Here, the technology of extracting and recognizing a word and a sentence from a database in which predetermined words and sentences are stored by converting and analyzing the input voice signal is a well-known technique that is generally used in the speech recognition technology, and thus detailed technical description thereof is omitted. Let's do it.

As such, through the configuration of the learner input unit 160 including the key input unit 161 and the voice input control unit 162, the greeting, the sub-study information, or the incubation environment, is routine for a character corresponding to the hatching column 10. Ask questions about the controls associated with the adjustment of the elements.

The hatching information display unit 170 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is mounted on one side of the case 110 and according to the control signal of the microcontroller 150, the state of the current hatching environment element and the hatching environment element.

Accordingly, the hatching information display unit 170 may output an image or a voice for a predetermined character related to the answer information through the screen window 172 or the speaker 174.

Next, the operation principle of the learning incubator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, when a plurality of hatching eggs 10 arbitrarily selected by a learner are seated in the seating groove 113 of the seating plate 112, the seating detection sensor 123 of the sensor unit 120 is for each seating groove 113. The seated hatch eggs 10 are detected and transmitted to the microcontroller 150.

Here, the microcontroller 150 recognizes the spawning date from the time inputted by each seating groove 113 and checks the timing thereafter, so that the hatching progress state and the hatching of each hatching column 10 seated by the seating groove 113 are determined. Information about a predetermined date and time may be determined. Alternatively, each incubation column 10 may be determined based on scattering date information for each incubation column 10 separately input according to a learner input signal input through the learner input unit 160. Information on hatching progress status and hatching scheduled date and time can be determined.

Here, the learner inputs individual information such as an alias or reference desired by each incubation column 10 seated in the seating groove 113 through the learner input unit 160 to incubation column information DB 143 (10) can store individual information, the micro-controller 150 displays the individual information on the alias and the reference stored when displaying the information on the hatching column 10 in the hatching information display unit 170 Can enhance the learning effect.

As described above, after the incubation column 10 is seated, if the type of the incubation column 10, the setting contents for the incubation element, the learner individual information, etc. are input through the learner input unit 160, the corresponding information is provided in the database unit. Stored on the 140, the microcontroller 150 reads the information on the optimal incubation environment corresponding to the set in the incubation information DB 141 of the database unit 140, the temperature determined according to the pre-programmed matter In addition, the hatching environment control unit 130 is controlled to maintain the constant humidity at all times, and operates the egg chamber 10 by the appropriate period for each type of hatching egg 10 to operate the egg egg 10 to egg.

More specifically, the microcontroller 150 is based on the optimal temperature and humidity information stored in the incubation information DB 141, from the temperature sensor 121 and the humidity sensor 122 of the sensor unit 120 When the present temperature and humidity are compared with each other and the present temperature and humidity are relatively low, the heating device 131 and the spraying device 133 of the incubating environment control unit 130 are driven to hatch the chamber 116. Increasing the temperature and humidity in the interior, when the current temperature and humidity is relatively high by driving the exhaust fan 135 to allow the outside air having a relatively low temperature and humidity to enter the inside of the case 110 The temperature and humidity of the hatching chamber 116 are controlled to fall.

In addition, the microcontroller 150, through the incubation information display unit 170, when the temperature value or humidity value information outside the appropriate allowance value is recognized based on the sensing information transmitted from the sensor unit 120 is recognized. Warning images, warning texts, warning sounds and warning lights can be used to inform learners of abnormal situations.

That is, when the floodlight cover 115 is not properly mounted or damaged on the upper cover 111, and the internal temperature and humidity control is not properly performed, the learner is informed that the learner has an abnormality in the learning incubator. It is possible to ensure that appropriate measures are taken.

On the other hand, the learning incubator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, while the state of the incubation element in the incubation chamber 116 is properly controlled by the microcontroller 150, the character corresponding to each incubation column 10 Is displayed on the screen window 172, and is provided so that learning about the incubation process and emotional exchange with the character are made through information exchange in a form of dialogue with the character. 160) "Hello?" When a term corresponding to a daily greeting is input, as shown in FIG. 3, the microcontroller 150 of the answer information stored in the emotion information DB 144 of the database unit 140 may say “hello?” By reading the response information corresponding to the term appropriately, the term "Jongseok Ah ~ Hello?" Is displayed on the screen window 172 or transmitted to the voice through the speaker 174. Here, the microcontroller 150 reads the learner's name information stored in the learner information DB 142 to include the output information in the output information.

Also, learners aren't "hot?" In case of inputting a term related to the state of the incubation environment element, the microcontroller 150 compares the present temperature information detected by the sensor unit 120 based on the optimal incubation environment information and displays a relatively high value. As in the drawing, "I think it's a bit hot ~ Can you cool it?" For example, the terminology that guides the proper control of the current incubation element is output.

Therefore, when a learner inputs a learner input signal for a setting item that can drive the exhaust fan 135 for a predetermined time through the learner input unit 160, the microcontroller 150 exhausts the exhaust based on the learner input signal. A control signal capable of driving the fan 135 is output to control the exhaust fan 135 to be driven for a predetermined time.

As such, the emotional information DB (144) includes a greeting for the learner to talk about the incubation process or a conversation about the incubation information divided by the degree of understanding of the learner and the state of the current incubation environment element so that the learner can have a conversation or everyday conversation. The relevant answer information is stored in detail, so that the emotional incubation with the corresponding incubation (10) is made. In addition, it is possible to induce the learner's continuous interest and interest by giving hints related to necessary controls according to the state of the current incubation environment and allowing the learner to take appropriate measures.

By instructing each function and function of the learning incubator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention as described above, by detecting the current incubation elements inside the incubator, such as temperature, humidity, and egg transfer, incubation for the optimal incubation environment stored in advance for each incubation column It is automatically adjusted to meet the information can minimize the hatching of the embryo in the incubation process, and the time to be seated by detecting whether the hatching egg 10 is seated in the hatching chamber 116 through the seating detection sensor 123 By counting, the hatching progress state and the hatching scheduled date and time for each incubation column 10 to determine the output to the hatching information display unit 170 can learn easily.

In addition, the learning information on the current incubation status corresponding to each incubation process is inputted and stored in a database in advance, and the hatching learning information suitable for each incubation process necessary when the learner requests is displayed in various ways such as voice, image, and text. Since it can be provided to maximize the learning effect, as well as to detect the current incubation environmental conditions of the incubation environment is less than or exceeds the optimal incubation environment range, to display to the learner through the hatching information display unit 170 as a learner By inducing the appropriate actions (controlling the incubation environment), it is possible to induce learners' participation in the incubation process and provide the effect of personally learning about the appropriate range for the optimal incubation environment.

Then, a character representing the entire incubation column 10 or a character distinguished for each incubation column 10 is assigned, and predetermined terms (words and sentences) of the learner input through the key input unit 161 or the microphone 163. Conversational control of daily greetings, side-study information, or appropriate actions needed for the hatching process, can be produced in conversational format, allowing the learner to induce continued interest and interest in side-by-side learning. Emotional exchange with the column 10 can be implemented to effect.
