FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a schematic configuration of means constituting a basic skeleton of the education support system 100. The Internet network 10 and the communication interface are omitted. Each means provided in the servers 20 and 30 can access the hard disk (HD) 31 provided in the database server 30. The HD 31 has an information storage area in which various teaching material information and various access information are accumulated.

The outline of the processing performed by the various means of the system 100 is as follows. The administrator-side teaching material input means of the administrator PCs 40 and 50 accepts an operation input for registering teaching material information, and sends the teaching material information corresponding to the input content to the Web server 20. As described above, as the teaching material information, various types of information can be adopted as long as the information can display the teaching material. For example, HTML (Hyper Text Marku).
p Language) format data and image data can be combined. Then, the Web server 2
The server-side teaching material input means provided in 0 acquires the teaching material information and associates the teaching material information with address information (hereinafter referred to as URL information) represented by a URL in the information storage area of the database server 30. Remember. In fact, W
The eb server creates a request for registering the teaching material information and outputs the request together with the teaching material information to the database server. The database server obtains the registration request and the teaching material information from the Web server and stores them in the HD 31 in association with the URL information. I am letting you. After that, similar processing will be repeated many times, but it is simply described as "store in information storage area".

The administrator-side mail compiling means of the administrator's PC is used for inputting a URL, inputting a processing program describing a process to be executed by the server as a source program, inputting a text of an electronic mail, etc. Is received and the URL corresponding to the input content, the processing program, the body of the electronic mail, and the like are transmitted to the Web server. Then, the server-side mail creating means provided in the Web server obtains the URL, the processing program, the text of the electronic mail, and the like, and creates the electronic mail information forming the electronic mail. At that time, a student ID (student identification data) for identifying a student, a mail ID (mail identification data) for identifying e-mail information, and a branch number (reference order) indicating a reference order of a plurality of learning material information as necessary. The data) is encrypted and included in the URL information, and e-mail information for encouraging the browsing of the teaching material corresponding to the URL information is created. Then, the mail output means provided in the database server 30 outputs the created electronic mail information to the student PC 60 corresponding to the student. In the student PC, the mail display means obtains and displays the electronic mail information from the server.

For example, how the electronic mail information is created when various information D1 shown in FIG. 3 is input from the administrator's PC will be described. In the same information D1, the mail ID
"E002", e-mail text, student ID, branch number "1" ~
“3”, the input URL information and the processing program input from the administrator's PC corresponding to each branch number are included. In addition, "chp1-1.htm" in the input URL information,
"Chp1-2.htm" and "chp1-3.htm" are the file names of the teaching material information corresponding to each branch number, and "http://www.xxx.au.jp/e"
"ng2 / chp1-1.htm" and the like represent the storage location of the teaching material information. Further, the processing program is a program that can acquire the teaching material information from the information storage area and can execute the processing according to the access status from the student PC. Further, when only one URL information is included in the electronic mail information, the branch number is set to "0".

First, each input URL information is converted into information representing the storage location where the processing program is stored in the information storage area. In this embodiment, the processing program is ASP (Ac
tiveServer Pages) format, and "chp1-" in the URL information D2 for the student ID "0001" before encryption.
1.asp ”,“ chp1-2.asp ”, and“ chp1-3.asp ”are the file names of the processing programs corresponding to each branch number. Here, the teaching material information corresponding to the URL information before conversion is also information corresponding to the URL information after conversion. FIG. 4 schematically shows the structure of the ASP file used in this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the ASP file is roughly A, B,
It is divided into three areas C. In the area A, the encrypted student ID, mail ID, and branch number included in the URL information are decrypted (decoded) so that they can be linked to the homepage data stored in the information storage area. In that case, it is possible to perform processing by using Java (R) script "onload" when opening a home page, and Java (R) when opening another home page or closing a home page.
It is also possible to perform processing by using the script “unload”. A region B following the region A is a region where processing for displaying teaching material information which is an actual content is performed.
When referring to another homepage, nothing is written. In the area C following the area B, there is a description for storing the access status from the student PC in the information storage area,
When referring to another homepage, the process of jumping is performed in this part.

Next, the student ID and mail I are included in each URL information.
A process including D and a branch number is performed. Specifically, a character string that specifies a student, a character string that specifies an e-mail, and a character string that specifies a branch number are added to the end of URL information (search part beginning with "?"). That is, the information “0001” after “u =” in the URL information D2 before encryption is the student ID,
The information "e002" after "m =" is the mail ID, and "-"
Subsequent information “1”, “2”, and “3” are branch numbers. Then, in the present embodiment, the URL information D2 having the student ID, the mail ID, and the branch number is encrypted according to a predetermined rule, and the email information D3 or D4 is combined with the email text and the like.
And That is, the student ID after “u =” in each URL information is encrypted, and the mail ID after “m =” is encrypted.
And the branch number is encrypted. In this embodiment, URLs corresponding to all branch numbers like the email information D3
The description will be made assuming that the encrypted information in the information is the same. Of course, like the electronic mail information D4, all the encrypted information in the URL information corresponding to each branch number may be different.

When the electronic mail information is displayed on the student's PC, the browsing request sending means accepts the input of the click operation to the display area of the URL described in the electronic mail. Then, the operation input for browsing the teaching material corresponding to the URL information included in the e-mail information is accepted, and the browsing request including the encrypted student ID, mail ID, and URL information to which the branch number is added is created. And sends it to the Web server. In the Web server, the teaching material output means is a student ID or mail I encrypted from the student PC.
Obtain a browse request containing URL information with D or branch number,
The learning material information corresponding to the URL information is acquired from the information storage area and is output to the student PC that has obtained the browsing request. In the student PC, the teaching material display means obtains the teaching material information existing at the URL described in the e-mail from the Web server and displays the teaching material.

At this time, in the Web server, the processing program in the form of an ASP file causes the Web server to function as the teaching material output means, and the encrypted student ID and mail included in the browsing request obtained from the student PC. ID
And the branch number are decrypted, and the decrypted student ID, mail ID, and branch number are associated with the access status of the teaching material information from the student PC and stored in the information storage area of the database server 30. Further, the processing program also causes the Web server to function as a support information creating means, and based on the information accumulated in the information storage area, educational support information for supporting the education of the same student (student). Is created and output to the outside. Then, the support information acquisition means of the administrator PC acquires and displays the education support information.

For example, what kind of information is stored in the information storage area and what kind of educational support information is created when the URL information D5 shown in FIG. explain. The URL information D5 is
It is one of the URL information included in the electronic mail information D3 output to the student PC. First, the encrypted mail ID, branch number, and student ID are decrypted. Where A
Since the file name of the SP file is “chp1-1.asp”, it is determined that the URL information D5 is information corresponding to the branch number “1”. Then, the information after "u =""456829274"
The information “3784791220” after “3” and “m =” is decrypted according to a predetermined rule to obtain the student ID “0001”, the mail ID, and the branch number “e002-1”. Then, the decrypted URL that is the same as the unencrypted URL information D2 shown in FIG.
Information D6 can be obtained.

After that, "http://www.xxx.au.jp/eng2/ch
Read the ASP file that has "p1-1.asp" as the storage location, and follow the processing program that is the same file to the student PC that received the browsing request to "http: //www.xxx.a."
u.jp/eng2/chp1-1.htm ”is output as the storage location, and information is also provided by associating the student ID, email ID, branch number, and access status of the teaching material information from the student PC. Store in the storage area. As shown in FIG. 5, the contents to be stored are mail ID and branch number, student ID, date and time when electronic mail is sent, date and time when home page is opened, date and time when home page is closed, etc. Then, it is stored in the student sending confirmation table and stored in the information storage area. Then, referring to the student sending confirmation table, the educational support information D7 for each student is created. The education support information D7 is the date and time when the homepage was opened, the date and time when the homepage was closed, the browsing time of the homepage, the comparison result of the browsing time and the average time of all students, and the like. As described above, since the student can be identified by the student ID, the education support information is information for supporting the education of the same student for each of a plurality of students. In other words, when conducting a curriculum survey, rather than sending out a direct mail by e-mail and deriving just how much it referred to, when and who referenced from what hour what minute what second to what hour minutes By recording, it is possible to obtain more useful information than ever before, such as how many hours, minutes and seconds each student saw.
Therefore, the administrator can obtain the educational support information for each student on the administrator's PC, and refer to the educational support information for the URL information corresponding to the appropriate teaching material for each student, the processing program, and the e-mail. It becomes possible to provide appropriate teaching materials for each student by inputting the text or the like or inputting new teaching material information. In addition, by statistically processing the browsing status of the homepage, it becomes possible to obtain biological reaction information that has never existed before.

(6) System operation at the time of administrator / student registration: The operation of the education support system 100 will be sequentially described below by appropriately displaying display screen examples. When providing teaching materials to students, the provider of the present system 100 uses a PC network-connected to the database server 30 to register information about the administrator. The outline of the processing performed at this time is as follows. In the PC, when an administrator registration button provided on a menu screen (not shown) is selected by an operation input by the system provider, an administrator registration request is created and sent to the database server 30. When the database server 30 receives the request, it creates the administrator registration screen data and P
Output to C. The PC acquires the same data and displays an administrator registration screen (not shown). While the same screen is displayed, the system provider accepts an operation input of an administrator ID, an administrator name, a password to be used by the administrator, an administrator's belonging name, and an administrator's email address.
Then, the input contents are sent to the database server and the process is terminated. The database server acquires the entered contents and stores them in the administrator table T1,
Terminate the process. In this way, the information about the administrator can be registered, and the information about the administrator can be corrected or deleted by correcting the contents of the administrator table T1.

In providing the teaching material to the students from the administrator, the administrator performs an operation of registering information about the students in the present system 100. Of course, it is also possible for the system provider to perform an operation of registering information about students.
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a student information sending process performed by the administrator PCs 40 and 50 and a student registration process performed by the Web server 20. When the administrator registration button provided on the menu screen (not shown) displayed in S240 is selected by the administrator's operation input, the administrator PCs 40, 50 create a student registration request and create an Internet network 10.
It is sent to the Web server 20 via (S302). W
Upon receiving this student registration request, the eb server 20 activates the education support program 21b from the corresponding URL (S322). Here, the PCs 40 and 50 are the present system 1
When the user logs in to 00, the administrator ID, which is information for identifying the administrator, is received and sent to the Web server, and the administrator ID is changed from the student information table T2 stored in the information storage area of the database server 30. Student registration screen data for obtaining a list of information about students by obtaining all corresponding information is output, and the student registration request is output to the administrator's PC that has obtained the request (S324). Actually, the Web server sends a request for obtaining the student information table T2 to the database server 30, the database server 30 obtains the request, reads the table T2 from the HD 31, and sends it to the Web server. A process of obtaining the table T2 and extracting necessary information is performed.

The manager's PC obtains the data of the list of information on the students and displays the student registration screen on the display (S304). An example of the display screen is shown in FIG. The figure is a list display screen of student information corresponding to the administrator of XX university.

0), the teaching material input process on the administrator side is ended. The Web server acquires the teaching material information from the administrator PC (S42).
6), the teaching material information is stored in the folder created in the information storage area (S428). Then, the input contents acquired in S424 are stored in the electronic teaching material information storage table T5 of the database server 30 (S430), and the teaching material input processing is terminated.

For example, an area "www.xxx.au.jp" is given to the administrator from the information storage area, "eng2" is input as the folder name for storing the teaching material information, and "chp1" is input as the file name of the teaching material information. If "-1.htm" is entered, the storage location of the teaching material information named "chp1-1.htm" stored in the information storage area is "http://www.xxx.au.jp/ eng
2 / chp1-1.htm ”. In this embodiment, a predetermined ASP file is added to the folder “eng2”, and the teaching material information is acquired by accessing the ASP file. At that time, the file name of the ASP file is uniquely determined from "chp1-1.htm", for example, "hc
"hp1-1.asp" is added, and the storage location of the teaching material information of "chp1-1.htm" is set to "http://www.xxx.au.jp/eng2/hchp1-1.asp".
The teaching material information “chp1-1.htm” is stored in the information storage area in association with the URL information. As described above, the above-described processing performed by the server and the administrator's PC constitutes a learning material input means for inputting learning material information and storing it in the information storage area in association with the address information. Then, the administrator can input the teaching material information from the administrator PC, and this system is convenient.

(8) Operation of the system at the time of electronic mail registration: FIG. 23 shows the mail registration processing of the administrator side of the administrator PCs 40 and 50 and the mail registration processing of the Web server 20 which constitute a part of the mail creating means. It is a flowchart shown. When the mail registration button provided on the menu screen displayed in S240 is selected by the administrator's operation input, the administrator PCs 40, 50 create a mail registration request and send it to the Web server. When the Web server receives this mail registration request, it starts the education support program from the corresponding URL. Then, P for the administrator who created the mail creation screen data and obtained the mail registration request
It is output to C (S522).

The administrator PC obtains the mail creation screen data and displays the mail creation screen as shown in FIG. 24 on the display (S502). In the input field 83a displayed in the upper part of the screen, the title of the email, the text of the email, and the information of the remarks can be operated and input. It is possible to selectively input whether or not. When a number is operated and input in the reference URL number input field 83b in the middle part of the screen, the URL etc. input field 83c having the number of lines of the operation input number is displayed. Input field 8 for the same URL
In 3c, URL information indicating the storage location of the teaching material information, expanded URL information indicating the storage location of the second teaching material information, and UR
The description corresponding to the L information and the source program of the processing program can be operated and input. Here, when operating and inputting the URL information, the teaching material reference button 83d is clicked to UR the teaching material information stored in the information storage area.
It is also possible to display a list of L information and select and input any of the URL information. Further, when operating and inputting a processing program, by clicking on the program selection button 83e, one of a plurality of predetermined programs capable of executing predetermined processing according to the access status from the student PC is selected and input. It is also possible to do so.

That is, when the administrator's PC accepts the input of the click operation of the program selection button 83e, the information to that effect is sent to the Web server, and the Web server obtains the information to that effect, and the program name of the predetermined program is obtained. The list data of is acquired from the HD 21 and output to the administrator PC. Then, the administrator PC obtains the same data and displays the list 84a of the program names of the predetermined programs shown in FIG. For example, if the program name is "send_mail", and the command "send_mail" is followed by a mail ID as an argument, the specified program named "send_mail" will send the e-mail information corresponding to the mail ID. It is a program that realizes output processing. Here, it is possible to select and input by clicking the display area of the program name of the list 84a. "Send_m
When "ail" is selected, the argument input field 84b is further displayed to accept the operation input of the argument. Then, the list 84a

A program is created and displayed in the URL etc. input field 83c of the mail creation screen.

[Set_mai] displayed in the list 84a
The predetermined program named "l" is a program capable of executing the process of outputting the electronic mail information corresponding to the mail ID at the date and time described in the argument. "Check_sequ
The “ence” program is a program capable of executing a process of outputting another piece of electronic mail information indicating that it is not in the browse order when a plurality of teaching material information is not referenced in the reference order. "Clos
The "e_if" program is a program capable of executing different processing depending on the condition of the argument when ending the output of the teaching material information. The “mark” program is a program capable of executing a process of scoring when the teaching material is a test.

When the registration button 83f at the bottom of the mail creation screen in FIG. 24 is clicked, title, text, group selection information, password selection information, remarks, URL
The information, the development URL information, the description, and the operation input of the processing program are accepted (S504), and an e-mail image screen (not shown) is displayed. And the O provided on the same screen
When the K button is clicked, the entered contents are W
It is sent to the eb server (S506). The Web server acquires the contents input from the administrator PC (S524). Next, a mail ID that does not exist in the electronic mail delivery table T6 (for example, a combination of an alphabet and a serial number) is added, and a branch number (serial number or 0) is added according to the number of URL information (S5).
26). Further, an ASP file is created based on the source program of the processing program acquired from the administrator PC (S528), and the file name included in the URL information acquired from the administrator PC is the file name of the ASP file created in S528. (S530). For example,
The URL information obtained from the administrator's PC is "http: //www.x
xx.au.jp/eng2/hchp1-1.asp ”and created the ASP
For example, when "chp1-1.htm" (name of original file of teaching material information) uniquely determined from "chp1-1.asp" is given as the file name of the file, the URL information is "http:
//www.xxx.au.jp/eng2/chp1-1.asp ”is converted. Then, the teaching material information corresponding to the URL information before conversion also becomes information corresponding to the URL information after conversion.

Note that the expanded URL information can be converted in the same manner. For example, how the expanded URL information is converted when various information D11 shown in FIG. 26 is input from the administrator PC will be described. Where input expansion U
"Http://www.yyy.au.jp" in the RL information indicates that the second teaching material information is stored in the information storage area outside the system 100. First, the file name included in the expanded URL information acquired from the administrator's PC is converted into the file name of the ASP file created in S528. However, since the created ASP file cannot be stored in the external information storage area in many cases, the ASP file is stored in the information storage area in the system 100, and the information corresponding to the storage location is set. Convert the expanded URL information to. In the example of FIG. 26, the converted expanded URL information D12 is “http: //www.x”, which indicates that the expanded URL information D12 after conversion is a storage location in the information storage area of the database server 30.
xx.au.jp / ... ”is displayed.

After that, the assigned mail ID and branch number, various information acquired from the administrator's PC, and the date sent from the administrator's PC are associated with the converted URL information and expanded URL information to obtain information. It is stored in the electronic mail delivery table T6 and the electronic mail URL table T7 in the storage area (S532). Next, all the information corresponding to the administrator ID is acquired from the distribution schedule table T8 or the like stored in the information storage area, and the distribution schedule screen data is created so that the list of the distribution date and time of each electronic mail can be displayed. , The mail registration request is output to the administrator's PC that has obtained the mail registration request (S534). The administrator's PC obtains the list data such as the delivery date and time of the e-mail and displays a delivery schedule screen (not shown) (S508). On this screen, a list of mail IDs, titles stored in the email sending table T6, group names corresponding to the group IDs stored in the table T6 (obtained from the email classification table T3), and delivery dates and times Displayed as a table. When a button (not shown) is clicked, a registration screen is displayed, operation input of the mail ID and delivery date and time is accepted (S510), the input content is sent to the Web server (S512), and the administrator-side mail registration process ends. Let The Web server acquires the content input from the administrator PC (S536) and stores the content in the distribution schedule table T8 of the database server 30 (S5).
38) and terminate the mail registration process.

(9) Operation of system when outputting electronic mail: FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the mail output processing of the database server 30 including a part of the mail creating means. That is, the electronic mail information is output from the database server 30. It should be noted that this flow is performed every predetermined time. First, the current date and time is read from the timer circuit 32a, and the delivery schedule table T8 is referenced to determine whether or not there is an email to be delivered (S602). For example, the date and time when this flow was executed last time is stored, and it is after the last date and time (except when it matches the previous date and time) and up to the current date and time (including when it matches the current date and time). Table T8 shows the mail ID corresponding to the delivery date and time
It is possible to determine that the condition is satisfied when the mail ID is acquired. If there is no e-mail to be delivered, this flow ends.

If there is an e-mail to be distributed, the corresponding mail ID is acquired from the distribution schedule table T8, and the e-mail delivery table T6 and the e-mail URL are acquired.
Information corresponding to the same mail ID is acquired from the table T7 (S604). Next, a process of including the acquired student ID, mail ID, and branch number in each acquired URL information is performed (S606). Then, like the URL information D2 shown in FIG. 3, URL information having a student ID, a mail ID, and a branch number is created. The email URL table T7
If the URL information is not stored in the
Perform processing to include student ID etc. in information. Then, FIG.
The expanded URL information having the student ID, the mail ID, and the branch number is created like the expanded URL information D13 indicated by. Furthermore, URL information (or expanded UR) that has a student ID, etc.
L information is encrypted according to a predetermined rule (S60)
8). Then, the e-mail title, e-mail text, URL information (or expanded URL information) including the student ID, e-mail ID, and branch number, and e-mail information together with its description (for example, the e-mail shown in FIG. 3 Information D3,
The electronic mail information D14 shown in FIG. 26 is created (S6).
10).

It should be noted that U is added to the electronic mail URL table T7.
When both RL information and expanded URL information are stored, the expanded URL information does not include the student ID and the like, and the expanded URL information is simply used as a reference material to refer to the corresponding second teaching material information. It is decided to make it information. Also, it is expanded in the email URL table T7.
When only the RL information is stored, the expansion URL information including the student ID, etc. is linked to the area displaying "Do this test in 10 minutes", and expanded when the area is clicked. The second teaching material information corresponding to the URL information may be output. Thus, the processing of S602 to S610 performed by the database server and the processing performed by the server and the administrator PC shown in FIG.
Accepts the input of address information, includes student identification data, etc. in the input address information, and creates e-mail information including the address information having these data to encourage viewing of teaching materials corresponding to the address information. Configure mail creating means.

After creating the e-mail information, the Web server acquires the group ID corresponding to the acquired mail ID from the e-mail URL table T7 and the student ID corresponding to the acquired group ID from the student classification table T4. The acquired e-mail address corresponding to the student ID is acquired from the student information table T2, and e-mail information is output to the student PC corresponding to the student sending the e-mail (S612). After that, the current date and time is acquired from the timer circuit 22a as the sending date and time, and the student sending confirmation table T9 stored in the information storage area stores, for each student ID, the mail ID + branch number, the converted URL information, the student ID, The student name and the acquired sending date and time are stored (S614). And the acquired mail ID
The administrator ID corresponding to the delivery schedule table T8
From the administrator table T1 to obtain the email address corresponding to the administrator ID, create information indicating that the email has been sent, and send the email to the administrator PC corresponding to the administrator who created the email. And output information to that effect (S6
16), and ends the mail output process. The administrator can then know that the email has been delivered. As described above, the processing of S612 to S616 constitutes a mail output means for outputting the created electronic mail information to the student computer corresponding to the student.

(10) Operation of the system at the time of outputting the teaching material: FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the learning material acquisition process of the student PC 60 and the teaching material output process of the Web server 20. In addition, the processing of the student PC is performed by the electronic mail program 42d.
And the function of the browser 42c. Student PC 6 to which an email was sent from the database server 30
0, when an operation for obtaining an email and displaying the content is performed, the email information is obtained and displayed (S
702). That is, the process of S702 constitutes mail display means. FIG. 29 shows an example of a display screen of an email displayed by the email information. In the figure, the electronic mail text 85a is displayed, and the URL information 85b to d having the encrypted student ID, mail ID, and branch number is displayed together with the corresponding description. Also,
When the expansion URL information is included, the expansion URL information 85e is also displayed.

Next, the click operation on the display area of the URL information 85b to 85d (or the expanded URL information 85e) is accepted (S704). Further, when the e-mail information includes the information for confirming the password, the operation input of the password is accepted (S706). This process
This is performed when the setting input for confirming the password is made on the mail creation screen shown in FIG. Only when the password input by operation matches the password stored in the electronic mail sending table T6, S70
The processing after 8 is performed. It is possible that the person trying to view the teaching material by clicking the URL information display area while viewing the e-mail may not be the student himself / herself who is the destination.
By confirming the password, it is possible to prevent such impersonation. After that, URL information (or development URL with student ID, mail ID, branch number)
A browsing request including information) is created and sent to the Web server (S708). Then, the URL shown in FIG.
A browsing request including URL information such as the information D5 is input to the Web server. As described above, in the processes of S704 to S708, the operation input for browsing the teaching material corresponding to the address information included in the e-mail information is accepted, and the browsing request including the same address information added with the student identification data is created. The browsing request transmitting means for transmitting is constituted.

The Web server obtains the browsing request from the student PC (S722). Then, the education support program is started from the corresponding URL, the ASP file corresponding to the URL information included in the browse request is read, and the mail ID, branch number, and student ID encrypted according to the processing program of the ASP file are predetermined. Decryption is performed according to the rule (S724). For example, the UR shown in FIG.
The L information D6 is obtained. Next, as will be described later in detail, processing (1) for each processing program corresponding to when the home page is opened is performed (S726). Furthermore, the UR
The teaching material information corresponding to the L information is acquired from the information storage area (S728). And the student PC that got the browsing request
The same teaching material information is output to (S730). Further, the current date and time is read from the timer circuit 22a and set as the date and time when the home page was opened (the output start date and time of the teaching material information), and the student ID and mail I are displayed in the student sending confirmation table T9.
The opening date and time is stored in association with D and the branch number (S73).
2). That is, the table T9 stores the output start date and time of the teaching material information, which is one of the access statuses of the teaching material information from the student PC, by student ID, by mail ID, and by branch number.

Explaining using the above-mentioned example, the URL information included in the browsing request is "http://www.xxx.au.jp/eng2/
chp1-1.asp… ”, the processing program of“ chp1-1.asp ”processes“ http://www.xxx.au.jp/eng2/chp1.
Output the "chp1-1.htm" file stored in the memory location "-1.htm". The student PC obtains the teaching material information from the Web server and displays the teaching material home page on the display (S710). For example, when you get the "chp1-1.htm" file, the HTM included in "chp1-1.htm"
Display data is created according to the L data and output to the display. Therefore, the student can browse the teaching material corresponding to the URL information included in the e-mail information.

When the operation input to close the home page is received, such as the click operation of the end button, a request for ending the browsing of the teaching material is made and sent to the Web server (S712), and the teaching material input processing is finished. . It should be noted that even when an operation input for opening another home page is received while the teaching material information is displayed, a request for ending teaching material browsing is created and sent, and the process returns to S706. That is, the processing of S710 to S712 constitutes the teaching material display means. The Web server obtains the termination request from the student's PC (S734), and according to the processing program of the ASP file, the processing by program (No. 2) corresponding to when the home page is closed will be described later (S736). ). Then, the current date and time is read from the timer circuit 22a and is set as the date and time when the homepage is closed (the output end date and time of the teaching material information), and the date and time when the student sending confirmation table T9 is associated with the student ID, the mail ID, and the branch number. Is stored (S738), and the teaching material output process ends. That is, the table T9 has a student PC.
The date and time when the output of the teaching material information, which is one of the access statuses to the teaching material information from, is stored for each student ID, each mail ID, and each branch number. In this way, S722 to S724,
In the processes of S728 to S734 and S738, the browsing request including the address information including the student identification data is obtained from the student computer, and the teaching material information corresponding to the address information is stored in the information storage area by the processing of the processing program. A teaching material output means for acquiring and outputting the same to the student computer is configured.

(11) Operation of system at the time of creating educational support information: FIG. 30 shows a process of acquiring support information of the manager's PCs 40 and 50 and a process of creating support information of the Web server 20, which constitutes a part of the support information creating means. It is a flowchart showing. The PC for the administrator can perform the above S by the operation input of the administrator.
When the education support information acquisition button provided on the menu screen displayed at 240 is selected, an education support information acquisition request is created and sent to the Web server. The web server is
When you get this request for education support information, the corresponding UR
Start the educational support program from L. The distribution schedule table T8 stored in the information storage area
A sent mail list screen that allows you to obtain a mail ID corresponding to the administrator ID from the student ID and to display a list of information related to e-mails sent by acquiring all the information corresponding to the same mail ID from the student sending confirmation table T9, etc. P for the administrator who created the data and obtained the request to obtain the educational support information
It is output to C (S822).

The administrator's PC obtains the list data of the information regarding the above-mentioned e-mail and displays the transmitted mail list screen on the display (S802). An example of the display screen is shown in FIG. The list 86a displayed on the screen displays a list of mail IDs, transmission dates of emails, titles of emails, and groups to which emails are sent. A reference button 86b is provided corresponding to each piece of information regarding the electronic mail. By accepting a click operation on the button 86b, the selection input of the electronic mail information is accepted (S804), and the input content, that is, the selection. The mail ID corresponding to the input electronic mail information is sent to the Web server (S80).
6). The web server acquires the mail ID input from the administrator PC (S824). Next, the information corresponding to the mail ID is acquired from the student delivery confirmation table T9, the educational support information for supporting the education of the same student is created for each student, and the administrator's PC that has obtained the request for the acquisition of the educational support information Is output to (S826). Here, since the access status to the teaching material information from the student PC is stored in the student sending confirmation table T9 for each student ID and each mail ID, the educational support information created from the information corresponding to the mail ID is the student. Separated.

The administrator PC obtains the education support information and displays the education support information display screen as shown in FIG. 32 on the display (S808). On the same screen, a list 87a of the mail ID, transmission date, title, and group of the selected electronic mail information is displayed, and educational support information 87b for each student is displayed as a list. The educational support information 87b is selected from the information stored in the student sending confirmation table T9 such as the date and time when the home page is opened (the output start date and time of the teaching material information) and the closing date and time (the output end date and time of the teaching material information). The information corresponds to the mail ID. Here, when a click operation on the analysis button 87c is accepted, an analysis item selection screen (not shown) is displayed. The screen is provided with a selection field in which a plurality of analysis items can be selectively input, and the selection input of the analysis item is accepted by accepting the selection input in the selection field (S810).
Then, the input content, that is, the selected analysis item is sent to the Web server (S812). We
The server b acquires the selected analysis item (S82).
8), analysis processing corresponding to the same analysis item is performed (S83).
0). Then, analysis result display screen data capable of displaying the analysis result is created, and the data is output to the administrator PC that has obtained the education support information acquisition request (S83).
2) End the support information creation process. PC for administrator
Acquires the data capable of displaying the analysis result and displays the analysis result display screen on the display (S81).
4). When another analysis item is selected and the analysis is executed, the process returns to S810 by a flow not shown, and when another analysis is not performed, the support information acquisition process is ended. As described above, by the processing shown in FIG. 30, the education support information for supporting the education of the same student is provided for each of the plurality of students based on the student identification data and the access status of the learning material information from the student computer. Can be created and output.

For example, when the “detailed information list” is selected and input on the analysis item selection screen, the administrator PC is shown in FIG.
A detailed information list screen as shown in is displayed. On the same screen, a list 88a composed of mail ID + branch number, student name, reference time of teaching material information (browsing time of homepage), relative evaluation, and other information is displayed. The "other information" is information stored in the student sending confirmation table T9, and is information that is appropriately created and stored in the table T9 when the processing (1 and 2) for each processing program is performed. is there.

Regarding the “reference time” and the “relative evaluation”,
The Web server is displayed as a result of performing the analysis process shown in FIG. 34 in S830. That is, from the student sending confirmation table T9, the "open date and time" (the output start date and time of the teaching material information) and the "closed date and time" (the output end date and time of the teaching material information) corresponding to the selected mail ID are classified by branch number and by student. It is acquired (S842). Next, the reference time of the teaching material information for each student is calculated by subtracting the "opening date and time" from the "closing date and time" (S844). The average time and standard deviation of the calculated reference time for each student are calculated (S
846). Then, a relative value (relative evaluation) representing the relative length of the reference time is calculated based on the calculated average time and standard deviation (S848). For example, the reference time is converted into a score of 100 points according to a predetermined rule, and the deviation value is calculated as a relative value in S848 using the average time and the standard deviation. Then, the calculated reference time / relative value and student I
The detailed information list screen data including the reference time and the relative value is created as an analysis result in association with D (S850),
The analysis process ends. After that, in S832, the analysis result is output to the administrator PC. In this way, another example of creating educational support information classified by student with a simple configuration can be provided. As a result, the administrator can input the learning material information by referring to the reference time of the learning material information classified by student, or by inputting e-mail information such as URL information corresponding to appropriate learning material for each student. In addition, it becomes possible to provide appropriate teaching materials. For example, by comparing the educational field of the teaching material provided by e-mail and the browsing situation of the student, it can be seen that this student often looked at the teaching material of this student, and the student's strengths and weaknesses were identified. It is possible to estimate. In addition, it is possible to identify students who are interested or have poor answers. Therefore, it becomes possible to sufficiently inform the academic staff in charge of preparing teaching materials of the needs of students.

When "frequency by reference time" is selected and input on the analysis item selection screen, the administrator PC is shown in FIG.
The frequency screen for each reference time as shown in is displayed. On the same screen, a display field 89a is displayed which indicates the distribution of the reference time of all the students corresponding to the selected mail ID by the frequency in minutes. In this case, the Web server counts the number of students by calculating the reference time for each student for all the students by the above-described processing and acquiring the information about the students falling within each range of the reference time divided by the predetermined range for each range. Then, create the frequency screen data for each reference time as the analysis result, and
The process of outputting to C is performed. Reference time display area 8
When 9b is clicked, the Web server displays a list of information about students in that time zone. In addition, the average time and standard deviation of the reference time are calculated, and information such as whether it is shorter than the average time or what percentage is in the top is displayed, and a list of information about the corresponding students is displayed and downloaded to the administrator's PC. Can also be executed. As described above, when the present system 100 is used, various analyzes can be performed by using the information indicating the access status from the student PC, and the analysis result can be obtained for each student or for all students. It is possible to provide more appropriate teaching materials for.

(12) Operation of the system when another e-mail is created: FIG. 36 is a flow chart showing the reference order check process which is an example of the process (1) for each process program of S726. This flow is "check_sequence"
This is done when the program is entered as a processing program. First, it is determined whether the branch number (reference order data) decoded in S724 is 2 or more (S90).
2). If the branch number is smaller than 2, there is no error in the browsing order of the homepage, and this flow is ended. When the branch number is 2 or more, the student sending confirmation table T9 is referred to, S72
The mail ID + branch number corresponding to the student ID and mail ID decrypted in 4 are acquired (S904). Next, it is determined whether the acquired branch number includes a branch number smaller by 1 than the branch number decoded in S724 (S906). If the conditions are satisfied, the browsing order is correct, so this flow ends.

If the condition is not satisfied, the browsing order is not correct. Therefore, the e-mail information is created by the mail creating means, and the e-mail information is decrypted by the mail outputting means in S724. It is output to the student PC corresponding to the student ID (S908). Then, the student ID and mail ID of the student sending confirmation table T9
The information indicating that another e-mail has been sent is stored in the "other information" corresponding to the branch number (S910), and this flow ends. For example, the decrypted student ID is “0001”, the mail ID + branch number is “e002-3”, and the mail ID + branch number “e002-2” corresponding to the student ID “0001” is in the student sending confirmation table T9. If it is not stored, the condition is not satisfied in S906, and e-mail information to the effect that "Please browse the homepage in order" is created and output, and information such as "reference order error" is stored in the table T9. As described above, in the process shown in FIG. 36, a plurality of learning material information is referred to in the reference order based on the reference order data and student identification data included in the acquired browsing request and the access status to the learning material information. It is determined whether or not there is, and when it is determined that they are not referred to in the reference order, the support information creating means is configured to create another piece of electronic mail information indicating that it is not in the viewing order. As a result, the student can know the fact that he / she does not browse the teaching materials in the browsing order, and the student is prompted to browse the teaching materials in the browsing order. This system is convenient.

FIG. 37 is a flow chart showing the reference time-specific mail creation processing, which is an example of the processing program-specific processing (No. 2) in S736. This flow is "close_
This is done when the "if" program is entered as the processing program. First, from the information in which all the student IDs, mail IDs, and branch numbers are decrypted in S724, "opening date and time" (starting date and time of outputting teaching material information) and "closing date and time" (ending date and time of outputting teaching material information) ) Is acquired and the “opening date and time” is subtracted from the “closing date and time” to calculate the reference time of the teaching material information from the student PC that referred to the teaching material information (S922). The reference time is the browsing time of the home page of the student corresponding to the student ID decrypted in S724. Next, it is determined whether the calculated reference time is longer than the predetermined time (S924). Of course, it may be possible to determine whether or not it is a predetermined time or more. When the reference time is less than or equal to the predetermined time, the e-mail information indicating that the browsing time of the homepage is within the time limit is created by the mail creating means, and the e-mail information is decrypted by the mail output means in S724. Is output to the student PC corresponding to (S926), and this flow ends.

On the other hand, when the reference time is longer than the predetermined time, another e-mail information indicating that the browsing time is exceeded is created by the mail creating means, and the e-mail information is decrypted by the mail outputting means in S724. Output to the student PC corresponding to the student ID (S928). Figure 38
Is an email 91a composed of the email information.
Shows an example. As shown in the figure, the URL information 9 corresponding to the teaching material information is also included in the separately output e-mail information.
It is possible to include 1b. It is the processing program (processing program 91c of FIG. 38) input on the mail creation screen of FIG. 24 that realizes the processing that enables display of this electronic mail. Then, by performing an operation input on the mail creation screen according to the flow shown in FIG. 23,
By the mail output process shown in FIG. 27, another electronic mail information including URL information having a student ID or the like can be created. In the processing program 91c of FIG. 38, when the reference time of the teaching material information becomes longer than 10 minutes, the e-mail information corresponding to the mail ID "mailID1" is created and output, and is composed of the same e-mail information. The electronic mail 91a will be shown in the upper part of the figure.
In this way, it is possible to include the address information corresponding to the teaching material information different from the teaching material information corresponding to the input address information also in the other e-mail information, and the address information also corresponds to the student information. It is possible to include identification data and the like. As a result, it is possible to introduce an appropriate teaching material homepage for each student according to the access situation to the teaching material information, so this system is convenient. Of course, the same applies to other electronic mail information created in the reference time-specific mail creation processing of FIG.

After outputting the other electronic mail information, the information indicating that another electronic mail has been sent is stored in the "other information" corresponding to the student ID, mail ID and branch number of the student sending confirmation table T9 (S930). ), And this flow ends. For example, the "opening date" stored in the student sending confirmation table T9 is "2002/04/01 10:22:34", and the "closing date" is "2002/04/01 10:33:34". When the reference time is "0
0:11:00 ”(hours: minutes: seconds). And the predetermined time is 1
When it is 0 minute, it means that the browsing time has expired, and the e-mail information that composes the e-mail 91a shown in FIG. As described above, the processing shown in FIG. 37 is the support information in the sense that the reference time of the teaching material information from the student computer is calculated for each student and another e-mail information is created according to the calculated reference time. It constitutes the creation means.
As a result, the students can know that the browsing time of the teaching materials is too long, and the administrator can give an appropriate electronic resource according to the browsing time of the teaching materials for each student, such as giving the next task according to the study speed of each student. This system is convenient because it is possible to automatically send an email separately.

FIG. 39 is a flow chart showing the relative reference time-specific mail creation processing which is another example of the processing program-specific processing (No. 2) in S736. This flow is also
It is performed when the "close_if" program is input as the processing program. First, the "open date and time" and "closed date and time" are acquired from the information in which all the student IDs, mail IDs, and branch numbers that have been decrypted in S724 are acquired, and "closed date and time" to "opened date and time". By subtracting
The reference time of the teaching material information from the student PC that referred to the teaching material information is calculated (S942). Next, "open date and time" and "closed date and time" corresponding to the above mail ID are acquired from the student delivery confirmation table T9 for each branch number and for each student, and "opened date and time" is subtracted from "closed date and time". Thus, the reference time of the teaching material information for each student is calculated for all the students to which the same e-mail is sent, and the average time of the reference time is calculated (S944). Further, the reference time for the student with respect to the decrypted student ID calculated in S942 and S94
The average time calculated in 4 is compared to obtain the comparison result (S
946). After that, the e-mail creating means creates another e-mail information according to the comparison result, and the e-mail information is decrypted in S724 by the e-mail output means. Student ID
Is output to the student PC corresponding to (S948).
Then, information indicating that another e-mail has been sent is stored in the "other information" corresponding to the student ID, mail ID, and branch number of the student sending confirmation table T9 (S950), and this flow ends.

For example, the learning material information corresponding to the URL information included in a certain student's e-mail information is “11 minutes 00 seconds”.
Suppose you have referenced. When it is calculated that the average time for all students of the reference time of the teaching material information is “10:00”, the browsing time of the student is longer than the average time, and the email shown in FIG. In the same format as 91a, electronic mail information such as "Please refer to the easy-to-understand explanation" is created and output, and information such as "relative long time" is stored in the table T9. As described above, the processing shown in FIG. 39 constitutes a support information creating means for comparing the reference time for each student and the same average time and creating another e-mail information according to the comparison result. . As a result, it becomes possible for each student to automatically send an appropriate e-mail separately according to the relative length of the reference time of the teaching material information for each student. This system is convenient because the level of detail such as the following explanation can be adjusted by extracting the time taken for solving.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 40, another e-mail information may be created in combination with the standard deviation of the reference time of the teaching material information. Here, the reference time is H, the average time of the reference time H is Avg, and the standard deviation of the reference time H is σ. As shown in the figure, the reference time H
Is longer than the time obtained by adding 2σ to the average time Avg, another e-mail information 1 (for example, information indicating that the browsing time is very long) is created, and the reference time H is σ added to the average time Avg.
Time band divided by average time and standard deviation, such as creating another e-mail information (for example, information indicating that browsing time is slightly longer) when the time is longer than the time when 2σ is added and is less than or equal to 2σ You will be creating email information separately.
Then, it becomes possible to automatically and appropriately send an appropriate e-mail for each student according to the relative length of the reference time of the teaching material information among all the students.

By the way, another e-mail may be sent depending on the period after the e-mail is sent. FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing the mail output process by elapsed time of the database server 30. It should be noted that this flow is performed every predetermined time by using the timer circuit 32a. First, from the student delivery confirmation table T9, information in which "opening date and time" is not stored is acquired (S1002). Here, the table T9
If the "opening date and time" is not stored in the URL, the URL corresponding to the student ID, mail ID, and branch number included in that information
You have not obtained a browse request to browse the informational material. Next, while reading the current date and time from the timer circuit 32a, the "sending date and time" is acquired from the information in which the "opening date and time" is not stored, and the "opening date and time" information is subtracted from the current date and time. Is calculated (S100
4). Here, as for the “delivery date and time”, the e-mail information corresponding to the information in which the “opening date and time” is not stored is the student P
It is the date and time when it is output to C. Then, it is determined whether the calculated elapsed time is longer (or longer) than the predetermined period (S1006). When the elapsed time is less than or equal to the predetermined period, another flow of e-mail information is not created and this flow ends.

On the other hand, when the elapsed time is longer than the predetermined period, the e-mail creating means creates another e-mail information for prompting the user to browse the teaching material, and the e-mail output means creates the corresponding e-mail information in the student PC. Output to (S
1008). Then, information indicating that another e-mail has been sent is stored in the "other information" corresponding to the student ID, mail ID and branch number of the student sending confirmation table T9 (S101).
0), this flow ends. For example, it is assumed that the "opening date" is not stored in the information whose "delivery date" of the student delivery confirmation table T9 is "2002/04/01 01:00:00". When the current date and time is "2002/04/08 02:00:00" and the predetermined period is 7 days, it means that the predetermined period has passed, and the same as the e-mail 91a shown in FIG. 38. Create and output e-mail information with the configuration, table T
9 stores information such as “elapse of a predetermined period”. Thus, the processing shown in FIG. 41 constitutes support information creating means in the sense of creating another piece of e-mail information that prompts the user to browse the teaching material when the elapsed time is equal to or greater than the predetermined period or longer. . As a result, the student will know that he / she has not viewed the corresponding teaching material after receiving the e-mail, and the administrator will e-mail the student who is behind the scheduled progress of the class by e-mail. Because you can
This system is convenient.

The information stored in the "other information" of the student sending confirmation table T9 by performing the processing of FIGS. 36, 37, 39 and 41 described above is the administrator PC shown in FIG. Is displayed as education support information on the detailed information list screen of. That is, since the administrator can obtain various educational support information created according to the access situation to the teaching material information for each student, referring to these educational support information, the e-mail information including the URL information By inputting various information and various teaching material information from the administrator's PC, it is possible to provide appropriate teaching materials for each student in detail. Although not performed in this embodiment,
For example, a system may be added to this system in which when a student browses a homepage, the student is automatically charged and paid to the administrator. In addition, a mechanism may be added to this system in which when an administrator sends an electronic mail, the administrator is automatically charged and paid to the system provider.

As described above, according to the present invention, according to various aspects, the student identification data and the like included in the browsing request obtained from the student computer and the access status to the teaching material information from the student computer. It is possible to obtain useful educational support information created for each student based on the above, and to output appropriate teaching material information that enables the teaching material to be displayed on a computer that is capable of two-way communication. It becomes possible to provide teaching materials. Also,
Processing such as automatically sending another appropriate e-mail to students according to the browsing time of the teaching material home page, the order of browsing the teaching material home page, the elapsed time after sending the e-mail, etc. By inputting the program, it is possible to freely decide the processing when the display area of the URL information included in the e-mail information is clicked, and the present education support system is convenient. This system is also convenient in that e-mails can be sent to the students in groups for classifying the students. Needless to say, even if the e-mail is sent to each student individually, it is possible to obtain the educational support information classified by student and provide appropriate teaching materials for each student. Further, the administrator operates and inputs the expansion URL information to cause the students to refer to the different teaching material information stored in the information storage area outside the present system, and according to the access situation to the teaching material information This system is also convenient in that it can obtain educational support information. In addition, since various identification data included in the URL information is encrypted and transmitted, the identification data is not leaked to the outside, and unauthorized access is prevented. As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a useful educational support device, educational support system, educational support program and its medium. Of course, it can also be applied as an educational support method.
