Abstract
The present invention relates generally to the representation of a characters or language constructs via supplemental or alternative visual stimuli. The present invention may be utilized to augment language acquisition via spelling or foreign language tutorials by associating unique colors with traditional representation of the language constructs. Additionally, the present invention may be utilized to implement computer scanning applications by representation of language constructs via unique colors and a simple geometric shape.
Claims29
A method for communicating language constructs comprising the steps of:
- scanning a plurality of scaling symbols of a computer readable indicia to determine baseline values associated with respective chromatic components utilized to encode information on said computer readable indicia;
- scanning a plurality of language construct symbols of said computer readable indicia to determine respective encoding levels for each chromatic component for each of a plurality of language construct symbols;
- comparing the baseline values of the respective chromatic components to said encoding levels to determine a chromatic state of each of said plurality of language construct symbols;
- and
- mapping each of said chromatic states to a respective language construct to decode said computer readable indicia.
A system for communicating language constructs comprising the steps of:
- means for determining baseline values associated with respective chromatic components of a computer readable indicia, wherein said chromatic components are utilized to encode information on said computer readable indicia;
- means for determining respective encoding levels for each chromatic component for each language construct symbol of said plurality of language constructs symbols;
- means for comparing the baseline values of the respective chromatic components to said encoding levels to determine a chromatic state of each of said plurality of language constructs symbols;
- and
- means for mapping each of said chromatic states to a respective language construct to decode said computer readable indicia.
A method for representing language constructs;
- assigning a unique color to each letter of an alphabet;
- and
- communicating letters of said alphabet in terms of said assigned unique colors without utilizing unique geometric shapes to represent said letters of said alphabet, wherein said communicating letters is implemented in a computer-aided language tutorial.
A computer system for providing a language tutorial, comprising:
- means for associating a unique color with each letter of an alphabet;
- means for receiving user input identifying a letter of said alphabet;
- means for prompting a user to enter letters of said alphabet during presentation of said language tutorial to said user;
- and
- means for displaying a respective unique color that is associated with a letter currently expected by said language tutorial.
A computer readable medium including executable instructions for a language tutorial, said computer readable medium comprising:
- code for associating a unique color with each letter of an alphabet;
- code for prompting a user to enter letters of said alphabet during presentation of said language tutorial to a user;
- and
- code for displaying a respective unique color to said user that is associated with a letter currently expected by said language tutorial.
