(Programming support procedure)
As shown in FIG. 8, the learning support apparatus 100 first executes steps S01, S02, S03, and S04. In step S01, the main screen display unit 111 displays the learning support screen 300 on the display device 194. The list display unit 113 displays a plurality of program blocks including the map display block 321 and the object display blocks 322 and 323 on the list window 320. The icon display unit 121 displays a plurality of icons for setting at least one of the above parameters on the icon window 360. In step S02, the program display unit 114 waits for an operation input to select one of the plurality of program blocks in the list window 320 and to place the program block at an arbitrary position in the program window 340.

  In step S03, the program display unit 114 adds the program block selected by the operation input to the program window 340. If another program block (hereinafter referred to as “existing block”) exists in the program window 340 before the program block (hereinafter referred to as “new block”) is added, the program display unit 114 displays the existing block. Based on the relationship between the arrangement position and the position where the new block is arranged (dropped), the display order of the new block and the existing block in the program window 340 is set, and the new block and the existing block are displayed in the program window according to the display order. 340 is displayed. In step S04, the parameter setting unit 117 checks whether or not the new block is the object display blocks 322 and 323.

Thereafter, the updating of the computer window according to the user input is repeated.

(Program execution procedure)
As shown in FIG. 9, the learning support apparatus 100 first executes steps S11, S12, and S13. In step S11, the program execution unit 118 sets the program block displayed at the top of the program window 340 as an execution target. In step S12, the program execution unit 118 executes the program associated with the program block to be executed in the block storage unit 112 (the corresponding program) according to the parameters displayed in the program block. In step S <b> 13, the program execution unit 118 confirms whether or not execution of all program blocks displayed in the program window 340 has been completed.

  In step S13, when it is determined that an unexecuted program block remains, the learning support apparatus 100 executes step S14. In step S14, the program execution unit 118 sets the next program block displayed in the program window 340 as an execution target. Thereafter, the learning support apparatus 100 returns the process to step S12. Thereafter, the program corresponding to the program block is sequentially executed until the execution of all the program blocks in the program window is completed. If it is determined in step S13 that execution of all program blocks has been completed, the learning support apparatus 100 completes execution of the program.

  Hereinafter, a specific example of the execution of the corresponding program in step S12 will be shown. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating the execution procedure of the map display block. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the learning support apparatus 100 sequentially performs steps S21 and S22. In step S <b> 21, the program execution unit 118 acquires data for displaying a map from the map database of the map server 200 according to the map display program corresponding to the map display block. In step S22, the program execution unit 118 causes the display device 194 to display a map based on the data acquired in step S21. This completes the execution of the map display block.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating the execution procedure of the object display blocks 322 and 323. As illustrated in FIG. 11, the learning support apparatus 100 sequentially performs steps S31, S32, S33, and S34. In step S31, the program execution unit 118 updates the display area of the map based on the display position of the object so that the object can be displayed on the map. In step S <b> 32, the program execution unit 118 acquires data for displaying the updated display area map from the map database of the map server 200. In step S33, the program execution unit 118 displays a map of the updated display area based on the data acquired in step S32. In step S34, the program execution unit 118 displays the object on the map displayed in step S33 according to the object display program corresponding to the object display blocks 322 and 323. Thus, execution of the object display blocks 322 and 323 is completed.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating the execution procedure of the display integration block 425. As shown in FIG. 12, the learning support apparatus 100 first executes steps S41, S42, and S43. In step S41, the program execution unit 118 selects one of the objects displayed on the map according to the display integration program corresponding to the display integration block 425, and selects the selected object (hereinafter referred to as “reference object”) as a member. Generate a group. At the stage where a group having the reference object as a member is generated, only the reference object is included in the group. In step S42, the program execution unit 118 selects another object of the reference object (hereinafter referred to as “determination target object”) from the objects displayed on the map. In step S43, the program execution unit 118 checks whether or not the determination target object and the reference object overlap in the map.

  If it is determined in step S43 that the determination target object and the reference object overlap, the learning support apparatus 100 executes step S44. In step S44, the program execution unit 118 adds the determination target object to the same group as the reference object.

  Next, the learning support apparatus 100 executes Step S45. If it is determined in step S43 that the determination target object and the reference object do not overlap, the learning support device 100 executes step S45 without executing step S44. In step S <b> 45, the program execution unit 118 confirms whether an object that has not been confirmed whether or not it overlaps with the reference object (hereinafter referred to as “unconfirmed object”) remains on the map.

  In step S45, when it is determined that an unconfirmed object remains on the map, the learning support device 100 executes step S46. In step S46, the program execution unit 118 selects the next determination target object from the unconfirmed objects. Thereafter, the learning support apparatus 100 returns the process to step S43. Thereafter, until it is determined that no unconfirmed object remains on the map, when the reference object overlaps with the determination target object, the determination target object is repeatedly added to the same group as the reference object.

  If it is determined in step S45 that no unconfirmed object remains on the map, the learning support apparatus 100 executes step S47. In step S47, the program execution unit 118 checks whether any objects that do not belong to any group (hereinafter referred to as “unaffiliated objects”) remain on the map.

  If it is determined in step S47 that an unaffiliated object remains on the map, the learning support apparatus 100 executes step S48. In step S48, the program execution unit 118 selects the next reference object from the unaffiliated objects, and generates a group as the reference object. Thereafter, the learning support apparatus 100 returns the process to step S42. Thereafter, the object grouping is continued until it is determined that no unaffiliated object remains on the map.

  If it is determined in step S47 that no unaffiliated object remains on the map, the learning support apparatus 100 executes steps S49 and S51. In step S49, the program execution unit 118 sets an enlargement ratio for each group according to the number of belonging objects. For example, when the number of belonging objects is one, the program execution unit 118 sets the enlargement ratio to 1, and increases the enlargement ratio as the number of objects increases. In step S51, the program execution unit 118 integrates the objects of each group into one, and displays the integrated objects at the enlargement ratio set in step S49. The display integrated block execution procedure is thus completed.
