Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a method for providing webcam study management service for private educational institute, and more specifically, to an academy that establishes a learning guidance plan through the study records of students using an academy terminal, and students that access an open webcam study room provided by the academy terminal through the student terminal, transmit a learning scene through a cam of the student terminal, and store the study records.

BACKGROUND

The size of the domestic private education market in 2021 was approximately 23.4 trillion won, which indicates an increase of approximately 21% compared to 19.4 trillion won in 2020. In addition, an average monthly private education expense per person is also 367,000 won, which indicates an increase by approximately 21.5% compared to 2021. Accordingly, as the private education market grows, it is important for academies to increase students' grades and provide motivation such that the students may focus on their studies.

Previously, students were allowed to study in a reading room or library operated by the academy even outside of academy classes. However, it is not easy for academies that do not have enough classrooms or are not large in size to operate a reading room or library. In addition, recently, the number of students who want to study remotely has been increased. Also, the proportion of academies using spaces used as reading rooms or libraries as classrooms for students' classes has increased. Accordingly, there is a need for a method for providing a webcam study management service that may satisfy the conditions described above and provide a learning environment without device restrictions and location restrictions.

In addition to the administer account, the server 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may provide an observer account to the academy terminal 300, and the observer account may access the open webcam study room generated by the academy terminal 300, and even when a user accesses the open webcam study room, the existence of the academy terminal 300 is not exposed to the student terminal 200. Also, the administer account and the observer account may be issued as one account.

Next, the academy terminal 300 requests the server 100 to open an open webcam study room (S420). The academy terminal 300 may request the server 100 to open the open webcam study room such that the student terminal 200 may access the server 100 to perform study.

In addition, the server 100 generates (opens) the open webcam study room (S430). The server 100 may open the open webcam study room according to the request of the academy terminal 300.

Next, the student terminal 200 requests the server 100 to check and enter the open webcam study room generated by the academy terminal 300 (S440). When the student terminal 200 accesses the server 100, the server 100 recognizes the identification information of the academy terminal 300 that is previously stored by being matched to the student terminal 200, and transmits the identification information of the open webcam study room generated by the academy terminal 300 to the student terminal 200 such that the open webcam study room is exposed to the student terminal 200.

In this case, the student terminal 200 may check any open webcam study room generated by another student terminal 200 in addition to the open webcam study room generated by the exposed academy terminal 300, and may request the server 100 to allow the student terminal 200 to enter the open webcam study room that the student terminal 200 wants.

In addition, the server 100 accepts the entry request of the student terminal 200 (S450). Then, the server 100 provides a video of another student terminal 200 that enters the open webcam study room and transmits the video of the accessed student terminal 200 to another student terminal 200 (S460).

When the server 100 may accept the entry request of the student terminal 200, the student terminal 200 enters the open webcam study room requested to enter, and may receive, from the server 100, videos of other student terminals 200 that are entered previously. In addition, the student terminal 200 may receive video of other student terminals 200, and at the same time, may transmit the videos to the other student terminals 200 through the server 100. In this case, videos may be captured by a camera mounted on or connected to the student terminal 200.

Since the open webcam study room is used for learning, sound is not transmitted, and when the student terminal 200 wants, the sound may be turned on, and through this, the student terminal 200 may communicate with other student terminals 200 by asking or receiving questions about learning.

The server 100 may check change values of image pixels received through a camera of the student terminal 200 in real time, and when the change values of the image pixels are zero for a preset time or longer, it is determined that the student terminal 200 does not sit in the seat without studying, and may provide an alarm message to other student terminals 200 or stop an operation of a study record timer.

Also, when the student terminal 200 enters the open webcam study room, the server 100 may monitor the change values of the image pixels in real time, and when the change values of the image pixels are zero for a preset time or longer, it may be determined that the student terminal 200 does not sit in the seat without studying.

In this case, when it is determined that a student does not sit in the seat for a preset time or longer, the current time and the previously stored a class timetable of the student are compared with each other, and

• • whether the current time is within one of the class time ranges of the student's class timetable, and when the current time is included in any class time range, it may be recognized that the student terminal is participating in the class.

For example, when no change in the image pixels is detected for 20 minutes after 1:30 PM from a student terminal accessed the open webcam study at 1:00 PM, it may be determined that the student is away from the seat, and at this time, when the class time is set from 1:40 PM to 2:30 PM on the class timetable of the student terminal, it may be recognized that the student is not away from the seat but is participating in the class.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a student terminal enters the open webcam study room and performs a study and has a question about the study, the student may open a chatting window previously set in one region of a screen of the open webcam study room and input the question thereto.

Then, the server may receive a question from the student terminal 200, classify items of the question through a pre-learned question classification model, determine to which model among multiple artificial intelligence learning models the question is input by referring to a classification value, and input the question to the determined model to output an answer therefor. For example, an artificial intelligence (AI) model for math problems and an AI model for Korean problems are built separately. However, sending and receiving questions are not limited to the student terminal 200. The question may be transmitted to and received by a smart terminal installed separately in a reading room space at an academy.

In addition, the server 100 may transmit the printed answer to the student terminal 200.

At this time, the item is one subject that the student terminal learns, and each AI learning model may be trained with learning data consisting of different question data and answer data in pairs depending on items.

When the student terminal 200 according to an additional embodiment of the present disclosure does not have a camera, a transmission screen of the student terminal 200 may be replaced with a preset image.

In addition, the server 100 records the time that the student terminal 200 accesses the open webcam study room and performs an activity as study time and transmits the recorded data to the academy terminal 300 (S470). The student terminal 200 may access the open webcam study room to do study and does study by turning on the sound and communicating with other student terminals 200. The studies made in various ways are recorded as study time by a study record timer that measures the start and end times of study. Here, the study record timer may also set a break time alarm. In addition, the academy terminal 300 may check the study record of the student terminal 200 for each period and check the history of the open webcam study room opening. As described above, the data on the time that the student terminal 200 accesses the open webcam study room and the data on the study time and break time measured by the study record timer are stored in the server 100. The server 100 may provide the data on the study time of the related student terminal 200 to the academy terminal 300 such that the data may be checked from the administer account when there is a request from the academy terminal 300.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a preset AI model may analyze the study record and show the ranking of the items preset by the student terminal. For example, the ranking for an increase rate (rate of rise) of the study time compared to the previous week, or the ranking of the students who frequently ask questions related to the study may be included.

In an additional embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset AI model may collect study data, such as study record, study time zone, study time for each subject, average score of the subject solved during the self-study time, and study concentration of each student terminal, and may derive the self-study efficiency of the related student terminal by referring to the score for each subject in a monthly mock test.

Specifically, the study records of each student terminal may be checked by tracking the time and time period from opening of the open webcam study to closing of the open webcam study by accessing the server 100. In the case of study time for each subject, the student terminal 200 may estimate the subject by directly inputting the subject information or extracting a text in an image from a test paper image received through a camera, and the study time based on the related test paper may be checked by taking a picture with a computer camera.

The average score of the subject solved during the self-study time may be checked based on the student terminal's score when solving the problems of each subject provided through the server 100 after accessing the open webcam study. The study concentration may be checked based on a case where a camera detects that a student is dozing off or sleeping face down.

Learning may be performed by using a model based on at least one of RNN, LSTM, and CNN by setting the identified study data and monthly mock test scores for each subject of the related student terminal 200 as input values and setting an output value as the self-study efficiency of the student terminal 200. Through this, when a student enters an open camp study room and studies on his/her own, it is possible to check which subject is most efficient for self-study and at what time of day the student may study most efficiently, and by providing this information to the student, the student may be guided to study with the best efficiency during the student's self-study time.

Referring to FIG. 15C, the study monitoring screen 400 is configured with a grid such that states of other students accessing the open webcam study room and performing study may be checked. In addition, when a preset time elapses, a notification provided by the server 100 may be displayed on the study monitoring screen 400.

For example, when 1 hour of study time elapses, a menu including “viewing a stretching method”, “taking a break time”, and “solving problems with AI” may be displayed on the study monitoring screen 400 together with a phrase, “Mr./Mrs. OO, one hour elapsed since you started studying. It will be good to do some light stretching”. In this case, the student may select a desired menu and continues taking a break or studying.

Referring to FIG. 15D, the AI control system screen may provide the entire student terminal or smart terminal in the form of a grid. In addition, as described above, the screen may be monitored in real time, and whether the student terminal does not sit in the seat or moved to participate in class may be analyzed.

In an additional embodiment of the present disclosure, a student terminal may replace a transmission screen with a preset image to prevent personal information from leaking out. However, even when the transmission screen is replaced with an image, the movement of a student may be monitored by a camera, whether the student does not sit in the seat or moved to participate in class may be analyzed. That is, although the screen is not transmitted to another student terminal, monitoring may be continuously performed whether students do not sit in seats, there is no movement, or moved to participate in class.

According to the present disclosure, a student terminal may access a server and access an open webcam study room generated by an academy terminal or another student terminal to perform study, store a record thereof in the server, and accordingly the academy terminal organically manage study states of the student terminals.
