AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

These devices typically use a specific teaching curriculum or syllabus and do not allow learners to explore content beyond the curriculum, nor do they provide a broad level of interaction between the system and the user
Furthermore, these systems do not allow the use of objects such as cards, toys, sheets in conjunction with the device, which some younger users find natural and fun to use

Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method to enable a user to learn a language using physical objects in a highly interactive and free play format. The system uses an interactive surface without a visual electronic display with an array of embedded capacitance sensors and RF antennas operatively linked to a computer system, and a plurality of physical objects, each embedded with an RFID tag and a capacitance tab for activating the capacitance sensor, and each marked with a printed language element such as a letter of the alphabet. Upon a plurality of objects having been placed on the interactive surface, an end-user touches an object to receive feedback selected from a language feedback database that is specifically related to the language element of the object having been touched.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and device for learning languages, more particularly, an interactive surface for learning alphabetic languages ​​using objects printed with elements. Background technique [0002] Methods of getting children (and adults who are learning a new language, illiterate, and adults with learning disabilities) to read alphabetic languages ​​on their own (ie, without parental or teacher assistance) are known. Generally, these methods can be divided into two broad categories: traditional instructional methods using elementary reading books and flashcards, and modern instructional techniques using television programs (such as Sesame Street), software, and web-based materials (eg www.starfall.com), or recent app-based material (eg: check your pronunciation). [0003] The traditional method of using reading books or flash cards (often colorful and vividly designed to appeal to children) is a time-tested method for teaching...
