The curriculum storage area stores a curriculum list D1 as shown in FIG. The curriculum list D1 stores a curriculum divided into a plurality of subjects, and stores “capacity” for each “subject”. The curriculum list D1 in the figure stores a curriculum for conducting classes in each language, and "subjects" include English (beginner to advanced), Japanese (beginner to advanced), and the like. Of course, there are various curriculum subjects that can be adopted, and English lessons are given in 10
As long as the setting is to be performed consecutively, English (first time), English (second time), ..., Each time may be different subjects. Further, the configuration in which the "capacity" is provided is merely an example, and a list of only "subjects" may be used as a curriculum list.

The subject storage area stores a subject list D2, as shown in FIG. In the subject list D2, "user identification data", "name", "registration", "subject",
The data is stored by being divided into "time zone" and "input date and time" items. The subject list D2 is provided for each date. "User identification data" is the educational system 1
00 is different data for each user and is given to the user in this education program P. This user identification data is used to identify the subject and is not made known to other subjects.
In the present embodiment, the user identification data is used as information for identifying the subject when the data is sent from the PC 30 to the server 20, and the user identification data is also identified for the subject when handing over various data to another process. It is used as information. The “name” can be input by the user using the keyboard 37a of the PC 30 or the like, and may be a real name, a pen name, a design, or the like. Therefore, different entities may use the same name.
"Registration" includes "Teacher" when the subject is the teacher.
If the student is selected, "student" is stored. In the present invention, the subject may be a teacher and a student at the same time. May be. Also, it is possible to have multiple teachers and multiple students at the same time. The “subject” stores a subject operated by a teacher and wants to take a lesson, or a subject operated by a student who wants to take a lesson. Further, the "time zone" stores the time zone in which the teacher inputs a lesson, or the time zone in which the student inputs a lesson. Although the start time and the end time are stored in the “time zone” in the figure, the date may be stored at the same time. The "input date and time" stores the date and time when the registration was performed.

The question storage area stores question answer data D3, as shown in FIG. The question / answer data D3 is provided for each subject, and the question / answer data D3 in the figure is an example of data relating to a question and an answer corresponding to English (beginner). The question answer data D3 has a plurality of questions,
Each question includes a question sentence D31, a plurality of options D32, and an answer D33. The option D32 is numbered, and the answer D33 is stored with the number. In addition, the subject uses the keyboard 37a to ask questions and answers.

Although not shown, the character storage area stores characters related to the question corresponding to each question in the question answer data D3. The character has a pattern for expressing the subject and a pattern for expressing the object in question. The subject can input an operation to move the character, and can issue and answer a question through the motion of the character.

The point information storage area stores a point list D4 as shown in FIG. In the point list D4, data is stored by being divided into items of "user identification data", "name", "points", and "total points". The data included in the subject list D2 is stored in “user identification data” and “name”. In the present embodiment, points are given to all the subjects, and points etc. are stored in the point list D4 corresponding to all the subjects. "point"
The point of the subject is stored in. When the subject uses the education system 100 for the first time, predetermined points (for example, 5000 points) are given, and the point information storage function P6 adds the points to the point list D4 in association with the user identification data and the name. It is like this. The initial points may be paid by paying cash to the administrator of the education system 100 when using the education system 100 for the first time. The “total points” stores the total of evaluation points obtained in a predetermined period. In this embodiment, the evaluation points obtained in one month are “total points”
It is assumed that 0 is stored in the "total points" by a flow not shown when the month changes.
The "points" and "total points" are displayed together with the "name" on the PC 30 as a so-called ranking.

As shown in FIG. 10, the business card storage area stores a business card list D5. In the business card list D5,
Data is stored by being divided into items such as "user identification data", "name", "mail address", "phone number", "address", and the like. Then, data is stored in the business card list D5 in correspondence with all the subjects. The data stored in the business card list D5 is the content of the operation input from the subject, and if the telephone number or the like is not desired to be known to other subjects, the corresponding data may not be stored. The acquired business card storage area stores an acquired business card list D6 as shown in FIG. In the acquired business card list D6, data is stored by being divided into items of "user identification data", "name", and "acquired business card". The acquired business card list D6 also stores data corresponding to all the subjects. The “acquired business card” stores user identification data corresponding to another subject who received the business card. The various storage areas described above are provided in the hard disk 25 for the purpose of storing various data D1 to D6 and the like for convenience. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a hard disk for each storage area. Further, the structure of the various data D1 to D6 is merely an example, and the management of the data D1 to D6 separately is only an example. For example, instead of the problem answer data D3, the question data and the answer data may be managed separately, or the subject list D2 and the point list D4 may be managed together.

(4) Outline of the operation of the educational program: FIG.
2 is an educational program P that realizes the various functions described above.
4 is a flowchart showing the overall structure of the processing by. When an operation input for starting the execution of the education program P is made with the mouse 37b or the like, the education system 100 first
Information input processing is performed by a user's operation input (step S105), and the PC 30 on which the operation input is performed is performed as shown in FIG.
The menu screen shown in FIG. 3 is displayed (step S11).
0). After that, the button 41a displayed on the menu screen
Processing corresponding to a click operation (hereinafter, referred to as a click) with the mouse 37b of 41d is performed.

In step S115, it is determined whether the teacher / student registration button 41a has been clicked. If the teacher / student registration button 41a is clicked, subject acquisition processing for registering as a teacher or a student is performed (step S120), and if the button 41a is not clicked, the process proceeds to step S125. In step S125, it is determined whether the question / answer output button 41b has been clicked. When the question / answer output button 41b is clicked, a question / answer output process for outputting a question or an answer is performed (step S130). Then, a point output process for displaying own points and the ranking of points is performed (step S135), and the process proceeds to step S145. On the other hand, if the button 41b is not clicked in step S125, it is determined whether or not the point output button 41c is clicked (step S140). When the point output button 41c is clicked, the point output process of step S135 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S145. Same button 41c
If is not clicked, the process proceeds to step S145 without performing step S135. In step S145, it is determined whether or not the end button 41d has been clicked, and if the end button 41d has been clicked, this flow ends. If the button 41d is not clicked, the processes of steps S110 to S145 are repeated.

(5) Operation of information input process: The process of each step will be described in detail below by appropriately showing examples of display screens and the like. In addition, in some of the flows, display screen examples are described in the flows. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the information input process of step S105. In this flow,
User registration when using the education system 100 for the first time, registration of a business card, and correction of the content of the business card are performed. First, a user registration screen (not shown) is displayed on the display 38a of the PC 30 on which the operation input is performed (step S202). More specifically, the server 20
Outputs data of a predetermined user registration screen stored in the hard disk 25 to the PC 30 via the Internet network 10 in response to a start request from the PC 30 to which the operation input is made, and the PC 30 executes the same process by a browser, for example. The user registration screen will be displayed on the display 38a. Hereinafter, the process of inputting / outputting data between the server 20 and the PC 30 is repeatedly performed via the Internet network 10, but the description of the input / output process will be omitted.

Next, it is determined whether or not user registration is performed (step S204). A user registration button is provided on the user registration screen. When the user registration button is clicked, the process proceeds to step S206 to perform a predetermined user registration process. In step S206, different user identification data is given to each user. This user identification data is used for various data processing, but is not notified to other users. Then, step S2
The process proceeds to step 10 to perform a process of operating and inputting information related to a business card. The user registration screen displayed in step S202 is provided with an input field for operating and inputting a user name and user identification data. If the user name and user identification data are correctly operated and input, the user must register in step S204. It is determined and the process proceeds to step S208. Step S208
Then, after displaying a message asking whether to correct the business card stored in the business card storage area, it is determined whether or not to correct the business card according to the operation input. If the business card is to be corrected, the process proceeds to step S210. If it is not to be corrected, this flow ends.

In step S210, the business card list D5 stored in the business card storage area is read, the data corresponding to the user is searched based on the user identification data, and the business card input screen as shown in the flow is displayed. To do. The same screen is provided with a name input field, a mail address input field, a telephone number input field, an address input field, a qualification input field, and the like. Although not shown, an input field for setting whether the business card is written vertically or horizontally and an input field for setting the color and pattern of the business card are also provided. It should be noted that input fields corresponding to these items may be provided on the business card input screen, including hobbies and special skills acquired as information regarding business cards. In the name input field, a real name or a nickname may be input. For items for which information is desired to be disclosed, the input fields can be left blank. In this case, when the present flow is performed again, it is possible to input the information regarding the business card in the input field that is left blank in step S210.

After that, a business card is displayed based on the contents input in the input field (step S212). An example thereof is shown in FIG. Next, it is determined whether or not to store the business card of the display content (step S214). The determination process of step S214 can be performed depending on whether the OK button or the cancel button is displayed and the OK button is clicked or the cancel button is clicked, for example. If the condition is satisfied, the business card list D5 is created by associating various information input on the business card input screen with the user identification data.
Stored in the business card storage area (step S21
6) and this flow ends. On the other hand, when the condition is not satisfied, the processes of steps S210 to S214 are performed again, and the process of correcting the information regarding the business card is performed. As described above, the processing of steps S210 to S216 causes the computer to implement the business card storage function P9 that receives an operation input for a business card from the subject and stores the business card.

(6) Operation of subject acquisition process: When the information input process is completed, the menu display screen is displayed and the button 41 is pressed.
The click operation of a to 41d is accepted. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the subject acquisition process of step S120 executed when the teacher / student registration button 41a is clicked. First, the curriculum list D1 stored in the curriculum storage area is acquired (step S252), and the contents are displayed as the curriculum on the display 38a of the PC 30 on which the information input processing has been performed (step S254). Then, the same display 38
In a, almost the same format as the curriculum list D1 shown in FIG. 6, that is, the curriculum in which the subjects and the number of students correspond to each other is displayed. Thus, steps S252 to S254 realize the curriculum output function P2 for outputting the curriculum of education from the curriculum storage area. The process from step S256 is a subject acquisition function P1 that receives a setting input of a teacher or a student from the subject and acquires whether the subject is a teacher or a student.
Is realized by a computer. Step S2
At 56, a teacher / student selection field is displayed. As shown in the flow, "Become a teacher" in the teacher / student selection field,
Either "become a student" or "end" can be selected with the mouse 37b. In step S258, the process branches depending on the selection input.

When "Become a teacher" is selected and input in the teacher / student selection field, the flow advances to step S260 to accept and acquire the selection input of the subject for which the lesson is to be conducted. This selection input can be made by clicking on the course in the curriculum displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, the time zone input screen in which the time zone input field 42a is provided is displayed, and the operation input of the time zone in which the lesson is desired is accepted and acquired (step S262). Time zone input field 4
In 2a, the keyboard 37a can be used for operation input in the date input field 42b, and the mouse 37b can be used for time input field 42c.
The time zone can be selected. In the example in the figure, the selection input is made from the time zone divided every hour,
The time zone may be input more finely. After that, in association with the user identification data, the name of the business card list D5, "teacher", the subject and time zone input by operation, and the date and time measured by the timer circuit 27 are stored in the subject list D2 of the corresponding date. Then, the subject and time zone are stored in the subject storage area for each subject list D2 (step S26).
4). Then, the processes of steps S252 to S258 are performed again, and the process is branched according to the selection input to the teacher / student selection field. That is, the processing of steps S260 to S264 realizes the first time zone acquisition function of storing the subject to be taught and the time zone to be taught by accepting an operation input from the first subject who wants to be a teacher. .

On the other hand, when "Become a student" is selected and input in the teacher / student selection field, the flow advances to step S266 to determine whether to search for a teacher. This process can be performed, for example, by displaying a selection field (not shown) instructing whether or not to search the teacher and branching the process in response to the selection input by the mouse 37b. When searching for a teacher, the teacher search process of step S268 is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S270. If the teacher is not searched, the teacher search process is not performed and the process proceeds to step S270.

FIG. 18 is a flow chart showing the teacher search processing performed in step S268. First,
The acquired business card list D6 is acquired from the acquired business card storage area (step S302), and the business card corresponding to the subject who is about to be registered as a student is acquired from the business card list D5 in the business card storage area (step S304). More specifically, since the user identification data corresponding to the subject is sent from the PC 30 operated by the user, once the data corresponding to this user identification data is acquired, the acquired business card list D6 shown in FIG. Perform the process to get from. Then, since the user identification data corresponding to the acquired business card is stored in the same data, the processing for acquiring the data related to the business card corresponding to the same user identification data from the business card list D5 is performed.

Next, the obtained business cards are displayed in a list in the same format as the business cards shown in FIG. 15 (step S30).
6) The selection input of the displayed business card is received and acquired by receiving an operation of clicking the displayed business card (step S308). Further, the subject list D2 is obtained from the subject storage area, and data corresponding to the subject of the business card selected from the subject list D2 and registered as a teacher is obtained (step S310). And
It is determined whether data has been acquired (step S31).
2). When the data is acquired, the acquired data, which is the search result, is displayed in a list (step S314), and the process proceeds to step S318. On the other hand, when the data is not acquired, the fact that the teacher is not registered is displayed as a search result (step S316), and the process proceeds to step S318.

In step S318, it is determined whether or not the process of searching for a teacher is completed. The determination process of step S318 can be performed in response to a button operation by displaying an OK button or a cancel button, for example. If the condition is satisfied, this flow is ended, and if the condition is not satisfied, the processes of steps S302 to S318 are performed again to perform the process of searching for a teacher. For example, the user identification data “bbb
When the subject of “b” searches for a teacher, FIG. 7, FIG. 10, FIG.
In the first example, in step S304, the data D of the acquired business card list D6 corresponding to the user identification data “bbbb”
Data D51, D relating to a business card whose user identification data is the acquired business card “aaa, eeee, ...” 61
52 is acquired from the business card list D5. Here, when the subject of the user identification data “aaa” is selected and input as the teacher to be searched, the data D21 corresponding to the subject “English (Beginner)” in the subject list D2 is the user identification data “a”.
Since it corresponds to the subject “aaa” and the registration is “teacher”, the data D21 is acquired from the subject list D2 and the content of the data D21 is displayed in step S314.

That is, the subject who is the student can retrieve the teacher of the acquired business card, which is convenient. If the subject who wants to take classes is not registered with the teacher, it is possible to contact them separately via the email address included in the teacher's business card and ask them to become the teacher. As described above, the processing of steps S302 to S318 receives selection input of a business card stored for each student from the subject identified as a student, and searches for a subject corresponding to the selected and input business card as a teacher. Then, the teacher search function P11 for outputting the search result is realized.

When the teacher search processing is completed, in step S270 of FIG. 16, the selection input of the subject to take the lesson is accepted and acquired. This selection input can also be performed by clicking the subject in the curriculum displayed in the same manner as in step S260. Then, the same time zone input field as that of FIG. 17 is displayed, and the operation input of the time zone in which the user wants to take the lesson is accepted and acquired (step S272).
Then, in association with the user identification data, the business card list D
The name 5, the "student", the operation input subject and time zone, the date and time measured by the timer circuit 27 are stored in the subject list D2 of the corresponding date, and the subject and the time zone are subject to each subject list D2. The data is stored in the storage area (step S274). Then, the processes of steps S252 to S258 are performed again. That is, the processing of steps S266 to S274 realizes the second time zone acquisition function of storing the subject to be taught and the time zone to be taken by accepting an operation input from the second subject who wants to be a student. . It should be noted that, when "End" is selected and input while the teacher / student selection field is displayed in step S256, this flow ends.

(7) Operation of question answer output process: When the subject acquisition process is completed, the menu display screen is displayed and the click operation of the buttons 41a to 41d is accepted again.
When the question / answer output button 41b is clicked, the condition is satisfied in step S125 of FIG. 12, and the question answer output process of step S130 is performed. FIG. 19 shows
This problem solution output process is shown by a flowchart. This flow outputs a question or an answer and performs processing such as changing the points possessed by the subject. First, the subject and the time zone are selected and input from the subject, and the subject and the time zone are acquired (step S402). This process can be performed, for example, by acquiring data corresponding to the user identification data of the subject from the subject list D2, displaying the list, and receiving a click operation on the displayed subject.

Next, it is determined whether or not there is a class partner in the same subject and time zone (step S404). Various processes are possible to make this determination. For example, when the subject corresponding to the subject and time zone selected and input in step S402 in the subject list D2 is only one of "teacher" and "student", there is no lesson partner and the condition is not satisfied. . In addition, when the subjects and time zones registered as "teachers" are selected and input, and there are fewer "students" than "teachers" in the same subjects and time zones, the lessons are listed in the order of earlier input date and time on the subject list D2. The other party is assigned. And when I became a "teacher" without a classmate,
The condition is not met. Furthermore, when the subject and time zone registered as “student” are selected and input, the curriculum list D is displayed in “student” rather than the number of “teachers” in the same subject and time zone.
In some cases, the number multiplied by the capacity of 1 may be larger. At this time, the condition is not satisfied if the student is a student who has no other party. In the example of FIG. 7, the subject of the user identification data “aaa” is the subject “English (Beginner)” and the time zone is “10: 00-1”.
When "1:00" is selected and input, since the registration is "teacher", data D22 and D23 whose subject and time zone are the same and registration is "student" are searched from the subject list D2. Here, since the “English (beginner)” capacity is “4 persons” according to the curriculum list D1, the condition is satisfied.

If the condition is not satisfied in step S404, the lesson is not realized, so that it is displayed that there is no lesson partner (step S406), and this flow ends. On the other hand, when the conditions are satisfied, the lesson partner is determined by the above-described procedure, the subject is acquired as the teacher or the student, and the lesson partner is displayed from the PC 30 through which the acquired teacher and the student input operation (step S408). . That is, step S402-
The process of S408 is a subject acquisition function that obtains the first subject who wants to be a teacher as a teacher and the second subject who wants to be a student as a student when the subject stored in the subject storage area matches the time zone. Realize P1. And teachers and students can meet through the curriculum.

After that, the processing is branched depending on whether the subject who selected and input the subject and the time zone is a teacher or a student (step S410). In the case of a teacher, a question output process (step S412), a business card acquisition process (step S414), and a point change process (step S41) described later.
6) is sequentially performed, and this flow is ended. On the other hand, in the case of a student, answer output processing (step S418) described later,
The business card acquisition process (step S420) and the point change process (step S422) are sequentially performed, and the present flow ends. That is, the processes of steps S412 to S416 are processes performed for the teacher, and steps SS418 to
The process of S422 is a process performed on the student. In addition, step S4 for a plurality of subjects who have become lessons
12-S416 processing and steps SS418-S422
The processing is performed in parallel by multitasking.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the question output process performed in step S412, and FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the answer output process performed in step S418. These flows are performed in parallel. In the question output process, first, the question output format selection screen is displayed on the PC 30 used by the teacher (hereinafter referred to as the teacher's PC), and the selection input of the question output format is accepted and acquired (step S502). On the question output format selection screen, as shown in the flow, "question sentence input" and "question selection" are displayed, and either of these can be selected and input by the mouse 37b. In addition, when "question selection" is selected and input, "output as it is", "output with only 2 options", "use character",
And the like can be selected and input. A transmission button is also provided on the question output format selection screen, and when the transmission button is clicked, the output format selected and input is passed to the answer output processing performed for the student (step S50).
4). In the answer output process, the same output format is displayed as a question output format display screen on the PC 30 used by the student (hereinafter referred to as the student's PC) (step S552). For example, when "Output to 2 choices" of "Question selection" is selected and input on the question output format selection screen on the teacher side, "Limit questions to 2 choices" on the question output format display screen on the student side is selected. Will be output. ”Is displayed. The question output format display screen is provided with an OK button, and the question output format display screen is continuously displayed until the OK button is clicked (step S554).

Thus, although the teacher has the right to decide the output format of the question, the student may have a desire for the output format of the question. In addition, teachers may also want to provide education by incorporating the wishes of students. Therefore, a chat button is provided on the question output format selection screen and the question output format display screen, so that a chat field (not shown) can be displayed on the teacher's and student's PCs to separately exchange conversations.
When the OK button is clicked on the student's PC, the condition is satisfied in step S554, the answer output process is performed for each question output format (step S556), and the present flow ends. On the other hand, in the question output process, the click operation of the OK button is read in step S506, and the fact that the OK button is pressed is displayed. Then, it is determined whether or not the output format of the problem is decided (step S508). This determination process can be performed, for example, according to whether the confirmation button is displayed and the confirmation button is clicked.
If not confirmed, steps S502 to S508 are performed again.
Process. To confirm, the problem output format is stored in the hard disk 25 (step S510), and the problem output process is performed for each problem output format (step S51).
2), this flow ends.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the question output format-specific question output processing performed in step S512, and FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the question output format-specific answer output processing performed in step S556.
These flows are performed in parallel when "input question text" is selected on the question output format selection screen. When these processes are performed, the teacher operates and inputs the question sentence, and the student operates and inputs the answer to the question sentence in sentences.

The teacher's PC first displays the initial screen shown in FIG. 24 (step S602). The example in the figure is "A
It is an example of a display screen when two students take a class of "AAA" teacher. In the figure, a question input field 43a for the teacher to input a question sentence, and answer display fields 43b, 43c for displaying the answers from the students are provided side by side. The same answer display column is provided corresponding to the number of students. In addition, at the bottom of the screen, chat field 4
3d is provided. At the bottom of the question input field 43a,
Various buttons 43 such as question text input buttons and chat buttons
e is arranged. On the other hand, the student's PC first displays the initial screen shown in FIG. 25 (step S652).
The example of the figure shows an example of a display screen displayed on the PC of the student with the student name “BBBB”. In the figure, a question display field 44a for displaying a question sentence that the teacher operates and inputs, and an answer input field 44b for the student to operationally input the answer are provided side by side. Here, even if there are a plurality of students, the answers of other students are not displayed. A chat section 44c is also provided at the bottom of the screen. Various buttons 44d such as an answer input button and a chat button are arranged below the answer input field 44b.

Here, if the chat button displayed on both screens is clicked, operation input to the chat fields 43d and 44c becomes possible. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the chat output processing executed when the chat button is clicked. Note that this flow allows operation input to the chat field on the PC of the subject who clicks the chat button. When the question output process and the answer output process for each question output format are being performed, the chat button continues to be displayed, so that it can be executed during that time. In the figure, first, the chat end button is displayed in the chat field of the PC of the subject who clicked the chat button (step S702), and the operation input of the conversation is accepted and acquired from the subject (step S704). next,
The acquired conversation is displayed on the PC of the subject participating in the class (step S706). Then, the conversation is displayed on the PCs of all teachers and students participating in the class, and the conversation contents can be shared. That is, it is convenient because the teacher and the student can have a direct conversation. Then, it is determined whether or not to end the chat depending on whether or not the chat end button is clicked (step S
708). When the chat is not ended, the processing of steps S704 to S708 is performed again, and when the chat is ended, the chat end button is erased from the screen and the present flow ends. As described above, the chat output process realizes the conversation output function P8 that receives the operation input regarding the conversation from the subject who is the teacher and the student and outputs the operation input conversation to the subject who is the teacher and the student. To be done.

After the initial screen is displayed in step S602, the determination process of step S604 is repeated until the question sentence input button is clicked on the teacher's PC. When the question sentence input button is clicked, the question sentence input button is erased and a send button is displayed in the question input field 43a (step S
606), the operation input for the question sentence corresponding to the curriculum subject is accepted in the question input field 43a (step S608). Next, it is determined whether or not the send button has been clicked (step S610), and when it has not been clicked, the process returns to step S608 to continuously accept the operation input of the question sentence. When the send button is clicked, the question sentence for which the operation input has been accepted is delivered to the answer output process (step S612). At this time, the question text that has been input by operation is in a state of being displayed in the question input field 43a. In the answer output process, the question sentence is obtained and displayed in the question display field 44a on the student's PC (step S654).
That is, the question that the operation input from the teacher is received is output to the student. Note that step S654
Then, the process of reading the time when the question sentence is displayed from the timer circuit 27 and storing it in the hard disk 25 is also performed. Next, step S6 until the answer input button is clicked.
The determination process of 56 is repeated. When the answer input button is clicked, the answer input button is erased and the send button is displayed (step S658), and the operation input of the answer sentence is accepted in the answer input field 44b (step S660). Then, it is determined whether or not the send button has been clicked (step S662), and if not clicked, the process returns to step S660 to continuously accept the operation input of the answer. When the send button is clicked, the answer that received the operation input is delivered to the question output process, and the time when the answer is delivered is read from the timer circuit 27 and stored in the hard disk 25 (step S664). The time when the answer is handed over corresponds to the time when the answer to the question is output.

In the question output process, the answer from the student is obtained and displayed in the answer display column corresponding to the student who answered on the teacher's PC (step S614). That is, the answer to the operation input from the student is output to the teacher. In step S614, the process of displaying the hint input button and the next button in the question input field 43a is also performed. Next, the process branches depending on the type of button clicked (step S616). When the hint input button is clicked, hint output processing described later is performed (step S618), and the process returns to step S614 to wait for an answer from the student. On the other hand, when the next button is clicked, it is determined whether the time measured by the timer circuit 27 has reached the end time of the time zone stored in the subject list D2 (step S620). If the end time has not come, the question sentence input button is displayed again in the question input field 43a (step S622), and the processes of steps S604 to S620 are performed. When the end time comes, a message that the lesson time is over is created and displayed on the teacher's PC (step S624).
This flow ends.

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the hint output processing performed in step S618. In this flow, the operation input of the hint corresponding to the problem is received from the teacher, and the operation input hint is output to the student. In the figure, first, a send button is displayed in the question input field 43a of the teacher's PC who has clicked the hint input button (step S752), and a hint operation input from the teacher is received and acquired (step S754).
Next, it is determined whether or not the send button has been clicked (step S756), and a hint operation input is accepted in step S754 until the send button is clicked. When the send button is clicked, the acquired hint is passed to the answer output process (step S758), and this flow ends. On the other hand, in the answer output process, step S6
At 66, read the click operation of the button by the teacher,
Determine if the hint input button was clicked. If the condition is satisfied, the hint from the teacher input from the question output process is displayed on the student's PC, and the answer input button is displayed again in the answer input field 44b (step S668). After that, the process returns to step S656, and the process of accepting the operation input of the answer and delivering it is performed. In this way, since the teacher can give a hint to the student, the education system 100 is convenient.

If it is determined in step S666 that the next button is clicked, the condition is not satisfied, and step S666 is executed.
Proceed to 670 to determine whether the class time is over (step S670). If it is determined that the end time is reached in step S620, the condition is satisfied, and step S6 is performed.
The end of the lesson time created in 24 is displayed on the student's PC (step S674), and this flow ends. on the other hand,
When the class time is not over, the answer input button is displayed again in the answer input field 44b (step S672), and the processes of steps S654 to S670 are performed.

As described above, the question output processing shown in FIG. 22 cooperates with a part of the answer output processing to accept an operation input for a question from the teacher and to give the question to the student according to the operation input. To output the problem output function. In addition, the answer output process shown in FIG. 23 cooperates with a part of the question output process to accept an operation input for an answer to a question from a student and output an answer to a teacher in response to the operation input. Realize the function. In other words, the question output process and the answer output process are educational information output that receives an operation input about a question and an answer to the question from the subject and outputs educational information about the question and the answer to the subject according to the operation input. The function P3 is realized. Here, since the subject can be selected to be a teacher or a student, it becomes possible for a plurality of subjects to smoothly carry out and receive education.

The question output processing and the answer output processing for each question output format by the educational information output function P3 can be performed by various flows. FIG. 28 shows the step S51.
FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing another problem output format-specific problem output process performed in step 2, and FIG. 29 shows step S556.
The answer output processing according to another question output format performed in (3) is shown by a flowchart. It should be noted that description of some processes such as determination of button click operation and button display is omitted. These flows are carried out in parallel when the "output limited to 2 options" of "question selection" is selected on the question output format selection screen. In addition, since these flows perform processing for allowing the student to select an option, processing for displaying whether or not the option selected by the student is the correct answer is also performed.

On the teacher's PC, first, an initial screen similar to that shown in FIG. 24 is displayed (step S802). Here, a question input button, a chat button, etc. are displayed at the bottom of the question input field. On the other hand, the student's PC displays an initial screen similar to that shown in FIG. 25 (step S8).
52). At the bottom of the answer input field, answer input buttons, chat buttons, etc. are displayed. Problem output process step S
Although the description in the flow is omitted after the initial screen is displayed in 802, when the question input button is clicked, the question input button is erased and a send button is displayed in the question input field. The selection input of the question is accepted (step S804). More specifically using FIG. 8,
Question answer data D corresponding to the lesson subject from the question memory area
3 is obtained, a list of question sentences D31 of the same answer data D3 is displayed, an operation input for clicking the question sentence D31 is accepted, and one of the question sentences D31 is obtained.

After that, the option D32 corresponding to the question sentence D31 obtained from the question answer data D3 is obtained, and FIG.
In the question display screen 45 shown in, question sentence D31 and option D3
2 is displayed and the setting input for narrowing down the options is accepted (step S806). Of course, the answer D33 is not displayed on the question display screen. A check box 45b corresponding to the option (five limbs in the figure) is provided in the option display field 45a displaying a list of options, and the teacher uses the mouse 37b to check a predetermined number of check boxes 45b (two locations in the figure). ) And click the OK button 45c provided at the bottom of the screen to narrow down the options. In this embodiment, the operation of narrowing down the five-choice question to the two-choice question is performed. Step S
After the end of 806, the narrowed down options are delivered to the answer output process together with the question sentence (step S808). At this time,
The questions including the narrowed down options are displayed in the question input field.

In the answer output process, the question is acquired and the answer selection column 46 shown in FIG. 31 is displayed in the question display column 44a of the student's PC.
And the time when the problem is displayed is stored (step S854). Then, the operation input of the narrowed down options is accepted (step S856). In the answer selection column 46, two narrowed down options are displayed and an item “I don't understand” is also displayed.
A serial number 46a and a radio button 46b are provided corresponding to the narrowed down options and "I don't understand", and any of these radio buttons 46b can be selected with the mouse 37b. Therefore, when the teacher thinks that he / she cannot select the correct answer from the narrowed down choices, such as when the teacher deletes the correct answer when narrowing down the choices, the student may select "I don't know." It is possible. After that, when the send button displayed at the bottom of the question display field 44a is clicked, the answer for which the selection input is accepted is delivered to the question output process, and
The time when the answer is delivered, that is, the time when the answer to the question is output is stored (step S858).

In the question output process, the answer from the student is obtained and displayed in the answer display column corresponding to the student who answered on the teacher's PC (step S810). At that time, a hint input button and a next button are displayed in the question input field. Next, the process is branched depending on the type of button clicked by the teacher (step S812). When the hint input button is clicked, the hint output process shown in FIG. 27 is performed (step S814), and the process returns to step S810 to wait for the answer from the student. On the other hand, when the next button is clicked, the answer determination result is output in the answer output process, and this determination result is displayed (step S81).
6) It is determined whether or not a predetermined number of questions (for example, 20 questions) has been reached (step S818). If the number of questions has not been reached, the question input button is displayed again in the question input field, and the process returns to step S804. When the number of questions has reached a predetermined number, the fact that the questions have been completed is created and displayed on the teacher's PC (step S820), and this flow ends.

On the other hand, in the answer output process, step S86
At 0, the click operation of the button by the teacher is read and it is determined whether or not the hint input button is clicked.
If the condition is satisfied, a process of displaying the hint from the teacher input from the question output process on the student's PC is performed (step S862), and the process returns to step S856. When the teacher clicks the next button, the condition is not satisfied in step S860, the process proceeds to step S864, the selectively input answer is compared with the answer stored in the question answer data D3 in the question storage area, and the determination result is created. Then, it is stored in the hard disk 25 (step S864). In the process of creating the determination result, for example, the number of the answer D33 corresponding to the question selected by the teacher is obtained from the question answer data D3, and the character of the option D32 corresponding to this number is obtained.
This can be done by comparing this character with the character of the option selected and input in step S856. When the characters match, the character data such as "hit" is used as the determination result, and when the characters do not match, the character data such as "disappear" is used as the determination result. After that, the created determination result is displayed on the PC of the corresponding student (step S866). Then, on the same PC, for example, “hit” or “out” is displayed. The determination result is passed to the question output process, and the determination result is displayed on the teacher's PC in step S816. That is, step S864 of the answer output process
The processing from step S866 to step S816 of the question output processing implements the answer determination result output function P4 that determines the comparison between the operation input and the answer stored in the question storage area and outputs the determination result.

After completion of step S866, it is determined whether or not the number of questions has reached a predetermined number (step S868).
When it is determined in step S818 that the number of questions has reached a predetermined number, the condition is satisfied, and the fact that the questions have been created in step S820 is displayed on the student's PC (step S818).
870), and this flow ends. On the other hand, when the number of questions has not reached the predetermined number, the answer input button is displayed again in the answer input field, and the process returns to step S854. In this way, by the processing of the flow shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, the narrowing down of options by the teacher is reflected in the content of the answer of the student, but the determination result is reflected in the point of the teacher as described later. Therefore, the teacher naturally takes the teaching method seriously. Therefore, the enjoyment of getting an education will increase.

As the question output processing and answer output processing for each question output format by the educational information output function P3, FIG.
33 and the processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 33 may be adopted. These flows are performed in parallel when "use character" of "question selection" is selected on the above-mentioned question output format selection screen. First, teacher P
In C, the same initial screen as in FIG. 24 is displayed (step S9).
02), the student's PC displays the same initial screen as in FIG. 25 (step S952). After displaying the initial screen in the question output process, the selection input of the question is accepted in the question input field (step S904). In the example of FIG. 8, the question answer data D3 corresponding to the lesson subject is acquired from the question memory area, the question sentences D31 of the question answer data D3 are displayed in a list, and the click operation is accepted to identify the question in the question answer data D3. Perform the process to acquire either.

Thereafter, the character corresponding to the acquired problem is acquired from the character storage area, the acquired character is displayed, and the selection input of the character is accepted (step S906). FIG. 34 shows a character selection screen 47 for receiving a character selection input. The screen shows a plurality of characters 47 for the selected and input question.
a is displayed, and the teacher can select the character to be used for the problem by clicking the character 47a and then clicking the OK button 47b provided at the bottom of the screen. Although not shown in this flow, a character displaying the subject may be selectively input. After step S906 is completed, a question display screen as shown in FIG. 35 is created from the question sentence and the characters that have been selected and input, and displayed on the teacher's PC (step S).
908). On the screen, together with the question sentence, a character 48a representing the teacher and characters 48b and 48c representing the students.
(In the example of the figure, two persons), various answer characters 48d meaning choices selected and input by the teacher, a chat button 48e, etc. are displayed.

In the answer output process, the question display screen created in step S908 is obtained and displayed on the student's PC, and the time when the question display screen is displayed is stored (step S954). That is, the question display screen shown in FIG. 35 is displayed on the PCs of both the teacher and the student, and the lesson is conducted while sharing the same screen between the teacher and the student. On the student's PC, the chat button 48
An operation end button is also displayed near e. Next, an operation input regarding the motion of the character representing the student is accepted (step S956). This processing can be performed by accepting the drag operation of the character (character 48b or character 48c) corresponding to the student who answers with the mouse 37b. The motion of the character is also passed to the question output process and is displayed on the question display screen 48. When the position of the hand of the character representing the student is aligned with the position of the answer character 48d, the same answer character 48d is acquired as the answer.
Then, it is determined whether or not the operation end button is clicked by the student (step S958). If the condition is not satisfied, the operation input regarding the motion of the repeated character is accepted in step S956. On the other hand, when the condition is satisfied, the selected answer is delivered to the question output process, and the time when the answer is delivered, that is, the time when the answer to the question is output is stored (step S960).

In the question output process, the action of the character representing the student is displayed (step S910), and it is determined whether or not the action is completed (step S912). This judgment process is
This can be done depending on whether any student clicked the end operation button on the screen. If the condition is not satisfied, the process of step S910 is repeated. When the condition is satisfied, the hint input button and the next button are displayed on the question display screen 48, and the processing is branched according to the kind of the button clicked by the teacher (step S914).
When the hint input button is clicked, hint output processing (No. 2) described later is performed (step S91).
6) Return to step S910 to display the motion of the character representing the student. On the other hand, when the next button is clicked, the answer determination result is output in the answer output process, so this determination result is displayed (step S918) and it is determined whether or not the number of questions has reached a predetermined number. Step S
920). If the condition is not satisfied, the process returns to step S904, and if the condition is satisfied, a message that the question is finished is created and displayed on the teacher's PC (step S922), and this flow is ended.

FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing the hint output process (No. 2) performed in step S916. When the hint input button is clicked on the teacher's PC, a send button is first displayed on the question display screen 48 (step S1002), and a hint operation input from the teacher is received and acquired (step S1004). next,
It is determined whether or not the send button has been clicked (step S1006), and a hint operation input is accepted in step S1004 until the send button is clicked. When the send button is clicked, balloon display data is created based on the acquired hint (step S100).
8). This balloon display data is the balloon 4 near the character 48a representing the teacher on the question display screen 48.
This is data to be displayed as 8f. And teacher P
The balloon 48f is displayed at C and the balloon display data is passed to the answer output process (step S101).
0), this flow ends. On the other hand, in the answer output process,
In step S962, the teacher's button click operation is read to determine whether the hint input button has been clicked. If the condition is satisfied, the balloon 48f is displayed on the student's PC based on the balloon display data input from the question output process (step S964), and the process returns to step S956. In this way, when a teacher gives a hint to a student, it can be displayed as if the teacher is speaking the hint on the screen, so that a system with a high degree of realism is constructed.

When the teacher clicks the next button, the condition is not satisfied in step S962, and step S96
In step 6, the same processing as steps S864 to S870 of FIG. 29 is performed. In step S966, the selected answer is compared with the answer stored in the question answer data D3 in the question storage area, a determination result is created, and the hard disk 2
Store in 5. After that, the created determination result is displayed on the PC of the corresponding student (step S968). This determination result is passed to the question output process, and the determination result is displayed on the teacher's PC in step S918. After the end of step S968, it is determined whether or not the number of questions has reached a predetermined number (step S970). Step S above
When it is determined in 920 that the number of questions has reached the predetermined number, the condition is satisfied, the fact that the question created in step S922 is completed is displayed on the student's PC (step S972), and the present flow ends. On the other hand, when the number of questions has not reached the predetermined number, the answer input button is displayed again in the answer input field, and the process returns to step S954.

As described above, the question output process shown in FIG. 32 cooperates with a part of the answer output process to obtain the character corresponding to the same question from the character storage area to the subject identified as the student. To output the problem output function. In addition, the answer output process shown in FIG. 33 cooperates with a part of the question output process to accept an operation input about the motion of the same character, and operate the same character according to the operation input motion to the teacher. The answer output function for outputting to is realized. As a result, problems can be raised and answers can be given through the action of the character, and the enjoyment of teaching can be increased.

Returning to FIG. 19, when the question output process and the answer output process are completed, a business card acquisition process of receiving a business card from the teacher and exchanging a business card with the teacher is performed. FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the student side business card acquisition process, and FIG. 38 is a flowchart showing the teacher side business card acquisition process. In the business card acquisition process on the student side, first, a business card acquisition screen is displayed (step S1102). As in the display screen example described in the flow, in the present embodiment,
"Get a business card,""Business card exchange,""Idon't wear it."
Either of them can be selected and input with the mouse 37b. In step S1104, the process branches depending on the selection input. If "Don't wait" is selected and input, this flow ends without exchanging business cards. If "Give me a business card" is selected and input, I create a message that I want to have a business card and hand it over to the teacher's business card acquisition process (step S1).
106) and proceeds to step S1110. On the other hand, if “business card exchange” is selected and input, a message that the business card is exchanged is created and handed over to the business card acquisition process on the teacher side (step S110).
8) and proceeds to step S1110. Although not shown in the flow, a process of selecting and deleting the acquired teacher's business card may be performed.

In the teacher's business card acquisition process, the process is branched according to the contents selected and input in step S1104 (step S1152). When "Waiting" is selected and input, this flow ends. When "Give me a business card" is selected and input, a message that I want the input business card is displayed (step S1154). that time,
Display OK button and reject button on the screen. Then, the process branches depending on the type of the clicked button (step S1156). When the OK button is clicked, this flow ends. When the refusal button is clicked, a refusal message is created and handed over to the processing on the student side (step S1158), and this flow ends. When "business card exchange" is selected and input, a message indicating that the input business card exchange is desired is displayed (step S1160). At that time, an OK button and a reject button are displayed on the screen, and the process branches depending on the type of the clicked button (step S11).
62). When the OK button is clicked, the processes of steps S1164 to S1168 described below are performed and the present flow ends. When the refusal button is clicked, a refusal message is created and passed to the processing on the student side (step S11).
58) and this flow ends.

In the business card acquisition process on the student side, the button clicked in step S1156 or step S1162 is read and the process is branched (step S11).
10). If the OK button is clicked, the business card list D5 shown in FIG. 10 is read from the business card storage area,
Data regarding a business card corresponding to the teacher is acquired (step S1112). For example, when the user identification data of the teacher is “aaa”, the business card list D5 to the data D51
Will be obtained. Next, the acquired teacher's business card is displayed on the student's PC in the format shown in FIG. 15 (step S1114). Then, the acquired business card list D6 shown in FIG. 11 in which the acquired teacher's business cards are associated with the students
And store it in the acquired business card storage area (step S1).
116), and this flow ends. For example, the student having the user identification data “bbbb” is assigned the user identification data “aaa”.
When the business card of the teacher “a” is acquired, the data D6 in FIG.
“Aaaa” will be added to the “acquired business card” of 1. On the other hand, if the condition is not satisfied in step S1110, it means that the reject button is clicked.
The entered refusal is displayed (step S1118),
This flow ends. That is, the student-side business card acquisition process, in cooperation with part of the teacher-side business card acquisition process, acquires the business card corresponding to the student teacher from the stored business cards and associates the acquired business card with the same student. The acquired business card storage function P10 for storing the stored business card is realized.

If "business card exchange" is selected and input in step S1104, the teacher's business card acquisition process is performed to acquire the student's business card. That is, in step S1164, the business card list D5 is read from the business card storage area, and data regarding business cards corresponding to the student is acquired (step S1164). Next, the acquired student business card is displayed on the teacher's PC (step S1166). Then, the acquired business card of the student is added to the acquired business card list D6 in association with the teacher, stored in the acquired business card storage area (step S1168), and this flow ends. in this way,
At the end of the lesson, the student can obtain a business card from the teacher or exchange a business card with the teacher if desired while referring to the lesson contents, so that the education system 100 is convenient.

Returning to FIG. 19, when the business card acquisition process is completed, a point change process for giving an evaluation point from the student to the teacher is performed. This evaluation point is a point for evaluating the teacher, and also serves as an index for evaluation as a teacher. FIG. 39
40 shows a flowchart of the point changing process on the student side, and FIG. 41 shows a flowchart of the point changing process on the teacher side. In the point change processing on the student side, first, the total number of each of the teacher and the student of the subject in which the student has taken the lesson is acquired (step S120).
2). Here, for the total number of teachers and students, the data of the same subject as the subject was acquired from the subject list D2 shown in FIG. Can be performed by obtaining the total number of registered data. Since the subject list D2 is stored in the subject storage area by date, the total number of teachers and students may be obtained from the subject list D2 for a predetermined period, for example, all of one month.

Next, a value obtained by dividing the obtained number of students by the number of teachers is substituted into the parameter X1 for calculating the evaluation points (step S1204). For example, when 100 students and 50 teachers are registered in the same subject, the parameter X1 is 100/50 = 2. When 100 students and 2 teachers are registered in a subject with few teachers, the parameter X1 is 100/2 = 50. That is, the parameter X1 increases or decreases according to the number of teachers and students in the same subject. As will be described later, the larger the parameter X1 is, the larger the evaluation points given from the student to the teacher are. Therefore, when the teacher who belongs to a lesser number of teachers becomes the teacher, more evaluation points can be obtained.
In the example described above, both the number of teachers and the number of students of the same subject are used to calculate the parameter X1, but only one of them may be used to calculate the parameter X1. When only the number of teachers is used, for example, a value obtained by dividing a predetermined constant by the number of teachers can be substituted for the parameter X1. When using only the number of students, for example, a value obtained by dividing the number of students by a predetermined constant can be substituted for the parameter X1.

Also, the answer time of the student is reflected in the evaluation points. In step S1206, the total answer time of the student is calculated. In the answer output process, the question output time when the question is displayed for each question (that is, the time when the question is output to the student) and the answer output time when the answer is passed to the question output process (that is, the answer is output to the teacher) Since the answer output time is subtracted from the answer output time for each question, the time may be calculated and totaled. Next, a value obtained by dividing the lesson time by the calculated answer time is substituted into another parameter X2 (step S1208). The lesson time can be obtained by acquiring the time zone of the subject who took the lesson from the subject list D2 and subtracting the start time from the end time. For example, when the class time is 60 minutes and the answer time is 30 minutes, the parameter X2 is 60/30 = 2. When the answer time is 10 minutes, the parameter X2 is 60
/ 10 = 6. That is, the parameter X2 increases or decreases according to the answer time of the student. The larger the parameter X2, the larger the evaluation point. Therefore, the shorter the answer time of the student, the more evaluation points the teacher can obtain.

Furthermore, the judgment result of the student's answer is also reflected in the evaluation points. Here, when the teacher inputs the question sentence and outputs it to the student, the hard disk 25
The correct answer is not stored in, and the answer judgment result is not created. Therefore, in step S1210, it is determined whether the output format of the question is "question selection". If the output form of the question is “input question text”, the condition is not satisfied, and 0 is set to another parameter X3 in step S1212.
Is substituted and the process proceeds to step S1218. Step S12
If the condition is satisfied in 10, the determination result created and stored in the answer output process is read, and the number of correct answers is calculated from the determination result (step S1214). Since “win” or “out” is stored for each problem, for example, the number of correct answers can be calculated by obtaining the number of “wins”. Next, a value obtained by dividing the number of correct answers by the number of questions and multiplying by a predetermined constant is substituted into another parameter X3 (step S1216). For example, if there are 20 problems and the number of correct answers is 10, and the predetermined constant is 30, then the parameter X3 is (10/20) × 30 = 15. When all the questions are correct, the parameter X3 is (20/20) ×
30 = 30. That is, the parameter X3 increases or decreases according to the number of correct answers of the students. The larger the parameter X3, the larger the evaluation point. Therefore, the more correct answers the student has, the more evaluation points the teacher can obtain.

After that, the calculated parameters X1 to X3 are summed, and the decimal points are rounded off to obtain calculation points (step S1218). Here, in principle, the calculation points are points that are always given to the teacher, and the students will refer to the calculation points to decide the evaluation points to be added. Therefore, in step S1220, the calculation points are displayed together with the points that the student has. The student points are acquired by reading the points corresponding to the student user identification data from the point list D4 stored in the point information storage area. Then, the input field is displayed on the screen, and the operation input of the evaluation points to be added to the calculation points is accepted and acquired (step S1232 in FIG. 40). That is, the student can increase or decrease the evaluation points given to the teacher according to the class content. In the case of the present embodiment, an integer of 0 to 50 can be operated and input in the input field. Needless to say, such restrictions can be set in various ways and can be set without any restrictions.

After step S1232, the evaluation points are calculated by adding the evaluation points to the calculation points (step S1234). Here, the calculated evaluation point may be larger than the student's point. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the calculated evaluation points are larger than the student's points (step S1236), and if the conditions are satisfied, the point list D4.
The point corresponding to the student stored in is set as the evaluation point (step S1238). That is, the processing of steps S1202 to S1238 realizes an evaluation point acquisition function for acquiring evaluation point information regarding the teacher's evaluation. In addition, in the present embodiment, the operation input of the evaluation point to be added after calculating the calculation point is accepted, but the operation point of the evaluation point to be added is accepted and then the calculation point is calculated to obtain the evaluation point. Good. In addition, only one of the automatically calculated element and the element input by the student's operation may be incorporated as the evaluation point in accordance with the usage of the education system 100. Also, when automatically calculating the evaluation points, only one of the parameters X1 to X3 may be used, or an operation different from the above-described operation may be used. Then, the calculated evaluation points are subtracted from the student points (step S1240). Next, the changed student points are stored in the point list D4 and stored in the point information storage area (step S1242). Then, the same evaluation point is passed to the point change process on the teacher side (step S1244), and this flow ends.

In the point change process on the teacher side, first, the input evaluation point is displayed together with the name of the student (step S1252). If there are multiple students, list the evaluation points for each student. When the evaluation point is obtained, the user identification data of the student is added to the evaluation point. The student name corresponding to this user identification data is acquired from the subject list D2 and displayed, and next to the same name. Display the evaluation points. Next, the points corresponding to the user identification data of the teacher are acquired from the point list D4, and all evaluation points are added to the points (step S1254). And
The changed teacher's points are stored in the point list D4 and stored in the point information storage area (step S1).
256). For example, the user identification data “bbbb”,
Evaluation points from students of "dddd""4"
When “0” and “80” are input, the total of evaluation points is “120”. At this point, point list D4
In the points corresponding to the students in “,” “40” is subtracted for the student of the user identification data “bbbb”, and “80” is subtracted for the student of the user identification data “dddd”. Here, the user identification data of the teacher is “aaa”.
In this case, "9777", which is obtained by adding "120" to the point "9657" corresponding to the teacher in the point list D4 of FIG. 9, is stored in the point list D4.

Then, the total points corresponding to the user identification data of the teacher are acquired from the point list D4, and all the evaluation points are added to the total points (step S1258). Then, the changed total points of the teacher are stored in the point list D4 and stored in the point information storage area (step S1260), and this flow ends. For example, the total of the student evaluation points is "120".
When the user identification data of the teacher is “aaaa”, “3336” obtained by adding “120” to the total points “3216” corresponding to the teacher in the point list D4 of FIG. 9 is the total of the point list D4. It will be stored in points.

Thus, in the processing of the flow shown in FIGS. 39 to 41, steps S1242, S1256, S
The process of 1260 realizes a point information storage function P6 that is provided corresponding to a plurality of subjects and that stores point information regarding educational information. Then, in the processing of the remaining flow, when the point information storage function P6 stores the point information, the point information change function P7 that changes the point information of a certain subject by associating the point information of another subject with the point information of another subject. To realize. In this embodiment, since the point information of both sides is changed by giving the evaluation points from the student to the teacher,
The teacher can collect evaluation points, and based on the collected evaluation points, he / she can become a student and receive education from other subjects, and can increase the enjoyment of receiving the education. This evaluation point is based on the operation input of the students, and increases or decreases according to the number of teachers and students in the same subject, increases or decreases according to the answer time of the students, or increases or decreases according to the number of correct answers of the students. So, in this respect too, the enjoyment of getting an education will increase.

(8) Point output processing operation: When the point change processing is completed, the processing of FIG.
Returning to step S135, the point output process of step S135 is performed.
This point output processing is also executed when the point output button 41c on the menu screen displayed in step S110 is clicked. FIG. 42 shows step S1.
The point output processing performed at 35 is shown by a flowchart. In the figure, first, the point list D4 is acquired from the point information storage area (step S13).
02). Next, the points and the total points corresponding to the subject using the PC 30 are acquired from the point list D4, and the point display screen is displayed on the PC 30 corresponding to the subject (step S1304). An example of the point display screen is shown in the flow. For example, PC3
The user identification data of the subject using 0 is "bbb
When it is “b”, the point “3717” and the total point “0” are acquired and displayed from the point list D4 of FIG.

When the point display screen is displayed, a total point button, a point button, and an end button (not shown) are displayed at the bottom of the screen. Then, the process branches depending on the type of the clicked button (step S130).
6). If the total points button is clicked, the process advances to step S1308, and the name of each subject is output in the order of the size of the total points obtained by summing the evaluation points for each subject. In step S1308, the data D41 to D44 stored in the acquired point list D4 are rearranged in descending order of total points. If there are four subjects in the example of FIG. 9, the data D4
1, D43, D44, and D42 are rearranged in this order. Next, ranks are assigned in the rearranged order (step S1).
310), as shown in FIG. 43, ranking, total points,
The names are sequentially displayed as a ranking in the ranking display field 49a in a list (step S1312). Also, PC30
The ranks and total points corresponding to the subject who uses are also displayed in the total point display field 49b provided below the ranking display field 49a (step S1314). Therefore, the names of the subjects are output in the order of the evaluation points as the ranking of the evaluation points, and the enjoyment of participating in the class can be increased. An OK button 49c is provided at the bottom of the screen. When the OK button 49c is clicked, the process returns to step S1304, the points corresponding to the subject are displayed again, and the selection input of the button is accepted.

If the point button is clicked in step S1306, the process advances to step S1316, and the subject names are output in the order of point size. In step S1316, the data D41 to D44 stored in the acquired point list D4 are rearranged in descending order of points. In the example of FIG. 9, the data D41, D43, D42, D44 are rearranged in this order. Next, the ranking is given in the rearranged order (step S1318), and the ranking, points, and names are sequentially displayed in a list in the ranking display field on the same screen as in FIG. 43 (step S1320), and the PC 30 is used. The ranking and total points corresponding to are also displayed (step S1322). Therefore, the names of the subjects are output in the order of points as the ranking of points, which also increases the enjoyment of participating in the class. Then, when the OK button provided at the bottom of the screen is clicked, step S130
Return to 4. When the end button is clicked in step S1306, this flow ends. As described above, the point output process is performed in step S1 of FIG.
Along with the processing of 258, a point information output function P5 for outputting the point information changed by the point information changing function P7 is realized.

As described above, according to the present invention, the user of the main education system 100, who is the subject, can educate other users by inputting the operation regarding the problem, and at the same time, the other users can be educated. You can get an education by getting the questions from and inputting the answers to the questions. Therefore, it is possible to smoothly educate and receive education among users, and to answer problems that are not prepared in advance.
It is possible to expand the content that can be taught. Further, even when the education is carried out by using the problems stored in the education system 100, it is possible to narrow down the choices or give a separate hint according to the intention of the user, so that the education can be varied. Furthermore, the point information is provided for each user and changes in relation to the point information corresponding to other users. You can decide what to do and have fun and get an education.

(9) Second Embodiment: In the point changing process described above, when the points of the student and the points of the teacher are changed in association with each other, the processing of changing the points of the student to be given to the teacher is performed. Various other processes are possible. For example, a process of adding a value to the teacher's point after performing a predetermined calculation, such as multiplying an evaluation point subtracted from the student's point by a constant, may be performed. Further, it is possible to perform a process of changing only the teacher's points without changing the student's points. Further, instead of the digitized points, point information including character information or image information for displaying a character may be used.
In this case, for example, the point information can be exchanged between the teacher and the student by performing a process of giving part of the character information and the image information included in the point information of the student to the teacher. Note that changing the points at the end of the lesson is just an example, and processing for changing the points may be performed during the lesson. The points may be changed many times in one lesson.

Furthermore, it is assumed that the class cannot be continued because of the possibility of doing business during the class. Therefore, a flow as shown in FIGS. 44 and 45 may be provided. FIG. 44 is a flowchart showing a part of the answer output processing realized by the educational program P according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 45 shows a part of the point information processing (part 2) realized by the educational program P. It is shown by a flow chart. These flows allow students to escape in the middle of a lesson. And when the students leave the class, the students give points to the teacher. Note that the flow of FIG. 44 is performed instead of the solution output process (question sentence input) flow of FIG. 23, and the flow of FIG. 45 is performed instead of the flows of FIGS. 39 to 41. , Steps in which the same processing is performed are assigned the same reference numerals. Further, as a premise that the processing of FIG. 44 is performed, it is assumed that a midway exit button is provided in the answer input field 44b on the initial screen on the student side of FIG.

In FIG. 44, steps S652 and S6.
In 54, similarly to the first embodiment, processing such as displaying the initial screen shown in FIG. 25 and displaying a question sentence in the question display field 44a is performed. Then, it is determined whether or not the midway exit button has been clicked (step S682). If the exit button on the way has not been clicked, the process of outputting an answer is performed as in steps S656 to S674 of FIG. If the midway exit button is clicked, point change processing (part 2) on the side of the student for midway exit is performed in step S684, and the present flow ends. It should be noted that when step S684 is performed, the process of giving points from the student to the teacher has already been performed, so when the process returns to the question answer output process of FIG. 19, step S41.
6, the point change process of S422 is not performed.

The point change processing (part 2) on the student side in step S684 is shown on the left side of FIG. First, as in steps S1202 to S1216 of FIG. 39, the parameters X1 to X3 are calculated. Then, instead of step S1218, the calculation point is set to 1.5 times the total of the parameters X1 to X3 (step S1262). Since it is the students' convenience to exit during the lesson, the calculation points automatically handed over to the teacher are enlarged. Of course, it suffices to determine the calculation points according to the application situation of the education system. After that, steps S1220 to S1244 in FIGS. 39 and 40.
In the same manner as the above, the evaluation point is calculated and the process is passed to the point change process (part 2) on the teacher side, and this flow is ended.

At this time, the point change process (part 2) on the teacher side shown on the right side of FIG. 45 is started by the interrupt process. In other words, points will be given and received while the teacher is in class. The basic configuration of the process is the same as the point changing process of FIG. 41. The evaluation points input together with the name of the student are displayed, the evaluation points are added to the points of the teacher, and the points are memorized. The same evaluation points are added to the total points to store the total points (steps S1252 to S126).
0), this flow ends. Then, the teacher's point change processing (No. 2) by the interruption processing ends, and the teacher can continue the lesson. As shown in FIG.
4 and the flow of FIG. 45, it becomes possible for the student to get out of the course of the lesson, so that the convenience can be improved. In addition, in the answer output process of FIG. 29 (narrowing down the choices) and the answer output process of FIG. 33 (use of characters), by adding the same processes as those in steps S682 to S684, the student can exit during the lesson. It is possible.

(10) Third Embodiment: The teacher may be allowed to stop the class on the way. In this case, for example, step S in the question output process of FIG.
After displaying the initial screen at 602, it is determined whether or not to stop the lesson according to button operation or the like, and when the lesson is stopped, the question output process may be immediately ended. At that time, in order to give a penalty to the teacher, a process of handing a predetermined point from the teacher to the student may be performed. Further, the education system may be configured so that a certain point is handed over from the student to the teacher in advance at the start of the class. In this case, it is preferable that the points be returned to the students when the teacher quits the class on the way.
FIG. 46 is a flowchart showing a part of problem output processing realized by the education program P according to the third embodiment. This flow is performed instead of the flow of the question output process (question sentence input) in FIG. 22, and the same reference numerals are given to steps in which the same process is performed. Also, the question input field 43 on the initial screen of the teacher side of FIG.
It is assumed that a has a class stop button.

In the figure, first, a predetermined prepaid point (for example, 50 points) is acquired from the student (step S632). These prepaid points are fixed points handed over from the students to the teacher at the start of the class. Actually, the student's answer output process subtracts the prepaid points from the student's points to memorize the points, and the teacher's problem output process adds the prepaid points of all the students to the points to add points. You will remember.
Here, when the number of points of the student is less than the prepaid points, a process of ending the answer output process on the student side may be performed so that the student does not take the class. Then, in step S602, the initial screen shown in FIG. 24 is displayed as in the first embodiment. Then, it is determined whether or not the class end button has been clicked (step S634). If the condition is not satisfied, step S in FIG.
Similar to steps 604 to S624, processing for outputting a question sentence is performed. If the condition is satisfied, the prepaid points acquired from the student are returned (step S636), and the present flow ends. Actually, the teacher's problem output process subtracts all the student's prepaid points from the teacher's points to store the points, and the student's answer output process adds the student's points to the prepaid points to obtain points. You will remember. Note that when step S636 is performed,
When the process returns to the question answer output process of step S41
6, the point change process of S422 is not performed. As described above, the flow of FIG. 46 allows the teacher to stop the lesson midway, which improves convenience.

(11) Fourth Embodiment By the way, if points are given and received after the lesson, it is expected that some students will not pass the evaluation points. Such students will bother teachers and other students,
It would be preferable to be able to refuse to participate in the class. For example, as shown in FIG. 47, the business card list D15 stores the number of attendances in class and the number of delinquencies in which the evaluation points are not handed over in the point changing process, and the subject as a student is based on the number of attendances and the number of delinquency. The evaluation may be calculated and notified to the teacher. Note that the number of delinquent payments may be the number of times 0 is input as the evaluation point to be added in step S1232. FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing a part of the problem answer output processing realized by the education program P according to the fourth embodiment. This flow is performed instead of the flow of the question answer output process of FIG.

First, steps S402 to S41 of FIG.
Similar to 0, the class partner is determined and displayed, and the process is branched depending on whether the subject is a teacher or a student. When the subject is a teacher, the number of attendances and the number of delinquencys corresponding to the students of the lesson are acquired from the business card list D15 of FIG. 47 (step S432). Next, the rank of the student of the lesson is calculated and displayed based on the number of times of attendance and the number of delinquency (step S434). For example, the ratio of the number of delinquents to the number of attendances can be calculated in percentage units and used as the rank of the students. Also, when this ratio is 0%, "rank A
It may be converted into character information such as "AA", "rank AA" when less than 1%, "rank E" when 50% or more, and displayed. For example, the rank of the subject of the user identification data “eeee” is 63/86 = 0.73, which is “rank E”. That is, the subject is a so-called "black student" who almost fails to pay the evaluation points.

In step S436, the selection input of the student who refuses to participate in the class is accepted and acquired from the students of the class. Then, it is determined whether or not there is a student who is a partner of the lesson except the student who refuses to participate in the lesson (step S43).
8). If there is a student who is a class partner, step S in FIG.
Similar to 412 to S416, the question output process, the business card acquisition process, and the point change process are performed, and the present flow ends. On the other hand, when there is no student to be the class partner, this flow ends. As a result, no classes will be held. If the subject is a student, steps S410 to S410
Proceed to 440 to determine if you can attend the class. That is, when the teacher corresponds to the student who has made a selective input to refuse class participation in step S436, the condition is not satisfied in step S440, and the present flow ends. In this case, no classes will be held. On the other hand, if the condition is satisfied in step S440, the answer output process, as in steps S418 to S422 in FIG.
The business card acquisition process and the point change process are performed, and this flow ends. In this way, the teacher can know whether or not to refuse the student's participation in the lesson after knowing the evaluation as the subject student, so that the convenience can be improved. The evaluation of the students viewed by the teacher may be stored in the business card list D15, and the evaluation of the students viewed by the teacher may be displayed in step S434. In this case, it is possible to decide whether or not to refuse the student's participation in the class by referring to the evaluation.

(12) Fifth Embodiment: Students who have a large proportion of delinquent evaluation points may be automatically refused to participate in the lesson. FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing a part of the problem answer output processing realized by the education program P according to the fifth embodiment. First, similarly to steps S402 to S404 of FIG. 19, the subject and the time zone are acquired from the subject, and it is determined whether or not there is a lesson partner in the same subject and time zone. If you have a classmate,
The number of attendances and the number of delinquency corresponding to the subject are acquired from the business card list (step S442), and the rank of the subject as a student is calculated based on the number of attendances and the number of delinquency (step S444).

Then, it is judged whether or not the rank of the student is "rank E", that is, whether the delinquency rate is 50% or more (step S446). If not "Rank E"
It is determined whether or not the lesson is not established because the other subject is "rank E". If the lesson is not established, the process proceeds to step S406. If the lesson is established, step S406 in FIG.
The same processing as 408 to S422 is performed. On the other hand, if the rank is "Rank E", the flow advances to step S406 to display that there is no other party, and then the present flow ends. That is, when the subject is a "black student", participation in the class is automatically rejected. In this way, the processes of steps S442 to S446 realize the subject acquisition function in the sense of determining whether to acquire the subject as a student according to the acquisition status of the evaluation point information from the subject by the point information changing function. It will be. Of course, various judgment criteria can be adopted in step S446,
This criterion may be set by operation input.

(13) Sixth Embodiment: Furthermore, "black students" are registered in the black list for each subject, and the registered "black students" are automatically refused to participate in their own lessons. May be. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 50, “black student” may be stored in the acquired business card list D16. In the acquired business card list D16, the user identification data of “black student” is stored in association with the user identification data of the subject. To register a “black student”, for example, in the point change process on the teacher side performed at the end of the lesson, an operation input as to whether or not to register as a “black student” is accepted, and when registering, “black student” is registered.
The user identification data sent from the PC 30 of the subject to be registered as is acquired and stored in the acquired business card list D16 in association with the user identification data of the teacher. In addition, a process for separately searching for a student is provided to accept selection input of a business card to be registered as a “black student” from the acquired business cards stored in the acquired business card list D16, and the user identification data corresponding to the selected and input business card is input to the teacher. It may be stored in association with the user identification data.

Then, the processing shown in FIG. 51 is performed to automatically refuse the teacher's participation in the class of "black student". First, similarly to steps S402 to S404 of FIG. 19, the subject and the time zone are acquired from the subject, and it is determined whether or not there is a lesson partner in the same subject and time zone. When there is a lesson partner, the “black student” whose “registration” in the subject list D2 corresponds to the subject who is the teacher is acquired from the acquired business card list D16 (step S452). Actually, the user identification data of "black student" is acquired. Next, it is determined whether the subject who is going to participate in the class is a registered "black student" (step S4).
54). Since the user identification data of the subject is sent from the PC 30, it may be determined whether or not this user identification data matches the user identification data of “black student” acquired from the acquired business card list D16. If they do not match, the teacher is not a “black student”, and the process proceeds to step S456. Here, it is determined whether or not the lesson is not established because the other subject is the "black student". If the lesson is not established, the process proceeds to step S406, and if the lesson is established, steps S408 to S408 of FIG.
The same process as 422 is performed. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S454 that the teacher is a "black student", the flow advances to step S406 to display that there is no partner, and then the present flow ends. That is, when the subject is a "black student", participation in the class is automatically rejected. In this way, by the processing of steps S452 to S456, the registered "black student" can be automatically refused to participate in his or her lesson, which improves convenience.

(14) Seventh Embodiment: In each of the above-described embodiments, the server and the plurality of PCs are connected to each other through the Internet network to form the education system. However, instead of the Internet network, a LAN or the like is used. The education system may be configured by connecting them, or the education system may be configured by connecting a plurality of sets of display, keyboard and mouse to one computer. At that time, the flow of the education program may be constructed according to the configuration of the education system. Also,
Various educational program flows can be constructed. For example, the flow may be such that the question output process and the answer output process are not performed in parallel. FIG. 52 is a flowchart showing a part of problem answer output processing realized by the education program P according to the seventh embodiment. This flow is performed instead of the question answer output process shown in FIG. 19, but step S1402 is executed after performing the same processes as steps S402 to S408.

In step S1402, the initial screen as shown in FIG. 24 or 25 is displayed. Next, an operation input regarding the question is received and acquired from the teacher (step S1404), the question is output to the student according to the operation input, and displayed on the student's PC (step S140).
6). Here, the operation-input question sentence may be output to the student as it is, or the question selected and input from the questions stored in the hard disk or the like may be output to the student. That is, the processing of steps S1404 to S1406 realizes the question output function. After that, the operation input regarding the answer to the question is received and acquired from the student (step S1408), the answer is output to the student according to the operation input, and displayed on the teacher's PC (step S1410). Also in this case, the answer input by operation may be output to the teacher as it is, or the answer selected and input from the options stored in the recording medium may be output to the teacher. That is, the processes of steps S1408 to S1410 realize the answer output function.

Then, it is determined whether or not to end depending on whether or not the end button is clicked (step S1412). If not finished, educational information output function P
The processing of steps S1404 to S1412 in step 3 is repeated. When ending, the business card acquisition process (not shown) is appropriately performed, the point information changing function P7 changes the points of the student and the points of the teacher in association with each other (step S1414), and the present flow ends. Step S141
In 4, the evaluation points are accepted from the students and acquired, or the evaluation points are automatically acquired, and the evaluation points are subtracted from the student points and added to the teacher points. In this way, it is possible to perform the question answer output process without performing the question output process and the answer output process in parallel.

(15) Eighth Embodiment: Furthermore, it is possible to configure an educational system even when the teacher deviates from the concept of giving lessons to students. FIG. 53 is a flowchart showing the outline of the processing realized by the educational program P according to the eighth embodiment. In the present embodiment, the subject is not registered as a teacher or a student, but is processed as a fellow who is taught to or taught by another subject. First, an initial screen in which a conversation can be input from a plurality of subjects is displayed like the chat field 43d shown in FIG. 24 (step S1502). Next, when a button for conversation input is clicked or the like, the operation input regarding the question and the answer to the question is accepted and acquired from the subject who performed the same operation (step S1504). Then, according to the operation input, the educational information about the question or the answer is output to the subject who participates in the conversation (step S150).
6). That is, the processing of steps S1504 to S1506 realizes the educational information output function.

Then, the point information changing function changes the point information corresponding to a certain subject and the point information corresponding to another subject in association with each other (step S15).
08). For example, if the specification is such that the subject views the educational information displayed on the screen, and inputs the evaluation point information to be handed over to the subject who has input the educational information, step S
At 1508, the point information of the subject who input the educational information and the point information of the subject who input the evaluation point information may be changed in association with each other based on the input evaluation point information. After the end of step S1508, the point information storage function stores the point information (step S1510), and it is determined whether or not the end button is clicked (step S1).
512). If not completed, steps S1504 to S1
When the process of 512 is repeated and the process is to be ended, this flow is ended.

Also in the present embodiment, the subject can educate other subjects and can be educated by other subjects, so that they can answer and teach problems that are not prepared in advance. It is possible to expand the contents. Also, since the point information changes in relation to the point information corresponding to other subjects, the subject can decide whether to give a question or answer a question by referring to the point information. Therefore, it is possible to have fun while receiving education. As described above, according to the present invention, according to various aspects, it is possible to smoothly carry out and receive education among a plurality of people, and it is possible to expand the contents to be taught, We can provide educational programs that you can enjoy and receive education. Further, this educational program can be applied as a medium in which the system, method and program are recorded.
