Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional learning applications struggle to effectively display multiple choice question content with long text on small screens, limiting learners' ability to practice and improve their performance by repeatedly solving patterned questions within a time limit, while also providing high usability and readability.

Innovation Solution

A method for displaying learning content on a terminal using multiple layers, where text with questions is shown on a first layer, and question cards with examples are displayed on a second layer, allowing learners to swipe through questions, with features like voice file reproduction and intuitive feedback on correct/incorrect answers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple choice question content with long text is displayed on a small screen, then the learning content can be provided, but the usability and readability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamount of learning contentVSAvoidusability and readability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The learning content is divided into multiple pages, with each page displaying a limited number of questions (e.g., 5 questions per page). This segmentation allows the system to present substantial learning content while maintaining readability by limiting the information density on each screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces navigation controls that allow users to move between pages in a sequential manner. By adding the dimension of page navigation, the system can display more content overall while keeping each individual page manageable in size, thus maintaining usability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If all multiple choice questions are displayed at once, then learners can access all content, but the screen becomes cluttered and hard to read

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility of all questionsVSAvoidscreen layout clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

Questions are segmented into groups that fit within the screen's readable area. Each page displays a manageable number of questions with adequate spacing, preventing clutter while ensuring all questions remain accessible through pagination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system prepares multiple pages of content in advance, organizing questions into logical groups. This preliminary organization ensures that when users navigate through the content, each page is already optimized for readability with proper spacing and layout.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If the screen displays more questions per page, then more content is visible, but the text size and spacing must be reduced, lowering readability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent densityVSAvoidtext readability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the number of questions displayed per page based on screen dimensions and user preferences. This dynamic approach allows optimal content density while maintaining readable text size and spacing by adapting to different viewing conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements adjustable parameters for text size, line spacing, and questions-per-page. By allowing users to modify these parameters, the system can optimize the balance between content density and readability according to individual preferences and screen characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present invention relates to a method for displaying learning content of a terminal and an application program therefor. The method for displaying learning content of a terminal of the present invention comprises the steps of: displaying text with a group of questions on a first layer; displaying a first question card corresponding to a first question on a second layer; and when a continuous touch gesture in a touch input is received in the second layer, displaying, on the second layer, a second question card corresponding to a second question according to the touch gesture, wherein the question card includes one or more examples that are selectable by a learner. According to the present invention, it is possible to effectively display learning content including a large amount of information such as multiple choice questions on a limited size screen.
