Abstract

A method and system is disclosed for enhancing a memorization process by using a mnemonic display implemented. First, the mnemonic display is implemented on a predetermined display area of a display device with one or more border sections, the border sections containing one or more guiding elements in a predetermined order. When one or more learning entities to be memorized by a user of the mnemonic display are identified, the learning entities are placed in the mnemonic display, wherein the first guiding element contained in each learning entity is aligned with a same guiding element in at least one border section, and wherein the locations of the learning entities with reference to the corresponding border sections assist the user to memorize the learning entities.

Claims

1. A method for enhancing a memorization process by using a mnemonic display, the method comprising:

forming a mnemonic display by placing in a predetermined display area on a display device at least one border section, the border section containing one or more guiding elements in a predetermined order; and

placing one or more learning entities to be memorized by a user in the mnemonic display,

wherein a first guiding element contained in each learning entity is aligned with a same guiding element in the border section, and wherein locations of the learning entities with reference to the corresponding guiding elements of the border section assist the user to memorize the learning entities.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the guiding elements are a plurality of alphabets.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the guiding elements are a plurality of numerals.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the learning entity includes one or more alphabets.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the learning entity includes one or more numerals.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising a grid guiding system superimposed on top of the mnemonic display to help identifying the location of each placed learning entity, the grid guiding system having a plurality of sections dividing the mnemonic display.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising connecting the placed learning entities with tracking signs, wherein a pattern of the tracking signs further assists the user to memorize the learning entities.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein a location and a size of the mnemonic display is dynamically determined by an application used by the user.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of placing further includes implementing an indication sign aligning the first guiding element of at least one placed learning entity with the same guiding element in the border section.

10. A method for enhancing a memorization process by using a mnemonic display implemented with a grid learning system, the method comprising:

implementing the grid learning system on a display device with at least one guiding row, the guiding row containing one or more guiding elements in a predetermined order; and

placing one or more learning entities in the grid learning system, wherein a first guiding element of each learning entity is aligned with a same guiding element in the guiding row, and wherein locations of the learning entities with reference to the guiding elements of the guiding row assist the user to memorize the learning entity.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the guiding elements of the guiding row include at least one alphabet.

12. The method of claim 10 wherein the guiding elements of the guiding row include at least one numeral.

13. The method of claim 10 wherein the learning entity includes at least one alphabet.

14. The method of claim 10 wherein the learning entity includes at least one numeral.

15. The method of claim 10 further comprising at least one indication sign aligning the first guiding element of at least one placed learning entity with the same guiding element in the guiding row.

16. A method for enhancing a memorization process by using a mnemonic display implemented with a grid learning system, the method comprising:

implementing the grid learning system on a display device with one or more aligned border sections, the border sections containing one or more guiding elements in a predetermined order, the number of the border sections being determined by the shape of the display device;

identifying one or more learning entities to be memorized by a user of the mnemonic display; and

placing the learning entities in the grid learning system, wherein a first guiding element contained in each learning entity is aligned with a same guiding element in at least one border section, and wherein the shape of the display device and locations of the learning entities with reference to the corresponding border sections assist the user to memorize the learning entities.

17. The method of claim 16 wherein each learning entity includes one or more alphabets.

18. The method of claim 16 wherein the learning entities are a plurality of syllables of a keyword to be memorized by the user.

19. The method of claim 16 wherein each learning entity includes one or more numerals.

20. The method of claim 16 further comprising connecting the placed learning entities with tracking signs, wherein a pattern of the tracking signs further assists the user to memorize the learning entities.

21. A method for memorizing one or more learning entities by a user of a display device, the method comprising:

introducing, to the user, the learning entities initially by placing the learning entities in a mnemonic display, the mnemonic display being implemented on a predetermined display area on the display device having one or more border sections, each learning entity being aligned with a guiding element in at least one border section; and

instructing the user to recall the learning entities by visualizing the locations of the placed learning entities in the mnemonic display with reference to the guiding elements.
