In FIG. 1, a correspondence education system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured by a server 110 and a plurality of operation terminals (learning support devices) 120 . The server 110 is managed by an operator (administrator) of the distance learning system 100 or the like. Server 110 can be realized by, for example, a general-purpose computer device such as a personal computer (see FIG. 2A). The server 110 stores a teaching material database and a subscriber database (both not shown).

The operation terminal 120 can be realized by, for example, a portable computer device (portable terminal device) called a tablet computer or a tablet terminal (see FIG. 2B). The operation terminal 120 is distributed in advance to users of the correspondence education system 100 when the correspondence education system 100 is operated.

The operation terminal 120 has a touch screen configured by a display and a touch panel (see FIG. 2B). The operating terminal 120 can be operated using a predetermined operating member 130 . Specifically, for example, when a capacitive or pressure-sensitive touch panel is used, the operation member 130 can be realized by a capacitive touch pen (stylus pen) or a user's finger.

Specifically, for example, when an electromagnetic induction touch panel is used, a dedicated electronic pen called a digitizer stylus (hereinafter referred to as “digitizer”) or the like is used instead of a stylus pen or the like to operate a predetermined operation member. 130 can be realized. The operation member 130 implemented by a digitizer includes a writing section that outputs a writing signal and an erasing section that outputs an erasing signal.

The operation terminal 120 determines the type of the operation member 130 and the specified object according to the switching operation, and performs an action according to the determined type. Specifically, operation terminal 120 determines, for example, whether operation member 130 is a stylus pen, a finger, or a digitizer as the type of operation member 130, and determines whether the object is a writing operation or a mouse (selection operation). It determines whether it is present, an eraser (erasing action), or unknown.

In FIG. 2A , the computer device that implements the server 110 includes a CPU 211 , a memory 212 and a network I/F (Interface) 213 . Each unit 211 to 213 provided in the computer device is connected by a bus 210 respectively. The CPU 211 controls the entire computer device that implements the server 110 .

The memory 212 stores programs such as a boot program, data constituting various databases, and the like. The memory 212 also stores various databases such as a teaching material database and a subscriber database, which will be described later. Various databases are stored in non-volatile storage media that do not erase stored content even when the power is off, among various storage media that implement the memory 212 .

Also, the memory 212 is used as a work area for the CPU 211 . The memory 212 can be realized by, for example, ROM (Read-Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), HDD (Hard Disc Drive) and HD (Hard Disc).

The network I/F 213 is connected to a network 140 such as the Internet, and is connected to external devices such as the operation terminal 120 via the network 140 . The network I/F 213 serves as an interface between the network 140 and the inside of the computer that implements the server 110, and controls input/output of data between the computer that implements the server 110 and external devices.

(Hardware configuration of operation terminal 120)
FIG. 2B is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of a computer device that implements the operation terminal 120. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 2B, the computer device realizing the operation terminal 120 includes a CPU 221, a memory 222, a network I/F 223, a timer 224, a touch screen 225, a microphone 226, a speaker 227, a camera 228, and a power switch. 229 and . Further, each unit 221 to 229 included in the computer device that realizes the operation terminal 120 in the correspondence education system 100 of the embodiment according to the present invention is connected by a bus 220 respectively.

The CPU 221 controls the entire operation terminal 120 . The memory 222 stores programs such as a boot program, and various data such as a password at startup. Also, the memory 222 is used as a work area for the CPU 221 . Memory 222 can be implemented by, for example, a flash memory or the like.

The network I/F 223 is connected to a network 140 such as the Internet via a radio wave relay device such as a Wi-Fi router (not shown). Network I/F 223 controls input/output of data with external devices such as server 110 via network 140 .

The timer 224 measures (counts up) the elapsed time from the start of measurement. Specifically, timer 224 counts, for example, the elapsed time from the start of display of characters (model) requesting handwritten input. Alternatively, the timer 224 may measure, for example, the elapsed time from the start of handwritten characters or strokes of the handwritten characters to the completion of the writing.

The touch screen 225 has a display 225a and a touch panel 225b. The display 225a displays, for example, a character (model) requesting input by handwriting, a frame line indicating an area for writing the handwritten character requesting input (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as an “answer input frame”), and the like. display.

The display 225a can be realized, for example, mainly by a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display. The display 225a may be a color display or a monochrome (black and white) display.

The touch panel 225b is stacked on the display surface side of the display 225a and outputs a signal to the CPU 221 according to the operation position. Touch panel 225b determines, for example, whether or not there is an input operation on touch panel 225b, the position at which input operation is received on touch panel 225b, the medium on which the input operation is performed, and the like, and outputs a signal corresponding to the received input operation to CPU 221.

The touch panel 225b outputs different types of signals according to, for example, the medium on which the input operation is performed. Based on the difference between the amount of static electricity generated when a human hand touches the touch panel 225b and the amount of static electricity generated when the operation member 130 touches the touch panel 225b, the CPU 221 determines whether the medium on which the input operation has been performed is the human hand. or the operation member 130 can be determined. The touch panel 225b is not limited to the electrostatic capacity type, but is of various known types such as an electromagnetic induction type, a resistive film type, an acoustic pulse recognition type, an ultrasonic surface acoustic wave type, an infrared shielding type, and an image recognition type. can be used.

The touch screen 225 may be implemented by a multi-touch screen capable of accepting a multi-touch operation in which multiple points on the touch panel 225b are touched simultaneously, among touch screens that accept operations by touching the touch panel 225b by the user.

In the multi-touch screen, for example, while two fingertips such as a thumb and index finger are in contact with the touch panel 225b, a pinch-out operation to widen the distance between the two fingertips, or a pinch-out operation to widen the distance between the two fingertips. A pinch-in operation by contracting can be accepted. By realizing the touch screen 225 with a multi-touch screen, complex input operations can be accepted without using a keyboard.

Further, when the touch screen 225 detects the touch of the operation member 130 on the touch panel 225b while the character (question) requesting handwritten input is displayed on the display 225a, the detected touch position becomes the answer input frame. Even if it is not inside, if it is included in a predetermined area on touch panel 225b, handwritten information such as handwritten characters that visualize the position touched by operation member 130 may be displayed on display 225a.

As a result, the touch screen 225 can accept input (writing) of arbitrary handwritten characters such as memos by the user on the touch panel 225b, and can display the accepted handwritten characters as handwritten information on the display 225a. . In addition, operation terminal 120 may store arbitrary handwritten characters such as notes written by the user in memory 222 .

Each time an input of information such as handwritten characters is received, operation terminal 120 generates image data of the input handwritten characters, and provides identification information of the learning content (characters) when the handwritten characters are input and the operation terminal 120 . The handwritten information for transmission associated with the identification information of 120 is generated, and transmitted to the server 110 each time the handwritten information for transmission is generated. When server 110 receives the handwritten information for transmission, server 110 associates the handwritten information included in the information with the identification information of the learning content and the identification information of operation terminal 120 included in the handwritten information for transmission, and stores them in memory 222 . do.

The handwritten information for transmission is stored in the memory 222 for a certain period of time, such as until the amount of data reaches a certain amount, or until learning of one learning content is completed, and the amount of data reaches a certain amount. It may be transmitted to the server 110 at the timing or at the timing when one character has been learned.

The microphone 226 analog/digital converts voice such as a speaker's voice input as analog data to generate digital voice data. Microphone 226 is used, for example, when learning pronunciation in an English course. The speaker 227 digital-to-analog converts digital audio data, and outputs audio by, for example, energizing a coil in a speaker cone based on the analog audio data. Speaker 227 outputs a message such as, for example, "Let's write a little more strongly." Moreover, specifically, the speaker 227 may output a sound such as a warning alarm.

The camera 228 captures an image of an imaging target by operating the touch panel 225b and generates image data. The generated image data can be stored in memory 222 . The network I/F 223 is connected to a network 140 such as the Internet and serves as an interface for communication with the server 110 via the network 140 .

The power switch 229 performs ON/OFF switching of power supply from a power supply (not shown) to each unit of the operation terminal 120 . The power switch 229 performs ON/OFF switching of power supply on the power supply side (most upstream side) in a power path from a power supply (not shown) to each part of the operation terminal 120 . The power switch 229 outputs an ON/OFF signal to the CPU 221 according to the received operation. The power switch 229 may perform ON/OFF switching of the power supply by stopping or canceling the power supply from the power supply on the most upstream side of the power supply path.

(Example of teaching material database)
The teaching material database stores learning contents related to learning handwritten characters. The learning content is composed of "problem" content and "answer" content. The "problem" content includes, for example, image data showing examples of characters to be learned (handwritten characters requiring input). The exemplars may be hiragana, katakana, kanji, numbers (eg, Arabic numerals), alphabets, or may include all. In addition, the model may include a plurality of styles (typefaces) for one character, such as regular script, line script, and cursive script.

Also, the "problem" content may include, for example, image data of the answer input frame. The answer input frame may include a solid line indicating the outer frame of the answer input frame, or a cross-shaped ruled line realized by a solid line or a dotted line that is thinner (or lighter in color) than the solid line (see FIG. 4A, etc.). ). For example, the solid line that indicates the outer frame of the answer input frame may form a square, and the ruled line may form a cross that divides the square into four equal parts.

Further, the "problem" content may include messages such as, for example, "Let's write this character.", "Let's trace the model." The message may be written, spoken, or both written and spoken.

The "problem" content is in a format reproducible using a problem reproduction application installed in the operation terminal 120, and is composed of various data such as characters (text), still images, and voices. "Problem" content may include video (animation and audio) data. The "problem" content may vary in difficulty depending on the user's proficiency level.

In the learning content, unique identification information is assigned to each character to be learned. The unique identification information is information for identifying characters to be learned, and as described later, the user's learning progress can be grasped using the unique identification information. Unique identifiers may be assigned to "question" content only, "answer" content only, or learning content that includes "question" and "answer" content. good too.

The "answer" content includes information about a predetermined writing pressure determination threshold. The writing pressure determination threshold is a value that serves as a reference for determining whether or not the writing pressure of characters handwritten by the user is appropriate. It can be any value set from the range from "0 (zero)" where there is no pressure applied to the . The threshold value for writing pressure determination is a relative numerical value with respect to the actual measurement value of the pressure applied from the predetermined operation member 130 to the touch panel 225b. Can be set arbitrarily.

Only one threshold value for writing pressure determination may be set, or a plurality of levels may be set. When setting the threshold value for writing pressure determination in multiple stages, for example, the lower limit of the threshold value for writing pressure determination is set to "50", the intermediate value of the threshold value for writing pressure determination is set to "75", and the threshold value for writing pressure determination is set to "75". can be set to "100".

The threshold for writing pressure determination may be set for each character, or may be set for each stroke of a character. Also, the threshold for writing pressure determination may be set for each writing position in the writing pressure in the character or in the stroke of the handwritten character, for example.

Brush strokes can be broadly categorized into Roku (horizontal), Do (vertical), Ryaku (left), Soku (point), and Taku (right). ), the bottom stroke of Sanzuiyanisui (a slanted upward-right wing), saku, a bend, and a teki, which is a wing. be done. When the threshold for writing pressure determination is set for each writing part in the stroke of a handwritten character, the threshold for writing pressure determination for each writing part can be set based on these eight types of classification.

Specifically, for example, the pen pressure at the starting point of each stroke such as horizontal stroke or vertical stroke, the pen pressure in the middle from the starting point to the left or right pay, and the left or right pay A writing pressure can be divided into a plurality of parts, and a threshold for writing pressure determination can be set for each part.

In addition, the "answer" content includes image data (typeface) of characters that serve as answers to be used for judging the pattern of handwritten characters input in response to a request by the "question" content. The answer characters correspond to the "problem" content and may be hiragana, katakana, kanji, numbers (e.g. Arabic numerals), alphabets, etc. may be In addition, the characters that serve as the answer can be any image data (typeface) such as regular script, line script, cursive script, etc., depending on the "problem" content. In the "answer" content, different thresholds for writing pressure determination may be set according to the style of writing, such as regular script, running script, and cursive script.

The "answer" content may include information regarding the stroke order of the characters used as the answer and determinations such as "stop", "splash", and "clear". Information on the judgment of "stop", "spring", "clear", etc. , and the writing pressure (pressure) at each position.

The "answer" content includes text data in place of or in addition to the image data (typeface) of the characters (hiragana, katakana, kanji, numbers, alphabet, etc.) that serve as the answer. good too.

Each "answer" content is stored in association with each "problem" content in the educational material database. In the teaching material database, each "answer" content is stored in association with one "problem" content. In the teaching material database, at least one "answer" content is associated with each "problem" content and stored.

(Example of subscriber database)
The subscriber database stores information relating to learning progress in association with each user's identification information. The learning progress information represents the progress of learning. Information about the progress of learning can be realized, for example, by information about the playback history of learning content. Also, the information about the learning progress may be realized by, for example, information about the "problem" content that has been displayed on the display 225a of the operation terminal 120 or the "problem" content that has accepted the input of the answer.

In addition, the information about the learning progress is the recognized handwritten characters or the handwritten characters of the "problem" content that has been displayed on the display 225a of the operation terminal 120 or the "problem" content that has accepted the input of the answer. It may be realized by information on "problematic" content in which it is determined that the ratio of the pen pressure in the stroke exceeding the threshold value for rewriting judgment set for the handwritten character or stroke exceeds a predetermined ratio.

The information about the progress of learning is, for example, learning content playback/display of learning content/acceptance of input of answers/rewriting determination threshold value is determined to have exceeded a predetermined percentage of learning content. It may include identification information, and information about the date and time when the learning content was reproduced/displayed/acceptance of input of answers/the judgment was performed (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as “learning date and time”).

In this way, by managing the progress of learning for each user, it is possible for each user to learn appropriate characters in accordance with the progress of learning of the user. The subscriber database may also store information about the users themselves, such as the names (member names), grades, and dates of birth of users who are subscribers to the correspondence education system 100 . The subscriber database may also contain information about the user's guardians, such as the user's parents.

(Functional Configuration of Operation Terminal 120)
Next, a functional configuration of the operation terminal 120 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the operation terminal 120. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 3 , the functions of the operation terminal 120 can be implemented by a processing section 301 . The processing unit 301 includes a storage unit 302 , a control unit (recognition unit, determination unit) 303 , an output unit 304 and an input unit 305 .

The storage unit 302 stores the teaching material database described above. Storage unit 302 may, for example, store only study content downloaded from server 110 by the user from the teaching material database stored by server 110 . Further, the storage unit 302 may store, for example, among the learning contents downloaded from the server 110 by the user, the learning contents downloaded during a period preceding the current time by a predetermined time.

The storage unit 302 also stores information about handwritten characters input by the user. The information about the handwritten characters input by the user includes image data of the handwritten input characters and information about the writing pressure of the characters. The information about the writing pressure of the handwritten-inputted characters is whether the ratio of the pen pressure of the characters whose handwriting input is lower than the lower limit of the threshold for writing pressure determination is equal to or less than a predetermined ratio. It can be realized by, for example, how much the numerical value of the ratio is below the lower limit of .

Further, the information about the handwritten character input by the user may include at least one of the date and time when the character was input by handwriting, the number of times the character was input by handwriting, and the like. The information about the handwritten characters input by the user may further store data about the stroke order of the characters input by handwriting by the user. The storage unit 302 stores, for example, information about handwritten characters in association with unique identification information of learning content for which the handwritten characters are input.

Further, the storage unit 302 stores, for example, identification information of the operation terminal 120, information about the user, passwords used for starting and operating the operation terminal 120, and the like. In this embodiment, the memory 222 can implement the function of the storage unit 302 .

The control unit 303 controls the output unit 304 to give questions to the user. Specifically, the output unit 304 can be realized by the display 225a. Specifically, for example, the control unit 303 presents a question by causing the display 225a to display characters (example) requesting handwritten input, an answer input frame, and the like.

More specifically, the control unit 303 asks a question by, for example, displaying characters (model) requesting handwritten input in an answer entry frame in a size suitable for the answer entry frame. (See Figure 4A). Thereby, the user can learn the characters by tracing the displayed characters (model).

Alternatively, the control unit 303 may pose a question by displaying, for example, characters (model) requesting handwritten input next to the answer input frame. As a result, the user can learn the characters by looking at the displayed characters (model) and writing the characters so as to imitate the characters (model).

Further, the control unit 303 displays on the display 225a, for example, "Let's trace the characters on the screen." Let's write letters.", or an illustration that shows children's interest in learning letters may be displayed.

Further, specifically, the output unit 304 may be realized by the speaker 227 in addition to the display 225a. In this case, the control unit 303 specifically displays, for example, a character requesting input by handwriting (example), an answer input frame, etc., on the display 225a, and also displays "Let's trace the characters on the screen." or "Let's write the characters displayed on the screen."

In addition, the control unit 303 controls the input unit 305 and receives the input of the user's handwritten characters regarding the answer to the question given via the output unit 304 . Specifically, the input unit 305 can be realized by the touch panel 225b. The control unit 303 controls the input unit 305 to receive an input operation on the touch panel 225b by a user such as a user, and acquires a signal according to the received input operation from the touch panel 225b. In this embodiment, the functions of the control unit 303 can be realized by the CPU 221 and the memory 222 .

For example, when handwritten characters are input using a dedicated electronic pen such as a digitizer as the operation member 130, the control unit 303 may recognize the input handwritten characters or strokes of the handwritten characters. As a result, even when the user touches the display 225a with his or her hand, only handwritten characters can be recognized.

The control unit 303 also recognizes input handwritten characters and determines the pen pressure of the recognized handwritten characters. Based on the writing pressure determination threshold, the control unit 303 determines whether the writing pressure of the recognized handwritten character is equal to or higher than the writing pressure determination threshold or is lower than the writing pressure determination threshold. When the threshold value for writing pressure determination is set in multiple stages, the control unit 303 determines whether the writing pressure of the recognized handwritten character is equal to or higher than the respective threshold value for writing pressure determination or is lower than the threshold value for writing pressure determination. determine whether

Specifically, for example, when the lower limit of the threshold value for writing pressure determination is set to “50” and the intermediate value of the threshold value for writing pressure determination is set to “75”, the control unit 303 determines whether the characters for which handwritten input is accepted is "0 to 49" below the lower limit of "50", which is the lower limit of the threshold for writing pressure determination, it is determined that "the writing pressure is too weak".

Further, in this case, the control unit 303 determines that the pen pressure of the character whose handwritten input is accepted is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the threshold value for pen pressure determination, which is 50, and is the intermediate value of the threshold value for pen pressure determination. When it is "50 to 74" which is lower than "75", it is determined that "it is not too weak, but it should be a little stronger". Further, in this case, the control unit 303 determines “good” when the writing pressure of the character whose handwritten input is accepted is “75 to 100” which is equal to or greater than “75” which is the intermediate value of the threshold value for writing pressure determination. I judge.

The control unit 303 controls the output unit 304 based on the determination result of the pen pressure in the recognized handwritten character, and outputs information about the determination result. The control unit 303 causes the display 225a to display, for example, the recognized handwritten character or a line of which the thickness is changed according to the pen pressure of the stroke of the handwritten character, along the trajectory of the movement of the tip of the digitizer. , to output information about the judgment result.

Specifically, the control unit 303 causes the display 225a to display the recognized handwritten character or the stroke of the handwritten character such that, for example, the higher the writing pressure, the thicker the line, and the lower the writing pressure, the thinner the line. As a result, the user can visually and easily recognize the handwritten characters and the writing pressure of the strokes written by the user (see FIG. 4B and the like).

Further, specifically, the control unit 303 causes the display 225a to display the recognized handwritten characters so that, for example, the higher the writing pressure, the darker the line color, and the lower the writing pressure, the lighter the line color. good too. Alternatively, specifically, for example, the control unit 303 sets the color of the line to black when the writing pressure of the handwritten character is equal to or higher than the intermediate value of the threshold for writing pressure determination, The recognized handwritten characters are displayed on the display 225a so that the color of the line is blue when the pen pressure is below the intermediate value of the threshold for judging the pen pressure, and the color of the line is red when the pen pressure is below the lower limit of the threshold for judging the pen pressure. may be displayed in

The control unit 303 displays the recognized handwritten characters so that jaggies do not occur in strokes forming the handwritten characters. The jaggies are handwritten characters and strokes of the handwritten characters that are not displayed as smooth lines but are displayed step by step (jagged) like stairs. The recognized handwritten characters or the shapes of the strokes of the handwritten characters are adjusted and displayed so that such jaggies do not occur on lines that are oblique to (the vertical direction or the horizontal direction).

As a result, the user can visually recognize the writing pressure of the handwritten characters and strokes written by the user in an easy-to-understand manner without making the user feel uncomfortable with the handwritten characters and strokes.

The control unit 303 may recognize each stroke of an input handwritten character, determine the pen pressure of the recognized stroke, and output information about the determination result. That is, each time input of one stroke is received before the input of one character is completed, the stroke is recognized, the pen pressure of the recognized stroke is determined, and the thickness of the stroke is determined according to the pen pressure. You may make it display.

When determining the writing pressure, the control unit 303 may determine the writing pressure for each part of the stroke. Specifically, for example, Roku is a horizontal stroke, Do is a vertical stroke, Ryaku is a left stroke, Soku is a point, and Taku is a right stroke. , Saku, which is the bottom stroke of Sanzuiyani sui (the slanted upward right), Tensetsu, which is a bend, and Teki, which is the splay. Based on this, the pen pressure at the portion (start point) where the digitizer starts to write when it touches the touch panel 225b, the pen pressure at the portion (end point) immediately before the digitizer leaves the touch panel 225b, and the pen pressure between the start point and the end point. may be determined respectively.

In addition, the control unit 303 determines whether the rate at which the pen pressure in the recognized handwritten character or the stroke of the handwritten character exceeds the threshold value for rewriting determination set for the handwritten character or the stroke is equal to or less than a predetermined rate. It may be determined whether The threshold for rewriting determination can be, for example, the lower limit of the threshold for pen pressure determination.

The ratio (that is, the predetermined ratio) of the recognized handwritten character or the stroke of the handwritten character preset for judging whether the writing pressure is appropriate or not exceeds the threshold value for rewriting judgment is, for example, "40%". can be set to any value, such as When this predetermined ratio is set for, for example, one handwritten character, the control unit 303 sets the writing pressure when writing the one character at the stage when the writing of the one character is completed to be used for rewriting determination. is greater than 40% or less than or equal to 40%.

Further, when the above-described predetermined ratio is set for the stroke, for example, when the writing of one stroke is completed, the control unit 303 determines whether the writing pressure when writing the one stroke is rewriting determination. It is determined whether the percentage exceeding the threshold for is greater than 40% or less than or equal to 40%.

Further, when the percentage of the pen pressure of the recognized handwritten character or the stroke of the handwritten character that exceeds the threshold value for rewriting determination is equal to or less than a predetermined percentage (for example, 40%), the control unit 303 The display of the handwritten character or stroke may be erased, and a rewrite of the previously entered handwritten character or stroke may be requested.

In this case, the control unit 303 may cause the display 225a to display a message prompting rewriting, such as "Let's write strongly" or "Let's write a little stronger." Alternatively, in this case, the control unit 303 may cause the speaker 227 to output a voice message prompting rewriting, such as “Let's write strongly” or “Let's write a little more strongly.” In particular, by prompting the user to rewrite by voice together with the display, it is possible to reliably inform the user that the writing pressure was insufficient.

The message prompting rewriting to be output via the display 225a or the speaker 227 may be, for example, "Write a little more forcefully", "Let's write again", or "Let's write the same character (line) again. Please write more strongly." or the like.

The message prompting rewriting to be output via the display 225a or the speaker 227 may be, for example, "Let's write with force", "Let's write boldly", or "Let's write with your hand on the tablet", depending on the age of the user. Let's write about it." On the other hand, if the user is a child such as a preschooler or a child in the lower grades of elementary school, the message "Let's try writing with more effort." For the message "Let's write thickly", there is concern that people don't know how to write thickly. Since there is concern that the pen pressure is low even if it is attached, the content may be changed according to the age of the user.

The messages output via the display 225a and the speaker 227 are, for example, ``The writing pressure on the vertical bars is weak'', ``A little stronger on the dots!'', ``The writing pressure on numbers (kanji) is low (high)'' For example, the contents may point out the strokes that the user seems to have difficulty with.

The message output via the display 225a or the speaker 227 may be content to notify that the writing pressure is appropriate, such as "Your writing pressure is just right" or "That tone." Furthermore, even if the message output via the display 225a or the speaker 227 is a content notifying a specific numerical value of the writing pressure, for example, "Your average writing pressure is XX%." good.

Also, the message output via the display 225a or the speaker 227 is to point out that the writing pressure is too high, such as "Please write with a little less force" or "Please write with a little more gentleness". may be content. Alternatively, if the specification accepts both input of handwritten characters with a finger and handwritten characters with a digitizer, "the writing pressure when using a finger is low", "the writing pressure when using a digitizer is is high."

The control unit 303 continues to display the handwritten character or stroke that was input immediately before while the voice message prompting rewriting is being output, and after the output of the voice message prompting rewriting is completed, the handwritten character or stroke is displayed. The display of the strokes may be erased and the handwritten characters or strokes may be rewritten. In this case, even after the output of the voice message prompting rewriting, the display of the text message prompting rewriting is continued, and after the output of the voice message prompting rewriting is completed, the display of the handwritten characters or strokes is erased and the handwritten text is displayed. Alternatively, rewriting of strokes may be accepted.

The control unit 303 may further determine whether the input handwritten characters are similar enough to be recognized as model characters. Specifically, the control unit 303 performs pattern recognition of the input handwritten characters, and based on the pattern-recognized solutions (characters) and pre-stored characters (models), It can be determined whether a character is recognizably similar to a model character.

Further, the control unit 303 extracts, for example, a determination target portion in the shape of a handwritten character, and determines the degree of deviation between the determination target portion and the determination target portion in the model shape, or determines that there is a deviation of a predetermined number or more. It is possible to determine whether or not the input handwritten character is similar enough to be recognized as a model character, based on the number of determination target locations.

In addition, the control unit 303 determines, for example, characters that are easy to read and well-balanced, characters that can be written correctly such as "stop", "spring", and "harai", and parts that should be straight. Based on whether the handwriting is straight or not, it is possible to determine whether the input handwritten character is similar enough to be recognized as a model character. In addition, the control unit 303, for example, determines whether the input handwritten characters are well-balanced with respect to the size of the answer input frame, and whether the radicals, fronts, and biases are well-balanced. It is possible to determine whether a handwritten character is similar enough to be recognized as a model character.

In addition to the shape of the input handwritten character, the control unit 303 also determines whether the input handwritten character is similar enough to be recognized as a model character based on the stroke order of the handwritten character. may be performed. In this case, the control unit 303 compares the model shape and stroke order of the character to be compared with the shape and stroke order of the input handwritten character. Then, based on the deviation between the shape of the handwritten character and the model shape, and the deviation between the stroke order of the handwritten character and the stroke order of the character to be compared, the input handwritten character becomes a model. It is determined whether or not the character is similar enough to be recognized.

By performing a determination taking into consideration the stroke order of handwritten characters, not only the shapes of handwritten characters but also the stroke order can be learned. By making a judgment taking into consideration the stroke order of the handwritten characters, even if the handwritten characters are broken from the block style due to some line writing, the input handwritten characters can be used as a model based on the movement of the operation member 130.例文帳に追加It can be determined whether or not the character is similar enough to be recognized. As a result, it is possible to make the user conscious of writing characters with an appropriate writing pressure without lowering the user's awareness of learning.

Furthermore, the control unit 303 may control the output unit 304 to output the handwritten character determination result. For example, if the input handwritten characters are not similar enough to be recognized as the model characters, or if the strokes are excessively meandering, the control unit 303 controls the output unit 304 to display "again. Let's write it.

In addition, when the input handwritten characters are not similar enough to be recognized as model characters, or the strokes are excessively meandering, the control unit 303 prompts the user to input the handwritten characters again. columns may be displayed. Specifically, for example, the control unit 303 can control the output unit 304 to display an input field for re-handwriting input next to or near the initially displayed answer input box.

The control unit 303 may display a model in the answer input frame for handwriting input again. That is, at first, a model is displayed next to the answer input frame when handwritten characters are input, and when a handwritten character or stroke is requested to be rewritten, the model is displayed in the answer input frame for re-inputting by handwriting. You may do so.

In this case, the control unit 303 may display the model character in a lighter color than the color of the handwritten input character in the answer input frame for re-inputting by handwriting. Alternatively, the control unit 303 controls the color of characters displayed when an answer is input (for example, "black") and the color of model characters (for example, "gray" or " blue, etc.) may be displayed differently.

(Example of display screen)
Next, an example of a display screen displayed on the display 225a by the operation terminal 120 will be described. 4A to 4C are explanatory diagrams showing examples of display screens displayed on the display 225a by the operation terminal 120. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the operation terminal 120 causes the display 225a to display a model 401 of characters to be learned (handwritten characters requiring input) and an answer input frame 402 based on the "problem" content. . FIG. 4A shows a state in which the hiragana letter "a" is displayed as a model 401 on the display 225a as the "problem" content.

The model 401 is displayed in a lighter color than the outer frame of the answer input frame 402 . As a result, the user can visually recognize the handwritten characters that the user writes without being disturbed by the model 401, and learn to write the characters.

Inside the answer input frame 402, a cross ruled line 402a realized by a dotted line whose color is lighter than the outer frame of the answer input frame 402 is displayed. This makes it easier to understand the positions of the strokes that make up the character, making it easier to write well-balanced handwritten characters. In the example shown in FIG. 4A, the user uses a dedicated electronic pen such as a digitizer as the operation member 130 to trace the model 401 and writes, thereby inputting (writing) handwritten characters.

FIG. 4B shows a state in which the writing of the hiragana character "a" given as the "problem" content has been completed. As shown in FIG. 4B, when receiving an input of handwritten characters, operation terminal 120 displays lines (strokes) 403 with different thicknesses depending on the pen pressure of the handwritten characters and strokes of the handwritten characters on display 225a. display.

Only when a specific operation member 130, such as a digitizer and an eraser, is used as the operation member 130, the operation terminal 120 can draw a line 403 with a different thickness according to the pen pressure of the handwritten character or the stroke of the handwritten character. may be displayed. As a result, when writing handwritten characters, it is possible for the user to learn the operation of adjusting the writing pressure by controlling the strength of the fingers.

FIG. 4B shows that the writing pressure near the end point of the first stroke 403a is higher than the writing pressure near the starting point of the first stroke 403a. FIG. 4B also shows that the writing pressure in the third stroke 403c is higher than the writing pressure in the first and second strokes 403a and 403b.

FIG. 4C shows a state in which the writing of the hiragana character "ho" set as the "problem" content has been completed. In the example shown in FIG. 4C, the pen pressure of the second stroke 403b is low, and the ratio of the pen pressure of the second stroke 403b exceeding the threshold value for rewriting determination in the entire second stroke 403b. is less than or equal to a predetermined percentage (such as 40%).

(Comparison example of display screen)
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a comparative example of the display screen. As shown in FIG. 5, according to the pen pressure of a handwritten character that has been input or a stroke 403 of the handwritten character, it is not a smooth line, but a line (rubber stroke) that gradually (jagged) 501a appears like a staircase. When 501 is displayed, it becomes a shape that is difficult to produce when actually writing with a pencil or pen, which makes the user feel uncomfortable.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, the handwritten characters are electronically (digitally) displayed (reproduced) using the terminal device 120 by displaying the strokes 403 forming the handwritten characters without jaggies. Even in this case, it is possible to allow the user to recognize natural handwritten characters without making the user feel uncomfortable.

When determining whether or not the percentage of the pen pressure in the recognized handwritten characters that exceeds the threshold for rewriting determination is equal to or less than a predetermined percentage (for example, 40%), for each stroke, the operating terminal 120 No particular message is output at the stage of writing down the strokes. In the example shown in FIG. 4B, the operation terminal 120 outputs a voice message prompting rewriting, such as "Let's write a little more strongly", when the second stroke 403b is written.

The operation terminal 120 may display the second stroke 403b while outputting a message voice prompting rewriting, and may not accept rewriting. Then, after completing the output of the message voice prompting the user to rewrite, the display of the second stroke 403b written immediately before may be erased, and rewriting of the second stroke 403b may be accepted.

When outputting a voice message prompting rewriting for each handwritten character, that is, when outputting a voice message prompting rewriting when handwriting input of one character is completed, the character after outputting the message prompting rewriting Rewriting may be optional. Further, when a message voice prompting rewriting is output for each handwritten character, the display color of the stroke prompting rewriting may be displayed in a different color from the display color of the stroke that does not require rewriting. As a result, it is possible to reliably notify of a stroke that prompts rewriting.

(An example of a child's writing tendency)
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a child's writing tendency. As shown in FIG. 6, children such as preschool children and children in the lower grades of elementary school can relatively stably write vertical strokes or strokes similar to vertical strokes among the parts that make up characters. Although it can be done, there is a tendency that it is difficult to write a horizontal stroke or a stroke similar to a horizontal stroke, such as the stroke surrounded by a dashed frame 601 in FIG. 6 .

(Example of processing procedure of operation terminal 120)
Next, an example of the processing procedure of the operation terminal 120 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing an example of the processing procedure of the operation terminal 120. As shown in FIG. In the flow chart of FIG. 7, first, based on the question content, the model 401 of handwritten characters (question) requiring writing and the answer input frame 402 are displayed on the display 225a (step S701), and the answer displayed in step S701 is displayed. The input frame 402 waits until an input of strokes (writing of strokes) by a predetermined operation member 130 such as a digitizer is received (step S702: No).

In step S702, if input of a stroke is received (step S702: Yes), the pen pressure of the received stroke is determined (step S703). In step S703, for example, the pen pressure of the received stroke is determined for each part of the stroke. The pen pressure of the stroke for which the input is accepted may be determined based on the entire stroke.

Next, based on the determination result in step S703, the shape of the stroke to be displayed on the display 225a is determined (step S704). In step S704, the line thickness for each part of the stroke to be displayed on the display 225a is determined based on, for example, the trajectory of the tip of the digitizer and the pressure applied to the touch panel 225b along the trajectory.

Further, in step S704, the thickness of lines in adjacent portions within a single stroke, which is determined based on the pen pressure of the received stroke, is adjusted so that visible jaggies (steps, jaggedness) do not occur. , determines the shape of the stroke to be displayed on the display 225a. In step S704, the shape of the stroke is determined so that the higher the pen pressure (pressure) applied to the touch panel 225b, the thicker the line, and the lower the pen pressure, the thinner the line. Then, the stroke of the shape determined in step S704 is displayed on the display 225a (step S705).

Next, it is determined whether or not the rate at which the pen pressure of the stroke for which the input was received in step S702: Yes exceeds the threshold value for rewriting determination is equal to or less than a predetermined rate (step S706). In step S706, if the ratio of the pen pressure of the received stroke exceeding the threshold value for rewriting determination is equal to or less than a predetermined ratio (step S706: Yes), the writing displayed on the display 225a is requested in step S701. It is determined whether or not input of all strokes (strokes for one character) in the handwritten character (question) has been received (step S707).

In step S707, when input of all strokes has been received (step S707: Yes), a series of processing ends. On the other hand, if input of all strokes has not been accepted in step S707, that is, if writing of one character has not been completed (step S707: No), the process proceeds to step S702 to accept input of the next stroke. wait for

On the other hand, in step S706, if the ratio of the pen pressure of the received stroke exceeding the threshold value for rewriting determination is not equal to or lower than the predetermined ratio (step S706: No), a message prompting rewriting is output (step S708). ). In step S708, a message prompting rewriting is output via display 225a or speaker 227, for example.

After outputting the message prompting rewriting, the stroke that was input immediately before is erased (step S709), and the process proceeds to step S702 to wait until the input of the corresponding stroke is received. The erasing of the stroke in step S709 is performed, for example, after outputting a message prompting rewriting by voice. In this case, the output of the message prompting the rewriting with text may be continued, or the output of the message prompting the rewriting with the text may be terminated after outputting the message prompting the rewriting with the voice.

In the processing example described above, in step S707: Yes, when the input of all strokes is received and the input of one character is completed, the series of processing is terminated, but the present invention is not limited to this. In step S707: Yes, for example, when the input of all strokes is accepted and the input of one character is completed, the next handwritten character (question) that requires writing is selected, and the handwritten character (question) is selected. The book 401 and the answer entry frame 402 may be displayed on the display 225a.

Alternatively, in step S707, when the input of one character is completed by accepting the input of all strokes, the next handwritten character (problem) requiring writing is selected in accordance with a predetermined operation performed by the user. Then, the model 401 of the handwritten character (question) and the answer input frame 402 may be displayed on the display 225a.
