It may contain letters, symbols, etc., and be distributed as a one-dimensional or two-dimensional barcode. Also good.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of pre-test start processing of the central device 1, the terminal device 2, the first answering device 3, and the second answering device 4 used in the communication system of the present invention. The examinee turns on a predetermined input operation to the operation unit 27 of the terminal device 2, the operation unit 33 of the first answering device 3, and the operation unit 45 of the second answering device 4, for example, by turning on the terminal device 2, the first answering device. The first answering device 3 and the second answering device 4 are activated. The examinee wears the terminal device 2 on the head and inputs specific information such as an examination number, an examination type, and a name for identifying the examinee to the first answering device 3. The first answering device 3 receives input of specific information from the operation unit 33 or the input / output unit 34 under the control of the control unit 30 (S201), and transmits the received specific information from the communication unit 32 to the central device 1 (S202). ). In step S <b> 201, for example, the first answering device 3 displays an acceptance screen requesting input of specific information on the input / output unit 34, and the examinee uses the second answering device 4 to move to a predetermined position in the accepting screen. This is done by inputting. When a numeric keypad is provided as the operation unit 33, input of step S201 is accepted by inputting specific information such as an examination number into the operation unit 33. Further, the first answering device 3 may be provided with optical reading means such as a bar code reader so as to read specific information such as an examination number which is a bar code. The specific information such as the examination number received by the first answering device 3 is recorded in the recording unit 31 of the first answering device 3. Further, the first answering device 3 may be provided with reading means for reading the biological information, and the reading means may read the biological information as specific information.

  The central device 1 receives the specific information at the communication unit 13 based on the control of the control unit 10 (S203), and the received specific information such as the examination number, the test type, and the name is recorded as the recorded contents of the examinee database 11a. If it is determined that the specific information is valid by the verification, a record associated with the examination number, test type, name, and test date that matches the received specific information and the date of the day is retrieved from the examinee database 11a. The search is performed, and the authentication information, terminal device ID, first answer device ID, and second answer device ID included in the retrieved record are extracted (S204). When the specific information includes biometric information, the validity is determined by comparing the biometric information included with the authentication information. When it is determined that the specific information is not valid, predetermined abnormality processing such as notification to the examinee and the test manager is executed.

  Further, based on the control of the control unit 10, the central device 1 searches the test type database 11b for a record corresponding to the test type and test date, and extracts start time information and end time information included in the searched record ( S205).

  Further, based on the control of the control unit 10, the central device 1 searches the test question database 11c for a record corresponding to the test type and the test date, and extracts the problem content included in the searched record as question information (question information). (S206).

  Then, the central device 1 is extracted in step S205 and the problem information extracted in step S206 to the terminal device 2 identified by the terminal device ID extracted in step S204 based on the control of the control unit 10. The communication unit 13 transmits start time information indicating the start time and end time information indicating the end time (S207). The transmission based on the terminal device ID can be realized by assigning a global IP address to the terminal device 2 and using the assigned global IP address as the terminal device ID. However, the terminal device ID is not limited to the global IP address, and any information may be used as long as it is information that can be used for communication or information associated with the information. Further, the first answer device ID and the second answer device ID extracted in step S204 are transmitted to the terminal device 2.

  Further, the central device 1 transmits the authentication information extracted in step S204 to the second answering device 4 identified by the second answering device ID extracted in step S204 based on the control of the control unit 10. (S208). Transmission based on the second answering device ID can be realized by assigning a global IP address to the second answering device 4 and using the assigned global IP address as the second answering device ID. However, the second answering device ID is not limited to the global IP address, and any information that can be used for communication or information associated with the information may be used. The terminal device ID and the first answer device ID extracted in step S204 are transmitted to the second answer device 4, and the terminal device ID and the second answer device extracted in step S204 are transmitted to the first answer device 3. An ID is sent.

  The terminal device 2 receives the problem information, the start time information, and the end time information in the communication unit 22 based on the control of the control unit 20 (S209), and records the received problem information, start time information, and end time information. Recorded in the unit 21 (S210). In communication between the central device 1 and the terminal device 2, time synchronization is performed with the time measuring unit 14 provided in the central device 1 and the time measuring unit 28 provided in the terminal device 2.

  The second answering device 4 receives the authentication information at the communication unit 42 based on the control of the control unit 40 (S211), and records the received authentication information in the recording unit 41 (S212).

  Instead of transmitting information from the central device 1 to the terminal device 2 and the second answering device 4, respectively, all information is sent to one of the terminal device 1 and the second answering device 4, and from one device to the other Necessary information may be transmitted to the device. Further, answer sheet information indicating an image of the answer sheet, start time information, and end time information may be transmitted from the central apparatus 1 to the first answering apparatus 3. Further, the terminal device 2, the first answering device 3, and the second answering device 4 in which necessary information such as problem information and authentication information has already been recorded may be distributed to the examinees. However, in this case, it is necessary to authenticate the examinee when receiving the distributed devices. In this way, the pre-test start process is executed.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of a test start process of the terminal device 2 used in the communication system of the present invention. After the test pre-start process is executed, the examinee puts the terminal device 2 on the head and waits until the test start time is reached. The problem is not displayed on the display unit 23 of the terminal device 2 until the test start time is reached. However, it is also possible to display only precautions regarding the test included in the problem information. For example, when the terminal device 2 is a video transmission type HMD, an external image photographed by the photographing unit is displayed on the display unit 23. Furthermore, when the terminal device 2 is an optical transmission HMD, the display unit 23 enters a state in which incident light from the outside is transmitted. Based on the control of the control unit 20, the terminal device 2 compares the start time indicated by the start time information recorded in the recording unit 21 and the current time indicated by the time measuring unit 28, and determines whether or not the start time has been reached. (S301).

  If it is determined in step S301 that the start time has been reached (S301: YES), the terminal device 2 determines whether or not the examinee is wearing the attachment / detachment detection unit 24 based on the control of the control unit 20. (S302). When determining whether to attach or detach in step S302, if the terminal device 2 includes a retina sensor, the examinee's retina information, which is authentication information transmitted from the central device 1 in advance, is recorded in the recording unit 21, and the retina information is used. You may make it use authentication processing together.

  When it is determined in step S302 that the terminal device 2 is worn (S302: YES), the terminal device 2 displays the first display surface included in the problem information recorded in the recording unit 21 based on the control of the control unit 20. The problem to be displayed is displayed on the display unit 23 (S303). By displaying the problem image on the display unit 23 in front of the examinee's eyes in step S303, the examinee can visually recognize the problem.

  If it is determined in step S301 that the start time has not been reached (S301: NO), or if it is determined in step S302 that it is not worn (S302: NO), the terminal device 2 controls the control unit 20. Based on the above, the process returns to step S301, and the subsequent processing is repeated. In this way, the test start process of the terminal device 2 is executed.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of a test start process of the first answering device 3 and the second answering device 4 used in the communication system of the present invention. At the start of the test, the first answering device 3 and the second answering device 4 become communicable by communication via the communication network 100 based on each other's global IP address or by direct communication by wired communication or wireless communication. It has become. The first answering device 3 receives the start time information and the end time information from the central device 1, the terminal device 2, or the second answering device 4 and records them in the recording unit 31. The examinee touches the authentication unit 44, which is a fingerprint sensor included in the second answering device 4, with a fingertip, for example, and causes the second answering device 4 to execute an authentication process. Based on the control of the control unit 40, the second answering device 4 receives authentication information such as fingerprint information from the authentication unit 44 (S401), and compares the received authentication information with the authentication information recorded in the recording unit 41. An authentication process based on the above is executed (S402).

  After verifying the validity of the examinee by the authentication process, the second answering device 4 sends a second answering device ID for identifying itself to the first answering device 3 from the communication unit 42 based on the control of the control unit 40. Transmit (S403). If it is determined in step S402 that the authentication is unsuccessful, an abnormal process such as repeating the authentication process within a predetermined number of times and ending the process is executed.

  The first answering device 3 receives the second answering device ID at the communication unit 32 based on the control of the control unit 30 (S404), and the received second answering device ID is transmitted from the central device 1 in advance and recorded. A verification process for verifying the validity of the second answering device 4 is executed by collating with the second answering device ID recorded in the unit 31 (S405).

  After verifying the validity of the second answering device 4 by the verification process, the first answering device 3 has the start time and time counting unit 35 indicated by the start time information recorded in the recording unit 31 based on the control of the control unit 30. The current time shown is compared to determine whether or not the start time has been reached (S406). If it is determined in step S405 that the second answering device 4 is an unauthorized device, predetermined abnormal processing such as repetition of verification processing within a predetermined number of times, termination of processing, display of predetermined information and notification is executed. Is done.

  If it is determined in step S406 that the start time has been reached (S406: YES), the first answering device 3 is ready to accept an answer by contact with the second answering device 4 (S407).

  If it is determined in step S406 that the start time has not been reached (S406: NO), the first answering device 3 returns to step S406 based on the control of the control unit 30 and repeats the subsequent processing. In this way, when starting the test, the test start process of the first answering device 3 and the second answering device 4 is executed. In addition, when the examinee grips the second answering device 4 which is an electronic pen, an authentication unit 44 for detecting the fingerprint is provided at a position where the examinee's finger contacts, and the authentication unit is also provided at predetermined time intervals during the test. The authentication by 44 may be performed intermittently, and in that case, it is possible to prevent an injustice that a person holding the second answering device 4 changes and answers during the test.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of a problem display process of the terminal device 2 used in the communication system of the present invention. The examinee wearing the terminal device 2 can switch the problem page to be displayed on the display unit 23 by moving the head or the eyeball. Based on the control of the control unit 20, the terminal device 2 detects the movement of the wearing examinee's head or eyeball by the motion detection unit 25 (S 501), and is a predetermined movement set in advance. It is determined whether or not (S502). In step S501, for example, the movement of the head such as the movement of the examinee to move the head to the left or right, the movement of the head, the movement of looking up is detected. Further, for example, the examinee detects the movement of the eyeball such as the movement of the eyeball left and right and up and down, and the blinking movement. As long as the movement of moving the head to the left (right) is an operation that can be detected by the movement detection unit 25, only the head may be twisted or the entire body may be moved.

  If it is determined in step S502 that the detected movement is a predetermined movement (S502: YES), the terminal device 2 is preset in association with the detected predetermined movement based on the control of the control unit 20. As a process, a problem image different from the displayed problem image is displayed on the display unit 23 (S503).

  If it is determined in step S502 that the detected motion is not a predetermined motion (S502: NO), the terminal device 2 returns to step S501 under the control of the control unit 20, and repeats the subsequent processing.

  A specific example of the processing in steps S501 to S503 will be described. As described above, the question information includes test questions for a plurality of screens. Each of the plurality of screens is treated as a page of a virtual problem booklet. For example, when the examinee moves his head to the left, the problem on the next page is displayed, and when the examinee moves to the right, the problem on the previous page is displayed. Further, the display process can be appropriately set in association with the operation, such as displaying the problem on the first page or the problem on the last page according to the speed of movement and the angle of the head. Also, instead of displaying a discontinuous screen like switching pages, a screen that cannot be displayed on a single screen in the vertical direction is displayed. In the case of the crawl operation, the screen display may be continuously changed, such as scrolling the screen downward. However, for example, when the operation unit 27 provided as a push button is pressed, when the bag is closed, or when the button is in a state of hitting, the first answering device 3 or the second answering device 4 has a predetermined value. The head is moved in one direction by controlling to execute the processing of steps S501 to S503 for updating the screen based on the movement of the head only when a predetermined condition such as when performing an operation is satisfied. It is possible to avoid problems such as problems caused by continuing and page updating due to unconscious operation. In this way, the problem display process is executed.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of the first answer process of the terminal device 2, the first answering device 3, and the second answering device 4 used in the communication system of the present invention. The first answer process is a process for answering the problem displayed on the terminal device 2 by the test start process and the question display process using the first answer device 3 and the second answer device 4. The examinee visually recognizes the question displayed on the terminal device 2 and performs an operation of designating the question to be answered when answering. The operation for designating the problem is performed by a predetermined operation such as pressing the operation unit 45 which is a push button while the question to be answered is displayed, for example, using the operation unit 45 disposed in the second answering device 4. Is called. Based on the control of the control unit 40, the second answering device 4 accepts an operation for specifying a question to be answered from the operation unit 45 (S601), and the terminal device 2 takes the test taker from the state of the question selection mode for selecting the question. An answer state transition command is transmitted from the communication unit 42 to the terminal device 2 in order to make a transition to the answer mode state to be answered (S602). Further, the second answering device 4 transmits an answer state transition command from the communication unit 42 to the first answering device 3 based on the control of the control unit 40 (S603).

  The terminal device 2 receives the answer state transition command at the communication unit 22 based on the control of the control unit 20 (S604), and fixes the displayed problem based on the received answer state transition command (S605). ). The terminal device 2 shifts from the question selection mode in which the question display process is executed to the answer mode by fixing the question in step S605. In addition, while fixing a question, you may make it display on the display part 23 the image of the answer sheet which receives the answer with respect to the fixed question. When the answer sheet image is displayed on the display unit 23, the answer image may be displayed in a switched manner, or the question image and the answer sheet image may be displayed side by side. If the setting is made so that the external situation can be seen as necessary during the test, the answer sheet image is transmitted from the terminal device 2 to the first answering device 3 and received by the first answering device 3. Based on the obtained image, an image of the answer sheet for the question may be displayed on the input / output unit 34. Such processing can be realized by adding information indicating the image of the answer sheet to the question information and transmitting it from the central device 1 to the terminal device 2.

  Based on the control of the control unit 30, the first response device 3 receives the answer state transition command at the communication unit 32 (S606), and starts accepting the answer (S607). The first answering device 3 transitions to the answer mode by starting accepting the answer in step S607.

  As an operation for answering, the examinee uses the second answering device 4 that is an electronic pen to perform an operation of entering an answer on the input / output unit 34 of the first answering device 3 that is electronic paper. The first answering device 3 detects the contact position of the second answering device 4 in the input layer 341 of the input / output unit 34 based on the control of the control unit 30 (S608), and detects the detected contact position and its locus. Based on this, answer information indicating an answer is generated (S609), and the generated answer information is transmitted from the communication unit 32 to the terminal device 2 (S610). In addition, for the operation and processing for entering an answer on the first answering device 3 using the second answering device 4 in steps S608 to S609, the performance such as convenience and operability is improved by appropriately adopting existing technology. Can be made. For example, by operating the operation unit 45 of the second answering device 4, it is possible to selectively use processes such as answer entry and correction. The generation and transmission of the answer information in steps S609 to S610 are based on the locus of the contact position accumulated by the first answering device 3 in the recording unit 31 at a predetermined interval such as 0.1 seconds. The process of generating answer information and transmitting the generated answer information to the terminal device 2 is repeated. As the format of the answer information, a format such as image information based on the locus of the contact position, a coordinate sequence based on a history of coordinates indicating the contact position, or the like is used. The answer information may not be generated and transmitted at a predetermined interval, but may be executed when the examinee performs a predetermined operation on the first answering device 3 or the second answering device 4. Further, the second answering device 4 intermittently executes the authentication by the authenticating unit 44 described in the test start process even during the answering, and the contact information in steps S608 to S609 is limited to the period when the authentication is successful. Is detected and answer information is generated.

  The terminal device 2 receives the answer information at the communication unit 22 based on the control of the control unit 20 (S611), and displays the answer based on the received answer information on the display unit 23 (S612). The answer based on the answer information is displayed, for example, by superimposing it on the image of the answer sheet that is already displayed, so that the examinee can answer the answer at intervals of writing the answer on the answer sheet. In addition, if it is set so that the external situation can be visually recognized as necessary during the test, the answer may be displayed on the input / output unit 34 of the first answering device 3. However, the contents of the answer are displayed only on the display unit 23 so that the external situation cannot be seen, and the contents of the answer can be recognized by those other than the examinee wearing the terminal device 2. Therefore, the possibility of fraud can be reduced.

  Then, the examinee visually recognizes the answer displayed on the terminal device 2 and performs an operation for completing the answer when the answer to the question is finished. The answer completion operation is performed by a predetermined operation such as pressing the operation unit 45 which is a push button in a state where a question to be answered is displayed, for example, using the operation unit 45 disposed in the second answering device 4. . Based on the control of the control unit 40, the second answering device 4 receives an answer completion operation from the operation unit 45 (S613), and causes the terminal device 2 to transition from the answer mode state to the question selection mode state. An answer completion command is transmitted from the communication unit 42 to the terminal device 2 (S614). Further, the second answering device 4 transmits an answer completion command from the communication unit 42 to the first answering device 3 based on the control of the control unit 40 (S615).

  The terminal device 2 receives the answer completion command at the communication unit 22 based on the control of the control unit 20 (S616), and based on the received answer completion command, the answer is associated with the question number indicating the problem related to the answer. Information is recorded in the recording unit 21 (S617). The terminal device 2 transitions from the answer mode to the question selection mode by fixing the answer information in step S616. In addition, after the transition to the question selection mode, when a question that has already been answered is selected again as a question to be answered, the answer based on the recorded answer information is read from the recording unit 21, and an answer is added, deleted, changed, etc. Corrections can be made.

  Based on the control of the control unit 30, the first response device 3 receives an answer completion command at the communication unit 32 (S618), and ends acceptance of the answer (S619). In this way, the first answer process ends.

  Although the form which receives an answer using the 1st answer apparatus 3 and the 2nd answer apparatus 4 was shown as a 1st answer process, this invention is not restricted to this, A 2nd answer is used without using the 1st answer apparatus 3. It is also possible for the device 4 to accept an answer and generate answer information. Therefore, as the second answer process, a mode in which the second answering device 4 receives an answer and generates answer information will be described.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of the second answer processing of the terminal device 2 and the second answering device 4 used in the communication system of the present invention. The examinee performs an operation for designating a question to be answered. Based on the control of the control unit 40, the second answering device 4 accepts an operation for designating a question to be answered from the operation unit 45 (S701), and the terminal device 2 takes the test taker from the state of the question selection mode for selecting the question. An answer state transition command is transmitted from the communication unit 42 to the terminal device 2 in order to make a transition to the answer mode state to be answered (S702).

  The terminal device 2 receives the answer state transition command at the communication unit 22 based on the control of the control unit 20 (S703), and fixes the displayed problem based on the received answer state transition command (S704). ).

  As an operation for answering, the examinee uses the second answering device 4 that is an electronic pen to perform an operation of entering an answer to an appropriate tangible object such as a sheet or a space. Based on the control of the control unit 40, the second answering device 4 uses the motion detection unit 43 to detect the movement of the pen tip that is one end of itself (S705), and presents an answer based on the detected locus of the pen tip. Answer information is generated (S706), and the generated answer information is transmitted from the communication unit 42 to the terminal device 2 (S707). The processing of steps S705 to S707 is executed only when the operation unit 45 provided in the second answering device 4 is pressed, for example. That is, the examinee answers in the space. Since the subsequent processing is the same as the processing after step S611 of the first answer processing, the first answer processing will be referred to and description thereof will be omitted. However, it goes without saying that the processing relating to the first answering device 3 that is not used is not executed. In this way, the second answer process is executed.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of the attachment / detachment detection process of the terminal device 2 used in the communication system of the present invention. As a process for preventing a test taker who once wears the terminal device 2 from causing another person to wear the terminal device 2 illegally, for example, in order to make another person visually recognize the problem, the terminal device 2 of the present invention is under test. The attachment / detachment detection process is executed. The terminal device 2 detects the attachment / detachment state by the attachment / detachment detection unit 24 based on the control of the control unit 20 (S801), and determines whether or not it is attached based on the detection result (S802). In the detection and determination in steps S801 to S802, for example, it may be detected that the terminal device 2 is not worn due to factors such as a head shake or a deviation of the terminal device 2, so that it is not worn. When it is detected in step S801 that it is not worn continuously for 10 seconds or more, it is desirable to appropriately set conditions such as determining that it is not worn in step S802.

  If it is determined in step S802 that the terminal device 2 is attached (S802: YES), the terminal device 2 returns to step S801 under the control of the control unit 20 and repeats the subsequent processing.

  If it is determined in step S802 that the terminal device 2 is not attached (S802: NO), the terminal device 2 prohibits display of a question and acceptance of an answer under the control of the control unit 20 (S803). In prohibiting acceptance of the answer in step S803, an acceptance prohibition command is transmitted to the first answering device 3 and the second answering device 4 as necessary. When the terminal device 2 is removed from the wearing state, by prohibiting the display of the question and the reception of the answer, it becomes possible to prevent an illegal act in which the examinee makes another person visually recognize the problem. . In this manner, the attachment / detachment detection process is executed.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of a test end process of the central device 1 and the terminal device 2 used in the communication system of the present invention. Based on the control of the control unit 20, the terminal device 2 compares the end time indicated by the end time information recorded in the recording unit 21 and the current time indicated by the time measuring unit 28, and determines whether or not the end time has been reached. (S901).

  If it is determined in step S901 that the end time has been reached (S901: YES), the terminal device 2 prohibits acceptance of the answer and displays the question and answer on the display unit 23 based on the control of the control unit 20. (S902), the answer information associated with the question number recorded in the recording unit 21 and the examination number are transmitted from the communication unit 22 to the central apparatus 1 (S903). For the question being answered, the acceptance of the answer is forcibly terminated, and the answer information relating to the answer at the end of the answer is recorded in association with the question number and transmitted to the central apparatus 1. In addition, when display of a question and reception of an answer are prohibited by the above-described attachment / detachment detection processing, answer information and the like based on the content until the prohibition is transmitted to the central apparatus 1. Since it may be considered that the terminal device 2 is unavoidably removed due to a sudden illness or the like, the answer until the terminal device 2 is removed is valid. However, such remedies and sanctions when deemed illegal are set as appropriate.

  Based on the control of the control unit 10, the central device 1 receives the question number, the answer information, and the examination number at the communication unit 13 (S904), and the received question number, the answer information, and the examination number, the test date, It is recorded in the answer database 11d in association with the test type (S905).

  If it is determined in step S901 that the end time has not been reached (S901: NO), the terminal device 2 returns to step S901 based on the control of the control unit 20 and repeats the subsequent processing. In this way, the test end process is executed.

  Then, the test organizer scores the answer indicated by the answer information recorded in the answer database 11d and notifies the examinee of the result. For the processing such as scoring and notification, it is possible to apply various technologies of the system related to the existing CBT.

  In the above-described embodiment, examples of application to various examinations such as a qualification examination, a certification examination, and an entrance examination have been shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and examinations such as intermediate examinations and final examinations that are regularly performed in the university. It can also be used for collecting opinions such as questionnaires, etc., and is also applied to fields such as distribution of meeting materials that distribute time-limited and collect opinions. Is possible.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the mode in which the test is started at the same time has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the same test may be started at different times. Specifically, the test is started at a preset time, a designated time, or an arbitrary time according to the convenience of the examinee or the test organizer, and the elapsed time from the start is set to the preset test time. The test may be terminated when it arrives. Such extension of the degree of freedom regarding the execution time can be applied, for example, when a verification test with different test questions for each examinee is performed. Note that test questions that differ for each examinee may be stored in advance by assigning them to each examinee, or randomly or pre-determined from a large number of pre-stored test questions. The test questions may be automatically generated immediately before the start of the test by combining the test questions selected in accordance with the above rule.

  As described above, the above-described embodiment shows an example of the application of the present invention that is innumerable, and the present invention can be applied in various forms according to various factors such as its purpose, cost, scale, and operation form. It is possible to expand to. In other words, if it is a communication system that displays a question by wearing a terminal device on the head, the configuration of the system, the configuration of each device, the communication mode between each device, the configuration of the database, etc. can be designed as appropriate.
