Referring to FIG. 3, the database unit 22 includes a participant database unit 300, a problem database unit 310, a score database unit 320, and a statistics database unit 330.

The participant database unit 300 includes a list of answers and phone numbers of the participants of the quiz broadcasting program connected to the quiz server 140 using the phone 100, the social security number, and the answers entered for all the questions solved by the participants. Data such as the entered time is stored. Of these, the time information entered the answer is used when determining the final ranking after all questions of the quiz broadcasting program. That is, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when there are several ties, the equal number is determined in the order in which the correct answer is inputted quickly. In addition, all participants accessing the quiz server 140 are first registered in the waiting list of the participant database unit 300. The quiz broadcasting program according to the present invention participates and withdraws as much as possible during the broadcast as well as before the quiz broadcasting program starts. Since the waiting list can be renewed each time a question is asked.

The problem database unit 310 stores various problem data of the quiz broadcasting program and correct answers for all problems. Problem data stored in the problem database unit 310 is read by the DBMS unit 210 and transmitted to the quiz screen generation / management unit 230 or updated with new problem data. The problem data stored in the problem database unit 310 is classified by category, difficulty of a problem, and whether or not a question has been asked and stored in different areas. The problem database unit 310 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.

The score database 320 accumulates and stores scores obtained by a participant of a quiz broadcasting program. That is, the quiz operation / management unit 200 reads the score of the participant who meets the problem in the score database unit 320, adds the score assigned to the corrected problem to the score that is read, and updates the added score to the score database unit 320. And stored again. That is, the score database 320 stores a list of scores obtained by the participant for each problem and accumulated scores together with the participant's identification number.

The statistical database 330 stores the distribution and the percentage of correct answers selected by the participant for each question. Therefore, the operator of the quiz server 140 may be able to repeatedly learn the knowledge that the quiz broadcast program viewers do not know by extracting a problem with a low correct answer rate from the correct answer rate stored in the statistics database unit 330.

4 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the problem database unit 310 in the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, an area corresponding to reference numeral 400 is an unanswered problem area, and an area corresponding to reference number 410 is a previous problem area. Since the structure of the unresolved problem area 400 and the structure of the previously presented problem area 410 are the same, only the unresolved problem area 400 will be described for convenience of description. The row of the unquestioned problem area 400 represents the difficulty of the problem, and the column represents the category of the problem. The difficulty level is 'Very Easy', 'Easy',… It can be composed of 'Hard', 'Very Hard', etc. It is well known that the difficulty of the problem can be classified differently. The categories of issues are 'politics', 'economy',… , 'Culture', 'securities', etc., and the category of problem can be configured differently. Therefore, the operator of the quiz server 140 determines the difficulty and category of the new problem through the DBMS unit 210 and inputs it to the problem database unit 310. On the other hand, the question once asked is deleted from the unsubmitted area 400, and stored again in the same difficulty area and category area of the past area 410. In addition, the operator of the quiz server 140 may permanently delete the problems stored in the previous area 410 through the DBMS unit 210.

5 is an exemplary view showing a problem question screen of the quiz broadcast program according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, reference numeral 500 is a telephone number that viewers who watch a quiz broadcast program press using the telephone 100 to directly participate in a quiz broadcast program. The phone number will continue to be displayed with the commercial, even while the commercial is out, before the quiz program begins. Therefore, the viewer can access the quiz server 140 with sufficient margin. Reference numeral 510 denotes a problem. In the present invention, a problem shows both the type of problem and the score assigned to the problem. In the example of FIG. 5, "President" is the problem type, "20 points" is the assigned score. In addition, the quiz proceeds in a round manner, where the level and the grade of the problem are different for each round. For example, Round 1 is a "Very Easy" type problem, 10 points are distributed, Round 2 is an "Easy" type problem, Score 20 is 20 points, Round 3 is a "Medium" type problem, and Score 30 is a "Hard" problem. 'As a matter of type, scoring may be made up of 50 points and so on. Of course, the difficulty and scoring of the problem for each round may be configured differently. In addition, if you do not enter a number that you think is the correct answer within a predetermined time or if you enter an incorrect answer, the score corresponding to the problem distribution of each round may be reduced.

Reference numeral 520 denotes a time remaining until the quiz broadcast program participant inputs an answer through a figure 530 and a number 540. The figure 530 is reduced by one every second, for example, and the number 540 is also reduced by the second. In an embodiment of the present invention, the quiz broadcast program participant inputs an answer immediately after the quiz question is asked, or a number corresponding to a view that is considered to be the correct answer within 10 seconds immediately after the quiz broadcast program operator reads the problem fingerprint and the example. It must be entered using the button on the phone 100. If the participant presses the button of the telephone 100 after 10 seconds elapses, the ARS server 130 considers that there is no input and calculates the problem as wrong. Of course, the above-described correct answer input time may be set differently. Reference numeral 550 denotes an example of a problem. The participant enters the indicated number through the button of the telephone 100 together with an example of the problem that is considered correct. Reference numeral 560 denotes a part of an image of a host who is conducting a quiz broadcasting program, and the host member hears a problem fingerprint and a view to the participant through voice. Since the problem screen of the quiz broadcasting program illustrated in FIG. 5 is only a preferred embodiment, it may be configured differently.

6 is a diagram illustrating the distribution of participants per view of a problem for a problem according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The participant enters the correct answer input time, for example, 10 seconds, using the telephone 100 after the presenter's question is finished. Then, when the correct answer input time has elapsed, the screen shows how many participants selected the correct answer for each view. Therefore, every participant will be able to assess his / her own skills and the skills of other participants, allowing each participant to consider whether to continue or leave the quiz program. On the other hand, the final ranking of the participants in the quiz broadcasting program according to the present invention is applied only to viewers who participated until the last problem. That is, regardless of the time of participation in the quiz broadcasting program for the first time, only the person who solved the last question is considered for the final ranking.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a process of joining a quiz broadcasting program and transmitting a broadcast wave of the first problem according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, an ARS phone number for participating in a quiz broadcasting program according to the present invention is displayed on an advertisement screen before a quiz broadcasting program starts broadcasting in a specific channel on which a quiz broadcasting program is broadcast. Accordingly, the viewer who wants to participate uses the telephone 100 to dial the ARS phone number displayed on the commercial screen to access the ARS server 130 (S700). When the participant's phone 100 is connected to the ARS server 130, the participant hears an announcement previously stored in the ARS server 130, and according to the announcement, the participant uses a button on the phone 10 to personalize. Information is input (S702). Here, the personal information entered by the participant is personal identification information such as a phone number and social security number that can be contacted. When all the personal information is input, the ARS server 130 determines whether the input telephone number and social security number are normally input (S704). Here, the description of the method for determining whether the telephone number and the social security number are normally input will be omitted since it is a technique well known to those skilled in the art. If the personal information is not normally input, the ARS server 130 informs the participant that the personal information is incorrectly input, and the participant re-enters the personal information according to the announcement of the ARS server 130. If all of the personal information is normally input, the entered personal information is transmitted to the quiz server 140 and stored, and the ARS server 130 assigns an identification number to the participant and informs the participant of the identification number in the announcement. The participant is registered as an identification number in the waiting list of the participant database unit 300 (S706). Here, the identification number is a number used by the quiz server 140 to classify and manage all the participants, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the identification number is set to four digits of the end of the telephone number input when the personal information is input. If the four digits at the end of the phone number of two or more participants are the same, the first four digits of the phone number are assigned to the participant who first accesses the ARS server 130 as the identification number. Change the last number and assign it as an identification number.

The quiz server 140 extracts a problem stored in the problem database unit 310, generates a problem screen using the quiz screen generation / management unit 230, and transmits the problem screen to the broadcasting station server 150 (S708). . Here, the quiz server 140 generates a problem screen by randomly extracting the problem of the area corresponding to the current difficulty level from the unsubmitted area 410 of the problem database unit 310 described with reference to FIG. 4. The broadcasting station server 150 combines a video related to a quiz broadcasting program currently being taken by a broadcasting camera, for example, an image of a host carrying out a quiz broadcasting program, on a problem screen received from the quiz server 140, and then combines the video with the quiz server 140. The image is transmitted through broadcast radio waves (S710). On the other hand, in the quiz broadcast program according to the present invention after the first problem is transmitted to the broadcast wave will be described in detail in FIG.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a quiz broadcasting program proceeds after the first problem is broadcast in the quiz broadcasting program according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the participant watches the quiz screen through the TV 110 screen (S800). The participant reads or listens to the question fingerprint and the view of the quiz screen, and inputs the number of the view that is considered the correct answer within the correct answer input time using the button of the phone 100 (S802). The selection number input through the telephone 100 is transmitted to the ARS server 130 as a DTMF signal, and the ARS server 130 recognizes the number corresponding to the received DTMF signal and transfers the number to the quiz server 140. It transmits (S804). The quiz server 140 generates a distribution screen and a correct answer screen of the participant by view of the problem from the ARS server 130 using the selection number of the participant, and transmits the generated distribution screen and the correct answer screen to the broadcasting station server 150 ( S806). The broadcast station server 150 converts the screens received from the quiz server 140 into a broadcast signal and transmits the signals through radio waves (S808). The reception antenna for the television 110 of the participant receives the broadcasting signal transmitted by the broadcasting station server 150.

On the other hand, the quiz server 140 determines whether the correct answer is corrected for each participant using the selection number received from the ARS server 130, and stores the result in the participant database unit 300 (S810). Then, the quiz server 140 calculates the score for each participant using the result of whether each participant has corrected the answer, and stores the calculated score in the score database unit 320 (S812). Then, the quiz server 140 compares the number of questions set for one-time broadcasting and the number of questions asked (S814), if the set number of questions and the number of questions asked are the same, the quiz question is finished, the score database unit 320 The final rank is calculated using the score stored in step S816. Here, the final ranking is determined by the participant who scores the most points after solving all set questions. However, if there are several tied players, it is difficult to determine the ranking. Therefore, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when there are several tied users, the ranking is determined by selecting the most high-ranked problem among all the tied questions, searching for the time taken for entering the correct answer for each tie, and then ranking the correct answer in the order of tied tie. Can be. If there is no problem with all tied players or even the time taken for correct answer input, the quiz server 140 randomly determines the final ranking of the tied players.

The quiz server 140 generates a final ranking screen through the quiz screen generation / management unit 230 using the calculated ranking, and transmits the final ranking screen to the broadcasting station server 150 (S818). The final ranking screen will display the prize or prize corresponding to each ranking and the identification numbers of the participants in the ranking. On the other hand, after solving all the questions set in the quiz broadcast program, even if the score earned by the participant in the ranking, such as receiving prizes or prizes, the participant may hang up without solving all the problems set in the quiz broadcast program. . In this case, the participant will be included in the ranking but not eligible for prizes or prizes commensurate with the ranking. Therefore, in this case, the participant's personal identification number is not displayed on the participant's rank in the final ranking screen. The broadcast station server 150 converts the final ranking screen received from the quiz server 140 into a broadcast signal and transmits the broadcast signal to the broadcast wave at step S820. The broadcast signal transmitted by the broadcasting station server 150 is transmitted to the reception antenna for the television 110 of the participant. If the number of questions set for one broadcast is not the same as the number of questions presented in step S814, the process returns to step S708 to ask a new problem (S822).

In the above description of the progress of a general quiz broadcasting program, as another embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to proceed with a broadcast program that questions educational problems for elementary school students, middle school students, and high school students. Here, in the embodiment of the present invention, the quiz is used not only as a simple quiz that is generally used, but also as a question having a format of a general multiple choice question belonging to various categories for education.

Therefore, as another embodiment of the present invention, a broadcast program may be progressed in such a manner that a question for an educational problem is given to students participating in the educational problem broadcasting program, and the scores and the total rankings are notified by scoring the answers input by the students.

If the program for broadcasting the educational problem according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail, the system configuration of the embodiment for broadcasting the educational problem is to play the role of the quiz server 140 described in FIG. It is configured in the same manner as the system described in FIG. 1 except that the education company server performs the same.

Referring to the configuration of the system for the educational problem broadcasting with reference to Figures 2 and 3, the education company server, like the quiz server 140, the overall operation and management of the broadcast program, various database management and the generation of the educational problem screen and It functions as a management. The internal configuration of the education company server is almost similar to the internal configuration of the quiz server 140 described in FIG. Therefore, for convenience of description, the name and reference number of the internal configuration of the quiz server 140 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 will be used in the education company server in the same manner. However, since the educational problem broadcasting program according to the present invention is operated under a membership system, the education company server further includes a member authentication unit for member authentication. In addition, the problem provided is that the quiz server 140 is a general quiz, such as current affairs or common sense and the education company server is different from the point that the educational problem for learning of the curriculum.

On the other hand, the problem database unit 310 of the education company server is divided into problems for elementary school students, middle school students and high school students are stored. The problems for elementary school students are divided into grades from first grade to sixth grade, the middle school and high school students are divided into grades from first grade to third grade, and the problems divided for each grade are divided and stored for each subject. In particular, the 3rd grade problem among high school students may be configured in the same format as the problem used in the simulation test of the nationwide college entrance exam.

The statistics database unit 330 of the education company server stores the distribution of the answers selected by the participants, the percentage of correct answers, and the total ranking calculated for each participant for each question. The overall ranking may be provided when broadcasts that need to calculate the ranking are broadcasted, such as content such as mock exams, such as an assignment math test. Therefore, participants of a broadcast program such as a mock test can better understand how much their skills are achieved through not only their grade but also the overall ranking.

Of course, the more the number of participants, the more it is desirable for the overall ranking according to the present invention to be reliable. Therefore, the program for calculating the total seating rate is serviced by discounting a certain amount of the fee charged by the ARS server 130 in order to induce more members to participate or by providing a product to a participant who is in a certain rank. Would be desirable.

In addition, since it is almost impossible to provide the total seating rate for every participant in the test question broadcast program, it may be desirable to announce the total seating rate for each participant on the education company's website or individually notify the participant's e-mail address.

On the other hand, in order to accurately calculate the total seats for each participant can be configured to be unable to participate in the broadcast program after the question is asked. That is, at the same time the first question is asked, the ARS server 140 does not accept a connection request from any phone 100. In addition, the education company server stores the calculated results in the statistical database unit 330 by calculating the distribution of the participants according to the scores and the average scores of the participants in addition to the total rankings for each participant.

In addition, the database unit 220 of the education company server is added to the member database storage for storing the personal information of members, such as information such as the member's name, date of birth, contact address, email address, identification (ID), password, and grade It includes. The method for registering as a member of the educational problem broadcasting program according to the present invention is to enter a user information by accessing a website operated by an educational company that provides educational problems using a writing device or a communication device such as a computer. Or the like.

On the other hand, the progress of the educational problem broadcast program for general learning rather than the test question broadcast program for calculating the order of magnitude is almost the same as the progress of the quiz broadcast program. Therefore, the description of the progress of the educational problem broadcast program will be omitted, and only the progress of the test problem broadcast program for calculating the ranking is described.

When the participant's phone 100 is connected to the ARS server 130, the participant hears the announcements stored in advance in the ARS server 130, and according to the announcements, his / her ID and Enter the password (S902). The education company server performs a member authentication procedure using the member authentication unit (S904). Here, the authentication not only matches the ID and password, but also determines whether or not the grades that the test question broadcast program targets match. In other words, when the test question broadcast program is a simulated test of the college entrance exam for high school third graders, students of other grades, such as first year high school students or second year high school students, cannot participate in the test question broadcast program. This certification process is necessary to accurately calculate the test result information such as the overall ranking. If member authentication is not performed normally, the flow returns to step S902 to input information for member authentication again. Members whose membership authentication is normally performed are registered as participants in the participant database unit 300 (S906).

The education company server extracts the problem stored in the problem database unit 310, and then generates a problem screen and transmits the generated problem screen to the broadcasting station server 150 (S908). The broadcast station server 150 transmits the problem screen received from the education company server through broadcast radio waves (S910). On the other hand, the process after the first problem is transmitted to the broadcast wave in the test problem broadcast program according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

That is, it is preferable to set the correct answer input time for a difficult problem longer than for an easy problem. The correct answer number input through the phone 100 is transmitted to the education company server (S916).

On the other hand, the education company server determines whether the correct answer for each participant by using the correct answer number received from the phone 100, and stores the result in the participant database unit 300 (S918). The education company server calculates a score for each participant using the result of whether each participant has corrected the answer, and stores the calculated score in the score database 320 (S920). Then, the education company server compares the number of questions set for one-time broadcasting and the number of questions asked (S922), if the set number of questions and the number of questions asked are the same, the test questions are ended, and the score database unit 320 Using the stored scores to calculate the total ranking, the average score of all participants and the distribution of participants by score band (S924). Here, the process from step S912 to step S922 is the same as the process of omitting step S806 and step S808 in the process from step S800 to step S814 of FIG. 8.

The education company server generates an entire screen and a distribution screen of the participants by the scores and the average points of all participants for each subject and transmits them to the broadcasting station server 150 (S926). The broadcast station server 150 transmits the screen received from the education company server through broadcast radio waves (S928).
