  Hereinafter, embodiments of a right / false determination rule setting program, a right / false determination rule setting method, and a right / false determination rule setting device will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited by the embodiment.

  FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram illustrating the configuration of the scoring support device according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the scoring support device 100 includes a scanner 110, an input unit 120, a display unit 130, a communication unit 140, a storage unit 150, and a control unit 160. The scoring support device 100 is an example of an application target designation device.

  The scanner 110 is a device that reads a paper medium such as a problem paper on which a problem is described by an optical sensor or the like, and captures the surface of the paper medium as image data. In the following description, the image data that the scanner 110 captures from a paper medium is simply referred to as image data as appropriate.

  The input unit 120 is an input device for the user to input various information to the scoring support device 100. For example, the input unit 120 corresponds to a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, and the like.

  The display unit 130 is a display device that displays information output from the control unit 160. For example, the display unit 130 corresponds to a display, a touch panel, or the like.

  The communication unit 140 is a communication device that performs data communication with an external device via a network. A control unit 160 described later exchanges data with an external device via the communication unit 140.

  The storage unit 150 stores a correct answer table 151 and rule information 152. For example, the storage unit 150 corresponds to a semiconductor memory element such as a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), and a flash memory, and a storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD).

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the correct answer table according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the correct answer table 151 associates the question number, the question area, the answer area, and the correct answer. The question number is information for uniquely identifying a certain question. The question area indicates an area on the image data where the question corresponding to the question number exists. For example, the question area is specified by the coordinates of the upper left corner of the question area and the coordinates of the lower right corner of the question area.

  The answer area indicates an area in which the user answers the question corresponding to the question number. For example, the answer area is specified by the coordinates of the upper left corner of the answer area and the coordinates of the lower right corner of the answer area. The correct answer content indicates the correct answer content corresponding to the corresponding answer area. For example, the correct answer content corresponding to the answer area “(x3, y3), (x4, y4)” is “punctuation mark”. Therefore, when "((reading point)" is input to the answer area "(x3, y3), (x4, y4)" of the electronic data, the answer area becomes a correct answer.

  The scoring rule information 152 is information that defines under what conditions the answer to the question is determined to be correct. For example, the scoring rule information 152 indicates that the answer to the question with the question number is determined to be correct when the correct answer content is input to all the answer areas for the question number and no input is made for the area other than the answer area. Including information. Further, the scoring rule information 152 defines the score when the answer corresponding to the question number is correct.

  The control unit 160 includes an image data acquisition unit 161, a reception unit 162, and a scoring processing unit 163. The control unit 160 corresponds to an integrated device such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The control unit 160 corresponds to an electronic circuit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit).

  The image data acquisition unit 161 is a processing unit that acquires image data from the scanner 110. The image data acquisition unit 161 outputs the image data to the reception unit 162 or the scoring processing unit 163. For example, when the image data acquisition unit 161 acquires the image data of the question paper before the answer is input, the image data acquisition unit 161 outputs the image data to the reception unit 162. When acquiring the image data of the question paper after the answer is input, the image data acquisition unit 161 outputs the image data to the scoring processing unit 163. The user operates the input unit 120 to notify the image data obtaining unit 161 whether the corresponding image data is before the answer is input or after the answer is input. Is also good.

  In the scoring support device 100 according to the first embodiment, a paper medium on which the answer is written by the student may be read by the scanner 110 to perform scoring, or the image data of the question paper may be transferred to the student's terminal device. The score may be displayed by displaying the answer and inputting the answer.

  The accepting unit 162 is a processing unit that accepts designation of one or a plurality of answer areas in the image data, associates each of the one or a plurality of answer areas with a question number, and registers them in the correct answer table 151 in the order in which they were accepted. is there. Further, the accepting unit 162 accepts the correct answer content corresponding to each answer area and registers it in the correct answer table 151. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of image data before an answer is input.

  An example of the processing of the receiving unit 162 will be described. The receiving unit 162 displays the image data 10 shown in FIG. 3 on the display unit 130, for example, and displays a message such as “Please specify a question area, an answer area, and the correct answer”. The accepting unit 162 may also display a “question area designation button”, an “answer area designation button”, a “correct answer content button”, a “go to next question button”, an “end button”, and the like.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the process of the receiving unit according to the first embodiment. For example, a user such as a lecturer operates the input unit 120 to specify the question area 20a and presses the question area specification button 1a. Then, the receiving unit 162 generates a unique question number, and registers the coordinates of the question area 20a in the correct answer table 151 in association with the generated question number.

  After pressing the question area specification button 1a, the user operates the input unit 120 to specify the answer areas 10a, 10b, and 10c, and presses the answer area finger button 1b. Then, the accepting unit 162 registers the coordinates of the answer areas 10a to 10c in the correct answer table 151 in association with the corresponding question numbers. For example, since the answer areas 10a to 10c are included in the question area 20a, the receiving unit 162 registers the coordinates of the answer areas 10a to 10c in the correct answer table 151 in association with the question number of the question area 20a.

  After pressing the answer area designation button 1b, the user operates the input unit 120 to input punctuation marks or the like as the correct answer in the answer areas 10a, 10b, and 10c, and press the correct answer button 1c. Then, the accepting unit 162 performs character analysis on the answer areas 10a to 10c and specifies the correct answer content. The accepting unit 162 registers the answer area and the correct answer in the correct answer table 151 in association with each other.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, when “, (reading point)” is input to the answer area 10a, the accepting unit 162 associates the answer area 10a with the correct answer content “reading point”, and Register in the table 151. When “, (reading point)” is input to the answer area 10b, the accepting unit 162 associates the answer area 10b with the correct answer content “reading point” and registers it in the correct answer table 151. When “. (Punctuation mark)” is input to the answer area 10c, the accepting unit 162 registers the answer area 10c and the correct answer content “punctuation mark” in the correct answer table 151 in association with each other.

  When the user completes the specification of the question area, the specification of the answer area, and the specification of the correct answer for a certain question, the user presses a shift to next question button 1d to specify the question area for the next question and to set the answer area. Start specifying the correct answer content.

  Subsequently, the user specifies the question area 20b and presses the question area specification button 1a. Then, the receiving unit 162 generates a unique question number, and registers the coordinates of the question area 20b in the correct answer table 151 in association with the generated question number.

  After pressing the question area specification button 1a, the user operates the input unit 120 to specify the answer areas 11a and 11b and press the answer area finger button 1b. Then, the accepting unit 162 registers the coordinates of the answer areas 11a and 11b in the correct answer table 151 in association with the corresponding question number. For example, since the answer areas 11a and 11b are included in the question area 20b, the receiving unit 162 registers the coordinates of the answer areas 11a and 11b in the correct answer table 151 in association with the question number of the question area 20b.

  After pressing the answer area designation button 1b, the user operates the input unit 120 to input punctuation marks or the like as correct answers in the answer areas 11a and 11b, and press the correct answer button 1c. Then, the accepting unit 162 performs character analysis on the answer areas 11a and 11b and specifies the correct answer content. The accepting unit 162 registers the answer area and the correct answer in the correct answer table 151 in association with each other.

  When the user completes the specification of the question area, the specification of the answer area, and the specification of the correct answer for a certain question, the user presses a shift to next question button 1d to specify the question area for the next question and to set the answer area. Start specifying the correct answer content. On the other hand, when the above processing is completed for all questions for the image data 10, the user presses the end button 1e. When the end button 1e is pressed, the receiving unit 162 ends the process of registering information in the correct answer table 151.

  When receiving the rule information 152 via the input unit 120 or the communication unit 140, the receiving unit 162 registers the received rule information 152 in the storage unit 150. The user may operate the input unit 120 to appropriately update the rule information 152.

  Returning to the description of FIG. The scoring processing unit 163 is a processing unit that performs scoring based on the correct answer table 151 and the rule information 152 when acquiring the image data to which the answer is input. For example, the scoring processing unit 163 selects a question number in the correct answer table 151 and specifies an answer area corresponding to the selected question number. According to the rule information 152, the scoring processing unit 163 corresponds to a case where the correct answer content is input to each answer area in the question area corresponding to the question number, and no input is made in an area other than the answer area. Give points for questions.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of image data after an answer has been input. For example, in the example shown in the image data 50, punctuation marks 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d, 50e, and 50f are input. Here, the method of inputting each of the punctuation marks 50a to 50f by a student may be a method of filling in a paper medium and reading it with the scanner 110, or a method of using an input device as a terminal device for displaying image data of a question paper. Input method.

  Hereinafter, the processing of the scoring processing unit 163 will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the processing of the scoring processing unit according to the first embodiment. First, a case will be described in which the scoring processing unit 163 scores the answer for the question with the question number “T101”. The answer areas specified by the correct answer table 151 are the answer areas 10a to 10c. The scoring processing unit 163 compares the answer areas 10a to 10c with the image data 50, performs character analysis on the characters included in the answer areas 10a to 10c of the image data 50, and inputs the characters (punctuation marks). To identify.

  The scoring processing unit 163 determines, for each answer area, whether or not each specified character (punctuation mark) matches the correct answer associated with the answer areas 10a to 10c. For example, the question number selected by the scoring processing unit 163 is “T101”, and the coordinates of the answer areas 10a to 10c are “(x3, y3), (x4, y4)”, “(x5, y5), (x6, y6) "," (x7, y7), (x8, y8) ". In the answer area 10a of the image data 50, ", (reading point)" is input, in the answer area 10b, ", (reading point)" is input, and in the answer area 10c, ". (Punctuation)" is input. It is assumed that Then, since the correct answer content of each answer area of the correct answer table 151 matches the punctuation mark input to the answer areas 10a to 10c in FIG. 5, the scoring processing unit 163 inputs the correct answer content to each answer area 10a to 10c. It is determined that it has been performed.

  After comparing the answer areas 10a to 10c, the scoring processing unit 163 determines whether or not an input has been made in an area other than the answer areas 10a to 10c in the question area 20a. For example, the scoring processing unit 163 holds the image data 10 before the answer is input, compares the image data 10 with the image data 50 to which the answer is input, and in the question area 20a, It is determined whether or not an input has been made in an area other than the answer areas 10a to 10c. In the example shown in FIG. 6, in the question area 20a, no input is made in areas other than the answer areas 10a to 10c.

  The scoring processor 163 satisfies the rule information 152 that, within the question area 20a corresponding to the question number, a correct answer is input in each answer area and no input is made in an area other than the answer area. judge. Therefore, the scoring processor 163 gives the score of the question corresponding to the question number “T101”. For example, it is assumed that the score of the question corresponding to the question number is registered in the rule information 152.

  Next, a case will be described in which the scoring processing unit 163 scores the answer for the question with the question number “T102”. The answer areas specified by the correct answer table 151 are the answer areas 11a and 11b. The scoring processing unit 163 compares the answer areas 11a and 11b with the image data 50, performs character analysis on the characters included in the answer areas 11a and 11b of the image data 50, and inputs the characters (punctuation marks). To identify.

  The scoring processing unit 163 determines, for each answer area, whether or not each specified character (punctuation mark) matches the correct answer associated with the answer areas 11a and 11b. For example, the question number selected by the scoring processor 163 is “T102”, and the coordinates of the answer areas 11a and 11b are “(x9, y9), (x10, y10)”, “(x11, y11), (x12, y12) ". It is also assumed that “, (reading point)” is input to the answer area 11a of the image data 50, and “. (Punctuation)” is input to the answer area 11b. Then, since the correct answer content of each answer area of the correct answer table 151 matches the punctuation input to the answer areas 11a and 11b of FIG. 5, the scoring processing unit 163 inputs the correct answer content to each answer area 11a and 11b. It is determined that it has been performed.

  After comparing the answer areas 11a and 11b, the scoring processing unit 163 determines whether or not an input has been made in an area other than the answer areas 11a and 11b in the question area 20b. For example, the scoring processing unit 163 holds the image data 10 before the answer is input, compares the image data 10 with the image data 50 to which the answer is input, and in the question area 20b, It is determined whether or not an input has been made in an area other than the answer areas 11a and 11b. In the example shown in FIG. 6, in the question area 20b, punctuation marks 50f are input in areas other than the answer areas 11a and 11b.

  The scoring processing unit 163 does not satisfy the condition of the rule information 152 that the correct answer is input to each answer area and no input is made to an area other than the answer area in the question area 20b corresponding to the question number. Is determined. Therefore, the scoring processing unit 163 does not give the score of the question corresponding to the question number “T102”.

  The scoring processing unit 163 determines whether or not to give a score for each question by repeatedly executing the above-described processing for each question, and calculates a score for the image data 50 by summing the given scores. The scoring processing unit 163 may display the calculated score on the display unit 130, or may notify the external device of the score via the communication unit.

  Although not shown in FIG. 6, the scoring processing unit 163 performs the scoring process even when no input is made in the answer area or when the input character does not correspond to the correct answer content. , It is determined that the condition of the rule information 152 is not satisfied, and no score corresponding to the question is given.

  Next, a procedure of a registration process in which the scoring support device 100 according to the first embodiment scans the question paper before entering the answer and registers various information in the correct answer table 151 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating the procedure of the registration process according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, the image data obtaining unit 161 of the scoring support device 100 obtains image data by scanning the question paper before answer entry (step S101).

  The receiving unit 162 of the scoring support device 100 causes the display unit 130 to display the image data (Step S102). The accepting unit 162 accepts the specification of a question area and an answer area (Step S103), and accepts a correct punctuation mark for each answer area (Step S104).

  When the input of the answer area and the correct answer for one question has not been completed (No at Step S105), the receiving unit 162 proceeds to Step S103. On the other hand, when the input of the answer area and the correct answer content for one question is completed (Yes at Step S105), the receiving unit 162 proceeds to Step S106.

  The accepting unit 162 registers the question number, the question area, the answer area, and the correct answer in the correct answer table 151 in association with each other (step S106). If the registration process has not been completed (No at Step S107), the reception unit 162 proceeds to Step S102. On the other hand, when ending the registration process (step S107, Yes), the receiving unit 162 ends the process.

  Next, a procedure of a scoring process in which the scoring support device 100 according to the first embodiment scans and scores a question sheet after entering an answer will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating the procedure of the scoring process according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, the image data obtaining unit 161 of the scoring support device 100 obtains the image data in which the answer has been entered by scanning the question paper after the answer has been entered (step S201). Note that the scoring support device 100 may display image data on which no answer is entered on the display unit 130 and accept an answer input for the displayed image data.

  The scoring processing unit 163 of the scoring support device 100 refers to the correct answer table 151 and selects one record corresponding to the unselected question number (Step S202). The scoring processor 163 analyzes the character of the answer area and determines whether or not there is a punctuation mark (step S203). The scoring processor 163 analyzes the characters in the question area other than the answer area, and determines whether or not punctuation marks exist (step S204).

  The scoring processing unit 163 performs scoring based on the determination results of steps S203 and S204 and the rule information 152 (step S205). For example, the scoring processing unit 163 determines in step 205 that, within the question area, the condition of the rule information 152 is that the correct answer is input to all the answer areas and no input is made to an area other than the answer area. Give a score to

  When there is an unselected question number (Step S206, Yes), the scoring processing unit 163 proceeds to Step S202. On the other hand, when there is no unselected question number (Step S206, No), the scoring processing unit 163 outputs a scoring result (Step S207).

  Next, effects of the scoring support device 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. The scoring support device 100 executes a process of accepting designation of one or a plurality of answer areas in the image data, and registering them in the correct answer table 151 in association with the question numbers for each of the one or a plurality of answer areas in the order of acceptance. . For example, by using the information registered in the correct answer table 151, it is possible to score the image data in which the answer is input. For this reason, it is possible to support creation of a question for an electronic terminal from a paper medium used by an instructor, etc., and support of a student's scoring process and score management for the question.

  The scoring assisting device 100 converts the content of the input to the designated one or more answer areas or the content of the input associated with the display of the question number of one of the one or more areas into any one of the questions. It is registered in the correct answer table 151 as the correct answer of the number. For this reason, it is possible to determine whether the answer input to each answer area is correct, and it is possible to perform scoring.

  When receiving the designation of the answer area of the image data and the designation of a plurality of correct answers, the scoring support apparatus 100 receives all of the plurality of designated correct answers and inputs other than the plurality of correct answers. If not, the answer area is stored in the correct answer table 151 as a target to which a scoring rule that gives a score associated with the answer area is applied. For this reason, even if correct answers are input in all answer areas, punctuation marks are input in areas other than the answer areas, and it is possible to determine whether or not the answer is incorrect as a result.

  Since the scoring support device 100 uses the scanned image data, it is possible to easily create a problem for an electronic terminal from a paper medium used by an instructor or the like.

  FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram illustrating the configuration of the scoring support device according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the scoring support device 200 includes a scanner 210, an input unit 220, a display unit 230, a communication unit 240, a storage unit 250, and a control unit 260. The scoring support device 200 is an example of a right / wrong determination rule setting device.

  The description regarding the scanner 210, the input unit 220, the display unit 230, and the communication unit 240 illustrated in FIG. 9 is the same as the description regarding the scanner 110, the input unit 120, the display unit 130, and the communication unit 140 illustrated in FIG.

  The storage unit 250 stores the correct answer table 251 and the scoring rule information 252. For example, the storage unit 250 corresponds to a semiconductor memory device such as a RAM, a ROM, or a flash memory, or a storage device such as an HDD.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the correct answer table according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, the correct answer table 251 associates a question number, a question area, and a correct answer area. The question number is information for uniquely identifying a certain question. The question area indicates an area on the image data where the question corresponding to the question number exists. For example, the question area is specified by the coordinates of the upper left corner of the question area and the coordinates of the lower right corner of the question area.

  The correct answer area indicates an area in which a line surrounding a correct answer can be written in a choice problem including a correct answer and an incorrect answer. For example, the correct answer area is specified by the coordinates of the upper left corner of the correct answer area and the coordinates of the lower right corner of the correct answer area.

  The scoring rule information 252 is information that defines under what conditions the answer to the question is determined to be correct. For example, the scoring rule information 252 includes information indicating that the answer to the question with the question number is determined to be correct when the center or the center of gravity of the surrounding line input by the user is included in the correct answer area. On the other hand, when the center or the center of gravity of the enclosing line input by the user in the question area is not included in the correct answer area, it includes information indicating that the answer to the question with the question number is determined to be incorrect. .

  The control section 260 includes an image data acquisition section 261, a reception section 262, and a scoring processing section 263. The control unit 260 corresponds to an integrated device such as an ASIC or an FPGA. The control unit 260 corresponds to, for example, an electronic circuit such as a CPU or an MPU.

  The image data acquisition unit 261 is a processing unit that acquires image data from the scanner 210. The image data acquisition unit 261 outputs the image data to the reception unit 262 or the scoring processing unit 263. For example, when the image data acquisition unit 261 acquires the image data of the question paper before the answer is input, the image data acquisition unit 261 outputs the image data to the reception unit 262. When acquiring the image data of the question sheet after the answer is input, the image data acquisition unit 261 outputs the image data to the scoring processing unit 263. The user operates the input unit 220 to notify the image data acquisition unit 261 whether the corresponding image data is before the answer is input or after the answer is input. Is also good.

  In the scoring support device 200 according to the second embodiment, the paper medium on which the answer is written by the student may be read by the scanner 210 to perform the scoring, or the image data of the question paper may be transferred to the student's terminal device. The score may be displayed by displaying the answer and inputting the answer.

  The receiving unit 262 is a processing unit that receives information on a question area and a correct answer area for each question and registers the information in the correct answer table 251. When receiving the rule information 262, the receiving unit 262 registers the rule information 262 in the storage unit 250. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of image data before an answer to a selection question is input.

  An example of the processing of the receiving unit 262 will be described. The receiving unit 262 displays the image data 60 shown in FIG. 11 on the display unit 230, for example, and displays a message such as “Please specify a question area and a correct answer area”. The receiving unit 262 may also display a “question area designation button”, a “correct answer area designation button”, a “go to next question button”, an “end button”, and the like.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the process of the receiving unit according to the second embodiment. For example, a user such as a lecturer operates the input unit 220 to specify the question area 80a, and presses the question area specification button 2a. Then, the receiving unit 262 generates a unique question number, and registers the coordinates of the question area 80a in the correct answer table 251 in association with the generated question number.

  After pressing the question area button 2a, the user operates the input unit 220 to specify the correct answer area 70a, and presses the correct answer area specifying button 2b. Then, the accepting unit 262 registers the coordinates of the correct answer area 70a in the correct answer table 251 in association with the corresponding question number.

  When the user completes the specification of the question area and the specification of the correct answer area for a certain question, the user presses the shift to next question button 2c to start the specification of the question area and the specification of the correct answer area for the next question.

  Subsequently, the user specifies the question area 80b and presses the question area specification button 2a. Then, the receiving unit 262 generates a unique question number, and registers the coordinates of the question area 80b in the correct answer table 251 in association with the generated question number.

  After pressing the question area specifying button 2a, the user operates the input unit 220 to specify the correct answer area 70b, and presses the correct answer area specifying button 2b. Then, the accepting unit 262 registers the coordinates of the correct answer area 70b in the correct answer table 251 in association with the corresponding question number.

  When the user completes the specification of the question area and the specification of the correct answer area for a certain question, the user presses the shift to next question button 2c to start the specification of the question area and the specification of the correct answer area for the next question. On the other hand, when the above processing is completed for all questions for the image data 60, the user presses the end button 2d. When the end button 2d is pressed, the receiving unit 262 ends the process of registering information in the correct answer table 251.

  Returning to the description of FIG. The scoring processing unit 263 is a processing unit that performs scoring based on the correct answer table 252 and the rule information 252 when acquiring the image data to which the answer is input. For example, the scoring processor 263 selects a question number in the correct answer table 252 and specifies a correct answer area corresponding to the selected question number. According to the rule information 252, the scoring processing unit 263 gives a score for the corresponding question when the center or the center of gravity of the input surrounding line is located in the correct answer area as an answer. On the other hand, in accordance with the rule information 252, when the center or the center of gravity of the input surrounding line is not located in the correct answer area according to the rule information 252, the scoring processing unit 263 does not give a score for the corresponding question.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of image data after the answer to the selection question is input. For example, in the example shown in the image data 90, surrounding lines 90a and 90b are input. Here, the method of inputting each surrounding line by a student may be a method of writing on a paper medium and reading it by the scanner 210, or a method of inputting using a input device to a terminal device displaying image data of a question paper. You can also do it.

  Hereinafter, the processing of the scoring processing unit 263 will be described. FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the processing of the scoring processing unit according to the second embodiment. First, the case where the scoring processing unit 263 scores the questions in the question area 80a with the question number “T201” in the correct answer table 251 will be described. For example, the scoring processing unit 263 compares the image data 60 before the answer is input with the image data 90 to which the answer is input, and extracts a surrounding line 90a included in the question area 80a.

  The scoring processor 263 determines whether the center or the center of gravity of the surrounding line 90a is located in the correct answer area 70a. In the example shown in FIG. 14, since the center or the center of gravity of the surrounding line 90a is located in the correct answer area 70a, it is determined that the condition of the rule information 252 is satisfied. In this case, the scoring processing unit 263 gives the score of the question corresponding to the question number “T201”. For example, it is assumed that the score of the question corresponding to the question number is registered in the rule information 252.

  Next, a case will be described in which the scoring processing unit 263 scores an answer related to the question in the question area 80b with the question number “T202”. For example, the scoring processing unit 263 compares the image data 60 before the answer is input with the image data 90 to which the answer is input, and extracts the surrounding line 90b included in the question area 80b.

  The scoring processing unit 263 determines whether the center or the center of gravity of the surrounding line 90b is located in the correct answer area 70b. In the example shown in FIG. 14, since the center or the center of gravity of the surrounding line 90b is not located in the correct answer area 70b, it is determined that the condition of the rule information 252 is not satisfied. In this case, the scoring processing unit 263 does not give the score of the question corresponding to the question number “T202”.

  The scoring processing unit 263 determines whether or not to give a score for each question by repeatedly executing the above process for each question, and calculates a score for the image data 90 by summing the given scores. The scoring processing unit 263 may display the calculated score on the display unit 230, or may notify the external device of the score via the communication unit.

  Although not shown in FIG. 14, the scoring processing unit 263 determines whether a line surrounding the question area has not been input or that a plurality of surrounding lines have been selected even though a single item is selected. If so, it does not give a score for the question.

  Next, a procedure of a registration process in which the scoring support device 200 according to the second embodiment scans a question sheet before entering an answer and registers various information in the correct answer table 251 will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating the procedure of the registration process according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 15, the image data obtaining unit 261 of the scoring support device 200 obtains image data by scanning a question sheet before writing an answer (step S301).

  The receiving unit 262 of the scoring support device 200 causes the display unit 230 to display the image data (Step S302). The receiving unit 262 receives designation of a question area and a correct answer area (Step S303). The accepting unit 262 registers the question number, the question area, and the correct answer area in the correct answer table 251 in association with each other (step S304).

  If the registration process has not been completed (No at Step S305), the reception unit 262 proceeds to Step S302. On the other hand, when ending the registration process (step S305, Yes), the reception unit 262 ends the process.

  Next, a procedure of a scoring process in which the scoring support device 200 according to the second embodiment scans and scores a question sheet after entering an answer will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating the procedure of the scoring process according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16, the image data obtaining unit 261 of the scoring support device 200 obtains the image data to which the answer has been input by scanning the question paper after the answer has been entered (step S401). Note that the scoring support device 200 may display image data on which no answer has been input on the display unit 230 and accept an answer input for the displayed image data.

  The scoring processor 263 of the scoring support device 200 refers to the correct answer table 251 and selects one record corresponding to the unselected question number (Step S402). The scoring processor 263 performs image analysis on the question area and extracts a surrounding line (step S403). The scoring processor 263 determines whether the center or the center of gravity of the surrounding line is included in the correct answer area (step S404).

  The scoring processing unit 263 performs scoring based on the determination result and the rule information 252 (Step S405). For example, when the center or the center of gravity of the input surrounding line is located in the correct answer area, the scoring processing unit 263 gives a score for the corresponding question.

  When there is an unselected question number (Step S406, Yes), the scoring processing unit 263 proceeds to Step S402. On the other hand, when there is no unselected question number (Step S406, No), the scoring processing unit 263 outputs a scoring result (Step S407).

  Next, effects of the scoring support device 200 according to the second embodiment will be described. When the correct answer area corresponding to the correct answer is designated in a state where the question sentence for drawing the line surrounding the correct answer is displayed, the scoring support apparatus 200 sets the center or the center of gravity of the input surrounding line in the correct answer area. Is stored in the storage unit 250. For example, by using such rule information, it is possible to score image data to which an answer has been input. For this reason, it is possible to support creation of a question for an electronic terminal from a paper medium used by an instructor, etc., and support of a student's scoring process and score management for the question.

  Next, an example of a computer that executes an application target designation program or a right / false judgment rule setting program that realizes the same functions as the scoring support devices 100 and 200 described in the above embodiment will be described. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of a computer that executes an application target designation program or a right / wrong determination rule setting program.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the computer 300 includes a CPU 301 that executes various arithmetic processes, an input device 302 that receives input of data from a user, and a display 303. Further, the computer 300 includes a reading device 304 that reads a program or the like from a storage medium, an interface device 305 that exchanges data with another computer via a network, and a scanner 306. Further, the computer 300 has a RAM 307 for temporarily storing various information, and a hard disk device 308. The devices 301 to 308 are connected to a bus 309.

  The hard disk device 308 reads out the reception program 308 a and the scoring program 308 b and expands them on the RAM 307. The reception program 308a functions as a reception process 307a. The scoring program 308b functions as a scoring process 307b. For example, the reception process 307a corresponds to the reception units 162 and 262. The scoring process 307b corresponds to the scoring processing units 163 and 263.

  The reception program 308a and the scoring program 308b do not always have to be stored in the hard disk device 308 from the beginning. For example, each program is stored in a “portable physical medium” such as a flexible disk (FD), a CD-ROM, a DVD disk, a magneto-optical disk, or an IC card inserted into the computer 300. Then, the computer 300 may read and execute the reception program 308a and the scoring program 308b.
