Abstract

Disclosed is a computer interactive learning system and method, the method being applied to the Internet simulation learning system comprising a learner client to which at least one computer-controllable learner aid device is electrically connected and at which a learning agent is installed, and a learning server connected with the learner client through Internet, the method comprising the steps of: operating the learning agent; downloading a learning information and a character information corresponding to the learner aid device from the learning server; registering the respective learner aid devices as specific characters based on the character information downloaded; responding to a content provided from the learning agent based on the learning information at the learner; determining the response of the learner; and operating the learner aid device to perform a corresponding action depending on the determining result.

Claims

1. A computer interactive learning system comprising:

a learner client having a learner aid device coupled to the learner client and a learning agent installed therein, the learner aid device including a display unit for displaying learning information, a distribution unit coupled to the display unit and having a hub function and a switching function, and an interactive toy coupled to the distribution unit; and

a learning server connected with the learner client through Internet;

wherein the learner aid device comprises;

a housing having a receiving space formed therein and an entrance formed at the front thereof;

a slide board recessed into or protruded from the housing; and

a rotatable supporting stage rotatably installed on the slide board, for supporting the toy.

2. A computer interactive learning system comprising:

a learner client having a learner aid device coupled to the learner client and a learning agent installed therein, the learner aid device including a display unit for displaying learning information, a distribution unit coupled to the display unit and having a hub function and a switching function, and an interactive toy coupled to the distribution unit; and

a learning server connected with the learner client through Internet;

wherein the learner aid device comprises;

a housing having a receiving space formed therein and an entrance formed at the front thereof;

a rotatable supporting stage rotatably installed on a slide board for supporting the toy; and

a door for opening and closing the entrance.
