Description

The present invention relates to an online research and education support system, and in particular, focuses on the difference between a human structural thinking method and a knowledge structuring method using a computer, and a document that can be edited simultaneously by multiple users based on both. The present invention relates to an educational and research support system that can interactively create documents such as research and development and achievements equipped with a creation system in real time.

When users collaborate in a networked environment between devices, when communicating and exchanging opinions, clearly express relevant statements against input that other users have already entered, Alternatively, it is desirable that all relevant users understand the research by creating a coherent text as a whole by constructing text that is as relevant as possible in a collaborative environment. It is desirable that can also be applied.

When multiple users conduct research concurrently on a specific research, it is desirable to exchange opinions and complete the research collaboratively.

Researchers have different knowledge and motivation for research on a specific research theme, and in addition to the amount of knowledge in related fields owned by users, It is possible that the amount of utterances is different, and when discussing using a terminal connected via a network in a remote location, etc., it is possible to save the record of the discussion as a document file. It is a general fact that it is difficult to view fragmentary knowledge as a set of structured documents and collections.

Although it is necessary to share knowledge and develop research through document structuring and restoration by organizing user's fragmentary utterance content and past recorded utterance content, and documenting based on it, conventional document creation support In an online knowledge sharing system using a network, it is not possible to provide a mechanism with a function that enables them to provide a user with a sufficient effect.

Many of the methods used in collaborative document creation are less specialized in research and educational activities. At the same time, they use methods based on simple conversational recordings. A document creation method specializing in document input and recording methods and research and educational activities devised based on Japanese thinking and writing activities, that is, to complete a certain object cooperatively rather than simply speaking Introduction is desirable.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-184687 is a software document creation system that uses the hierarchical structure and relationship of software documents. However, the relationship between document contents is simply related to document chapters and sections, sections and paragraphs, paragraphs and paragraphs, etc. A device that can create a document while defining hierarchically easily is created, such a relation is automatically generated in the upper layer by a change in the lower layer, and this is maintained even when it is changed or deleted. It is only provided with a relationship management device to obtain, and is not intended to change the structure of a document group in units of sentence paragraphs. It cannot be realized by an invention such as 11-184687.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-58722 is available as a research support method and a research content proposal method, which are displayed on a terminal device of a viewer who wants to browse research proposal information proposed by a research proponent and including research subjects of the research proposer. Then, when the viewer browses, the browser identification information that can identify the viewer is transmitted from the terminal device of the viewer, the support request information indicating that the viewer wishes to support research, and the viewer identification Information is only displayed on the research proponent's terminal device, and it has not yet reached the point of collaboratively producing a document or paper, and the knowledge or text input by multiple users. There is no place for discussions on subjects and subjects, and it is impossible to effectively carry out collaborative and collaborative research activities in places where there is no user status.

Therefore, it is related to the online research and education support system, especially focusing on the difference between the human structural thinking method and the knowledge structuring method using a computer, and a document creation system that can be edited simultaneously by multiple users based on both. An online research and education support system for effectively carrying out educational research through real-time and interactive creation of documents such as research and development and achievements equipped with is desired for users.
