Description

1 TARIFF PHONETIC MOUTH SHAPE-SOUND MATCHING AND VERIFICATION SYSTEM TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to the field of foreign language teaching and phonetic training techniques, particularly English. In phonetic education, there are 5 things necessary for students to correctly produce sounds that are difficult to pronounce. It enables the visual and tactile understanding of the positions of the mouth, lips, teeth, and tongue. br phonetic teaching and pronunciation verification system le lg ld r. The invention creates features not found in native speakers or native language habits. Why are sounds like “th”, “v”, “w” and “f” incorrectly articulated? 10 used in the correct production of these sounds. For the purpose of perceiving, comparing and verifying mouth and lip positions. It has been developed and includes a three-dimensional anatomical mouth model and a multi-point pressure sensor (DZS). visual feedback, programmable target profile memory, control circuit, surface The cladding structure and power supply are integrated into the brm system. STATE OF THE ART Current methods for teaching foreign language phonetics mainly rely on verbal explanations and sounds. This is carried out using recordings and k-dimensional phonetic diagrams. These methods by giving the student the opportunity to understand the target sound through auditory and visual schemas Together, sufficient physical understanding of the correct mouth, lip, tooth, and tongue positions. It does not provide this level of service. Especially for Turkish speakers, the sounds “th”, “v” and “w” found in the English language are native to Turkish. It is produced with different articulation patterns resulting from habits. This The situation causes students to repeat the sounds with incorrect lip and tongue positions. 25 This causes and leads to persistent pronunciation errors in the ongoing language learning processes. It extracts. In the solutions provided, the teacher or guide verbally explains the correct lip and tongue position. or by showing one's own face. This approach is used in group class 30. This makes it difficult to provide individual feedback in their environment, given the student's own oral structure. It does not allow for direct comparison of the target location and real-time verification. It does not contain any mechanism. 2 In addition, in the solutions mentioned, multipoint pressure is applied using a three-dimensional anatomical mouth model. The sensor includes a DZSN and a light-emitting diode-based instantaneous feedback system; The student's phonetic profile targets lip pressure distribution while producing their own voice. There is no integrated phonetic validation system that can be compared. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the invention is to enable students to use the correct lips and mouth in foreign language phonetics training. a phonetic that allows it to independently discover and verify its position The aim is to provide a teaching and pronunciation verification system. Another purpose of the invention is to provide real-time assessment through pressure feedback. and individual phonetic practice without the need for teacher intervention. The key is to create a BRS STEM that makes it possible. Another purpose of the invention is to store target pressure profiles for different phonetic sounds and 15 This programmable LRBR compares the pressure distribution applied by the student with these profiles. It is about providing structure. The invention's other purpose is to produce a green light emitting diode signal under correct pressure distribution, eliminating errors. 20 visual feedback structures that produce a signal using a red light-emitting diode in pressure distribution. The goal is to enable students to receive instant verification. Another purpose of the invention is to create a portable, ergonomic, hygienic, and versatile device suitable for various uses. The aim is to provide a phonetic education platform applicable in all educational settings.

In one application of the invention, a three-dimensional anatomical mouth model (1), lips, front teeth a three-dimensional representation of the anatomy of the human mouth, encompassing the region and surface area. It is the main model element. The three-dimensional anatomical mouth model (1) is flexible and transparent. or is made of translucent material. The aforementioned three-dimensional anatomical mouth Model (1), when held next to the student's own mouth area, the target phonetic position 25 a dimension that allows the student to visually compare their own mouth position and is structured with transparency. In one application of the invention, a three-dimensional anatomical mouth model (1) is used for different age groups. and has an ergonomic structure that adapts to different facial anatomy. The three mentioned 30 3D anatomical mouth model (1) thanks to its flexible material structure to the user It provides tactile perception and shows how the mouth, lips, teeth, and tongue regions relate to the target location. It helps in understanding, from a physical perspective, why it needs to be implanted. 4 In one application of the invention, a multi-point pressure sensor dzs (2), three-dimensional anatomy model of mouth nn (1) upper lip, lower lip and lip corner regions integrated It is a sensing structure consisting of multiple sensors. The multi-point pressure sensor in question... dzs (2) contains capacitive or p eoselective sensors. The mentioned multi-point pressure sensor dzs (2), applied by the user to the three-dimensional anatomical mouth model (1) 5 It measures the spatial distribution and intensity of pressure separately. In one application of the invention, the multi-point pressure sensor dzs (2), different English phonetic k will detect differences in lip contact and pressure distribution required for sound production The three-dimensional anatomical mouth model (1) is distributed over the figure. Thanks to this structure, 10 The positions of the lips, teeth, and tongue required for sounds like “th”, “v”, “w”, and “f” Different pressure patterns are being measured. In one application of the invention, a programmable target profile memory (4) is used for each phonetic The sound reference pressure distribution profile is stored in a configurable LRBR memory unit. 15 The programmable target profile memory (4) is used by the educator or system producer. creating independent target profiles for different phonetic sounds, in a way that allows it to be stored, updated and expanded It is structured. The mentioned programmable target profile memory (4) is different in the system. It allows for adaptation to sounds and different educational needs. 20 In one application of the invention, a control circuit (5), multi-point pressure sensor The area receiving the measurement data from dzs (2) can program the said measurement data. comparing the target profile with the reference pressure profile stored in the memory (4) and this According to comparison, the electronic control that manages the visual feedback (3) 25 It is an element of the mentioned control circuit (5), the pressure distribution applied by the user.
