    Note that the numbers in parentheses are for the sake of convenience indicating the corresponding elements in the drawings, and therefore the present description is not limited to the descriptions on the drawings.

    Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state where an example of a perforated question creation apparatus to which the present invention is applied is connected to a network, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a sentence problem, and FIG. 3 is a diagram of FIG. The figure which shows a mode that an answer hole is set to the original. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a holed problem displayed on a display. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of an answer to a holed problem. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display example of scoring results for the answer example shown in FIG.

    As shown in FIG. 1, a perforated question creation scoring device 1, which is a perforated question creation device, has a main control unit 2, and the main control unit 2 is controlled by input / output via a bus line 3. The unit 5, the question sentence registration memory 6, the question sentence processing unit 7, the question memory 9, the correctness / incorrectness determination unit 10, the problem progress control unit 11 and the question creation control unit 12 are connected. The perforated question creation scoring device 1 is connected to a communication network 13 such as the Internet or a LAN via an input / output control unit 5, and the communication network 13 includes a large number of unspecified terminal devices such as mobile terminals and personal computers. 15 is provided so as to be connectable to the perforated question creation scoring apparatus 1 via the communication network 13.

    The holed problem creation scoring device 1 shown in FIG. 1 expresses the functions performed by the device in a block form, but these are usually provided with a CPU, a main storage device, an auxiliary storage device, and the like. By causing a computer to execute a predetermined program, it is executed in the form of multitasking. That is, the computer executes a function corresponding to each block constituting the perforated question creation scoring device 1 in a time-sharing manner based on the command of the program. However, as shown in FIG. 1, it is naturally possible to configure the perforated question creation scoring device 1 by arranging hardware corresponding to each part.

    Since the perforated question creation scoring device 1 has the above-described configuration, when creating a perforated question using the perforated question creation scoring device 1, the problem creator (operator) first needs The terminal device 15 is operated to log into the perforated question creation scoring device 1 through the communication network 13. At this time, in the perforated question creation scoring device 1, in order to confirm whether the operator of the terminal device 15 that has logged in is a genuine operator registered in the perforated question creation scoring device 1, Request input of ID, password, etc.

    An operator who has successfully logged in operates the terminal device 15, first inputs the original GB of the perforated problem that he / she wishes to create in the form of text data, and passes through the communication network 13. It is sent to the perforated question creation scoring device 1.

    In the perforated question creation scoring device 1, the original text GB sent from the terminal device 15 via the input / output control unit 5 is stored in the question text registration memory 6 with the operator's ID information added. Information input to the perforated question creation scoring device 1 by the operator in the question sentence registration memory 6 is individually stored in the ID holder dedicated to the operator, and the information is stored for other operators. Information is managed so as to be kept secret. The original GB input by the operator is output to the operator's terminal device 15 again from the perforated question creation scoring device 1 side at an appropriate time or in response to a request from the operator's terminal device 15, and the display 16 It is displayed as shown in FIG. Immediately after the original text GB is registered in the perforated question creation scoring apparatus 1, the original text GB is still displayed on the terminal device 15, so that the perforated question creation scoring apparatus 1 is registered in the question text registration memory 6. The original GB is matched with the original GB displayed on the terminal device 15 together with the operator's ID information, and the original GB is displayed on the display 16 as it is.

    In this way, after inputting the original text GB, the operator operates the terminal device 15 and outputs a problem creation start signal S1 indicating that a holed problem will be created to the holed problem creating scoring device 1. . In response to this, the main control unit 2 of the perforated question creation scoring device 1 starts the question creation control for the terminal device 15 to which the question creation start signal S1 is output. To Note that the operation of inputting the above-described original GB from the terminal device 15 to the perforated question creation scoring device 1 may be performed at a different time from the perforated question creation operation described below. That is, the operator collects a large number of original sentences GB in advance and registers them from the terminal device 15 in the problem sentence registration memory 6 of the perforated problem creation scoring apparatus 1 together with his / her ID information. Then, when the operator starts creating a perforated question, the user logs in to the perforated question creation scoring device 1 and has the ID information attached thereto, that is, reads the original GB registered by the user, The original text GB to be used for creating a problem may be selected from among them, and may be downloaded and displayed on the terminal device 15.

    In any case, the original text GB that the operator can create a perforated problem is only the original text GB registered by the operator, and the original text GB in the problem text registration memory 6 registered by another operator is accessed. It is controlled so that it cannot be created and a perforated problem cannot be created.

    When creating a perforated question, the question creation control unit 12 uses a cursor or the like to place the answer hole 17 on the original text GB displayed on the display 16 with respect to the terminal device 15 via the communication network 13. An instruction is given on the display 16 in the form of text (or an instruction by voice using a speaker of the terminal device 15 or the like) so as to be designated using the display command means. Upon receiving the instruction, the operator appropriately operates the mouse or the like, and as shown in FIG. 3, a place (part of the sentence) where the answer hole 17 is to be set for the original sentence GB displayed on the display 16 is displayed. Specify in the form of underline or area specification.

    When the region designation by the operator is completed and the place where the answer hole 17 is desired to be set is designated on the original GB, the operator operates the terminal device 15 to send the setting completion signal S2 via the communication network 13. Output to the open question creation scoring device 1. In response to this, the problem creation control unit 12 takes in the data of the original text GB displayed on the terminal device 15 (the operator operates the terminal device 15 to input the data of the original text GB into the perforated question creation scoring device 1. The position of the answer hole 17 designated by the operator on the original sentence GB is determined on the original sentence GB.

    When the position of the answer hole 17 designated by the operator on the original sentence GB is determined, the determination result is output to the question sentence processing unit 7 and the problem sentence processing unit 7 is instructed to create a question sentence. . In response to this, the problem sentence processing unit 7 sets an answer hole 17 composed of a blank rectangular figure in the part designated by the operator, that is, the part where the installation position is determined, as shown in FIG. At the same time, a process of associating the character written in the answer hole 17 with the answer hole 17 as the correct answer data DT for the answer hole 17 is performed. Such a process is performed for the number of answer holes 17 designated by the operator, and the number of answer holes 17 designated by the operator in the original GB is set at the position designated by the operator, and a problem QS is created. Thus, the created question QS and the correct answer data DT corresponding to each answer hole 17 are stored in the question memory 9 together with the operator ID information.

    Thus, when the question QS is created by the operator and stored in the question memory 9, the task of creating the question by the operator is finished.

    Next, when presenting the question to the respondent and taking the test, the terminal device 15 operated by the respondent is connected to each terminal device 15 via the question progress control unit 11 of the perforated question creation scoring device 1. The problem QS stored in the problem memory 9 is output via the communication network 13 and displayed on the display 16 of each terminal device 15 as shown in FIG. At this time, the problem progress control unit 11 displays on the display 16 of the terminal device 15 a prompt to “operate the terminal device 15 and input an answer to the answer hole 17”. As shown in FIG. 5, the device 15 is operated to input an answer AS that seems to be correct to each answer hole 17 of the question QS.

    When the answerer outputs the input end signal S3 to the perforated question creation scoring device 1 after the input of the answer AS is completed, the main control unit 2 scores the question QS with respect to the correctness determination unit 10. Command.

    In response to this, the correctness determination unit 10 takes in the question QS in which the respondent wrote the answer AS from the terminal device 15 operated by the respondent via the communication network 13 (the respondent operates the terminal device 15 and operates the terminal device 15). The question QS with the answer AS entered may be output to the perforated question creation scoring apparatus 1), and the question QS with the answer AS entered is scored. The scoring is performed by comparing the correct answer data DT of the corresponding question QS stored in the question memory 9 with the answer AS entered in each answer hole 17 by the respondent. A scoring process for “incorrect answer” is performed, and the result is displayed on the display 16 of the terminal device 15 of the respondent as shown in FIG. At this time, the ratio of correct answers to the total number of answer holes 17 may be displayed as “score”. Further, the “correct answer” and “incorrect answer” in each answer hole 17 may be displayed with symbols such as “circle” and “cross” as shown in FIG.

    When creating a perforated question with respect to the perforated question creation scoring device 1 or when taking (solving) a perforated question, the terminal device 15 side starts from the perforated question creation scoring device 1. In response to the instructions, all the processes such as creating a specific question QS, setting the answer hole 17, and scoring are done by simply inputting the original GB of the question or inputting the answer. Since it is performed on the device 1 side, no special software is required on the terminal device 15 side, and any device that can send character information to the communication network 15, such as a commercially available personal computer or mobile phone, Any device can be used immediately without downloading any special software.

    In addition, since the respondent and the operator are not hindered from being the same person, create a perforated question by yourself for training your own memory or for learning, and answer your question yourself It is of course possible to use a device.
