Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, and more particularly to an information processing apparatus that manages a user's attendance status using a mobile terminal.

  In lectures held at universities, etc., attendance of students is managed by faculty members for reference of student evaluation. As a conventional attendance management method, there is a method of calling and collecting attendance cards, which are paper media, and collecting student names and student numbers. On the other hand, in recent years, an IC card reader such as a student ID card that stores student-specific identification information is used to install an IC card reader in the classroom. The method of collecting is also performed.

  However, each of the above methods has a problem that attendance by another person can be easily delegated and attendance management cannot be performed accurately. For example, an unauthorized attending action was possible, for example, another person responding to a call, another person submitting an attendance card, or another person borrowing an IC card and having the IC card reader read it.

  For this reason, in recent years, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, a system for managing attendance using a portable terminal owned by each student has been proposed. Specifically, the student's mobile terminal transmits student identification information and keywords, and the attendance status is confirmed by accumulating and managing them. In particular, teachers issue keywords during the class that are transmitted together with identification information to prevent unauthorized attendance information from being transmitted from remote locations.

JP 2004-234120 A

  However, in the system disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, although keywords are transmitted together to prevent unauthorized attendance processing, only a keyword consisting of a simple character string is set. Can not be expected to participate actively. In other words, it is hard to expect the effect of actively listening to lectures because students need not miss even keywords and can easily learn by listening to the students around them. In addition, since the keyword may be leaked in a short time by e-mail or the like, a student at a remote location can obtain the keyword in a short time, and illegal attendance processing becomes possible.

  Further, the above system is configured only for attendance management, and cannot communicate with students and teachers. In other words, despite the use of communication tools such as corners and mobile phones, it is not possible to expect an increase in the opportunities for communication between students and teachers.

  For this reason, in the present invention, the disadvantages of the above-mentioned conventional example are improved. In particular, the reliability of attendance status management is improved, and participation in lectures is actively promoted, and communication opportunities between each other are increased.

Furthermore, the data totalization output processing unit 15 determines whether the calculated total score and the correct answer rate exceed the correct answer rate and the total score set in advance by the teacher, and outputs the determination result together. It is also possible to extract and output only the data of students who are above / below (output means).

  Thereby, the teacher can recognize the total score and the correct answer rate for each student by browsing the data provided from the management server 1, and can easily recognize the student who would have attended. it can. At this time, by extracting and outputting the data of the students who exceed (or fall below) the preset total score and accuracy rate, only the extracted students are present (or absent). The faculty member only has to make a decision, so the convenience of attendance confirmation can be further improved.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the data collection output processing unit 15 of the management server 1 has a function of extracting and outputting only a part of the data selected by the teacher terminal 3 from the answer information.

  Specifically, the data collection output processing unit 15 sends “download” information such as test answer information for each student from the management server 1 to the teacher terminal 3 as shown in FIG. ”Button or“ print ”button is selected, a“ check box ”is set and displayed for each item (personal information identifying a student, total score, each question, etc.) as shown in FIG. Output as follows. Then, by transmitting only the checked items to the teacher terminal 3, the teacher can check only the selected data on the screen or printed paper.

  For example, if “personal information (student name or student ID number)” and “question 1” are checked, the answer to each student's question 1 is sent to the teacher terminal 3 together with the names and student IDs of all students. Is output. In this way, faculty members can easily confirm answers to questions related to attendance and answers to important questions on the screen or by printing out, thereby further improving convenience. Can do.
