4. The learner individual study schedule document generating and providing system according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the study menu Web server is a web on which a schedule for an individual who has gained access is displayed.

5. The learner individual study schedule document generating and providing system according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the learner-by-learner study menu generation server has a function of selecting study materials to be studied according to predetermined selection criteria based on a target level of the learner, a date when the target should be attained, a current degree of proficiency of the learner, and a study characteristic of the learner and determining when to present those in a distributed manner.

6. The learner individual study schedule document generating and providing system according to claim 5, characterized in that the study characteristic of the learner is a characteristic that depends on presence/absence and a degree of interest in what the learner studies, a degree of eagerness of the learner about what the learner studies, a degree of attitude toward study, and suitability for what the learner studies that is determined by genes.

7. The learner individual study schedule document generating and providing system according to any one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the learner database is a database formed by a target study level, a date when the target study level is scheduled to be reached, a name of the learner, an address of the learner, a telephone number of the learner, a FAX number of the learner, an e-mail address of the learner, a school or some other party to which the learner belongs, a position of the learner in the school or the party, recent results of the learner, a name of a protector of the learner, genetic information of the learner, and degree-of-proficiency-of-study information.

8. The learner individual study schedule document generating and providing system according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that the learner study history database is formed by a current study schedule of the learner, a study progress result of the learner, a study characteristic that is extracted from the study progress result of the learner, a current degree of proficiency of study, a study time of each study, and a study execution process.

9. The learner individual study schedule document generating and providing system according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that the study material link information database is formed by study material link information by study items, study material link information by study targets, and study material useful link information, and is used in selecting a study schedule document of the learner.
