[0023] Please see Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the audio wall chart that is designed to accompany English textbooks according to this invention. Figure 1 As shown, the audio wall chart provided in the first embodiment of the present invention, which is designed to accompany English textbooks, includes at least a wall chart body 1, multiple reading units, multiple function buttons, a speaker, and a printed circuit layer disposed within the wall chart body 1. The wall chart body 1 is positioned above the audio wall chart, and the multiple reading units are evenly distributed below the audio wall chart. The audio wall chart's layer content is designed to accompany English textbooks. The function buttons include a power button 2, a language switching button 3, a loop button 4, a first reading button 5, a test button 6, a volume up button 7, a volume down button 8, a first dictation button 9, a second dictation button 10, a third dictation button 11, a fourth dictation button 12, and multiple music buttons 14. The power button 2, language switching button 3, loop button 4, first reading button 5, test button 6, volume up button 7, volume down button 8, first dictation button 9, and second dictation button 10 are all located on the wall chart body 1, while the third dictation button 11, fourth dictation button 12, and multiple music buttons 14 are all located on the multiple reading units.

[0024] In this invention, the language switching button 3 includes three modes: English reading mode, English-to-Chinese reading mode, and English phonics mode. For example, in English reading mode, it plays "old," "young," "funny," "kind," and "strict." In English-to-Chinese reading mode, it plays "old," "young," "funny," and "strict." In English phonics mode, it plays "old," "old," "old," "young," "funny," "kind," "kind," and "strict," "strict," "strict."

[0025] In this invention, the cycle button 4 is used to continuously play all the words in the audio picture layer. The cycle button 4 can continuously play all the words in the picture layer according to the selected language, and the point-and-read button 5 allows the user to freely click all the small point-and-read buttons on the picture layer.

[0026] In this invention, the test button 6 is used to determine correctness based on different pressing positions. The test button 6 can determine correctness based on the user's different pressing positions. For example, during the test, if the speaker announces "old," and the user presses the small dot button below the word "old," they will hear a praise tone; if they press the wrong button, they will hear an error tone.

[0027] The volume up button 7 is used to increase the speaker volume, and the volume down button 8 is used to decrease the speaker volume.

[0028] In this invention, the first dictation button 9 includes both sequential and randomized Chinese dictation of all words in the audio poster layer, and the second dictation button 10 includes both sequential and randomized English dictation of all words in the audio poster layer. The first dictation button 9 and the second dictation button 10 provide both sequential and randomized Chinese and English dictation for all words in the poster layer.

[0029] The third dictation button 11 contains the Chinese sequential and randomized dictation of all words in the lesson-level layer of the audio poster. The fourth dictation button 12 contains the English sequential and randomized dictation of all words in the lesson-level layer of the poster. The third dictation button 11 and the fourth dictation button 12 on each lesson-level layer are designed for the Chinese and English sequential and randomized dictation of the words in the lesson.

[0030] Specifically, after learning the vocabulary for each lesson in the textbook, if the user wants to dictate the words based on their Chinese names, they press the third dictation button 11. The speaker will announce that the dictation begins in Chinese order. To dictate in random order, press the third dictation button 11 again, and the speaker will announce that the dictation begins in random Chinese order. A reasonable time interval is set between each word. After dictation, the user can check their work against the wall chart. If they forget the order of the random dictation, they can press the third dictation button 11 twice to check. If the user wants to dictate the words based on their English names, they press the fourth dictation button 12. The other operations are the same as for Chinese dictation. When the user wants to review the dictation comprehensively, they press the first dictation button 9 or the second dictation button 10, which covers all the words in the wall chart layer.

[0031] The audio wall chart also features multiple secondary reading buttons 13. The primary reading button 5 allows the user to freely click on all the secondary reading buttons 13 on the wall chart layer.

[0032] In this invention, multiple music mode buttons 14 correspond to different unit songs. Pressing once activates the original version, and pressing again activates the accompaniment version, making it convenient for users to sing along.

[0033] The printed circuit layer includes a power supply, a sound output module, a control circuit, a storage module, and an audio processing module that are electrically connected.

[0034] The power supply is the energy source for the audio-visual wall chart that accompanies the English textbook in this invention, providing the necessary power to various components such as the sound output module, control circuit, storage module, and audio processing module. Its function is to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) to ensure the normal operation of the circuit. The power supply can consist of a transformer and a rectifier. The transformer converts 220V AC to a lower voltage, while the rectifier converts AC to DC.

[0035] The sound output module is responsible for converting audio signals into sound. It can consist of speakers or headphones, converting digital signals into analog signals, and then converting electrical current into sound through a magnetic field. The quality and performance of the sound output module directly affect the sound quality and effect of the audio poster.

[0036] The control circuit is the logic control center that enables the audio-enabled poster function. It coordinates the operation of various components such as the sound output module, storage module, and audio processing module. It can be composed of a microcontroller or microprocessor, and controls the operation of the audio processing and sound output modules by reading data from the storage module, such as the pronunciation of English or Chinese words. The control circuit also implements human-computer interaction functions, such as receiving user input and responding accordingly.

[0037] The storage module stores audio data such as English or Chinese word spellings and program code. It can consist of Flash memory or RAM, used to store digital audio signals and related control programs. The size and performance of the storage module directly affect the storage capacity and operating speed of the audio wall chart.

[0038] The audio processing module is the central component for audio signal processing, responsible for converting digital audio signals into analog signals suitable for output. It can consist of a digital signal processor (DSP) or an audio codec, handling decoding, processing, and encoding of digital audio signals to ensure the quality and effect of the sound output. The audio processing module also implements various sound effects and quality adjustment functions to meet user needs.

[0039] The working principle of the audio wall chart that is designed to accompany English textbooks in this invention is as follows:

[0040] These audio wall charts, designed to accompany English textbooks, offer learners a completely new learning experience. The main body of the charts is typically made of high-quality cardboard, featuring vibrant colors, clear images, and durable construction that is resistant to damage. Multiple interactive units are distributed across the chart, each seamlessly integrated with a corresponding image for easy clicking. These interactive units contain microchips that, upon contact, trigger corresponding audio responses.

[0041] When a learner clicks on a specific interactive reading unit, the built-in microchip transmits a signal to the speaker via a printed circuit layer. The speaker then converts the signal into sound, playing the audio content related to that reading unit. This audio content is paired with English textbooks, providing accurate pronunciation and explanations to help learners better understand and learn.

[0042] In addition, the wall chart is equipped with multiple function buttons, such as volume control buttons and voice switching buttons. Learners can use these buttons to adjust the volume and switch between different voice content according to their needs. This design not only makes learning more convenient but also increases the fun of learning and stimulates learners' interest.

[0043] The printed circuit board layer is the core of the entire wall chart. It is responsible for connecting all the reading units, function buttons, and speakers to achieve signal transmission and conversion. The design requirements for the printed circuit board layer are very high, needing to ensure the stability and accuracy of signal transmission to guarantee the learner's learning effectiveness.

[0044] The beneficial effects of this invention, through the design of the above embodiments, are as follows: It enables the content learned in class to be frequently and readily available to the user; the reproduction of the sound of English words can be achieved through loop playback and point-and-read functions; the reproduction of meaning can be achieved through prompts in the wall chart layer images and switching the language to English-to-Chinese translation mode; the reproduction of form can be achieved through prompts in the wall chart layer words; the test and dictation buttons provided in this invention enable it to possess all four functions of English listening, speaking, reading, and writing, allowing users to check their mastery at any time and promptly identify and address any gaps in their knowledge; it achieves an accurate and convenient learning experience; it not only enhances learners' learning interest and learning outcomes but is also an important innovation in the field of educational technology.

[0045] This invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, but those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and equivalent substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Furthermore, numerous modifications can be made to this invention to suit specific applications without departing from its protection scope. Therefore, this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims.
