When the slide of the next page is displayed, the slide page of the display tool display unit D8 corresponding to the page of the slide display unit D2 is highlighted. By doing so, the creator of the teaching material can easily grasp the number of pages of the slide during authoring. It does not have to be a highlight display, and the slide page of the display tool display unit D8 may be displayed in a special display mode. Further, when the slide of the next page (the previous page is also possible) is displayed in the state where authoring is not being executed (non-authoring state or authoring confirmation state), the slide of the display tool display unit D8 corresponding to the page of the slide display unit D2. Page is highlighted.

Next, the CPU of the teaching material creation side terminal device 110 stores in the RAM the time when the next page of the slide is displayed on the slide display unit D2 in step S525. This time is a time indicating the playback time and recording time of the media at the timing when the next page of the slide is displayed on the slide display unit D2, and is the time displayed on the time display unit D7. For example, when two pages are displayed on the slide display unit D2 at a timing of 15 seconds after the start of reproduction or recording of the media, the time information of 15 seconds is stored in the RAM as the slide time of the two pages.

Next, the CPU of the teaching material creation side terminal device 110 determines in step S527 whether or not the authoring is completed. The authoring ends when the playback of the media ends or when the creator of the teaching material presses the button of the stop tool T2. When playing the media, the authoring ends when the playing time of the media has elapsed or when the creator of the teaching material presses the button of the stop tool T2. When recording in the recording mode, authoring ends when the creator of the teaching material presses the button of the stop tool T2. If it is determined in step S527 that the authoring has not been completed (NO), the process proceeds to step S519, and the process is executed from step S519. If it is determined in step S527 that the authoring has been completed (YES), this process ends.

In the process from step S511 to step S525, the slide (one scene) of one page is associated with the media. Specifically, the slide of one page is associated with the time information of 0 to 15 seconds of the media. After that, in the process from step S519 to step S525 via step S527, the slides (each scene) on pages 2 to 4 are associated with the media. Associate the two-page slide with the media time information of 15 to 22 seconds. Associate the slide on page 3 with the time information of the media for 22 to 45 seconds. Associate the slide on page 4 with the time information of the media for 45-60 seconds.

Next, an action confirmation process for confirming the action set on the slide will be described with reference to FIGS. 8, 9, and 10.

<< Action confirmation process >>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an action confirmation process for confirming the action set on the slide. The action confirmation process is a process of displaying an image of the action set on the slide on the slide display unit D2 by moving the mouse cursor to the action display area of the display unit D8-1. The action confirmation process is a process executed by the teaching material creation side terminal device 110 in the authoring confirmation state.

First, the CPU of the teaching material creation side terminal device 110 determines in step S813 whether or not authoring is in progress. If it is determined in step S813 that the authoring is not in progress (NO), the process proceeds to step S815. If it is determined in step S813 that authoring is in progress (YES), this process ends.

Next, the CPU of the teaching material creation side terminal device 110 determines whether or not the slide displayed on the slide display unit D2 has an action (including animation) (step S815). If it is determined in step S815 that the displayed slide has an action (YES), the process proceeds to step S817. If it is determined in step S815 that there is no action on the displayed slide (NO), this process ends.

Next, the CPU of the teaching material creation side terminal device 110 determines in step S817 whether or not the action display tool T13 is on. When the display unit of the action display tool T13 is clicked with the mouse, the CPU of the teaching material creation side terminal device 110 turns on the action display tool T13. Further, the CPU of the teaching material creation side terminal device 110 displays the action display set on the slide on the display tool display unit D8.

For example, when the mouse cursor (see the arrow on the left) is placed on the display unit D8-1 of the first action display as shown in FIG. 10A, the CPU of the teaching material creation side terminal device 110 is the media display unit D1. Displays a still image of the media for 5 seconds.

Next, the CPU of the teaching material creation side terminal device 110 determines in step S827 whether or not the action display tool T13 is off. If it is determined in step S827 that the action display tool T13 is not off (NO), the process is returned to step S819, and the process is executed again from step S819. If it is determined in step S827 that the action display tool T13 is off (YES), this process ends.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an outline of an action display displayed by using the action display tool T13. This figure displays one page of slide and 5 seconds of media. It should be noted that the authoring is in the authoring confirmation state in which the authoring has not been executed. First, the display unit of the action display tool T13 is clicked, and the action display set on the slide is displayed on the display tool display unit D8. A straight line action, a stamp action, and a circular action are set on the slide on one page. The linear action is the first action set in the authoring process of the first page, and is set at the timing of 5 seconds of the media (specifically, the timing of the start time of the action). The stamp (triangular stamp) action is the second action set in the authoring process of the first page, and is set at the timing of 7 seconds of the media. The circle action is the third action set in the authoring process of the first page, and is set at the timing of 2 seconds of the media. In the action display, the actions in the order set in the authoring process are displayed on the display tool display unit D8.

Next, the transition of the action display when confirming the action set on the slide will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a transition diagram of the action display in the authoring confirmation state. When the mouse cursor (see the arrow on the left) is placed on the display unit D8-1 of the first action display as shown in FIG. 10A, a straight line appears on the slide of one page at the timing of 5 seconds of the media. Is displayed. At this time, the seek bar display unit D6 becomes an image showing 5 seconds, and the time display unit D7 displays 5 seconds. Further, a still image of the media for 5 seconds is displayed on the media display unit D1.

Next, when the mouse cursor is placed on the display unit D8-2 of the second action display as shown in FIG. 10 (b), a triangular stamp is displayed on the slide of one page at the timing of 7 seconds of the media. Will be done. At this time, the seek bar display unit D6 becomes an image showing 7 seconds, and the time display unit D7 displays 7 seconds. Further, a still image of the media for 7 seconds is displayed on the media display unit D1.

Next, when the mouse cursor is placed on the display unit D8-3 of the action display No. 3 as shown in FIG. 10 (c), a circle is displayed on the slide of one page at the timing of 2 seconds of the media. .. At this time, the seek bar display unit D6 becomes an image showing 2 seconds, and the time display unit D7 displays 2 seconds. Further, a still image of the media for 2 seconds is displayed on the media display unit D1.

If the mouse cursor is removed from the display area of the action display display units D8-1, D8-2, and D8-3, the straight line, triangular stamps, and circles displayed on the slide may be hidden. ..

The time information such as 5 seconds, 7 seconds, and 2 seconds is the time information at the timing when the action image is set in the authoring process. Information such as straight lines, triangular stamps, and circles is attribute information of the action image.

In this way, the creator of the teaching material can preview the set action simply by moving the mouse cursor to the display part (D8-1 to D8-3) of each action display of the action display tool T13 (without clicking). You can check. In this way, when multiple actions are set, it is easy for the teaching material creator to follow the changes in the actions in the page. Further, according to the movement of moving the mouse cursor, the seek bar display unit D6 executes the seek bar display of the timing of the start time of each action, the time display unit D7 displays the detailed time, and the media display unit D1 displays the detailed time. Since the media (still image of the media) is displayed at the timing of the start time of each action, it is easy for the creator of the teaching material to grasp the authoring situation.
