Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional educational content is not customizable to individual students' weak points, leading to inefficient learning and reduced interest due to subjective analysis methods.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that generate structural information of questions using tags for learning themes and intentions, calculating a user conquest rate to provide user-customized content by indexing incorrect-answer tags and analyzing user test results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If package-type educational content is provided to all students, then the content can be delivered efficiently, but the content cannot be customized to individual students' weak points

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery efficiencyVSAvoidcontent customization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments educational content into standardized question units with structured metadata (tags, difficulty levels, knowledge points). This allows the system to efficiently manage and deliver content while simultaneously customizing selections based on individual student needs, resolving the contradiction between delivery efficiency and content adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by introducing structured metadata tags and conquest rate metrics to question content. These parameters enable automated analysis and customization of educational content based on student performance data, allowing efficient delivery of personalized content recommendations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If conventional subjective analysis methods are used to analyze students, then the analysis process is simple, but the analysis accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis process simplicityVSAvoidstudent weakness detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by tracking student conquest rates (correct answer rates) for different question types and knowledge points. This quantitative feedback enables accurate identification of student weaknesses through objective data analysis rather than subjective judgment, improving measurement precision while maintaining manageable system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces subjective human analysis with automated computational analysis of structured data. By substituting manual subjective assessment with algorithmic processing of conquest rate metrics and tagged question data, the system achieves higher accuracy without proportionally increasing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Quantity of substance

If students work through all questions in a collection, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but learning efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequestion coverageVSAvoidlearning efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by recommending only the specific subset of questions most relevant to each student's identified weaknesses, rather than requiring completion of all questions. This targeted approach maintains adequate coverage of essential knowledge areas while significantly improving learning efficiency by eliminating redundant practice

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of student performance data to identify weakness patterns before generating personalized question recommendations. This preliminary action enables the system to pre-filter and select only the most beneficial questions for each student, avoiding unnecessary questions and improving learning efficiency from the outset

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a method for providing a customized educational content by an electronic device, the method including: a step a of generating a set of tags of sub-learning elements by listing a learning element of a particular subject in a tree structure, and designating analysis groups of the tags; a step b of generating structural information of a question by indexing an incorrect-answer tag to each of distractors of the question; a step c of inquiring about a result of a user test so as to calculate a user conquest rate for each of the analysis groups; and a step d of providing a user-customized question by using at least one of the structural information of the question and the user conquest rate.
