Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an educational system using moving images.

[0002]

[Prior Art] In some cases, videos were used as teaching materials for new employee education. This video records possible situations in the actual workplace, showing them to the learner and letting the learner himself answer what to do when trouble occurs, for example. There was a method. Education using moving images such as videos has the advantage of making it easier for learners to understand the actual situation than simply reading a textbook. This method
Show the learner a scene in the daily scene of the workplace that requires action such as troubleshooting, and temporarily stop the video when a problematic situation occurs. The problem is to raise the problem. Then, the degree of understanding of the learner is evaluated based on the correct answer rate of the problem.

For example, in a store clerk's education at a retail store, when a customer is thinking about what to do in a situation where a customer is picking up various products and looking at them, he / she stops the image once and says, "In this situation now. , Choose the most appropriate response from the following. " Then, for example, "1.
Silently watch the situation. 2. "What are you looking for?" 3. Describe the product you have. , Etc. are shown. Such a problem may be displayed on the screen where the video is being watched, a printed matter may be prepared together with the answer sheet, or the instructor may ask the question verbally. I sometimes educate myself using videos that include the above problems in places.

[0004]

In the above method, when the learner comes to a scene where he / she must actually take action, the image stops or a question is displayed.
The learner may be able to answer correctly if he or she only remembers the content of the action that needs attention. In other words, if you remember that you have to do B in the situation of A, even if you can not judge that it is the situation of A now or when you should take action, you will get the correct answer. be able to. Therefore, although the learning can be performed and the correct answer can be obtained by the method as described above, there is a case where an appropriate response cannot be made at an appropriate timing at an actual site.

That is, the above learning system has a problem in that the degree of understanding of the learner cannot be properly evaluated. An object of the present invention is to provide an educational system that can more accurately evaluate the ability of the learner and can more effectively improve the learning effect in the educational system using moving images.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. This embodiment is an education system for educating a clerk of a game arcade such as a pachinko parlor. Figure 1
As shown in (1), in this educational system, a computer C having a display 1 for displaying a moving image for teaching material is connected to a teaching material providing means 2 via a communication means I such as the Internet. The computer C is an amusement hall-side device for conducting store staff education, and includes a processing means 3, a data storage means 4, and a position specifying means 5. The teaching material providing means 2 stores the teaching material data and sends the teaching material data to the computer C,
It has a function to send. This teaching material data includes a moving picture for teaching material including a problem and correct answer data for the problem, and these are transmitted to the computer C. However, the computer C and the teaching material providing means 2 may be provided in the same place, or may be provided in the same housing.

As in this embodiment, the teaching material providing means 2 is
If provided separately from the computer C, the computer C side can sequentially display the transmitted moving image data, and it is not necessary to store a large amount of image data by itself. In particular, if various kinds of teaching material moving images are stored in the teaching material providing means 2 and the computer C receives a specific teaching material as needed, various teaching materials can be provided without providing a large-capacity storage means. Can be used. Moreover, if a plurality of computers are connected to the communication means I, teaching materials can be similarly provided to each computer.

The processing means 3 of the computer C receives the data transmitted from the teaching material providing means 2 and displays it on the display 1, and stores the correct answer data of the teaching material in the data storage means 4. At the same time, the learner has a function of scoring the answers made to the teaching materials. Note that the learner is a person to be educated by this system. That is, in this embodiment, the clerk at the game hall is the learner.

The position specifying means 5 has a function of generating position data for specifying the position when the learner designates the position on the screen of the moving image displayed on the display 1. The position data is data necessary for specifying the action target described later. If this position data is used to specify the relative position within the entire video display area, even if the size or resolution of the display changes,
The position of the object on the screen can be accurately specified.

The teaching material data used in this embodiment will be described below. The moving image displayed on the display 1 shows the inside of the game arcade. For example, on the display 1, as shown in FIG. 2, a game table 6 and a table terminal 7 are alternately installed, and one island A in which a chair 8 is installed in front of each game table 6 is displayed. Here, an island is a row in which game stands are continuously installed. Although the customers are omitted in FIG. 2, the display 1 shows the appearance of the customers who are playing on the game table 6 in the island A. A calling lamp 9 that is turned on when calling a clerk is provided on the upper portion of the game table 6, and an empty ball box 10 is stacked on the island edge. Also, in front of the game table 6, the table 1
1 is provided, and the customer who is playing the game can place the ball box 12 containing the balls that he / she has won on the table 11.

[0016] The situation in which the learner has to take action is included as a problem in the moving picture displaying the situation in the game hall as described above. As an action that the clerk who is a learner must do, a big hit comes out during the game,
Take the empty ball box 10 on the island edge to the player who has run out of ball boxes to hold the acquired balls,
When a player who finishes a game has to carry a large number of ball boxes to a prize counter, he / she helps them.

In the above-mentioned teaching material, an object to which the learner should take action is set from among those displayed on the display, and a click point is embedded at a position corresponding to the object. For example, if you think that you have to do something about the game table 6, if you move the mouse pointer to a specific game table 6 on the display, a click point will be displayed, and if you click there, the learner will ,
It is considered that the action target is specified. What can be such an action target varies depending on the teaching material, but for example, the game table 6, the island box 10 at the island end, and the ball box 1 in front of the game table.
2, there is a calling lamp 9 and the like. In this embodiment, when the mouse pointer is moved to a specific place on the display 1, the click point is displayed, but the click point may not be displayed in some cases. As a result, the learner can be asked for the judgment power that is closer to the actual scene. Further, it is also possible to specify a specific portion with a finger or the like instead of the mouse.

On the other hand, an action content list corresponds to each of the above action objects. This action content list is displayed on the display 1 at the time when the learner specifies an action target, and further, an appropriate action content is selected from the list. The action list displayed on the display is shown in FIG.
~ There is something like that shown in FIG. Figure 3 is a ball box 1 on the island edge.
In the action content list displayed when 0 is the action target,
This list appears as a window 13 on a part of the screen.
The action content shown in this window 13 includes, for example,
There are "1. Arrange the ball box", "2. Carry the ball box to the game table", "3. Wipe the ball box and wipe it." The above-mentioned "1. Arrange the ball box" means that when the ball box 11 placed on the island edge is messed up, it is rearranged, and "2. "To carry" is the action to take when you find a gaming table with a big hit and there is no empty ball box in front of it. Furthermore, if the ball box is dirty, it is necessary to “3. wipe and wipe the ball box”.

Similarly, the window 14 in FIG. 4 is a list of action contents displayed when the calling lamp 9 is the action target, and the window 15 in FIG. 5 is the bead box 12 placed in front of the game table. If the target is the window 16 of FIG.
Is a window for displaying a list when the gaming table 6 is set as an action target. The action content list as described above is displayed each time the corresponding action target is specified.

Further, the correct answer data included in the teaching material data is shown in the table of FIG. That is, the correct answer data is data in which the time when the situation of the problem is displayed and the action to be taken in the situation are associated with each other in accordance with the progress of the moving image. And is stored in the data storage means 4. It should be noted that the time referred to here means the start time point of the moving image at 0:00:00.
h0m0s), and the elapsed time after that is the time. However, when the video is paused, the time is also stopped.

For example, in the correct answer data in the column 17 of the table shown in FIG. 7, the action target between the times 3m35s and 4m05s is "island end ball box", and the action content is "bring the ball box to the table." The correct answer data in column 18 is time 3m37s-4
The action target during the m27s is “calling lamp”, and the action content is “call out to the customer”. In addition, column 19
In the correct answer data, the action target at the time of 3 m45 s to 4 m25 s is "ball box in front of gaming table", and the action content is "put ball box on floor". In this way, the correct answer data that associates the time with the action target and the action content is stored in the data storage means 4. Note that the time of the correct answer data has a range because the time from when a problematic situation occurs to when the clerk notices the situation and takes action is taken into consideration.

The following situations correspond to the correct answer data. For example, in the correct answer data in the column 17, the gaming table 6 displayed on the display 1 is a big hit, the decoration lamp attached to the gaming table 6 is turned on, and further, the player turns on the calling lamp 9. It is in a state of being. In such a situation, the clerk must bring the empty ball box 10 (see FIG. 2) placed on the island edge to the gaming table where the jackpot is hit. Therefore,
The correct answer when this situation is displayed on the display 1 is the correct answer data in the above column 17.

If the reason why the call lamp is lit is not known, "call out to the customer" is the correct answer data, as in column 18 of FIG. 7, and the gaming table 6 of FIG.
When the box 11 containing balls is lined up on the table 11 in front of, the column 19 "Line up the box 12 on the floor"
It becomes correct answer data. In FIG. 8, as the action target of the correct answer data, the position data indicating the name of the target object but specifying the relative position in the screen where the action target is displayed is stored.

Next, the procedure in the education system using the above teaching materials will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
The flowchart shown in FIG. 9 mainly shows the data processing in the computer C. Unless otherwise specified, the processing of the processing means 3 is shown. Here, the computer C accesses the teaching material providing means 2 to request the required teaching material, and the processing means 3 causes the display 1 to display a moving image while receiving the required teaching material. The correct answer data corresponding to the teaching material to be displayed is received from the teaching material providing means 2 and stored in the data storage means 4 before the moving image is displayed.

In step S1, display of a moving image is started and time measurement is started. As described above, the time is the time measured only during the reproduction of the moving image, with the start time of the moving image being 00:00. In step S2, when the action target is designated by the learner on the display, the process proceeds to step S3. When the action target is not designated, the process returns to step S2 to continue displaying the moving image.

When the action target is designated, step S3
Now, stop displaying the video and stop measuring time. At this time, a still image is displayed on the display 1. In step S4, the position specifying means 5 generates the position data of the action target position designated on the display,
Input to the processing means 3. In step S5, the processing means 3
However, the input position data and the time, that is, the time when the learner specifies the action target are associated with each other and stored in the data storage means 4 as the response data.

In step S6, the action content list corresponding to the position data is displayed. The action content list displayed here is associated with each action target. The action target and the action content list may be associated with each other in any way, but in this embodiment, they are associated with each other via position data. That is,
The teaching material data includes data in which the action content list is associated with the position data of the action target displayed at each time. However, in the displayed video, the game table 6 and the ball box 1
If the display position does not change, such as 0, it is sufficient to associate the position data with the action content list regardless of the time.

Next, in step S7, the process waits until the action content is selected from the action content list, and when the action content is selected, the process proceeds to step S8. After displaying the action content list, a time for accepting selection of the action content may be set, and when the time has passed, the content list may be stopped and the continuation of the video may be displayed. . In step S8, the action content selected by the learner is added to the response data and stored in the data storage means. The answer data is, as shown in the table of FIG. 9, the time when the action target is designated,
It is data in which the action target and the action content are associated with each other. Although it is shown as an action target in this table, it may be position data of the action target.

In step S9, the display of the moving image and the time measurement are restarted. In step S10, the end of the moving image is determined, and when it is not completed, the process returns to step 2, and the above steps are repeated. When the moving image is completed, the process proceeds to step S11 to stop the display of the moving image and the time measurement. .
In step S12, the answer data of the learner and the correct answer data are compared and evaluated, and in step S13 the result is displayed on the display 1 or printed,
It ends (step S14). In this example,
Although the moving image is temporarily stopped when the action target is designated on the display 1, the moving image may be continuously streamed.

The evaluation of the answer data is performed by comparing the correct answer data shown in FIG. 7 with the answer data shown in FIG. Specifically, in the column 20 of FIG. 9, time = 3m42s,
It is determined whether or not the answer “action target =“ Tama box at Shimabata ”” and action content = “carry the box” is included in the correct answer data in FIG. 7. Correct point 1 is given. As shown in FIG. 7, in column 17, time =
3m35s to 4m05s, action target = “island edge ball box”,
Action content = The correct answer data of "carry a ball box to the game table" includes the above answer data, so the answer in column 20 is:
It is judged to be correct and point 1 is given. Similarly, the correct answer point 1 is added from the answer in the column 21 in FIG. 9 and the correct answer data in the column 18 in the data diagram 7.

On the other hand, since there is no correct answer data corresponding to the answer data in the column 22 of FIG. 9, 1 point is deducted. In this way, the correctness of all the answers is judged and the score is given. Then, the scoring result is output as the result of the learner's ability evaluation. However, the correctness determination method, scoring criteria, etc.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, if you give points corresponding to the answer data that matches the correct answer data and make a wrong answer, you will not be deducted, or you will not make a wrong answer, but if you do not answer where you should answer It can be set according to the system, such as whether to deduct points.

Further, in this embodiment, if the learner makes a correct selection within a specific time, the correct answer point 1 is given, but depending on the time until the correct answer is given,
It is also possible to change the number of points given. Further, as a teaching material, it may be possible to make a problem that only the action target is answered and the action content does not matter. In that case, it is not necessary to store the action content list, and the correct answer data does not include the action content.

Further, in this embodiment, one action target is associated with the same action content list. For example, if the call lamp is specified as the action target,
This means that the action content list window 14 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed regardless of the displayed situation. In this way, the one-to-one correspondence between the action target and the action content list is for the learner to deal with various scenes.
This is because the most suitable action content is selected on the spot from the action content. However, different action content lists may be displayed for the same action target depending on the scene.

In this embodiment, all the answer data of the learner is stored and the answer is evaluated after the display of the moving picture for the teaching material is finished.
For each answer input, the correctness may be judged and displayed. Further, the image to be displayed next may be changed according to the correctness of the answer. Further, the image to be displayed next may be changed depending on the action target and the action content designated by the learner. For example, when the learner selects the gaming table, the image is switched to the image viewed from the front of the gaming table, or when the learner selects “bring the ball box to the gaming table”, the table 11 is displayed. Display the state that the ball box is placed up.

Note that the moving picture for teaching materials used in the educational system of the present invention includes a moving picture that is smoothly continuous like a video and a frame-by-frame image at intervals. In the case of frame-by-frame images, instead of specifying the scene by the time, it is possible to attach the image identification information to each frame and specify the scene by the image identification information. And
The correct answer data may be stored in association with the image identification information. If image identification information is attached to each frame and the progress of the moving image is managed, the correct answer data and the scene of the moving image can be easily matched even when the interval between the frames is changed and displayed.

In the education system of this embodiment described above, the learner must judge the timing at which he / she should take an action and select the action at that time. Therefore, the accurate determination ability including the timing is required. Can be trained. The education system of the present invention can be used not only for education of store staff at amusement halls but also for education of employees in various industries such as waitress education areas, customer service education at retail stores, and trouble countermeasures at factories. It is also a system that can be used in schools that teach drivers how to drive cars and how to create works.

The virtual position of the learner himself / herself may be displayed in the moving image for teaching material, and a screen corresponding to the position may be displayed. In particular, if the learner's position is related to judgment or behavior, displaying the virtual position of the learner so that the learner can change the position will make the situation more realistic. Can learn.

[0038]

According to the first to fifth aspects of the invention, in an educational system using a moving image, a learner takes action as to what action to take and when to do it. The ability to understand even the timing can be accurately evaluated. Moreover, the above-mentioned ability can be extended to the learner who has received this education.

The second invention is that the progress of the moving image
Since the image identification information is used for management, the correct answer data can be easily associated with the moving image even when the frame interval is changed and displayed. According to the third aspect, the position of the target on the screen can be specified regardless of the size and resolution of the display for displaying the moving image.

According to the fourth invention, the learner can also learn about concrete action contents. According to the fifth aspect, the learner can perform judgment training in a situation closer to reality. According to the sixth aspect, the learner can add more accurate judgment, and the instructor can evaluate it.
