learning the Chinese 9999th problem.

In addition, in order to reproduce Exodus 15: 6 of the Bible, the student selects the Bible as a detail item and enters the alphabet code DE followed by 02 (Exodus), 15 (chapter), and 06 (verse). .

In addition, in order for the learner to learn the question 5 on page 51 of the tutorial, select the tutorial as a detail item and enter the codes 051 (page) and 005 (question) after the alphabet code DE. The number of code digits after the alphabetic code can be changed at any time to suit the environment of the tutorial.

When the play key 1 is selected after the digital index code is input as described above, the play unit 140 reads the learning data corresponding to the input digital index code from the storage unit 110 under the control of the controller 130. To play. The learning data reproduced by the reproducing unit 140 can be listened to through an output means such as an earphone or a speaker 160 connected to the earphone connector 25.

Meanwhile, when another function key is selected by the learner while the learning data is being reproduced, the controller 130 controls the entire digital learning apparatus according to the corresponding function key. Therefore, the learner can perform more effective learning, which will be described later.

On the other hand, if the learner needs to reset the input code value, such as incorrectly entering or correcting the digital index code, the cancel key 13 may be selected. Then, the controller 130 deletes the digital index code previously input, and controls the entire system so that the correct learning code can be input through the re-input operation.

The same applies to the cancel key 13 when the learning area is to be switched.

Subsequently, when the digital index code is input by the learner, the controller 130 controls the playback unit 140 to reproduce the learning data corresponding to the selected digital index code, and the reproduced learning data is output through an earphone or the like. do.

At this time, the learner selects the play / pause key (1), the play stop key (2), the information step forward / continuous next information search key (3), the information step backward / continuous previous information search key (4), and the like. The controller 130 may conveniently use a desired learning function such as pausing the currently playing learning data according to a function key, stopping playback, retrieving information step forward / continuous next information, and retrieving information step backward / continuous previous information. do.

On the other hand, while the learner is learning, the learning data can be converted into another foreign language and reproduced. When the learner selects the multilanguage conversion key 17 while learning, the controller 130 recognizes this and sequentially outputs the types of multilanguage to the display unit 150.

That is, when the learner selects the multilingual conversion key 17, the controller 130 according to the sequential search method E (English)-K (Korean)-J (Japanese)-C (Chinese)-S (Spain)-F Initialized multilingual initials such as (French) -G (Germany) -I (Italian) are displayed sequentially.

In this case, the learner may shortly press the multilanguage conversion key 17 to select one of the multilanguages output on the display unit 150, or may press and hold the multilanguage conversion key 17 to select to play sequentially.

Then, the playback unit 140 reads out and reproduces the learning data stored in the foreign language from the storage unit 110 under the control of the controller 130, wherein the learning data is preferably produced in one or more foreign languages.

The learning data reproduced according to the multilingual conversion is the same as the learning area of the previously reproduced language.

On the other hand, the learner can repeatedly play the learning data currently being played for a certain learning area, or record his pronunciation and then compare with the original sound to maximize the learning efficiency.

First, when a learner inputs a digital index code using the numeric key 11, the digital index code input at a predetermined position of the display unit 150 is displayed. Next, when the learner presses the play / pause key 1, the play unit 140 continuously reproduces the learning data corresponding to the digital index code from the learning data thereafter under the control of the control unit 130. To start.

At this time, the learner can designate the repetition frequency of the learning data. If the learner inputs the number of repetitions using the numeric key 11 while the corresponding learning data is being reproduced, the controller 130 automatically repeats the repetition of the learning data that is currently played and the learning data that is subsequently played. The playback unit 140 is controlled to control the playback unit 140.

Thus, the learner can change the number of repetitions at any time to suit his or her level.

In addition, even when the learning data is being played, if the learner presses the repetition designation key 9, the control unit 130 controls the playback unit 140 to stop and then play back only the learning data for the digital index code currently being reproduced. do.

The repetition designation key 9 makes it possible to learn to listen and follow a language very effectively. To repeat the reproduction of the learning data of the same digital index code, the repetition designation key 9 is pressed again.

If you press the repeat button (9), it becomes the automatic step learning setting (STEP STUDY), and the learner searches using the information step forward / continuous next information search key (3) and the information step backward / continuous previous information search key (4). A learning data is also played once and then stopped.

When the learner presses the playback stop key 2 to change the mode or the learning method, the controller 130 controls to immediately stop playback in the state in which the digital index code finally played on the display unit 150 is displayed.

On the other hand, when the learner selects the range designation repeat key 8, the controller 130 controls the playback unit 140 to repeatedly play the learning range designated by the learner.

That is, when the learner selects the code for the range designation and the number of repetitions using the range designation repeat key 8 in the learning mode state, the playback unit 140 reads the learning data designated by the learner from the storage unit 110. To play the selected number of times repeatedly.

For example, when the learner specifies the range as 'DE321-DE39871', the playback unit 140 reads only the 21st to 9871th sentences of the English-only sentence learning from the storage unit 110 and sets the number of repetitions. Play as many times as you want.

Meanwhile, the digital learning apparatus 100 according to the present invention records its pronunciation and compares it with the original sound to provide a comparative learning about the pronunciation. When the learner presses the pronunciation comparison recording key 7 after listening to the learning data in the learning mode, the controller 130 switches the digital learning apparatus 100 to the recording mode.

In addition, when a learner inputs his or her voice through an input unit 120 such as a microphone (not shown) or a built-in microphone 27 connected to the headset and the high performance microphone connector 24 of the digital learning apparatus 100, the controller 130 ) Stores the learner's voice signal (pronounced sound) in the storage unit 110. At this time, the controller 130 displays the recorded time and the recording address on the display 150.

After that, when the learner selects the play key 1, the controller 130 controls the play unit 140 to sequentially play the original sound of the learning data and the recorded learner's voice signal (pronounce), so that the learner compares the pronunciation. Let them learn while

In this way, a plurality of pronunciations can be stored and compared for the same learning data. That is, the controller 130 records the learner's pronunciation about 10 times in order of listening to the original sound / recording of the first learner's pronunciation and recording of the second learner's pronunciation again. Then, when the play key 1 is selected, the play unit 140 may maximize the learner's speaking practice by sequentially playing the recorded learner's pronunciation along with the original sound.

On the other hand, the digital learning apparatus 100 may record each answer for a plurality of learning data having different codes and sequentially play them.

That is, when the learner presses the conversational recording key 6 on the playing data being played, the controller 130 switches the digital learning apparatus 100 to the recording mode. After the learning data is reproduced, the voice signal input through the input unit 120 is recorded in the storage unit 110 for a predetermined time. Of course, the controller 130 also displays the recording time and recording address on the display unit 150 at this time.

Then, when the play key 1 is selected by the learner, the play unit 140 sequentially reads and reproduces the original sound and the recorded information from the storage unit 110 under the control of the controller 130.

For example, the first training data is' 1. When 'What's your name?' Is displayed, the student presses the conversational recording key (6). My name is Chul soo. 'Is recorded at the first address of the learning data response.

And '2.How old are you? After the learning data 'is played, the learner' 2. eight. ', the content is recorded at the second address of the learning data response. According to this process, the pronunciation of the learner according to the learning question is stored up to about 20 times in the storage unit 110.

Next, when the learner selects the play key 1, the controller 130 reproduces the learning data stored in the storage 110 in the order of the questions and the answers, so that the learner can maximize the efficiency of answering the question. .

In addition to the learning method using the microphone, the digital learning apparatus 100 inputs a call learning content with the counterpart in the state in which the telephone line is connected to the telephone recording connector 26 to the controller 130, and the controller 130 learns the call. One content may be stored in the storage 110.

The contents stored in the storage unit 110 can be reproduced by pressing the play key (1), it is possible to repeat the listening by specifying an arbitrary section.

On the other hand, using the mode setting key (5) it is very easy to change the digital learning apparatus 100 to the music listening mode. In the music listening mode, the playback unit 160 plays back music files such as MP3 or WMA stored in the storage unit 110 under the control of the controller 130. In this case, as in the above, only one piece of music may be repeatedly played using the function keys, or a repeating section may be set and played repeatedly.

The digital learning apparatus according to the present invention can be applied to digital devices such as PDAs, mobile phones, electronic monitor books, digital cameras, Internet video phones, and CD players, and provides learning data such as graphics and moving images as well as voice and text. can do.
