Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall system configuration of the lecture support system and the block configuration of each device in the present embodiment. FIG. 1 shows a configuration in which a multifunction machine 10, a class support box 20, an LMS (Learning Management System) 30, an authentication server 1 and a teacher terminal 2 are connected to a LAN 3. The lecture support system according to the present embodiment is installed in a school campus such as a university and is used by teachers, students, and the like to support lectures conducted at the school.

  The multifunction machine 10 is a form of an image forming apparatus equipped with various functions such as a copy function and a scan function, and is a device incorporating a computer. In the case of the present embodiment, description will be made assuming a teacher as a user of the multifunction machine 10.

  The LMS 30 is a learning support system that holds and manages information related to support of users (teachers, students, etc.) involved in lectures. The class support box 20 provides various functions mainly for improving the work efficiency of teachers, such as scanning paper documents such as tests, reports, and attendance slips and registering them in the LMS 30. The student can obtain a graded answer sheet (electronic data) registered in the LMS 30.

  The authentication server 1 authenticates a user who uses this system. The teacher terminal 2 is an information processing apparatus realized by a personal computer (PC) or the like and used by the teacher.

  FIG. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram of the multifunction machine 10 according to the present embodiment. The multifunction machine 10 is a device incorporating a computer as described above. In FIG. 2, the CPU 41 controls the operation of various mechanisms such as the scanner 44 and the printer engine 46 that are installed in the apparatus according to a program stored in the ROM 49. The address data bus 42 is connected to various mechanisms to be controlled by the CPU 41 and performs data communication. The operation panel 43 receives instructions from the user and displays information. The scanner 44 reads a document set by a user and stores it in an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 45 or the like as electronic data. The HDD 45 stores an electronic document read using the scanner 44. The printer engine 46 prints an image on output paper in accordance with an instruction from a control program executed by the CPU 41. The network interface (IF) 47 is used for data exchange, data access, and the like such as connecting the LAN 3 and transmitting the scan data generated by the apparatus to the class support box 20. The RAM 48 is used as a work memory during program execution and a communication buffer during electronic data transmission / reception. The ROM 49 stores various programs relating to control of the apparatus, encryption of electronic data, and transmission / reception of electronic data. By executing various programs, each component described later exhibits a predetermined processing function. The external media interface (IF) 50 is an interface with an external memory device such as a USB memory or a flash memory.

  FIG. 3 is a hardware configuration diagram of a computer forming the lesson support box 20 in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the computer forming the lesson support box 20 can be realized with a general-purpose hardware configuration that has existed in the past. That is, the class support box 20 is configured by connecting a CPU 51, ROM 52, RAM 53, hard disk drive (HDD) 54, and network interface (IF) 55 provided as communication means to an internal bus 56 as shown in FIG. The A user interface may be provided if necessary.

  Since the authentication server 1, the teacher terminal 2, and the LMS 30 are also the same computer, they have the same configuration as in FIG. However, the teacher terminal 2 further has a user interface constituted by a liquid crystal panel or input means such as a mouse and a keyboard and display means such as a display.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the multifunction machine 10 includes an authentication request unit 11, a user interface (UI) unit 12, a registration processing unit 13, an acquisition processing unit 14, and a control unit 15. Note that components that are not used in the description of this embodiment are omitted. The authentication request unit 11 requests user authentication when a user who starts using the multifunction machine 10, that is, a teacher logs in the lesson support box 20. The user interface unit 12 receives information and instructions input from the operation panel 43. In addition, information is displayed on the operation panel 43 through various screens. In the case of the present embodiment, the user interface unit 12 is a registration request receiving means for receiving a registration request from a specific user related to the lecture, in which information specifying information that can specify information related to the lecture is specified. It functions as an access request receiving means for receiving an access request for information related to the lecture from a user for which specific information is specified. The access request in the present embodiment is an acquisition result file acquisition request.

  The “information related to the lecture” refers to information related to the lecture, such as information on a distribution used in the lecture, information related to the curriculum itself of the lecture, and the like. In this embodiment, a case where a count result file is used as information related to a lecture will be described as an example. The tabulation result file includes the scoring result for each student of the assignment given to the student by the teacher in the lecture. The information related to the lecture may be, for example, electronic data of a medium given to the student by the teacher such as a distribution material in the lecture, for example, an answer sheet (electronic data) which is information related to the answer. Alternatively, it may be information related to the lecture such as electronic data of a medium submitted by a student to a teacher.

  Further, “information specifying information” that can specify information related to a lecture is information for uniquely specifying information related to the lecture (aggregation result file). If a lecture is specified, information related to the lecture can be specified. For example, lecture identification information such as a lecture name and a lecture ID corresponds to this. In this embodiment, a lecture name is used.

  “A specific user related to a lecture” is a person related to the lecture, and excludes a user who has nothing to do with the lecture. Generally, it is a teacher or a student, but in the case of the present embodiment, a teacher who is a user of the multifunction machine 10 and requests registration of an aggregation result file is assumed. If the information related to the lecture is information passed from the student to the teacher, the student may be used.

  The registration processing unit 13 performs processing for registering the count result file in the file information storage unit 26 in cooperation with the file generation processing unit 22 in the class support box 20. The acquisition processing unit 14 cooperates with the file provision processing unit 23 in the lesson support box 20 to acquire the aggregation result file registered in the file information storage unit 26 and perform processing for providing it to the teacher. The control unit 15 controls the operation of each component 11 to 14 in the multifunction machine 10.

  The constituent elements 11 to 15 in the multifunction machine 10 are realized by a cooperative operation of a computer mounted on the multifunction machine 10 and a program operating on the CPU 41 mounted on the computer.

  The class support box 20 includes an authentication processing unit 21, a file generation processing unit 22, a file provision processing unit 23, a lecture list acquisition unit 24, a teacher list acquisition unit 25, and a file information storage unit 26. Note that components that are not used in the description of this embodiment are omitted. In response to an authentication request from the multifunction device 10, the authentication processing unit 21 inquires the authentication server 1 about whether or not the user can log in. The file generation processing unit 22 functions as a registration unit that generates a totalization result file in response to a registration request from the multifunction machine 10 and registers user identification information in the totalization result file and registers it in the file information storage unit 26.

  The “user specifying information” is information that can specify a user who can access information related to the lecture (aggregation result file). In the present embodiment, lecture identification information (lecture name) is used as user-specific information and associated with the tabulation result file. Of course, other information such as a lecture ID may be used as long as it is information that can identify a lecture without being a lecture name. As will be described later, the list information of teachers can also be “user identification information”.

  The file provision processing unit 23 functions as a control unit that controls access to the aggregation result file identified by the lecture name received by the user interface unit 12 from the teacher of the teacher who requested access based on the information acquired from the LMS 30. To do. Specifically, in response to an acquisition request for an aggregation result file by a teacher, the presence / absence of the teacher's acquisition authority is determined, and control is performed so that the aggregation result file is provided only when the teacher has the acquisition authority. One of the features of the present embodiment is that the presence / absence of a teacher's acquisition authority is determined using information registered in the LMS 30.

  The lecture list acquisition unit 24 acquires, from the LMS 30 in accordance with an instruction from the file generation processing unit 22, lecture list information for the teacher in charge of the registration request. The teacher list acquisition unit 25 acquires the list information of the teachers in charge of the designated lecture from the LMS 30 in response to an instruction from the file generation processing unit 22 or the file provision processing unit 23.

  In the file information storage unit 26, user identification information (in the case of the present embodiment, a lecture name) is associated with the total result file generated by the file generation processing unit 22 and registered.

  Each component 21-25 in the lesson support box 20 is implement | achieved by the cooperative operation | movement of the program which operate | moves with the computer which forms the lesson support box 20, and CPU mounted in the computer. The file information storage unit 26 is realized by an HDD mounted in the class support box 20. Alternatively, RAM or external storage means may be used via the LAN 3.

  The LMS 30 includes an information management unit 31, a teacher information storage unit 32, and a lecture information storage unit 33. Note that components that are not used in the description of this embodiment are omitted. The information management unit 31 manages various information stored in the LMS 30 including information set and registered in the storage units 32 and 33.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of teacher information set in the teacher information storage unit 32 according to the present embodiment. In the teacher information storage unit 32, information related to teachers is set in advance. In this embodiment, only data items used for explanation are shown, and items not used for explanation such as personal information of teachers are omitted. FIG. 4 shows, for each teacher, the teacher ID that is the teacher's identification information, the identification information of the lecture that the teacher is in charge of (the lecture name in the case of this embodiment), and the assignment given to the student in the lecture The identification information (in the case of this embodiment, the assignment name) and teacher information set in association with each other are shown. The teacher ID refers to the user ID of the teacher.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of lecture information set in the lecture information storage unit 33 according to the present embodiment. In the lecture information storage unit 33, information related to the lecture is set in advance. In the present embodiment, only data items used for explanation are shown, and items not used for explanation such as date and time of lecture are omitted. FIG. 5 shows, for each lecture, lecture information set by associating the lecture name of the lecture with the teacher ID of the teacher in charge of the lecture.

  As is clear from the data structure of the lecture information illustrated in FIG. 5, the correspondence between the lecture and the teacher in the lecture information is clear even in the teacher information, so the teacher information is not set separately. Information may be shared.

  The information management unit 31 in the LMS 30 is realized by a cooperative operation of a computer that forms the LMS 30 and a program that operates on a CPU mounted on the computer. Each storage unit 32 and 33 is realized by an HDD mounted on the LMS 30. Alternatively, RAM or external storage means may be used via a network.

  Further, the program used in this embodiment can be provided not only by communication means but also by storing it in a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or USB memory. The program provided from the communication means or the recording medium is installed in the computer, and various processes are realized by the CPU of the computer sequentially executing the program.

  Next, the operation in this embodiment will be described. First, the registration process until the total result file is registered in the file information storage unit 26 will be described with reference to the sequence diagram shown in FIG.

  The teacher collects the answer sheets for the tasks given to the students in the lecture, grades each, and enters the scoring results (scores) in the prescribed columns of each answer sheet. Then, when a teacher performs a predetermined operation on the multifunction machine 10 to generate and register a count result file based on the answer sheet, the user interface unit 12 displays a login screen on the operation panel 43. The teacher inputs authentication information such as his / her user ID and password from the login screen.

  When the authentication information is input, the authentication request unit 11 requests the class support box 20 for user authentication by transmitting the input user ID and password to the class support box 20 (step 101).

  The authentication processing unit 21 in the class support box 20 inquires whether or not the teacher can log in by transmitting the sent authentication information to the authentication server 1 (step 201). The authentication server 1 performs authentication in response to this inquiry, and returns the result (step 11). The authentication processing unit 21 determines whether or not the teacher can log in based on the authentication result by the authentication server 1, and here, the description is continued assuming that the authentication is successful.

  If the authentication is successful, the registration processing unit 13 in the multifunction machine 10 transmits a lecture list acquisition request including the user ID of the logged-in teacher to the class support box 20 (step 102).

  When receiving the lecture list acquisition request, the file generation processing unit 22 that operates in cooperation with the registration processing unit 13 sends an instruction to the lecture list acquisition unit 24. In response to this, the lecture list acquisition unit 24 transmits a lecture list acquisition request including the user ID included in the lecture list acquisition request to the LMS 30 (step 202).

  In response to the lecture list acquisition request from the class support box 20, the information management unit 31 in the LMS 30 searches the teacher information storage unit 32 with the user ID included in the lecture list acquisition request, and thereby lectures that the teacher is in charge of. Is extracted, and list information including the lecture name of the extracted lecture is generated and provided to the class support box 20 (step 301).

  When the lecture list acquisition unit 24 acquires the lecture list information from the LMS 30, the file generation processing unit 22 transmits the lecture list information to the MFP 10. Note that the multifunction device 10 accesses the LMS 30 via the class support box 20 as described above.

  If the lecture list information can be acquired, the user interface unit 12 displays a lecture designation screen for displaying a list of lecture names on the operation panel 43 (step 103). When the teacher designates a lecture from the list of lecture names displayed, the registration processing unit 13 accepts the designated lecture (step 104).

  After designating the lecture, the teacher sets a bundle of graded answer sheets on the manuscript table (not shown) of the multifunction machine 10 and performs a predetermined scan start operation. In response to this operation, the scanner 44 in the multifunction machine 10 starts scanning the answer sheet (step 105). When the reading of the answer sheet bundle is completed, the registration processing unit 13 transmits the lecture name designated by the teacher and the scan data of the answer sheet to the lesson support box 20. Note that the scan data may be sequentially transmitted without waiting until the reading of the entire bundle is completed.

  The file generation processing section 22 in the class support box 20 extracts the student ID number, name and score of the student (answerer) included in each of the scan data of the answer sheet by performing image analysis, and extracts these extracted data. An aggregation result file including the correspondence and data of each student is generated (step 203). Then, the lecture name acquired together with the scan data is linked to the generated aggregation result file and registered in the file information storage unit 26 (step 204).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the totaling result file generated corresponding to the assignment is held and managed in association with the lecture name that can identify the lecture to which the assignment is given. The lecture name is information that can identify the teacher in charge of the lecture, as will be described later.

  Next, an acquisition process performed when a teacher acquires a count result file registered in the file information storage unit 26 will be described with reference to a sequence diagram shown in FIG.

  When the teacher performs a predetermined operation on the multifunction machine 10 in order to acquire the aggregation result file, the user interface unit 12 displays a login screen on the operation panel 43. The teacher inputs authentication information such as his / her user ID and password from the login screen.

  When the authentication information is input, the authentication request unit 11 requests the class support box 20 for user authentication by transmitting the input user ID and password to the class support box 20 (step 111).

  The authentication processing unit 21 in the class support box 20 inquires whether login is possible by transmitting the sent authentication information to the authentication server 1 (step 211). The authentication server 1 performs authentication in response to this inquiry, and returns the result (step 12). The authentication processing unit 21 determines whether or not the teacher can log in based on the authentication result by the authentication server 1, and here, the description is continued assuming that the authentication is successful.

  If the authentication is successful, the acquisition processing unit 14 in the multi-function peripheral 10 transmits a file list acquisition request for acquiring a list of count result files to the class support box 20 (step 112).

  In the class support box 20, when the file provision processing unit 23 that operates in cooperation with the acquisition processing unit 14 receives a file list acquisition request from the multifunction device 10, a list of the summary result files registered in the file information storage unit 26. A list of files is provided by generating and returning information (step 212).

  When the summary result file list is transmitted, the user interface unit 12 displays a file designation screen for displaying the summary result file list on the operation panel 43 (step 113). Then, when the faculty member specifies a totaling result file to be acquired from the totaling result files displayed as a list, the acquisition processing unit 14 accepts the specified totaling result file name as identification information of the totaling result file (step 114). . Then, an acquisition request including the accepted counting result file name is transmitted to the class support box 20 (step 115).

  When the file provision processing unit 23 in the class support box 20 receives the acquisition request from the multifunction machine 10, it sends an instruction to the teacher list acquisition unit 25. In response to this, when the teacher list acquisition unit 25 retrieves and acquires the lecture name associated with the aggregation result file included in the acquisition request from the file information storage unit 26 (step 213), the acquired lecture name Is transmitted to the LMS 30 (step 214).

  In response to the teacher list acquisition request transmitted from the class support box 20, the information management unit 31 in the LMS 30 searches the lecture information storage unit 33 by the lecture name included in the teacher list acquisition request, and stores the lecture. The teacher in charge is extracted, list information including the teacher ID of the extracted teacher is generated, and provided to the class support box 20 (step 311).

  When the teacher list acquisition unit 25 acquires the teacher list information from the LMS 30, the file provision processing unit 23 confirms whether the user ID of the teacher who requested the acquisition is included in the teacher list information acquired from the LMS 30. . When the user ID is included in the list information, the teacher determines that the teacher is a teacher having the authority to access the total result file, and the file provision processing unit 23 transmits the total result file to the multifunction machine 10. (Step 215). If the teacher ID is not included in the teacher list information and the teacher is not a teacher in charge of the lecture, that is, he / she does not have access authority, he / she notifies the MFP 10 of the fact, A message to that effect may be displayed on the operation panel 43.

  In this way, when the acquisition processing unit 14 acquires the aggregation result file (step 116), the teacher can obtain the aggregation result by a desired method. For example, it prints it, saves it in an external media interface, or sends it to itself as an email attachment.

  As described above, teachers can acquire the aggregation result file, but the teachers who can acquire the aggregation result file are not necessarily registered by the aggregation result file, but are included in the teacher list acquired from the LMS 30. Can be obtained if the teacher is a teacher who is in charge of a lecture for which an assignment corresponding to the totaling result file is given.

  As is clear from the contents of the acquisition process, the totalization result file can be acquired not only from the multifunction machine 10 but also from the teacher terminal 2. A teacher can log in to the lesson support box 20 from the teacher terminal 2 and can acquire it if he / she has access authority to the designated count result file. That is, the teacher terminal 2 may have a function equivalent to that of the acquisition processing unit 14. If it is desired to print the acquired totalization result file, it may be sent to the multifunction machine 10 to execute printing.

  By the way, in the lecture support system described above, the multifunction machine 10 and the class support box 20 are formed as separate devices, but may be formed integrally. That is, the processing function provided by the lesson support box 20 may be installed in the multifunction machine 10. The system configuration in this case is shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, the same components as those shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, the registration processing unit 16 has processing functions provided by the registration processing unit 13 and the file generation processing unit 22 shown in FIG. The provision processing unit 17 has processing functions provided by the acquisition processing unit 14 and the file provision processing unit 23 illustrated in FIG. Alternatively, only the user interface unit 12 may be provided in the multifunction device 10, and the user may be configured to use the Web service provided by the lesson support box 20 on the browser of the multifunction device 10. By doing so, it becomes possible to use a small scanner having a user interface instead of the multifunction machine 10.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, the lecture name is linked to the total result file, and a list of teachers who can acquire the total result file based on the lecture name is acquired when the total result file is acquired. In the present embodiment, a list of teachers who can acquire the count result file is acquired when the count result file is registered, and the acquired list of teachers is registered in association with the count result file.

  The system configuration and hardware configuration in the present embodiment may be the same as those in the first embodiment.

  Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, registration processing until registering the counting result file in the file information storage unit 26 will be described with reference to the sequence diagram shown in FIG. Note that the same processing steps as those in the first embodiment are given the same step numbers, and description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  Processing performed by the multifunction machine 10 in the present embodiment may be the same as that in the first embodiment (steps 101 to 105).

  In contrast, the lesson support box 20 is different in the following points. That is, when the file generation processing unit 22 generates a count result file based on the scan data sent from the multifunction peripheral (step 203), the file generation processing unit 22 sends an instruction to the teacher list acquisition unit 25. In response to this, the teacher list acquisition unit 25 transmits a teacher list request including the lecture name acquired together with the scan data to the LMS 30 (step 221).

  In response to the teacher list acquisition request transmitted from the class support box 20, the information management unit 31 in the LMS 30 searches the lecture information storage unit 33 by the lecture name included in the teacher list acquisition request, and stores the lecture. The teacher in charge is extracted, list information including the teacher ID of the extracted teacher is generated, and provided to the class support box 20 (step 311).

  When the teacher list acquisition unit 25 acquires the teacher list from the LMS 30, the file generation processing unit 22 associates the teacher list information acquired from the LMS 30 with the aggregation result file generated in step 203 and stores it in the file information storage unit 26. Register (step 222).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the tabulation result file generated corresponding to the assignment is held and managed in association with a list of teachers in charge of the lecture to which the assignment is given.

  Next, an acquisition process that is performed when a teacher acquires a count result file registered in the file information storage unit 26 will be described with reference to a sequence diagram shown in FIG. The same processes as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same step numbers, and description thereof is omitted as appropriate.

  The processing performed by the multifunction machine 10 in the present embodiment may be the same as that in the first embodiment (steps 111 to 116).

  In contrast, the lesson support box 20 is different in the following points. That is, when the file provision processing unit 23 receives the acquisition request including the totalization result file name from the multifunction machine 10, the file information storage unit displays a list of teachers linked to the totalization result file included in the acquisition request. 26. And it confirms whether the user ID of the teacher who requested | required acquisition is contained in the taken out list information of the teacher. When the user ID is included in the list information, the teacher determines that the teacher is a teacher having the authority to access the total result file, and the file provision processing unit 23 transmits the total result file to the multifunction machine 10. (Step 221).

  As described above, the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the timing of acquiring the teacher list information. More specifically, the faculty list information is acquired when the aggregation result file is acquired in the first embodiment, whereas the list information is acquired when the aggregation result file is acquired in the first embodiment. For example, an aggregation result file registered at the end of the period is to be acquired after a new period starts. Although the lecture itself will not change even when it enters a new period, the teacher in charge of the lecture has changed. In this case, if the lecture name is associated with the total result file, the teacher after the change can acquire the total result file. On the other hand, when a list of teachers is linked to the total result file, the teacher before change can acquire the total result file. Which one should be adopted may be selected according to the operation of the school. Alternatively, the aggregation results file may be acquired by the teachers before and after the charge change by combining the first and second embodiments.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
Depending on the lecture, there may be a change in the teacher in charge of each assignment, such as an omnibus-style lecture. In other words, this is the case where the teachers differ for each assignment given in one lecture. In this case, it may not be preferable to allow a teacher who is not in charge of a certain task within the same lecture to access a totaling result file corresponding to the task.

  Therefore, the present embodiment is characterized in that access control to the counting result file can be performed not for each lecture but for each lecture and for each task.

  The system configuration and hardware configuration in the present embodiment may be the same as those in the first and second embodiments. In the present embodiment, what has been a lecture in the above description may be replaced with a combination of a lecture and an assignment.

  For example, in the process of registering the summary result file, the list information of the lectures is acquired (steps 102, 202, 301, and 103) where the list information of the lectures is acquired. The assignment of the lecture is also specified, and the combination of the lecture and the assignment received from the multifunction machine 10 is registered and registered in the tabulation result file (steps 104 and 204). Or the list information of the teacher corresponding to the combination of the lecture and the subject received from the multifunction machine 10 is acquired from the LMS 30 and linked to the aggregation result file (steps 221, 311 and 222).

  In addition, in the acquisition process of the aggregation result file, the teacher list information corresponding to the combination of the lecture and the task associated with the aggregation result file is acquired from the LMS 30 (steps 213, 214, 311).

  In this way, it is possible to control not only to lectures but also to assignments so that faculty who can access the total result file for each assignment can be discriminated even for the same lecture.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to effectively control the access to the aggregation result file by using existing information registered in the LMS 30 without setting security information. It becomes.
