  Each functional unit of the system in the present embodiment is configured by software. However, these may be configured by hardware or software and hardware cooperating. Further, the arrangement of the functional units is not limited to the above arrangement, and can be appropriately changed as long as the object of the present invention is achieved.

[Login process]
The processing mode of the education support system of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing during login.

  In the present embodiment, each functional unit is configured by software, and when the application for the education support system installed in the tablet computer is activated, the tablet computer is used for the teacher terminal 1 or the learner. It functions as the terminal 2. The same application is installed in the tablet computer used as the teacher terminal 1 and the tablet computer used as the learner terminal 2, and functions as the teacher terminal 1 according to the logged-in user. It may be configured to switch whether to function as the learner's terminal 2 or not.

  Therefore, when the above-described application is activated (# 01), the login screen 4 shown in the left diagram of FIG. A plurality of selection buttons 41 are displayed on the login screen 4. The selection button 41 includes a teacher selection button 41a for selecting a teacher, and a plurality of class selection buttons 41b for selecting a learner's class. When the teacher selection button 41a is touched (Yes branch of # 02), teacher names are displayed in a list, and a button corresponding to the teacher name as a user is selected from the displayed teacher names (# 03). Then, the tablet computer functions as the teacher terminal 1 (# 04). On the other hand, when the class selection button 41b is touched (No branch of # 02, Yes branch of N05), the login screen 4 is in a state where a plurality of learner selection buttons 41c shown in the right diagram of FIG. 4 are displayed. . On the other hand, the learner who is the user selects the learner selection button 41c corresponding to his / her name (# 06). Then, the tablet computer functions as the learner's terminal 2 (# 07).

  If the login screen 4 is configured in a hierarchical manner as described above, it is possible to avoid the login screen 4 from becoming complicated even when many learners and teachers share a tablet computer. This is effective when the learner is in a lower grade or when the operator is unfamiliar with the operation.

  Note that a direct input button 42 is displayed on the login screen 4. When the direct input button 42 is selected, a login process for inputting a login name and performing password authentication is performed. In this case, whether to function as the teacher terminal 1 or the learner terminal 2 is determined according to the login name that has been successfully authenticated.

  In addition, the faculty member has a lesson content registration section (not shown) for registering lesson contents (grade, class, etc.) prior to the start of the lesson. It can also be configured to switch login methods.

[Marking process on learner's terminal]
The flow of the marking process in the learner's terminal 2 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. First, when the marking button 51 is touched in a state where the display image as shown in the upper diagram of FIG. 5 is displayed (Yes branch of # 01), the learner's terminal 2 shifts to the marking mode. At this time, the display image information generation unit 21 and the marking information generation unit 22 generate display image information and marking information, respectively (# 02). At this time, the date and time when the marking button 51 is touched is set as the marking start date and time of the marking information. These pieces of information are transmitted to the management server 3 by the transmission unit 24 (# 03).

  In the marking mode, the learner can input markings on the display image. The learner can input the marking M through the touch panel T, for example, as shown in the lower diagram of FIG. 5 (# 04).

  The marking M and the display image are recorded on different off-screens, and the display image information generation unit 21 and the marking information generation unit 22 can acquire the display image and the marking, respectively, and generate display image information. Further, every time the input marking changes, the contents are updated, and the synthesized image synthesized by the synthesized image generating unit 23 is written in the VRAM and displayed on the display D. Note that the composite image generation processing is not limited to the above-described processing, and may be performed by other processing.

  As shown in the lower diagram of FIG. 5, in the marking mode, a marking end button 52 is displayed instead of the marking button 51. When the learner performs a marking operation on the display image in this marking mode, the display image information generation unit 21 and the marking information generation unit 22 generate display image information and marking information. The marking information can be generated at a predetermined timing such as every predetermined period when the marking operation is performed. When generating marking information for each predetermined period, the marking operation performed in a marking operation storage unit (not shown) is stored, and the marking information generation unit 22 is stored in the marking operation storage unit for each predetermined period. It is also possible to extract the marking operation to be performed and generate marking information based on the extracted marking operation. At this time, the marking operation includes the operation content related to marking, the date and time when the operation was performed, and the like.

  When the learner touches the marking end button 52 (Yes branch of # 05), the display image information generation unit 21 and the marking information generation unit 22 generate display image information and marking information, respectively, as necessary (# 06). . At this time, the date and time when the marking end button 52 is touched is set as the marking end operation date and time of the generated marking information. The generated display image information and marking information are transmitted to the management server 3 by the transmission unit 24 (# 07), and the marking mode ends.

[Learner status information generation processing on the management server]
When the management server 3 acquires display image information and marking information from the learner's terminal 2, the management server 3 stores them in a storage device (not shown) and manages them. As described above, since the display image information includes learner identification information, the management server 3 extracts these pieces of information for each learner terminal 2 or for each learner based on the learner identification information. can do. Naturally, if learner identification information is included in the marking information, such information can also be extracted for each learner terminal 2 or for each learner.

  The management server 3 determines the learner state of the learner who is using the learner's terminal 2 based on the marking information at a predetermined timing. That is, the management server 3 determines the degree of participation of the learner in the class. It should be noted that the predetermined timing can be a predetermined time or the time when the marking information or the like is acquired from the learner's terminal 2.

  The management server 3 first determines the degree of participation state of the learner using each learner's terminal 2 based on the presence or absence of the marking information received from each learner's terminal 2. .

  In the present embodiment, the degree of participation in the class is the degree of participation / non-participation in the class and the learner's willingness to learn.

[Judgment of participation / non-participation in class]
Learners who use the learner's terminal 2 receiving the marking information within a predetermined time or after the start of the class or marking task will be “participation” and the learners who have not received the marking information The participation state of the learner in the terminal 2 is determined as “non-participation”.

[Determining the degree of learning motivation of learners]
(1) Determination based on the amount of marking operation The learner's willingness to learn is determined based on the number of marking information received (received number) within a predetermined time or after the start of a lesson or marking task. Specifically, the learner's willingness to participate in the lesson of the learner's terminal 2 whose number of receptions exceeds a predetermined threshold is “Yes”, and the learner's terminal 2 of the learner's terminal 2 below the threshold The willingness to participate is determined as “none”. At this time, a plurality of threshold values may be set, and the degree of willingness to participate in the lesson may be determined in a plurality of stages.

  Alternatively, the determination may be made by comparing the number of received marking information points with a predetermined threshold. In addition to simply using the number of received points as a point, the point of receiving the number of marking information is calculated by calculating the weighted sum by the coefficient set for each content of the marking operation by means of participation motivation point calculation means (not shown). It can also be configured.

(2) Determination by marking operation time The learner's motivation is determined by the elapsed time from the start time included in the marking information performed within a predetermined time or after the start of a lesson or marking task. Specifically, it is assumed that the learner's willingness to participate in the class of the learner's terminal 2 whose elapsed time exceeds a predetermined threshold is “Yes”, and the learner's terminal 2 of the learner's terminal 2 whose threshold is less than or equal to the threshold The willingness to participate is determined as “none”. At this time, a plurality of threshold values may be set, and the degree of willingness to participate in the lesson may be determined in a plurality of stages.

  Further, the determination may be made by comparing the elapsed time of the marked marking information with a predetermined threshold value. Marking the elapsed time of the marking information is not only simply the elapsed time (for example, seconds or minutes), but also a coefficient set for each content of the marking operation by the participation willing point calculation means (not shown). It is also possible to configure so as to calculate a weighted sum of elapsed time points using.

  Alternatively, the time may be divided into unit times, and the points for each unit time may be integrated with 1 point when there is marking information within the unit time and 0 points when there is no marking information within the unit time. In other words, this configuration is determined using an integrated value (integrated point value) of points from a predetermined time or from the start of a lesson or marking.

  Note that “participation / non-participation” may be determined by comparing the willingness to participate and a predetermined threshold.

  In this way, when the learner's participation status in the class is determined, learner status information representing the participation status is generated. This learner state information includes learner identification information or terminal identification information.

  It should be noted that any of the above-described methods or a plurality of determination methods may be used to determine the degree of participation of the learner in the class. When a plurality of determination methods are used, the determination accuracy of the state of participation of the learner in the class can be further increased, and the situation of the teacher learner can be easily grasped.

[Display processing on teacher terminals]
Based on the flowchart of FIG. 8, the flow of the display process in the teacher terminal 1 will be described. First, in the teacher terminal 1, the learner information acquisition unit 11 requests the management server 3 to transmit learner information at a predetermined timing, and acquires learner information (# 21). The predetermined timing may be every predetermined time, or may be a timing at which a notification that the learner state information has been generated from the management server 3 is received. The display image information and marking information are acquired from the image information management unit 31 of the management server 3 as described above.

  When the learner information is acquired, the display mode determination unit 12 determines the display mode for displaying the display image information on the display D (# 22). The display mode determination unit 12 determines a display mode so that the learner using each learner's terminal 2 can visually recognize the participation state in the class. The display mode in the present description highlights the image information of the learner's terminal 2 used by the learner who is determined to be participating in the class.

  The display mode determined by the display mode determination unit 12 is notified to the display image generation unit 13.

  The display image generation unit 13 that has received the display mode notification from the display mode determination unit 12 displays the display image to be displayed on the display D based on the image information (display image information) acquired from the management server 3 and the display mode. Generate (# 23). The display image generated by the display image generation unit 13 is displayed on the display D of the teacher terminal 1 (# 24). In the present embodiment, the display image generated by the display image generation unit 13 displays the name of the learner who uses each learner's terminal 2 in addition to the display image of the learner's terminal 2. .

  As another display mode, a format for displaying the image information of the learner's terminal 2 side by side, information representing the degree of participation in the class of the learner who uses the learner's terminal 2 related to the image information and the image information, and There is a format for displaying in association with each other.

  FIG. 8 is an enlarged display of learners participating in a class as an example of highlighting. On the contrary, an image of a learner who has not participated in the lesson may be displayed in a reduced size. Regardless of the display, it is possible to visually recognize the participation state of each learner in the class depending on the size of the image.

  In addition, when the image is enlarged / reduced, the degree of willingness to present (specifically, the willingness to present as determined in the above-described “determination of motivation by the amount of marking operation” or “determination of motivation by the time of marking operation”) The enlargement ratio / reduction ratio can be changed based on the degree of the above. As described above, in this embodiment, since the degree of willingness to present is determined in three stages, learners participating in the class are classified into the three stages and “participating in class but not willing to present”. A total of four stages can be classified. And if a "class non-participation" state is added, a learner can be classified into five steps. Then, set the enlargement / reduction ratio so that the images become smaller in the order of “high”, “medium”, “low”, “participation but no willingness to present”, and “non-participation” In this case, based on the size of each image in the display image, it is possible to visually recognize the participation state of each learner in the class.

  Note that the degree of willingness to present is not limited to the method of classifying into five levels. For example, the enlargement ratio / reduction ratio may be changed according to the participation willing point calculated by the participation willing point calculating means described above. In this case, for example, an enlargement rate / reduction rate table (not shown) in which an enlargement rate / reduction rate corresponding to the participation willing point is set is provided, and the enlargement corresponding to the participation willing point calculated based on this table is provided. The rate / reduction rate can be determined.

  When performing highlighting using this enlargement / reduction, the determination result of participation / nonparticipation in a class can be taken into consideration. For example, if you are “participating” in a lesson, display image information based on the enlargement / reduction rate determined using the enlargement / reduction rate table. If you are “not attending”, The display mode can be such that image information is not displayed. Thereby, the screen can be displayed in a display mode that is linked to the degree of willingness to participate (participation willing points) without any particular setting of the arbitrary stage for the enlargement ratio / reduction ratio (“5 stages” in the above embodiment). It becomes possible.

  FIG. 9 shows only the learners participating in the class as an example of highlighting. According to this display, the learner participating in the lesson can be visually recognized. On the other hand, when it is desired to visually recognize a learner who has not participated in a lesson, only an image of a learner who has not participated in the lesson may be displayed.

  In addition, it is possible to display only images of learners whose degree of willingness to present is a predetermined value or more. For example, it is possible to display only images of learners with a desire to present “medium” or higher. According to such a display, the teacher can accurately recognize a learner who has a high willingness to present, and can preferentially present such a learner. Naturally, only the images of learners (including non-participation in lessons) whose degree of willingness to present is below a predetermined value may be displayed.

  FIG. 10 shows an image of a learner participating in a class surrounded by a frame as an example of highlighting. According to this display, the learner participating in the lesson can be visually recognized. On the other hand, when it is desired to visually recognize a learner who has not participated in the class, the image of the learner who has not participated in the class may be surrounded by a frame. Further, the thickness and color of the frame line may be changed according to the degree of willingness to present. Also by such a display mode, it is possible to visually recognize the participation state of each learner in the class. This frame line is an example of information indicating the degree of participation in the class.

  FIG. 11 shows a balloon added to an image of a learner participating in a class as an example of highlighting. According to this display, the learner participating in the lesson can be visually recognized. Further, the size and form of the balloon may be varied based on the degree of willingness to present. In addition, it may replace with a balloon and attach | subject the figure of another shape. This balloon is an example of information indicating the degree of participation in the class. In other words, in this configuration, by displaying a balloon, the teacher can perceive that the learner has an intention to “present”. Such highlighting is not limited to a balloon, and various displays can be used as long as the icon can indicate to the teacher that there is a willingness to present, such as a hand icon indicating a raised hand. it can.

  As an example of the arrangement display, images can be arranged and displayed in the order determined to have participated in the lesson. In addition, they can be displayed in the order in which they are determined to be willing to present. In these cases, it is possible to discriminate these if the images of learners who are determined not to participate in the class or are not motivated to present are hidden or displayed in a separate area. Therefore, it is preferable. These determinations can also be made by combining the above-described highlighting. According to such a display mode, the aggressiveness of class participation can be visually recognized. In this way, by rearranging in the order in which it was determined that they participated in the lesson, that is, according to the speed of response to the learner's task, the teacher will be able to Compared with other learners, it is possible to grasp whether they are working on it.

  FIG. 12 is an example of grouping display. In this example, images of learners participating in the lesson and images of learners not participating in the lesson are grouped and displayed. According to this display mode, it is possible to discriminate between learners who are participating in the lesson and learners who are not participating. Further, grouping and display may be performed based on the willingness to present. With such a display mode, each learner's willingness to present can be determined.

[Another embodiment]

(1) Although the degree of willingness to participate in the class is determined as the learner state, the willingness to submit or present (willingness to present) may be determined based on the marking performed by the learner. The determination of the willingness to present is the same as the determination of the willingness to participate in the class, and it is possible to determine the willingness to present the learner who uses the learner's terminal 2 based on the threshold. When the willingness to present is determined, the teacher terminal 1 displays a presentation mark or the like in association with the image information of the learner terminal 2 used by the learner who has determined that there is a willingness to present.

(2) As the alignment key for performing the alignment display, it is possible to use the time determined to have participated in the class (the time when the marking operation was started), the time determined to be willing to present, and the like. Further, the image information of the learner's terminal 2 used by the learner who has been determined not to participate in the lesson, or who has been determined not to participate in the lesson, may be hidden or displayed in a separate area. it can. This is preferable because it is easy to determine such a state.

(3) In the above-described embodiment, the learner state is determined by the management server 3, but the learner state information generation unit 32 is provided in the learner terminal 2, and the generated learner state information is stored in the management server. You may send it. In this case, it is preferable that the learner state information is transmitted to the management server 3 instead of the marking information. Moreover, according to this structure, it is also possible to confirm how the user (learner) is evaluated on the display D of the learner's terminal 1. This process can be realized by providing learner status information display means (not shown) in the learner's terminal 1.

(4) In the above-described embodiment, the learner state is determined by the management server 3, but the learner state information generation unit 32 may be provided in the teacher terminal 1. In this case, the management server 3 transfers the marking information to the teacher terminal 2, and the teacher terminal 2 determines the learner state using the received marking information. According to this configuration, when one class is managed by a plurality of teachers, it is possible to change the weight of determination of the learner state for each teacher terminal 1 and change the point that can be seen for each teacher terminal 1. . This weighting can be realized by using the weighted sum in the above-mentioned participation willingness point calculating means.

(5) In the above-described embodiment, the display image is transmitted from the learner's terminal 2. However, in addition to the display image information, a composite image may be transmitted. In this case, the display image information is preferably an image to which no marking is added. The composite image transmitted from the learner's terminal 2 to the management server 3 is preferably configured to be transferred to the teacher's terminal 1. In this case, the teacher terminal 1 can also perform highlighting by displaying a composite image instead of the display image. Since the composite image is obtained by combining the display image with the marking, the display image is emphasized by the marking. Further, the above-described enhancement may be performed on the composite image. By highlighting in this way, the status of each learner, such as what kind of writing each learner is making, and how much each learner is progressing for the teacher, is immediately displayed. Can grasp.
