In this teaching system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the background service device can be used to receive the experimental operation instruction sent by the front-end application device, and execute the experimental operation instruction based on the running dependency package. The experimental operation instruction in the curriculum package can be designed to be easy for primary and secondary school students to learn, and is supported by the running dependency package. For example, an operation instruction is designed in the form of a building block and linked with a building block file. An experimental operation instruction corresponding to the building block file can be executed when the building block file runs after being clicked or dragged to a specific location. In this way, a programming operation is simplified, becomes more readable, and is easy for primary and secondary school students with poor basis to understand and digest.
The building block file is a file that is encapsulated in the form of a building block. The operation instruction of the building block file can be executed by performing building block operations such as clicking or dragging. In this way, the programming is easy to understand, and the logic is clear. The running dependency package includes a code package that supports the operation instruction of the building block file. An operation of the building block file may correspond to an operation instruction. The operation instruction may correspond to code in the running dependency package. By executing the code in the running dependency package, a computer can implement a function of the building block file.
In a possible implementation, the teaching system further includes a front-end application device 10.
The front-end application device 10 is configured to: receive an experimental operation instruction, and send the experimental operation instruction to a background service device, wherein the experimental operation instruction is an operation instruction for performing a step of a target experiment in a curriculum package, the curriculum package includes one or more programming experiments, and the target experiment is any one of the one or more programming experiments; and

The disclosed methods, steps and logic block diagrams in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented or executed. The general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor or the processor may be any conventional processor or the like. The steps of the method disclosed in connection with the embodiment of the present disclosure can be directly embodied in the execution completion of the hardware decoding processor, or by the combination of the hardware and software modules in the decoding processor. The software module can be located in random memory, flash memory, read-only memory, programmable read-only memory or electrically erasable programmable memory, register and other mature storage media in the art. The storage medium is located in the memory, and the processor reads the information in the memory and completes the steps of the above method in combination with its hardware.

Many forms of RAM are available, such as static RAM (SRAM), dynamic RAM (DRAM), synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), double data rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM, enhanced SDRAM (ESDRAM), synchlink DRAM (SLDRAM) and direct Rambus RAM (DR RAM). It is to be noted that the memory of the systems and methods described herein is intended to include, but is not limited to, these and any other suitable types of memory.

In this teaching system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the background service device can be used to receive the experimental operation instruction sent by the front-end application device, and execute the experimental operation instruction based on the running dependency package. The experimental operation instruction in the curriculum package can be designed to be easy for primary and secondary school students to learn, and is supported by the running dependency package. For example, an operation instruction is designed in the form of a building block and linked with a building block file. An experimental operation instruction corresponding to the building block file can be executed when the building block file runs after being clicked or dragged to a specific location. In this way, a programming operation is simplified, becomes more readable, and is easy for primary and secondary school students with poor basis to understand and digest.
In a possible implementation, the front-end application device and the background service device can be implemented in a BS architecture. The front-end application device can be implemented by using a browser on a general computer, or application software or a program installed on a computer, and the general computer does not need to be specially configured with a GPU for deep learning. The background service device can be implemented on a background server. One background service device may correspond to multiple front-end application devices, in other words, one background server may be connected to multiple front-end computers. Single-campus deployment or multi-campus deployment can be set according to different usage scenarios, and multiple front-end computers can be deployed in one campus.
In a possible implementation, the front-end application device can provide an operation interface for users by using a browser or an interface of application software or a program installed on a computer. In an example, the teaching system can be an artificial intelligence teaching system, and the curriculum package can be an artificial intelligence curriculum package. The front-end application device does not need to load a complex artificial intelligence software environment. When the artificial intelligence teaching system is used for artificial intelligence teaching, students can enter the experimental operation instruction through the operation interface of the front-end application device, and obtain an execution result, so as to learn artificial intelligence teaching content. For example, students can write code for identifying a target object in an image, to identify a preset pedestrian in the image. The front-end application device can send the written code to the background service device, and the background service device can execute the code based on the running dependency package, to obtain the execution result.
In a possible implementation, the curriculum package can be a curriculum package designed by a team of teachers. The curriculum package may include one or more courses or experiments. The courses or experiments can be designed by the team of teachers based on the learning pattern and comprehension ability of primary and secondary school students, and ordered in an easy-to-understand way. The curriculum package includes one or more programming experiments. The programming experiment can be an experiment corresponding to a course. For example, a teacher explains principles and experiment operations in the course, and students perform the programming experiment. The curriculum package includes teaching content and programming support content, wherein the teaching content includes the programming experiment, and the programming support content includes the running dependency package.
In a possible implementation, the front-end application device is further configured to display profile information of the curriculum package. The profile information may include course ID, course name, course description, internal version number, external version number, version description, author, course label, release time, course cover, and experiment list. In an example, the course description may include information such as the difficulty level of a course in the curriculum package and the grade of students the course is suitable for.
In a possible implementation, the front-end application device is further configured to display a user interface corresponding to profile information of the curriculum package, so as to receive the experimental operation instruction in the user interface. In an example, the front-end application device can display a corresponding user interface based on information in the course description such as the difficulty level and the grade of students the course is suitable for. For example, if the course or the experiment included in the curriculum package is relatively difficult and suitable for senior students, the corresponding user interface can be a standard programming interface, and the user interface can receive code (the experimental operation instruction) entered by students. If the course or the experiment included in the curriculum package is relatively simple and suitable for junior students, the corresponding user interface can be a more friendly interface, and experimental operation operations can be relatively simple. For example, students only need to concatenate functions in a logical order by “block building” without entering code. In other words, students can learn the roles and logical order of functions in a simple way. Each function can be displayed in the form of a “building block”. For example, the “building block” displayed may include an input port, an output port, or the like of a function, and students can concatenate the input ports and output ports of a plurality of “building blocks” in a logical order, so as to implement a specific function. Functions of these “building blocks” are supported by building block files, and the building block files may include code that supports the functions of the “building blocks” and the like. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the display style and content of the user interface.
In a possible implementation, when students perform the target experiment, the entered experimental operation instruction can be easy-to-understand code or “building blocks”. The experimental operation instruction entered by students is only for the students to understand the principle and logic of artificial intelligence, and cannot be run directly. Therefore, the experimental operation instruction can be sent to the background service device. The experimental operation instruction can be supported and executed by the running dependency package corresponding to the target experiment in the background service device, so as to obtain the execution result. In an example, the running dependency package may include underlying code that supports the running of the experimental operation instruction. In an example, when the experimental operation instruction is sent to the background service device, the background service device can determine the running dependency package corresponding to the target experiment based on an API (Application Programming Interface) document of the experimental operation instruction, and execute the experimental operation instruction based on the running dependency package.
In this way, students can enter the experimental operation instruction in a simple manner, and obtain the execution result, so as to easily understand the principle and logic of an experiment, and improve learning efficiency.
In a possible implementation, the teaching system supports teaching staff and/or programmers to develop the curriculum package. To be specific, there is a development tool for the curriculum package or there is a link to a development platform for the curriculum package. The development platform for the curriculum package shares a background service device with the teaching system. When developing the curriculum package, developers can enter course information such as course profile information and experiment content by using the front-end application device, and send the course information to the background service device to create the curriculum package. In addition, developers can also enter the experimental operation instruction by using the front-end application device and perform a trial run of the developed experiment by using the background service device, thereby checking whether the developed experiment runs as expected. In this way, subsequent development can be performed or an instruction can be submitted, to generate a curriculum package that can be published on the teaching system for students to use in a programming experiment course.
In a possible implementation, the team of teachers only needs to organize the content and the order of the courses and the experiments in the curriculum package, and the underlying code in the running dependency package can be written by a professional technician or a person with programming skills in the team of teachers. The team of teachers can focus on the content and the order of the courses. The courses and the experiments can be arranged in an order from easy to difficult and from shallow to deep based on the learning pattern and comprehension ability of students, making it easy for students to learn and understand. The professional technician or the person with programming skills in the team of teachers can write the running dependency package to support the experimental operation instruction in the experiment.
In a possible implementation, the curriculum package may include one or more experiments. The curriculum package may also include profile information, description information, step information, and summary information of each experiment. The front-end application device is further configured to: upon receiving a selection operation on the target experiment in the curriculum package, display at least one of profile information, description information, step information, or summary information of the target experiment. In an example, the experiment profile information may include experiment name, experiment introduction, experiment difficulty level, experiment icon, experiment label, experiment user interface, running dependency package information, building block file, preprocessing instruction, and the like.
In a possible implementation, the front-end application device is further configured to import a preprocessing instruction corresponding to the target experiment. The preprocessing instruction can be a code package that supports the running of the experimental operation instruction. For example, if the experimental operation instruction is Python code, the preprocessing instruction can be a code package that supports a specific function in Python, for example, a pandas code package that supports a data processing function. The front-end application device can import the preprocessing instruction corresponding to the target experiment in advance before the target experiment is performed. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the preprocessing instruction.
In this way, the front-end application device can import the preprocessing instruction corresponding to the target experiment. When performing the programming experiment, students do not need to write code to import the preprocessing instruction, making the experimental operation instruction simple and easy for students to understand.
In a possible implementation, after students enter the experimental operation instruction, the front-end application device can send the experimental operation instruction to the background service device, and the background service device can execute the experimental operation instruction based on the running dependency package corresponding to the target experiment, to obtain an execution result.
In a possible implementation, the curriculum package further includes curriculum content and interface document(s) (API document(s)) corresponding to the one or more programming experiments. The background service device is further configured to: upon receiving the experimental operation instruction, determine, based on the interface documents, the running dependency package corresponding to the target experiment from among the running dependency packages corresponding to the one or more programming experiments. In an example, the background service device may include running dependency packages respectively corresponding to the programming experiments. Upon receiving the experimental operation instruction, the background service device can determine the running dependency package corresponding to the target experiment based on the API document of the experimental operation instruction, and execute each experimental operation instruction in the target experiment based on the running dependency package. For example, the background service device can execute code corresponding to the experimental operation instruction in the running dependency package.
In this way, students can enter the experimental operation instruction in a simple manner, and obtain the execution result, so as to easily understand the principle and logic of an experiment, and improve learning efficiency.
In a possible implementation, the background service device includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) resource and/or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) resource, and is configured to execute the corresponding code in the running dependency package. The executing the experimental operation instruction based on the running dependency package to obtain an execution result includes: determining, based on the running status of the CPU resource and/or the GPU resource, a target CPU and/or a target GPU configured to execute the experimental operation instruction; and executing a target instruction in the running dependency package by using the target CPU and/or the target GPU, to obtain the execution result, wherein the target instruction is an instruction in the running dependency package that is corresponding to the experimental operation instruction.
In this way, the computing capacity of the CPU resource and/or the GPU resource can be fully utilized, and utilization of the CPU resource and/or the GPU resource is improved, thereby providing support for more students.
In a possible implementation, before the experimental operation instruction is executed, the running status (runtime) of the CPU resource and/or the GPU resource can be determined, and the target CPU and/or the target GPU configured to execute the experimental operation instruction can also be determined. For example, one background service device may correspond to multiple front-end application devices. When a teacher explains an experiment operation, multiple students can send experimental operation instructions to the background service device using multiple front-end application devices. The background service device can dynamically determine the target CPU and/or the target GPU for the experimental operation instruction sent by each front-end application device based on the resource utilization of the target CPU and/or the target GPU. For example, at a certain moment, the utilization of all GPUs is between 50% to 80%, and there is one GPU with relatively low resource utilization of only 50%. In this case, the background service device delivers the next experimental operation instruction sent by the front-end application device to the GPU with relatively low resource utilization for processing. Alternatively, based on the set runtime in basic information of the experiment, the background service device can assign an experimental operation instruction that consumes more computing resources to run on the GPU, and assign an experimental operation instruction that consumes less computing resources to run on the CPU, and the like. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the method for determining the target CPU and/or the target GPU.
In a possible implementation, the background service device can execute the target instruction corresponding to the experimental operation instruction in the running dependency package by using the target CPU and/or the target GPU. For example, the dependency package includes a function (building block file) corresponding to a “building block” and a call instruction. The target instruction in the running dependency package is determined based on the experimental operation instruction (for example, the function or the building block file corresponding to the “building block” as well as the call instruction are determined), and the function in the dependency package is called with the call instruction. The GPU can execute the target instruction to realize the function of the experimental operation instruction and obtain the execution result.
In this way, the computing capacity of the CPU resource and/or the GPU resource can be fully utilized, and utilization of the CPU resource and/or the GPU resource is improved, thereby providing support for more students.
In a possible implementation, after obtaining the execution result, the background service device can send the execution result to the front-end application device, and the front-end application device can receive and display the execution result.
In a possible implementation, the curriculum package includes teaching content and programming support content, wherein the teaching content includes the programming experiment, and the programming support content includes the running dependency package. The team of teachers can organize the content and the order of the courses and the experiments in the curriculum package. In other words, the team of teachers is responsible for editing the teaching content. The underlying code in the running dependency package can be written by a professional technician or a person with programming skills in the team of teachers. In other words, the professional technician or the person with programming skills is responsible for editing the programming support content. The front-end application device is further configured to send an editing instruction for editing the teaching content and/or the programming support content to the background service device. In an example, a user of the front-end application device can be a teacher, a professional technician, or a student. The teacher can edit the teaching content, and the professional technician can edit the programming support content. For example, the teacher or the professional technician can enter the editing instruction in the front-end application device, and the front-end application device can send the editing instruction to the background service device to edit the teaching content and/or the programming support content.
In this way, the curriculum package can be flexibly developed or modified, so as to improve flexibility of teaching and facilitate implementation of a teaching scheme.
In a possible implementation, the sending an editing instruction for editing the teaching content and/or the programming support content to the background service device includes: sending, to the background service device, a first editing instruction to edit the teaching content; and/or sending, to the background service device, a second editing instruction to edit the programming support content. For example, the teacher can enter the first editing instruction for editing the teaching content (for example, an instruction to edit a teaching target) in a first front-end application device, and the front-end application device can send the first editing instruction to the background service device, to edit the teaching content. The professional technician can enter the second editing instruction for editing the programming support content (for example, an instruction to edit the building block file) in a second front-end application device, and the front-end application device can send the second editing instruction to the background service device, to edit the programming support content.
In this way, the curriculum package can be edited by the front-end application device, making it easier to write or modify the curriculum package.
In a possible implementation, the background service device is further configured to receive an editing instruction for editing the teaching content and/or the programming support content; and edit the teaching content and the programming support content based on the editing instruction, to generate the curriculum package. In an example, the background service device can receive the editing instruction for editing the teaching content and/or the programming support content sent by the front-end application device. The receiving an editing instruction for editing the teaching content and/or the programming support content includes: receiving a first editing instruction from a first front-end application device to edit the teaching content; and/or receiving a second editing instruction from a second front-end application device to edit the programming support content. For example, the background service device can receive the first editing instruction entered by the teacher in the first front-end application device, and/or receive the second editing instruction entered by the professional technician in the second front-end application device. Further, the background service device can edit (for example, write or modify) the teaching content and/or the programming support content based on the first editing instruction or the second editing instruction. The editing of the teaching content and the programming support content based on the editing instruction to generate the curriculum package includes: editing the teaching content based on the first editing instruction to generate the curriculum package; and/or editing the programming support content based on the second editing instruction to generate the curriculum package. For example, the first editing instruction can be used to modify the content of the programming experiment in the teaching content, and the second editing instruction can be used to write the running dependency package of the programming experiment. After the editing is completed, the curriculum package can be written or updated.
In this way, the curriculum package can be edited by the front-end application device, making it easier to write or modify the curriculum package.
In a possible implementation, when editing the curriculum package, the teacher can invite the professional technician to write the curriculum package together, or the professional technician can invite the teacher to write the curriculum package together. For example, if the teacher intends to modify content of an experiment in the curriculum package, the teacher can invite the professional technician to write the curriculum package together, so as to modify both the experiment content and the running dependency package of the experiment. The front-end application device is further configured to send an invitation instruction to the background service device, so that the background service device invites another front-end application device to edit the curriculum package, wherein the invitation instruction includes an identifier of the another front-end application device. For example, the front-end application device used by the teacher can send an invitation instruction to the background service device, and the background service device can send the invitation instruction to the front-end application device used by the professional technician based on the identifier of the front-end application device. In this way, the teacher can invite the professional technician to edit the curriculum package together.
In an example, the background service device is further configured to: in response to an invitation instruction received from the first front-end application device, send an invitation request to the second front-end application device, to invite the second front-end application device to edit the curriculum package, wherein the invitation instruction includes an identifier of the second front-end application device; or in response to an invitation instruction received from the second front-end application device, send an invitation request to the first front-end application device, to invite the first front-end application device to edit the curriculum package, wherein the invitation instruction includes an identifier of the first front-end application device. For example, when receiving the invitation instruction sent by the first front-end application device used by the teacher, the background service device can send the invitation instruction to the second front-end application device based on the identifier of the second front-end application device (for example, an account ID for logging into the second front-end application device), to invite the professional technician who uses the second front-end application device to edit the curriculum package together. Alternatively, when receiving the invitation instruction sent by the second front-end application device used by the professional technician, the background service device can send the invitation instruction to the first front-end application device based on the identifier of the first front-end application device (for example, an IP address of the first front-end application device), to invite the teacher who uses the first front-end application device to edit the curriculum package together. Further, a user of a front-end application device can invite a plurality of users of other front-end application devices to edit the curriculum package together. For example, a teacher can invite a plurality of professional technicians to edit the curriculum package together, or a teacher can invite another teacher and one or more professional technicians to edit the curriculum package. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit users of the first front-end application device and the second front-end application device.
In this way, different users can edit the curriculum package together, so that the editing of the teaching content is synchronized with the editing of the programming support content.
In a possible implementation, the background service device is further configured to set a permission of the first front-end application device and a permission of the second front-end application device in a way that the permission of the first front-end application device is different from the permission of the second front-end application device. For example, the first front-end application device can be the front-end application device used by the teacher, the second front-end application device can be the front-end application device used by the professional technician, and the permission of the first front-end application device is different from the permission of the second front-end application device. For example, the first front-end application device can only be used to edit the teaching content, and the second front-end application device can only be used to edit the programming support content. For another example, the first front-end application device can be the front-end application device used by the student, the second front-end application device can be the front-end application device used by the teacher or the professional technician, and the permission of the first front-end application device is different from the permission of the second front-end application device. The first front-end application device can only be used to enter the experimental operation instruction instead of editing the curriculum package, and the second front-end application device can be used to enter the experimental operation instruction and edit the curriculum package (i.e., entering and editing instructions). This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the permission.
In this way, by setting the permission of the front-end application device, the front-end application device cannot randomly edit the curriculum package, thereby improving the content security of the curriculum package.
In this teaching system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, students can enter the experimental operation instruction in a simple manner, and the background service device executes the experimental operation instruction based on the running dependency package, so as to enable students to easily understand the principle and logic of an experiment, and improve learning efficiency. The preprocessing instruction corresponding to the target experiment can be imported. When performing the programming experiment, students do not need to write code to import the preprocessing instruction, making the experimental operation instruction simple and easy for students to understand. Further, the computing capacity of the CPU resource and/or the GPU resource can be fully utilized, and utilization of the CPU resource and/or the GPU resource is improved, thereby providing support for more students. The experimental operation instruction in the curriculum package can be designed to be easy for primary and secondary school students to learn, and is supported by the running dependency package, making it easy for primary and secondary school students to understand and digest. The curriculum package can be edited in a flexible manner, and the editing of the teaching content and/or the programming support content can be synchronized in the curriculum package.
In a possible implementation, profile information of the curriculum package can be displayed when the curriculum package is used for teaching. For example, the profile information may include one or more pieces of information such as course ID, course name, course description, internal version number, external version number, version description, author, course label, release time, course cover, and experiment list. The course description may include information such as the difficulty level of a course in the curriculum package and the grade of students the course is suitable for.
In a possible implementation, the front-end application device is configured to display a user interface corresponding to the profile information of the curriculum package. For example, if the experiment included in the curriculum package is relatively simple and suitable for junior students, the corresponding user interface can be a more friendly interface, and students only need to concatenate functions in a logical order by “block building” without entering code. In other words, students can learn the roles and logical order of functions in a simple way. Functions of these “building blocks” are supported by building block files, and the building block files may include code that supports the functions of the “building blocks” and the like. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the display style and content of the user interface.
In a possible implementation, each experiment may include one or more pieces of information such as profile information, description information, step information, and summary information. When a target experiment is performed, the experiment profile information can be displayed, including experiment name, experiment introduction, experiment difficulty level, experiment icon, experiment label, experiment user interface, running dependency package information, building block file, and preprocessing instruction.
In a possible implementation, the user interface of the front-end application device can receive an experimental operation instruction of “block building”, and send the experimental operation instruction to the background service device, and the background service device can determine the running dependency package corresponding to the target experiment based on the API document of the experimental operation instruction. The running dependency package can be written by a professional technician or a person with programming skills in the team of teachers.
In a possible implementation, before the experimental operation instruction is executed, the running status of the CPU resource and/or the GPU resource can be determined, the target CPU and/or the target GPU configured to execute the experimental operation instruction can be determined, and the target instruction in the running dependency package can be executed by the target CPU and/or the target GPU. For example, the target instruction can be used to call a building block file based on the logical order of the experimental operation instruction to realize the function of the experimental operation instruction, obtain the execution result, and send the execution result to the front-end application device.
In a possible implementation, the course and experimental content of the artificial intelligence teaching system can be designed by the team of teachers, and can be supported by the professional technician who can write the running dependency package. The team of teachers and the professional technician can cooperate with each other to make the course more reasonable. The course and the experiment can be designed based on the learning pattern to make the artificial intelligence course easy for primary and secondary school students to understood, thereby popularizing artificial intelligence education.
For example, the experiment content, such as course basic information, experiment description, experiment summary, experiment operations, and some experiment basic information, can be carefully designed by a front-line teacher or a teaching and research team based on the physical and psychological characteristics, learning pattern and comprehension ability of primary and secondary school students.
