[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiments described are subject to various limitations that are technically preferable for implementing the present invention, and therefore the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.

[0010] [Configuration of information processing device] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the appearance of an information processing device 1 in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the information processing device 1 has a wristwatch-type (wristwatch-type) appearance, and is roughly divided into a device main body 101 having a display unit 14 for presenting predetermined information to a user, and a belt unit 102 for attaching the device main body 101 to the user's wrist by wrapping the belt unit 102 around the user's wrist. A bezel 14a is provided on the outer periphery of the display unit 14. A learning application 121 is installed in the information processing device 1, so that the user can use the information processing device 1 to learn.

[0011] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the information processing device 1. As shown in Fig. 2, the information processing device 1 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, an input unit 13, a display unit 14, a sensor unit 15, a clock unit 16, a communication unit 17, and an audio output unit 18, and each unit is connected via a bus 19.

[0012] The control unit 11 is a computer including at least one CPU (Central Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), etc., and controls each part of the information processing device 1. Specifically, the CPU of the control unit 11 reads out a specified program from among system programs and various applications (application programs) stored in the storage unit 12, expands it in the RAM, and executes various processes in cooperation with the expanded program.

[0013] The storage unit 12 is composed of a non-volatile semiconductor memory, a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), etc. The storage unit 12 stores the system program of the information processing device 1, various application programs, and data required for executing the programs. The storage unit 12 is not limited to being built into the information processing device 1, and may include an external recording medium that is detachable from the information processing device 1.

[0014] In this embodiment, the storage unit 12 stores a learning application 121. There are no particular limitations on the learning subject (subject, field, etc.) provided by the learning application 121, but in this embodiment, a case will be described in which the learning application 121 provides a learning function for English words. The storage unit 12 also stores information on a plurality of English words used in the learning application 121 (word identification code, English word, phonetic symbol, meaning (Japanese), audio data, etc.) in association with each other. The information on the English words may include information explaining the meaning of the English words in English. The storage unit 12 also stores the user's (i.e., the learner's) proficiency and learning date and time (the date and time of learning) for each English word used in the learning application 121. Here, the proficiency is a numerical value indicating the degree of proficiency by the user. In this embodiment, the proficiency level is set to four levels from 1 to 4, with 1 being the lowest level and 4 being the highest level. For words that have not yet been presented, the proficiency level is stored as 1, and the learning date and time are left blank. The number of proficiency levels is not particularly limited.

[0015] The input unit 13 is composed of push button switches, a touch panel superimposed on the display unit 14, and the like. The input unit 13 outputs to the control unit 11 an operation signal corresponding to the operation of the push button switch by the user or an operation signal corresponding to the operation of the touch panel.

[0016] The display unit 14 is substantially circular and may be a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) The display is performed based on the control operation of the control unit 11.

[0017] The sensor unit 15 is configured with a 3-axis acceleration sensor, a 3-axis gyro sensor, a 3-axis geomagnetic sensor, a GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor, a heart rate sensor, etc., and acquires measurement data such as acceleration, angular velocity, geomagnetism, GPS information, heart rate, etc., and outputs it to the control unit 11.

[0018] The clock unit 16 includes an oscillator circuit, a frequency divider circuit, a clock circuit, etc., and clocks the current date and time and outputs the clocked result to the control unit 11.

[0019] The communication unit 17 performs communication control for communicating with an external device.

[0020] The audio output unit 18 outputs voice, notification sound, vibration, and the like in accordance with the control operation of the control unit 11.

[0021] [Operation of information processing device] Next, the operation of the information processing device 1 in this embodiment will be described. The control unit 11 cooperates with the learning application 121 to notify the user to study a predetermined number of times (e.g., five times) a day at a predetermined timing (e.g., when a predetermined time arrives). For example, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 14 to display a notification prompting the user to study, and causes the audio output unit 18 to output a notification sound, voice, and / or vibration prompting the user to study. This prompts the user to repeat the study.

[0022] When a predetermined operation is performed by the user via input unit 13 to instruct the start of study, control unit 11 executes a study content display process.

[0023] Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the study content display process. The study content display process is executed by the control unit 11 in cooperation with the study application 121. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of screen transitions on the display unit 14 during the study content display process.

[0024] In the learning content display process, first, the control unit 11 acquires a plurality of English words registered in the learning application 121 (a plurality of English words that can be applied from the learning application 121), the user's proficiency corresponding to each of the plurality of English words, and the learning date and time, which is the date and time when each of the plurality of English words was last learned (step S1). Here, the user's proficiency corresponding to each of the plurality of English words is called the proficiency for each English word.

[0025] Next, the control unit 11 acquires a question set of English words to be quizzed (displayed) from among a plurality of English words (study subjects) based on the acquired information on the proficiency level and study date and time for each English word (step S2). For example, assuming that one set consists of 12 questions, the control unit 11 acquires 12 English words to be quizzed from among a plurality of English words (a plurality of English words registered in the learning application 121) stored in the memory unit 12. Here, the control unit 11 acquires a question set (12 English words) of English words to be quizzed this time (English words corresponding to the proficiency level) from information on the proficiency level and learning date and time of each English word based on, for example, Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, etc. As a result, English words with low proficiency levels and that have been learned a long time ago are preferentially selected and quizzed.

[0026] Next, the control unit 11 sets a variable N to 1 (step S3).

[0027] Next, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 14 to display the first learning content or the second learning content related to the Nth English word based on the proficiency level of the Nth English word (step S4). .

[0028] Here, the first learning content is, for example, content that presents the English words (and their phonetic symbols) to be studied, and the second learning content is content that presents the meanings (meanings in Japanese) or explanations of the English words in the first learning content. In other words, when one of the first learning content and the second learning content is a question, the other is the answer. In the learning content display process, the first learning content and the second learning content are displayed sequentially on the display unit 14. Specifically, first, the first learning content or the second learning content is displayed on the display unit 14, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the content that is not being displayed is displayed in response to a user operation.

[0029] In step S4, the control unit 11 determines the display order of whether the first learning content or the second learning content should be displayed first based on the proficiency of the Nth English word, and displays the determined content on the display unit 14. As a specific example, if the proficiency of the Nth English word is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold, the control unit 11 determines the display order of the first learning content → the second learning content (English word → meaning (Japanese)) (see FIG. 4(a)) (this is the default display order), and if the proficiency of the Nth English word exceeds the predetermined threshold, the control unit 11 determines (changes) the display order of the second learning content → the first learning content (meaning (Japanese) → English word) (see FIG. 4(b)). In step S4, the first learning content or the second learning content related to the Nth English word is displayed on the display unit 14 based on the determined display order. In this embodiment, the screen on which the first learning content or the second learning content is displayed in step S4 is the first screen 141. The screen on which the first learning content or the second learning content is displayed in step S8 is referred to as second screen 142.

[0030] Here, for example, if the first learning content is displayed in the order of the second learning content (English words → meanings (Japanese)) every time (i.e., displayed in a specified display order), as the user's proficiency level increases, the user may feel that this learning is a simple task of simply switching the display, and the learning effect may be weakened. Therefore, by changing the display order of the first learning content and the second learning content according to the user's proficiency level (by using reverse lookup), the user is stimulated, memory is consolidated, and the user can learn efficiently. Note that as the user's proficiency level increases for each English word, the display order for all English words eventually changes to the second learning content → the first learning content (meanings (Japanese) → English words). Therefore, the second learning content → the first learning content (meanings (Japanese) → English words) may be displayed once every few times. For example, if the user is notified to study five times a day, the second learning content → the first learning content is displayed in the specified order (e.g., the third time). In addition, other factors may be added as conditions for the display order of the second learning content → the first learning content as described above. For example, the display order may be changed when the positioning result of the GPS of the sensor unit 15 indicates that the location of the information processing device 1 indicated by the positioning result is the home (the home location has been set in advance). The above location is not limited to the home, and may be a specified facility rather than outdoors. In addition, the display order may be changed when it is determined that the location of the information processing device 1 has not changed (when it is determined that the user who owns the information processing device 1 has not moved) during a specified period (for example, 5 minutes). In addition, only some of the questions in the question set may be displayed in the order of the second learning content → the first learning content. In this case, the some of the questions may be, for example, the top three questions with the highest proficiency out of 12 questions (a specified number may also be used). In addition, for the English word questions (English words) with the highest proficiency or a specified proficiency level or higher (e.g., a numerical value indicating the proficiency level is 3 or higher), the meaning (Japanese) of the English word, which is the second learning content, may be presented in English. In other words, for English words that you have a relatively high level of proficiency with, you can use it like an English-English dictionary, allowing you to learn more efficiently.

[0031] Next, the control unit 11 displays the word "Think!" on the first screen 141 on which the first learning content or the second learning content is displayed on the display unit 14 (step S5), and determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the word "Think!" started to be displayed (step S6).

[0032] Here, the predetermined time during which the word "Think!" is displayed is the minimum display time set to give the user time to think about the answer (thinking time), and while "Think!" is displayed, the user cannot change the screen (switch the content) even if he or she operates it. However, as the proficiency level increases, the user is forced to wait even for things that he or she has already memorized, and the thinking time becomes bothersome for the user. Therefore, it is preferable that the control unit 11 changes the above-mentioned predetermined time according to the proficiency level stored in association with the Nth English word. Specifically, the higher the proficiency level, the shorter the predetermined time is. This makes it possible to efficiently proceed with learning according to the proficiency level. However, in order to prevent the process from becoming an assembly line, it is preferable to set the thinking time to at least one second (not to set the thinking time to 0).

[0033] A countdown display of the remaining thinking time may be added to the "Think!" display. For example, the countdown display may be done by displaying the number of seconds to count down, changing the color of the "Think!" text according to the remaining time (e.g., changing from white to red), or gradually fading out the "Think!" text. By adding a countdown display, it is possible to clearly indicate how much time is left before the user cannot operate the device, thereby reducing user stress. It is also possible to allow the user to intuitively grasp how much time it will take to answer (level of proficiency).

[0034] When it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed since the start of displaying the characters "Think!" (step S6; NO), the control unit 11 repeats the process of step S6.

[0035] If it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of displaying the words "Think!" (step S6; YES), the control unit 11 determines whether the display unit 14 has been swiped or tapped based on an operation signal from the input unit 13 (step S7). When it is determined that the display unit 14 has not been swiped or tapped (step S7; NO), the control unit 11 repeats the process of step S7.

[0036] If it is determined that the display unit 14 has been swiped or tapped (step S7; YES), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 14 to display any of the first learning content or second learning content for the Nth question that is not displayed on the first screen 141 (step S8). In step S8, the display on display unit 14 is switched to the one of the first learning content or the second learning content that is not being displayed. This allows the user to check the answer to the question displayed in step S4.

[0037] Next, the control unit 11 determines whether the display unit 14 has been swiped or tapped, based on the operation signal from the input unit 13 (step S9). When it is determined that the display unit 14 has not been swiped or tapped (step S9; NO), the control unit 11 repeats the process of step S9.

[0038] If it is determined that the display unit 14 has been swiped or tapped (step S9; YES), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 14 to display an input screen 143 for the user to input the learning result of the Nth English word (step S10). On the input screen 143 displayed in step S8, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), the words “How was it?” and “I remembered!!” (first result) indicating that the answer was correct are displayed. There are provided buttons B1 and B2 for selecting "still not sure" (the second result), which indicates that the answer was incorrect (or that the answer was correct but the user is not confident). The user inputs the learning result of the Nth English word by tapping button B1 or button B2. The first result and the second result are not limited to the above examples, and may be, for example, "correct" and "incorrect", "OK" and "NG", etc.

[0039] Note that the input of the learning result of the Nth English word question is not limited to input by tapping on the input screen 143 shown in FIGS. For example, as shown by hatching in Fig. 5, when a swipe operation is performed in a first direction (e.g., the 12 o'clock direction on a clock) along the bezel 14a (the outer periphery (outer edge) of the display unit 14) on the second screen 142 displayed on the display unit 14, the control unit 11 may determine that "I remembered!!" has been input, and when a swipe operation is performed in a second direction (e.g., the 6 o'clock direction on a clock) along the bezel 14a, the control unit 11 may determine that "I still don't think so" has been input. Specifically, when a swipe operation is performed counterclockwise along the bezel 14a from a position near the 3 o'clock position on the display unit 14, the control unit 11 determines that "I remembered!!" has been input, and when a swipe operation is performed clockwise along the bezel 14a from a position near the 3 o'clock position on the clock, the control unit 11 determines that "I still don't think so" has been input. This eliminates the need for an operation to switch from the second screen 142 to the input screen 143, thereby reducing the number of operations (number of screen transitions) performed by the user, and allowing learning to proceed efficiently. The control unit 11 may be configured to input the level of proficiency based on the amount of swiping (the distance on the display unit 14 where the swipe operation is performed from a position (predetermined position) near 3 o'clock). For example, when a swipe operation is performed from the 3 o'clock position to the 12 o'clock position (maximum position) in the first direction, the control unit 11 may determine that the level of proficiency is high, and when a swipe operation is performed from the 3 o'clock position to the 1 o'clock position in the first direction, the control unit 11 may determine that the level of proficiency is medium. This allows the level of proficiency to be input in multiple stages with simple operations, allowing learning to be performed more efficiently.

[0040] 6, when a linear upward swipe operation is performed on the second screen 142 displayed on the display unit 14, the control unit 11 may determine that "I remembered!!" has been input, and when a linear downward swipe operation is performed, the control unit 11 may determine that "I'm still not sure" has been input. This eliminates the need for an operation to switch from the second screen 142 to the input screen 143, thereby reducing the number of operations by the user and enabling learning to proceed efficiently.

[0041] Next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the learning result of the Nth English word has been input based on an operation signal from the input unit 13 (step S11). When it is determined that the learning result of the Nth English word has not been input (step S11; NO), the control unit 11 repeats the process of step S11.

[0042] If it is determined that the learning result for the Nth English word has been input (step S11; YES), the control unit 11 derives and records a new proficiency level for the Nth English word based on the input learning result and the proficiency level stored in the memory unit 12 (step S12). For example, when "I remembered!!" is input as the above-mentioned learning result, the control unit 11 updates the proficiency level stored in the memory unit 12 in association with the Nth English word by increasing it by one. If the upper limit of the proficiency level has already been reached, no update is made. When "I'm still not sure" is input, the control unit 11 updates the proficiency level stored in the memory unit 12 in association with the Nth English word by decreasing it by one. If the lower limit of the proficiency level has already been reached, no update is made. Note that the amount by which the proficiency level is increased when "I remembered!!" is input and the amount by which the proficiency level is decreased when "I'm still not sure" is input are not limited to the above examples.

[0043] Next, the control unit 11 increments the variable N (step S13), and determines whether or not N exceeds the number of questions in the question set (step S14). When it is determined that N does not exceed the number of questions in the question set (step S14; NO), the control unit 11 returns to step S4 and repeats the processes of steps S4 to S14. If it is determined that N exceeds the number of questions in the question set (step S14; YES), control unit 11 ends the study content display process.

[0044] In addition, when determining the English word to be posed this time, the control unit 11 may determine the English word to be posed based on the time interval between the notification prompting the user to study and the time when the user performs a predetermined operation to indicate the start of study. For example, if the time interval between the notification and the user's instruction to start learning is short (below a predetermined threshold), i.e., if the user immediately starts learning, it can be determined that the user is highly motivated to learn. Therefore, by comparing the time interval with a predetermined threshold, if the time interval is below the predetermined threshold, the control unit 11 increases the probability of determining English words with a low level of proficiency (e.g., English words with a level of proficiency below a predetermined threshold) as the subject of a question, compared to when the time interval exceeds the predetermined threshold. This allows the user to focus on learning English words that the user has difficulty remembering when the user is highly motivated to learn, enabling the user to study efficiently.

[0045] On the other hand, if the time interval between the notification and the user's instruction to start learning is long (exceeds a predetermined threshold), the control unit 11 judges whether the user's amount of exercise during that time was large (whether the sensor detection value is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold) based on the detection values ​​of the acceleration sensor and gyro sensor of the sensor unit 15 during that time. If it is judged that the amount of exercise was large, the control unit 11 judges that the user has a desire to learn but is restless, and controls the test to appropriately mix words with high and low proficiency levels. If it is judged that the user has not exercised much, the control unit 11 judges that the user's desire to learn has decreased, and increases the probability of English words with high proficiency (for example, English words with a proficiency level exceeding a predetermined threshold) being set as test subjects. In other words, it controls to give priority to words with high proficiency levels. This can increase the user's learning satisfaction, making it possible for the user to study efficiently.

[0046] Furthermore, the control unit 11 may display an input screen on the display unit 14 for the user to input whether or not the user has seen the asked English word in a test. This input screen may be the same as the input screen for the learning result, or a different screen. The control unit 11 may perform control so as to increase the probability that the English word for which "saw it in the test" was input, that is, an English word that is likely to appear in a test, will be asked.

[0047] For example, when the input learning result is "I remembered!!" and the input result for whether or not the word was seen on the test is "I didn't see it on the test," the control unit 11 increases the proficiency level by a larger amount than when the learning result is "I remembered!!" and the input result is "I didn't see it on the test." For example, when the learning result is "I remembered!!" and the input result is "I saw it on the test," the increase in proficiency level is set to 1, and when the learning result is "I remembered!!" and the input result is "I didn't see it on the test," the increase in proficiency level is set to 2. This makes it possible to make English words that "I saw it on the test," i.e., English words that actually appeared on the test, more likely to be asked than English words that did not appear on the test, even if the learning result is the same "I remembered!!," and the user can study efficiently.

[0048] In addition, for example, when the input learning result is "still not sure" and the input result of whether or not you saw it on the test is "seen it on the test," the control unit 11 reduces the proficiency level by a larger amount than when the learning result is "still not sure" and the input result is "did not see it on the test." If the learning result is "still not sure" and the input result is "not seen on the test" and the reduction in proficiency level is 1, then the reduction in proficiency level for the learning result is "still not sure" and the input result is "seen on the test" will be 2. This allows users to study more efficiently, even if the learning result is the same "still not sure", English words that "saw on the test", i.e. English words that actually appeared on the test, are more likely to appear in questions than English words that did not appear on the test.

[0049] The control unit 11 may also display the first learning content or the second learning content differently depending on the proficiency level so that the user can recognize the proficiency level of the English words to be tested. For example, a table that associates the proficiency level with a background color, a character color, and / or a font may be stored, and when displaying the content, the control unit 11 displays the content in a display mode that corresponds to the proficiency level of the English words to be tested based on the table. This allows the user to grasp the current situation and improves their motivation to study.

[0050] Also, the control unit 11 may have a function of suspending the learning of the English word displayed as a question subject. For example, when the entire screen of the display unit 14 is tapped by covering the entire screen with the palm of the hand, the control unit 11 temporarily stores information on the English word in the RAM and skips it (no further processing is performed on the English word, and the display moves to the display of the next English word). The English word stored in the RAM may be displayed again (for example, the processing of steps S4 to S14 is executed) after the display processing of other English words in the question set (for example, the processing of steps S4 to S14) is completed. This makes it possible to tackle questions that you want to think about carefully at a later time.

[0051] As described above, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 acquires the user's level of proficiency with the English words to be studied, and changes the display order of the first learning content and the second learning content related to the study subject based on the acquired level of proficiency. Therefore, the display order of the first learning content and the second learning content can be changed (reverse lookup) according to the user's level of proficiency, which can stimulate the user and promote memory consolidation. As a result, the user can study efficiently.

[0052] Furthermore, the control unit 11 changes the minimum display time of the first learning content or the second learning content to be displayed first according to the acquired proficiency level. Specifically, the control unit 11 changes the time during which the operation of transitioning the screen display from the learning content to be displayed first to the learning content to be displayed next is enabled. Therefore, the user can efficiently progress with his / her learning according to his / her level of proficiency.

[0053] In addition, the control unit 11 obtains the user's proficiency with the English words to be learned from the memory unit 12, and after displaying the first learning content and the second learning content, accepts input of the user's learning results for the English words, and derives a new proficiency based on the input learning results and the proficiency with the English words stored in the memory unit 12, and stores it in the memory unit 12. Therefore, since a new mastery level is derived based on the user's learning results for the learning subject, it is possible to derive a mastery level that matches the user's current situation.

[0054] Furthermore, since the learning result is input by a swipe operation on the second screen 142 of the display unit 14, the user can efficiently input the learning result.

[0055] For example, the display unit 14 is substantially circular, and the control unit 11 determines that a first result has been input as the learning result when a swipe operation is performed in a first direction along the outer periphery of the display unit 14, and determines that a second result has been input as the learning result when a swipe operation is performed in a second direction different from the first direction along the outer periphery of the display unit 14. Thus, the user can easily see the shape of the display unit 14. Input operations that make use of the shape of the device make it possible to input learning results efficiently.

[0056] Furthermore, the memory unit 12 stores information on the user's level of proficiency and study date and time for each of a plurality of study subjects, and the control unit 11 selects from the plurality of study subjects a study subject to be displayed on the display unit 14 based on the level of proficiency and study date and time for each study subject. Therefore, for example, study subjects with a low level of proficiency and which have been studied for a long time can be preferentially displayed, allowing the user to efficiently progress with their studies.

[0057] Furthermore, the control unit 11 notifies the user at a predetermined timing to encourage the user to study, and based on the time interval from the notification to the user performing a predetermined operation to instruct the user to start studying, determines which of the multiple study subjects to display on the display unit 14. Therefore, since the study subject can be determined according to the user's motivation to study, the user can efficiently proceed with studying.

[0058] For example, when the time interval from notification to the start of learning is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, the control unit 11 increases the probability of determining a learning subject with a low level of proficiency as a display target, compared to when the time interval exceeds the threshold. Therefore, when it is estimated that the user has a high motivation to learn, learning subjects with a low level of proficiency are preferentially displayed, so that the user can efficiently proceed with learning.

[0059] In addition, the first learning content is content that presents the learning subject, and the second learning content is content that presents the meaning or explanation of the learning subject. Therefore, since one of the first learning content and the second learning content is a question and the other is an answer, by switching the display of the first learning content and the second learning content, the question and the answer can be confirmed, enabling efficient learning.

[0060] The above description of the embodiment is merely a preferred example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0061] For example, in the above embodiment, the display order of the first learning content and the second learning content is changed when the proficiency level meets a predetermined condition, but the display order may also be changed based on other predetermined conditions. For example, the display time of the content that was displayed first in the previous question may be stored in the storage unit 12 for each English word, and the control unit 11 may change the display order to the reverse order when the display time of the English word to be posed is shorter than a predetermined threshold. A short display time is considered to indicate that the user was able to answer the question easily, that is, that the user has a high level of proficiency with the English word.

[0062] Alternatively, for example, time periods when the brain is estimated to be inactive, such as when waking up or after a meal, may be stored in the memory unit 12, and if the current time is within one of the stored time periods, the control unit 11 may change the display order of the content to the opposite order from the default display order to promote stimulation. Also, the user's heart rate may be measured by a heart rate meter of the sensor unit 15, and the display order may be changed only when the heart rate is within a stable range. This allows the display order to be changed only when the user is in a calm state.

[0063] In addition, for example, in the above embodiment, the case where the learning object is English words has been described as an example, but the learning object is not limited to this. For example, the learning object may be any field of any subject, such as memorizing a year and a historical event that occurred in that year, or memorizing kanji characters and how to read them.

[0064] In addition, in the above embodiment, information on the study subject (in the above example, information on English words) is stored in advance in the memory unit 12, but it is also possible to allow the user to set or select the study subject.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the information processing device 1 is described as a wristwatch-type terminal device. This allows the user to easily study anywhere, but the information processing device 1 is not limited to a wristwatch type, and may be, for example, a PC (Personal Computer), a smartphone, or a tablet.

[0066] In addition, in the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the functions of the present invention are realized by the information processing device 1 alone, but the data used in the above learning content display process (information on the learning subject (in the above example, word identification code, English words, phonetic symbols, meanings (Japanese), audio data, etc.), as well as the proficiency level and learning date and time for each learning subject for each user, etc.) may be stored in a server connected to the information processing device 1, and the information processing device 1 may obtain this information from the server and execute the above learning content display process to realize the functions of the present invention.

[0067] Also, for example, in the above description, an example is disclosed in which a semiconductor memory, HDD, etc. are used as a computer-readable medium for the program according to the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this example. As other computer-readable media, portable recording media such as CD-ROMs can be applied. Furthermore, carrier waves can also be applied as a medium for providing data of the program according to the present invention via a communication line.

[0068] Although the embodiments and modifications of the present invention have been described above, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, but includes the scope of the invention described in the claims and its equivalents.
