Next, an operational system and method of the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment, and reference is made to the flowchart of the method for providing integrated educational resources through the agent according to the present invention. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the resource platform 110, the proxy 120, and the server 130 are all independently operated devices. In addition, it is also assumed that at least the first resource platform provided by the first high school exists in the embodiment. The second resource platform provided by the second high school, the first resource platform and the second resource platform both provide a variety of Chinese educational resources and a variety of English educational resources, wherein the Chinese educational resources provided by the first resource platform include education for evaluating classical poetry. Resources, the Chinese education resources provided by the second resource platform include educational resources for appreciation of classical poetry, but the invention is not limited thereto.

First, after the agent 120 is started, the agent 120 can generate an educational resource message corresponding to each educational resource according to all the educational resources provided by all the resource platforms 110 (step 206). In this embodiment, the proxy 120 may connect to the first resource platform and the second resource platform according to the predefined network address, and detect all the educational resources provided by the first resource platform and the second resource platform. For example, the detection is performed in a traversal manner. In this way, the agent 120 can detect that the first resource platform provides at least evaluation of classical poetry and other Chinese educational resources and other English educational resources, and can also detect that the second resource platform provides at least appreciation of classical poetry and other Chinese language. After the educational resources and other English educational resources, the agent 120 can record the unified resource identification data (URI) of each of the detected educational resources, and add a resource platform 110 for providing corresponding educational resources for each unified resource identification data. The identification data is used to generate educational resource information corresponding to each educational resource. For example, the agent 120 can add the identification information of the first resource platform before evaluating the educational resources of the classical poetry, and before appreciating the educational resources of the classical poetry Join the identification data of the second resource platform, and so on.

After the agent 120 generates the educational resource message, the agent 120 may transmit a resource access message containing the generated educational resource message to the server 130 (step 220). In this embodiment, it is assumed that the proxy 120 can encapsulate the generated educational resource information and the identification data of the proxy 120 itself into a resource access message in a predetermined format, and transmit the resource retrieval message generated by the encapsulation to the server. 130.

In practice, before the proxy 120 transmits the resource retrieval message to the server 130, the proxy 120 typically needs to first connect to the server 130 for registration. In this embodiment, the proxy 120 may first connect to the server 130 according to a predefined network address after startup, and transmit the identification data of the proxy 120 itself to the server 130, so that the server 130 completes. Registration (step 210).

When the server 130 receives the resource access message transmitted by the agent 120, the server 130 may adjust the pre-established directory index according to the educational resource information included in the received resource access message (step 230). In this embodiment, if the directory index pre-established by the server 130 does not include an option corresponding to the educational resources of the classical poetry and the classical poetry, the server 130 may be the first in the "national" sub-category. Under the "High School" sub-category, the "Evaluation of Classical Poetry" option is added, and the "Appreciation of Classical Poetry" option is added under the "Second High School" sub-category in the "National Chinese" sub-category, such as the "Category 3A". Index 300 is shown.

After the server 130 adjusts the directory index 300, the user can select the classification, sub-category, and options of the adjusted directory index 300. If the user selects an option in the directory index 300, the server 130 may issue an option to the agent 120 to the agent 120 based on the educational resource message corresponding to the selected option when the option in the directory index 300 is selected. A request for a corresponding educational resource (step 270). In this embodiment, it is assumed that the user selects the "high school" category, the "national language" sub-category, the "first high school" sub-category, and the "evaluate classical poetry" option of the directory index 300 in sequence, and the server 130 can issue and The "evaluation of classical poetry" option corresponds to the request for educational resources to the agent 120, and if the user selects the "high school" category, the "national" sub-category, the "second high school" sub-category, And the "Appreciation of Classical Poetry" option, the server 130 can issue a request for educational resources corresponding to the option of "Appreciating Classical Poetry" to the agent 120, wherein the request sent by the server 130 includes the selected option. Corresponding identification data corresponding to the teaching resource, that is, if the user selects the option of "evaluating classical poetry", the request sent by the server 130 may include identification data corresponding to the educational resource of "evaluating classical poetry", and If the user selects the option of "Appreciating Classical Poetry", the request sent by the server 130 may include the teaching of "Appreciating Classical Poetry". Identifying information corresponding to the resource.

Additionally, in practice, the server 130 can also provide the user with a search for a particular option (step 260). In this embodiment, assuming that the user inputs "classical poetry" as a keyword, the server 130 can search for two options of "evaluating classical poetry" and "appreciating classical poetry", and can display the two searched in the list. The options also show the classes of the selected options, namely "High School → Chinese Language → First High School" and "High School → Chinese Language → Second High School", etc., to provide users with direct choice.

After the server 130 issues a request for the educational resource to the agent 120, the agent 120 can download the requested educational resource to the resource platform 110 providing the requested educational resource according to the received request, and download the downloaded education. The resource is passed back to the server 130 (step 280). In this embodiment, if the user selects the option of "evaluating classical poetry", the agent 120 can provide "evaluation classical" according to the identification data corresponding to the educational resource of "evaluating classical poetry" included in the received request. The Resource Platform 110 of Poetry, which is the resource platform provided by the First High School, downloads the educational resources of “Evaluating Classical Poetry”. If the user chooses the option of “Appreciating Classical Poetry”, the agent 120 can provide “Appreciation Classical”. The resource platform provided by the second high school of Poetry downloads the educational resources of "Appreciating Classical Poetry".

In this way, the user can obtain the index directory of the integrated educational resources, and can directly select the educational resources to be learned on the server 130. Thus, the user can learn on the server 130, and no longer needs to be performed. Learn separately on different resource platforms 110.

In the above embodiment, as shown in the flow of FIG. 2B, the proxy 120 may adjust the directory index on the server 130 according to the educational resource information included in the received resource access message (step 230). Thereafter, the educational resources provided by all the resource platforms 110 are monitored (step 251), and when the educational resources provided by a certain resource platform 110 are detected and/or determined, a corresponding notification message is generated, and the corresponding notification message is generated. The generated notification message is transmitted to the server 130 (step 255).

After receiving the notification message transmitted by the proxy 120, the server 130 may adjust the directory index according to the received notification message (step 259). In this embodiment, it is assumed that the notification message includes that the first resource platform deletes the Chinese cultural resources of "evaluating classical poetry", and the second resource platform adds the national education resources of "appreciating modern poetry", and the server 130 can As shown in "3A" and "3B", the option corresponding to the educational resource of "Evaluation of Classical Poetry" is deleted in the directory index 300, and an option corresponding to the educational resource of "Appreciating Modern Poetry" is added.

In summary, it can be seen that the difference between the present invention and the prior art is that there is an educational resource for the agent collection and resource platform, and a corresponding educational resource message is generated, so that the server adjusts the directory index according to the educational resource message, and then the directory When the option in the index is selected, the server can obtain the technical means of the educational resource corresponding to the selected option on the resource platform through the agent, and the technical means can solve the problem between different resource platforms existing in the prior art. The storage structure of educational resources is different, which leads to the problem that educational resources are not easy to manage, and thus achieves the technical effect of making educational resources on different resource platforms easy to share.

Furthermore, the method for providing integrated educational resources through the agent in the present invention can be implemented in hardware, software or a combination of hardware and software, or can be implemented in a centralized manner in a computer system or spread over several different components by different components. Even the decentralized way of implementing computer systems.
