[0005] There are many problems that both teachers and students face during education. The main ones are - outdated way of transmitting knowledge / information, the form of communication of the teacher is often unclear, there is a big difference in the levels / qualifications of teachers, differences in the learning abilities of students, rapid technological and social changes that educational programs cannot keep up with, minimum program for all students, cultural problems, regional differences, migration problem such as war, disability, hospitalization and other difficulties and so on.
[0006] Recently, we have seen the emergence of new technologies, as well as new scientific research and development, which allow us to explain educational materials in different ways, sometimes much more effectively than traditional ones, and help in learning and self-education. New technologies in education change the approach and use new, scientifically based, opportunities for the educational process.
[0007] New technologies are mentally more accessible to pupils and students compared to classical teaching methods. Also, new technologies allow providing the same level of knowledge for both “rich” and “poor” educational institutions, as well as providing the same level of knowledge for both cities and villages. New technologies in education provide an opportunity for self-education and / or distance education.
[0008] Scientific research shows that the knowledge gained at school is, first of all, purely theoretical. Secondly, the knowledge gained at school constitutes approximately 5-7% of the knowledge that is really needed in adult / professional life. The percentage of school knowledge, depending on the various types of school and extracurricular activities, is: 5% - lessons at school, 10% - reading, 20% - audiovisual aids, 30% - demonstrations, 50% - discussion groups, 75% - learning by doing, 90% - learning by teaching others, 95% - learning through games and interaction. The main tools of modern education are lectures, textbooks, work in school classrooms and laboratories, and in labor lessons. Additional tools of modern education include mandatory reading material. The above tools are mandatory, but also outdated.Some teachers occasionally introduce audiovisual aids of various contents into classes, and may occasionally use demonstrations, which generally provides about 30% of the necessary knowledge. Also, the level of knowledge acquisition depends on the students' mental abilities and types of students.

[0045] The information carrier of the teaching aid is presented as a carrier made of paper or other similar material.
[0046] The graphic code must meet the following criteria: the resolution of the graphic code image must be at least 300 x 300 pixels, and the graphic code must fill the camera frame by at least 25% of the camera frame.
[0047] Graphic code images must fill at least 25% of the camera frame that is initially detected. Be flat (e.g. not creased or rotating around). Be in the camera's clear field of view. Graphic code images cannot be partially obscured, viewed at a very oblique angle, or viewed while the camera is moving too quickly due to motion blur.
[0048] CPU Usage: Depending on which ARCore features are already enabled, enabling augmented images may increase ARCore's CPU usage. You may want to consider disabling any features that are not in use. This will make additional CPU cycles available for the proposed solution, and will also improve thermal performance and battery life. Tips for choosing reference images: The image resolution should be at least 300 x 300 pixels. Using high-resolution images does not improve performance. Reference images can be PNG or JPEG. Color information is not used. Both color and grayscale equivalent images can be used as reference images or by users at runtime. Highly compressed images should be avoided as they interfere with feature extraction.Images that contain a large number of geometric elements or very few (such as barcodes, QR codes, logos, and other line art) should be avoided as this will result in poor detection and tracking performance. Images with repeating patterns should be avoided as this can also cause detection and tracking issues. It is better to use the arcoreimg tool, which is part of the ARCore SDK, to get a quality score from 0 to 100 for each image. A quality score of at least 75 is recommended.
[0049] Industrial applicability

The filter output is connected to the data register input, the processor is connected to the filter.
[0051] The proposed interactive teaching aid contains: an interconnected source information carrier of educational materials, a user's electronic device, an optical sensor installed on the user's electronic device, and a module of educational materials. The information carrier is made in the form of a paper carrier of educational information. The source information carrier contains a binding with front and back covers and a page block installed between the front and back covers, on the pages of which text, pictorial, pictorial-text educational material is placed, wherein the source information carrier contains a graphic code made with the possibility of recognizing the sizes of the graphic code by the converter of the optical sensor of the user's electronic device. The optical sensor consists of a matrix and a camera lens. The matrix includes light-sensitive filter elements applied to the matrix surface.The camera lens comprises lenses, a decoder and at least one converter. Each of the lenses is configured to collect a light beam so that it uniformly hits the photosensitive elements of the matrix filters. The converter is configured to send information to the decoder. The decoder is configured to decrypt the code of the number received at the decoder input into an output signal by providing a link to the data of the training materials module (7) on the screen of the user's electronic device, which are encrypted on the information carrier. The training materials module (7) is connected to the user's electronic device and is configured to reproduce data on the screen of the user's electronic device, and is configured to save, find and replenish graphic, text, audio and video information that meets one or more criteria according to the training programs, and is provided with the corresponding databases of training materials.The user's electronic device is connected via at least one communication channel to the server part with the training materials database. The server part comprises a software module (not shown in the figure), an input / output unit (1), an authentication unit (2), an adder (3), a processor (4), RAM (5), and a filter (6). The processor has an input / output connected via a system bus to the inputs / outputs of the RAM. The input / output unit is connected via a system bus to the authentication unit and the adder, which are interconnected. The input / output unit is connected via a system bus to the processor. The input / output unit is connected via a system bus to the data register. The adder is connected via a system bus to the processor. The filter output is connected to the data register input, the processor is connected to the filter. The input / output units of the input / output unit are the input to the system. Inputs / outputs are understood as providing multiple access to the system, where each access request is processed separately.One of the ways to cause a system failure is to send so many requests to the information system that the system server cannot handle them and fails. In the declared solution, when trying to disable the system, a response is sent to each request via the same channel through which the request was received. The input-output unit is based on the MIMD (multiple command stream) processor and performs the function of distributing the input load. That is, it makes it impossible to simultaneously send multiple requests from one address to the system inputs and outputs.
[0052] The input / output unit is connected by a system bus to the authentication unit and the processor. The adder is a digital microcircuit that is programmed to perform the logical operation "TA". That is, the authentication data login and password are correlated with each other, since they are registered for a specific user. The authentication unit is implemented on the basis of a digital logical device, such as a multiplexer. Passing the authentication is confirmed when the login and password match the specified logic and password for a specific user. Then from the adder to the authentication unit, a signal of identity of the entered login and password is sent, which is then sent to the input / output unit to ensure the user's entry to the saved data. The system bus is a communication device for connecting system elements.The bus has a conductive part, such as conductive or optically transparent, which has communication ports at the edges.
[0053] RAM is a storage device that is connected via the system bus to the processor via the system bus. The processor processes requests from authorized and unauthorized users. RAM is designed to form a data packet based on the request data and send this packet to the data register via the processor.
[0054] The processor is made in the form of an integrated circuit that performs the functions of a central processor or a specialized processor. The processor processes data streams. The dependence of the processor load on its temperature is known. Excessive temperature leads to failure of the universal processor. The presence of an input-output block ensures data cutting, which reduces the processor load and extends its service life.
[0055] At the input of the data register there is a filter, which is a digital device that performs the function of cutting off messages if such a cutting algorithm was previously set. The filter is designed with the ability to check the set limit on the direction of certain messages, determine the sender and the number of messages from the sender for a given previous period of time.
[0056] The data register is a digital device based on binary logic, which is connected via the system bus to the filter output. Access to the data register is established by a separate setting, including the installation of identifiers. The data register stores the incoming message or request.
[0057] An optical sensor installed on the user's electronic device allows for the recognition and scanning of graphics installed on the information carrier.
[0058] The main type of matrix used in an optical sensor consists of light-sensitive elements assembled in blocks. In order for the light-sensitive elements to work, special filters are applied to the matrix surface. These filters, mainly, but not limited to, only pass red (Red), green (Green) and blue (Blue) colors, the whole system is called RGB. Having collected several million of these dots (megapixels) together, the processor processes them and assembles them into a finished image. Several lenses are used in the lens design - 4, 5, 7, 8 or more. Each lens is made of special plastic or special glass. Each of them collects a beam of light so that it evenly hits the working part of the matrix.
[0059] The proposed electronic automated system can be used as an information system for digitalization of the educational process and distance learning.
[0060] The proposed teaching aid can be used as an electronic interactive teaching aid for digitalization of the educational process and distance learning.
[0061] The peculiarity of the proposed solution is that, in order to digitalize the educational process, the proposed electronic system recognizes the pages of a textbook (information carrier) made on paper from a telephone, smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer or other digital electronic device.
[0062] The information carrier is presented as a carrier made of paper or other similar material, and which contains a binding with front and back covers and a page block installed between the front and back covers, on the pages of which text, pictorial, pictorial-textual educational material is placed. The peculiarity of the proposed solution is that, in order to digitize the educational process, the proposed educational manual is made with the ability to recognize from a telephone, smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer or other digital electronic device "recognizes" (scans) the pages of the textbook (information carrier), made on paper or on any other similar material. The information carrier is presented as a carrier made on paper or other similar material.
[0063] The proposed technical solutions are created on the Google Lens engine.
[0064] Unlike the QR code functionality, the proposed solutions do not require additional graphics in the form of a QR code. The technical solutions are monochrome and recognize graphics on paper pages.
[0065] Graphics, graphic code installed on the information carrier are printed and must comply with certain parameters. In particular, but not limited to, must comply with recognizable contours, sizes, contrast and other indicators. Each graphic element or text page (as graphics) is measured / read / recognized by electronic means. The sizes / characteristics of this graphics are entered into the memory of the technical solution. From this moment, the technical solution recognizes the graphics and redirects the user to a certain (entered manually) place in the IT resources (the so-called training material module). This may be, but is not limited to, a server, a specific website or other IT places. The content of the IT resources, as well as the redirection addresses, can be filled and changed by the owners of the technical solution.Whenever the user accesses the electronic system, the technical solution first redirects to the server of the technical solution owners. There, the user finds an icon and a brief description of the content and other information. Usually, after clicking the icon, the user is redirected to the location with IT resources selected by the technical solution owners. Having recognized the page on paper, the technical solution on the phone / tablet / desktop redirects the user to IT / digital resources. This happens at any time / in any place, via the Internet, when the user is actively and effectively participating in the training using the textbook. IT / digital resources are resources accessible via the Internet or local networks, located / protected on computers, servers, stored in digital form (0 and 1).IT / digital resources for a specific textbook can be: created specifically for this purpose (for the needs of each specific textbook) or already existing as IT resources (by different authors) and / or those that will appear along with changes in educational, technological and other needs. It is possible to replace or add new IT resources by the authors of the technical solution. It is possible to use an already existing huge number of IT / digital resources in a certain area of knowledge. For the needs of the user, student, the most correct content resources are selected for free access, or the most necessary ones are created. Own resources are resources created by the patent owner, company / administrator, author or authors (license) of additional educational content for this textbook and posted on their own or other servers or in other places on the Internet intended for this purpose (patent owner or license).In the case of an e-book, the functionality will be provided by an e-book (device) with a touch screen.
[0066] For example, for a physics textbook, grade X. For the existing paper copy, adaptation is carried out by gluing an installation sticker with a graphic code or printing it on the pages of the paper copy. One for the Android system and one for the IOS system. It is desirable to include ready-made codes, similar to QR codes or QR codes, for new paper copies. The user, student points the camera at the pages in the book. A circle with a triangle in the middle appears on the electronic medium (phone / tablet / desktop computer or any other electronic medium), which means that the user, student can go to digital / IT resources on a specific topic of physics. After pressing the triangle on the display, the technical solution redirects the user, student to the server, or the www page. where the user, student sees a menu with additional digital / IT resources. The user, student selects the additional or alternative resources he needs, for example, on physics.These may be IT / digital resources on the topic of physics required by the user, student. In particular, created specifically for a certain topic of studying physics, the authors of these resources or third parties or ready-made resources, websites created by other Internet users or other information resources. At the same time, the information resources are verified in terms of content and teaching.
[0067] For optimal implementation of the proposed technical solution, it may be necessary to make changes to existing paper textbooks. It may also be necessary to have high-quality printing and graphics on the pages of paper textbooks. The lighting and quality of the paper pages are also important.
[0068] Below are some features of using the proposed solution.

Own files / resources are files / resources created by the authors of the technical solution or third parties by order of the authors of the methodology for specific educational needs. Other files / resources
[0072] - these are Internet / IT resources that already exist in the public domain, created by third parties, etc. Access to "foreign" files / resources is provided by redirecting to sites with these resources. All IT / Internet resources are carefully selected for maximum educational effect.
[0073] File order and features. The files are arranged in the suggested order so that the cognitive effectiveness of the educational question / problem is maximal. For example, but not limited to,
[0074] - first an introductory file, explanatory, then - expanding, supplementary, additional, etc. File types. All types of files, saved digitally and / or "decrypted", are applicable.
[0075] Types, "directions / addresses" of redirection. All website addresses available on the Internet or other digital / IT platforms of this or similar type are suitable.
[0076] Files and redirects can be changed as needed. The goal is to achieve maximum educational effect, which is associated with the possibility of new information or technologies appearing.
[0077] The range of additional materials available in digital form can change in any direction and time. Its size, content, etc. depending on needs, complexity, interest and other various reasons. The system itself can dynamically change and develop.
[0078] Example. The educational problem is studying "Newton's law". a. Classes in a classical school - unchanged. The school curriculum and school textbook - unchanged. b. The student is outside of school, mentally ready for independent learning, opens the textbook and reads the text, looks at the graphics in the textbook - moves to the active self-study phase. c. To get more information, the student launches the proposed electronic system ("Skipper") and "scans" the pages of the book / instructions. d. A menu with additional content appears on the phone / tablet or other suitable electronic device. d. The student selects the element he needs from the additional IT / Internet content. e. Additional content is, for example, but not limited to: i. Physics lessons recorded on a digital camera. ii. Lessons enriched with two-dimensional and three-dimensional animation, commentary, additional explanations, etc. They are extremely educationally effective. iii.Videos on IT / Internet on this issue. iv.
