Abstract

According to the method of the present invention for providing a foreign language acquisition and learning service based on context awareness by using a smart device, a service provider server receives user information from a user terminal, extracts foreign language learning content by using the user information, and transmits same to the user terminal, thereby providing the foreign language learning content that is tailored to the context of the user and the information of the user.

Claims

1. A method of providing a context awareness-based foreign language acquisition and learning service using a smart device, the method comprising:

(1) receiving, by a service provision server, user information from a user terminal;

(2) extracting foreign language learning content using at least any one of context information of a user and the received user information; and

(3) transmitting the extracted foreign language learning content to the user terminal; and

further comprising, before step (2), the step of receiving event information from a scheduler of the user in response to a request from the user terminal,

wherein step (2) comprises the step of extracting the foreign language learning content using the received event information as the context information, and

wherein the user terminal is a smart device on which an application program for receiving and outputting the foreign language learning content has been installed.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user information comprises an age, gender, vocation, foreign language level, hobby or field of interest of the user.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the context information comprises time information, season information, weather information, issue information, theme information, event information received from the user terminal, surrounding environment information, emotion information or location information received from the user terminal.

4. The method of claim 1,

wherein step (1) further comprises receiving setting information from the user terminal, and

wherein step (2) comprises extracting the foreign language learning content further using the setting information.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the setting information comprises times and a frequency at which the foreign language learning content is transmitted at step (3), or a degree of difficulty, quantity, type or content of the foreign language learning content.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein step (3) comprises transmitting the foreign language learning content in a push fashion.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein step (3) comprises transmitting the foreign language learning content using augmented reality, virtual reality or multimedia.
