Abstract

The information system has multiple information elements (2,4), which have a front side and a rear side in each case. The front side of the respective information elements has primary information (14). The rear side of the information element has a group of secondary information, which is assigned to the primary information of the information elements. An independent claim is also included for a method for utilizing information system.

Description

The invention relates to an information system according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for such an information system.

Such information systems, for example, the memory game "Memory", have a plurality of platelets, each with an identical back. Two tiles each have the same appearance on their front side, different from the other tiles. In a common style of playing the tiles are designed with its front on a surface such that the front pages are not visible. If two people are involved in this memory game, they will take turns to reveal two tiles and check the pictures on the tiles. If the figures are the same, then these tiles are assigned to the person who has revealed them. If the images are not the same, the plates are placed again with their front side on the surface.

A disadvantage of the known information systems is that they are substantially as employment for entertainment for the pleasure of themselves essentially without practical objectives.

In contrast, the invention has for its object to provide an information system and a method for an information system, which eliminate the disadvantages mentioned.

This object is achieved by an information system according to the features of claim 1 and a method for an information system according to the features of claim 10.

According to the invention, an information system, in particular a learning aid, a plurality of information elements, each having a front and a Have back. The front side of a respective information element has a primary information. The primary information of at least two information elements forming a group can be unambiguously assigned to one another. In addition, the back of an information element of a group has secondary information. This can be linked to the primary information of the information elements of this group.

This solution has the advantage that when using the information elements, as explained in the introduction prior art, an additional secondary information on the back of a group is present and a relationship between the primary information and the secondary information easily learned which enables the information system to be used as an effective learning aid. With regard to the operation of the learning system, reference is made to the description of the figures.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the front side of an information element of at least one group may have an additional information associated with the primary and secondary information of the group.

The additional information of the front side is advantageously provided in information elements whose backs have the secondary information.

The information elements can simply be designed as information platelets.

Furthermore, the information elements can cost essentially consist essentially of paper, in particular of strong paper.

Preferably, on the backs of the information elements, which have no secondary information, further information, in particular identification of companies or products, provided, for example, the information system is suitable as a giveaway.

The information of the information elements are designed such that they can be detected visually and / or auditory and / or olfactory (via the sense of smell) and / or gustatory (via the sense of taste) and / or haptically.

The primary information of the information elements of a group can be pictures. The secondary information may then contain a supplementary information about the images and the additional information may have a conclusion resulting from the illustrations and the supplementary information. By way of example, the primary information of the information elements of a group represents a blood image and the secondary information represents at least one functional graph containing information about the blood image. The additional information is then, for example, a medical diagnosis associated with the blood count and the function graph.

Preferably, the primary information and the secondary information of information elements of a group are each a sub-information, which in combination give the additional information.

1. a) Anordnen der Informationselemente mit ihrer Vorderseite auf eine Fläche derart, dass die Primär-Informationen der Vorderseiten nicht erkennbar sind;
2. b) Erfassen einer Primär-Information eines keine Sekundär-Information aufweisenden ersten Informationselements;
3. c) i) Erfassen einer Sekundär-Information eines zweiten Informationselements, die mit der Primär-Information des ersten Informationselements verknüpfbar ist, oder ii) zufälliges Erfassen eines zweiten Informationselements mit einer Sekundär-Information;
4. d) nach dem Verfahrensschritt ci) oder cii) Vergleichen der Primär-Information des ersten und zweiten Informationselements und Entfernen des ersten und zweiten Informationselements aus dem Informationssystem, falls die Primär-Informationen eindeutig einander zuordbar sind, ansonsten Anordnen des ersten und zweiten Informationselements derart, dass die Primär-Informationen nicht erkennbar sind.

A method of using such an information system may comprise the following steps:

1. a) arranging the information elements with their front side on a surface such that the primary information of the front pages are not recognizable;
2. b) detecting a primary information of a first information element having no secondary information;
3. c) i) detecting a secondary information of a second information element which is connectable to the primary information of the first information element, or ii) coincidentally detecting a second information element with a secondary information;
4. d) after the method step ci) or cii) comparing the primary information of the first and second information element and removing the first and second information element from the information system, if the primary information is uniquely associated with each other, otherwise arranging the first and second information element such that the primary information is not recognizable.

Other advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of further subclaims.

• Figur 1 a, 1 b und 1 c jeweils in einer Draufsicht Vorderseiten von Informationselementen einer Gruppe gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel; und
• Figur 2a, 2b und 2c jeweils in einer Draufsicht Rückseiten der Informationselemente einer Gruppe gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel.

In the following, an embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to schematic drawings. The figures show:

• Figure 1 a, 1 b and 1 c each in a plan view front pages of information elements of a group according to an embodiment; and
• FIGS. 2a, 2b and 2c each in a plan view back pages of the information elements of a group according to the embodiment.

In the FIGS. 1a to 1c In each case, a group of information elements with their front sides according to an embodiment is shown. Each group here has two approximately rectangular information elements (IE) 2, 4; 6, 8; 10, 12, which are formed as information platelets or plates made of strong paper.

IE 2, 4; 6, 8 and 10, 12 of a group have on their front pages each a primary information 14, 16 and 18. The primary information 14, 16, 18 of a respective group are substantially the same. The primary information 14, 16, 18 are pictures, which represent blood counts. The primary information 14, 16 and 18 of a respective group thus represent an approximately same blood picture.

In the Figures 2a, 2b and 2c are in a plan view back pages of IE 2, 4; 6, 8; 10, 12 according to the embodiment shown. In the upper IE 2, 6 and 10 in the figures, secondary information 20, 22 or 24 is on the rear side shown, these differ from each other and are not assignable to each other.

The backs of the in the Figures 2a, 2b and 2c lower IE 4, 8 and 12 have no or each one not the primary and secondary information 14 to 24 assignable information 25 on. This may be, for example, advertising, company name or brand.

The secondary information 20, 22 and 24 of the IE 2, 6 and 10 are respectively associated with and associated with the primary information 14, 16 and 18 of the front pages and thus with the respective group. The secondary information 20, 22 and 24 is in each case at least one functional graph - in particular a picture of a phenotyping, for example molecular genetic images of the information about the blood count of the respective IE 2, 4; 6, 8 and 10, 12, respectively.

The following is the use of the information system of the FIGS. 1a to 2c explained. In an initial position, the front sides of IE 2 to 12, ie the blood images 14 to 18, are not visible. The IE 2 to 12 are for this purpose with their front pages on a surface, such as a table top, on. An arrangement of IE 2 to 12 on this surface is arbitrary. In a first step, one of the IE 4, 8 or 12, which have no secondary information on its back, is now revealed, whereby the front side is recognizable. The primary information 14, 16 or 18 - ie the blood count - is now the matching secondary information 20, 22 or 24 - ie the function graph - assigned, if the assignment is known. If the assignment is not known, then any secondary information 20, 22 or 24 is selected. The IE 2, 6 or 10 with the selected secondary information 20, 22 and 24 is now turned so that the front is recognizable. It can be checked whether the selected secondary information 20, 22 or 24 has been correctly assigned. This is the case when the primary information 14, 16 or 18 - ie the blood images - of the two revealed IE 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 match. The correct recognition of the connection between the blood count and the associated function graph is thus confirmed. If the primary information 14, 16 or 18-that is to say the blood images-of the two revealed IEs 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 do not match, this results in the learning effect that the function graph does not belong to the blood picture , The appropriately assigned IE 2, 4; 6, 8 and 10, 12 are then preferably of the remaining IE 2, 4; 6, 8 and 10, 12 separated. If the revealed IEs 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 are not appropriately assigned, they will be placed back onto the surface with their front sides.

The procedure described above can be repeated until all IE 2, 4; 6, 8 and 10, 12 are associated with each other.

The information system can have any number of additional groups in addition to the three groups depicted in the figures. It is advantageous if at least two groups are provided.

It is also conceivable that each group has more than two IE with substantially the same primary information, although still only one IE of a respective group has secondary information.

The information system makes it easy to learn difficult relationships between information - in this case between primary and secondary information.

The in the FIGS. 1a to 1c upper IE 2, 6 and 10 each have an additional information 26, 28 and 30 on their front sides. This is at least in each case with the primary and secondary information of the IE 2, 6 and 10, on which it is mapped, in connection. The additional information 26, 28 and 30 are information supplementing the primary and secondary information of IE 2, 6 and 10, respectively. This may, for example, be a medical diagnosis resulting from the blood picture and the functional graph of a group.

Furthermore, the front and back sides of the IE may have 2 to 12 marks 32, these being exemplified in FIGS FIGS. 1a and 1b are shown. These serve for correct orientation or alignment of IE 2 to 12.

The information 14 to 30 and also the markings 32 can be configured as desired. It is conceivable that these can be detected by seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and / or tasting - that is, by all human senses. So also different information types can be combined. For example, as primary information 14 to 16, any other images can be used instead of the blood images. The secondary information 20 to 24 could be a smell via which the primary information 14 to 18 can be deduced. The information 14 to 32 could further be designed as Braille.

Alternatively, it is possible to provide 14 to 32 tones or melodies as information. Thus, as a primary information 14 to 18, a composer could be represented as an illustration, and as a secondary information 20 to 24 a score of this composer could be provided. When turning over the IE 2, 6, 10 with the secondary information 20 to 24, a melody associated with the music notation could then be sounded. For this purpose, a motion sensor and a corresponding device for the reproduction of the melody in the IE 2, 6, 10 is formed. The melody could also be sounded by an actuation - for example by pressing a key formed on the respective IE 2, 6, 10.

It is also conceivable to use the information system for learning a language. In this case, the primary information 14 to 18 of at least two information elements 2 to 12 forming a group could each have an equal word. The associated secondary information could then be a sentence describing the vocabulary or a synonym for the vocabulary.

In a further embodiment, not shown, the information system has a plurality of groups each with six IEs. The IEs one Group have each depicted on their front pages a substantially identical wine bottle with a label as primary information. On the label, for example, the wine producing winery is readable. On the rear sides of the IEs forming a group, an image is in each case shown as secondary information, the images differing from one another. For example, an illustration represents a map with a marked location, where the location is the place of origin of the wine. Another picture shows a photo of the place where the wine is made. Another illustration shows a plant that serves as an illustration of the sweet taste of this wine. Furthermore, a picture with a vine is revealed from which the wine is produced. An illustration shows the coat of arms of the place of origin of the wine. There is nothing pictured on an IE , the wine bottle or any other secondary information. The other groups each have as primary information on another wine bottle and as secondary information, in particular indications of origin for this wine bottle. At least two groups are provided.

The method of using this information system corresponds essentially to this

Disclosed is an information system, in particular a learning aid, which has a plurality of groups of at least two information elements. The information elements each have a front and a back and are formed, for example, as platelets. The front pages show primary information, which can be pictures. The pictures of a group are clearly assignable to each other. On the back of an information element of a respective group, secondary information is displayed. This is, in particular, an information that can be assigned to the image of the front side.
