In various embodiments, the electronic device may be flexible or a combination of two or more of the various devices described above. The electronic device according to the embodiment of the present document is not limited to the above-described devices. In this document, the term user may refer to a person using an electronic device or a device using an electronic device (eg, an artificial intelligence electronic device).

1 is a flowchart illustrating a self-directed learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The self-directed learning method of FIG. 1 may be an operation implemented after a user executes a specific application of the electronic device, or implemented on the executed application, or with the executed application.

Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic device recognizes a designated motion provided from a user (S10). Here, the method in which the user's designated motion is input to the electronic device may vary. The user may perform a finger operation (eg, pull, pull, drag, one or more consecutive touches) on the display of the electronic device. Alternatively, the user may perform a predetermined operation in front of the camera of the electronic device (for example, a hand from top to bottom, a hand from bottom to top, a head nodding or waving). Alternatively, the user may speak a designated command through the microphone of the electronic device. Alternatively, the user may perform a sensor-recognizable operation (for example, in the case of a tactile sensor, a light touch of a hand on the tactile sensor) to the sensor of the electronic device, but is not limited thereto.

Subsequently, after the electronic device recognizes a user's designated motion, a first hint message corresponding to the first video is provided during a first time of loading and loading a first video from an external server (S20 ). After the first hint message is provided (that is, after the first time required for loading ends), the first video is played (S30).

Here, the external server may be a server managed by another administrator, not a server managing the application being executed. For example, the external server may be a server (streaming video server) that provides a video in a streaming manner, for example, streaming providing YouTube, Facebook, and Samsung VR sites. It may be a video server, but is not limited thereto.

In order to load and load the first video from the external server, loading time is required. In the general case, this loading time is the user's waiting time. Therefore, if the waiting time is long, the user becomes dissatisfied and deviates from the running application. However, in the self-directed learning method according to some embodiments of the present invention, the user provides the first hint message for the first time by providing the first hint message corresponding to the first video to be played during the loading time (the first time). The contents of the first video are predicted in advance.

Here, the first hint message is not stored in the external server. The first hint message may be stored in the application or may be stored in the management server of the application. Accordingly, the loading time of the first hint message is hardly required. The time taken to load the first hint message may be very short compared to the loading time of the first video. In order to shorten the loading time of the first hint message in this way, the capacity of the first hint message is small, for example, text, a relatively small character/shape, and a relatively short sound/voice sound may be used.

The first hint message may have various forms. For example, the first video may be content for use as an educational material. When the first video includes a foreign language, the native language subtitle/foreign language subtitle of the first video may be stored in the execution application (ie, in the electronic device) or in the management server of the execution application (memory of FIG. 13) (240, see the application management server 280 of Figure 14). In this case, the first hint message may be subtitles of at least a part of the first video. Alternatively, the first hint message may be at least a part of a foreign language subtitle of the first video. Optionally, when the first hint message is a foreign language subtitle, a part of the foreign language subtitles to be shown may be obscured (in a shaded state).

During the loading time (first time), the user predicts/predicts the foreign language expression in the first video to be played later while watching the native language subtitles. For example, during the loading time, the first hint message may show "How is the weather there?" The user predicts the English expression corresponding to "How is the weather there?" When the loading time ends, the foreigner says “How is the weather up there?” The first video saying "Play." The user checks whether the English expression he expected is correct or wrong while watching the first video.

Alternatively, the first hint message may be a short phrase/sentence, a small character/figure, etc. that intuitively indicates the content to be performed in the first video. For example, a phrase such as “interview situation” may be used as the first hint message, and the “video in which the main character watches the job interview in a tense situation” may be played as the first video. Alternatively, “a fun animal character” is used as the first hint message, and a “video where the main character walks happily with the animal” can be played as the first video. The user can predict the content of the conversation from the first video to be played in advance while watching the intuitive first video (short phrase/sentence, character, figure). These predictions can improve the user's listening and help the user more easily understand the sudden foreign conversation in short videos.

Through this method, the video loading time is converted into a time to help the learning, not a boring waiting time of the user.

On the other hand, in the self-directed learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a user performs a predetermined designated motion, the first video to be played may be randomly selected. That is, the user does not need to select what content to learn after running the application. In the general case, when the user runs the English learning application, dozens of contents that can be learned are displayed, and as many as thousands. The user has a cognitive burden on which content to choose from and learn. However, in the self-directed learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a user repeatedly executes a designated motion after executing an application, various contents to be learned are selected. Therefore, it is possible to minimize the cognitive burden of the user.

In addition, such randomness can enable the user to concentrate on learning without being bored for a long time.

Of course, the randomness of the played image can be adjusted. That is, it may be randomly selected for all contents of an application that is being executed, or may be randomly selected only within contents that are properly classified according to a user's level. That is, if the user's English level is "level 4", it can be selected only among contents corresponding to "level 4". In addition, if the user wants to learn “Travel English”, it can be selected only among contents corresponding to “Travel English”.

2 is a view for explaining an application to which the self-directed learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the user performs an operation of pulling down to any part of the application screen (that is, a designated motion) 310, as described with reference to FIG. 1, an external server (ie, a streaming video server) During the first time when the first video is called/loaded from, a first hint message related to the first video is displayed.

Specifically, the UI (User Interface) of the application includes a video section 301 and a subtitle section 302.

As described above, the video played in the video section 301 may be an video provided by a streaming video server. In the application, the entire video provided by the streaming video server is not played, but only a predetermined portion is played. For example, although the play time of the entire image is 5 minutes, the image may be divided into a plurality of partial images in a short unit of time (for example, about 5 seconds), and a selected partial image among the plurality of partial images may be played. The reason for doing this is as follows. It can be a burden for the user to learn the entire 5 minutes of foreign language video. In addition, if the user is interested in a video in a field that is not of interest, it is very tedious for the user to watch a 5 minute foreign language video. Therefore, the user learns only a short partial image of about 5 seconds.

Here, the entire image moving button 330 is arranged on one side of the video section 301 to learn the entire image related to the partial image. In this way, the user can learn only the entire image of interest using the entire image movement button 330.

In addition, a title and/or a thumbnail 350 of the currently played image may be disposed on the other side of the video section 301.

While the first video is played in the video section 301, the foreign language subtitle 360 related to the first video is displayed in the subtitle section 302.

Here, at least a portion of the foreign language subtitle 360 may be shaded. If the user touches anywhere in the video section 301, the shading process may disappear. The user does not see the entire foreign language subtitle 360 immediately, but first predicts the shaded area while listening to the first video. By doing this, the user can predict the entire English sentence first while looking at the first hint message, and predict the second part of the English sentence while looking at the shaded foreign subtitle 360. Therefore, the user is induced to learn step by step.

A scrap button 340 may be disposed on one side of the video section 301. When the user presses the scrap button 340, the dialogue including the first video may be scrapped, and only the scrapped dialogues may be collected and re-learned. The re-learning method may be a method described using FIG. 1.

The user can press the commentary button 370 under the subtitle section 302 if a specific commentary on the first video is needed. When the commentary button 370 is pressed, an overlay mat (372 in FIG. 6) is opened and a commentary on the expression of the first video is displayed.

3 to 6, a specific learning process of the self-directed learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the first application is executed, a first hint message 320 (here, a native language subtitle) stored in the application or the management server of the application is preloaded before the first video is loaded.

In order to increase the concentration of the first hint message 320, an opaque dark overlay mat 329 may be disposed behind the first hint message 320.

During the time when the first video is called/loaded, the user practices reminiscent of a foreign language (here, English) from the first hint message.

Subsequently, referring to FIG. 4, as the first video is loaded, the overlay mat 329 is brightened or disappeared. Accordingly, the user can recognize that the first video is loaded.

Subsequently, the loaded first video is played. The short first video of about 5 seconds can be played and automatically looped. Since the user watches the first video while knowing the content of the first video roughly because of the first hint message 320, the native speaker conversation of the first video can be more easily understood.

Subsequently, referring to FIG. 5, when the user touches the subtitle section 302, the shaded portion disappears and the entire foreign language subtitle 360 can be known.

Subsequently, referring to FIG. 6, when a specific commentary on the first video is required, the user may press the commentary button 370. When the commentary button 370 is pressed, the overlay mat 372 is opened, and a commentary on the expression of the first video is displayed.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a self-directed learning method according to another embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of description, substantially the same as those described with reference to FIG. 1 will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 7, the electronic device recognizes a designated motion provided from a user (S10).

Subsequently, after the electronic device recognizes the user's designated motion, a first hint message corresponding to the first video is provided during a first time of loading and loading the first video from an external server (S20 ). After the first hint message is provided (that is, after the first time required for loading ends), the first video is played (S30).

Subsequently, after playing the first video or while the first video is being played, the electronic device recognizes the designated motion provided from the user again (S40 ).

Subsequently, after the electronic device recognizes the user's designated motion, a second hint message corresponding to the second video is provided during a second time of loading and loading a second video different from the first video from the external server (S50). . After the second hint message is provided (that is, after the second time required for loading ends), the second video is played (S60).

Meanwhile, the learning material is classified into a plurality of learning categories, the first video is selected from the first category among the plurality of categories, and the second video is selected from the second category different from the first category among the plurality of categories. As described above, by providing the first video and the second video in different categories, the user can be prevented from being bored. The user's interest can be maximized by not knowing which hint message/video will appear each time the user performs a designated motion (pull).

The first video and the second video may be provided from an external server, and the external server may be, for example, a streaming video server providing YouTube, Facebook, and Samsung VR sites. , But is not limited to this.

Like the first hint message, the second hint message is not stored in the external server. The second hint message may be stored in the application or may be stored in the management server of the application. Therefore, the second hint message is provided during the time when the second video is loaded, so that the user's learning efficiency can be improved. In order to shorten the loading time of the second hint message, the capacity of the second hint message is small, for example, text, a relatively small character/shape, and a relatively short sound/voice sound may be used. The second hint message may be subtitles of at least a part of the second video. Alternatively, the second hint message may be at least a part of foreign language subtitles of the second video. Optionally, when the second hint message is a foreign language subtitle, a part of the foreign language subtitles displayed may be obscured. Alternatively, the second hint message may be a short phrase/sentence, a small character/figure, etc. that intuitively indicates content to be performed in the second video.

The learning material is classified into a plurality of learning categories, the first video may be selected from the first category among the plurality of categories, and the second video may be selected from the second category different from the first category among the plurality of categories.

For example, the first video and the second video may have different difficulty levels. If the difficulty level of the first video is high (for example, a video of American local English level), the difficulty level of the second video may be low (for example, basic words, basic sentences, etc. that beginners should learn at a slow tempo) video).

Or, for example, the first video and the second video may be English used in different situations. For example, the first video may be selected from the travel English category, and the second video may be selected from the restaurant English category. By continuously selecting the first video and the second video from different categories, it is possible to increase interest in the learner's content.

8 to 10, a specific learning process of the self-directed learning method according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. For convenience of description, substantially the same contents as those already described will be omitted.

First, along the learning process of FIGS. 3 to 6, the first hint message 320 is provided (see FIG. 3 ), and the first video play (FIG. 4) is performed.

After the first video is played, or while the first video is being played, the designated motion (eg, pulled down) provided from the user is recognized again.

Subsequently, referring to FIG. 8, a second hint message 321 corresponding to the second video is provided during a second time for loading and loading the second video from an external server (S20 ). The second hint message 321 may be an intuitive word to the user, for example, “movie review”. As illustrated, at least a part of the foreign language subtitle 361 may be shaded.

Subsequently, referring to FIG. 9, loading of the second video is completed and the second video is played. The second short video of about 5 seconds can be played and automatically repeated. Because the user sees the second video while knowing the content of the second video roughly because of the second hint message 321, the conversation of the native speaker of the second video can be more easily understood.

Subsequently, referring to FIG. 10, when the user touches the subtitle section 302, the shaded portion disappears, and the entire foreign language subtitle 361 can be known. In addition, the user can press the comment button 370 when a specific comment on the second video is required.

11 is a flowchart illustrating a self-directed learning method according to another embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of description, those substantially identical to those described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 11, a user's designated motion is recognized (S110). In response to a user's designated motion, a first method is selected from a plurality of learning methods (S120). According to the selected first method, the first learning material is provided to the user (S130). After the provision of the first learning material is completed or while the first learning material is provided, the designated motion is re-input from the user and recognized (S140). In response to the user's designated motion re-entered, a second method different from the first method is selected from the plurality of learning methods (S150). The second learning material may be provided to the user according to the selected second method (S160 ).

When the user's designated motion continues several times, different types of learning methods may be randomly provided. Learning methods may include foreign language video play, foreign/artificial intelligence and conversation in foreign languages, and foreign/artificial intelligence and sentence conversation. For example, a foreign language video play mode for a first designated motion, a foreign language conversation mode for a second designated motion, and a sentence conversation mode for a third designated motion may be performed.

In this way, the first learning method and the second learning method that are continuously provided are different from each other, so that the user is not bored. The user's interest can be maximized by not knowing what learning method will appear whenever the user performs a designated motion (pull).

12 is a flowchart illustrating a self-directed learning method according to another embodiment of the present invention. 12 is a specific example of the self-directed learning method illustrated in FIG. 11.

Referring to FIG. 12, a user's designated motion is recognized (S110).

Subsequently, in response to a user's designated motion, a first method is selected from among a plurality of learning methods. The foreign language video play mode is selected. During the first time, a first hint message corresponding to the first video is provided (S121).

Next, the first video is played (S131).

Subsequently, after the provision of the first learning material is completed or while the first learning material is provided, the designated motion is re-entered from the user again to recognize it (S140).

Subsequently, in response to the user's designated motion re-entered, a second method different from the first method is selected from among a plurality of learning methods. Foreign language conversation or sentence conversation is selected. A third hint message related to an operation to be performed for a third time is provided (S151). For example, a third hint message such as "conversation with a foreigner" or "sentence conversation with an artificial intelligence" may be provided. Alternatively, a third hint message may be provided for a topic or sentence to communicate with a foreigner/artificial intelligence. Accordingly, the user prepares to speak a foreign language or prepares a sentence conversation in a foreign language.

Subsequently, a foreign language conversation mode or a sentence conversation mode is started (S161 ).

That is, an artificial intelligence or a native speaker's question may be provided to the user, and an answer to the question may be provided from the user.

On the other hand, when described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12, the video being played is described as being provided from an external server, but is not limited thereto. For example, some videos to be played may be stored in the application or may be stored in the management server of the application.

Specifically, as described with reference to FIG. 1, after playing the first video provided from the external server, or while the first video is being played, the designated motion is provided from the user again.

Subsequently, a fourth hint message corresponding to the fourth video may be provided for a fourth time, so that the user can predict the content of the fourth video from the fourth hint message in advance for the fourth time. After providing the fourth hint message, the fourth video may be played. The fourth video may be stored in the application or may be stored in the management server of the application. Here, the fourth time may be the same time as when the first video was called/loaded (ie, the first time). By guaranteeing the fourth time as the first time, the user can have time to predict the expression in advance even for the video provided in the application.

The API is an interface for an application to control functions provided by the kernel or middleware, and includes at least one interface or function (eg, command) for file control, window control, image processing, or text control. can do.

Meanwhile, the memory 240 stores instructions for performing the self-directed learning method described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12. For example, the memory 240 corresponds to the first video during the first time when the processor 220 recognizes the designated motion provided by the user and after the step of recognizing, calls and loads the first video from the external server. The first hint message is provided to allow the user to predict the content of the first video from the first hint message in advance for the first time, and the first hint message is not stored in the external server. After the step of providing the first hint message, instructions for playing the first video may be stored.

Alternatively, the memory 240, the processor 220 receives the designated motion provided by the user, selects a first method among a plurality of learning methods in response to the user's designated motion, and performs first learning according to the selected first method A plurality of learning methods are provided in response to a designated motion of a user receiving a specified motion from a user after providing the data to a user, and after providing the first learning material or while the first learning material is provided, Among them, a second method different from the first method may be selected, and instructions for providing a second learning material to the user according to the selected second method may be stored.

Alternatively, the memory 240 is a native language corresponding to the first video during a first time when the processor 220 receives a pull-down operation from the user and calls and loads the first video from the streaming video server after the input step. After providing the subtitles in advance and displaying the native language subtitles, instructions for displaying the first video may be stored.

In the memory 240, learning materials are classified into a plurality of learning categories and stored. For example, it may be classified by level, or may be classified by situation.

In addition, the memory 240 also stores data for managing a video call from an external server. Specifically, the memory 240 stores a video title, a unique ID, a total video time, a start time, and a type time in a video streaming server (for example, a YouTube server).

In addition, the video stored in the video streaming server is divided into sections (for example, less than 10 seconds) and played as the first video/second video of the present invention. The memory 240 also includes information for each section. That is, the memory 240 includes whether or not the section is included in the self-directed learning method, a subtitle in the foreign language of the section, a subtitle in the native language of the section, a start time of the section, an end time of the section, and an explanation of the expression of the section do. In addition, it may include a hint message of the section and information on a shaded part of the subtitles of the foreign language of the section.

Based on the data stored in the memory 240, the processor 220 calls the corresponding section (first video) divided by section from an external server, while the corresponding section (first video) is loaded into the memory 240 The stored hint message of the corresponding section is displayed on the UI, and a foreign language subtitle (at least partially shading) of the corresponding section is displayed.

13 and 14, the communication module 230 allows the electronic device 260 to communicate with an external server (270 in FIG. 14) or the application management server 280 through the network 290.

In various embodiments, the electronic device may be flexible or a combination of two or more of the various devices described above. The electronic device according to the embodiment of the present document is not limited to the above-described devices. In this document, the term user may refer to a person using an electronic device or a device using an electronic device (eg, an artificial intelligence electronic device).
1 is a flowchart illustrating a self-directed learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The self-directed learning method of FIG. 1 may be an operation implemented after a user executes a specific application of the electronic device, or implemented on the executed application, or with the executed application.
Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic device recognizes a designated motion provided from a user (S10). Here, the method in which the user's designated motion is input to the electronic device may vary. The user may perform an operation using a finger on the display of the electronic device (eg, pull, pull, drag, one or more consecutive touches). Alternatively, the user may perform a predetermined operation in front of the camera of the electronic device (for example, a hand from top to bottom, a hand from bottom to top, a head nodding or waving). Alternatively, the user may speak a designated command through the microphone of the electronic device. Alternatively, the user may perform a sensor-recognizable operation (for example, in the case of a tactile sensor, a light touch of a hand on the tactile sensor) to the sensor of the electronic device, but is not limited thereto.
Subsequently, after the electronic device recognizes a user's designated motion, a first hint message corresponding to the first video is provided during a first time of loading and loading a first video from an external server (S20 ). After the first hint message is provided (that is, after the first time required for loading ends), the first video is played (S30).
Here, the external server may be a server managed by another administrator, not a server managing the application being executed. For example, the external server may be a server (streaming video server) that provides a video in a streaming manner, for example, streaming providing YouTube, Facebook, and Samsung VR sites. It may be a video server, but is not limited thereto.
In order to load and load the first video from the external server, loading time is required. In the general case, this loading time is the user's waiting time. Therefore, if the waiting time is long, the user becomes dissatisfied and deviates from the running application. However, in the self-directed learning method according to some embodiments of the present invention, the user provides the first hint message for the first time by providing the first hint message corresponding to the first video to be played during the loading time (the first time). The contents of the first video are predicted in advance.
Here, the first hint message is not stored in the external server. The first hint message may be stored in the application or may be stored in the management server of the application. Accordingly, the loading time of the first hint message is hardly required. The time taken to load the first hint message may be very short compared to the loading time of the first video. In order to shorten the loading time of the first hint message in this way, the capacity of the first hint message is small, for example, text, a relatively small character/shape, and a relatively short sound/voice may be used.
The first hint message may have various forms. For example, the first video may be content for use as an educational material. When the first video includes a foreign language, the native language subtitle/foreign language subtitle of the first video may be stored in the execution application (ie, in the electronic device) or in the management server of the execution application (memory of FIG. 13) (240, see the application management server 280 of Figure 14). In this case, the first hint message may be subtitles of at least a part of the first video. Alternatively, the first hint message may be at least a part of a foreign language subtitle of the first video. Optionally, when the first hint message is a foreign language subtitle, a part of the foreign language subtitles to be shown may be obscured (in a shaded state).
During the loading time (first time), the user predicts/predicts the foreign language expression in the first video to be played later while watching the native language subtitles. For example, during the loading time, the first hint message may show "How is the weather there?" The user predicts the English expression corresponding to "How is the weather there?" When the loading time ends, the foreigner says “How is the weather up there?” The first video saying "Play." The user checks whether the English expression he expected is correct or wrong while watching the first video.
Alternatively, the first hint message may be a short phrase/sentence, a small character/figure, etc. that intuitively indicates the content to be performed in the first video. For example, a phrase such as “interview situation” may be used as the first hint message, and the “video in which the main character watches the job interview in a tense situation” may be played as the first video. Alternatively, “a fun animal character” is used as the first hint message, and a “video where the main character walks happily with the animal” can be played as the first video. The user can predict the content of the conversation from the first video to be played in advance while watching the intuitive first video (short phrase/sentence, character, figure). These predictions can improve the user's listening and help the user more easily understand the sudden foreign conversation in short videos.
Through this method, the video loading time is converted into a time to help the learning, not a boring waiting time of the user.
On the other hand, in the self-directed learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a user performs a predetermined designated motion, the first video to be played may be randomly selected. That is, the user does not need to select what content to learn after running the application. In the general case, when the user runs the English learning application, dozens of contents that can be learned are displayed, and as many as thousands. The user has a cognitive burden on which content to choose from and learn. However, in the self-directed learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a user repeatedly executes a designated motion after executing an application, various contents to be learned are selected. Therefore, it is possible to minimize the cognitive burden of the user.
In addition, such randomness can enable the user to concentrate on learning without being bored for a long time.
Of course, the randomness of the played image can be adjusted. That is, it may be randomly selected for all contents of an application that is being executed, or may be randomly selected only within contents that are properly classified according to a user's level. That is, if the user's English level is "level 4", it can be selected only among contents corresponding to "level 4". In addition, if the user wants to learn “Travel English”, it can be selected only among contents corresponding to “Travel English”.
2 is a view for explaining an application to which the self-directed learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.
Referring to FIG. 2, when the user performs an operation of pulling down to any part of the application screen (that is, a designated motion) 310, as described with reference to FIG. 1, an external server (that is, a streaming video server) During the first time when the first video is called/loaded from, a first hint message related to the first video is displayed.
Specifically, the UI (User Interface) of the application includes a video section 301 and a subtitle section 302.
As described above, the video played in the video section 301 may be an video provided by a streaming video server. In the application, the entire video provided by the streaming video server is not played, but only a predetermined portion is played. For example, although the play time of the entire image is 5 minutes, the image may be divided into a plurality of partial images in a short unit of time (for example, about 5 seconds), and a selected partial image among the plurality of partial images may be played. The reason for doing this is as follows. It can be a burden for the user to learn the entire 5 minutes of foreign language video. In addition, if the user is interested in a video in a field that is not of interest, it is very tedious for the user to watch a 5 minute foreign language video. Therefore, the user learns only a short partial image of about 5 seconds.
Here, the entire image moving button 330 is arranged on one side of the video section 301 to learn the entire image related to the partial image. In this way, the user can learn only the entire image of interest using the entire image movement button 330.
In addition, a title and/or a thumbnail 350 of the currently played image may be disposed on the other side of the video section 301.
While the first video is played in the video section 301, the foreign language subtitle 360 related to the first video is displayed in the subtitle section 302.
Here, at least a portion of the foreign language subtitle 360 may be shaded. If the user touches anywhere in the video section 301, the shading process may disappear. The user does not see the entire foreign language subtitle 360 immediately, but first predicts the shaded area while listening to the first video. By doing this, the user can predict the entire English sentence first while looking at the first hint message, and predict the second part of the English sentence while looking at the shaded foreign subtitle 360. Therefore, the user is induced to learn step by step.
A scrap button 340 may be disposed on one side of the video section 301. When the user presses the scrap button 340, the dialogue including the first video may be scrapped, and only the scrapped dialogues may be collected and re-learned. The re-learning method may be a method described using FIG. 1.
The user can press the commentary button 370 under the subtitle section 302 if a specific commentary on the first video is needed. When the commentary button 370 is pressed, an overlay mat (372 in FIG. 6) is opened and a commentary on the expression of the first video is displayed.
3 to 6, a specific learning process of the self-directed learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Referring to FIG. 3, when the first application is executed, a first hint message 320 (here, a native language subtitle) stored in the application or the management server of the application is preloaded before the first video is loaded.
In order to increase the concentration of the first hint message 320, an opaque dark overlay mat 329 may be disposed behind the first hint message 320.
During the time when the first video is called/loaded, the user practices reminiscent of a foreign language (here, English) from the first hint message.
Subsequently, referring to FIG. 4, as the first video is loaded, the overlay mat 329 is brightened or disappeared. Accordingly, the user can recognize that the first video is loaded.
Subsequently, the loaded first video is played. The short first video of about 5 seconds can be played and automatically looped. Since the user watches the first video while knowing the content of the first video roughly because of the first hint message 320, the native speaker conversation of the first video can be more easily understood.
Subsequently, referring to FIG. 5, when the user touches the subtitle section 302, the shaded portion disappears and the entire foreign language subtitle 360 can be known.
Subsequently, referring to FIG. 6, when a specific commentary on the first video is required, the user may press the commentary button 370. When the commentary button 370 is pressed, the overlay mat 372 is opened, and a commentary on the expression of the first video is displayed.
7 is a flowchart illustrating a self-directed learning method according to another embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of description, substantially the same as those described with reference to FIG. 1 will be omitted.
Referring to FIG. 7, the electronic device recognizes a designated motion provided from a user (S10).
Subsequently, after the electronic device recognizes the user's designated motion, a first hint message corresponding to the first video is provided during a first time of loading and loading the first video from an external server (S20 ). After the first hint message is provided (that is, after the first time required for loading ends), the first video is played (S30).
Subsequently, after playing the first video or while the first video is being played, the electronic device recognizes the designated motion provided from the user again (S40 ).
Subsequently, after the electronic device recognizes the user's designated motion, a second hint message corresponding to the second video is provided during a second time of loading and loading a second video different from the first video from the external server (S50). . After the second hint message is provided (that is, after the second time required for loading ends), the second video is played (S60).
Meanwhile, the learning material is classified into a plurality of learning categories, the first video is selected from the first category among the plurality of categories, and the second video is selected from the second category different from the first category among the plurality of categories. As described above, by providing the first video and the second video in different categories, the user can be prevented from being bored. The user's interest can be maximized by not knowing which hint message/video will appear each time the user performs a designated motion (pull).
The first video and the second video may be provided from an external server, and the external server may be, for example, a streaming video server providing YouTube, Facebook, and Samsung VR sites. , But is not limited to this.
Like the first hint message, the second hint message is not stored in the external server. The second hint message may be stored in the application or may be stored in the management server of the application. Therefore, the second hint message is provided during the time when the second video is loaded, so that the user's learning efficiency can be improved. In order to shorten the loading time of the second hint message, the capacity of the second hint message is small, for example, text, a relatively small character/shape, and a relatively short sound/voice can be used. The second hint message may be subtitles of at least a part of the second video. Alternatively, the second hint message may be at least a part of foreign language subtitles of the second video. Optionally, when the second hint message is a foreign language subtitle, a part of the foreign language subtitles displayed may be obscured. Alternatively, the second hint message may be a short phrase/sentence, a small character/figure, etc. that intuitively indicates content to be performed in the second video.
The learning material is classified into a plurality of learning categories, the first video may be selected from the first category among the plurality of categories, and the second video may be selected from the second category different from the first category among the plurality of categories.
For example, the first video and the second video may have different difficulty levels. If the difficulty level of the first video is high (for example, a video of American local English level), the difficulty level of the second video may be low (for example, basic words, basic sentences, etc. that beginners should learn at a slow tempo) video).
Or, for example, the first video and the second video may be English used in different situations. For example, the first video may be selected from the travel English category, and the second video may be selected from the restaurant English category. By continuously selecting the first video and the second video from different categories, it is possible to increase interest in the learner's content.
8 to 10, a specific learning process of the self-directed learning method according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. For convenience of description, substantially the same contents as those already described will be omitted.
First, along the learning process of FIGS. 3 to 6, the first hint message 320 is provided (see FIG. 3 ), and the first video play (FIG. 4) is performed.
After the first video is played, or while the first video is being played, the designated motion (eg, pulled down) provided from the user is recognized again.
Subsequently, referring to FIG. 8, a second hint message 321 corresponding to the second video is provided during a second time for loading and loading the second video from an external server (S20 ). The second hint message 321 may be an intuitive word to the user, for example, “movie review”. As illustrated, at least a part of the foreign language subtitle 361 may be shaded.
Subsequently, referring to FIG. 9, loading of the second video is completed and the second video is played. The second short video of about 5 seconds can be played and automatically repeated. Because the user sees the second video while knowing the content of the second video roughly because of the second hint message 321, the conversation of the native speaker of the second video can be more easily understood.
Subsequently, referring to FIG. 10, when the user touches the subtitle section 302, the shaded portion disappears, and the entire foreign language subtitle 361 can be known. In addition, the user can press the comment button 370 when a specific comment on the second video is required.
11 is a flowchart illustrating a self-directed learning method according to another embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of description, those substantially identical to those described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 will be omitted.
Referring to FIG. 11, a user's designated motion is recognized (S110). In response to a user's designated motion, a first method is selected from a plurality of learning methods (S120). According to the selected first method, the first learning material is provided to the user (S130). After the provision of the first learning material is completed or while the first learning material is provided, the designated motion is re-input from the user and recognized (S140). In response to the user's designated motion re-entered, a second method different from the first method is selected from the plurality of learning methods (S150). The second learning material may be provided to the user according to the selected second method (S160 ).
When the user's designated motion continues several times, different types of learning methods may be randomly provided. Learning methods may include foreign language video play, foreign/artificial intelligence and conversation in foreign languages, and foreign/artificial intelligence and sentence conversation. For example, a foreign language video play mode for a first designated motion, a foreign language conversation mode for a second designated motion, and a sentence conversation mode for a third designated motion may be performed.
In this way, the first learning method and the second learning method that are continuously provided are different from each other, so that the user is not bored. The user's interest can be maximized by not knowing what learning method will appear whenever the user performs a designated motion (pull).
12 is a flowchart illustrating a self-directed learning method according to another embodiment of the present invention. 12 is a specific example of the self-directed learning method illustrated in FIG. 11.
Referring to FIG. 12, a user's designated motion is recognized (S110).
