One embodiment of the present invention uses the block to make learning intrinsic from early childhood steam education. At this time, the act of constructing the block is basically a combination. As different types of blocks are added and removed, a whole new shape is created. However, there are limitations to the direction and movement, and infants accept these limitations and come up with strategies to find their own way. In addition, they find a new combination of strategies, moving away from the existing ones, attempting this and that, and seeing the results directly every moment. Repetition of identification and attempt develops cognitive ability of things. There is a block-type toy consisting of only a simple interface module, it is also used as a teaching aid by providing a variety of kits, in the present invention can fuse the software and hardware using a mobile device and the content interlocking block, the user can author content directly By doing so, the user can fill in the lack of the content interlocking block by themselves, and provide the interaction by providing the content update based thereon.

The combining unit 130 may combine the content pre-mapped and stored in the received identification tag based on the coordinates. For example, except that a block having a ☆ shape is present and a position to which the block should be located is specified in the board panel 500, the board panel 500 includes a coordinate at which the block is located and a position at the corresponding coordinate. It is necessary to distinguish the types of blocks so that it is possible to know what content is combined and how. Accordingly, the board panel 500 may distinguish the coordinates, the coordinates may be an RFID mesh, may be a touch panel, a combination of a reader or a sensor, or may include a node that can distinguish each coordinate. . Of course, various configurations can be used in addition to the above-described configuration.

The output unit 140 may output the combined content. At this time, the type of combination may vary. For example, when numbers and arithmetic operations are combined, the answer may be a combination of contents obtained by solving an equation. Alternatively, when combining vowels and consonants, outputting a word combining vowels and consonants may be combined content. Alternatively, when the blocks representing the scales are stacked, the content may be a combination of the scale chords, and when the blocks representing the scales are listed on the X and Y planes (as strings), the sound is output according to the order. May be combined content. Of course, various embodiments may exist without being limited to the above-described embodiments or embodiments, and it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.

In this case, the display device may be any display device, not the smart terminal 100, or may be a tablet using a personal portable mobile device or a common device. In addition, a separate display device may not be built in, and a personal mobile device that is currently being used may be used.

In this case, the smart terminal 100 may be formed in plural, and the plurality of smart terminals 100 may be interlocked through the cloud server 700. In this case, when the cloud server 700 receives the joint content generation request event from any one of the smart terminals 100, the cloud server 700 cooperates with another smart terminal 100 that has accepted the request event. Generate a combination of the content of one smart terminal 100 and the content of another smart terminal 100 by using a predetermined algorithm to combine the collaborative content into one of the smart terminal 100 and the other smart terminal 100. Can be transmitted in real time.

The stamp block 400 includes a first stamp block 400 and a second stamp block 400, and the first stamp block 400 is a block located on an upper surface of the board panel 500.

At this time, the stamp block 400 may include a reading sensor for scanning or reading the identification tag on the lower surface, and the identification tag of another stamp block 400 on the upper surface, the first stamp block 400 When the second stamp block 400 is stacked on its upper surface, the identification tag of the second stamp block 400 may be read or scanned and inserted into the header of its own identification code.

For example, suppose that blocks of A-B-C-D are sequentially stacked on the upper surface of the board panel 500. In this case, even if each of them is identified, if the stacking order is not identified, for example, if there is an operator corresponding to the stacking order or there is a content whose order is important, the corresponding content cannot be combined. Accordingly, C reads the identification tag of D and inserts D into the header of C (DC), B reads the identification tag of C and inserts the data (DC) of C into the header of B (DCB). , A may read B's identification tag and insert B's data (DCB) in the header of A (DCBA). Here, the piezoelectric sensor may be further included on the upper surface of the stamp block 400. The reason is that when each stamp block 400 starts reading at a time, it is not possible to distinguish which stamp block 400 is above or below. Therefore, the piezoelectric sensor is provided on the upper surface of the stamp block 400, and reading is sequentially performed from the highest block that receives the least pressure, so that not only the content combination according to the stacking itself (ABC) but also the stacking order (ABC) According to the content combination can also be achieved.

At this time, it is possible to insert the data into the last or the middle of the data instead of the header. If the board panel 500 knows in advance which part is to be inserted, the stacking order can be determined by decoding in the opposite manner to the inserting method. . In the above description, since the header is just one embodiment, it is obvious that the present invention may be configured differently according to the embodiment.

Accordingly, the present invention may be applied to a case in which Z, as well as blocks in one dimension, such as A, B, C, and D are stacked in the Z-axis direction as in ABCD, or when X, Y, and Z axes are stacked in three dimensions. It will be apparent that the method according to an embodiment of the present invention may be applied.

Block 400, at least one sensor for identifying the coordinate where the stamp block 400 is located is disposed on the upper surface, and by reading or scanning the identification tag of the stamp block 400 located at the coordinates to at least one stamp block ( Coordinated with the board panel 500, the board panel 500, or the stamp block 400 to identify the coordinates 400 and the stamp block 400 located in the coordinates, the stamp block 400 identified in the board panel 500 A smart terminal 100 that receives the coordinates and the identification tag where the) is located, combines the contents pre-mapped with the identification tag according to the arranged coordinates, and displays the result of the combination. It can hamhal.

At this time, the smart terminal 100 may be provided in plurality based on the number of users to use. In this case, when one of the plurality of smart terminals 100 receives the joint content generation request event from one of the smart terminals 100, a collaboration channel is generated with another smart terminal 100 that has accepted the request event, The cloud for combining the content of the smart terminal 100 and the content of the other smart terminal 100 with a predetermined algorithm to transmit the collaborative content to any one of the smart terminal 100 and another smart terminal 100 in real time Server 700 may be further provided.

In addition, the stamp block 400 may include a first stamp block 400 and a second stamp block 400, the first stamp block 400 is a block located on the upper surface of the board panel 500 The second stamp block 400 may be a block stacked on an upper surface of the first stamp block 400. In addition, the stamp block 400 includes a reading sensor that scans or reads an identification tag on its lower surface and an identification tag of another stamp block 400 on its upper surface, and the first stamp block 400 includes a second sensor. When the stamp block 400 is stacked on the upper surface, the identification tag of the second stamp block 400 may be read or scanned and inserted into the header of its own identification code.

The board panel 500 reads the identification code of the identification tag from the first stamp block 400, reads the data inserted in the header of the identification code, and is stacked on the upper surface of the first stamp block 400. The second stamp block 400 may be identified, and a position where the second stamp block 400 is stacked may be identified as an upper surface of the first stamp block 400. In addition, the at least one stamp block 400 may form an array of one or three dimensions.

In this case, the at least one stamp block 400 may include a content stamp corresponding to the content and a function stamp corresponding to a tool for combining the content. In this case, the function stamp may correspond one-to-one or one-to-many with a method of combining contents.

In addition, the toy platform server or another server operating in conjunction with the server according to an embodiment of the present invention can be continuously updated to provide a variety of content, and at the same time, the continuous update of the various content itself may be a burden, The user may be made redistributable through direct editing and modification. To this end, a user authoring tool and a content store can be used, which can be designed to efficiently communicate between the device and the web DB through metadata by using a single platform server.

Accordingly, by creating a service format, a user may have a form of distributing through editorial editing of some elements, thereby allowing the content to be easily and conveniently extended.

In addition, in order to maximize the user's convenience, the battery charging method can be used to secure mobility, and in the case of content downloaded in advance through broadband communication such as Wi-Fi, the internal short-range communication can be used to play the game only through Bluetooth. The configuration of the host server can be added. This makes it easy to run the game anytime and anywhere and communicate with physical blocks for easy simultaneous play.

Through this application, physical and virtual objects are mapped to each other and applied to game play. Content data required for the game is applied to a resource of each game in one format, and even if the user downloads and applies the content edited and authored, it can be made in a format that can manage the data so that there is no duplication in the data.

This allows natural and comfortable access from the point where the user encounters the content to the stage of executing and evaluating the content, and can be implemented with a direct and simple interface to naturally correspond to the real and virtual. Accordingly, as described above, the block ID-user ID-game content individual elements may be managed through one host server to increase usability, and may be configured to be easily managed within the same AP.

In addition, an embodiment of the present invention may implement an authoring method through freely constituent content of a block, and implement a block setting method utilizing short-range wireless communication such as NFC at runtime. These works can be shared with other children and provided with a content store through a shared platform to experience sociality. You can change the attributes directly on the mobile so that children can easily recognize, and configure the user interface to be visible. This can have the same effect as changing the properties of the physical block.

According to the above-described embodiment, by collectively managing the authoring-gameplay-store content using the platform and having a fluid structure, children continuously edit and modify the game to create a game, and also share it through the store. It will have a basic structure that allows it to be distributed. The usability of features is strongly structural throughout, from physical blocks to the App Store.
