<Outline of learning support service>
Next, an outline of a learning support service provided by the learning support system 1 in the embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the learning support service in the embodiment. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the learner U10 uses the processing terminal 200A to solve the problem that is regularly distributed from the server device 100, for example, when the learner U10 is at the house H10. When the learner U10 inputs an answer to the processing terminal 200A and presses a scoring button or the like, the processing terminal 200A transmits answer information to the server device 100, and the scoring information scored based on the model answer is sent from the server device 100. Receive and display the scoring results based on scoring information. Thereby, learner U10 can know the scoring result of the answer to a problem in real time.

  Here, in the general learning support system, the learner learns independently as described above. On the other hand, in the embodiment, the learner U10 can go to the cram school J10 or the like where the instructor is present, and can receive instruction from the instructor while solving the problem on the spot. This service is also called a direct instruction service.

  For example, the learner U10 is a class (or classroom) attended by a plurality of learners (for example, the learner U12), solves a problem distributed in advance or on the spot from the server device 100, and explains the problem. Can be received from the leader T10. At this time, each learner in the class may have a different school, grade, progress of learning, and the like, and solves his / her problem using his / her processing terminal 200.

  At this time, the instructor T10 can deliver an additional problem as homework to the processing terminal 200 of the learner in accordance with the learning situation of the learner of the class of the day. This service is also called a problem distribution service. The processing terminal 400 of the instructor T10 displays the schedule information including the date and the problem information to be distributed on the screen, and causes the instructor T10 to select the distribution target date and the distribution target problem.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 12, which will be described later, the instructor T10 selects (tap) a problem area representing a display area of a predetermined problem to be distributed, and maintains the selected state (drags) and distributes it. Cancel (drop) the selection at the position of the date area that represents the date display area. Thereby, the processing terminal 400 can associate the selected problem with the selected date. Thereafter, when the delivery button is pressed by the instructor T10, the processing terminal 400 transmits a delivery request including the associated problem specifying information and date date information to the problem delivery server. Regarding “association”, it is said that association is also performed for a plurality of pieces of information simply included in the distribution request.

  Thereby, the processing terminal 400 can request the server apparatus 100 to distribute the problem in a simple process. Hereinafter, each function of each device for realizing the above-described problem delivery service will be described.

<Functional configuration>
<Functional configuration of server device>
FIG. 5 is a schematic configuration diagram (functional configuration diagram) illustrating the server device 100 according to the embodiment from a functional viewpoint. The server device 100 is for supporting learning in response to requests from the processing terminals 200 and 400, and at least the first communication unit 150, the first storage unit 160, and the application control unit as functions for that purpose. 170.

  The first communication unit 150 communicates with the processing terminals 200 and 400 and the server device 300 via the network N. For example, the first receiving unit 1504 supplies the data received from each processing terminal 200 or the like to the application control unit 170, and the first transmission unit 1502 transmits the data supplied from the application control unit 170 to each processing terminal. 200 and the like. Specifically, the first communication unit 150 includes at least the network interface 110 illustrated in FIG. 2 described above.

  The first storage unit 160 stores various programs and various data. Specifically, at least one of the ROM 102, the RAM 103, the external memory 106, and the slot drive 108 shown in FIG. It can consist of two. Here, the program stored in the first storage unit 160 is a program related to a problem delivery application that executes a processing procedure described later. The first storage unit 160 also stores data related to problem distribution, display data, data of various calculation results, and the like.

  For example, the first storage unit 160 stores learner information 1602, problem information 1604, and history information 1606. These pieces of information may be physically stored in another storage unit, or one storage unit may be logically divided and stored. In addition, the first storage unit 160 may store an exemplary answer of a question. Note that the problem information 1604 may be stored in the server device 300. Details of each piece of information stored in the first storage unit 160 will be described later with reference to FIGS. Note that the first storage unit 160 may be a database separate from the server device 100.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of learner information 1602 stored in the first storage unit 160. In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the learner information 1602 is information including a learner's membership number, name, school, school year, hybrid, contract details, and the like. Further, the learner information 162 may include image data such as a photograph of the learner's face and an illustration. Note that the contract content may be stored in another database, and the contract number may be made searchable using the member number as a primary key.

  The membership number represents learner identification information given to the learner when he / she joins the problem distribution service provided by the business. The name represents the learner's name, and the school and grade represent the learner's school and grade. As described above, “Hybrid” represents whether or not a direct instruction service for receiving instruction from an instructor at a cram school or the like is subscribed. “Yes” indicates that the user is directly subscribed to the guidance service, and “No” indicates that the user is not directly subscribed to the guidance service. The contract content represents a specific day of the week, a specific time, and the maximum number of attendances at which a school can be attended. The specific day of the week and the specific time are not absolute, and can be transferred to another time.

  For example, in the case of the member number “0001”, the name “AAA”, the school “ABC”, the school year “Middle 3”, the Hybrid “Yes”, and the contract content “Thu B frame 4” are associated with the member number. “Thu B frame 4” represents that the class of Thursday B frame (for example, 19: 00-20: 00) can be attended four times a month. Classes can be specified by day of the week and time zone. At the time of the student's contract, for example, it is determined which school cram school belongs, which class it belongs to, and how many times a month it attends.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the problem information 1604 stored in the first storage unit 160. The problem information 1604 illustrated in FIG. 7 includes display information, problem content information, and a related ID for each problem ID. The problem ID represents problem specifying information for specifying a problem, for example. The display information represents, for example, a notation when displayed on the screen. The problem content information represents the content of the problem, for example. The related ID represents, for example, a problem ID of a problem related to the problem. With this relation ID, for example, a problem related to a problem mistaken by the learner can be specified.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of history information 1606 stored in the first storage unit 160. The history information 1606 shown in FIG. 8 is information representing the learning history of the member number “0001”. The history information 166 includes an approach date, question ID, answer information, scoring information, and the like. The approach date represents the date when the answer information for the question is received from the processing terminal 200. The date on which the answer information is received represents, for example, the date on which the learner tackled the distributed problem using the processing terminal 200. The problem ID represents problem specifying information for specifying a problem distributed to the processing terminal 200.

  The answer information represents the learner's answer information received from the processing terminal 200. The scoring information represents information scored based on the model answer to the learner's answer information. Each information mentioned above shows only an example. The history information 1606 is stored for each learner.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the application control unit 170 includes the arithmetic processing unit 101 illustrated in FIG. 2, and processing by each functional module described later is executed based on a control command from the arithmetic processing unit 101. That is, the arithmetic processing unit 101 functions as the application control unit 170 in the embodiment. If it further demonstrates taking the learning support in embodiment as an example, it will be provided with the registration part 1702, the log | history management part 1704, the delivery part 1706, and the learning part 1708 as a functional module. The functional module may be realized by the various programs executed by the processor of the arithmetic processing unit 101, or may be implemented in the arithmetic processing unit 101 as firmware.

  When receiving a registration request for information included in the learner information 1602 from the processing terminal 200, the registration unit 1702 registers this information in the learner information 1602 stored in the first storage unit 160. In addition, when learner information is input from the administrator of the server device 100, the registration unit 1702 registers the input information in the learner information 1602 stored in the first storage unit 160.

  The history management unit 1704 updates or manages information included in the history information 1606. For example, the history management unit 1704 sets the reception date of the answer information received from the processing terminal 200 as the working date, identifies the learner from the member number received together with the answer information, and adds this answer to the identified learner's history information. The history information is updated by storing the information. Moreover, when the history management unit 1704 acquires information about a learner from the processing terminal 400 operated by the instructor, the history management unit 1704 updates the history information by storing the acquired information in association with the learner's history information. .

  The distribution unit 1706 distributes the problem information to the processing terminal 200 via the first transmission unit 1502. For example, the distribution unit 1706 distributes problem information to the learner's processing terminal 200 regularly (for example, once a week or once a month).

  Further, the distribution unit 1706 extracts a problem to be distributed according to the learning status of the learner in response to a distribution management request from the processing terminal 400, and sends the problem identification information of the extracted problem to the first transmission unit 1502. May be transmitted to the processing terminal 400 of the instructor. The distribution unit 1706 may identify a problem that the learner has made a mistake in the past based on the history information 1606 regarding the extraction of the problem to be distributed, or a problem related to the problem identified based on the problem information 1604 May be extracted. When the distribution unit 1706 transmits the problem specifying information to the processing terminal 400, the processing terminal 400 can acquire a list of problems that the learner wants to solve and present the list to the learner.

  The learning unit 1708 performs machine learning from the history information 1606 or the like using, for example, a problem tendency of wrong answers, and classifies the learner into each cluster. The learning unit 1708 learns what problems were delivered to learners in the cluster at what time, and extracts problems that are recommended for a predetermined learner. For example, the learning unit 1708 recommends according to the distribution timing and contents of the problems distributed in the past by the learners in the classified cluster using the wrong answer status of the predetermined learner to classify into a predetermined cluster. Determine the timing and content of the problem.

  The distribution unit 1706 distributes the recommended problem determined by the learning unit 1708 as a distribution target problem to the processing terminal 400 of the instructor. When receiving the distribution request, the distribution unit 1706 distributes the problem information indicated by the problem specifying information included in the distribution request and the date information to the processing terminal 200 of the learner.

  In addition, the server that distributes the problem to the processing terminal 200 may be a distribution server (server device 300) different from the server device 100. In this case, the distribution unit 1706 is provided in the distribution server. Thereby, the distribution server distributes the problem information of the requested problem to the processing terminal 200.

Can be delivered.

  In addition, the third receiving unit 4604 may receive, from the server device 100, each piece of problem specifying information for each question extracted according to the learning situation of a predetermined learner.

  At this time, the generation unit 4806 may include each problem area of each problem specified by each problem specifying information extracted by the server device 100 in the screen data. For example, if the extracted problem is a problem that the learner has made a mistake in the past, the instructor will choose from these questions as additional homework, so the learner will review the wrong problem with a focus be able to. Also, if the extracted problem is related to the wrong problem, the instructor will choose from these questions as additional homework, so the learner will be working on a new problem related to the wrong problem. You can review.

  Here, the function of the generation unit 4806 will be described. FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the function of the generation unit 4806. The generation unit 4806 illustrated in FIG. 11 includes a screen generation unit 4820, an addition unit 4822, and an identification unit 4824.

  The screen generation unit 4820 reflects the problem specifying information transmitted from the server device 100 on the screen data on which each GUI component or the like or the display area is arranged, and generates the latest screen data. The screen data is displayed on the touch panel 202 by the display control unit 4808.

  The adding unit 4822 controls to display information related to the problem selected by the drag start operation in association with the date area (or date button) selected by the drag end operation. Thereby, the instructor can grasp which problem is associated with which date.

  More specifically, the adding unit 4822 includes information related to the problem selected by the drag start operation in the date area selected by the drag end operation. Thereby, the leader can grasp at a glance which problem is associated with which date.

  Further, the identification unit 4824 makes it possible to identify in the schedule area a date area associated with information regarding a distributed problem and a date area associated with information regarding an undelivered problem. For example, the identification unit 4824 may display a delivered date area in white, and an undelivered date area in a normal color. Thereby, the instructor can easily grasp the distributed problem and the undelivered problem.

  Further, the identification unit 4824 makes it possible to identify a selected problem and an unselected problem in the problem selection area. For example, the identification unit 4824 makes it possible to identify these problems by changing the colors of the selected problem and the unselected problem. Further, the identification unit 4824 may display the number of times of distribution for the display of the selected problem. For example, the identification unit 4824 counts the number of times a predetermined problem has been selected as a distribution target, and displays the counted number of distributions in association with the display of the predetermined problem. Thus, the instructor can grasp the number of distributed problems and select a distribution target problem in consideration of the number of times.

<Screen example>
Next, a screen example of the problem distribution service provided by the learning support system 1 will be described. The screen example shown below is a screen example displayed on the processing terminal 400 of the instructor. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a distribution management screen. The screen shown in FIG. 12 includes a bibliographic item display area AR10, a problem selection area AR12 for selecting a problem to be distributed, and a schedule area AR14 for selecting a date. The screen shown in FIG. 12 includes a delivery button B10 and a message button B12. Further, the screen illustrated in FIG. 12 is generated by the generation unit 4806.

  In the display area AR10, for example, it is indicated that the “distribution management” tab TB2 is selected at 14:00 on Thursday, June 20, 2015 of the SS school which is a learning cram school. In the display area AR10, other tabs including a “class management” tab and a “classroom management” tab are displayed.

  In the problem selection area AR12 shown in FIG. 12, for example, each problem to be distributed is displayed for a learner (AAA) belonging to the SS school. Each problem is formed by a selectable problem area (for example, symbol D12). Here, one corresponding to one problem area is called a lesson. A lesson may include multiple questions. Note that lessons that are regularly addressed may be referred to as lessons, and lessons for additional homework may be referred to as assignments. A number may be displayed on the upper right side of the problem area D12. This number indicates the number of times selected by the instructor as a distribution target. For example, the number “3” is displayed in the upper right of the problem area D2. This represents that this problem has been selected three times for distribution. Also, the problem area can be identified by the case where it has not been distributed and the case where it has been distributed. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 12, the distributed problem areas are displayed with diagonal lines, and the undistributed problem areas are displayed in white. Since the number of distributions can be determined by identifying whether or not the distribution has been performed, the above-described numbers may be displayed when the distribution is performed twice or more.

  In the question selection area AR12 shown in FIG. 12, the mathematics tab TB4 is selected and each lesson related to mathematics is displayed. The assignment name and level for the lesson are also displayed.

  In the problem selection area AR12 shown in FIG. 12, the server apparatus 100 may display problems extracted according to the learner. For example, the server apparatus 100 can extract a problem that a past learner having a similar learning comprehension degree has been working on at this time by learning past learning histories of a plurality of learners.

  In the schedule area AR14 shown in FIG. 12, for example, a calendar is displayed, and each date is formed by a selectable date area. In the schedule area AR14, the day of the week and date are displayed in units of one month.

  A plurality of lessons are displayed in the date area D10 of the day. This indicates that the above-described association process has been performed a plurality of times. In one association process, for example, when the drag starts from the position of a predetermined problem area in the problem selection area AR12 and the drag ends at the position of the date area D10 of the day, the association unit 4810 indicates one day. The date information is associated with the problem specifying information for specifying the dragged predetermined problem.

  Further, the addition unit 4822 includes information related to the problem (for example, English-1) in the date area D10 of the day. Each lesson shown in the date area D10 is distributed to the learner (AAA), and the identification unit 4824 displays the background of each information in the date area D10 in white.

  A plurality of lessons are displayed in the date area D12 on the 3rd. Also, a number “10” is displayed in the upper right of the date area D12, and this represents the number of associated lessons. It is assumed that each lesson shown in the date area D12 on the 3rd has not yet been distributed to the learner (AAA). Further, the identification unit 4824 displays the background of each piece of information in the date area D12 with a specified color. For example, English is red, national language is orange, mathematics is blue.

  In the state shown in FIG. 12, when the delivery button B <b> 10 is pressed by the instructor, a request to deliver each lesson associated with the date information on the 3rd, 10th to 12th, and 25th is transmitted to the server device 100. Is done. Further, the second application execution unit 480 may transmit the distribution request on a daily basis.

  When button B12 shown in FIG. 12 is pressed, a message input screen is displayed (see FIG. 14). When the date area associated with the lesson is pressed by the instructor, a confirmation screen for the associated lesson is displayed (see FIG. 13).

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a lesson confirmation screen on the date of 3rd. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the content, level, and total time (65 minutes) of each lesson are displayed. The instructor can confirm which lesson is assigned by displaying this confirmation screen.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a message input screen. In the example shown in FIG. 14, a message input area M10 is displayed at the top of the screen, and a soft keyboard K10 is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The instructor inputs a message using the soft keyboard K10, and the input message is transmitted to the server apparatus 100 together with a distribution request including the problem specifying information and date information. This message is transmitted to the learner's processing terminal 200 together with the problem information and date information. As a result, the instructor can convey the word of encouragement and the intention of selecting the problem to the learner.
