  The control unit 1 has a question counter and an answer frame counter, and sets the value of the question counter and the answer frame counter to 1 when executing the process of obtaining question / answer information (S11). The control unit 1 reads one character from the learning material content 2a read to the RAM 4 (S12), and determines whether or not the read character is “(” (S13). If there is (S13: YES), the control unit 1 reads characters from the learning material content 2a until the character ")" is read (S14).

  When the character “)” is read, the control unit 1 changes the type column to “answer” for the character stored in the question / answer information DB 2b immediately before, and sets it to the reading kana column in step S14. The character read until the character “)” is read, and the value of the answer frame counter is stored in the answer frame number column (S15). The control unit 1 adds 1 to the value of the answer frame counter (S16), and proceeds to step S26.

  When the read character is not “(” (S13: NO), the control unit 1 determines whether or not the read character is “[” (S17). When the read character is “[” ( (S17: YES), the control unit 1 reads characters from the learning material content 2a until the character “]” is read (S18). When the character “]” is read, the control unit 1 immediately issues a question / answer. The character read until the character “]” is read in step S18 is stored in the character reading column of the character stored in the information DB 2b (S19), and the process proceeds to step S26.

  When the read character is not “[” (S17: NO), the control unit 1 determines whether or not the read character is a punctuation mark (S20). When the read character is a punctuation mark (S20: YES), the control unit 1 reads the read character in the character column of the question / answer information DB 2b, the “question” in the type column, and the problem counter in the question number column. Are respectively stored (S21), and the process proceeds to step S26.

  When the read character is not a punctuation mark (S20: NO), the control unit 1 determines whether or not the read character is a symbol indicating a line feed (S22). When the read character is a symbol indicating a line feed (S22: YES), the control unit 1 adds 1 to the value of the question counter (S23), resets the value of the answer frame counter to 1 (S24), step The process proceeds to S26.

  If the read character is not a symbol indicating a line feed (S22: NO), that is, if it is a character such as hiragana, katakana, kanji, numbers, etc., the control unit 1 reads the character read in the character column of the question / answer information DB 2b , “Question” is stored in the type column, and the problem counter value is stored in the question number column (S25), and the process proceeds to step S26.

  In step S26, the control unit 1 determines whether or not all characters described in the teaching material content 2a read into the RAM 4 have been read (S26). If all characters have not been read yet (S26: NO) ), The process returns to step S12. Then, the control unit 1 reads the next one character from the teaching material content 2a read to the RAM 4 (S12), and repeats the processes of steps S13 to S25 described above for the read character. When the above-described processing is completed for all characters in the teaching material content 2a read into the RAM 4 (S26: YES), the control unit 1 ends the question / answer information acquisition processing. As a result, the question / answer information DB 2b as shown in FIG. 4 is stored in the HDD 2, and the control unit 1 returns the process to the teaching material creation process shown in FIG.

  In the question / answer information acquisition process described above, each time a character is registered, the “question” is registered in the type field of the question / answer information DB 2b. Changed the character type to “Solution.” However, for example, when registering each character, nothing is registered in the type column, and after a line break is detected, a blank is displayed in the previous character type column. “Question” may be registered at the location.

  In the above-mentioned problem / answer information acquisition process, one question is described in one line, and the kanji that is read with “()” immediately after the character is the answer part that the answerer should answer. This is a process when the teaching material content 2a is described in accordance with a rule such that a kanji that has been pronounced with “[]” immediately after the character is a problem portion that is displayed with the reading kana in the question sentence. . However, the teaching material content 2a can also be described based on rules other than these, and in this case, the control unit 1 may execute a process of obtaining question / answer information according to each rule.

  Next, the display layout information calculation process in the teaching material creation process by the teaching material creation apparatus 100 described above, specifically, the process of step S3 in the process shown in FIG. 7 will be described based on a flowchart. 10 and 11 are flowcharts showing the procedure of display layout information calculation processing.

  The control unit 1 has a page counter and a problem counter, and sets the value of the page counter to 1 and the value of the problem counter to 0 when executing the display layout information calculation process (S31). The control unit 1 reads the information for one character registered in the question / answer information DB 2b into the RAM 4 (S32), and determines whether or not the question number included in the read information matches the value of the question counter. (S33). If they do not match (S33: NO), the control unit 1 updates the value of the problem counter to the problem number (S34).

  Based on the problem number of the first character read to the RAM 4, the control unit 1 assigns the problem number to the problem constituted by each character to be read (S35), and displays the assigned problem number. The display area is calculated based on various information stored in the HDD 2 (S36). The control unit 1 determines whether or not the calculated display area is the area of the next page (S37). If the display area is the area of the next page (S37: YES), 1 is added to the value of the page counter (S38). ). When the calculated display area is not the area of the next page (S37: NO), the control unit 1 skips the process of step S38.

  The control unit 1 sets the number assigned in step S35 in the character column, “number” in the type column, page counter value in the page number column, question counter value in the question number column, step S36. The coordinates at the upper left of the display area calculated in the above are stored in the display coordinate column, and the display layout information DB 2c is updated (S39).

  If the problem number and the problem counter value match in step S33 (S33: YES), the control unit 1 skips the processes in steps S34 to S39, and sets the character display area read to the RAM 4 in step S32. Calculations are made based on various information stored in the HDD 2 (S40). The control unit 1 stores the information read into the RAM 4 in step S32, specifically, the character, type, reading kana, question number, and answer frame number in the corresponding columns, and the page counter value in the page number column. The upper left coordinate of the display area calculated in step S40 is stored in the display coordinate column, and the display layout information DB 2c is updated (S41).

  The control unit 1 determines whether or not the information read to the RAM 4 in step S32 includes a reading kana (S42). If the reading kana is included (S42: YES), it is stored in the HDD 2. Based on the various information, the display area of the reading pseudonym is calculated (S43). The control unit 1 reads the calculated upper left coordinate of the display area, stores it in the display coordinate column of the kana, and updates the display layout information DB 2c (S44). When the reading pseudonym is not included (S42: NO), the control unit 1 skips the processing of steps S43 and S44, and determines whether or not all the information registered in the question / answer information DB 2b has been read out to the RAM 4. (S45).

  When all the information has not been read yet (S45: NO), the control unit 1 returns the process to step S32, and reads the information for the next one character registered in the question / answer information DB 2b into the RAM 4 (S32). ) The above-described steps S33 to S44 are repeated for the read information. When the above-described processing is completed for all the information registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S45: YES), the control unit 1 ends the display layout information calculation processing. Thereby, the display layout information DB 2c as shown in FIG. 5 is stored in the HDD 2, and the control unit 1 returns the process to the teaching material creation process shown in FIG.

Is determined. Specifically, the answer frame determination unit 44 displays the display area of each answer frame based on the display coordinates registered in the display coordinate column in the answer frame information DB 2 d and the size of the answer frame stored in the HDD 31. And determine in which answer frame the accepted handwriting is input.

  The discrimination method here is, for example, a method of discriminating that an answer frame including the midpoint (centroid) of a stroke of a handwriting is an answer frame in which the handwriting is input, a start point or an end point of a stroke of a handwriting Any method may be used, such as a method of determining that an answer frame containing “” is an answer frame in which a handwriting is input.

  When the answer frame discriminating unit 44 can discriminate which answer frame the received handwriting is input to, the answer frame discriminating unit 44 puts the handwriting accepting unit in the corresponding area in the handwriting information column of the answer frame information DB 2d of the HDD 31. The handwriting accepted by 42 is registered. When handwriting information is already registered when registering handwriting, it is added and registered at the end of the handwriting information already registered.

  FIG. 21 is a schematic diagram showing the registration contents of the answer frame information DB 2 d, and shows a state in which handwriting information is registered by the answer frame determination means 44. Accordingly, the registered content in the handwriting information column of the answer frame information DB 2d is the answer frame discriminating means 44 each time the answer frame discriminating means 44 discriminates for which answer frame the inputted handwriting is input. Registered by (control unit 1).

  The handwriting receiving means 42, the handwriting display means 43, and the answer frame determination means 44 perform the above-described processes each time a handwriting is input. Therefore, each time the handwriting accepting means 42 accepts the handwriting, the handwriting input by the handwriting display means 43 is displayed in the teaching material display area 35a of the display unit 35, and the handwriting input by the answer frame determining means 44 is displayed in the answer frame information DB 2d. It accumulates in the corresponding handwriting information column. When the operator of the computer 101 operates the “Erase” button displayed in the operation button area 35b in the display screen shown in FIG. 20 using the operation unit 34, the handwriting receiving unit 42 receives the input. It is determined which handwriting displayed on the teaching material display area 35a has the input point coordinates. Each time it is determined which handwriting the received input point coordinates are on, the handwriting display unit 43 deletes the determined handwriting and deletes the corresponding handwriting information from the answer frame information DB 2d.

  The scoring instruction accepting means 45 accepts a scoring instruction when the operator of the computer 101 operates the “answer setting” button displayed in the operation button area 35b in the display screen shown in FIG. When the scoring instruction accepting unit 45 accepts the scoring instruction, the character recognizing / evaluating unit 46 stores the handwriting information stored in the answer frame information DB 2d in the character recognition / evaluation dictionary DB 31a for each answer frame. Based on the character recognition / evaluation process.

  Since the second embodiment is a teaching material for writing Chinese characters, the character recognition / evaluation means 46 stores the handwriting information in the character recognition / evaluation dictionary DB 31a for each answer frame registered in the answer frame information DB 2d. Based on the character evaluation process. Specifically, the character recognition / evaluation means 46 reads the correct answer and handwriting information registered in the answer frame information DB 2d for each answer frame, and the kanji indicated by the read handwriting information corresponds to the kanji of the correct answer. Determine whether it is correct. In the character recognition / evaluation dictionary DB 31a, as with the handwriting information, handwriting of each character showing a stroke with coordinates of a plurality of points at predetermined intervals is registered.

  The scoring means 47 performs scoring for each answer frame based on the processing result by the character recognition / evaluation means 46, and registers the scoring result in the corresponding area in the scoring result column of the answer frame information DB 2d. The processing result by the character recognition / evaluation means 46 here is, for example, correct answer, wrong stroke order, no splash, crossed, not crossed, and the like. Also, in the scoring result column of the answer frame information DB 2d, “correct answer” is registered in the case of correct answer, and in the case of incorrect answer, each incorrect place, specifically “stroke order”, “hane” , “Intersection”, etc. are registered.

  The scoring result display means 48 displays the scoring result by the scoring means 47 on the learning material displayed in the learning material display area 35a, and displays a display screen as shown in FIG. FIG. 22 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration example of a teaching material display screen. As shown in FIG. 22, circles are displayed in the correct answer frames for the teaching materials for which scoring has been performed, and incorrect parts are displayed in the answer frames that are incorrect. Thereby, the solver can easily grasp the wrong place.

  In the following, a teaching material creation process by the web server 100 in the teaching material creation system 103 of the second embodiment will be described based on a flowchart. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing a procedure of teaching material creation processing. The following processing is executed by the control unit 1 according to a control program stored in the ROM 3 or the HDD 2 of the web server 100.

  When the operator of the computer 101 selects one teaching material content via the initial screen shown in FIG. 16 based on the web page provided from the web server 100, the computer 101 creates the teaching material based on the selected teaching material content. To the web server 100. Thereby, the control part 1 of the web server 100 performs the process (S1-S3) until it stores display layout information in display layout information DB2c similarly to the process of the flowchart shown in FIG.

  Specifically, the control unit 1 reads the learning material content from the learning material content DB 2a of the HDD 2 into the RAM 4 (S1), generates the question / answer information DB 2b from the learning material content (S2), and displays the display layout information from the question / answer information DB 2b. DB2c is generated (S3). Thereby, based on the teaching material content selected by the operator of the computer 101, the question / answer information DB 2b and the display layout information DB 2c are generated and registered in the HDD 2.

  The control unit 1 (answer frame information extracting unit 17) executes an answer frame information extraction process from the display layout information DB 2c stored in the HDD 2 (S5). Thus, the control unit 1 extracts only information related to the answer frame from the display layout information DB 2c, and the extracted answer frame information is stored in the answer frame information DB 2d of the HDD 2. The answer frame information extraction process will be described later. Then, the control unit 1 (teaching material transmission means 16) transmits the created learning material to the computer 101 by transmitting the display layout information DB 2c and the answer frame information DB 2d to the computer 101 via the network N (S6), and processing Exit.

  Next, the answer frame information extraction process in the teaching material creation process by the web server 100 described above, specifically, the process of step S5 in the process shown in FIG. 23 will be described based on a flowchart. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the procedure for extracting answer frame information. The following processing is executed by the control unit 1 (the answer frame information extracting unit 17 and the answer frame information storing unit 18) according to a control program stored in the ROM 3 or the HDD 2 of the web server 100.

  The control unit 1 reads the information for one character registered in the display layout information DB 2c into the RAM 4 (S71), and determines whether or not the character type included in the read information is “solution” (S72). ). When the character type is “answer” (S72: YES), the control unit 1 stores the characters included in the information read out in step S71 in the correct answer column of the answer frame information DB 2d and is included in the read information. Page number, question number, answer frame number, and display coordinates are stored in the corresponding columns, and the answer frame information DB 2d is updated (S73).

  If the type of character included in the read information is not “solution” (S72: NO), the control unit 1 skips the process of step S73 and has read all the information registered in the display layout information DB 2c into the RAM 4. It is determined whether or not (S74). When all the information has not been read yet (S74: NO), the control unit 1 returns the process to step S71, and reads the information for the next one character registered in the display layout information DB 2c into the RAM 4 (S71). The above-described steps S72 and S73 are repeated for the read information.

  When the above-described processing is completed for all information registered in the display layout information DB 2c (S74: YES), the control unit 1 ends the answer frame information extraction processing. Accordingly, the answer frame information DB 2d as shown in FIG. 18 is stored in the HDD 2, and the control unit 1 returns the process to the teaching material creation process shown in FIG.

  Next, the computer 101 that has acquired the display layout information DB 2c and the answer frame information DB 2d created by the web server 100 by the above-described teaching material creation processing stores the teaching material on the display unit 35 based on the registered contents of the acquired display layout information DB 2c. Processing to be displayed, processing to accept a handwriting for the displayed teaching material, and processing to accumulate the accepted handwriting will be described. FIG. 25 and FIG. 26 are flowcharts showing the procedure of handwriting accumulation processing. The following processing is executed by the control unit 30 (handwriting receiving means 42, handwriting display means 43, answer frame determination means 44) in accordance with a control program stored in the ROM 32 or HDD 31 of the computer 101.

  In the computer 101 in which the display layout information DB 2 c and the answer frame information DB 2 d are stored in the HDD 31, the control unit 30 issues a problem based on the registered contents of the display layout information DB 2 c and various information stored in the HDD 2 in advance. The teaching material including the answer frame in the sentence is displayed (S81), and the display screen shown in FIG. The teaching material display processing is the same as the processing in step S4 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, specifically, the processing shown in FIG. 12 and FIG.

  The control unit 30 includes a page counter, a question counter, and an answer frame counter, and sets the value of the page counter to the page number of the question currently displayed on the display unit 35 (S82). The control unit 30 determines whether or not handwriting has been input by the operation unit 34 with respect to the teaching material display area 35a in the display screen (S83). If no handwriting has been input (S83: NO), the display screen is displayed. Wait while displayed.

  When the handwriting is input (S83: YES), the control unit 30 stores the input handwriting in the RAM 33 according to the coordinates of each point indicating the handwriting (S84). Based on the coordinates of each point stored in the RAM 33, the control unit 30 displays the input handwriting on the teaching material displayed in the teaching material display area 35a (S85).

  The control unit 30 sets the value of the question counter and answer frame counter to 1 (S86), and based on the registered contents of the answer frame information DB 2d, the page number of the value indicated by the page counter and the value of the value indicated by the question counter It is determined whether or not there is an answer frame with an answer frame number having a value indicated by the answer frame counter (S87). When the page number of the value indicated by the page counter, the question number of the value indicated by the question counter, and the answer frame number of the value indicated by the answer frame counter are present (S87: YES), the control unit 30 proceeds to step S84. It is determined whether the handwriting stored in the RAM 33 is the handwriting input in the answer frame (S88).

  When the handwriting is input in the answer frame (S88: YES), the control unit 30 stores the handwriting stored in the RAM 33 in step S84 in the corresponding area of the handwriting information column of the answer frame information DB 2d of the HDD 31. (S89), the processing described above is terminated. If it is not the handwriting input in this answer frame (S88: NO), the control unit 30 adds 1 to the value of the answer frame counter (S90), returns the process to step S87, and sets the registered contents in the answer frame information DB 2d. Based on the page number of the value indicated by the page counter, it is again determined whether or not there is an answer frame of the answer frame number indicated by the answer frame counter indicated by the question number indicated by the question counter (S87).

  When the page number of the value indicated by the page counter is the question number of the value indicated by the question counter and there is no answer frame of the answer frame number indicated by the answer frame counter (S87: NO), the control unit 30 1 is added to the value (S91), and based on the registered contents of the answer frame information DB 2d, it is determined whether or not there is an answer frame of the question number of the value indicated by the question counter with the page number indicated by the page counter. (S92). If the page number of the value indicated by the page counter has the answer frame of the question number indicated by the question counter (S92: YES), the control unit 30 resets the value of the answer frame counter to 1 (S93), step The processing returns to S87, and based on the registered contents of the answer frame information DB 2d, the answer frame of the answer frame number of the value indicated by the answer frame counter with the page number of the value indicated by the page counter and the value of the question indicated by the question counter It is determined again whether or not there is (S87).

  When the page number of the value indicated by the page counter does not have the answer frame of the question number indicated by the question counter (S92: NO), that is, all the answer frames displayed in the teaching material display area 35a are described above. When the determination process is finished, the control unit 30 finishes the input handwriting accumulation process. By the above-described processing, handwriting is sequentially accumulated in the handwriting information column of the answer frame information DB 2d shown in FIG.

  Next, a scoring process by the computer 101 in which handwriting is accumulated in the answer frame information DB 2d by the above-described process will be described. 27 and 28 are flowcharts showing the procedure of scoring processing. The following processing is executed by the control unit 30 (scoring instruction receiving means 45, character recognition / evaluation means 46, scoring means 47, scoring result display means 48) in accordance with a control program stored in the ROM 32 or HDD 31 of the computer 101. Is done.

  The control unit 30 determines whether or not a scoring instruction has been accepted depending on whether or not the “answer answer” button displayed in the operation button area 35b in the display screen shown in FIG. S101) If no scoring instruction has been received (S101: NO), the system waits while performing other operations. The control unit 30 includes a page counter, a question counter, and an answer frame counter. When a scoring instruction is received (S101: YES), the values of the page counter, the question counter, and the answer frame counter are each set to 1 ( S102).

  Based on the registered contents of the answer frame information DB 2d, the control unit 30 sets the answer frame of the answer frame number of the value indicated by the answer counter and the question number of the value indicated by the question counter. It is determined whether or not there is (S103). If there is such an answer frame (S103: YES), the control unit 30 reads out handwriting information indicating the handwriting input for the answer frame from the answer frame information DB2d to the RAM 33, and stores the character recognition / evaluation dictionary DB31a. Character recognition / evaluation processing based on the registered contents is executed (S104).

  The control unit 30 performs scoring based on the result of the character recognition / evaluation process (S105), and stores the scoring result in a corresponding area in the scoring result column of the answer frame information DB 2d (S106). Further, the control unit 30 displays the scoring result on the learning material displayed in the learning material display area 35a, and displays a display screen as shown in FIG. 22 on the display unit 35 (S107).

  The control unit 30 adds 1 to the value of the answer frame counter (S108), returns the process to step S103, and based on the registered contents of the answer frame information DB 2d, the question counter is the page number of the value indicated by the page counter. It is determined whether or not there is an answer frame of the answer frame number of the value indicated by the answer frame counter with the indicated problem number (S103). When the page number of the value indicated by the page counter is the question number of the value indicated by the question counter and there is no answer frame of the answer frame number indicated by the answer frame counter (S103: NO), the control unit 30 1 is added to the value (S109), the value of the answer frame counter is reset to 1 (S110), the page number of the value indicated by the page counter, the question number of the value indicated by the question counter, and the value indicated by the answer frame counter It is determined whether or not there is an answer frame with the answer frame number (S111).

  When there is such an answer frame (S111: YES), the control unit 30 moves the process to step S104, and performs the processes of steps S104 to S107 described above for the handwriting input for the answer frame. repeat. When the page number of the value indicated by the page counter is the question number of the value indicated by the question counter and there is no answer frame of the value indicated by the answer frame counter (S111: NO), the control unit 30 1 is added to the value (S112), and the values of the question counter and the answer frame counter are each reset to 1 (S113).

  The control unit 30 determines whether or not there is an answer frame with the answer frame number indicated by the answer frame counter at the page number indicated by the page counter and the question number indicated by the question counter (S114). If there is such an answer frame (S114: YES), the process proceeds to step S104, and the above-described processes of steps S104 to S107 are repeated for the handwriting input for the answer frame. When there is no such answer frame (S114: NO), that is, when the above-described processing is completed for all the handwriting registered in the answer frame information DB 2d, the control unit 30 ends the scoring process of the handwriting information. To do. Through the processing described above, the scoring result is registered in the scoring result column of the answer frame information DB 2d shown in FIG. 21, and the display screen displaying the scoring result of each question is displayed on the display unit 35 as shown in FIG. be able to.

  In the second embodiment described above, the configuration in which the web server 100 generates the answer frame information DB 2d based on the display layout information DB 2c and provides the display layout information DB 2c and the answer frame information DB 2d to the computer 101 has been described. However, the web server 100 may provide only the display layout information DB 2c to the computer 101, and the computer 101 may generate the answer frame information DB 2d based on the display layout information DB 2c. In this case, since the generation processing of the answer frame information DB 2d by the web server 100 can be distributed to each computer 101, the processing load on the web server 100 can be reduced. Further, since only the display layout information DB 2c needs to be provided from the web server 100 to the computer 101, the amount of data transmitted from the web server 100 to the computer 101 can be reduced, and the communication load can be reduced. .

  In the second embodiment described above, the web server 100 performs a process of creating a learning material, specifically, the display layout information DB 2c, from the text format learning material content, and the computer 101 stores the display layout information DB 2c created by the web server 100. Explanation has been given on the configuration for performing the process of displaying the teaching material on the display unit 35 based on the registered content, the process of accumulating the handwriting input to the displayed teaching material, the character recognition / evaluation process of the accumulated handwriting, and the scoring process of the handwriting. . However, for example, it is also possible to configure so that all processing is performed by one apparatus.

  In this case, one apparatus does not need to be the web server 100, and for example, the teaching material creation apparatus 100 described in the first embodiment can be used. Specifically, the character recognition / evaluation dictionary DB 31a is stored in the HDD 2 of the learning material creation apparatus 100, and the control unit 1 of the learning material creation apparatus 100 generates and displays the answer frame information DB 2d from the display layout information DB 2c. Processing for accumulating handwriting in the answer frame information DB 2d when handwriting is input for the teaching material displayed in the section 6, handwriting information for each answer frame registered in the answer frame information DB 2d when scoring is instructed The character recognition / evaluation process may be performed on the above, and the process of scoring the handwriting input to each answer frame based on the result of the character recognition / evaluation may be performed.

  In addition, the web server 100 performs not only the process of generating the display layout information DB 2c from the text-format educational material content and the process of generating the answer frame information DB 2d from the display layout information DB 2c, but also the educational material displayed on the display unit 35 of the computer 101. The handwriting input via the operation unit 34 may be stored in the answer frame information DB 2d. In this case, the computer 101 may transmit the input handwriting to the web server 100 each time handwriting is input to the teaching material displayed on the display unit 35. In this case, the computer 101 may be configured to perform only the character recognition / evaluation process and scoring process for the handwriting. When the scoring is instructed, the web server 100 transmits the answer frame information DB 2d to the computer 101. Thus, the computer 101 can perform character recognition / evaluation processing and scoring processing on the handwriting.

When the determination button is operated on the user information selection screen, the control unit 30 of the computer 101 notifies the web server 100 of the user information selected on the selection screen.

  Hereinafter, in the web server 100 notified of the user information from the computer 101 as described above, the display layout information calculation unit 13 realized by the control unit 1 executing the control program stored in the ROM 3 and the HDD 2. Will be described. FIG. 32 is a functional block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the web server 100. In addition, in each function which the control part 1 of the web server 100 of this Embodiment 3 implement | achieves, since functions other than the display layout information calculation means 13 perform the process same as the process demonstrated in Embodiment 2, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The display layout information calculation unit 13 of the third embodiment performs basically the same processing as the processing by the display layout information calculation unit 13 described in the first embodiment, and displays answer frames and characters in each question sentence. When calculating the coordinates, display parameters corresponding to the user information notified from the computer 101 are used.

  Specifically, in steps S40 and S43 during the display layout information calculation process shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the display layout information calculation unit 13 determines the answer frame corresponding to the user information notified from the computer 101. , The character size, and the reading character size are read from the display parameter DB 2 f into the RAM 4. The display layout information calculation means 13 then displays the character display area read from the question / answer information DB 2b shown in FIG. 4 based on the size of the answer frame, the size of the character, and the size of the reading kana read to the RAM 4. And, if a reading kana is attached to this character, the display area of the reading kana is calculated.

  In this way, the display coordinates of the characters and the reading kana in the question sentence calculated based on the display parameters corresponding to the user information are displayed by the display layout information storage means 14 in accordance with the display coordinates of the characters and the reading kana in the display layout information DB 2c. Each is stored in the column of coordinates. The display layout information calculation means 13 is the same as in Embodiments 1 and 2 described above except that the display coordinates of each character and each reading kana in the question sentence are calculated by referring to the display parameters corresponding to the user information. Since the same processing as that of the display layout information calculation unit 13 described in the above is performed, description of processing other than the processing described above is omitted.

  In the web server 100 of the third embodiment, the learning material transmitting unit 16 displays the display layout when the registration of each information in the display layout information DB 2c and the answer frame information DB 2d is completed, similarly to the learning material transmitting unit 16 of the second embodiment. Along with the information DB 2c and answer frame information DB 2d, display parameters corresponding to user information selected by the operator of the computer 101 are also transmitted to the computer 101 via the network N. The computer 101 stores the display layout information DB 2 c, answer frame information DB 2 d, and display parameters provided from the web server 100 in the HDD 31.

  As a result, the computer 101 uses the display layout information DB 2c, the answer frame information DB 2d, and the display parameters provided from the web server 100 to display characters in a size corresponding to the grade of the answerer of the teaching material as shown in FIG. The teaching material on which the reading kana and the answer frame are displayed can be displayed on the display screen. Therefore, the solver of the learning material can acquire the learning material according to his / her grade or age.

  In the learning material creation system 103 according to the third embodiment having the above-described configuration, the web server 100 performs processing for generating learning materials, specifically, display layout information DB 2c, from the selected text format learning material contents, and registration of the display layout information DB 2c. Processing to generate answer frame information DB 2d from the contents is performed. In addition, the computer 101 displays the learning material on the display unit 35 based on the registered contents of the display layout information DB 2c generated by the web server 100, and inputs the handwriting input to the displayed learning material into the answer frame information DB 2d. Accumulation processing, character recognition / evaluation processing of accumulated handwriting, and scoring processing of handwriting are performed. Since these processes are the same as those described in the first and second embodiments, the description thereof is omitted.

  In the third embodiment described above, the display layout information calculation means 13 displays the display layout information according to the size of the answer frame registered in the display parameter DB 2f corresponding to each user information, the characters in the question sentence, and the size of the reading kana. Although DB2c is generated, the display parameters registered in the display parameter DB2f are, in addition to these, the spacing between adjacent characters in the question sentence, the spacing between the characters in the question sentence and the answer frames included in the question sentence, and the neighboring in the question sentence. The interval between matching answer frames, the interval between adjacent question sentences, the display area of teaching materials, the display direction of question sentences, the interval between adjacent question sentences, the display start position of question sentences, and the like can be used.

  FIG. 33 is a schematic diagram showing a modification of the registered contents of the display parameter DB 2f. In the display parameter DB 2f shown in FIG. 33, user information, the size of the answer frame, and the interval between adjacent answer frames in the question sentence are registered in association with each other. The user information here indicates whether or not each answerer is used to answering by handwritten input using the tablet computer 101, such as “Beginner”, “Intermediate”, and “Advanced”. Yes. Note that the interval between adjacent answer frames is indicated by the number of dots.

  By using the display parameter DB 2 f as shown in FIG. 33, it is possible to create a teaching material in which each question sentence is displayed with display parameters according to whether or not the user is used to answering by handwritten input. In this way, each answerer answers the question by changing the question text and the size of the answer frame according to the characteristics of the answerer of the teaching material, for example, age, school year, whether or not he / she is used to handwriting input, etc. Teaching materials can be displayed in an easy format.

In the type column, information indicating whether each word registered in the English word column is the number of the question, the English word of the answer part, or the voice data is registered. “Answer frame” and “voice” are registered.

  Hereinafter, in the sixth embodiment, a process in which the control unit 1 of the web server 100 generates the display layout information DB 2c based on the registered content of the question / answer information DB 2b will be described. The control unit 1 (display layout information calculating unit 13) of the sixth embodiment reads information registered in the question / answer information DB 2b into the RAM 4 for each word. When the display layout information calculation means 13 reads the information of the first word of each question sentence, the question number for identifying each question sentence based on the question number included in the read information (in FIG. 51, (1)) is assigned, and the type for the number in question is “number”.

The control unit 1 calculates the display area of the problem number based on the display start position of the problem sentence stored in the HDD 2, the size of the character, and the like, and uses the display layout information DB 2c as the first character of the problem sentence. Display area in which "(1)" is displayed in the English word column, "Number" is displayed in the character type column, and the problem number included in the information read into the RAM 4 is calculated in the question number column. Stores the upper left coordinates of each.

  Next, the control unit 1 calculates the display area of this mark based on the mark stored in the HDD 2 indicating that the start of output of audio data is instructed, and displays the display layout as the next character of this question sentence. “Voice” is stored in the type column of the information DB 2c, the problem number included in the information read to the RAM 4 is stored in the question number column, and the calculated upper left coordinate of the display area is stored in the display coordinate column.

  Next, the control unit 1 displays the question sentence display direction, the character size, the answer frame size, the spacing between adjacent characters in the question sentence, the character and answer frame spacing, and the adjacent answer frames stored in the HDD 2. The display area of the answer frame corresponding to the first English word read into the RAM 4 is calculated on the basis of the interval and the like. The controller 1 reads the word information read into the RAM 4, specifically, the English word, the question number, and the answer frame number in each corresponding column of the display layout information DB 2 c, and “answer frame” in the type column, The calculated upper left coordinate of the display area is stored in the display coordinate field.

  The control unit 1 calculates the display area of the answer frame for all English words stored in the question / answer information DB 2b, and generates the display layout information DB 2c shown in FIG. Note that the control unit 1 determines a predetermined interval based on the interval between adjacent question sentences stored in the HDD 2 when each question sentence cannot be displayed in one line based on the teaching material display area stored in the HDD 2. The display area of the answer frame for each English word is calculated so as to be displayed in the next line separated by.

  Further, the control unit 1 cannot display the question sentence in one page based on the information indicating the display area of the teaching material stored in the HDD 2, that is, cannot be displayed in the display area of the display unit 6. In this case, the display area of the answer frame for each English word is calculated so as to be displayed on the next page. Therefore, the control unit 1 calculates the display area as described above for all English words registered in the question / answer information DB 2b and specifies the page number of the page on which each question sentence is displayed. The page numbers may be assigned as 1, 2, 3,... In order from the first page for each teaching material content. The control unit 1 registers the specified page number in the corresponding page number column of the display layout information DB 2c.

  The registered contents of the display layout information DB 2c are stored in the display layout information storage means 14 (control) each time the control unit 1 reads information on one English word from the question / answer information DB 2b and calculates the display area of the answer frame for each English word. Part 1).

  In the sixth embodiment, when the control unit 1 registers display layout information related to all English words included in each question sentence stored in the question / answer information DB 2b in the display layout information DB 2c, it is stored in the HDD 2. By reading the voice data generation processing program into the RAM 4 and executing it, the voice data of the sentence based on each English word read from the question / answer information DB 2b is generated. When the voice data is generated, the control unit 1 registers the generated voice data in the English word column in which “voice” is registered in the type column of the display layout information DB 2c.

  The display layout information calculation process in the teaching material creation process by the web server 100 of the sixth embodiment, specifically, the process of step S3 in the process shown in FIG. explain. 52 and 53 are flowcharts showing the procedure of the display layout information calculation process. The following processing is executed by the control unit 1 (the display layout information calculating unit 13 and the display layout information storing unit 14) according to a control program stored in the ROM 3 or the HDD 2 of the web server 100.

  The control unit 1 includes a page counter and a problem counter, and sets the value of the page counter to 1 and the value of the problem counter to 0 when executing the display layout information calculation process (S161). The control unit 1 reads information for one word registered in the question / answer information DB 2b into the RAM 4 (S162), and determines whether or not the question number included in the read information matches the value of the question counter. (S163). If they do not match (S163: NO), the controller 1 determines whether or not the value of the problem counter is 0 (S164).

  When the value of the problem counter is not 0 (S164: NO), that is, the English words included in the problem of the problem number indicated by the problem counter are already read from the display layout information DB 2c, and the display layout information regarding each English word is displayed. When registered in the layout information DB 2c, the control unit 1 reads out and executes the voice data generation processing program stored in the HDD 2 to the RAM 4, generates English voice data based on the already read English words, The generated voice data is stored in the corresponding English word column of the display layout information DB 2c (S165).

  When the value of the problem counter is 0 (S164: YES), the control unit 1 skips the process of step S165 and updates the value of the problem counter to the problem number (S166). Based on the problem number included in the information read into the RAM 4, the control unit 1 assigns a problem number to the problem consisting of each English word to be read (S 167), and displays a display area for displaying the assigned problem number. The calculation is made based on various information stored in the HDD 2 (S168). The control unit 1 determines whether or not the calculated display area is the area of the next page (S169). If the display area is the area of the next page (S169: YES), 1 is added to the value of the page counter (S170). ). When the calculated display area is not the area of the next page (S169: NO), the control unit 1 skips the process of step S170.

  The control unit 1 sets the number assigned in step S167 in the English word field, “number” in the type field, page counter value in the page number field, problem counter value in the problem number field, The upper left coordinate of the display area calculated in S168 is stored in the display coordinate column, and the display layout information DB 2c is updated (S171). The control unit 1 calculates a mark display area indicating an instruction to start outputting audio data, based on various information stored in the HDD 2 (S172). The control unit 1 sets “voice” in the type column, the page counter value in the page number column, the problem counter value in the question number column, and the upper left coordinate of the calculated display area in the display coordinate column. Each of them is stored, and the display layout information DB 2c is updated (S173).

  In step S163, when the problem number included in the read information matches the value of the problem counter (S163: YES), the control unit 1 skips the processes of steps S164 to S173 and reads them to the RAM 4 in step S162. The display area of English words is calculated based on various information stored in the HDD 2 (S174). The control unit 1 reads the information read into the RAM 4 in step S162, specifically, the English word, the question number, and the answer frame number in each corresponding column, “answer frame” in the type column, and the value of the page counter. Are stored in the page number column and the calculated upper left coordinates of the display area are stored in the display coordinate column, respectively, and the display layout information DB 2c is updated (S175).

  The control unit 1 determines whether or not all the information registered in the question / answer information DB 2b has been read to the RAM 4 (S176). If all the information has not been read yet (S176: NO), the process proceeds to step S162. The information for the next one word registered in the question / answer information DB 2b is read into the RAM 4 (S162), and the processes of steps S163 to S175 described above are repeated for the read information.

  When the above-described processing is completed for all the information registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S176: YES), the control unit 1 ends the display layout information calculation processing. Thereby, the display layout information DB 2c as shown in FIG. 51 is stored in the HDD 2, and the control unit 1 returns the process to the teaching material creation process shown in FIG.

  In the web server 100 in which the display layout information DB 2c as shown in FIG. 51 is registered in the HDD 2 by the processing described above, the control unit 1 extracts only the information related to the answer frame from the registered content of the display layout information DB 2c, and the answer frame information. DB2d is generated. The processing for generating the answer frame information DB 2d based on the registered content of the display layout information DB 2c is the same as the processing described in the second embodiment, specifically, the processing shown in FIG. .

  The control unit 1 of the web server 100 that has generated the display layout information DB 2 c and the answer frame information DB 2 d in this way provides the generated display layout information DB 2 c and the answer frame information DB 2 d to the computer 101 via the network N. The control unit 30 of the computer 101 displays a teaching material including an answer frame in the question sentence based on the registered contents of the display layout information DB 2 c acquired from the web server 100 and various information stored in advance in the HDD 31. To display. The process of displaying the teaching material on the display unit 35 based on the registered content of the display layout information DB 2c is the same as the process described in the first embodiment, specifically, the process shown in FIGS. Is omitted.

  FIG. 54 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration example of a teaching material display screen. The display screen of the sixth embodiment also includes a teaching material display area 35a for displaying teaching materials based on the registered contents of the display layout information DB 2c, a “previous page” button, a “next page” button, a “delete” button, and an “answer matching” button. And an operation button area 35b. In the learning material display area 35 a, “speech” marks for outputting the English sentences of the respective questions are displayed. When the operator of the computer 101 operates the “speech” marks with the operation unit 34, the control unit 30 Then, the voice data registered in the corresponding English word column of the display layout information DB 2c is read out and outputted by the voice output unit.

  In the computer 101 in which the display screen shown in FIG. 54 is displayed on the display unit 35 based on the registered contents of the display layout information DB 2c, the control unit 30 is input by the operation unit 34 to the teaching material display area 35a in the display screen. Accept handwriting. The control unit 30 displays the accepted handwriting in the teaching material display area 35 a and accumulates it in the answer frame information DB 2 d acquired from the web server 100. The handwriting accumulation process input to the teaching material display area 35a is the same as the process described in the second embodiment, specifically, the process shown in FIGS.

  Further, the control unit 30 of the computer 101 gives an instruction for scoring when the operator of the computer 101 operates the “answering” button displayed in the operation button area 35b in the display screen shown in FIG. Accept. When receiving an instruction for scoring, the control unit 30 executes character recognition / evaluation processing based on the character recognition / evaluation dictionary DB 31a for each answer frame on the handwriting information stored in the answer frame information DB 2d.

  Since the sixth embodiment is an English listening material, the control unit 30 executes a character string recognition process for English characters on the handwriting information accumulated for each answer frame, Then, by comparing the correct answer registered in the answer frame information DB 2d, it is determined (scoring) whether the answer input for each answer frame is a correct answer or an incorrect answer. The accumulated handwriting character recognition / evaluation processing and handwriting scoring processing are the same as the processing described in the second embodiment, specifically, the processing shown in FIGS.

  As described above, in the teaching material creation system 103 according to the sixth embodiment, an answer frame is provided at an arbitrary position in a question sentence from text teaching material contents described according to a predetermined rule in order to create an English listening teaching material. Can include teaching materials. Therefore, the creator of the teaching material only needs to create the teaching material content based on the predetermined rule without considering various conditions regarding the display of the question sentence and the answer frame, so that the desired teaching material can be easily created. it can.

  In the above-described sixth embodiment, the configuration in which the audio data corresponding to each problem is directly registered in the English word column of the display layout information DB 2c has been described. However, each audio data is stored in a predetermined file provided in the HDD 2 as one file. It may be stored in a folder, and the file name of each audio data may be registered in the English word column of the display layout information DB 2c. In this case, the audio data can be managed together in one folder, but when the display layout information DB 2c and answer frame information DB 2d generated by the web server 100 are provided to the computer 101, they are stored in a predetermined folder. It is also necessary to provide the audio data file to the computer 101.

In the fifth embodiment, the process for creating a material for filling a term based on the teaching material content is performed in the sixth embodiment. In the above, we explained the process of creating teaching materials for listening to English sentences based on teaching material contents. In the seventh embodiment, a process of creating a teaching material for division based on teaching material content will be described.

  Also in the teaching material creation system according to the seventh embodiment, the web server 100 generates the question / answer information DB 2b from the text-format teaching material content, and generates the display layout information DB 2c based on the registered content of the question / answer information DB 2b. However, since these are different from the processes described in the first to fourth embodiments, only these processes will be described.

  Other processes, specifically, the process in which the web server 100 generates the answer frame information DB 2d based on the registered contents of the display layout information DB 2c, and the computer 101 registers in the display layout information DB 2c generated by the web server 100. The processing for displaying teaching materials on the display unit 35 based on the contents, the processing for accumulating handwriting input for the displayed teaching materials, the character recognition / evaluation processing for the accumulated handwriting, and the scoring processing for handwriting are described in the first embodiment. Since the processing is the same as that described in 2 and 2, description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 55 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of teaching material contents. In the seventh embodiment, the learning material content is learning material content for creating a divisional learning material, and is described according to a predetermined rule. The predetermined rule here is, for example, one problem described in one line, “/
The number before "is the dividend, the number after" / "is the divisor,
Etc. In the seventh embodiment, the teaching material for calculating an integer quotient and remainder is obtained as a result of division.

  The teaching material content shown in FIG. 55 has six problems, and the first problem means that 315 is a dividend and 6 is an ordinal number. Similarly, the second question means that 286 is a dividend and 6 is an ordinal number. The subsequent questions of the third to sixth questions are also described in the same manner, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  In the web server 100 according to the seventh embodiment, the control unit 1 (question / answer acquisition unit 12) determines the problem information and the answer information from the teaching material content read into the RAM 4 by the content reading unit 11 based on the rules as described above. Is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b of the HDD 2. FIG. 56 is a schematic diagram showing the registered contents of the question / answer information DB 2b. In the question / answer information DB 2b shown in FIG. 56, each numerical value (dividend and ordinal number) acquired from the teaching material content and each numerical value calculated from the acquired numerical value are associated with each numerical value type and each numerical value position (display position). ), The positional deviation between the display position of the number of the first place and the display position of the number of the place of the dividend, and the problem number are registered.

  In the type column in the question / answer information DB 2b, “question” is registered when each numerical value is a numerical value in the question sentence, and “answer” is registered when each numerical value is a numerical value of the answer part. The Also, in the position column of the question / answer information DB 2b, when each numerical value is a dividend, “dividend” is displayed, when each numerical value is a divisor, “divisor” is displayed, and when each numerical value is a quotient, “Quotient” is registered respectively. Also, in the position column, the position immediately below the dividend is the first stage, and the positions of numerical values displayed in the lower stage in the calculation process by handwriting are registered as “first stage” and “second stage”. . In the misalignment column of the question / answer information DB 2b, the misalignment between the one-digit number arranged position and the one-number arranged position displayed in each stage is registered.

  In the question number column in the question / answer information DB 2b, a question number including each numerical value is registered. The question numbers are numbers assigned 1, 2, 3,... In order from the first line to the problems described in each line in the teaching material content shown in FIG. The registration contents of the question / answer information DB 2b are registered by the question / answer acquisition unit 12 (control unit 1) each time the question / answer acquisition unit 12 acquires each value of the dividend and the divisor from one teaching material content.

  Specifically, when the numerical values of the dividend and the divisor are acquired from the teaching material content, the control unit 1 registers the acquired numerical values in the question / answer information DB 2b and performs division to acquire a quotient. The control unit 1 registers the acquired quotient in the question / answer information DB 2b. If the acquired quotient is a single digit number, the control unit 1 calculates the product of the quotient and the divisor, The numerical value to be displayed is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b.

  If the acquired quotient is not a single digit number, the product of the numerical value of the highest place and the divisor is calculated, and the calculated product is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b as a numerical value to be displayed in the first row. At this time, according to the most significant place of the quotient, the position position of the calculated product and the place number of the dividend are placed in the position deviation column of the question / answer information DB 2b. Register the position deviation. For example, if the obtained quotient is a two-digit number, the most significant is the tens place, and the number of the first place of the product of the tens place number and the divisor is the tens place number of the dividend. Since it is displayed directly below, the positional shift here is “1”. In the seventh embodiment, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the result of division (quotient) is an integer of two digits at the maximum.

The control unit 1 has a problem counter, and sets the value of the problem counter to 1 when executing the problem / answer information acquisition process (S191). The control unit 1 reads one character from the teaching material content read to the RAM 4 (S192), and determines whether or not the read character is “/” (S193). When the read character is not “/” (S193: NO), the control unit 1 determines whether or not the read character is a symbol indicating a line feed (S194).

  If the read character is not a symbol indicating a line feed (S194: NO), that is, if it is a number, the control unit 1 holds the read number (S195), and the process proceeds to step S197. When the read character is “/” (S193: YES), the control unit 1 displays the numerical value that has been stored in step S195 so far in the numerical value column, the “question” in the type column, By storing “dividend” in the column of “No.” and the value of the question counter in the column of question number, the information on the dividend is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S196), and the process proceeds to step S197.

  Note that the numerical value composed of the numbers held in step S195 so far is a numerical value arranged in the order in which the respective numbers are held. For example, when two numbers are held, the number held previously is 10 It is a value obtained by multiplying the value multiplied by the number held later. In addition, when three numbers are held, a value obtained by multiplying the first held number by 100, a value obtained by multiplying the second held number by 10, and the third held number are added. It is a numerical value.

  When the read character is a symbol indicating a line feed (S194: YES), the control unit 1 displays the numerical value that has been stored in step S195 so far in the numerical value column, the “question” in the type column, By storing “divisor” in the position column and question counter value in the question number column, the divisor information is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S198).

  The control unit 1 executes the calculation processing program stored in the HDD 2, calculates the quotient based on the dividend and the divisor acquired from the teaching material content (S199), and sets the calculated quotient in the numerical value column in the type column. By storing “solution”, “quotient” in the position column, “0” in the position shift column, and question counter value in the question number column, the quotient information is stored in the question / answer information DB 2b. Register (S200).

  The control unit 1 extracts the highest number of quotients calculated in step S199 (S201), and calculates the product of the extracted highest number and the divisor (S202). The control unit 1 determines whether or not the number extracted in step S201 is a tens digit (S203). If the number is not a tens digit (S203: NO), that is, the quotient is a single digit. , The product calculated in step S202 in the numerical value column, “solution” in the type column, “first stage” in the position column, “0” in the misalignment column, and the problem counter in the question number column Is stored in the question / answer information DB 2b (S204).

  The control unit 1 subtracts the numerical value of the first step from the dividend to calculate the remainder in the division (S205), and calculates the remainder calculated in the numerical value column as “Solution” in the type column and “ By storing “second stage”, “0” in the misalignment column, and question counter value in the question number column, the second stage information is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S206). The control unit 1 adds 1 to the value of the problem counter (S214), and proceeds to step S197.

  If the number extracted in step S201 is a tens digit (S203: YES), that is, if the quotient is two digits, the product calculated in step S202 is displayed in the numerical value column, and “solution” is displayed in the type column. By storing “first stage” in the position column, “1” in the position deviation column, and the question counter value in the question number column, the first stage information is stored in the question / answer information DB 2b. Register (S207).

  The control unit 1 subtracts the number obtained by multiplying the first stage number by 10 from the dividend, calculates a numerical value to be displayed in the second stage two steps below from the dividend (S208), and the numerical value calculated in the numerical value column By storing “solution” in the type column, “second stage” in the position column, “0” in the position shift column, and the problem counter value in the question number column. The eye information is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S209). The control unit 1 calculates the product of the lowest number of quotients, that is, the number of the first place of the quotient and the divisor (S210), and calculates the product calculated in the numerical value column and "solution" in the type column. By storing “third stage” in the position column, “0” in the position deviation column, and the question counter value in the question number column, the third stage information is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b. (S211).

  The control unit 1 subtracts the third-stage numerical value from the second-stage numerical value, calculates the numerical value to be displayed in the fourth-stage lower four stages from the dividend (S212), and calculates the numerical value calculated in the numerical value column, By storing “solution” in the type column, “fourth stage” in the position column, “0” in the position deviation column, and the problem counter value in the problem number column, respectively. Information is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S213). The control unit 1 adds 1 to the value of the problem counter (S214), and proceeds to step S197.

  In step S197, the control unit 1 determines whether or not all characters described in the teaching material content read to the RAM 4 have been read (S197). If all characters have not been read yet (S197: NO) The process returns to step S192. Then, the control unit 1 reads the next one character from the teaching material content read to the RAM 4 (S192), and repeats the processes of steps S193 to S214 described above for the read character. When the above-described processing is completed for all the characters in the learning material content read into the RAM 4 (S197: YES), the control unit 1 ends the question / answer information acquisition processing. As a result, the question / answer information DB 2b as shown in FIG. 56 is stored in the HDD 2, and the control unit 1 returns the process to the teaching material creation process shown in FIG.

In the above-described problem / answer information acquisition process, one question is described in one line, the number described before “/” is a dividend, and the number described after “/” is a divisor. This is a process in the case where teaching material contents are described according to the rules such as. However, the teaching material content can also be described based on rules other than these, and in this case, the control unit 1 may execute a process of obtaining question / answer information according to each rule.

  In the web server 100 in which the question / answer information DB2b as shown in FIG. 56 is registered in the HDD 2 by the processing described above, the control unit 1 (display layout information calculating means 13) registers the contents of the question / answer information DB 2b and the HDD 2 The display layout information DB 2 c is registered in the HDD 2 by calculating display layout information of question sentences and answer frames based on various information stored in advance.

The display layout information DB 2c shown in FIG. 60 has columns for numerical values, types, page numbers, question numbers, answer frame numbers, and display coordinates. In the numerical value column, numerical values read from the question / answer information DB 2b are registered one by one. In the numerical value column, a problem number assigned to each question sentence, division symbol data of a symbol indicating division, and the like are registered. In the type column, whether each numerical value registered in the numerical value column is a numerical value indicating the number of the question, a numerical value of the question part, a numerical value of the answer part, or a symbol indicating division. Correspondingly, “number”, “number”, “solution”, and “divider” are registered.

  Hereinafter, in the seventh embodiment, a process in which the control unit 1 of the web server 100 generates the display layout information DB 2c based on the registered contents of the question / answer information DB 2b will be described. The control unit 1 (display layout information calculating unit 13) of the seventh embodiment reads information registered in the question / answer information DB 2b into the RAM 4 for each number. When the display layout information calculation means 13 reads the information of the first number of each question sentence, and if the read information is dividend information, each question sentence is based on the question number included in the read information. Is assigned a problem number ((1) in FIG. 60), and the type of the problem number is “number”.

The control unit 1 calculates the display area of the problem number based on the display start position of the problem sentence stored in the HDD 2, the size of the character, and the like, and uses the display layout information DB 2c as the first character of the problem sentence. “(1)” in the numerical value column, “number” in the numerical value type column, and R in the problem number column
The problem number included in the information read to the AM 4 is stored in the upper left coordinate of the display area calculated in the display coordinate column.

FIG. 65 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of teaching material content. In the eighth embodiment, the teaching material content is a teaching material content for creating a teaching material for addition of a fraction, and is described according to a predetermined rule. The predetermined rule here is, for example, the first “/” in which one number is described in one line and the number described before the first “/” is the numerator of the addend. The number written after the “+” after the “+” is the denominator of the addend, the number written after the “+” and before the second “/” is the numerator of the addend, The number after the second “/” is the denominator of the addend, etc. In the eighth embodiment, teaching materials that do not handle mixed numbers are used.

  Therefore, the teaching material content shown in FIG. 65 has six problems, and the first problem means that 1/6 is an addend and 1/8 is an addend. Similarly, the second problem means that ½ is an addend and ¼ is an addend. The subsequent questions of the third to sixth questions are also described in the same manner, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

In the web server 100 of the eighth embodiment, the control unit 1 (question / answer acquisition means 12
) Acquires question information and answer information from the teaching material content read into the RAM 4 by the content reading means 11 based on the rules as described above, and registers them in the question / answer information DB 2 b of the HDD 2. FIG. 66 is a schematic diagram showing the registration contents of the question / answer information DB 2b. The question / answer information DB 2b shown in FIG. 66 associates each numerical value (addend and addend) acquired from the teaching material content and each numerical value calculated from each acquired numerical value, the type of each numerical value, The location and problem number are registered.

  In the type column in the question / answer information DB 2b, “question” is registered when each numerical value is a numerical value in the question sentence, and “answer” is registered when each numerical value is a numerical value of the answer part. The In the column of the position of the question / answer information DB 2b, “numerator 1” is registered when each numerical value is a numerator of an addend, and “numerator” is stored when each numerical value is a denominator of an addend. “1” is registered, “numerator 2” is registered when each numerical value is an addend numerator, and “denominator 2” is registered when each numerical value is an addend denominator. Further, when plus sign data or equal sign data is registered in the numerical value column, “plus sign” or “equal sign” is registered in the corresponding position column, respectively.

  In the question number column in the question / answer information DB 2b, a question number constituted by each numerical value is registered. Note that the question numbers are numbers assigned 1, 2, 3,... In order from the first line to the problems described in each line in the teaching material content shown in FIG. The registration contents of the question / answer information DB 2b are registered by the question / answer acquisition unit 12 (control unit 1) each time the question / answer acquisition unit 12 acquires each value of the addend and the addend from one teaching material content. The

  When the control unit 1 acquires each value of the addend and the addend from the teaching material content, the information on the numerator of the addend, the information on the denominator of the addend, Information and denominator denominator information are registered in the question / answer information DB 2b, respectively, plus information indicating addition and equal sign information are also registered in the question / answer information DB 2b. In addition, the control unit 1 performs addition of the acquired algend and addend to acquire a sum. Specifically, the control unit 1 reads a calculation processing program stored in the HDD 2 into the RAM 4 and executes it, and calculates the greatest common divisor of the numerical values of the denominator of each of the addend and addend. The control unit 1 multiplies the denominator of each of the addend and addend and divides the greatest common divisor calculated from the obtained product. The quotient obtained here is the denominator of the sum of the addend and addend.

  The control unit 1 divides the denominator of the addend from the calculated addend and the denominator of the sum of the addends, and multiplies the obtained quotient by the numerator of the addend. Further, the control unit 1 divides the denominator of the addend from the calculated addend and denominator of the sum of addends, multiplies the obtained quotient by the numerator of the addend, and calculates the sum of the calculated products. To do. The quotient obtained here is the numerator of the sum of the addend and the addend. The control unit 1 registers the algend and the numerator of the sum of the addends and the denominator acquired in the question / answer information DB 2b as described above.

  The problem / answer information acquisition process in the teaching material creation process by the web server 100 of the eighth embodiment, specifically, the process of step S2 in the process shown in FIG. I will explain. 67 and 68 are flowcharts showing the procedure of the question / answer information acquisition process. The following processing is executed by the control unit 1 (question / answer acquisition means 12) according to a control program stored in the ROM 3 or the HDD 2 of the web server 100.

The control unit 1 has a question counter, and sets the value of the question counter to 1 when executing the acquisition process of question / answer information (S261). The control unit 1 reads one character from the teaching material content read to the RAM 4 (S262), and determines whether or not the read character is the first “/” (S263). When the read character is the first “/” (S26)
3: YES), the control unit 1 displays a numerical value consisting of the numbers held so far in the numerical value column, “question” in the type column, “numerator 1” in the position column, and “question number” column. By storing each question counter value, the information on the numerator of the addend is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S264), and the process proceeds to step S278.

  In addition, the numerical value consisting of the numbers held so far is a numerical value arranged in the order in which each number is held. For example, when two numbers are held, the previously held number is multiplied by 10. It is a numerical value obtained by adding the number retained later to the value. In addition, when three numbers are held, a value obtained by multiplying the first held number by 100, a value obtained by multiplying the second held number by 10, and the third held number are added. It is a numerical value. In the eighth embodiment, since each numerical value is a single digit, it is not necessary to perform such calculation.

When the read character is not the first “/” (S263: NO), the control unit 1 determines whether or not the read character is “+” (S265). When the read character is “+” (S265: YES), the control unit 1 displays a numerical value composed of the numbers held so far in the numerical value column, “Question” in the type column, and “position” in the position column. The denominator 1 is stored in the question / answer information DB 2b by storing the value of the problem counter in the question number column, thereby storing the information on the denominator of the addend (S266). The control unit 1 stores plus sign data indicating a plus sign in the numerical value column, “question” in the type column, “plus sign” in the position column, and the problem counter value in the question number column. As a result, the plus sign information is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S267), and the process proceeds to step S278.

  When the read character is not “+” (S265: NO), the control unit 1 determines whether or not the read character is the second “/” (S268), and the second “/”. If this is the case (S268: YES), the numerical value column will contain the numbers that have been stored so far, the type column will be "Question", the position column will be "Molecular 2", and the problem number column will be By storing each counter value, information on the numerator of the addend is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S269), and the process proceeds to step S278.

When the read character is not the second “/” (S268: NO), the control unit 1 determines whether or not the read character is a symbol indicating a line feed (S270). If the read character is not a symbol indicating a line feed (S270: NO), that is, if it is a number, the control unit 1 holds the read number (S271), and proceeds to step S278.

  When the read character is a symbol indicating a line feed (S270: YES), the control unit 1 displays the numerical value composed of the numbers held so far in the numerical value column, the “question” in the type column, and the position column. The denominator 2 is stored in the question number column, and the information on the denominator of the addend is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S272). The control unit 1 stores the equal sign data indicating the equal sign in the numerical value column, the “question” in the type column, the “equal sign” in the position column, and the problem counter value in the problem number column. As a result, the information of the equal sign is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S273).

  The control unit 1 executes the calculation processing program stored in the HDD 2, calculates the sum of the algend and the addend acquired from the teaching material content (S274), and sets the type of the calculated numerator in the numerical value column. By storing “solution” in the column of “No.”, “numerator” in the column of position, and the value of the question counter in the column of question number, the information of the sum numerator is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S275). . Further, the control unit 1 stores the calculated denominator in the numerical value column, the “solution” in the type column, the “denominator” in the position column, and the problem counter value in the question number column. The information on the denominator of the sum is registered in the question / answer information DB 2b (S276).

  The control unit 1 adds 1 to the value of the problem counter (S277), and proceeds to step S278. In step S278, the control unit 1 determines whether or not all characters described in the teaching material content read to the RAM 4 have been read (S278), and when all the characters have not been read yet (S278: NO). The process returns to step S262. Then, the control unit 1 reads the next character from the learning material content read to the RAM 4 (S262), and repeats the above-described processing of steps S263 to S277 for the read character.

  When the above-described processing is completed for all the characters in the learning material content read into the RAM 4 (S278: YES), the control unit 1 ends the question / answer information acquisition processing. As a result, the question / answer information DB 2b as shown in FIG. 66 is stored in the HDD 2, and the control unit 1 returns the process to the teaching material creation process shown in FIG.

In the problem / answer information acquisition process described above, one question is described in one line, and the first “/” in which the number described before the first “/” is the numerator of the addend. The number written after the “+” after the “+” is the denominator of the addend, the number written after the “+” and before the second “/” is the numerator of the addend, This is a process when the teaching material content is described according to a rule such that the number described after the second “/” is the denominator of the addend. However, the teaching material content can also be described based on rules other than these, and in this case, the control unit 1 may execute a process of obtaining question / answer information according to each rule.

  In the web server 100 in which the question / answer information DB2b as shown in FIG. 66 is registered in the HDD 2 by the processing described above, the control unit 1 (display layout information calculating means 13) determines the registration contents of the question / answer information DB 2b and the HDD 2 The display layout information DB is registered in the HDD 2 by calculating the display layout information of the question sentence and the answer frame based on the various information stored in advance.

  FIG. 69 is a schematic diagram showing registered contents of the display layout information DB 2c. The display layout information DB 2c shown in FIG. 69 has columns for numerical values, types, page numbers, question numbers, answer frame numbers, and display coordinates. A numerical value read from the question / answer information DB 2b is registered in the numerical value column. Also, in the numerical value column, the problem number assigned to each question sentence, fractional symbol data indicating a fraction, plus symbol plus data indicating addition, equal sign data, etc. are registered. The Information registered in the position column of the question / answer information DB 2b is registered in the type column.

  Hereinafter, in the eighth embodiment, a process in which the control unit 1 of the web server 100 generates the display layout information DB 2c based on the registered contents of the question / answer information DB 2b will be described. The control unit 1 (display layout information calculation unit 13) of the eighth embodiment reads information registered in the question / answer information DB 2b one by one into the RAM 4.
