Detailed implementation manners

[0038] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and examples thereof are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0039] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. used in the present disclosure are only for distinguishing descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0040] Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of a thinking machine in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, as Figure 1 shown, the thinking machine includes: a question card 100 and a control panel 200. Among them, the question card 100 is detachably connected to the control panel 200. By replacing the question card 100 connected to the control panel 200, the learning content of the thinking machine can be replaced.

[0041] In some embodiments, the question card 100 may include: a first interaction area 110, a second interaction area 120, and a question card identifier 130. Among them, at least one first interaction element 111 is provided in the first interaction area 110, and at least one second interaction element 121 is provided in the second interaction area 120. The question card identifier 130 may be printed on the question card 100 in the form of a two-dimensional code, a bar code, a string, etc.

[0042] Exemplarily, each first interaction element 111 may include at least one of a graphic element and a text element. Similarly, each second interaction element 121 may also include at least one of a graphic element and a text element.

[0043] It can be understood that the designs of the first interaction element 111 and the second interaction element 121 are related to the question content of the question card 100. For example, when the question card 100 is used for children to learn digital or basic mathematical operation knowledge, the first interaction element 111 and the second interaction element 121 may be numbers, mathematical operation symbols, or graphics for showing quantities, etc.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the control panel 200 includes: a control unit 250, an identification unit 240, a touch unit 210, and a feedback unit 220. Among them, the identification unit 240, the touch unit 210, and the feedback unit 220 are respectively connected to the control unit 250.

[0045] The identification unit 240 can be used to identify the question card identifier 130 and send it to the control unit 250. For example, the identification unit 240 can be a camera component.

[0046] The touch unit 210 can be used to detect touch operations on the question card 100. That is to say, the touch unit 210 can detect the touch operations of the user on the first interaction element 111 and the second interaction element 121, and convert them into touch signals and send them to the control unit 250.

[0047] The control unit 250 can be used to obtain the question card 100 resources corresponding to the question card identifier 130, and after the first interaction element 111 in the first interaction area 110 is touched, in response to the touch operation on the second interaction element 121 in the second interaction area 120, find the combined touch result of the first interaction element 111 and the second interaction element 121 in the question card 100 resources.

[0048] The feedback unit 220 is used to output the combined touch result.

[0049] Thus, in the solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the question card has two different interaction areas. By touching the two interaction areas respectively, the combined touch result of the two interaction areas can be output, thereby improving the interactivity of the question card.

[0050] Exemplarily, the control unit 250 can search for the question card 100 resources corresponding to the question card identifier 130 in the storage unit of the control panel 200 locally, or can search for the question card 100 resources corresponding to the question card identifier 130 on a remote server through the network. The question card 100 resources can be the interaction logic of the question card 100, multimedia resources (such as audio resources), etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, the touch unit 210 includes: a cover plate 211 and a plurality of touch detection components 212. Among them, the plurality of touch detection components 212 are respectively connected to the control unit 250 and are used to detect the touch operations of the user. The cover plate 211 covers the plurality of touch detection components 212. The first surface of the cover plate 211 is in contact with the plurality of touch detection components 212, and the second surface of the cover plate 211 is in contact with the question card 100, so that the touch operation of the user on the question card 100 can be fed back to the corresponding touch detection components 212.

[0052] Exemplarily, the touch detection component 212 is a capacitive component, and a plurality of capacitive components form a capacitive array. When the user touches the question card 100, the electric potential of the capacitive component corresponding to the touch position will change. The control unit 250 can determine the touch position of the user by detecting the change in the electric potential of the plurality of capacitive components.

[0053] That is, if the potential of a certain capacitive component in the touch unit 210 changes, it is determined that a touch operation occurs at the position on the question card 100 corresponding to the capacitive component. Among them, the position on the question card 100 corresponding to the capacitive component is the position where the orthographic projection of the capacitive component on the question card 100 is located.

[0054] Exemplarily, the orthographic projection of the first interaction element 111 on the cover plate 211 and the orthographic projection of the second interaction element 121 on the cover plate 211 respectively overlap with the orthographic projections of different touch detection components 212 on the cover plate 211. Thus, the control unit 250 can locate the first interaction element 111 and the second interaction element 121 touched on the question card 100 according to the differences of the touch detection components 212 where touch operations are detected.

[0055] In some embodiments, an identification hole 241 is further provided in the non-touch area of the cover plate 211. Among them, the non-touch area is the area where the cover plate 211 does not contact the multiple touch detection components 212. The identification unit 240 is provided in the identification hole 241, and the orthographic projection of the question card identifier 130 on the cover plate 211 overlaps with the identification hole 241. Thus, when the question card 100 contacts the cover plate 211, the identification unit 240 can identify the question card identifier 130.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first interaction area 110 and the second interaction area 120 can be provided on the first side of the question card 100, and the question card identifier 130 is provided on the second side of the question card 100. Thus, when the question card identifier 130 is identified by the identification unit 240, the first interaction area 110 and the second interaction area 120 can be presented to the user. After the question card identifier 130 is successfully identified, the user can directly perform interaction operations on the first interaction area 110 and the second interaction area 120 without readjusting the position of the question card 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the question card identifier 130 on the first side of the question card 100 does not overlap with both the first interaction area 110 and the second interaction area 120. Thus, two sets of non-interfering question contents can be set on the same question card 100, making effective use of both sides of the question card 100. That is, on the first side of the question card 100, a first interaction area and a second interaction area corresponding to question one, as well as a question identifier corresponding to question two, can be designed; and on the second side of the question card 100, a first interaction area and a second interaction area corresponding to question two, as well as a question identifier corresponding to question one, can be designed.

[0058] In some embodiments, the feedback unit 220 may include a speaker assembly 221 connected to the control unit 250. Correspondingly, the combined touch result feedback through the speaker assembly 221 may include: the audio corresponding to the combination of the first interaction element and the second interaction element.

[0059] In some embodiments, the feedback unit 220 further includes a lighting component 222 connected to the control unit 250. Accordingly, the combined touch results feedback by the lighting component 222 may include: the lighting effects corresponding to the combination of the first interaction element and the second interaction element.

[0060] In some embodiments, the control panel 200 further includes a sound collection unit 230 (e.g., a microphone component) connected to the control unit 250. The control unit 250 can also be used to control the sound collection unit 230 to collect audio after the feedback unit 220 outputs the combined touch results. For example, after the feedback unit 220 outputs audio, audio can be collected, and the control unit 250 can execute preset program instructions to compare the collected audio with the originally output audio, and output the comparison results in the form of a score. Thus, the combined touch of the first interaction element 111 and the second interaction element 121 can be used to implement the function of following the reading of the audio.

[0061] Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also combine the sound collection unit to expand the functionality of the question card.

[0062] For ease of understanding, the following will be combined with Figures 4 to 7 to exemplarily illustrate the question card functions that can be realized under the architecture provided by the present disclosure.

[0063] Figure 4 Fig. shows a schematic diagram of a question card for multiple users to cooperate in answering questions. After the question card is inserted into the control panel and the identification unit completes the identification of the question card identifier, the control unit can obtain the corresponding question card resources.

[0064] The control unit can play the question content corresponding to the question card through the speaker component. For example, "Please select two numbers so that their sum is equal to 31".

[0065] At this time, the parent can first touch the first interaction element "30" or the corresponding insect pattern in the first interaction area 110. Next, the child can select from the three second interaction elements of the numbers "1", "2" and "4" (or their corresponding insect patterns) shown in the second interaction area 120.

[0066] After the child touches any second interaction element, the correct or incorrect combined touch results of the first interaction element and the second interaction element can be prompted by outputting corresponding audio and / or lighting effects.

[0067] Figure 5 Fig. shows a schematic diagram of a question card for multiple users to combine and pair. After the question card is inserted into the control panel and the identification unit completes the identification of the question card identifier, the control unit can obtain the corresponding question card resources.

[0068] The control unit can play the question content corresponding to the question card through the speaker component. For example, "Please select the event and the corresponding emotion."

[0069] At this time, the parent can first select any first interaction element in the first interaction area 110, for example Figure 5 which are thunder and lightning, a child falling, and a toy being damaged in sequence. Next, the child can select any second interaction element in the second interaction area 120, for example Figure 5 which are happy and sad in sequence.

[0070] In this type of question card, the correspondence between the first interaction element and the second interaction element is arbitrary, that is, there is no distinction between correct or incorrect in the combined touch results.

[0071] After the child touches any second interaction element, corresponding audio or a combination of audio and lighting effects can be output to encourage the child to face various events optimistically.

[0072] Figure 6 Fig. shows a schematic diagram of a listening and learning question card. After the question card is inserted into the control panel and the identification unit completes the identification of the question card identifier, the control unit can obtain the corresponding question card resources.

[0073] The user can touch the first interaction element in the first interaction area 110, for example, Figure 6 which are "Classical Chinese Reading", "Classic Poems", "Idiom Stories", and "Heartbeat Radio" in sequence, to select the desired audio type for listening and learning. Next, the playback, pause, and switching of the audio resources of this audio type can be controlled by touching the second interaction element in the second area.

[0074] Figure 7 Fig. shows a schematic diagram of a following-along reading question card. After the question card is inserted into the control panel and the identification unit completes the identification of the question card identifier, the control unit can obtain the corresponding question card resources.

[0075] The user can touch the first interaction element in the first interaction area 110, for example, Figure 7 "The sun shines brightly on the rivers and mountains", "The spring breeze brings the fragrance of flowers and plants", "The mud thaws and the swallows fly", "The sand is warm and the mandarin ducks sleep", to select the poem to interact with. Next, the user can touch the second interaction element in the second interaction area 120, for example, Figure 7 which are "Following-along reading", "Singing reading", "Understanding", "Relating to life" in sequence, so as to implement the corresponding functions for the selected poem.

[0076] Exemplarily, after the user touches the first interaction element "The sun shines brightly on the rivers and mountains" and then touches the second interaction element "Understanding", the control unit will control the speaker component to play the analysis audio of the poem "The sun shines brightly on the rivers and mountains".

[0077] Exemplarily, after the user touches the first interaction element "The sunlit river and mountains look beautiful", and then touches the second interaction element "Follow - up reading", the control unit will control the sound collection unit to collect audio after playing the audio "The sunlit river and mountains look beautiful" through the speaker component. At this time, the user can read the poem "The sunlit river and mountains look beautiful", and the control unit can compare the voice read by the user with the played audio, so as to output the reading score result for the poem "The sunlit river and mountains look beautiful".

[0078] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above - mentioned embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0079] In addition, any combination can be made among various different embodiments of the present disclosure as long as it does not violate the idea of the present disclosure, and it should also be regarded as the content disclosed by the present disclosure.
