Cloud-based interactive e-book launched, supports reading records
Reading records made possible, cloud-based interactive e-book launched ⟦4 National Cheng Kung University has developed a cloud-based interactive e-book system that records students' reading speed and status like a medical record card, reminding teachers to pay attention and provide guidance. ⟦5 National Cheng Kung University yesterday held a results presentation for the cloud-based process interactive e-book system, jointly developed by Professor Huang Yuemin from the Department of Engineering Science at National Cheng Kung University and the Institute for Information Industry. Its functions include interactive multimedia features such as annotation, audio recording and doodle notes, as well as cloud-based process record feedback. It also supports full-text search and indexing, making the e-book an interactive media platform. ⟦6 Huang Yuemin pointed out that the cloud-based process records can record the number and location of students' highlights. Through real-time comparison, it helps teachers understand students' ability to identify key points. The system also records students' reading speed for texts, and through statistical charts, teachers can understand whether students are keeping up with the progress or have reading difficulties. ⟦7 The system has a built-in video camera to detect facial states during reading. Huang Yuemin pointed out that whether students' gaze deviates from the screen, whether they leave their seats, and their blink frequency can be used to judge students' reading concentration. At the same time, heart rate, blood oxygen and cushion pressure sensors are installed to understand students' reading emotions, fatigue level and sitting posture, and to diagnose students' reading bottlenecks. ⟦8 Huang Yuemin also cooperated with Shengli Elementary School in Tainan City to actually apply the cloud-based process e-book system. Students generally expressed that "reading has become interesting and fun," and the ways of highlighting key points have also become more diverse. They can also open another window and use images to assist memory. Teachers can provide personalized guidance according to students' individual differences and different needs.

Huang Yue-min pointed out that the cloud process records can record the number and location of the passages students highlight. Through real-time comparison, this helps teachers understand students' ability to identify key points. The system also records students' reading speed for texts, and through statistical charts helps teachers understand whether students can keep up with the progress or have reading difficulties.
The system has a built-in video camera that detects facial states during reading. Huang Yue-min pointed out that by checking whether students' gaze drifts away from the screen, whether they leave their seat and how often they blink, their reading concentration can be judged. Heartbeat, blood oxygen and seat cushion pressure sensors are also installed to understand students' reading emotions, fatigue level and sitting posture, and to diagnose their reading bottlenecks.
Huang Yue-min also cooperated with Sheng Li Elementary School in Tainan City to put the cloud process e-book system into actual use. Students generally said that "reading has become fun and interesting," and the ways they highlight key points have also become more diverse. They can also open another window and use images to aid memory. Teachers, meanwhile, can provide personalized guidance based on students' individual differences and different needs.
