The printing device 206 is a device that prints the subject lesson advice created by the traffic regulation test creation unit 204 described above. Specifically, a laser printer or the like is connected to the traffic regulation test creation unit 204 via a parallel interface or a LAN.
[0028]
Next, the process of subject learning using this system will be described using the flowchart of FIG. It is assumed that a program for realizing each functional block has already been read onto the memory of the computer system and is being executed by the CPU.
[0029]
First, an IC card is set in the driving simulator 201 by the instructor, and subject lesson is started (S401). When the IC card is set, the driving simulator 201 identifies the instructor's ID from the set IC card. Then, the learning progress information D / B 207 is accessed via the communication unit 205, and the learning progress information of the learner associated with the learner's ID is read (S402). Here, each database exists in a central school called a basic school (FIG. 3). In this embodiment, the basic school is the motor school Wako, and the learner's learning progress information is also stored in the learning progress information D / B 207 of the subject learning system in the motor school Wako. In addition, driving simulators in various locations are connected to each database of the basic school through a network. Therefore, the driving simulator in each place can read the learning progress information associated with the learner's ID from the learning progress information D / B 207 of the system in the motor school Wako via the network. And the teacher can be trained at any school.
[0030]
When the learning progress information is read, the driving simulator 201 extracts the unfinished learning items of the learner included in the learning progress information. Then, the extracted incomplete training items are displayed on the display device of the driving simulator. When an unfinished learning item is displayed, the learner uses a handle or a pedal as an input device, and the learning item to be taken this time is selected and input from the displayed learning items (S403). Here, description will be made assuming that the learning item 2 for which “following the signal” is learned is selected (FIG. 5).
[0031]
When the subject learning item is selected, the driving simulator 201 transmits the selected subject learning item to the subject text image control unit 202. When the subject learning item is transmitted, the subject textbook image control unit 202 searches the subject textbook image D / B 208 via the communication unit 205, and stores the file of the subject textbook image associated with the selected subject learning item. Read up. Then, the textbook image control unit 202 expands the read textbook image file and displays the expanded textbook image on the display device of the driving simulator 201 (S404). For example, if the lesson item “Follow the signal” is selected as the lesson item 2, and the lesson is to learn about the meaning of the signal display, the contents learned in the lesson item 2 such as “red signal” display and “stop at red signal” Read the textbook image file containing the text on the memory. Then, the read textbook image file is developed and sequentially displayed on the display device. Then, the content of the textbook displayed on the display device is read and understood by the teacher. Here, when reading the textbook image file, the textbook image control unit 202 reads not only the discipline image file but also the audio file related to the curriculum item, and reproduces the audio file to play the audio lesson. It is good also as composition which performs.
[0032]
When the display of the subject textbook image is completed, the process proceeds to the next simulation process triggered by the button operation of the learner or the passage of a predetermined time. When proceeding to the simulation process, the subject textbook image control unit 202 transmits the selected subject lesson item to the simulation video control unit 203. When the subject learning item is transmitted, the simulation video control unit 203 reads the simulation program associated with the subject learning item from the simulation program D / B 209 via the communication unit 205 onto the memory. Then, the simulation video control unit 203 executes the read simulation program and displays the simulation video on the display device of the driving simulator 201 (S405). For example, in the learning item “follow the signal” as described above, when the content of “stop with red signal” is learned, the simulation video control unit 203 generates a “red signal” from the simulation program D / B 209. Read the simulation program. Then, the simulation video control unit 203 executes this program and displays a simulation video in which a “red signal” appears on the display device. When a simulation image in which a red signal appears is displayed, a driving operation is performed by the teacher to stop before the stop line of the signal. In addition, in the lesson item 2 “Follow the signal”, you will learn how to deal with the arrow signal and the yellow signal, so you can let the learner experience the driving that makes the arrow signal and the yellow signal appear and observe the signal during the simulation. it can.
[0033]
When the driving operation process using the driving simulator 201 is completed, the traffic regulation test creation unit 204 creates a traffic regulation test problem based on the selected subject learning item (S407). Specifically, after the simulator training course described above, the traffic regulation test preparation unit 204 searches for the traffic regulation test question D / B 210 via the communication unit 205, and the test problem associated with the selected subject learning item. Is read into memory. Then, the traffic regulation test creation unit 204 expands this file and shapes the test questions for display on the display device. When the traffic regulation test problem file is formatted, the traffic regulation test creation unit 204 displays the developed traffic regulation test problem on the display device of the simulator. When the traffic regulation test question is displayed on the display device, an answer to the test question is input from the teacher through the answering means (not shown) of the driving simulator 201 (S408). Here, since the test problem of traffic regulations is a correct / incorrect problem, the accelerator of the driving simulator 201 can be used as a response means that “correct” and the brake is “error”. When the answer is input, the answer is transmitted to the traffic regulation test creation unit 204.
[0034]
When the answer is transmitted, the traffic regulation test creation unit 204 reads the correct answer of the test question associated with the test question from the traffic regulation test question D / B 210 via the communication unit 205 into the memory. Then, the traffic regulation test creation unit 204 compares the input answer and the read correct answer to identify the test question that is erroneously answered (S409). When the erroneous test question is specified, the traffic regulation test creation unit 204 reads out advice data associated with the test question identified as an incorrect answer from the traffic regulation test question D / B 210. Next, the traffic regulation test creation unit 204 shapes the read advice data for printing (S410) and transmits it to the printing device 206. When the advice data is transmitted, the printing apparatus 206 prints the advice shaped for printing (S411).
[0035]
When a series of subject learning processes is completed as described above, the driving simulator 201 corrects the learning progress information so as to delete the currently learned learning item from the uncompleted learning items as having completed this learning item. Then, the learning progress information D / B 207 is accessed again, and the stored learning progress information is updated to the corrected learning progress information.
[0036]
Immediately after the instructor understands the content of the textbook in the simulator, he / she can experience the content described in the textbook using the simulator device. Because advice can be obtained, the efficiency of learning traffic regulations can be improved.
[0037]
Although the present invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments.
[0038]
【The invention's effect】
According to this invention, since the learner can experience the content described in the textbook using the simulator device immediately after understanding the content of the textbook in the simulator, the learned content is easily stored in the memory. It is possible to improve learning efficiency in teaching.
