Solution Overview
Problem
Digital learning applications on preschoolers' devices often lack interactive and varied content, leading to decreased interest and the need for offline teaching methods, which can be inconvenient and costly.
Innovation Solution
A control box that reads codes from RFID tokens and transmits them via Bluetooth to a terminal, allowing for the execution of learning or entertainment applications, enabling interactive and customizable content through a token-based system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If digital learning applications are provided on terminals, then learning content can be accessed conveniently, but the content becomes difficult for preschool learners to progress on their own and easily loses interest
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces physical tokens as intermediaries between the learner and the digital learning content. The tokens are inserted into a token gate, which reads the token information via RFID and transmits it to the terminal to automatically launch the corresponding learning application. This intermediary system enables preschoolers to access learning content without requiring them to manually navigate complex digital interfaces, thereby maintaining ease of operation while improving engagement through tangible, hands-on interaction.
2Adaptability or versatility
If visiting teachers and offline learning methods are used, then interactive teaching can be provided, but simple repetitive content types and contractual constraints occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal learning system where a single terminal device can access multiple learning applications through different tokens. The token gate serves as a multi-functional interface that can read various token types and launch corresponding applications, eliminating the need for separate offline teaching sessions. This universal system provides diverse learning content while simplifying the overall structure by consolidating multiple functions into one integrated device.
3Adaptability or versatility
If smart equipment is used for education, then cognitive ability and thinking ability can be enhanced, but the system becomes more complex and requires manual manipulation of the terminal
Solution Approach 1:
The token gate system performs self-service operations by automatically detecting inserted tokens, reading their RFID information, and transmitting the data to the terminal without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously determines which learning application to launch based on the token content, thereby enhancing educational functionality while eliminating the need for complex manual manipulation of the terminal by the user.
