The present disclosure relates to a method for displaying learning content of a terminal and an application program therefor, and more particularly, to a method for effectively displaying learning content on a small screen of a terminal and an application program therefor.
As the market for electronic device applications becomes more active, a lot of learning content is being developed in the form of applications. Conventional learning applications can provide an auxiliary role for learners to easily access learning content by allowing video lectures to be watched in the application, providing content for memorization, or providing voice files.
Meanwhile, among learners, some learners aim to improve their overall performance in a specific field, but learners will use learning content to acquire a target score on a particular test.
Tests are designed to evaluate the learning ability and academic achievement of learners. Tests are generally composed of multiple choice questions in order to secure standardization and quantification of evaluation. All tests have certain patterns, and in particular, multiple choice questions consist of patterned questions, called types of questions. Therefore, it is known to be a very effective learning method to learn question patterns while solving many questions repeatedly.
Multiple choice questions are made up of text and examples, and some listening tests are provided only with examples. Conventionally, it has not been easy to find such multiple choice question content in applications. This is because it is not easy to display multiple choice question content including long text due to the characteristics of learning applications, which are executed on an electronic device with a relatively small screen.
However, considering the purpose and effects of learning, it is necessary to provide learning content by which a learner can repeatedly learn multiple choice questions, even through electronic device applications. Therefore, there is demand for a method of effectively displaying multiple choice question content composed of text and examples even on a small screen.
Therefore, the present disclosure has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a method of effectively displaying learning content including a large amount of information such as multiple choice questions within a screen having a limited size.
Also, another aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a method for displaying learning content, which may display a question-solving time and a required time in the learning content so that a learner can train to solve questions within a limited time.
Also, still another aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a method for displaying learning content having high usability and readability.
Also, yet another aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a method for displaying learning content, which may intuitively display results of question-solving to allow a learner to easily grasp his or her weaknesses, thereby maximizing the learning effect.
In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, a method for displaying learning content of a terminal may include: 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 touch input corresponding to an arbitrary direction on the second layer is received, displaying, on the second layer, a second question card corresponding to the touch input, wherein the question card includes one or more examples that are selectable by a learner.
In accordance with another aspect of the present disclosure, a method for displaying learning content of a terminal may include: displaying one or more question cards on a fourth layer; sequentially reproducing one or more voice files corresponding to each of the one or more question cards; and displaying a movement indicator on a fifth layer when the question card corresponding to the reproduced voice file is not displayed on the fourth layer.
In accordance with still another aspect of the present disclosure, a terminal for displaying learning content may include: a display unit configured to display one or more layers; an input unit configured to receive an input; and a control unit configured to control text with a group of questions to be displayed on a first layer and a first question card corresponding to a first question to be displayed on a second layer, and configured to control when a touch input corresponding to an arbitrary direction on the second layer is received, a second question card corresponding to the touch input to be displayed on the second layer, wherein the question card includes one or more examples that are selectable by a learner.
As described above, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to effectively display learning content including a large amount of information such as a multiple choice question within a screen having a limited size.
In addition, it is possible to display a question-solving time and a required time in learning content so that a learner can train to solve questions within a limited time.
In addition, it is possible to greatly improve the usability and readability in a learning application.
Further, it is possible to intuitively display the results of question-solving so as to allow a learner to easily grasp his or her weaknesses, thereby maximizing the learning effect.
The above aspects, features, and advantages will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and therefore, the technical ideas of the present disclosure can be easily practiced by a person with ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure pertains. Further, when it is determined that the detailed description of the known art related to the present disclosure may obscure the gist of the present disclosure, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment according to the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The display unit 11 may be formed of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), and the like, and may visually provide menus of the terminal 10, input data, function setting information, and other various types of information to a learner. The display unit 11 displays learning content according to a method for displaying learning content according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
The input unit 13 detects a touch input of a learner. The input unit 13 may be constituted by a touch detection sensor, such as a capacitive overlay, a pressure type resistive overlay, or an infrared beam, or may be constituted by a pressure sensor. In addition to the above sensors, any type of sensor device capable of detecting the contact or pressure of an object may be included in the input unit 13 of the present disclosure.
The input unit 13 detects a touch input of a learner, and generates a detection signal and transmits the generated detection signal to the control unit 15. The detection signal includes coordinate data about where the touch input is performed by the learner. When a touch position movement operation is input by a learner, the input unit 13 may generate a detection signal including coordinate data of a touch position movement path and may transmit the generated detection signal to the control unit 15.
In particular, the input unit 13 may detect a touch input and a touch gesture performed on a layer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Examples of such learner input include a tap, a double tap, a press, a long press, a swipe, and the like.
When the terminal 10 to which the present disclosure is applied includes a touch screen, the above-described display unit 11 and input unit 13 may be included in the touch screen to perform respective functions of the touch screen.

In addition, each module is controlled to provide embodiments of each user interface, which will be described later, to a learner through the display unit 11.
The wireless communication unit 17 executes a data transmission/reception function for wireless communication of the terminal 10. The wireless communication unit 10 may receive data from a server (not shown) via a wireless channel and may transmit the received data to the control unit 15. The data transmitted to the server by the wireless communication unit 10 may include data such as a selection input performed through the input unit 13 by a learner who uses an application program of the present disclosure, a learning result according to the selection input, a learning pattern of the learner, and the like.
The storage unit 19 may store learning content called by the application program of the present disclosure, and may store information collected by the execution of the application program, for example, a selection input received through the above-described input unit 13, a learning result according to the selection input, learning pattern information by learning result analysis of the control unit 15, and the like.
Method for Displaying Learning Content
Hereinafter, a method for displaying learning content according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to
For reference, it should be noted that each operation of the method for displaying learning content described in this specification can be simultaneously performed, and as a result, a plurality of layers can be simultaneously displayed on one screen in a terminal.
Referring to
In operation S130, the terminal displays a first question card corresponding to a first question on a second layer 200. The question card may include one or more examples 210 that can be selected by a learner. The question card may include one or more examples according to the type of the corresponding question, as shown in
For example,
Next, when a continuous touch gesture in a touch input, such as a swipe, a drag, a double tap, a long tap, or a long press, is received in the second layer in operation S150, the terminal displays a second question card corresponding to a second question according to the touch gesture on the second layer in operation S170. For example, in the case in which the question card shown in
Further, when the continuous touch gesture in the touch input is received in the second layer in operation S150 and the question card displayed on the second layer is switched from the first question card to the second question card in operation S170, the terminal moves, in operation 175, the text with the group of questions in such a manner that a portion corresponding to the second question in the text with the group of questions displayed on the first layer is positioned at the center of the first layer while operation S170 is performed.
For example, in
Further, when receiving selection input for an arbitrary example from the learner in the state in which a question card #1 is displayed on the second layer, the terminal may display a question card corresponding to a question following a question #1 on the second layer. That is, when the learner solves the question card #5, the question card #6 is automatically displayed on the second layer. At the same time, the corresponding screen is switched from the text corresponding to the question #5 to the text corresponding to the question #6, and the switched text corresponding to the question #6 is displayed at the central portion of the screen of the terminal. Accordingly, the learner can solve the questions sequentially without any special manipulation, so that the learner's convenience can be maximized and the learner can focus on the question-solving itself.
Meanwhile, as shown in 150A in
In addition, when not all of the text is displayed on the screen at the same time, as shown in
That is, when the touch input is received on the first layer, the terminal may display a scroll bar corresponding to the length of the text with the group of questions on one area of the first layer, and when the continuous touch gesture in the touch input is received in the first layer in operation S300, the terminal may move the text with the group of questions displayed on the first layer according to the received touch gesture.
In addition, when selection input for all questions corresponding to the text with the group of questions is received, the terminal may further include an operation of displaying a text or image corresponding to an answer submission on one area of the first layer. For example, if there is a total of 4 questions corresponding to one block text with a group of questions and the learner inputs answers to all of the 4 questions, the text “submit answer” is displayed on the lower end side of the first layer as shown in
User Interface to Erase Example
Referring to
Whether a touch input for an arbitrary example is determined to be a selection input or an erasure input in operation S230 depends on preset criteria. For example, a tab or press for one area may be preset to be determined to be selection input and a double tap, a long press, or swipe may be preset to be determined to be erasure input, which may vary depending on the setting of a device for generating a user interface.
Referring to
User Interface to Adjust Layer Size
Meanwhile, in the embodiment of
In this case, one area of the second layer may be designated as an area for adjusting the size of the second layer, which may be displayed as an image 230 shown in
User Interface in Correct-Answer Confirmation Mode
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method for displaying learning content in the correct-answer confirmation mode after a learner completes question-solving and submits the answer will be described.
Referring to
As shown in
In addition, on the screen of the correct-answer confirmation mode, when displaying the question card in which the submitted answer is the incorrect answer on the second layer, the terminal may differently display the brightness and/or the saturation of examples corresponding to the submitted answer and the correct answer.
For example, it is assumed that the correct answer of the question #5135B is “C. updating” as shown in
Meanwhile, in the correct-answer confirmation mode, the learner confirms the correct answer to each of one or more questions that he or she has solved. In this case, if an arbitrary question card is displayed on the second layer, the terminal may highlight one or more words corresponding to the arbitrary question card in text with a group of questions displayed on the first layer. That is, when the learner confirms the correct answer to the question #5, as shown in
In addition, in the correct-answer confirmation mode, the terminal may display, on one area of the first layer, at least one of the time 150B required for question-solving, a text or image 170 corresponding to switching to an explanation mode, and a text or image 160B corresponding to a termination command. As described above, the terminal may generate a new layer and include the above information in the new layer.
When the learner touches the text or image 170 corresponding to the switching to the explanation mode, the terminal may switch the screen to the explanation mode, and the user interface in the explanation mode will be described later with reference to
In the explanation mode, the terminal may generate a third layer fixed in one area of the terminal and may display one or more question numbers and/or the text or image corresponding to the termination command on one area of the third layer.
User Interface in Explanation Mode
Referring to
In addition, in displaying the question number 180, the terminal may differently display a question number corresponding to a question that is currently confirmed. In this case, the terminal adds a point or inserts a figure on the question number as shown in 180A so that the learner can intuitively recognize what the question number he or she is checking is.
In the explanation mode, the configuration of the user interface for adjusting the size of the second layer may be effective. Since the explanation includes not only examples but also a long text, the learner touches one area of the second layer and inputs a touch gesture successive thereto in operation S500, thereby moving an explanation card displayed on the second layer.
When the learner completes all of the learning and touches a learning completion button 160C displayed at the lower end side of the first layer, the screen of the terminal can be switched to an initial screen or the previous screen.
User Interface in Listening Mode
Hereinafter, a method for displaying learning content in a listening mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to
Referring to
More specifically, in displaying the movement indicators on the fifth layer, when an arbitrary question card displayed on the fourth layer is a question previous to that of the question card corresponding to the currently reproduced voice file, the terminal may display the movement indicator at the lower end side of the fifth layer, as shown in 500A. When the arbitrary question card displayed on the fourth layer is a question subsequent to that of the question card corresponding to the currently reproduced voice file, the terminal may display the movement indicator at the upper end side of the fifth layer, as shown in 500B.
Further, when receiving a touch input for the movement indicator, the terminal may display the question card corresponding to the currently reproduced voice file on the fourth layer.
That is, if the currently reproduced voice file corresponds to the question #5 although questions displayed on the fourth layer 400 are a question #1 and a question #2 in
In addition, if the currently reproduced voice file corresponds to the question #2 although a question #9 and a question #10 are displayed on the fourth layer 400 in
In addition, when the reproduction of the voice file corresponding to all of the questions is completed in the listening mode, or when a continuous touch gesture (drag or the like) in a touch input is received so that the last question is displayed on the fourth layer, the terminal may display the number of remaining questions at the lower end portion of the background layer using a selection input for each of the questions, as shown in an image 600. That is, when the learner performs selection input for selecting examples for only two questions among a total of 10 questions, 8, which is the number of remaining questions, may be displayed at the lower end portion based on the selection input. This display may be performed in such a manner that the image 600 can be displayed on the background layer 300 or the fourth layer 400 on which the corresponding question is displayed, or may be performed by generating a new layer.
