Hereinafter, the processing executed by the inspection management terminal 100 and the inspection execution terminal 200 in the cognitive function inspection system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.

The examinee operates the examination execution terminal 200 to start the cognitive function examination. The method for starting the cognitive function test is not particularly limited, but in the present embodiment, for example, the control device 203 displays a screen displaying the “start test” button on the touch panel 201, and the examinee starts the “test”. When it detects that the button is touched, the cognitive function test is started. Before outputting the question for inspection, the control device 203 executes the process for preparing for inspection in the flow as shown below, for example.

In the process for preparing for inspection, the control device 203 displays a screen for adjusting the volume on the touch panel 201. The screen for adjusting the volume displays the "Volume up", "Volume down", and "Done" buttons, and the examinee touches the "Volume up" and "Volume down" buttons. Then, the volume of the sound output from the speaker 205 can be adjusted. The control device 203 performs a process for adjusting the output volume according to the operation of each of the "volume up" and "volume down" buttons by the examinee, and the examinee touches the "done" button. When it is detected, the volume at that time is confirmed.

Next, the control device 203 displays a screen for inputting the information of the examinee after transitioning between the screen on which the explanation of the inspection is displayed and the screen on which the precautions for the inspection are displayed. In the present embodiment, "Next" and "Back" buttons are displayed on each screen, and the examinee touches these buttons to advance to the next screen or return to the previous screen. be able to. Alternatively, it is possible to prompt the examinee to say "next" or "return", recognize the content of the examinee's utterance using a known voice recognition technology, and proceed to the next screen or return to the previous screen. You may do so.

The screen for inputting the examinee's information accepts the input of information such as the examinee's name, date of birth, gender, and information specific to the purpose of the examination. As information specific to the purpose of the inspection, for example, when performing a cognitive function test for renewal of a driver's license, it is sufficient to accept input of a license number and information on the driving situation of a normal car. As for the usual driving situation of a car, for example, "driving at least once a week", "driving about twice a month", "driving about once a month", "driving about once every few months", Options such as "almost never drive" may be displayed to accept the selection from the examinee. On the screen for inputting the information of the examinee, the examinee inputs each information by hand on the touch panel 201 using a touch pen or the like, and the control device 203 receives the input and inspects the input information. It is transmitted to the management terminal 100.

In the inspection management terminal 100, when the control device 103 receives the information about the examinee from the inspection execution terminal 200, the control device 103 converts the handwritten data by the examinee included in the received information into text data. At this time, the received handwritten data and the converted text data may be recorded and saved in the memory. As a result, the examinee information converted into text is recorded in the inspection management terminal 100. Since the process for converting handwritten data into text data is known, the description thereof will be omitted.

In the inspection execution terminal 200, when the transmission of information about the examinee is completed, the control device 203 starts outputting a question for the cognitive function test and accepting input of an answer from the examinee to the question. In the present embodiment, the question data output from the inspection management terminal 200 is recorded in advance in the inspection management terminal 100, and the control device 203 receives the question data from the inspection management terminal 100 and outputs the question.

As a result, the examinee whose cumulative score exceeds the passing score can finish the examination at that time, and the examination time of the examinee who has decided to pass can be shortened.

The cognitive function test according to the present embodiment is configured so that the determination of cognitive function can be determined by three classifications, that is, the first classification, the second classification, and the third classification according to the degree thereof. Here, in the first classification, those who have low memory and judgment are classified, and the examinees who score less than 49 points out of 100 points are applicable. The second category is for those who have slightly lower memory and judgment, and those who have a score of 49 points or more and less than 76 points for a maximum of 100 points are applicable. The third category is for those who are not worried about their memory and judgment, and those who have a score of 76 points or more for a maximum of 100 points are applicable. In the present embodiment, the above-mentioned pass reference point is set to 49 points so that the examinees of the first category fail and the examinees of the second category and the third category pass.
