  The reproduction control unit 33 is an information processing unit such as a microcomputer, and plays back the moving image data received from the image forming apparatus 2 via the short-range wireless communication unit 32 and causes the operation unit 31 to display it. That is, since the moving image data received from the image forming apparatus 2 is stream-reproduced, it is not downloaded to the reproducing device 3. Therefore, when the playback device 3 is taken out of the study room, it becomes impossible to receive the moving image data through the short-range wireless communication unit 32, and thus playback is impossible.

  Next, the flow of the processing procedure of the learning system 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, when the usage information of the student USR who uses the self-study room is input (step s11), the usage reception unit 291 of the image forming apparatus 2 receives the usage (step s12). When accepting the use, the attendee ID for identifying the student USR, the attendance time (the attendance start time, the attendance end time), the designation of the class unit to be attended, and the playback device 3 rented to the attendant USR by the administrator of the study room Registration etc. are accepted.

  Subsequently, the content acquisition unit 292 transmits to the server 1 an acquisition request for the lesson-by-class learning content 11e designated by the use reception unit 291 (step s13). The content acquisition unit 292 acquires the text data 11a, the test data 11b, and the lesson moving image data 11c as the learning content 11e for the designated lesson unit from the server control unit 12 in response to the acquisition request (step s14).

  Subsequently, the printing unit 25 prints the teaching material data acquired by the content acquisition unit 292 (step s15). Thereby, the text is printed based on the text data 11a, and the test question and the answer sheet are printed based on the test data 11b. The printed material is handed over to the student USR by the administrator of the study room together with the registered player 3 (steps s16 and s17).

  Subsequently, for example, when the attendance start time comes, the content transmission processing unit 293 streams the class video data 11c acquired by the content acquisition unit 292 to the registered player 3 via the short-range wireless communication unit 27 (step s18).

  When the class moving image data is transmitted from the image forming apparatus 2, the class moving image is stream-reproduced by the playback device 3 (step s19), and the student USR receives the class while referring to the printed text (step s20).

  Subsequently, the student USR performs a test using the printed test questions and answer sheets (step s21).

  When the test is completed, the student USR sets an answer sheet in the image forming apparatus 2 and issues a reading instruction. The scoring processing unit 294 receives a reading instruction, reads the answer sheet by the document reading unit 22 (step s22), and performs scoring processing (step s23). In the scoring process, an answer sheet is scored by the grader via the fax unit 26, or when the read answer sheet is a mark sheet type, the answer sheet is scored by comparing with the previously obtained answer. .

  Subsequently, the content acquisition unit 292 transmits an acquisition request for the commented moving image data 11d of the scored test problem to the server 1 (step s24), and acquires the explanatory moving image data 11d from the server 1 according to the acquisition request ( Step s25). The content acquisition unit 292 may acquire the comment video data 11d of all test questions, or may acquire only the comment video data 11d of an incorrect test question as a scoring result.

  Subsequently, the content transmission processing unit 293 edits the commentary video data 11d acquired by the content acquisition unit 292 (step s26). Specifically, the content transmission processing unit 293 receives the learning time (current time + predetermined time for transmission to completion of the learning) received by the use receiving unit 291 for the playback time of all the commentary video data 11d acquired by the content acquisition unit 292. It is determined whether or not it falls within (time). If the content does not fit, the content transmission processing unit 293 displays the comment video data 11d of the test problem that has become an incorrect answer as a result of scoring within the attendance time in the order of problems determined in advance. Is selected and transmitted to the player 3 (step s27). Thereby, the comment video data 11d corresponding to each student USR is selected and transmitted to the player 3.

  When the explanation moving image data 11d is transmitted from the image forming apparatus 2, the reproducing apparatus 3 performs stream reproduction of the explanation moving image data 11d (step s28), and the student USR can confirm the explanation (step s29).

  When the confirmation of the explanation is completed, the attendance time of the student USR ends, and the collection confirmation unit 295 accepts the end of the attendance time (end of use) by the operation of the administrator of the self-study room (step s30). Subsequently, when the manager of the self-study room receives the test question and the regenerator 3 from the student USR and collects it, the collection confirmation unit 295 accepts registration of the test question and the reclaimer 3 by operation of the administrator ( Step s31). Subsequently, the collection confirmation unit 295 performs a collection check of the test problem (step s32). In the collection check, the collection confirmation unit 295 reads the collected test problem via the document reading unit 22 and confirms whether or not all pages of the test problem have been collected (read). The storage unit 24 stores in advance images of all pages of the test problem for verification. The collection confirmation unit 295 may confirm the collection of the test problem by comparing each page of the test problem for verification with the page of the test problem read by the document reading unit 22. The collection confirmation unit 295 displays the confirmation result on the operation unit 21 or prints it via the printing unit 25. For example, if the collection confirmation unit 295 determines that all pages have not been collected for the test problem, the collection confirmation unit 295 displays an error message on the operation unit 21 to warn that the test problem has been taken away. As a result, the administrator can easily confirm that the test question has been taken away. When the collection check is finished, this process is finished.

  As described above, the learning system 100 according to the present embodiment includes the server 1 (storage device) in which the learning content 11e including the teaching material data is stored for each lesson unit, the image forming device 2 that prints the teaching material data, and the students. And a regenerator 3 lent to The server 1 stores moving image data for each lesson unit as learning content. The image forming apparatus 2 accepts designation of a lesson unit to be attended by the student USR and uses a reception unit 291 that accepts registration of the playback device 3 to be lent to the student USR, and short distance wireless communication with the playback device 3 A wireless communication unit 27 and a content transmission processing unit 293 that transmits moving picture data of lesson units designated for the registered player 3 via the short-range wireless communication unit 27 are provided. The playback device 3 plays back the moving image data received from the image forming apparatus 2 as a stream. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the learning content 11e can be acquired only through the image forming apparatus 2, and the lesson moving image data 11c and the comment moving image data 11d can be reproduced only by the reproducing device 3 located in the study room. It becomes possible to receive and play back, and the leakage of the learning content 11e can be prevented.

  In this embodiment, since the learning environment can be constructed by installing the image forming apparatus 2 in the self-study room, the learning environment can be easily provided to the student USR without a large-scale learning facility such as a school. can do. In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the student USR can learn without the teacher being present, a certain level of learning environment can be provided even in areas where facilities are insufficient, such as poor countries and depopulated areas, and where teachers are insufficient. Can do.

  Note that when there is the comment video data 11d of the test problem that has not been transmitted by the content transmission processing unit 293, the printing unit 25 prints the postcard scene in the comment video data 11d of the test problem that has not been transmitted. May be. The comment video data 11d that has not been sent due to lack of attendance time is relatively low in importance. Therefore, the student USR can understand the explanation without checking the explanation movie by extracting and printing the image of the blackboard scene of the explanation movie that could not be reproduced. Note that the printing unit 25 can specify an image of a blackboard scene based on a preset feature point, brightness, or the like of the blackboard image.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
