Abstract

Provided is a functional learning/training device and methods for forming a new sleeping function, which is distinct and independent of general sleeping function, and which enables the user to fall sleep quickly by overcoming the phenomenon of insomnia. When a new sleeping condition is set by actively generating visual activity every night, the phenomenon of insomnia may be solved, such that the user can fall sleep quickly and further, ultimately, with the use of the newly formed sleeping function, even without the use of the present invention, the user can solve the phenomenon of insomnia easily and fall asleep, as if normal person sleeps in a general sleeping function under general circumstances.

Claims

1. A device for forming a new sleeping function against insomnia, the device comprising:

a storage unit;

a voice output unit for outputting voice;

a display unit for displaying a variety of information; and

a control unit for controlling a display of a variety of information on the display unit,

wherein the storage unit stores a plurality of visual images,

the control unit controls a display of an initial screen, an instruction manual, a start button, and a tool bar on the display according to a user'"'"'s manipulation,

the initial screen has an instruction manual button, a selection window for determining a time when the device starts automatically and ends automatically, and the start button,

the instruction manual includes a previous screen button connected to the initial screen, a home screen button, a next screen button, a text button indicative of an instruction manual which is divided into six chapters, and a region in which the instruction manual appears (under the 8-dot line) for moving to each chapter,

the controller unit displays a visual image, through the display unit, including a visual image selection button connected with the initial screen,

the audio output unit repeatedly plays a vocal recording “

Open eyes”

configured to be shown to the initial screen at intervals of 20 seconds until an operation of the device stops once the start button is pressed, the toolbar includes a home button, a voice on-off button, a volume button including a volume controller, an illumination button including an lighting controller, and an automatic screen switching button, the control unit displays a visual image including a circle with a dot in the center in a first screen on the display when the start button is pressed, and

the control unit displays an image showing an angle of eyeballs of a user lying sideways, for 15 seconds at intervals of five minutes, after the start button is pressed.

2. A method of a distance learning of forming a new sleeping function against insomnia, the method comprising:

controlling an angle of eyeballs and a sleep behavior or causing a user to sleep by stopping a flow of thought through an learning instruction or developing a skill of controlling a brain function for forming a new sleeping function, while an instructor shows a visual image to the user when both the user and the instructor are connected to a distance learning device able to display images.

3. An offline leaning method of forming a new sleeping function against insomnia, the method comprising:

controlling an angle of eyeballs and a sleep behavior or causing a user to sleep by stopping a flow of thoughts through an learning instruction or developing a skill of controlling a brain function for forming a new sleeping function, while an instructor shows a visual image to a user after an instructor visits a place at which a learner having insomnia stays or after the instructor invites the learner to a place at which the instructor stays.
