Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for deriving a proposal list for science education content based on the inventory of science teaching aids. Background Technology

[0003] Unless otherwise indicated in this specification, the contents described in this section are not prior art for the claims of this application, and are not to be recognized as prior art simply because they are included in this section.

[0004] As the importance of science education is emphasized, educational institutions such as elementary, middle, and high schools are actively adopting experiment and experience-based science education content, leading to a continuous increase in demand for various science teaching aids. While these aids are supplied regularly according to educational objectives, suppliers frequently face situations where a certain quantity of the equipment remains as inventory.

[0005] Meanwhile, since science education content is often structured based on the use of specific teaching aids, proposing educational content linked to the characteristics of those aids offers the advantage of increasing the adoption rate by educational institutions. However, there has previously been a lack of a method to systematically analyze the correlation between a supplier's inventory and science education content, and to automatically derive and propose content suitable for the institution based on this analysis.

[0006] Therefore, there is a growing need for technology that automatically analyzes and derives science education content capable of utilizing science teaching aids based on inventory data held by users supplying such aids, and proposes this content to educational institutions, thereby enabling the efficient depletion of inventory while simultaneously providing content that meets the demands of the educational field. This invention is based on the technical challenge of solving these problems. Prior art literature

[0012] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a memory and a processor connected to the memory, and the processor receives information regarding the inventory quantity of each science teaching aid from a user terminal, derives a recommendation score for science education content based on the inventory quantity of each science teaching aid, sets science education content whose recommendation score exceeds a preset threshold recommendation score as recommended science education content, aggregates the recommended science education content to generate a science education suggestion list, and transmits the science education suggestion list to the user terminal.

[0013] At this time, the processor can derive the recommendation score for the entire science education content based on a content DB containing information about the science education content and the science teaching aids used in the science education content, and the inventory quantity of each science teaching aid used in the science education content.

[0014] At this time, the science education proposal list may be a list in which the recommended science education content and the science teaching aids used in the recommended science education content are sorted in descending order based on the recommendation score.

[0015] At this time, the processor derives the recommendation score for the science education content based on the inventory quantity of each science teaching aid used in the science education content, and can derive the recommendation score by reflecting the inverse utilization coefficient pre-set for each science teaching aid.

[0016] At this time, the processor can set the inverse utilization coefficient for the science teaching aid based on the utilization count, which represents the number of science education contents in which the science teaching aid is used.

[0017] At this time, the above recommendation score is derived by the following mathematical formula,

[0018]

[0019] rs represents the recommendation score for the science education content, n represents the number of science teaching aids used in the science education content, iu_i represents the inverse utilization coefficient for the i-th science teaching aid among the science teaching aids used in the science education content, s_i represents the stock quantity of the i-th science teaching aid among the science teaching aids used in the science education content, iu_max represents the inverse utilization coefficient for the science teaching aid with the largest stock quantity among all science teaching aids, and s_max represents the stock quantity of the science teaching aid with the largest stock quantity among all science teaching aids.

[0020] At this time, the above-mentioned inverse utilization coefficient is derived by the following mathematical formula,

[0021]

[0022] iu represents the inverse utilization coefficient for the science teaching aid, un_max represents the largest value among the utilization counts of all science teaching aids, un_min represents the smallest value among the utilization counts of all science teaching aids, and un may represent the utilization count of the science teaching aid. Effects of the invention

[0024] As such, according to one embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus and method for deriving a proposal list for science education content based on the inventory of science teaching aids can be provided.

[0025] The effects obtainable from the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned effects will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0027] Other aspects, features, and benefits of specific preferred embodiments of the present invention, as described above, will become more apparent from the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a device for deriving a proposal list for science education content based on the inventory of science teaching aids according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a drawing showing a content DB according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a drawing showing a list of science education proposals according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a method for deriving a proposal list for science education content based on the inventory of science teaching aids according to one embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that in the drawings above, similar reference numbers are used to illustrate identical or similar elements, features, and structures. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0028] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0029] In describing the embodiments, technical details that are well known in the technical field to which the present invention belongs and are not directly related to the present invention are omitted. This is intended to convey the essence of the present invention more clearly without obscuring it by omitting unnecessary explanations.

[0030] For the same reason, some components in the attached drawings have been exaggerated, omitted, or schematically depicted. Additionally, the size of each component does not entirely reflect its actual dimensions. Identical or corresponding components in each drawing have been assigned the same reference numbers.

[0031] The advantages and features of the present invention and the methods for achieving them will become clear by referring to the embodiments described below in detail together with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below but can be implemented in various different forms. These embodiments are provided merely to ensure that the disclosure of the present invention is complete and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the invention, and the present invention is defined only by the scope of the claims. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same components.

[0032] At this point, it will be understood that each block of the process flow diagrams and combinations of the flow diagrams can be executed by computer program instructions. Since these computer program instructions can be loaded into the processor of a general-purpose computer, a special-purpose computer, or other programmable data processing equipment, the instructions executed through the processor of the computer or other programmable data processing equipment create means to perform the functions described in the flow diagram block(s). Since these computer program instructions can also be stored in computer-available or computer-readable memory that can be directed toward the computer or other programmable data processing equipment to implement the function in a specific way, the instructions stored in computer-available or computer-readable memory can also produce a manufactured item containing the means of instruction to perform the function described in the flow diagram block(s). Since computer program instructions can be loaded onto a computer or other programmable data processing equipment, instructions that perform a series of operation steps on the computer or other programmable data processing equipment to create a process executed by the computer can also provide steps for executing the functions described in the flowchart block(s).

[0033] Additionally, each block may represent a module, segment, or part of code containing one or more executable instructions for executing a specified logical function(s). It should also be noted that in some alternative execution examples, the functions mentioned in the blocks may occur out of order. For instance, two blocks described in succession may actually be executed substantially simultaneously, or the blocks may be executed in reverse order according to their corresponding functions.

[0034] In this embodiment, the term "part" refers to a software or hardware component such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and the "part" performs certain roles. However, the meaning of "part" is not limited to software or hardware. The "part" may be configured to reside in an addressable storage medium or configured to run one or more processors. Accordingly, as an example, the "part" includes components such as software components, object-oriented software components, class components, and task components, as well as processes, functions, attributes, procedures, subroutines, segments of program code, drivers, firmware, microcode, circuits, data, databases, data structures, tables, arrays, and variables. The functions provided within the components and "parts" may be combined into a smaller number of components and "parts" or further separated into additional components and "parts." In addition, the components and '~parts' may be implemented to play one or more CPUs within the device or secure multimedia card.

[0035] In describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, the primary focus will be on examples of specific systems, but the main point claimed in this specification is applicable to other communication systems and services having a similar technical background without significantly departing from the scope disclosed in this specification, and this will be possible at the judgment of a person with skilled technical knowledge in the relevant technical field.

[0036] FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a device for deriving a proposal list for science education content based on the inventory of science teaching aids according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 1, a device for deriving a proposal list for science education content based on the inventory of science teaching aids according to one embodiment of the present invention can generate a science education proposal list and provide it to the seller, i.e., the user, so that the seller of science teaching aids can propose science education content that utilizes science teaching aids with a large remaining inventory to the school.

[0038] This has the effect of generating additional economic activity, clearing out inventory, and providing students with opportunities for additional education.

[0040] Meanwhile, the device for deriving a proposal list for science education content based on the inventory of science teaching aids may also be referred to as an 'electronic device (100)' in the present invention.

[0041] At this time, the user terminal may include a communication-enabled desktop computer, laptop computer, notebook, smartphone, tablet PC, mobile phone, smart watch, smart glass, e-book reader, PMP (portable multimedia player), portable game console, navigation device, digital camera, DMB (digital multimedia broadcasting) player, digital audio recorder, digital audio player, digital video recorder, digital video player, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), etc.

[0043] FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an electronic device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] An electronic device (100) according to one embodiment includes a processor (110) and a memory (120). The processor (110) can perform at least one of the methods described above. The memory (120) can store information related to the method described above or store a program in which the method described above is implemented. The memory (120) may be volatile memory or non-volatile memory. The memory (120) may be referred to as a 'database', 'storage unit', etc.

[0045] The processor (110) can execute a program and control the electronic device (100). The code of the program executed by the processor (110) can be stored in memory (120). The device (100) can be connected to an external device (e.g., a personal computer or a network) through an input / output device (not shown) and exchange data.

[0046] At this time, the processor (110) can receive information about the stock quantity of each science teaching aid from the user terminal.

[0047] In addition, the above processor can derive a recommendation score for science education content based on the inventory quantity of each science teaching aid. At this time, the derivation of the recommendation score will be described in more detail later.

[0048] In addition, the processor can set science education content as recommended science education content if the recommendation score exceeds a preset threshold recommendation score.

[0049] At this time, the above threshold recommendation score may be arbitrarily set by the administrator of the present invention, or may be set as the average of the recommendation scores for all science education content.

[0050] In addition, the processor can aggregate the recommended science education content to generate a science education suggestion list and transmit the science education suggestion list to the user terminal.

[0052] FIG. 3 is a drawing showing a content DB according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 3, the electronic device is characterized by the processor deriving the recommendation score for the entire science education content based on a content DB containing information about the science education content and the science teaching aids used in the science education content, and the inventory quantity of each science teaching aid used in the science education content.

[0054] In this case, in order to ship out science teaching aids with large remaining stock, high recommendation scores may be generated for science education content that utilizes such aids. This will be described in more detail later.

[0056] FIG. 4 is a drawing showing a list of science education proposals according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] Referring to Fig. 4, the science education suggestion list may be a list in which the recommended science education content and the science teaching aids used in the recommended science education content are sorted in descending order based on the recommendation score.

[0058] Through this, the user can deliver the aforementioned list of science education proposals to school officials to enable additional orders, and the school may have the opportunity to provide additional science education to students.

[0060] For the primary effect of the present invention, a high recommendation score must be derived for science education content using science teaching aids with large stock quantities so that such aids can be shipped. However, in the case of science teaching aids with high usability or versatility, a large stock quantity cannot necessarily be considered obsolete inventory, and since the shipping speed is likely to be fast, it may be desirable to derive the recommendation score by considering the usability or versatility of the relevant science teaching aid.

[0061] To this end, the processor derives the recommendation score for the science education content based on the inventory quantity of each science teaching aid used in the science education content, and can derive the recommendation score by reflecting a pre-set reverse utilization coefficient for each science teaching aid.

[0062] Looking more closely, the processor can set the inverse utilization coefficient for the science teaching aid based on the utilization count, which represents the number of science education contents in which the science teaching aid is used.

[0063] At this time, the above-mentioned reverse utilization coefficient is a coefficient that has a smaller value as the number of science education contents using the science teaching aid increases, and will be described in more detail later.

[0065] At this time, the above recommendation score can be derived by the following mathematical formula 1.

[0066] [Mathematical Formula 1]

[0067]

[0068] At this time, rs represents the recommendation score for the science education content, n represents the number of science teaching aids used in the science education content, iu_i represents the inverse utilization coefficient for the i-th science teaching aid among the science teaching aids used in the science education content, s_i represents the stock quantity of the i-th science teaching aid among the science teaching aids used in the science education content, iu_max represents the inverse utilization coefficient for the science teaching aid with the largest stock quantity among all science teaching aids, and s_max represents the stock quantity of the science teaching aid with the largest stock quantity among all science teaching aids.

[0069] At this time, the above-mentioned inverse utilization coefficient can be derived by the following mathematical formula 2.

[0070] [Mathematical Formula 2]

[0071]

[0072] In this case, iu represents the inverse utilization coefficient for the science teaching aid, un_max represents the largest value among the utilization counts of all science teaching aids, un_min represents the smallest value among the utilization counts of all science teaching aids, and un may represent the utilization count of the science teaching aid.

[0073] Through this, recommendation scores for science education content can be derived based on the inventory of science teaching aids, while reflecting the usability of the relevant science teaching aids to derive recommendation scores that enable practical inventory management, and based on this, the most appropriate list of science education suggestions can be generated and provided to the user.

[0074] This can have the effect of generating additional economic activity, clearing out inventory, and providing students with opportunities for additional education.
