[0035] Example 2

[0036] refer to Figure 3 This embodiment provides a prompting module different from that in Embodiment 1. The prompting module is an electronically controlled photochromic glass module 5, which includes: Multiple electronically controlled photochromic glass 5 are respectively set to correspond to multiple target letter areas, and the electronically controlled photochromic glass 5 is used to block the letters in the corresponding target letter areas; Multiple touch buttons are provided, and multiple touch buttons are correspondingly set with multiple electrically controlled photochromic glass 5. The multiple touch buttons are electrically connected to the multiple electrically controlled photochromic glass 5 respectively. When a user touches the touch button, the corresponding electronically controlled color-changing glass 5 becomes transparent to display the corresponding letter.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] This embodiment provides an interactive English word spelling training method, using an interactive English word spelling training device from Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, including the following steps: S1. Display the target Chinese content and the corresponding English content on the display screen 2. At this time, the electronically controlled color-changing glass 5 unit of the prompt module is in an opaque state, blocking the English letters, or, it can be blocked by the press-type blocking plate 6. S2. According to the learning needs, the user can selectively press the touch button to control the corresponding electronically controlled color-changing glass 5 unit to switch to the transparent state and obtain letter prompts, or, the user can reveal the letters through the press-type shield 6 and obtain letter prompts. S3. The user slides the letter pieces along slide 3 and pushes the letter pieces that they think correspond to the English content into the test area 8 to complete the letter arrangement. S4. The recognition module detects the arrangement order of letters in test area 8 and transmits the recognition result to the control module. S5. The control module compares the recognized arrangement order with the pre-stored standard English letter sequence. If they match, the corresponding indicator light 7 is turned on and a correct prompt sound is emitted; if they do not match, the corresponding indicator light 7 is turned off and an error prompt sound is emitted.

[0039] For example, after pressing the switch button, the upper area of ​​the display screen shows "red" and the lower area shows "red". At this time, the three target letter areas are blocked by the electronically controlled color-changing glass, and the three LED indicator lights below them are not lit.

[0040] When users see the Chinese characters in red, they can try to spell them. If they are unsure about the third letter, they can touch the touch button corresponding to the third letter to make the glass transparent, or press the cover to reveal the letter "d" and get a hint.

[0041] Then, the user finds the letter sliders (R, E, D) that make up "red" on the slides on both sides, and slides them one by one along their respective slides into the test area at the end.

[0042] When the letter slider enters the test area, the system reads all the letters corresponding to the triggered sensors and combines them into a string in the reading order. This string is then compared with the pre-stored "red" in the database. If they match perfectly, the three LED indicators in the lower area send a lighting signal, and the correct prompt tone is played to the audio generator. If they do not match, the correct LED indicator lights up, while the incorrect LED remains off. At the same time, the audio generator plays an error prompt tone. The user can quickly locate the incorrect position and correct the slider based on the off indicator lights.
