  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[First embodiment]
An object of the present invention is to realize an educational SNS providing apparatus that improves the educational effect by changing the interactivity of communication between users according to the situation of other users.

(1) Education using SNS:
First, one case where SNS is used for education will be described.

  Participants and lecturers will discuss on SNS. For example, as a marketing course, the target of Happoshu newly released by a beer company (hereinafter referred to as “analyzed product”) is analyzed, and the task of predicting whether the analyzed product will hit is performed. Below, the implementation example in this case is demonstrated.

The student leader creates a thread on the SNS for each step of examining the problem presented by the lecturer. For this issue,
1) Thread for analyzing market situation 2) Thread for analyzing target of competitive product 3) Thread for analyzing target of analyzed product 4) Create four threads of thread to discuss whether to hit or not.

  First, in order to analyze the Happoshu market, students gather fact data (survey results from government agencies and research companies) in the market analysis thread and discuss what it means. At this time, the lecturer watches the discussion as appropriate and corrects the directionality when the discussion proceeds in the wrong direction. In addition, the lecturer makes a pass / fail decision for the final conclusion of the discussion. If the conclusion is acceptable, the student moves on to the next thread to discuss the next step. At this time, depending on the method and content of the investigation and discussion, a new idea or hypothesis may be reconsidered by returning to the previous step. For example, in the case of Happoshu, the analysis product is Happoshu, so the first thread analyzes the Happoshu market. However, when discussing whether or not to hit in the last thread, it may be noticed that whether or not to hit requires analysis of the beer market or the third beer market. In this case, returning to the first thread, the beer market and the third beer market are analyzed. In this way, the SNS is used for education, such as creating a plurality of threads on the SNS and proceeding with the discussion in that thread.

  In the present invention, in the scene where the SNS as described above is used for education, the login state of the student and the lecturer and the browsing / writing state of the thread are visualized on the user terminal for efficient communication. In addition, the lecturer visualizes the login status and posting status of the student in order to understand the student's level of understanding and participation in the discussion, and to maintain and improve motivation.

(2) Educational SNS system configuration and processing outline:
FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the educational SNS providing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The educational SNS providing apparatus 100 includes a user interface unit 110, a user management unit 120, a content management unit 130, a terminal operation log management unit 140, a user DB 150, a content DB 160, and a terminal operation log DB 170. The present invention is characterized in that a terminal operation acquisition unit 112 is added to the configuration of the conventional SNS, a terminal operation history in the user terminal is acquired, and this is managed by the terminal operation log management unit 140.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of data in the user DB 150. The user DB 150 holds a user ID, a password, a user type, a user name, and a content ID that can be displayed for each user.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of data in the content DB 160. The content DB 160 holds content ID, type (thread / comment), parent content, content, creator ID, and creation time for each content.

  The user interface unit 110 is a module that runs on a Web browser of a user terminal, and includes a user interface management unit 111 (hereinafter referred to as a UI management unit) and a terminal operation acquisition unit 112.

  The UI management unit 111 displays a user interface for performing operations on the educational SNS, such as login processing, thread creation, and comment posting, to the user. The UI management unit 111 passes the action information to various means operating on the server side in accordance with the user's action. And the execution result of the various means by the side of a server is received, and the result is displayed on a user terminal.

  The terminal operation acquisition unit 112 acquires an access state and an operation state that the user performs on the educational SNS on the user interface.

  The operation in the above configuration will be described below.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the usage flow in the educational SNS. The detailed operation of each means will be described with reference to this usage flow. In the following description, the content is premised on the structure of “thread-comment”, but may have another structure such as “blog-thread-comment”.

Step 101) Login:
When a user first accesses the educational SNS using a Web browser, the UI management unit 111 displays a user ID and password input field on the user terminal. When the user inputs the user ID and password on the screen, the UI management unit 111 receives the information. The UI management unit 111 passes the received user ID and password to the user management unit 120.

  The user management unit 120 accesses the user DB 150 (FIG. 4 shows a registration example of the user DB 150), extracts user information based on the received user ID, and confirms whether the password is correct. If the password is correct, the information “authentication OK” and the “list of thread IDs accessible by the user” extracted from the user DB 150 are returned to the UI management unit 111. If the password is incorrect, information “authentication NG” is returned to the UI management unit 111.

  Upon receiving “authentication OK” and “thread ID accessible by the user”, the UI management unit 111 passes the “thread ID list” to the content management unit 130. The content management unit 130 accesses the content DB 160 (FIG. 5 shows a registration example of the content DB 160), and returns a thread title and summary information corresponding to the thread ID to the UI management unit 111.

  At the same time, the UI management unit 111 inquires the terminal operation log management unit 140 about the current logged-in user information. The terminal operation log management unit 140 accesses the terminal operation log DB 170, extracts the currently logged-in user ID, and returns it to the UI management unit 111. The UI management unit 111 obtains a corresponding user name by making an inquiry to the user management unit 120 based on the received user ID.

  As described above, the UI management unit 111 displays the thread title, the outline, and the name of the currently logged-in user on the user terminal. An example displayed on the user terminal is shown in FIG.

Step 102) Thread reference The user clicks on the thread title for which the content (comment) is to be displayed. The UI management unit 111 receives a thread ID corresponding to the clicked thread title. The UI management unit 111 passes the received thread ID to the content management unit 130. The content management unit 130 accesses the content DB 160 and returns a comment list associated with the received thread ID to the UI management unit 111.

  At the same time, the UI management unit 111 inquires of the terminal operation log management unit 140 and acquires the user ID displaying the clicked thread. Subsequently, the UI management unit 111 obtains a corresponding user name by making an inquiry to the user management unit 120 based on the user ID.

  As described above, the UI management unit 111 displays the comment list and the name of the user referring to the thread on the user terminal as a response to the click of the thread title of the user. A display example on the user terminal is shown in FIG.

Step 103) Posting comments:
The user displays a comment posting screen in order to post his thoughts on the read comment. At this time, the UI management unit 111 displays the name of the user currently writing a comment on the comment posting screen by making an inquiry to the terminal operation log management unit 140 and the user management unit 120.

  The comment posted by the user is passed to the content management unit 130 via the UI management unit 111. The content management unit 130 writes the received comment in the content DB 160. The content management unit 130 may pass the comment list at that time to the UI management unit 111 after the writing process. The UI management unit 111 displays a comment list on the user terminal together with “the name of the user who is currently browsing the thread” obtained by inquiring the terminal operation log management unit 140 and the user management unit 120.

Step 104) Create new thread:
The user creates a new thread to discuss any reason, such as a newly noticed problem. When creating a thread, for example, a thread name and thread summary information (for example, “Let's discuss XX in this thread”) are registered. At this time, a user who can access this thread may be specified.

  When the UI management unit 111 receives the thread name and the outline of the thread, the UI management unit 111 passes them to the content management 130. The content management unit 130 writes the received information in the content DB 160.

  Next, the terminal operation acquisition unit 112 of the user interface unit 110, which is a main part of the present invention, will be described. In the present embodiment, a case where the terminal operation acquisition unit 112 is realized as a part of the educational SNS Web content is taken up.

  The terminal operation acquisition unit 112 of the user interface unit 110 according to the present embodiment operates on a Web browser of the user terminal, and acquires an access situation and an operation situation that the user performs on the educational SNS. The terminal operation acquisition unit 112 can be realized as normal Web content by using a function called Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) of asynchronous communication. Therefore, it is not necessary to install a new application on the user terminal in order to obtain the effect of the present invention. In the case of an SNS that does not use Ajax, a screen switching event (access status) can be acquired, but the operation status of the user on the display screen cannot be grasped.

  In the present invention, by using Ajax for the terminal operation acquisition unit 112, not only the screen switching but also the operation status of the user on each screen is grasped. Thereby, for example, the time during which the screen is displayed can be accurately grasped. In addition, for example, even when a comment display of another user and a posting screen for a new comment are displayed on the same screen on a user terminal of a certain user, the user reads the comment of the other user. Or whether you are posting a comment.

  The terminal operation acquisition unit 112 sends the acquired information to the terminal operation log management unit 140. The terminal operation log management unit 140 writes the received information in the terminal operation log DB 170. FIG. 9 shows a registration example of the terminal operation log DB 170. The terminal operation log DB 170 stores a user ID, screen ID, operation ID, and time.

  Accordingly, by acquiring the terminal operation log information from the terminal operation log DB 170, the user information from the user DB 150, and the content information from the content DB 160 via the user interface unit 110, for example, if the instructor refers to the thread By writing short comments and expecting answers from the instructor, highly interactive communication can be realized. On the other hand, if nobody is referring to the thread, you can post your opinion after carefully summarizing your opinions.

  In this way, sharing the usage status of the user at that time in real time between users enables efficient communication as in group education, thereby improving the learning speed.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 10 shows a configuration of an educational SNS providing apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  The educational SNS providing apparatus 200 shown in the figure is the same as the educational interface SNS providing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment, except that the terminal operation acquisition unit 112 included in the user interface unit 110 is a component of the user interface unit 110. Removed from. In other words, the educational SNS providing apparatus 100 can acquire only operations for the educational SNS, whereas the educational SNS providing apparatus 200 can acquire all operations at the user terminal.

  A user terminal 20 shown in FIG. 1 includes a user interface 21 and a terminal operation acquisition unit 22. The user interface 21 includes a user interface management unit 211 (hereinafter referred to as a UI management unit).

  The terminal operation acquisition part 22 in this Embodiment is middleware installed in the user terminal 20, and acquires the operation which a user performs with the user terminal 20 by monitoring the event shown below.

-Application startup-Window focus-Mouse-Keyboard-File access The information acquired by the terminal operation acquisition unit 22 has the following three levels.

・ Level 1: Access operation to educational SNS by Web browser ・ Level 2: General operation of Web browser ・ Level 3: Application including Web browser As the level 1 information above, the situation of users for educational SNS As such, information such as “logging in”, “referencing thread A”, “commenting comment”, and the like are acquired. The above-described first embodiment is an example of acquiring information of only this level 1.

  The level 2 information corresponds to, for example, “Accessed a web site of XX with a web browser”, “Searched for the word xx with a web browser”, and the like.

  As Level 3 information, for example, information such as activation / termination of Microsoft PowerPoint (registered trademark, hereinafter referred to as PowerPoint), Microsoft Excel (registered trademark, hereinafter referred to as Excel), and activation of the corresponding screen is equivalent. To do. As a method for realizing this terminal operation acquisition means, there is a patent document “Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-310514” (Akimichi Tanaka et al., User Operation History Acquisition Display Device, User Operation History Acquisition Display Method, User Operation History Acquisition Display Program, and Program There are methods shown in FIG.

  The terminal operation acquisition unit 22 sends the acquired information to the terminal operation log management unit 240. The terminal operation log management unit 240 writes the received information in the terminal operation log DB 270. FIG. 11 shows a registration example of the terminal operation log DB 270. The terminal operation log DB 270 shown in the figure stores a user ID, application name, operation type, and the like.

Further, the terminal operation log management unit 240 associates an operation log other than the educational SNS with an operational log of the educational SNS. For example, when accessing the analysis thread of the Happoshu market,
-Searched with the search word "Happoshu Market"-Associate the search word and the URL of the accessed Web page with the thread in the educational SNS, such as having accessed the Web page XXX. Alternatively, the association may be performed not on the thread but on the comment.

Or, for example, when accessing the analysis thread for the Happoshu market,
・ Powerpoint is activated. ・ Excel operation is activated. Terminal operations other than Web browser may be associated with threads in the educational SNS. Moreover, you may link not with respect to a thread but with respect to a comment.

  The terminal operation log management unit 240 writes this association information in the terminal operation log DB 270. FIG. 12 shows an example in which associated threads are additionally stored in the terminal operation log DB 270.

  The UI management unit 211 acquires “frequently entered search terms” and “frequently referred web pages (URLs)” from the terminal operation log DB 270 via a terminal operation log management unit 240 when referring to a certain thread. To do. When displaying a comment list as thread information, the UI management unit 211 displays these “frequently entered search terms” and “frequently referenced web pages (URLs)” as recommended external information. May be. An example of the screen (comment list) is shown in FIG.

  Further, the UI management unit 211 may display a browser operation log of a specific user instead of recommended external information.

  By displaying these pieces of information, it has become possible for a student who has been craving at the entrance of the examination to “do not know what to check” in the past to start the examination relatively smoothly.

[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 14 shows a configuration of an educational SNS providing apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

  The educational SNS providing apparatus 300 shown in the figure includes a terminal operation log statistical processing unit 380 and a terminal operation log statistical DB 290 in addition to the existing components in the educational SNS providing apparatus 200.

  The terminal operation log statistical processing unit 380 acquires the data of the terminal operation log DB 370 via the terminal operation log management unit 340, performs statistical processing of the terminal operation log, and stores the following statistical data in the terminal operation log statistical DB 390. Store. FIG. 15 shows an example of the terminal operation log statistics DB.

○ Educational SNS access status for each user (1) Login status by day of the week / time (2) Comment posting status by day / time (3) Stay time by day / time (4) Educational SNS Leading wire ○ Association of educational SNS access status and Web browser operation (5) What Web site is referenced for a thread?
(6) What search terms are used for a certain thread?
○ Association of educational SNS access status and terminal operation (7) Which student is performing what terminal operation for a certain thread?
(8) What is the relationship between the terminal operation in (7) and the time spent on the site / number of posted comments?
Specifically, for example, in the case of obtaining the login status by day of the week / time according to (1) above as the statistical processing, a login operation record for each user is obtained from the terminal operation log DB 370, and login time information is obtained. And the calendar information and the matching day of the week are obtained, the number of records for each predetermined time period is counted, and stored in the terminal operation log statistics DB 390 as shown in FIG.

  Further, when the comment posting status by day of the week / time according to (2) is obtained, a record of comment posting operation for each user is acquired from the terminal operation log DB 370, and the same processing as (1) above is performed. It can be determined by doing.

  In addition, when obtaining the stay time for each day of the week / time of (3) above, a record of login operation and logout operation for each user is obtained from the terminal operation log DB 370, and the login time is subtracted from the logout time. The stay time of the corresponding user is calculated. The stay time information is associated with the login time information and stored in the terminal operation log statistics DB 390 as shown in FIG. This process is performed for all users.

  When obtaining the conductors in the educational SNS of (4) above, the terminal operation log for each user is extracted from the terminal operation log DB 370 and is sorted in order of operation time from login to logout as one set. This one set is stored as one record in the terminal operation log statistics DB 390 as shown in FIG.

  Further, when the above-mentioned (5) “What kind of website is being referred to for a certain thread?” Is obtained, the “operation for viewing the website with a browser” is determined for each thread from the terminal operation log DB 370. get. If the Web site viewed by the user in the corresponding thread is registered in the terminal operation log DB 390, the reference number of the corresponding record is increased by 1 (+1). If not registered, information “thread, Web site, reference count” is stored as shown in FIG. This statistical processing is performed for all threads.

  Further, in the case of obtaining “what search word is used for a certain thread” in (6) above, “searched keyword” is acquired for each thread from the terminal operation log DB 370. If the keyword searched by the user in the corresponding thread (“thread, search word”) is registered in the terminal operation log statistics DB 390, the search number of the corresponding record is increased by 1 (+1. If not registered, “thread” , “Search word, number of searches” is stored as shown in FIG. 15E. This statistical processing is performed for all threads.

  In addition, in the above-described (7), when “which student is performing what kind of terminal operation with respect to a certain thread” is determined from the terminal operation log DB 370 for each thread and each user. Obtain operation logs and calculate the time that each application was running. Thereafter, if the existing information (thread, user, application, activation time) is already stored in the terminal operation log statistics DB 390, the calculated activation time is added to the stored activation time, and the information is updated. If there is no corresponding record, the information (thread, user, application, activation time) is stored as shown in FIG. This statistical processing is performed for all threads and all users.

  In addition, it is not necessary to perform a new statistical process for the above-mentioned (8), “What is the relationship between the terminal operation of (7) and the time spent on the site / number of posted comments?”. For example, if the terminal operation log statistical information on (2) and (7) is displayed superimposed, (8) can be confirmed.

  The statistical processes (1) to (4), (7), and (8) are applied to the first embodiment, and the statistical processes (5) and (6) are applied to the second embodiment. Is possible.

  Further, as will be described later, the numerical value of the statistical information can be read from the terminal operation log statistical DB 390, converted into a bar graph, a line graph, or the like using the graph creation software and displayed.

  The types of statistical processing are not limited to the above (1) to (8), but the statistical information requested by the user is the user ID, screen ID, operation ID, etc. of the terminal operation log statistical DB 390. By using the user DB 350, the content DB 360, and the terminal operation log DB 370, various statistical information can be generated.

  By referring to (1) to (3), the instructor and the student can infer at what timing a comment is posted to the other party who wants to deliver the message.

Further, the instructor can grasp the movement status between threads by referring to (4). For example, there are many movements between threads.
・ In the first place, thread division is bad → There is a problem with the student leader who is the thread creator;
・ Unrecognized relationship with previous / next thread → There is a problem with the student member referring to the thread;
We can guess why. The instructor can find out where the problem is by grasping this information and then checking the corresponding thread.

  Further, by referring to (5) and (6), the instructor or the student can collect fact data and basic knowledge for solving the problem. FIG. 16 shows a screen example in which the UI management unit 311 displays the statistical data of (5) on the user terminal 30. There may be websites that are not included in your knowledge when the instructor looks up this information. It may be a new discovery, or the student may be referencing an inappropriate site. In the latter case, appropriate navigation can lead to an appropriate information source.

  In addition, the lecturer can guess the student's efforts and understandings by referring to (7) and (8). FIG. 17 shows a screen example of (7), and FIG. 18 shows a screen example of (8). For example, FIG. 18 shows that the C student has accessed the educational SNS, but the number of comment posts is 0, and there is no work on the terminal. From this, it can be inferred that “they are motivated to read the educational SNS, but do not know what to do”.

  In addition, it is understood that the B student has a large number of comment postings and a large educational SNS access time but a short browser activation time.
