There is no need to change or store tapes. Furthermore, in the present invention, since the video and audio of the test room 4 are also recorded on the monitoring center 5 side, these can be stored as data. Note that the video and audio recorded in the server unit 44 of the test room 4 can be deleted by sending a deletion command to the server unit 44 from the monitoring monitor controller 52 of the monitoring center 5.

Next, the scoring process (step 206) will be described. When the examinee presses the area of the touch panel display where “Start / End” is displayed, or when the measurement time reaches a predetermined time limit,
The display of the test questions is terminated, and a message notifying that the test is completed is displayed on the screen of the touch panel display. Then, the test terminal device 14 sends the test number or the seat number, the test question number of each test question, and the corresponding answer data to the center server device 16 via the LAN 18.

The center server device 16 is used for the test terminal device 1
When the test question number and the answer data are received from No. 4, the database of the storage device 160 is searched based on the test question number, and the correct answer data corresponding to the test question number is extracted. Then, the center server device 16 collates the correct answer data and the answer data corresponding to the same test question number and scores them. The center server device 16 performs such a scoring process for each test question. After completing the scoring process for all the test questions given to the examinee, the center server device 16 determines that the pass is successful if the scoring result (point) has reached a passing reference point preset for each test type. If the scoring result does not reach the passing reference point, it is determined to be rejected.

Subsequently, the center server device 16 searches the database of the storage device 160 based on the test number or seat number received from the test terminal device 14 and stores the test date in the testee data of the relevant test number or seat number. , A test room number, answer data for each test question, a scoring result, and a pass / fail judgment result, and these data are registered in a database. Then, immediately after the grading process is completed and the data is registered in the database, the center server device 16
The examinee's examinee number and the corresponding pass / fail judgment result are represented by L
The result is transmitted to the test result presentation device 15 via the AN 18.

The test result presentation device 15 displays an examination number whose pass / fail judgment result indicates a pass. The examinee who has left the test room knows whether he / she has passed by looking at the test result presentation device 15 installed in the presentation booth. Depending on the type of test, there may be cases where the pass / fail judgment is not performed. In such a case, the scoring result may be sent from the center server device 16 to the test result announcing device 15, and the scoring result may be displayed on the test result announcing device 15. Alternatively, the examinee data may be sent to the test result presentation device 15 instead of the examination number, and the examinee name may be displayed on the test result presentation device 15.

The above description of the operation is for the case where the test is performed only at the first test site 1, but the test may be performed at a plurality of test sites. For example, when conducting a driving license subject test at a prefectural police first test site 1 and a driving school second test site 2 commissioned by the prefectural police, test question data is output from the center server device 16 of the first test site 1 to the router 17. Is transmitted from the router 17 to the second test site 2 via the network 3.

The router 27 of the second test site 2 passes the received test question data to the remote server device 26, and the remote server device 26 stores the test question data in the storage device 26.
0 is registered in the database. The reception process, the photographing process, the entry process, the process at the time of the test, and the scoring process in the second test site 2 are performed in the first test site 1 except that the remote server device 26 performs the process instead of the center server device 16. Is exactly the same as In addition, remote monitoring of the test status of each test room in the second test site 2 by the remote monitoring device is the same as described above. At this time, if the test room and the monitoring center are connected by using the network 3 which is an external line network, each test room of the first and second test sites 1 and 2 can be remotely monitored by one monitoring center 5. .

After the scoring process, the remote server device 26 of the second test site 2 sends the test date, the test room number, the seat number, the examinee data, the answer data for each test question, the scoring result, and the pass / fail judgment result to the router 27. Then, the router 27 sends the data to the first test site 1 via the network 3. The router 17 of the first test site 1 passes the received data to the center server device 16 and the center server device 2
6 registers this data in the database of the storage device 160.

Each device in each of the test sites 1 and 2 is backed up by an uninterruptible power supply (not shown), and switches to private power generation by the uninterruptible power supply when a power failure occurs. As a result, a system configuration that is less susceptible to power supply changes can be provided.

According to the present invention, the test questions are digitized and stored in the storage device in advance, and the test terminal device assigned to each examinee displays the question data to the examinee, and the test data is stored in the question data. In response to this, the answer data input by the examinee is transmitted to the center server device, and the center server device compares the answer data received from the test terminal device with the correct answer data to calculate the score of the examinee, thereby obtaining the examinee's score. Grading can be performed automatically and instantaneously, and the labor of the grader can be reduced. As a result, the number of scorers can be reduced, and the time from when the test is performed to when the test result is notified to the examinee can be shortened. In addition, since the center server device arbitrarily selects question data to be given to the examinee from the question data stored in the storage device for each examinee, the examinee sees the answer of another examinee. It can make it difficult to act.

In addition, by remotely monitoring the status of the test room using the video signal from the camera installed in the test room and the audio signal from the microphone installed in the test room, illegal behavior of the examinee can be prevented. Can be prevented and the number of examiners who attend the exam can be reduced.

Since a speaker for outputting a warning message from the monitoring monitor controller by voice is installed in the test room, a warning message for giving a warning to the examinee is output from the speaker. You can stop it.

In addition, by installing the reception terminal device at the reception of the test site, the reception process can be digitized, and the test taker can easily receive the test at any time. This will reduce the number of receptionists at the test site.

Further, by installing the gate terminal device at the entrance of the test room, the examinee can enter the test room at any time to take the test.

The test terminal device requests the center server to start the test when the test taker seated according to the seat number requests the test start, so that the test starter can start the test from a desired time. it can.

The reception terminal device issues a recording medium, such as an IC card, on which the examination number and the examinee data are recorded to the examinee, and the gate terminal device records the examination medium of the examinee entering the test room. By reading the examinee number or examinee data from and transmitting it to the server device, the examinee does not need to memorize his / her own examinee number.

Further, the center server device scores the test result by transmitting the examinee's examinee number or the examinee's name in the examinee data and the test result of the examinee to the test result presentation device immediately after the scoring. They can be announced immediately.

Also, by providing a test terminal device and a remote server device connected to the center server device via a network in a second test site different from the test site, question data and correct answer data can be transmitted from the center server device.
