Regarding the learning form using the smart block toy 100 to be described below, the arrangement of the

general blocks

110 and 220 may be more easily and intuitively understood. A case in which the second information is directed to the front side will be described by dividing it into A and B. FIG.

In addition, a case in which the first analysis unit 124a of the first analysis unit 124a and the second analysis unit 124b is activated to operate the control block 120 is arbitrarily referred to as a "learning mode", and the second The case in which the analysis unit 124b is activated to operate the control block 120 is arbitrarily referred to as a "test mode", and will be used in the following description.
