Description

The utility model relates to the field of data processing for special applications and can be used, in particular, in digital imaging systems, for example, in foreign language learning systems using computer and network technologies.

A device is known that contains blocks of two types, local controllers connected to these devices, a central controller and a card issuing device [US Patent No. 5225977, cl. G 06 F 15/30].

The disadvantage of this device is the relatively narrow functionality.

Closest to the technical nature of the proposed is an information processing system comprising an information processing device including identifying information elements, an identifying information output means, a comparison means, a selective reception means, and also the first and second data processing means with corresponding connections [RU, 2236703, C 2, G 06 F 19 / 00,20.09.2004].

The disadvantage of this device is the relatively narrow functionality, due to the fact that it allows information processing, but does not allow you to model, explore and form associative images, including foreign words and corresponding associative plots, allowing you to quickly remember the pronunciation and translation of words.

The required technical result is to expand the functionality.

The required technical result is achieved by the fact that, in the device containing the data processing unit, a control unit, a word memory block, a group of plot memory blocks, a switch, a group of information inputs of which are connected to a group of outputs of a group of plot memory blocks are inserted, the control input is the first control input devices, and the output is connected to the first input of the data processing unit, the second input of which is connected to the output of the word memory unit, as well as the associative image memory unit, the first input of which is connected the output of the data processing unit, the second input is connected to the first output of the control unit, and the third input is connected to the second output of the control unit, to the input of the word memory unit and to the group of inputs of the group of plot memory units, while the control input of the control unit is the second control device input.

The drawing shows: in Fig.1 is a structural diagram of a device for forming associative images, in Fig.2 - control unit.

The device for forming associative images (Fig. 1) contains a data processing unit 1, a control unit 2, a word memory unit 3, a group of 4 plot memory units, and a switch 5.

In addition, the device contains a block 6 for associative image memory, a group of information inputs of the switch 5 is connected to a group of outputs of a group 4 of plot memory blocks, a control input 7 of the switch 5 is the first control input of the device, and the output is connected to the first input of the data processing unit 1, the second whose input is connected to the output of block 3 of the word memory.

Additionally, the first input of the associative image memory unit 6 is connected to the output of the data processing unit 1, the second input is connected to the first output of the control unit 2, and the third input is connected to the second output of the control unit 2, with the input of the word memory unit 3 and with the group of inputs of the group blocks 4 memory plots 4-1 ... 4-m, while

the control input 8 of the control unit 2 is the second control input of the device.

The control unit 2 (figure 2) contains a clock generator 9 (GTI), the output of which is the first output of the control unit 1, a pulse counter 10, the counting input of which is connected to the output of the GTI 9, and the output is the second output of the control unit 2, and also a switch 11, the signal input of which is connected to the overflow output of the pulse counter 10, the output is connected to the stop input of the GTI 9, and the control input 8 is the second control input of the device.

Blocks 3, 4 and 6 can be made in the form of specialized computing devices, and in the particular case in the form of programmable read-only memory (ROM) devices, in which, when read, each of the specified input codes (addresses) corresponds to the required output codes. Preset codes are recorded at the same addresses. The following example of the operation of the device is sufficient for their technical implementation (manufacturing, programming). GTI 9, counter 10 pulses, switch 5 and switch 11 are standard elements of computer technology. Block 1 data processing can be made in the form of a block of OR elements.

The device for forming associative images works as follows.

The device is intended for the formation of associative images in digital form. The resulting associative image is an image of a foreign word and its translation, as well as some plot (for example, an image of an object or animal) with which a foreign word or its translation is associated. This helps to effectively memorize foreign words and, thereby, successfully learn a foreign language.

Previously, the original image of words is scanned, for example, using a scanner [see, for example. Flatbed scanners. Testing. "Computer Press", 2001, No. 7]. A digital word signal is generated at the scanner output, including a plurality (sequence) of interconnected samples of spatial and color coordinates of the original, forming a vector sample. For a rectangular coordinate system, spatial coordinates are specified by readouts along the X and Y axis, and color coordinates are specified by a color vector. When using a triplet (three-dimensional vector RGB), on each basic digital channel (channel of the corresponding color component), the color level is set, as a rule, in the form of an 8-bit code. Thus, the reference vector is characterized by five components, two of which characterize the spatial coordinate (spatial vector), and three - the color coordinate interconnected with it (color vector).

The sequence of vector samples of words is pre-recorded in block 3 of the word memory, for example, at sequential addresses generated by the control unit 2 at its second output, with the synchronous supply of a recording permission signal taken, for example, from its clock output.

In addition, the same methodology for each of the words in blocks 4-1 ... 4-m records a lot of possible or proposed plots that can be associated with a foreign word or its translation.

It is assumed that the words and plots are spaced in space, i.e. when playing them on the screen, they do not intersect (they are recorded in different areas of spatial coordinates).

The device starts when the GTI 9 is started and the pulse counter 10 is reset, as well as the associative image memory unit 6, for example, via power circuits, which are non-essential features in the framework of this application and in the drawing

are shown. In this case, a signal is supplied to the second control input 8 of the device, which puts the key 11 in the off state.

The counter 10 performs the counting of pulses, which leads to the formation at its output of the addresses of the samples of the original image of words and plots. These signals are fed to the group of inputs of block 3 of word memory and to the input of group 4 of blocks of plot memory. A control signal is supplied to the control input 7 of switch 5, which allows the signal from one of the memory blocks 4-1 ... 4-m of group 4 to be sent to the output of the switch. Block 1 of the data processing combines the signals from the output of block 3 of the word memory and from one of the block memory of plots of group 4. According to the signals coming from the first and second outputs of the control unit 2, associative images are formed in the memory unit 6, including the source word and the corresponding plot. The sequential change of control signals at the control input of the switch 5 allows you to periodically change the plot and, for example, will stop at the most acceptable for the user.

The frequency of operation of the device is achieved by setting the counter 10 pulses. At the end of the process of selecting the required associative image by transferring the switch 11 to the closed state, the signal from the overflow output of the counter 10 stops the GTI 9. The device stops working on this.

Thus, thanks to the introduced improvement of the device, its functionality is significantly expanded, since it allows you to simulate, explore and form associative images, including foreign words and corresponding associative plots, allowing you to quickly remember the pronunciation and translation of words.
