Description

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LEARNING LANGUAGES AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM FOR EXECUTING METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a language learning method and apparatus, and more particularly, to a language learning method and apparatus for storing the language forgotten in the human memory over time through efficient repetitive learning.

In order to memorize a single word, there is a memorization method such as a word or an idiom through memorization such as continuously writing a word, continuously speaking through a mouth, or continuously writing the same word in a head.

However, such a conventional memorization learning method does not continue continuously after memorizing the word, which is very difficult to continuously memorize a single word at intervals, and after a certain period of time, the memorized words, idioms, etc. are not thought at all. There is a problem that the loss of time occurs because it does not.

In addition, it is difficult to continuously learn many words for a short time, and it is difficult to continuously repeat this for a predetermined period.

In addition, the theoretical study of the individual's learning and oblivion of Ebbing House states that human memory is inversely proportional to the square of time, even if a user has memorized 100 words by reading, writing, and listening for five hours. As House argues, only 50% of the people are curious, forgetting within an hour, about 70% in a day, and about 80% to 90% in a month, Evinghouse has demonstrated in memory retention studies. There is a bar. The human brain is slowed down after 30 minutes of activity, and becomes close to 1 hour, and it becomes a "non-responsiveness" in which various neuronal functions fall, so no matter how much time and effort you invest, you're actually as effective as your time and effort. There is a problem that you do not see.

The present invention is to solve the problems caused by the conventional word learning method and the word learning apparatus using the same as described above,

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a word learning method and a word learning apparatus using the same, which are capable of effectively memorizing by repeatedly learning a language to be applied by applying a correlation between human memory and a passage of time to word learning.

The object of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned object, and other objects that are not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a language learning method including a first step of displaying a first word from an n-th memory including m _n blocks, and passing a recognition state of the first language. A second step of checking by dividing into a and a fail; a third step of displaying a second language corresponding to the first language; and a second step corresponding to the first language and the first language if the check result is a pass. A pair of languages including two languages is stored in the m _{n + 1} th block of the n + 1 th memory, and if fail, the pair of languages are stored in the m _{n −1} th block of the n−1 th memory. And a fourth step of distinguishing between recognized and unrecognized languages.

When more than 95% of the languages are filled in each block, the n + 1th memory is activated to provide the user with the first language.

The first to fourth steps may be repeated until the n + 1th memory is activated.

If the check result is a pass, the word stored in the subordinate order of the first language is stored in the first block of the nth memory.

And deleting the languages stored in the n-th memory when the n-th memory is activated due to the check result fail.

In the first step, the pronunciation of the first language is spoken.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a language learning apparatus checks a blocked state for storing two or more languages, and a recognition state of a first language provided from an nth memory among the memories with a pass or a fail. As a result, if the pass stores a pair of languages including the first language and a second language corresponding to the first language in the m _{n +1} th block of the n + 1 memory, if fail, the pair of languages A control unit for storing a language in the m _n- 1th block of the _n- 1th memory to control the storage location of the pair of languages according to the check result, and visually displaying the degree of the word filling in the blocked memory, And a display unit for displaying a first language and a second language corresponding to the first language from the memory.

It also includes a computer-readable storage medium for storing a program for executing the above-described language learning method.

According to the present invention, it is possible to automatically classify data that is easily memorized and data that is not.

In addition, for the easily memorized language, it is possible to repeatedly learn while gradually increasing the repetition period so that the language to be memorized permanently can be memorized regardless of the passage of time.

In addition, for a language that is not easily memorized, it is possible to repeat the learning by shortening the repetition period, thereby providing an efficient memorization method using the language learning apparatus according to the present invention.

According to the language learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as the number of fail selections increases, only languages that are not easily memorized are shortened the repetition period, so that repeated learning is performed separately. By repeating the learning cycle by lengthening the repetition cycle, it is possible to overcome the forgetful phenomenon according to the memory and the passage of time through the human brain through an efficient repetitive learning function.

Advantages and features of the present invention and methods for achieving them will be apparent with reference to the embodiments described below in detail with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be embodied in various different forms, and only the present embodiments make the disclosure of the present invention complete, and those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is provided to fully inform the person having the scope of the invention, which is defined only by the scope of the claims.

In the present invention, the term "language" includes words, phrases, and phrases, and the language includes Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, and the like, and is not limited to the above-described examples. Meanwhile, the concept of 'language' in the present invention may be divided into 'first language' and 'second language'. In the present invention, the term "first language" refers to a language in question as presented to the user in a form asking for an answer such as its meaning, and the term "second language" means an answer to the language in question.

For example, if "invasion" is presented in the first language, "invasion" corresponds to the second language corresponding to the first language. Thus, the 'first language' and the 'second language' are preferably organically combined and provided to the user for language learning of the user.

Therefore, the language learning according to the present invention includes not only checking whether the first language is presented and recognizing the second language, but also checking whether the second language is presented and recognizing the first language. do.

1 is a schematic block diagram of a language learning apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the language learning apparatus 100 according to an embodiment includes a memory 110, a controller 120, a display unit 130, and an input unit 140.

The memory 110 stores various languages. For example, the main memory (not shown) may include a Korean-English dictionary, an English-Korean dictionary, a Korean-Japanese dictionary, a Japanese-Korean dictionary, a Korean-Chinese dictionary or a Chinese-Korean dictionary, and is not limited to the above examples and includes all electronic dictionaries used for language learning. do.

The memory 110 includes a first memory 110_1, a second memory 110_2, a third memory 110_3,. And an n-th memory 110_n-1, an n-th memory 110_n, and an n + 1 memory 110_n + 1, wherein the plurality of memories may store two or more languages in a blocked storage space. . Meanwhile, the language learning apparatus 100 may include a main memory (not shown) that stores the entire language in order to provide a language to be used for language learning of the user in the first memory 110_1.

For example, the main memory (not shown) may include a Korean-English dictionary, an English-Korean dictionary, a Korean-Japanese dictionary, a Japanese-Korean dictionary, a Korean-Chinese dictionary or a Chinese-Korean dictionary, and is not limited to the above examples and includes all electronic dictionaries used for language learning. . In an embodiment of the present invention, since the first language and the second language to be learned are English, Korean, Korean, and Chinese characters, the corresponding English dictionary, Korean dictionary, and Chinese character dictionary may be constructed as a database.

The first memory 110_1 includes m ₁ blocks, the second memory 110_2 includes m ₂ blocks, and the nth memory includes m _n blocks. Languages provided to the user of the language learning apparatus 100 are stored in the m ₁ blocks. Each block of m ₁ may be set to store one or more languages. For example, when m1 = 30, one or more English words may be stored in each of the 30 blocks.

The controller 120 controls the entire language learning apparatus 100 according to the language learning method according to an embodiment to be described later to smoothly provide the language learning method. In particular, when the user is checked whether the first language (eg, English) stored in the first block of the first memory 110_1 is memorized or unrecognized in the state of being presented through the display unit 130, The location at which the pair of languages including the first language and the second language corresponding to the first language is stored is controlled according to the recognition. In addition, the display unit 130 or a speaker (not shown) controls the user to visually and audibly hear the pronunciation of the word.

The display unit 130 may be configured as a display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) that is generally used. The display unit 130 visually displays the extent to which words are filled in the blocked memory, and displays a first language and a second language corresponding to the first language from the memory.

Like the display unit 130, the speaker (not shown) outputs a voice signal under the control of the controller 120. The voice signal refers to various information according to the use of the language learning apparatus 100, such as English words, pronunciation of Korean words, the current state of the language learning apparatus 100, or the progress of the program. The speaker may not be mounted in the language learning apparatus 100 in consideration of the manufacturing cost of the language learning apparatus 100 or the like.

The language learning apparatus 100 may be connected to a network and receive and use various data necessary for learning in a memory. For example, when the first language provided as a test target to the user through the language learning apparatus 100 is an English word, and the meaning corresponding to the English word is a second language, the English word and the corresponding language are connected to a network. You can upgrade the meaning continuously. Such a network may use a wired or wireless Internet network, an intranet, a telephone network, a satellite network, or a mobile network, or a combination of two or more or similar networks.

The language learning apparatus 100 may include a connection apparatus, a database, a module, etc. for connecting the above-described learning apparatus to a network, but is already known in addition to the main components constituting the present invention to help the present invention. Description of general components used will be omitted.

2A to 2C illustrate a language sorting method in each memory shown in FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2A, it is assumed that the first memory 110_1 has 10 blocks and one word is stored in each block.

First, words to be provided to a user in the English dictionary built in the language learning apparatus 100 in the form of a database are matched to each block of the first memory 110_1 by the controller 120, and each block includes 'w1, w2,' … English words of 'w10' are stored. The stored words are displayed on the display unit 130 for language learning of the user. The order presented to the user is presented in the order stored in each block.

When the "w1" of the first block 111 is presented to the user through the display unit 130, it is determined whether the user knows the meaning of the word "w1" to operate the pass button or the fail button. Distinguish between memorized and unmemored words. When a pass is selected by the user, "w1" of the first block 111 is moved and stored in the first block 114 of the second memory 110_2 with the meaning. If fail is selected by the user, "w1" of the first block 111 is stored by moving its position to the last block of the first memory 110_1 with its meaning. The words continuously presented to the user are provided in the first memory 110_1 until the second memory 110_2 is activated.

That is, from the user's point of view, a word that is not memorized by using the memory and the method of arranging words in the memory as described above can be continuously presented in the current memory by shortening the repetition learning cycle. When the next memory is activated and the next memory is activated, the word can be memorized efficiently by repetitive learning. In particular, the language learning apparatus 100 according to the present invention compensates forgotten in the memory after time even if the words are relatively well memorized. According to the language learning proposed by the present invention, the languages are not easily memorized. Shorter repetition cycles maximize repetition effects, and languages that are relatively easy to memorize include the following constructs to make the repetition cycles longer to compensate for the limitations of memory through the human brain and the passage of time: do.

The number of blocks included in the first memory 110_1 and the number of blocks included in the second memory 110_2 are different. The number of blocks included in the n th memory is m _n , and the number of blocks included in the n + 1 th memory is m _{n +1} . m _{n + 1} : m _n may be 1.5 to 2.0. That is, the number of blocks of the n + 1th memory may be 1.5 to 2 times more than the number of blocks of the nth memory.

Therefore, even if all of the words stored in the first memory are moved to the second memory 110_2, not all of the blocks of the second memory 110_2 are filled with words. Therefore, new words are continuously supplied to the first memory 110_1 from the entire word database provided in the language learning apparatus 100, and if the words newly supplied to the first memory 110_1 are also memorized by the user, 2 is moved to the memory (110_2). When the number of words moved to the second memory 110_2 is a predetermined ratio, for example, 95% of the blocks included in the second memory 110_2 are stored as words, the second memory 110_2 is activated. When the second memory 110_2 is activated, the test word provided to the user is provided from the second memory 110_2 instead of the first memory 110_1.

The words provided from the second memory 110_2 are words that are previously provided to the user in the first memory 110_1 and checked as words memorized by the user. The meaning of the words checked as memorized words in the first memory 110_1 may be forgotten according to the passage of time, so that the words are checked again through repetitive learning.

As one means for overcoming the limitation of the passage of time and the human brain capacity, in the present invention, the number of blocks of the second memory 110_2 is configured to be larger than the number of blocks of the first memory 110_1 by a predetermined ratio. In order for the second memory 110_2 to be activated, a block included in the second memory 110_2 must be stored as a certain ratio word to be activated.

Referring to FIG. 2B, "w ₉ " stored in the first block 111 of the first memory 110_1 is stored in the second memory 110_2, which is stored in the next block of the block in which the previous word is stored. For example, "w ₉ " is stored after "w ₈ ". When the second memory 110_2 is activated to present a test word to the user, the second memory 110_2 is presented in the order of the words stored in the second memory 110_2. For example, the word “w ₁ ” is first stored in the second memory 110_2, and when the second memory 110_2 is activated, “w ₁ ” is presented first.

FIG. 2C illustrates a case where the second memory 110_2 is activated when a word is stored in every block of the second memory 110_2. When the second memory is activated, all the words stored in the first memory are deleted. This is to receive and store the word selected as fail and its meaning when the second memory is activated and language learning is started, when the user selects fail.

When presented in the first language on the display unit 150 sequentially from “w ₁ ” to “w ₂₂ ”, the pass corresponds to the first language and the first language when a pass is selected, depending on whether a user's pass or fail is selected. The pair of languages including the second language is moved to the first memory, and if fail is selected, the pair of languages is moved to the third memory. For example, in the case of "w ₁ ", "w ₄ ", "w ₅ ", "w ₆ ", "w ₇ ", and "w ₉ ", fail is selected and "w ₁ : w ₁ '" (w ₁ ' is The second language corresponds to the meaning of w _1. ) The remainder is likewise "w ₄ : w ₄ '", "w ₅ : w ₅ '", "w ₆ : w ₆ '", "w ₇ : w ₇ '"," w ₉ : w ₉ '"are stored in the first memory. In FIG. 2C, the moving from the second memory to the first memory includes not only the first language but also a pair of languages including the first language and the second language corresponding to the first language as described above.

In the case of " w ₂ ","w ₃ "," w ₈ "," w _{10 &} quot ;, the pass is selected and moved and stored in the third memory in a pair of languages as described above.

Therefore, when a certain percentage of words are stored in the third memory 110_3 block due to the large number of pass selections, the third memory 110_3 is activated and the words provided to the user's language learning are provided in the third memory 110_3.

3A to 3B illustrate a Chinese language learning process of a language learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4A to 4B illustrate an English word learning process of a language learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is.

3A to 3B and 4A to 4B, the display unit 130 of the language learning apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention displays a first language (which is provided as a test language to a user). The first interface 131 is configured to include a second interface 132 that visually represents the language learning process of the user.

After the English word, Korean, etc. are presented in the first interface 131, a meaning of the English word or a Chinese character corresponding to the Korean word is presented. The second interface 132 includes a visual interface 132_a and a second memory of the first memory, which are stored in a block of the first memory 110_1 or visually indicate a process of moving a word from the first memory 110_1 to another memory. Visual interface 132_b,... And a visual interface 132_e of the fifth memory.

Referring to FIG. 3B, when pass is selected while language learning is performed in the second memory 110_2, the first block of the visual interface 132_c of the third memory is filled with a predetermined color, and correspondingly, In the visual interface 132_b of the two memories, a predetermined color disappears to indicate that the stored word has escaped (132_1).

4A to 4B illustrate a process of learning an English word. If the user knows the meaning of "invasion", the user selects pass and if the user does not know, select fail to store the "invasion" in another memory. You will know.

However, the interface 132 that visually displays the process of moving and storing words in the memory does not cause a visual change every time the words are moved in each block of the actual memory. For example, when there is one word in each block of the memory, the movement of the words stored in each block and the change in the above-described visual display interface 132 may be matched 1: 1. The number of words stored in a block is not fixed to one. The number of words stored in each block of the physical memory may be two or may be three.

Therefore, when there are three words stored in each block of the memory, a change occurs in the interface 132 which visually displays only when all three words pass. That is, the color of one block of the second memory is deleted and the color of one block of the third memory is filled.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a language learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the user may select a language to learn. For example, the English-Korean mode in which the first language according to the present invention is presented in English and the second language corresponding to the first language is presented in Korean, the Chinese-Korean mode in which the first language is Chinese and the second language is Korean, The user may select a Japanese-Korean mode in which the language is Japanese and the second language is Korean (S501).

In the case of starting language learning for the first time, the first language is displayed from the first memory (S503), but a personal learning process may be stored as an ID registered by registering a user identification ID for each user and may start from the nth memory.

In order to test whether the user is memorizing, a first language is displayed from the nth memory through the first interface 131 of the display unit 130 (S503). In operation S505, the first language may be selected as a pass or a fail whether the recognized first language is recognized by the user. If the second language corresponding to the first language, for example, the first language is “invasion” regardless of the pass or fail, the second language “invasion” corresponding to the first language 131 of the display unit 150 is determined. Is displayed.

Thereafter, when the user selects pass, the first language is stored in the n + 1 th memory 110_n + 1. More specifically, among the blocks of the n + 1th memory 110_n + 1, the predetermined language is stored in the next block of the block in which the predetermined language is stored (S509). It is determined whether the n + 1th memory 110_n + 1 is activated by selecting the pass (S511). For example, the n + 1th memory 110_n + has a predetermined ratio or more in each block of the n + 1th memory 110_n + 1. If more than 95% of the blocks in 1) are stored in the language, the language stored in the nth memory 110_n is deleted (S521). If the n + 1th memory 110_n + 1 is not activated, the first word is continuously displayed through the nth memory 110_n providing a language used for language learning (S503). This repeating process is repeated until the n + 1 th memory 110_n + 1 is activated.

If the user does not recognize the first word and selects fail, the second language corresponding to the first word is displayed (S507), and the first language is stored as the last block of each block of the n-th memory.

If the n-th memory 110_n-1 is activated according to the fail selection (S519: yes), the languages stored in the n-th memory are deleted (S521). However, if fail is selected but the n-th memory 110_n-1 is not activated yet, the step S503 of displaying the first language from the n-th memory 110_n is repeated.

On the other hand, when n = 1, that is, when a fail situation occurs in the first memory 110_1, the first language is moved to the block at the last position of the first memory 110_1 and stored and repeated learning until the memory is sufficiently memorized. . In addition, even if the user does not know the first language clearly presented, the user may select fail to be repeatedly presented in a short time.

Therefore, when using the language learning method according to the present invention, the subjective judgment process of the learner and such a judgment process can be objectively reflected to be an optimal repetitive learning.

In order to describe an embodiment in which another language learning method is applied to an embodiment of the present invention, a total of 30 words may be stored in the first memory 110_1 and 51 words may be stored in the second memory 110_2. It is assumed that 86 words can be stored in the third memory 110_3. In addition, the second memory 110_2 may be activated when at least 48 words are stored, and the third memory 110_3 may be activated when at least 81 words are stored.

When the user first receives the three first languages through the display unit 150, the user checks his / her memorization state in consideration of the meaning of each word, and selects pass or fail through the input unit 140. As a result of 30 cycles of one word check, 25 words are determined to be memorized and stored in the second memory 110_2, and the remaining five words are continuously stored in the first memory 110_1. When the 25 words are located in the second memory 110_2, new words are continuously supplied to the first memory 110_1 so that 30 words are always kept full.

Since only 25 words are stored in the second memory 110_2, word learning is continued through the first memory 110_1. As a result, when the number of words stored in the second memory 110_2 is 48, the second memory 110_2 is activated, and thereafter, the second memory 110_2 provides the first word through the display unit 150.

Among the 48 words, there may be words that are memorized well while those that are not memorized well. In particular, the words stored in the second memory 110_2 at the beginning of word learning, that is, the initial words among the words provided in the second memory 110_2 are words that are relatively well memorized in the first memory 110_1. However, the first word immediately before the second memory 110_2 is activated is a word that is relatively memorized and is words that are repeatedly learned in the first memory 110_1. Accordingly, the number of times the 48 words may be repeated for each individual word may vary.

When all of the 48 words are memorized well and stored in the third memory 110_3, 81 words must be stored in the third memory to be activated. All words stored in the second memory 110_2 are memorized. As a result, word storage is started again from the first memory 110_1 to store up to 81 words in the third memory. The word memory is moved to the third memory 110_3 through the first memory 110_1 and the second memory 110_2 through the word learning as described above, and the number of words stored is 33, which is 81, combined with the previous 48, to form the third memory. 110_3 is activated.

In the language learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention, not only the case of performing efficient repetitive learning through the process of presenting the first language and confirming whether the second language is recognized, the language of the first language is presented. It also includes the process of checking whether the first language and the second language are applied at the same time.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. For example, the program for realizing the method for controlling the language learning method of the present invention may be implemented in various forms such as a form of a storage medium in which a program is recorded. In particular, the storage medium on which the program is recorded may be applied to various portable terminals. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive.

The scope of the present invention is indicated by the scope of the following claims rather than the detailed description, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and the equivalent concept are included in the scope of the present invention. Should be interpreted. For example, the scope of the language learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of checking whether the second language corresponding to the first language is recognized after presenting the first language. After presenting, the configuration may be changed to a configuration for checking whether the first language corresponding to the second language is recognized. In addition, the first language and the second language may be implemented by changing the configuration to be presented to the user at the same time.
