The controller 160 may maintain a database 110 in which learner information and instructor information are stored (S310). The instructor information and the learner information may be information (eg, nationality, human information, etc.) stored by the learner or the instructor at the time of registration, or information generated by factors that occurred after the fact (evaluation information, level information, etc.) It may be.

The checker 120 may check the current call state of the instructor registered in the database 110. Checking whether the current call of the instructor is possible may be performed through a communication traffic state of the instructor terminal 300 (for example, whether a call is currently being made) or may be performed through the instructor display of the instructor received through the instructor terminal 300. It may be. The intention indication of the instructor may be registered in advance, or may be registered through the call state indication at the time when the instructor can call.

When the instructor information available for the current call is identified through the checker 120, the transmitter 140 may provide information of the instructor who is currently available to the caller to the mobile terminal 200 of the learner (S320).

4 is a diagram illustrating a screen on which lecturer information available for a call is currently output;

As shown, the education providing server 100 may provide a list 410 of instructor information currently available to the student's mobile terminal 200. The illustrated instructor information may include the instructor's photo, name, gender, nationality, interests, instructor grade, instructor's location, spoken language, and the like.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method of providing callable instructor information may be provided by extracting only the instructor who is currently available to call, and providing the extracted instructor information or providing the instructor information stored in the database 110, but the current call. If possible, instructors may be identified and provided.

When the receiver 130 receives a user input for selecting a specific instructor from the learner's mobile terminal 200 (S330, for example, selects a “confirmation” menu in the call item at 410), the controller 160 may determine the above. A specific instructor may be controlled to be connected to the mobile terminal 200 of the selected learner and the terminal 200 of the selected instructor (S340). Therefore, the participant or instructor can make a call without knowing the other party's phone number.

In addition, the controller 160 may control the call connection to be connected through a wireless Internet telephone. Wireless Internet calls can save callers or lecturers. The call may include a voice call and a video call. In addition, the call may include a multi-party call as well as a one-to-one call.

On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the education providing server 100 may provide instructor information to the mobile terminal 200 of the learner connected through a specific application. The specific application is a means for conveniently accessing the education providing server 100.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing education information through the education providing server 100 through a specific application.

First, the learner's mobile terminal 200 may drive a specific application (S510). The specific application may be provided by the education providing server 100 or may be provided by a specific application server (not shown).

When the application is driven, the learner's mobile terminal 200 may receive the learner's identification information (for example, learner ID and password) from the learner and transmit it to the education providing server 100 through the specific application.

When the education providing server 100 receives identification information of the learner through the specific application, the education providing server 100 may provide education information related to the learner through the specific application.

The education information is education-related content (for example, when the learner is level 1, education content corresponding to the level 1, education content written in the corresponding language of the country considering the access area). , A list of recommended instructors (e.g., a list of instructors extracted based on the level of the learner, the field of preference, etc.), statistical information (e.g., main talk time, average talk time, preferred teacher, education level, class history) / Recording of a previous call, etc.).

On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the learner requests the learner, the education providing server 100 may provide training information (including the current instructor information available), the training information (current call) at predetermined time intervals (Including possible instructor information). In addition, the training providing server 100 may provide the training information (including the instructor information available for the current call) when a specific event occurs (for example, when the instructor's preferred instructor registers as available for call).

Even in this case, when the learner selects a specific instructor through the learner's mobile terminal 200, the controller 160 allows the learner's mobile terminal 200 and the selected instructor's terminal 300 to be connected through a wireless Internet phone. Can be controlled.

In addition, the education providing server 100 may provide a personal page of the learner through the specific application.

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen on which a student's personal page is output through a specific application.

As illustrated, the recommended instructor information 610 may be displayed on the personal page of the learners in consideration of the learner information among the instructors currently available to call. For example, the education providing server 100 may recommend the instructor in consideration of the learner's preference (eg, male instructor preference, American English pronunciation), the course history (eg, a specific instructor and this call history), and the like. Of course, the personal page of the learner may include a menu 620 to check other instructor information in addition to the recommended instructor information.

In addition, the learner's personal page may further include statistical information 630 in which the learner has been trained through the education provision server 100. The statistical information 630 may include a main call time zone, an average call time, a level, a previous call listening menu, and the like. By providing a menu for listening to a previous call, participants can review what they have been taught.

On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the education providing server 100 may receive an evaluation for a specific instructor from the student's mobile terminal 200. For example, a student who has received language training through a call with a specific instructor may input a rating for the specific instructor through the specific application. The education providing server 100 may determine the grade of the instructor based on the evaluation of the input instructor. In addition, students can check the grade of the instructor or the evaluation of the instructor through the application.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the education providing server 100 may form a specific group by grouping the learners based on the learner information. The education provision server 100 may provide specific education content suitable for the characteristics of the specific group.

7 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a specific group is formed.

As shown, the specific group may be a learner group following a specific instructor or a learner group following a specific keyword. In the present specification, following refers to forming a network around a specific object (eg, a specific instructor or a specific keyword). Therefore, you can group students who follow instructor A or group students who follow keyword B. Therefore, the education providing server 100 may transmit the MP3 file of the American drama to the terminal of the group of students following the keyword "American drama".

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the settlement unit 150 may settle the costs associated with providing the training with the learner or lecturer. For example, the settlement unit 150 may charge an educated learner (eg, a learner who speaks with a specific instructor) or a learner who wants to be educated.

In addition, the settlement unit 150 may process a portion of the amount charged from the learner to be deposited into the account of the instructor. In this case, the settlement unit 150 may deposit a part of the charged amount into the instructor's account after confirming that the instructor has normally communicated with the instructor.

In addition, the education providing server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may recognize and verify a voice of a student or a lecturer.

8 is a block diagram of an education providing server 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Education providing server 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention is a database 810, check unit 820, receiving unit 830, information providing unit 840, evaluation score calculation unit 850 and the control unit 860 It includes.

The database 810 stores learner information and instructor information. The instructor information may store lecture information about the instructor or evaluation information quantified. In particular, the instructor information may store the evaluation information for each group of students. The group of participants can be classified according to various criteria. For example, a group of participants may be classified according to the age of the learner, the education level of the learner, the nationality of the learner, the subject of the learner's interest, the location information of the learner, and the language the learner wants to learn.

The checker 820 checks whether the instructor stored in the database 810 can make a call at the present time. The process of checking whether the instructor can be called may be performed by checking the communication traffic state of the instructor terminal or by displaying the intention received through the instructor terminal. In FIG. 8, the instructor registers his / her available call time in advance. It is assumed that the check unit 820 confirms this.

The receiver 830 may receive evaluation information about the instructor and a user input for selecting an instructor from the user's terminal 200.

The information provider 840 may transmit predetermined information to the terminal 200 or the instructor terminal 300 of the learner. For example, the information provider 840 transmits information about a lecturer who is currently available to call to the terminal 200. At this time, the evaluation score for the currently available instructor is transmitted to the terminal 200.

The evaluation score calculation unit 850 calculates an evaluation score for the currently available instructor. The evaluation score calculator 850 may calculate the evaluation score for the instructor based on at least one of the evaluation score for each group of students, the average talk time, and the call success rate.

For example, the evaluation score calculation unit 850 may calculate a comprehensive evaluation score for the instructor by identifying a student group to which the student belongs and assigning a higher weight to the evaluation score for evaluating the corresponding teacher in the student group to which the student belongs. . In this case, the instructor's comprehensive evaluation score may vary depending on which group the learner belongs to, even in the same instructor. Depending on the instructor's major, age, or gender, the instructor may not be preferred to one group of students for another group. In one embodiment of the present invention reflects such a situation to increase the probability that the learner can select the desired instructor by calculating the comprehensive evaluation score for the instructor using the evaluation score for each group of students.

The evaluation score calculation unit 850 may calculate a comprehensive evaluation score for the corresponding instructor based on the average talk time between the instructor and the learners. It is common to talk longer when speaking with a lecturer's favorite instructor, and shorter when talking with an instructor who is not preferred. Accordingly, the evaluation score calculation unit 850 calculates a comprehensive evaluation score for the corresponding instructor as the average call time is longer, and calculates a lower comprehensive evaluation score for the instructor as the average call time is shorter.

The evaluation score calculator 850 may calculate a comprehensive evaluation score for the corresponding instructor based on the call success rate. In an embodiment of the present invention, the instructor sets a callable time to the instructor so that the instructor can provide an infrastructure for calling the desired instructor at the desired time. The checker 112 described above checks the list of instructors who are currently available to talk on the basis of the available talk time set by the instructor. However, if the instructor continues to fail in the call connection time set by the instructor themselves, the student's satisfaction and reliability are greatly reduced. Therefore, the evaluation score calculation unit 850 calculates a comprehensive evaluation score for the corresponding instructor as the call success rate is higher, and lowers a comprehensive evaluation score for the instructor as the call success rate is low.

A detailed description of the evaluation score calculation unit 850 will be described later with reference to FIG. 9.

The controller 860 organically controls the overall functions performed by the database 810, the checker 820, the receiver 830, the information provider 840, and the evaluation score calculator 850. 200 and the instructor terminal 300 controls the call connection through the wireless Internet phone.

9 is a block diagram of an evaluation score calculator 850 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The evaluation score calculation unit 850 includes an evaluation score calculation unit 851, an average call time calculation unit 852, a call success rate calculation unit 853, a conversation content storage unit 854, and a voice analysis unit 855. And comprehensive score calculation 856.

Evaluation score calculation for each group of learners (851) calculates the evaluation score for the instructor for each group to which the students belong.

First, the evaluation score calculation unit 851 for each student group receives feedback on the evaluation score for the lecturer from the learner who spoke with the lecturer.

Next, the evaluation score calculation unit 851 for each student group obtains identification information about the learner who provided the evaluation score, and reads information about the corresponding learner stored in the database 810 using the identification information.

Lastly, the evaluation score calculation unit 851 for each student group checks the group to which the learner belongs based on the information about the learner and updates the evaluation score for each lecturer group for the corresponding instructor.

The average talk time calculation unit 852 calculates an average talk time of at least one learner who speaks with the instructor.

The average call time calculation unit 852 receives a call start time from the controller 860 when a call is connected between the learner and the instructor. In addition, the average call time calculation unit 852 receives a call end time from the controller 860 when a call between the learner and the lecturer ends. The average talk time calculation unit 852 calculates the talk time using the talk end time and the talk start time, and updates the average talk time for the instructor. The average talk time calculation unit 852 may weight a talk time with a recently talked participant or calculate an average talk time based only on a predetermined number of recent talks. In addition, the average talk time calculation unit 852 may calculate the average talk time for each user group.

The call success rate calculation unit 853 calculates a call success rate for the instructor. The call success rate calculation unit 853 checks whether the call between the learners and the instructor is successful from the controller 860, and updates the call success rate for the corresponding instructor according to the success. The call success rate calculation unit 853 may weight a call with a recent caller or calculate a call success rate based only on a predetermined number of recent calls. In addition, the call success rate calculation unit 853 may calculate a call success rate for each user group.

The conversation content storage unit 854 stores the conversation content between the learner and the instructor. Stored conversations can be archived for a period of time (eg, a week).

Stored conversation content can be used for various purposes.

For example, the stored conversation content may be used to evaluate the education level of the learner. The instructor or other instructor who speaks to the participant listens to the conversation and determines one or more criteria (eg pronunciation, grammar, fluency, etc.) to determine the student's level of education. In particular, the level of education for each subject may be determined based on the contents of the conversation. Similarly, stored conversations may be used to calculate an assessment score for an instructor.

As another example, the stored conversation contents may be transmitted to the terminal of the learner or the learner's group and used as educational materials. Conversations sent to the learner's terminal may be supplemented by instructors (such as important phrases or misrepresentations in the conversation).

As another example, the stored conversation may be used to generate penalty information for the learner or instructor. By comparing the dialogue content with the voice signal generated by pronouncing the prohibited word, it is determined whether the prohibited content includes the prohibited word. Or, by analyzing the characteristics of the frequency, amplitude, frequency, etc. of the sound generated when playing the dialogue content, it is possible to determine the mood of the instructor and generate the penalty information by reflecting this.

The voice analyzer 855 analyzes the stored conversation. The voice analyzer 855 may determine whether there is a forbidden term in the conversation content, or determine the education level by checking the pronunciation of the learner or the instructor. The voice analyzer 855 may analyze a conversation content in various ways. As an example, a reference voice in which a prohibited term is pronounced may be stored, and the reference voice may be compared with conversation contents. However, the voice analysis unit 855 may determine that there is a forbidden term in the contents of the conversation only when there is a request from the learner or the instructor. The speech analyzer 855 may penalize the learner or the instructor when there is a prohibited term in the conversation.

The comprehensive score calculation unit 856 calculates a comprehensive evaluation score for the instructor in consideration of at least one of an evaluation score for each participant group, an average talk time, a call success rate, and a penalty. The comprehensive evaluation score for the instructor may be calculated based on Equation 1 below.

[Equation 1]

Overall Score = A * (Average Talk Time) + B * (Evaluation Score by Student Group) + C * (Call Success Rate)

In Equation 1, A, B, and C may be set or changed by an administrator as a weight for an item for calculating a comprehensive evaluation score.

The evaluation score for each student group may vary depending on the group to which the learner receives the instructor information. For example, an evaluation score of a group to which a learner to receive instructor information belongs may be assigned a first weight, and an evaluation score of a group not belonging to the learner may be assigned a second weight to calculate an evaluation score for each group of learners.

As a result, the evaluation score for each group of students can be calculated according to the following equation (2).

[Equation 2]

B * (Evaluation score by group of learners) = B1 * (Evaluation score of group by learners) + B2 * (Evaluation score of group not by learners)

Hereinafter, a process of calculating an evaluation score for each student group will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.

10 illustrates an example of an evaluation score for each student group according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The group of participants is divided according to age, education level, and place of residence.

Specifically, it is divided into 5 groups of less than 10, 10, 20, 30, 40 or more according to age, and divided into 6 groups of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 according to the education level. Depending on the region of residence, it can be divided into four groups: Korea, USA, Japan, and China. Therefore, participants are in one of 5 * 6 * 4 = 120 groups.

For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the learner A who receives the instructor information is a teenager living in Korea and the education level is 6, and the learner B who receives the instructor information is a 20 generation living in Korea and the education level is 6. In addition, it is assumed that a weighting value of 3 is assigned to the evaluation score evaluated in the group to which the learner belongs, and a weighting value of 1 is assigned to the evaluation score evaluated in the group to which the student does not belong.

The score for each group of learners for student A is (4.7 + 6.5 * 3 + 8.0 + 9.5 + 9.5) /7=7.3.

On the other hand, the student group's evaluation score for student B is (4.7 + 6.5 + 8.0 * 3 + 9.5 + 9.5) /7=7.7.

Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation score for the same instructor may be provided differently to learner A and learner B.

11 illustrates an example of a list of call instructors provided to a terminal of a learner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 11A is a list of call instructors provided to the terminal of the learner A of FIG. 10, and FIG. 11B is a list of call instructors provided to the terminal of the learner B of FIG. 10. In FIG. 11, the instructor grade is calculated based on the comprehensive evaluation score for the instructor. David and Jane are recommended for attendees A and B, but David's instructor rating for attendee A and David's instructor rating for attendee B are different. This is because the evaluation scores of David are different in the student group to which student A belongs and the student group B to which student B belongs.

12 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing education according to another embodiment of the present invention.

In step S1210, a database in which learner information and instructor information are stored is maintained. Evaluation information about the instructor is stored in the database, and in particular, the evaluation information may be classified and stored for each student group. Participant groups may be classified according to the level of education of the participant, the age of the participant, the gender of the participant, and the region where the participant resides.

In operation S1220, the mobile terminal of the first learner and the terminal of the instructor selected by the first learner are controlled to make a call connection through a wireless Internet telephone.

In operation S1230, evaluation information regarding the selected lecturer is received from the first student.

Can be. The second terminal may be the same as or different from the first terminal. For example, the first terminal of the learner may be a mobile terminal of the learner, and the second terminal of the learner may be a PC of the learner. In another embodiment, both the first terminal and the second terminal of the learner may be the mobile terminal of the learner.

The application mounted on the second terminal of the instructor may notify the user through an alarm or display the information on the display device when information is received from the transmitter 1350.

The transmission unit 1350 may transmit various information to the second terminal of the instructor or the learner. The transmitter 1350 transmits the information stored in the database 1310 by the learner to the second terminal of the instructor, transmits the information stored in the database 1310 by the instructor to the second terminal of the learner, or the second part of the learner. The application mounted on the terminal communicates directly with the application mounted on the second terminal of the instructor, or the information to be shared by the education providing server 100 or the education service provider is transmitted to the second terminal of the learner and the instructor in advance. When requesting a call with the instructor, the information may be displayed by an application mounted on the second terminal of the learner and the instructor.

In the case of community services or educational services for telephone calls, it may be necessary to share information with the other party. In particular, when the learner wants to receive the education service by phone call with the instructor, information such as educational materials must be shared. Conventionally, in order for learners and lecturers to share information, the information must be transmitted to the other party in advance, or the site information on which the information is posted must be shared. In this case, since the call connection and the communication connection for sharing information are performed independently, the steps required for the sharing of information are complicated and time-consuming. However, as shown in the present invention, information sharing is easily performed by automatically transmitting the information registered in advance by the learner or the instructor to the learner or the instructor's PC or a smartphone.
