DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIG. 1, in a learning device 1, a plug 3 is inserted into a hole 2 corresponding to a selected item. Although three holes 2 are provided in the figure, the hole 2 corresponding to the selected item is on the right side. Next, an item having a content that matches the selected item is searched, and the pen 5 is pressed against the pin 4 corresponding to the item. In the figure, pin 4
Are provided. For example, a case where the center pin 4 is searched and a case where the right pin 4 is searched will be described below. When the center pin 4 is searched, a voltage is applied to the center pin 4 through the pen 5 pressed, and the upper indicator 6 is turned on. When the right pin 4 is searched, a voltage is applied to the right pin 4 through the pen 5 and the lower indicator 6 is turned on. That is, since the matter in which the plug 3 is inserted and the matter in which the pen 5 is pressed correctly match when the right pin 4 is searched, the lighting of the lower indicator 6 is correct and the upper indicator is correct. The lighting of 6 indicates that the answer is incorrect.

[0006]

In FIG. 1, a two-contact switch 7 is provided so that when the plug 3 is inserted into the hole 2, the contact switches. In addition, from the viewpoint of the space distribution of the learning device 1, names to be initially selected are appropriately displayed by name, and the basic form is to arrange the names in alphabetical order. In addition, although the name of the item to be searched may be displayed, a pattern and a sentence may be considered. It is convenient to make the code 8 detachable from the learning device 1. FIG. 2 is a plan perspective view of the learning device 1. In this figure, the battery 9 is separated from the learning device 1 and stored in the unit 10, and the cord 8 extends from the unit 10. As a result, the configuration of the learning device 1 is simplified, which is effective when preparing learning devices 1 having different contents and replacing them. In order to improve the portability of the learning device 1, the pins 4 are soldered to the lands of the board 11, and the group of holes 2 and the group of switches 7 are set as blocks 12 so as to be fitted to the upper, lower, left and right sides of the board 11. It should be noted that a jumper wire is used at the intersection on the substrate 11, and a light emitting diode as the indicator 6 is directly attached to the substrate 11 so as to reduce the amount of lead wires used. Reference numeral 13 denotes a hole into which the plug 3 is inserted, and serves as a storage location of the plug 3 when the learning device 1 is not used. FIG. 3 is a side perspective view showing the periphery of the block 12. The switch 7 is composed of a movable contact side and upper and lower fixed contact sides, whereas the movable contact side is a single piece of metal for each switch 7, whereas the upper and lower fixed contact sides connect a plurality of switches 7 each. Metal plate. In other words, if the fixed contact side is made of one metal plate for each block 12 in the upper and lower parts, only the blocks 12 need to be connected by lead wires, which can contribute to simplification of the configuration for improving portability and productivity. It will be. In addition, as the pin 4, a ready-made fencing pin or base pin is used, and in this figure, a cap 14 is fitted to the tip of the pin 4 to increase the conductivity with the pen 5. In FIG. 1, the indicator 6 is a light emitting diode, whereas in FIG. 4, the indicator 6 is constituted by an electronic sound oscillation circuit and a speaker. The electronic sound oscillation circuit is a two-color chime (for example, a PIN-PON sound for a correct answer, and a BEN-BEN for an incorrect answer)
Sound) and an amplifier. It is more appropriate that the indicator 6 is housed in the unit 10. This is effective from the viewpoint of cost and portability, but the indication by sound is also effective from the viewpoint that it does not matter where it is installed, unlike the indication by light. In FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, the number of pins 4 is minimized in order to enhance the understanding of the figures.

[0007]

As described above, if a lot of learning devices 1 having different contents are prepared, the utility thereof will be enormous.
If the number of items is large, such as a search for a prefecture name on a Japanese map, the size of the board 11 is simply increased and the unit 10 is created.
It becomes possible by standardizing only the connection point with the standard. That is, it is conceivable to prepare learning devices 1 of several sizes according to the contents. Thus, unlike paper, it is effective in that repetitive learning is possible, and is effective in that it is excellent in portability unlike personal computers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a learning device for retrieving items whose contents match a selected item.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There has been a method of selecting a solution corresponding to a solution found by solving a problem from options and filling a position satisfying a condition of the solution. Also, there were large-scale searches in terms of hardware and software using a personal computer.

[0003]

The present invention provides a small-sized, high-additional function by using a simple circuit to determine the correctness of an answer instead of inputting a fixed position and searching for an answer from options.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems Now, the structure will be described. (A) In the learning device 1, the plug 3 is inserted into the hole 2 corresponding to the selected item. (B) Search for an item whose content matches the selected item, and press the pen 5 against the pin 4 corresponding to the item. (C) At that time, a voltage is applied from the pen 5 to the pin 4, a voltage is applied to the indicator 7 via the switch 6, and whether the matter inserted into the plug 3 and the matter pressing the pen 5 have a commonality. To let them know. The device is operated as described above.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The learning apparatus 1 searches for a selected item and an item of a content that matches the selected item, and indicates a correct answer if the item of the content that is considered to be coincident with the selected item. The notification is made by turning on the indicator 7 and, if there is no commonality, by turning on the indicator 7 indicating an incorrect answer. Here, the selected items and the items having the same contents will be specifically described. For this purpose, a specific example is easy to explain, and an example thereof will be described. For example, suppose that there is a child who does not know about flowers, and uses this learning device 1 to learn the names of flowers and their shapes.
First, the parent of the child selects the learning device 1 on which several kinds of flowers are drawn, and points a few kinds of flowers with a finger,
Have them remember those flowers. After that, the learning device 1 is used again after a lapse of time or after a certain time, but at this time, the learning device 1 is connected to the unit 8 and brought into a use state. First, while showing a picture of a flower on the learning device 1 to a child, the first question is, for example, "What is pansy?" On the other hand, the child presses the pen 5 on the pin 4 in the picture of the flower, which is thought to be a pansy, while remembering the previous education. If the picture of the flower that I thought was a pansy at that time was definitely a pansy,
An indicator 7 indicating that the answer is correct lights up to notify the user. When the picture of a flower considered to be a pansy is a picture of a different flower, an indicator 7 indicating that the answer is incorrect is lit to inform the user. Similarly, the second question is, for example, "What is cosmos?" And the third question is, for example, "What is rose?" This is a series of learning procedures of the learning device 1. Here, regarding the learning on the flower, the selected item is the name of the flower of the pansy and the like, and the item having the same content is the picture of the flower of the pansy and the like. In addition, the search for an item having the content corresponding to the search is an operation in which a child searches for a picture of a flower that matches the name of a flower in response to a question and presses a pen 5 on a pin 4 in the picture of the flower. . FIG. 1 is a block circuit diagram of the present invention.
In the foregoing, when asking the parent "What's the pansy?", The parent has plugged the plug 3 into the hole 2 which approached the plate with the name of the pansy shortly before. In other words, by inserting the plug 3, the item named pansy is selected. In FIG. 1, there are three holes 2 into which plugs 3 can be inserted. This means that there are three types of flower names that can be selected. In the case of this figure, the hole 2 on the right side is close to it and has a plate bearing the name of the pansy. For the sake of explanation, it is assumed that the center hole 2 has cosmos selected items, and the left hole 2 has scattered selected items. 3
A two-contact type switch 6 is provided below each of the holes 2 so that the contact can be switched by inserting a plug 3. In this figure, the pin 4 on which the picture of a flower to be selected is drawn will be described by setting the right pin 4 as a pansy, the center pin 4 as a cosmos, and the left pin 4 as a rose. By the way, the child receives the learning device 1 and searches for the picture of the pansy in the first question, finally selects the flower drawn on the center pin 4, and presses the pen 5 against the pin 4. FIG. 1 shows the situation. This pen 5
Since the voltage from the power supply in the unit 8 is applied to the
, A voltage is applied to the center pin 4, and the upper indicator 7 shown in FIG. In other words, at this point in time, the child searched for the picture of the cosmos and did not have any commonality with the pansy, which was the item selected by the parent. Therefore, it can be understood that the upper indicator 7 is to inform an incorrect answer. It is supposed that the forerunner who knows this releases the pen 5 from the center pin 4 and then presses the pen 5 on the right pin 4. At that time, a voltage is applied to the pin 4 on the right side, and the lower indicator 7 shown in FIG. In other words, since the child searched for the picture of the pansy, which is common to the items selected by the parent, it can be understood that the lower indicator 7 is to inform the correct answer. When the parent wants to change the selection, the plug 3 should be replaced with another hole 2 each time, and learning on each flower can be performed. In FIG. 1, the number of selection items is pansy,
Cosmos and three roses are used to enhance understanding of the figure.

[0006]

FIG. 2 is an example showing the periphery of a substrate 9 provided in the learning apparatus 1. As shown in FIG. Since the number shown in FIG. 2 is twelve in total, the number of items that can be selected is twelve. The connection between the pin 4 and the switch 6 is made by using a jumper wire at the intersection of the copper foils.
Is the position of the corresponding switch 6, that is, the hole 2
Can be set freely regardless of the position of. Further, the group of holes 2 and the group of switches 6 are integrated as a block 10 so as to fit into the upper, lower, left and right side surfaces of the substrate 9. The switch 6 is composed of the movable contact side and the upper and lower fixed contact sides. However, when the block 10 is used, the upper and lower fixed contact sides are simplified as a metal plate 11 in which a plurality of switches 6 are connected. I do. The metal plate 11 seen in FIG. 2 is on the upper fixed contact side.

[0007]

The fact that the position of the pin 4 can be freely set on the substrate 9 means that the operation of searching for the pin 4, that is, the item having the same content with the pen 5, and the operation of searching for the item are performed. Will be born. In other words, the excitement of discovery leads to the persistence of interest in learning. In addition, the larger the number of items to be selected, the more useful the learning device 1 is.
Many switches 6 can be directly attached to the substrate 9.
Note that the direct attachment of the pins 4, the use of the metal plate 11 on the fixed contact side of the switch 6, and the simple circuit configuration also contribute to the reduction in size and cost of the learning device 1. From the viewpoint of stocking the learning devices 1 in many fields, miniaturization and cost reduction are important.
