(Processing-Examination availability information storage process)
First, the examination availability information storage process will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the examination availability information storage process (steps are abbreviated as “S” in the following description of each process). The "examination availability information storage process" is roughly a process executed by the answering terminal device 2, and specifically, whether or not the state of the answering terminal device 2 is suitable for taking an examination. It is a process of determining whether or not the test is performed, and is a process executed before the test process described later. For example, it is performed before the day before the test is performed, at least about 1 hour before the start of the test. This is an assumed process, and as an example, it is a process for storing the examination availability information in the recording unit 27 of FIG. The timing of executing this test admissibility information storage process is arbitrary, but for example, a user performs a predetermined operation via the touch pad 22 (for example, the control unit 28 displays a pre-preparation screen for pre-preparing the test. It will be displayed on the display 23, and will be activated when the user taps the "Preparation for Exam" button on the pre-preparation screen). ..

First, in SA1 of FIG. 9, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 acquires and stores user information and a still image of the user. Specifically, for user information, for example, an input screen for inputting a name and date of birth as user information is displayed on the display 23, and the user can use the touch pad 22 to display his / her own name and date. When the user information indicating the date of birth is input, the input user information is acquired, and the acquired user information is stored in the recording unit 27.

As for the still image, for example, after inputting the above-mentioned user information, the user turns his / her face toward the camera which is the imaging unit 24 of FIG. 4 and captures the still image via the touch pad 22. When a predetermined operation for this purpose (for example, an operation of tapping the "imaging" button displayed on the display 23) is performed, the control unit 28 controls the imaging unit 24 to capture a still image of the user's face. In addition, after acquiring information indicating the current date and time measured by the time measuring unit 26 as imaging time information, the captured still images and the acquired imaging time information are recorded in the recording unit 27.

Here, for example, regarding the user information, when the "user A" inputs his / her "name" = "AAAA" and his / her "date of birth" = "March 2, 1985", the answer terminal. The control unit 28 of the device 201 acquires and stores "AAAA, March 2, 1985" as user information. Further, for example, in the case of a still image, for example, when the "user A" turns his / her face toward the camera which is the imaging unit 24 of FIG. 4 and performs a predetermined operation after inputting the above-mentioned user information. In addition, the control unit 28 of the response terminal device 201 controls the image pickup unit 24 to image the still image "Is001" of the face of the "user A", and the timekeeping unit 26 sets the current date and time. After acquiring the indicated information "10:00 on April 9" as the imaging time information, these captured "still images" = "Is001" and the acquired "imaging time information" = "April 9". "10:00" is recorded in the recording unit 27.

Next, in SA2 of FIG. 9, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 acquires free space information. The "free space information" is information indicating the above-mentioned free space (that is, the remaining capacity in which the information in the recording unit 27 can be stored). Specifically, although it is arbitrary, for example, the maximum amount of information that can be stored in the recording unit 27 (that is, the amount corresponding to the size of the flash memory) is defined in the specifications, and is currently recorded in the recording unit 27. Focusing on the fact that the amount of information provided can be specified by an arbitrary method, the free space is specified based on the amount corresponding to the difference between the above-mentioned maximum amount of information and the current amount of information, and the specified free space is specified. Acquire free space information indicating the capacity. As a method for acquiring this free space information, any other method may be used. Here, for example, when the free space of the recording unit 27 of the answering terminal device 201 is "1200 MB (megabytes)", the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 201 indicates the free space information indicating "1200 MB (megabytes)". To get. In the following description, the unit "MB (megabyte)" will be omitted as appropriate.

Next, in SA3 of FIG. 9, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 determines whether or not the state of the answering terminal device 2 is suitable for the examination. Specifically, although it is optional, for example, in consideration of the fact that it is necessary to secure the minimum necessary free space for recording the image and audio information in the recording unit 27 in the test process described later, the following process is performed. I do. Specifically, it is assumed that the threshold information for pass / fail judgment is recorded in the recording unit 27, the threshold information for pass / fail judgment is compared with the free capacity indicated by the free capacity information acquired by SA2, and the judgment is made based on the comparison result. do. The “acceptability determination threshold information” is threshold information for determining whether or not the state of the answering terminal device 2 is suitable for the examination, and specifically, information to be compared with the free space. For example, a case where the threshold information for determining whether or not the possibility is set to "500" will be described.

More specifically about the processing of SA3, when the free space indicated by the free space information acquired by SA2 is less than the threshold information for determining whether or not to be recorded in the recording unit 27, the above-mentioned minimum necessary free space is secured. Since it has not been done, it is determined that the state of the answering terminal device 2 is not suitable for the examination (NO of SA3), and the process shifts to SA5. Further, when the free space indicated by the free space information acquired by SA2 is equal to or greater than the threshold information for determining whether or not to be recorded in the recording unit 27, the above-mentioned minimum necessary free space is secured, so that it is for answering. It is determined that the state of the terminal device 2 is suitable for the examination (YES of SA3), and the process proceeds to SA4. Here, for example, when the free space of the recording unit 27 of the answering terminal device 201 is "1200", the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 201 has acquired the free space information indicating "1200" in SA2. Since the "1200" is "passability determination threshold information" = "500" or more, it is determined that the state of the answering terminal device 2 is suitable for the examination.

Next, in SA4 of FIG. 9, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 stores "OK" (that is, information indicating that the test can be taken) as the test availability information of the recording unit 27. End the process. In this case, the user may be notified that the test can be taken by displaying a message such as "The test is possible" on the control unit 28 and the display 23. Here, for example, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 201 stores "OK" as the examination availability information of the recording unit 27, and displays the above-mentioned message.

On the other hand, in SA5 after determining that the state of the answering terminal device 2 is not suitable for the examination in SA3 of FIG. 9 (NO of SA3), the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 is the recording unit 27. "Impossible" (that is, information indicating that it is not possible (impossible) to take the test) is stored as the test availability information, and the process is terminated. In this case, the control unit 28 displays a message on the display 23 such as "The test cannot be taken because the free memory space is insufficient. Please delete unnecessary information to secure the free space." By displaying, the user may be notified that it is not possible to take the test and the action to be taken.

After this SA5, the user performs an operation such as deleting unnecessary information, and then taps the above-mentioned "preparation for examination" button again to execute the examination availability information storage process. In this case, since the user information of SA1 and the like are already stored, the SA1 may be skipped and the process may not be executed. This completes the examination availability information storage process.

(Processing-Test processing)
Next, the test process will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the test process. The "test process" is generally a process executed by the answering terminal device 2, specifically, a process executed after executing an examination availability information storage process, for example, for answering. This is a process for causing the user of the terminal device 2 to take a test. The timing of executing this test process is arbitrary, but for example, a user can perform a predetermined operation via the touch pad 22 (for example, the control unit 28 stores “OK” as test availability information of the recording unit 27. If so, the test screen for taking the test will be displayed on the display 23, and it will be activated when the user taps the "take" button on the test screen), and the test process will be performed. I will explain from the place where it was started.

Note that this test process is configured so that the above-mentioned "take test" button is not displayed when "impossible" is stored as the test passability information of the recording unit 27. Therefore, the test process is described in FIG. In the determination of SA3 in the examination availability information storage process, it is determined that the state of the answering terminal device 2 is suitable for the examination (YES of SA3), and "OK" is stored as the examination availability information in SA4. Since it is executed only in the above-mentioned case, the test process is executed in a state where the above-mentioned minimum necessary free space is secured.

First, in SB1 of FIG. 10, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 displays the test ID input screen on the display 23.

=== Screen ===
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a test ID input screen. The "test ID input screen" is a screen for inputting a test ID, and as shown in FIG. 11, for example, a screen in which the test ID input field 40 is displayed. The test ID input field 40 is an input field for inputting a test ID.
=== Processing ===
The processing of SB1 in FIG. 10 is specifically arbitrary, but for example, the test ID input screen of FIG. 11 is generated and displayed on the display 23.

Next, in SB2 of FIG. 11, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 acquires and stores user information, a still image, and the like, and a test ID. Specifically, although it is optional, for example, the user taps the test ID input field 40 in FIG. 11 and then performs a predetermined operation via the touch pad 22 to input a test ID that identifies the test to be taken by the user. In this case, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 acquires the input test ID, and the user information stored in the recording unit 27 in SA1 of FIG. 9 (that is, via the touch pad 22). (User information entered in It is stored as user information and test ID in the information, and the acquired still image and imaging time information are stored as pre-test still image information in FIG. 7.

Here, for example, "User A" inputs "IDt001" as a test ID for identifying the test to be taken by performing a predetermined operation via the touch pad 22 after tapping the test ID input field 40 in FIG. If so, the control unit 28 of the response terminal device 201 acquires the input "test ID" = "IDt001", and also stores the "user information" = "AA" in the recording unit 27 in SA1 of FIG. Acquired "AA, March 2, 1985", and acquired "still image" = "Is001" and "imaging time information" = "April 9, 10:00" recorded in the recording unit 27 by SA1. After that, the acquired "user information" = "AAAA, March 2, 1985" and "test ID" = "IDt001", and "user information" = "AAAA" in the terminal-side response-related information in FIG. , 1985 March 2, 1985 ”and“ Test ID ”=“ IDt001 ”, and acquired“ Still image ”=“ Is001 ”and“ Imaging time information ”=“ April 9, 10:00 ” Is stored as "pre-test still image information" = "Is001 (10:00 on April 9)" in the response-related information on the terminal side of FIG.

Next, in SB3 of FIG. 10, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 executes the mode adjustment process. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the mode adjustment process. The “mode adjustment process” is a process for adjusting the above-mentioned imaging mode and sound collecting mode. Specifically, the still image mode information, the moving image mode information, and the sound collecting mode information in the recording unit 27 of FIG. Hereinafter, it is also referred to as "each mode information").

In SC1 of FIG. 12, the adjustment unit 281 of the answering terminal device 2 acquires free space information. Specifically, although it is arbitrary, for example, as in the case of SA2 in FIG. 9, the free space information indicating the free space of the recording unit 27 is acquired. Here, for example, the adjustment unit 281 of the answering terminal device 201 acquires the free space information indicating "1200".

In SC2 of FIG. 12, the adjusting unit 281 of the answering terminal device 2 determines the imaging mode and the sound collecting mode based on the free space information acquired by SC1, and records "each mode information" indicating each of the determined modes. By storing it in the unit 27, the imaging mode and the sound collecting mode are adjusted. The specific processing is arbitrary, but for example, the smaller the free space indicated by the free space information acquired by SC1, the smaller the size of the video and still image to be captured and the audio information to be picked up (that is, the amount of information is smaller). It is optional as long as the imaging mode and the sound collecting mode are adjusted so as to reduce the number of), but for example, a case where the mode determination table information is recorded in the recording unit 27 and the mode determination table information is used will be described. do.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating the table information for determining the mode. The "table information for determining the mode" is information used for determining or adjusting the imaging mode and the sound collecting mode, and as shown in FIG. 13, the image quality information and the number of times of imaging are obtained with respect to the range of free space information. Information, sound quality information, and sound collection frequency information are associated with each other. In the mode determination table information of FIG. 13, for the range of free space information indicating the free space of less than "1000", "third image quality", "5 times", "third sound quality", and "3". "Times" are associated, and "second image quality", "7 times", "second sound quality", etc. for the range of free space information indicating the free space of "1000" or more and less than "2000". And "4 times" are associated with each other, and "1st image quality", "10 times", "1st sound quality", and "1st sound quality" are used for a range of free space information indicating "2000" or more free space. It is shown that "5 times" is associated.

Regarding the processing of SC2, in detail, the following processing is performed for each of the still image mode information, the moving image mode information, and the sound collection mode information.

=== Processing related to still image mode information ===
Regarding the processing related to the still image mode information, the range of the free space information corresponding to the free space indicated by the free space information acquired by SC1 is specified by referring to the mode determination table information of FIG. 13 recorded in the recording unit 27. Then, the image quality information and the number of times of imaging information associated with the specified range are acquired, the image quality indicated by the acquired image quality information is determined as the image quality for capturing a still image during the test, and the acquired number of times of imaging information is used. After determining the number of times to be shown as the number of times to image a still image during the test, the imaging timing is determined based on the determined number of times, and the image quality information indicating the determined image quality, the number of times of imaging information indicating the determined number of times, and the determination The imaging mode is adjusted by storing the imaging timing information indicating the imaging timing as the still image mode information of the recording unit 27 of FIG.

The process of determining the imaging timing in the above-mentioned processing is arbitrary. For example, after grasping the test time, an arbitrary timing corresponding to the above-mentioned determined number of times during the test time is determined as the imaging timing. You may. More specifically, for example, the test ID stored in SB2 is acquired, and the test time information associated with the same test ID as the acquired test ID is acquired by referring to the terminal-side test-related information in FIG. After specifying the time when the test is held based on the acquired test time information, an arbitrary time during the specified time may be determined as the imaging timing. From the viewpoint of surely confirming the validity of the user's test, the above-mentioned imaging timing is divided by dividing the time zone in which the test is performed into a predetermined number (for example, 3 to 5). It may be configured to determine the timing of each time zone, or it may be determined that two consecutive timings are separated by a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes to 10 minutes, etc.) or more. It may be determined by using a random function or the like without considering.

Here, for example, the adjustment unit 281 of the answering terminal device 201 refers to the mode determination table information of FIG. 13 recorded in the recording unit 27, and is the free space indicated by the free space information acquired by the SC1. "1200" specifies the range of "1000 or more and less than 2000" as the corresponding range of free space information, and "image quality information" = "second image quality" and "image quality information" associated with the specified "1000 or more and less than 2000". The "imaging count information" = "7 times" is acquired, and the "second image quality" indicated by the acquired image quality information is determined as the image quality for capturing a still image during the test, and the acquired imaging count information indicates "7". After determining the number of times to capture a still image during the test, the imaging timing is set to "13:10 on April 10", "13:23 on April 10", etc. based on the determined number of times. "Image quality information" = "second image quality", "image count information" = "7 times", and "image timing information" = "April 10 13:10", "April 10 13" "Time 23 minutes" and the like are stored as still image mode information of the recording unit 27 of FIG.

Specify the range of the corresponding free space information, acquire the image quality information and the number of imaging times information associated with the specified range, and determine the image quality indicated by the acquired image quality information as the image quality for capturing the moving image during the test. In addition, after determining the number of times indicated by the acquired imaging number information as the number of times to image a moving image during the test, the imaging timing is determined based on the determined number of times, and the image quality information indicating the determined image quality and the determined number of times are determined. The imaging mode is adjusted by storing the imaging frequency information indicating the above and the imaging timing information indicating the determined imaging timing as the moving image mode information of the recording unit 27 of FIG.

The process of determining the imaging timing in the above-mentioned process is optional, but for example, in addition to the process described in the process related to still image mode information, the continuous imaging time of the moving image (time for continuously capturing the moving image) is taken into consideration. Therefore, a process of determining that two consecutive timings are separated by a continuous imaging time (for example, 10 seconds to 30 seconds or more) may be performed.

Here, for example, the adjustment unit 281 of the answering terminal device 201 performs the same processing as the processing related to the still image mode information, and "image quality information" = "second image quality", "imaging count information" = "7 times". , And "imaging timing information" = "April 10, 13:05", "April 10, 13:32", etc. are stored as the moving image mode information of the recording unit 27 of FIG.

The processing related to the audio mode information is the same as the processing related to the still image mode information, and the free space indicated by the free space information acquired by SC1 is referred to with reference to the mode determination table information of FIG. 13 recorded in the recording unit 27. Specify the range of the corresponding free space information, acquire the sound quality information and sound collection frequency information associated with the specified range, and obtain the sound quality indicated by the acquired sound quality information, and the sound quality that collects the sound information during the test. The number of times indicated by the acquired sound collection number information is determined as the number of times the sound information is collected during the test, and then the sound collection timing is determined based on the determined number of times to obtain the determined sound quality. The sound collection mode is adjusted by storing the sound quality information shown, the sound collection number information indicating the determined number of times, and the sound collection timing information indicating the determined sound collection timing as the sound mode information of the recording unit 27 of FIG. ..

The process of determining the sound collection timing in the above-mentioned process is optional, but for example, in addition to the process described in the process related to the still image mode information, the continuous sound collection time of the audio information (sound information is continuously collected). In consideration of time), a process of determining that two consecutive timings are separated by a continuous sound collection time (for example, 10 seconds to 30 seconds, etc.) or more may be performed.

Here, for example, the adjusting unit 281 of the answering terminal device 201 performs the same processing as the processing related to the still image mode information, and "sound quality information" = "second sound quality", "sound collection frequency information" = "4. "Times" and "Sound quality information" = "April 10th 13:16", "April 10th 13:40", "April 10th 13:45", etc. are recorded in FIG. It is stored as the voice mode information of the unit 27.

Specifically, referring to the terminal-side test-related information in FIG. 6, the test time information associated with the same test ID as the test ID stored in SB2 is acquired, and the user receives the test time information based on the acquired test time information. When the start time of the test is specified, the current time is specified based on the time measurement result of the time measuring unit 26, and the specified current time does not reach the specified start time described above (that is, the current time is the start time). Since it is not yet the start time of the test (if it is earlier than the time), SB5 is repeatedly repeated until it is determined that the test is to be started without determining that the test is to be started (NO of SB5). Run. Also, when the above-mentioned specified current time reaches the above-mentioned specified start time (that is, when the current time becomes the start time transition time), the test start time has already been reached, so the test is started. (YES in SB5), and the process proceeds to SB6.

Here, for example, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 201 is associated with the same test ID as “test ID” = “IDt001” stored in SB2 with reference to the terminal-side test-related information in FIG. "Test time information" = "April 10, 13:00, 60 minutes" is acquired, and the user receives it based on the acquired "test time information" = "April 10, 13:00, 60 minutes".

The end time of the test to be taken by the user is specified, and it is determined whether or not the current time specified by the timekeeping result of the timekeeping unit 26 has reached the time 10 minutes before the specified end time. Only when it is determined, the pre-end guidance information 54 of FIG. 17 "10 minutes remaining" is displayed on the answer input screen.

Here, for example, in the repeated SB7, when the current time specified by the timing result of the timing unit 26 is "13:50", the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 201 stores the "12:50" in the SB2. "Test ID" = "Test time information" associated with the same test ID as "IDt001" = "April 10, 13:00, 60 minutes" is acquired, and the user receives it based on the acquired test time information. The "end time" of the test = "14:00" (the time after "60 minutes", which is the time limit of the start time "13:00") is specified, and it is specified by the time measurement result of the time measurement unit 26. Since the current time is "13:50", it is determined that the time has reached 10 minutes before the specified end time "14:00", and the answer input screen shows "10 remaining" in FIG. The pre-end guidance information 54 saying "It's a minute" is displayed.

Next, in SB8 of FIG. 10, the control unit 28 of the answer terminal device 2 stores the answer input information. Specifically, it is arbitrary, but for example, the user can select the options displayed in the answer input field 61 of the answer input screen of FIG. 16 or FIG. 17 by any method (for example, the radio associated with each selection). When selected by tapping a button or check box, etc.), the answer option information indicating the selected option and the question number information indicating the question number corresponding to the option are input to the answer terminal device 2. The input question number information and answer option information are acquired, and the information associated with the acquired question number information and answer option information is used as the answer input information in the terminal-side answer-related information shown in FIG.

= Third processing of SD2 =
The third process of SD2 is a process related to audio information, and when the current time reaches the sound collection timing of the moving image in SD1 (that is, the current time matches the sound collecting timing of the moving image in SD1). This is a process to be executed in the case of), and is a process of acquiring and storing the collected voice information after collecting the sound information.

Specifically, regarding the third processing of the SD2, the processing unit 282 of the answering terminal device 2 acquires the sound quality information of the sound mode information of the recording unit 27, and the sound information of the sound quality specified by the acquired sound quality information is picked up. The sound collecting unit 25 is controlled so that the sound collecting unit 25 is used to collect the sound information of the sound quality for a continuous sound collecting time (for example, 30 seconds) (that is, the adjusting unit 281 is shown in FIG. 12). The sound information was picked up based on the sound pick-up mode adjusted by SC2 of the above), and the picked-up voice information was acquired, and the information indicating the current date and time measured by the metering unit 26 was acquired as the sound pick-up time information. Above, based on the acquired voice information and sound collection time information, the test voice information in the terminal-side response-related information of FIG. 7 is stored.

Here, for example, in SD1, the current time is "April 10, 13:16", and the "sound collection timing information" of the voice mode information recorded in the recording unit 27 = "April 10, 13:16". When it is determined that the "minute" has been reached, the processing unit 282 of the answering terminal device 201 acquires the "sound quality information" = "second sound quality" of the voice mode information of the recording unit 27, and the "second sound quality" The sound collecting unit 25 is controlled so that the sound information is collected, and the sound collecting unit 25 is used to provide the sound information over the continuous sound collecting time (for example, 30 seconds) of the "second sound quality". "V101" is picked up, the picked up "voice information" = "V101" is acquired, and information indicating "April 10, 13:16", which is the current date and time measured by the timing unit 26, is collected.

When the end time of the test is specified, the current time is specified based on the time measurement result of the time measuring unit 26, and the specified current time does not reach the specified end time described above (that is, the current time is the end time). Since it is still the time during the test (when the time is earlier than), it is determined that the test is not completed (NO of SB10), the process shifts to SB7, and each of the above-mentioned processes is executed again. Also, when the above-mentioned specified current time reaches the above-mentioned specified end time (that is, when the current time becomes the end time transition time), the test end time has already been reached, so the test is ended. (YES of SB10), and the process proceeds to SB11.

Here, for example, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 201 is associated with the same test ID as “test ID” = “IDt001” stored in SB2 with reference to the terminal-side test-related information in FIG. "Test time information" = "April 10, 13:00, 60 minutes" is acquired, and the user receives it based on the acquired "test time information" = "April 10, 13:00, 60 minutes". Specify the "end time" = "14:00" of the test. Then, when the current time specified based on the timekeeping result of the timekeeping unit 26 becomes "14:00", it is determined that the test is terminated.

Next, in SB 11 of FIG. 10, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 displays the test end screen on the display 23.

=== Screen ===
FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a test end screen. The "test end screen" is a screen displayed immediately after the end of the test, and as shown in FIG. 19, for example, a time display field 41, an end guidance information 55, and an end button image 63 are displayed. .. The end guidance information 55 is information for guiding the user immediately after the end of the test, and is, for example, information for notifying that the test has been completed. The end button image 63 is a button image that is tapped when the user confirms the end of the test.

=== Processing ===
The processing of SB11 in FIG. 10 is specifically arbitrary, but for example, a test end screen is generated and displayed on the display 23. Here, for example, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 201 generates and displays the test end screen shown in FIG. Then, the "user A" recognizes that the test has been completed by visually recognizing the screen, taps the end button image 63 via the touch pad 22, and then shifts to the SB 12.

Next, in SB12 of FIG. 10, the control unit 28 of the response terminal device 2 transmits the terminal-side response-related information to the server device 1. Specifically, although it is arbitrary, for example, each information of the terminal-side response-related information of FIG. 7 is acquired, and each of the acquired information is transmitted to the server device 1 via the communication unit 21. On the other hand, the control unit 13 of the server device 1 receives each information transmitted from the answer terminal device 2, and stores each received information as each information of the server-side answer-related information of FIG.

Here, for example, the control unit 28 of the response terminal device 201 acquires each information (information specifically illustrated in FIG. 7) of the terminal-side response-related information of FIG. 7 and transmits it to the server device 1. .. On the other hand, the control unit 13 of the server device 1 receives the information transmitted from the response terminal device 2, and stores the received information as the top-level information in the server-side response-related information of FIG. This completes the test process.

(About scoring test results and confirming their validity)
By performing each of the above-mentioned processes, the server-side response-related information of FIG. 3 is stored in the server-side response-related information DB 122 of the server device 1 of FIG. Then, the manager who manages the operation of the test scores the test results of each user and confirms the validity by using an arbitrary method.

Specifically, the scoring is performed by identifying the test taken by the user with reference to the test ID of FIG. 3 and comparing the correct answer information of the specified test with the answer input information of FIG. The scoring may be performed automatically using a computer program or the like, or may be performed by visual confirmation by the grader, or may be performed in combination of these.

Specifically, the confirmation of validity is performed based on the still image information during the test, the moving image information during the test, and the audio information during the test in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, since the camera, which is the image pickup unit 24, is directed toward the display 23, the user's face is normally always imaged by the image pickup unit 24 during the test. Since the face of the user undergoing the test is shown in the still image in the still image information during the test and the moving image in the moving image information during the test in FIG. 3, the direction or line of sight of the face in the still image and the moving image is shown. You may confirm the legitimacy that cheating is not performed based on the above. Further, since the still image in the pre-test still image information of FIG. 3 is an image corresponding to the photograph of the examination ticket, the person in the still image and the still image and the test in the test still image information of FIG. 3 By confirming that the persons appearing in the moving image in the medium moving image information match each other, it is possible to confirm the validity that the so-called replacement ball test is not performed. Also, based on the voice information in the voice information during the test, the justification that the user has not received voice advice during the test (that is, cheating is not performed) may be confirmed. The validity of these may be confirmed automatically by using a computer program or the like, manually, or in combination.

In this way, even when each user takes the test at home, the test can be operated efficiently and fairly.

(Effect of this embodiment)
According to the present embodiment, by capturing a confirmation image for confirming the validity of the user's test, for example, the user cheats during the test (for example, by shifting the direction of the face or the line of sight). Since it is possible to confirm that the person has not responded while referring to the reference book, it is possible to carry out the test fairly. Further, by adjusting the imaging mode based on the free space, for example, the confirmation image can be reliably stored even when the free space of the recording unit 27 is relatively small, so that the test is conducted fairly. It becomes possible to do.

In addition, by capturing a moving image or a still image of the user under test as a confirmation image, for example, the direction or line of sight of the user's face at a predetermined timing can be confirmed by the still image, or the user's operation can be performed by the moving image. Since it can be confirmed, the test can be conducted more fairly.

Further, by adjusting the image quality, the number of times of imaging, or the imaging timing of the confirmation image, for example, the confirmation image suitable for confirming the validity of the user's test is imaged regardless of the amount of free space. Is possible.

In addition, by collecting the confirmation voice information for confirming the validity of the user's test, for example, during the test, the user responds while receiving voice advice from the surroundings. Since it can be confirmed that the test is not performed, the test can be conducted more fairly.

Further, by adjusting the sound collection mode based on the free space, for example, even when the free space of the recording unit 27 is relatively small, the confirmation voice information can be reliably stored, so that the test is fair. It will be possible to carry out.

Further, by adjusting the sound quality, the number of times of sound collection, or the timing of sound collection of the confirmation voice information, for example, the confirmation voice information suitable for confirming the validity of the user's test regardless of the amount of free space. Can be picked up.

Further, by providing the touch pad 22 for inputting the user's answer to the test question, it is possible to confirm the validity of the user's test by using, for example, at least the answer terminal device 2 for inputting the answer to the test question. It becomes.

[III] Modifications to the Embodiment The embodiments according to the present invention have been described above, but the specific configuration and means of the present invention are within the scope of the technical idea of each invention described in the claims. Can be arbitrarily modified and improved. Hereinafter, such a modification will be described.

(About the problem to be solved and the effect of the invention)
First, the problem to be solved by the invention and the effect of the invention are not limited to the above-mentioned contents, and may differ depending on the implementation environment and the details of the configuration of the invention, and only a part of the above-mentioned problems. Or may produce only some of the effects described above.

(About distribution and integration)
Further, each of the above-mentioned electrical components is a functional concept, and does not necessarily have to be physically configured as shown in the figure. That is, the specific form of dispersion or integration of each part is not limited to the one shown in the figure, and all or part of them are functionally or physically dispersed or integrated in arbitrary units according to various loads and usage conditions. Can be configured. The term "system" in the present application is not limited to a system composed of a plurality of devices, but includes a system composed of a single device. Further, the "device" in the present application is not limited to a device composed of a single device, but includes a device composed of a plurality of devices. For example, some functions of the server device 1 may be provided in the answer terminal device 2 or the problem terminal device 3, or some functions of the answer terminal device 2 or the problem terminal device 3 may be provided in the server device. It may be provided in 1. Further, the data structure of the DB of each device may be arbitrarily changed.

(About shape, numerical value, structure, time series)
With respect to the components illustrated in the embodiments and drawings, the shapes, numerical values, or the interrelationships of the structures or time series of the plurality of components shall be arbitrarily modified and improved within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. Can be done.

(About answer terminal equipment and problem terminal equipment)
Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the problem is displayed on the problem terminal device 3 and the answer is input to the answer terminal device 2 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to these. For example, the question may be displayed and the answer may be input by one terminal device (for example, the answer terminal device 2 or the question terminal device 3). By using a personal computer as a test terminal difference, both the display of the question and the input of the answer may be configured so that the personal computer can be used.

(About the timing of information transmission)
Further, in the above embodiment, the case where each information of the terminal-side response-related information of FIG. 7 is transmitted in SB12 of FIG. 10 has been described, but the timing of transmitting each information is arbitrary. For example, SB8 of FIG. The answer input information may be transmitted each time the answer input information is stored in, or the test in-test information may be transmitted each time the test in-test information is stored in SD2 of FIG. By transmitting each piece of information at different timings in this way, it is possible to reduce the communication load immediately after the end of the test.

(About time management)
Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the test time is managed on the response terminal device 2 side has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at the timing when the opening time information in the response-related information on the terminal side of FIG. 7 is stored, the opening time information is transmitted to the server device 1, and the server device 1 is configured to manage the test time by the user. May be good. In this case, the time specified by the opening time information may be regarded as the start time of the test and managed.

(Determination of imaging mode and sound collection mode)
Further, in SC2 of FIG. 12 of the above-described embodiment, the case where the imaging mode and the sound collecting mode are determined based on the mode determination table information of FIG. 13 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the imaging mode may be determined so as to randomly capture a still image or moving image having a relatively high image quality and a still image or moving image having a relatively low image quality by determining by an arbitrary method. The imaging mode may be determined so as to capture a moving image having a relatively low image quality and to capture a still image having a relatively high image quality at an arbitrary timing. Further, the sound collection mode may be configured in the same manner, or a still image, a moving image, and audio information may be arbitrarily combined so that the total amount of these information becomes a predetermined amount of information. ..

(About the test start screen)
Further, the time limit for displaying the test start screen of FIG. 15 may be set. For example, the time limit is set to 30 minutes, and in SB6, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 displays the test start screen, and then displays the test start screen based on the timekeeping result of the timekeeping unit 26. The elapsed time from the start is specified, and the above-mentioned predetermined operation (for example, an operation for displaying the next screen of the test start screen of FIG. 15, for example, a flick or swipe operation) is performed. If the specified elapsed time exceeds the time limit, the test may be treated as late and the test process may be terminated. In this case, a message indicating that the display 23 has been treated as late (for example, a message such as "I was late and could not take the test") may be displayed. In addition, when the test ID input screen of FIG. 11 is displayed, the concept of being late may be applied in the same manner.

(About problem display)
Further, in the above embodiment, the display 33 of the problem terminal device 3 is opened by opening the problem information using the password (password information for opening the problem) displayed on the test start screen of FIG. 15 in SB6 of FIG. In the process of displaying the problem, any technique may be adopted in consideration of the visibility of the problem or the prevention of fraudulent activity. For example, when the problem terminal device 3 is provided with a function of accessing external information (for example, a function of searching a WEB site using a so-called browser and displaying arbitrary information), the test is underway. May turn off the feature to prevent fraudulent activity based on external information. The specific implementation method is arbitrary, but for example, while the control unit 35 of the problem terminal device 3 is displaying the problem on the display 33, even if a command to start the browser is input, the relevant implementation method is applicable. It may be configured to ignore the instruction and perform no control (that is, turn off the function of accessing external information). Further, for example, the control unit 35 of the problem terminal device 3 controls the display 33 so that the problem is fixedly displayed in full screen display, and the icon cannot be operated by hiding the icon for starting the browser. It may be configured so that the browser cannot be used during the test (that is, the function to access external information is turned off). In the latter case, both fraud prevention and visibility improvement can be realized. Further, in the latter case, for example, at the timing after the end of the test (for example, at an arbitrary timing after determining that the test is to be completed at SB10 in FIG. 10 (YES in SB10)), the answer terminal device 2 transmits a test end signal to the problem terminal device 3, and when the problem terminal device 3 receives the test end signal, the control ignores the command to start the browser and the problem is displayed in full screen. By terminating the control fixed with, the function of accessing external information may be turned on and restored.

(About the end of the test)
Further, any step in FIG. 10 may be omitted. For example, SB10 to SB12 may be omitted, and the user may end the test at his / her own discretion and perform a predetermined operation to transmit the terminal-side answer-related information. In this case, the processes of SB7 to SB9 may be repeatedly executed until a predetermined operation is performed by the user. In this configuration, the possibility that the user answers after the test end time is also considered, so from the viewpoint of maintaining fairness, the control unit 28 records the time when the user inputs the answer. Only when the time falls within the time limit of the examination, the entered answer may be valid and scored.

(About the display of the remaining time)
Further, the remaining time of the test (that is, the time from the current time to the end time of the test) together with the information in the time display field 41 or instead of the information in the time display field 41 on the answer input screen of FIG. 16 or FIG. May be configured to display. The display of the remaining time is arbitrary, but for example, it may be displayed as text information such as "30 minutes" or "29 minutes", or a bar image corresponding to the length of time is displayed. By shortening the length of the bar image as the remaining time decreases, the remaining time may be intuitively grasped.

(About real-time warning (1))
In addition, the function for confirming the validity described in "(Scoring of test results and confirmation of validity)" of the embodiment is implemented as a function of the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2, and then the test is performed. If the validity cannot be confirmed by referring to the still image information during the test, the video information during the test, the audio information during the test, etc. in FIG. 7, or if there is a suspicion of cheating, or there is a possibility of cheating. If the trait is relatively high, a warning may be output to the user, or the test may be forcibly terminated and treated as if there was fraudulent activity.

(About real-time warning (2))
Further, the technique described in the above-mentioned "(Regarding real-time warning (No. 1))" may be arbitrarily applied. For example, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 performs a predetermined image recognition process (for example, machine learning performed in advance) for an image (an image of an arbitrary frame rate) currently captured by a camera which is an imaging unit 24. By performing image recognition processing performed using the model generated by (or other known image recognition processing, etc.), a warning should be given to the user who is taking the test using the response terminal device 2. Warning target state (for example, the state in which the user's figure is out of the frame of the camera which is the image pickup unit 24 and the user is not shown in the image captured by the image pickup unit 24 has exceeded a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) or more. It is configured to be able to detect a state, or a predetermined state such as a state in which the user's face or line of sight is directed in a direction in which cheating may be suspected.

Then, when the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 detects the above-mentioned warning target state, the user displays warning information indicating that the warning target state has been detected on the display 23. It may be configured to output a warning to. In addition, when the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 detects the above-mentioned warning target state together with or instead of the processing for outputting this warning, a predetermined image in the case of detecting the warning target state. The image to be processed by the recognition process is acquired, the acquired image is recorded in the recording unit 27 as a confirmation image, and the stored confirmation image is transmitted to the server device 1 at an arbitrary timing. You may. Regarding the image to be processed by the predetermined image recognition process in the case of detecting the warning target state here, if the warning target state is detected based on one image, the one is said. Images may be acquired and recorded as still images, or when a warning target state is detected based on a plurality of consecutive images, the plurality of consecutive images may be acquired and recorded as a moving image. You may.

When the process described here is adopted, when the predetermined image recognition process described above is performed, the image quality information included in the still image mode information or the moving image mode information recorded in the recording unit 27 of the answer terminal device 2 It may be configured to take an image with the image quality indicated by, or it may be configured to take an image with a predetermined image quality. Further, the process described here may be interpreted as being executed by the processing unit 282.

(About securing time for information transmission)
Further, in consideration of the time until all the information is transmitted in the SB 12 of FIG. 10 (for example, the time from the end of the test to 3 to 5 minutes later) and the point that the communication state needs to be maintained, the display 23 A message such as "Answer is being sent" or "Answer is being collected" may be displayed to encourage the maintenance of the communication status.

(About information during the test)
Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the still image, the moving image, and the audio information are acquired and stored as the information during the test has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the information of only any one of them or any one of them is used. Only two pieces of information may be used.

Further, the type of information acquired and stored as the information during the test may be adjusted according to the free space in the recording unit 27 of the answering terminal device 2. Specifically, although it is optional, for example, the adjusting unit 281 may adjust the information used as the information during the test based on the free space in the recording unit 27. Specifically, when the free space in the recording unit 27 is less than "600", the adjusting unit 281 decides to use only one of the still image, moving image, or audio information as the test information. If the free space is "600" or more and less than "700", it is decided to use only two of the still image, moving image, or audio information as the test information, and the said When the free space is "700" or more, it may be decided to use all of the still image, moving image, or audio information as the test information. Then, using the determined in-test information, each process described in the embodiment may be configured to be performed.

(About the arrangement of answering terminals)
Further, during the test, in order to confirm the validity of the test, it is necessary to image the user's face with the imaging unit 24 of the answering terminal device 2, and it is necessary to point the imaging unit 24 toward the user's face. Therefore, although not limited, for example, the answering terminal device 2 may be used by the user by hand, but it is desirable to use the answering terminal device 2 fixed at a predetermined position.

(About interlocking)
Further, the smartphone of the answering terminal device 2 and the personal computer of the problem display may be configured to work together, such as when the button of the smartphone is clicked to be authenticated and the problem is displayed on the personal computer (personal computer) screen.

(About the phone under test)
Further, when a smartphone is used as the answering terminal device 2, the telephone function may be turned off by an arbitrary method during the test so that no incoming call is received during the test.

(About access restrictions)
Further, in the above embodiment, a technique may be adopted to prevent the test processing of FIG. 10 from being performed at the same timing in a plurality of test terminal devices as the same user. The specific content is arbitrary, but for example, a terminal ID for uniquely identifying the answering terminal device 2 itself is set and recorded in the recording unit 27 of each answering terminal device 2. Then, by performing an arbitrary operation by the user at an arbitrary timing before executing the test process, the terminal ID of the answering terminal device 2 used by the user himself / herself and the user information (for example, name and year of birth) of the user are used. Information indicating the date) is transmitted to the server device 1 and recorded in the recording unit 12 as test account information.

Then, when the test process of FIG. 10 is started, the answer terminal device 2 receives the user information of the user who takes the test using the answer terminal device 2 (for example, the user information stored in SA1 of FIG. 9, or the user information stored in SA1 of FIG. , User information input by a predetermined operation by the user), and after acquiring the terminal ID recorded in the recording unit 27, the acquired user information and the terminal ID are transmitted to the server device 1. After that, the control unit 13 of the server device 1 receives the user information and the terminal ID, and is based on whether or not the combination of the received user information and the terminal ID is recorded in the recording unit 12 as test account information. And perform the following processing. For example, if it is recorded, the permission signal is transmitted to the answering terminal device 2 to activate the test process of FIG. 10, while if it is not recorded, the prohibition signal is transmitted to the answering terminal device 2. As a result, the start of the test process of FIG. 10 may be prohibited so that the test process cannot be executed. When processing so that the test process cannot be executed, a warning message such as "You have logged in from another terminal" may be displayed on the display 23.

(About password information for opening)
Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the problem of the problem information recorded in the problem terminal device 3 is opened by using the opening password information has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a technique is adopted in which the problem of the problem information is automatically opened at a predetermined timing (for example, the timing of starting the test) in cooperation with the server device 1 without the user inputting the password information for opening. May be good.

The specific content is arbitrary, but for example, immediately after determining that the test is to be started in the determination of SB5 in FIG. 10 (YES in SB5), the response terminal device 2 communicates with the server device 1. Then, in the server-side test-related information of FIG. 2 of the server device 1, the question-opening password information associated with the same test ID as the test ID stored in SB2 is acquired, and the acquired question-opening password information is obtained. It is transmitted to the problem terminal device 3, and the control unit 35 of the problem terminal device 3 receives the problem opening password information and uses the received problem opening password information to open the problem of the problem information. It may be configured as. Alternatively, for example, without coordinating with the server device 1, for example, immediately after determining that the test is to be started in the determination of SB5 in FIG. 10 (YES in SB5), refer to the terminal-side test-related information in FIG. Then, the question opening password information associated with the same test ID as the test ID stored in SB2 is acquired, and the acquired question opening password information is transmitted to the question terminal device 3 to obtain the above case. Similarly, it may be configured to open the problem. Or, for example, when the user who takes the test such as "Are you accessing from this terminal?" Is inquired to the problem terminal device 3 at the start of the test and the tap operation of the "YES" button is accepted. The problem may be configured to be opened automatically.

(Communication capacity)
In addition, assuming a case where the contracted communication capacity limit is exceeded, the following processing may be performed. For example, in SB12 of FIG. 10, when each information in the terminal-side response-related information of FIG. 7 is transmitted to the server device 1, communication is not possible in the middle due to the contractual communication capacity limitation of the answer terminal device 2 which is a smartphone. For each piece of information, a priority for transmission may be set, and each piece of information may be transmitted based on the set priority. For example, the user information and the answer input information are transmitted first, and then the amount of information in the test information (test still image information, test video information, and test voice information is likely to be the smallest. Information, or any of these information that is determined to be transmitted first) may be transmitted, and then the remaining information may be transmitted. Then, if communication becomes impossible while each information in the terminal-side response-related information shown in FIG. 7 is being transmitted to the server device 1, a message notifying that untransmitted information exists on the display 23 (for example,). , "Communication was interrupted while sending test-related information. Please restore communication within 24 hours because some information has not been sent.") May be displayed. Then, when the user who sees this message restores the communication by an arbitrary method (for example, a method of paying an additional fee for restoring the communication), the above-mentioned untransmitted information is transmitted. It may be configured. Further, for example, only the above-mentioned untransmitted information or each information in the terminal-side response-related information of FIG. 7 including the untransmitted information can be obtained by using its own other terminal device (for example, a personal computer or the like). It may be transmitted via an internet line such as optical communication. As described here, when communication becomes impossible, it is necessary to transmit the terminal-side response-related information shown in FIG. 7 at a later timing (for example, any timing within 24 hours). From the viewpoint of ensuring security, all or part of the information related to the answer on the terminal side may be stored in an encrypted format.

(About the question format)
In the above embodiment, the case where the test question is in a format corresponding to a so-called multiple-choice test has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the exam questions may be in any format other than the format corresponding to the multiple-choice exam, and as an example, they may be in the form of a so-called descriptive exam in which answers are given in letters, or It may be in the form of a speaking test in which answers are given verbally. Then, in the case of the descriptive test format, the user may be configured to input the character information for the answer via the touch pad 22 to answer, and in the case of the speaking test format. , The user may be configured to input the voice information for the answer through the microphone which is the sound collecting unit 25 and make the answer.

(About the pause part (1))
In addition, it is conceivable that the user temporarily leaves the test in a predetermined case (for example, when he / she feels urge to urinate or defecate during the test and visits the toilet) based on a physiological phenomenon or the like during the test. Assuming that, a temporary stop unit may be provided.

The "pause unit" is a pause means for performing a process related to the user temporarily leaving the test during the test, and for example, at least stopping the imaging of the confirmation image or collecting the confirmation voice information. It is a means to either stop the sound. The method of mounting the pause unit is arbitrary, but it may be implemented as a function of the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2, for example.

Specifically, for example, the pause unit of the answering terminal device 2 is a pause operation performed by the user via the touch pad 22, and the pause operation performed when the user temporarily leaves the test (the pause operation ( For example, when a predetermined operation (for example, a tap operation with two fingers) is performed via the touch pad 22, a "pause" button and a "resume" button are displayed on the display 23. When the operation of tapping the "pause" button, etc.) is accepted, the imaging of the confirmation image is stopped and the sound collection of the confirmation voice information is stopped. Specifically, for example, when a pause operation is accepted, SB9 in the test process of FIG. 10 is skipped and the test is being conducted until the resume operation described later is performed (that is, while the user is away from the test). By not executing the information storage process, the imaging of the confirmation image and the sound collection of the confirmation voice information may be stopped. Alternatively, for example, when a pause operation is accepted, the operation of the image pickup unit 24 is simply turned off (that is, controlled so as not to operate) until the restart operation described later is performed, and the sound collection unit 25 is simply turned off. By turning off the operation, the imaging of the confirmation image and the sound collection of the confirmation voice information may be stopped.

Next, the temporary stop unit of the answer terminal device 2 is a restart operation performed by the user via the touch pad 22, and the restart operation performed when returning to the test temporarily separated (for example, described above). As described above, when a predetermined operation (for example, a tap operation with two fingers) is performed via the touch pad 22, the "pause" button and the "resume" button are displayed on the display 23. When the operation of tapping the "restart" button, etc.) is accepted, the imaging of the confirmation image is restored (restarted) and the sound collection of the confirmation voice information is restored (restarted). Specifically, for example, when the restart operation is accepted, the SB9 in the test process of FIG. 10 is not skipped, and the information storage process during the test is executed in the same manner as before the "pause" button is tapped. , The imaging of the confirmation image may be restored (restarted) and the sound collection of the confirmation voice information may be restored (resumed). Further, for example, when the restart operation is accepted, the operation of the imaging unit 24 is simply turned on (that is, controlled to operate), and the operation of the sound collecting unit 25 is simply turned on to capture the confirmation image. (Resume) and the sound collection of the confirmation voice information may be restored (restarted).

(About the pause part (2))
In addition, when the "pause section" explained in "(Pause section (1))" above is provided, the place temporarily separated from the test or in a place not shown in the confirmation image or the confirmation voice information. In a place where voice is not picked up, information about the answer given by the user before leaving the test can be obtained via the Internet using an arbitrary method (for example, a method of referring to a reference book or another terminal device). In order to prevent fraudulent acts of correcting the answer after returning to the test after fraudulently grasping the information by a search method or the like), the following processing may be performed. Specifically, for example, when the user temporarily leaves the test, the information input by the user before the departure may be configured so that it cannot be corrected after returning.

More specifically, for example, when the control unit 28 of the answer terminal device 2 receives the above-mentioned pause operation by the user, it is already stored in the answer input information in the terminal side answer related information of FIG. Each piece of information (that is, each piece of information that indicates the answer that the user entered before leaving the exam temporarily) is associated with "(impossible)", which is information that indicates that it cannot be modified. Store. Here, for example, in the example of FIG. 7, "Q1: 1", "Q2: 4", and "Q3: 2" are stored, but in this case, "Q1: 1 (impossible)" and "Q2:" "(Impossible)" is associated and stored for each of "4 (impossible)" and "Q3: 2 (impossible)".

Then, when the control unit 28 of the answer terminal device 2 receives the above-mentioned restart operation by the user, the answer option information and the question number information are input by the user's operation as described in SB8 of FIG. If the entered answer option information and question number information are information corresponding to the information associated with "(impossible)", the entered answer option information and question number information will be obtained from the examination. It is determined that the information is related to the answer entered before leaving temporarily and will not be edited from the viewpoint of preventing fraudulent activity, and the entered information will not be stored as the answer input information in FIG. 7. If the user attempts to correct the answer entered before leaving the test, a message such as "The answer entered before leaving the test cannot be corrected" is displayed on the display 23. You may notify the user that the answer entered before leaving the exam cannot be modified. On the other hand, when the answer option information and the question number information are input by the user's operation, the information corresponding to the information to which the input answer option information and the question number information are not associated with "(impossible)". In the case of, the same processing as in the case described in the embodiment is performed.

(About the pause part (3))
Further, in the case of adopting the technique described in the above-mentioned "(Pause portion (2))", for example, after confirming in advance the problem that the user has not answered yet, the test is temporarily performed. In a place where the confirmation image does not appear or the voice is not picked up by the confirmation voice information, the information is illegally grasped by the above-mentioned arbitrary method, and the answer is given after returning to the test. In order to prevent the above, the following processing may be performed. Specifically, for example, when temporarily leaving the exam, even if the questions that have not been answered yet and can be answered after returning are configured so that they cannot be confirmed before temporarily leaving the exam. good.

More specifically, for example, first, communication is first performed between the answer terminal device 2 and the question terminal device 3, and the control unit 28 of the answer terminal device 2 automatically causes the question terminal device 3 to communicate. Configure to display the problem. Specifically, for example, as illustrated in FIGS. 16 and 17, attention is paid to the fact that the answer input field 61 for inputting the answers to a predetermined number (for example, two or the like) of questions is displayed on the answer input screen. Then, the control unit 28 of the answer terminal device 2 has a problem corresponding to the field displayed in the answer input field 61 currently displayed on the display 23 (in the example of FIG. 16, the question of the first question number). , And the problem corresponding to the question of question number 2) are to be transmitted to the problem terminal device 3, and the control 35 unit of the problem terminal device 3 displays the problem. The problem that is supposed to be displayed by receiving the problem signal and displaying the problem display signal may be configured to be displayed on the display 33 of the problem terminal device 3. Here, for example, when the answer input screen of FIG. 16 is displayed on the answer terminal device 2, the question terminal device 3 corresponds to the question of the first question number and the question of the second question number. When only the questions to be asked are displayed and the answer input screen of FIG. 17 is displayed, the question terminal device 3 has the question number 15 and the question number 16 Only the problems corresponding to will be displayed. Further, only when the answer to the question corresponding to the answer input field 61 of FIG. 16 or the like is given, the field for answering the next question is displayed by tapping the forward button image 62. By configuring the configuration, all the answers to the problems displayed on the problem terminal device 3 may be answered.

With this configuration, all the answers to the questions displayed on the question terminal device 3 have already been answered. It becomes impossible to correct after returning after leaving the target. In other words, among the questions that have not been answered yet, the questions that can be answered after returning after temporarily leaving the exam can be confirmed before leaving the exam, and the questions can be answered after returning. It becomes possible to prevent the above-mentioned fraudulent activity.

Further, when the control unit 28 of the answer terminal device 2 accepts the above-mentioned resume operation after receiving the above-mentioned pause operation, the answer before accepting the pause operation cannot be corrected, so that the pause operation cannot be performed. Information for inputting the answer to the next question of the question with the question number corresponding to the answer entered before accepting is displayed in the answer input field 61 of the answer input screen and also displayed in the answer input field 61. The question corresponding to the information provided (that is, the question to be displayed next to the question displayed when the pause operation is accepted) is configured to be displayed on the display 33 of the problem terminal device 3. May be good.

(About the pause part (4))
In addition, the process for preventing fraudulent activity described in the above-mentioned "(Pause portion (3))" may be realized by any other process. For example, a plurality of questions given in an examination are divided into a plurality of groups (for example, a group of four or the like, for example, "first group" to "fourth group"), and belong to each group. The following processing may be performed assuming an operation that allows temporary departure from the examination only when all the questions are answered.

Specifically, for example, the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 receives information indicating a group to which the question to be answered by the user belongs, and is based on the received information. Using a specifying method or a method of specifying groups in a predetermined order, etc.), the group of questions to be answered by the user at present is specified, and only the questions belonging to the specified group are the problem terminal device 3 When the user taps the "Pause" button to accept the pause operation, the process is the same as the process described in "(Pause section (Part 2))". To make the information entered by the user before tapping the "Pause" button uncorrectable after returning. After that, when the user taps the "Resume" button to accept the restart operation, the control unit 28 of the answer terminal device 2 is a group among the above-mentioned four groups in which the user has not yet answered. May be configured to specify and control so that only the questions belonging to the specified group can be displayed on the problem terminal device 3. The control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 is an operation for designating another group, which is performed when the user answers a question belonging to another group when the pause operation and the restart operation are not accepted. (For example, when an operation of tapping a group designation button for designating another group) is accepted, only the questions belonging to the designated group can be displayed on the problem terminal device 3. It may be configured to control.

(About the pause part (No. 5))
In addition, the user who is taking the test may be treated as disqualified from the test depending on the time when he / she temporarily leaves the test. Specifically, for example, when the control unit 28 of the answering terminal device 2 does not receive the restart operation within a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) after receiving the pause operation, the user is tested. As a disqualification, information indicating that the test is disqualified may be stored in the answer input information of FIG. 7, or the display 23 is disqualified because "the time away from the test is too long. The message information "was" may be displayed to notify the user that he / she has been disqualified.

(About others)
Further, the technique described in the above embodiment may be applied to any object other than the test, and may be applied to, for example, online medical treatment. Also, when applied to an English test or a question and answer test, the question may be voice rather than text.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the question and the answer are displayed on different terminals, the question sentence and the option are separated, and the question sentence is displayed on the problem terminal device 3, but the option is not in the question sentence and the answer is given. The options will be displayed on the terminal device 2 side. As a result, even if a replacement ball is prepared, there is no answer option only with the question sentence, and the answer cannot be advised unless the answer terminal device 2 is looked into. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent fraudulent activities.

Further, for example, four patterns may be prepared (or may be completely random) in the order of questions. In this case, even if you chat with someone who is not there, for example, the first question of pattern A and the second question of pattern B have different answers, so answer 1, 1, 1, 4 from the top. Even if 5 is transmitted, it does not match the correct answer, so that fraud can be prevented as much as possible.

(About application)
Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the test is taken at home using the test terminal device, the test system, and the test program has been described. For example, when the test is taken at a place other than home as described above. May be applied.
