(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of an information processing system in the present embodiment. The information processing system includes a medium 11, an electronic pen 12, and an information processing device 13. The medium 11 is a medium on which a special dot pattern is printed, and is made of paper, for example. Here, the electronic pen is used by, for example, a grader (or corrector) such as a test or correction. In addition, the medium 11 usually contains answers of students. The electronic pen may be used by students who have written answers to tests and corrections.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the information processing system in the present embodiment. The electronic pen 12 includes a grader identifier storage unit 1201, a written information acquisition unit 1202, a scoring information configuration unit 1203, and a scoring information transmission unit 1204.

The scoring result output unit 1306 includes a calculation unit 13061 and an output unit 13062.

  The grader identifier storage unit 1201 stores a grader identifier that is information for identifying a grader. The data structure and content of the grader identifier are not specified. The grader identifier may be information for identifying the electronic pen. This is because, if the electronic pen can be identified, the scorer who is the user of the electronic pen can also be identified. That is, the grader identifier may be anything as long as it is information that can identify the grader. The grader identifier storage unit 1201 is preferably a nonvolatile recording medium, but can also be realized by a volatile recording medium.

  The description information acquisition unit 1202 acquires description information that is information related to information described with the electronic pen 12. The description information is, for example, coordinate information (hereinafter referred to as “position information” as appropriate) that is information for specifying a relative position in the medium 11. The description information may be a string of character codes that is a result of character recognition from a set of coordinate information that is information for specifying a relative position in the medium 11 and the character recognition. In the coordinate information, (0, 0) need not be the starting point.

  A method in which the description information acquisition unit 1202 acquires description information that is coordinate information will be described. As a method for acquiring coordinate information, for example, there are the following methods. A special dot pattern shown in FIG. 3 is printed on the medium 11. In such a case, the description information acquisition unit 1202 can be realized by a coordinate detection technique using a special dot pattern. Specifically, for example, the configuration is as shown in FIG. 3 includes a CCD camera 301 and a processor 302 that performs pattern recognition and analysis. The special dot pattern is composed of dots along a grid with a pitch of 0.3 mm. Then, the description information acquisition unit 1202 codes the special dot pattern by distributing the arrangement of the dots with the four patterns of Right / Left / Up / Down. Then, the CCD camera constituting the description information acquisition unit 1202 captures the special dot pattern at 60 frames / second. Then, the written information acquisition unit 1202 detects the movement of the CCD camera (that is, the change in the captured dot pattern) by analyzing the captured image information. The description information acquisition unit 1202 can acquire relative coordinate information in the static object by detecting the movement of the CCD camera. As another means of the description information acquisition unit 1202, the following can be considered. A barcode indicating coordinate information is printed on the surface of the medium 11, and the written information acquisition unit 1202 is realized by a barcode reader that reads the barcode and obtains the coordinate information.

  The scoring information configuration unit 1203 configures scoring information based on the description information acquired by the description information acquisition unit 1202 and the scorer identifier of the scorer identifier storage unit 1201. The scoring information is information related to information described by the scorer using the electronic pen on the paper, and is information having at least one position information indicating the position on the paper. In addition, the scoring information here includes a grader identifier and written information.

The processing procedure of the scoring information configuration unit 1203 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The scoring information transmission unit 1204 transmits the scoring information configured by the scoring information configuration unit 1203 directly or indirectly to the information processing apparatus 13. “Indirectly transmitting scoring information” means transmitting scoring information to the information processing device 13 via another device (not shown). The scoring information transmission unit 1204 can be realized by a wireless or wired communication means. In particular, it is preferably realized by a wireless communication means such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). However, it may be realized by broadcasting means.

  The scoring information receiving unit 1301 receives scoring information from the electronic pen 12. The scoring information receiving unit 1301 can be realized by a wireless or wired communication means. In particular, it is preferably realized by a wireless communication means such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). However, the scoring information receiving unit 1301 may be realized by means for receiving a broadcast.

  The result information configuration unit 1302 is based on the scoring information received by the scoring information reception unit 1301, scoring type information that is information indicating the type of scoring result or / and score information that is information indicating the score given to the answer Configure. That is, the result information configuration unit 1302 may configure only scoring type information. In addition, the result information configuration unit 1302 may configure only score information. Furthermore, the result information configuration unit 1302 may configure scoring type information and score information. The scoring type information is, for example, information indicating a correct answer “◯”, a semi-correct answer “Δ”, and an incorrect answer “×”. The semi-correct answer is information meaning that a partial point can be given. The score information is mainly a score in the case of a semi-correct answer. For example, the result information configuration unit 1302 determines whether the shape indicated by one or more pieces of position information included in the scoring information received by the scoring information receiving unit 1301 is close to “◯”, “Δ”, or “X”. Recognize Since the technique for recognizing characters (including numbers) and figures from one or more pieces of position information is a known technique (so-called character recognition technique), detailed description thereof is omitted. The result information configuration unit 1302 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the result information configuration unit 1302 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The problem identifier determination unit 1303 determines a problem identifier that is information for identifying a problem corresponding to the scoring information, based on one or more pieces of position information included in the scoring information received by the scoring information reception unit 1301. The problem identifier determination unit 1303 will be described below. The problem identifier is determined by the problem information storage unit 13031, the determination unit 13032, and the problem identifier acquisition unit 13033.

  The problem information storage unit 13031 holds one or more problem information having a problem identifier that is information for identifying a problem and one or more pieces of position information. The problem identifier is, for example, a problem number. The one or more pieces of position information include, for example, position information (x1, y1) indicating the upper left coordinates of the rectangular area where the answer to the question is written, and position information (x2, y2) indicating the lower right coordinates. The question information storage unit 13031 may have barycentric position information of a rectangular area in which an answer is written. The problem information storage unit 13031 only needs to have position information corresponding to the problem identifier. The problem information storage unit 13031 is preferably a nonvolatile recording medium, but can also be realized by a volatile recording medium.

  The determination unit 13032 determines whether one specific position information included in the scoring information received by the scoring information reception unit 1301 is in a predetermined relationship with one or more position information included in the specific problem information. “Having a predetermined relationship” indicates that one specific position information included in the scoring information is included in an area describing the problem indicated by the problem information. Judgment means 13032 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the determination unit 13032 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The problem identifier acquisition unit 13033 acquires a problem identifier for identifying the problem indicated by the specific problem information when the determination unit 13032 determines that there is a predetermined relationship. Such a problem identifier is a problem identifier of a problem corresponding to the scoring indicated by the scoring information received by the scoring information receiving unit 1301. The problem identifier acquisition unit 13033 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the problem identifier acquisition unit 13033 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The result information storage unit 1304 stores the scoring type information and / or score information configured by the result information configuration unit 1302 in association with the problem identifier determined by the problem identifier determination unit 1303. The recording medium for storing the scoring type information or / and the score information may be a recording medium built in the information processing apparatus 13 or an external recording medium. The recording medium is preferably a non-volatile recording medium, but can also be realized as a volatile recording medium. The result information storage unit 1304 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the result information storage unit 1304 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit). Note that the result information storage unit 1304 may store scoring type information and / or score information on a recording medium of an external device. In such a case, the result information storage unit 1304 can be configured by means for transmitting information.

  The accepting unit 1305 accepts an output instruction that is an instruction to output a scoring result. The input means that is a means for inputting an output instruction may be anything such as a numeric keypad, a keyboard, a mouse, or a menu screen. The accepting unit 1305 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a numeric keypad and a keyboard, control software for a menu screen, and the like.

  When the accepting unit 1305 accepts an output instruction, the scoring result output unit 1306 outputs a scoring result based on the scoring type information or / and score information accumulated by the result information accumulating unit 1304. The scoring result output unit 1306 is realized by a calculation unit 13061 and an output unit 13062.

  The calculation means 13061 calculates a total score that is the result of the answer corresponding to the question identified by one or more question identifiers based on the scoring type information or / and the score information. There are various methods for calculating the total score of the calculation means 13061. For example, when the scoring type information is information indicating a correct answer, the calculating unit 13061 adds a score corresponding to the correct answer, and when the scoring type information is information indicating a semi-correct answer, the calculating unit 13061 uses the score indicated by the score information. If the scoring type information is information indicating an incorrect answer, a total score that is the result of the answer corresponding to the problem identified by one or more problem identifiers is calculated without adding the score. Further, for example, when the scoring type information is information indicating the correct answer, the calculating unit 13061 adds a score corresponding to the correct answer, the scoring type information is information indicating the semi-correct answer, and the scoring type information is Only when one or more pieces of position information have one or more pieces of position information that the point information has, for example, when the point information is described in a graphic “Δ” indicating a semi-correct answer, When the score indicated by the score information is added and the scoring type information is information indicating an incorrect answer, the total score that is the result of the answer corresponding to the problem identified by one or more question identifiers without adding the score Is calculated. In addition, various algorithms for the calculation means 13061 to calculate the total score are conceivable. The calculation unit 13061 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the calculating means 13061 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

The output unit 13062 outputs the total score calculated by the calculation unit 13061. Output is a concept that includes display on a display, printing on a printer, sound output, transmission to an external device, and the like. The output unit 13062 may or may not include an output device such as a display or a speaker. The output unit 13062 can be realized by output device driver software, or output device driver software and an output device.
Hereinafter, the operation of the information processing system will be described. First, the operation of the electronic pen 12 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

(Step S401) The description information acquisition unit 1202 determines whether a video has been acquired. The video is, for example, video acquired by the camera of the electronic pen 12 in FIG. If the video is acquired, the process goes to step S402, and if the video is not acquired, the process returns to step S401.
(Step S402) The description information acquisition unit 1202 forms description information (here, the description information is coordinate information on the paper 11) from the image acquired in step S401 and / or the image acquired earlier.
(Step S <b> 403) The scoring information configuration unit 1203 acquires the scorer identifier stored in the scorer identifier storage unit 1201.
(Step S404) The scoring information configuration unit 1203 configures scoring information from the description information configured in Step S402 and the scorer identifier acquired in Step S403.

(Step S405) The scoring information transmission unit 1204 transmits the scoring information configured in step S404 to the information processing device 13. Note that the scoring information transmission unit 1204 holds, for example, the IP address of the information processing apparatus 13. Moreover, the scoring information transmission unit 1204 may transmit scoring information without specifying a partner. The process returns to step S401.
In the flowchart of FIG. 4, the process is terminated by an interruption such as power off or process termination.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 4, the information described with the electronic pen 12 may be a character or a graphic. Further, the process of constructing the description information from the video acquired by the camera is possible using, for example, the above-mentioned special paper (dedicated paper) manufactured by Anoto Co., Ltd. and is a known technique, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Moreover, in the flowchart of FIG. 4, although scoring information is comprised from the comprised description information and a grader identifier, the data amount of the description information which this scoring information has is not ask | required. The data amount of the description information is, for example, one stroke written using the electronic pen 12.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 4, for example, after a large amount of description information is stored, scoring information may be transmitted according to a user instruction. In addition, for example, description information may be stored for each stroke of the electronic pen 12, the scoring information may be configured, and the scoring information may be transmitted. That is, the transmission timing of the scoring information and the transmission trigger are not questioned.

Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the electronic pen 12 transmits the scoring information having the description information to the information processing device 13. In such a case, the information processing apparatus 13 recognizes characters and figures from the description information (coordinate information). However, the electronic pen 12 may recognize characters and figures from the coordinate information and transmit the recognized character data and the like to the information processing device 13. In such a case, the written information is character data after recognition. In addition, since the process which determines a character code from several coordinate information is the existing technique of character recognition, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.
Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 13 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, the operation in which the information processing apparatus 13 accumulates received scoring information will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
(Step S501) The scoring information receiving unit 1301 determines whether scoring information has been received. If scoring information is received, the process goes to step S502, and if scoring information is not received, the process returns to step S501.
(Step S502) The result information configuration unit 1302 acquires a grader identifier from the scoring information received in Step S501.
(Step S503) The result information configuration unit 1302 stores the grader identifier acquired in Step S502. The scorer can be identified by the processing in steps S502 and S503.

  (Step S504) The result information configuration unit 1302 acquires description information from the scoring information received in Step S501. It is assumed that the description information acquired here is, for example, a set of one or more pieces of position information constituting a figure (◯, Δ, ×) having a predetermined meaning and a numeric string. A figure having a predetermined meaning is written information described in one stroke using the electronic pen 12.

  (Step S505) The problem identifier determination unit 1303 determines a problem identifier from one or more pieces of position information included in the description information acquired in step S504. Details of the method for determining the problem identifier will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S506) The result information configuration unit 1302 acquires scoring type information (◯, Δ, ×) or score information from the description information acquired in Step S504. Since this process is a character or figure recognition process and is a known technique, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the result information configuration unit 1302 may not be able to acquire meaningful scoring type information (◯, Δ, ×) or score information from the single description information acquired in step S504. In such a case, the result information configuration unit 1302 stores a plurality of pieces of description information in a buffer, and acquires meaningful scoring type information (◯, Δ, ×) or score information from the plurality of pieces of description information.

  (Step S507) The result information configuration unit 1302 determines whether or not the information acquired in Step S506 is information indicating the correct answer “O” in the scoring type information. If it is the information indicating the correct answer “◯”, the process goes to Step S508, and if it is not the information indicating the correct answer “O”, the process jumps to Step S510.

(Step S508) The result information configuration unit 1302 substitutes a predetermined correct score for the variable “score”. The number of predetermined correct answers may be the same for all questions or may be different for each question. If the predetermined correct score is the same for all questions, the information processing apparatus 13 holds the score in advance. If the predetermined correct score differs depending on the problem, the information processing apparatus 13 holds the correct score (scoring) corresponding to each question identifier. Since the problem identifier has been acquired in step S505, the result information configuration unit 1302 can acquire the score from the problem identifier.
(Step S509) The result information accumulating unit 1304 accumulates the variable “score” in a manner corresponding to the problem identifier acquired in step S505. The process returns to step S501.

  (Step S510) The result information configuration unit 1302 determines whether or not the information acquired in Step S506 is information indicating a semi-correct answer “Δ” in the scoring type information. If it is the information indicating the half correct answer “Δ”, the process goes to step S511, and if it is not the information indicating the half correct answer “Δ”, the process jumps to step S512.

  (Step S511) The result information configuration unit 1302 sets the half correct answer flag to ON (ON is, for example, “1”). In the initial stage, the half correct answer flag is OFF (OFF is, for example, “0”). The process returns to step S501.

(Step S512) The result information configuration unit 1302 determines whether the information acquired in Step S506 is information indicating an incorrect answer “x” in the scoring type information. If it is information indicating an incorrect answer “x”, the process goes to step S513, and if it is not information indicating an incorrect answer “x”, the process jumps to step S514.
(Step S513) The result information configuration unit 1302 substitutes “0” for the variable “score”. Go to step S509.
(Step S514) The result information configuration unit 1302 determines whether the information acquired in Step S506 is a numeric string. If it is a numeric string, the process goes to step S515, and if it is not a numeric string, the process returns to step S501.
(Step S515) The result information configuration unit 1302 determines whether or not the half-correct answer flag is ON. If the half correct answer flag is ON, the process goes to step S516. If the half correct answer flag is not ON, the process returns to step S501.
(Step S516) The result information configuration unit 1302 substitutes the score (score information) indicated by the numeric string for the variable “score”. Turn off the semi-correct answer flag. Go to step S509.
Next, the problem identifier determination operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
(Step S601) The determination unit 13032 acquires one piece of position information (x, y) in the description information. The one piece of position information (x, y) may be the first position information in the description information or arbitrary position information.
(Step S602) The judgment means 13032 substitutes 1 to the counter i.

  (Step S603) The determination unit 13032 determines whether or not the i-th record (problem information) exists in the problem information storage unit 13031. If the i-th record exists, the process proceeds to step S604, and if the i-th record does not exist, an error code is returned. If the i-th record does not exist, there is no corresponding problem identifier and an error occurs. The process returns to the upper function (processing in FIG. 5). An error code (for example, “−1”) is returned.

(Step S604) The judgment means 13032 acquires the i-th upper left coordinate (x1, y1) from the problem information storage means 13031. Here, the one or more pieces of position information included in the question information include, for example, position information (x1, y1) indicating the upper left coordinates of the rectangular area in which the answer to the question is written, and position information (x2) indicating the lower right coordinates. , Y2).
(Step S605) The determination means 13032 acquires the i-th lower right coordinate (x2, y2) from the problem information storage means 13031.

(Step S606) The determination unit 13032 determines whether “x1 <= x <= x2 and y1 <= y <= y2”. That is, the determination unit 13032 determines whether or not the point indicated by the position information in the description information is included in the i-th problem rectangular area. If the above condition is satisfied, the process goes to step S607, and if the above condition is not satisfied, the process jumps to step S608.
(Step S607) The problem identifier acquisition unit 13033 acquires a problem identifier included in the i-th problem information. The process returns to the upper function (processing in FIG. 5). In such a case, a problem identifier is returned.
(Step S608) The judgment means 13032 increments the counter i by 1. The process returns to step S603.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 6, for example, it is preferable to perform the above-described problem identifier determination process for all position information in the description information, and determine the problem identifiers that occupy the majority as correct problem identifiers. By performing such processing, a correct problem identifier can be obtained even if the scoring stroke slightly protrudes to other answer locations. In the above processing, it is not necessary to check all the position information. Of all the position information, a plurality of position information or a predetermined ratio of position information may be used.

Next, an operation in which the scoring result output unit 1306 of the information processing device 13 outputs the scoring result will be described. When the reception unit 1305 receives an output instruction that is an instruction to output a scoring result, the calculation unit 13061 corresponds to a problem identified by one or more problem identifiers based on the scoring type information or / and the score information. The total score that is the result of the answer is calculated. Here, the calculation means 13061 sums up the points corresponding to each problem described by the processing of the flowcharts of FIGS. Then, the output unit 13062 outputs the total score calculated by the calculation unit 13061.
Hereinafter, a specific operation of the information processing system in the present embodiment will be described. A conceptual diagram of the information processing system is shown in FIG.

  Further, the problem information storage means 13031 of the information processing apparatus 13 holds the problem information management table of FIG. The problem information management table holds one or more records having “ID”, “problem identifier”, “position information 1”, and “position information 2”. “ID” is information for identifying a record and exists for a request in table management. “Position information 1” is position information indicating the upper left coordinates of a rectangular area in which an answer to a question is written. “Position information 2” is position information indicating the lower right coordinates of a rectangular area in which an answer to a question is written. Here, the area where the answer to the question is written is a rectangular area, but may be an area of another shape. Furthermore, in order to specify the rectangular area, it is specified by the position information of the upper left coordinate and the lower right coordinate of the rectangular area, but may be specified by the center point, the width, and the height.

  Now, from the electronic pen 12, one or more pieces of position information indicating scoring type information (“◯”, “Δ”, “×”) or a numeric string (partial points) and scoring information having a scorer identifier are sent to the information processing apparatus 13. Suppose that it is sent. That is, here, it is assumed that meaningful information (scoring type information or partial point information) is transmitted from the electronic pen 12 to the information processing device 13. Such transmission is performed, for example, when the user gives a transmission instruction (for example, by pressing a predetermined button of the electronic pen 12) every time “O”, “Δ”, “X” or a numeric string is entered. An example of scoring information transmitted from the electronic pen 12 to the information processing device 13 is shown in FIG. The grader identifier “123987” in FIG. 8 is stored in the electronic pen 12 in advance.

  Then, as shown in the medium 11 of FIG. 1 (here, “paper”), the scorer identified by the scorer identifier “123987” uses the electronic pen 12 to answer the historical question consisting of three questions. Assume that you score. Here, in the case of the correct answer “◯”, it is assumed that the number of points given is predetermined as 10 points.

  Now, it is assumed that the grader identified by the grader identifier “123987” scores “○” for the answer to the first question as shown in FIG. An example of such scoring information is shown in FIG. Next, the scoring information receiving unit 1301 of the information processing device 13 receives the scoring information of FIG. Then, the problem identifier determination unit 1303 determines that the position information “(50, 58)” satisfies the predetermined relationship with the position information 1 and the position information 2 of the record of “ID = 1” in FIG. The identifier “1” is acquired. Satisfying the predetermined relationship means satisfying “0 <= 50 <= 70” and “<30 <= 58 <= 60”, and the position information “(50, 58)” in the area where the question 1 is answered. Is included. Next, the result information configuration unit 1302 authenticates one or more pieces of position information “(50, 58)”, “(49, 57)”... Judged to be “O”. The result information configuration unit 1302 substitutes “10” for the variable “score”. And the result information structure part 1302 comprises the record which has problem identifier "1" and a score "10", and records it like the results management table | surface shown in FIG. In the results management table shown in FIG. 9, an incremented ID is added each time a record is added.

  Next, it is assumed that the grader identified by the grader identifier “123987” scores “Δ” for the answer to the second question and transmits the grade information. The structure of the scoring information is the same as that shown in FIG. Next, the scoring information receiving unit 1301 of the information processing device 13 receives scoring information. Then, the problem identifier determination unit 1303 acquires the problem identifier “2” using the same algorithm as described above. In addition, the result information configuration unit 1302 recognizes that the figure is a substantially triangular figure from the scoring information, and determines that the answer is “Δ”. Then, the result information configuration unit 1302 sets the semi-correct answer flag to “ON”.

  Next, it is assumed that the grader identified by the grader identifier “123987” wrote “5” with the electronic pen 12 and transmitted the grade information. Then, the problem identifier determination unit 1303 acquires the problem identifier “2” using the same algorithm as described above. And the result information structure part 1302 authenticates "5" from one or more position information which scoring information has. Then, the result information configuration unit 1302 substitutes “5” for the variable “score” because the semi-correct answer flag is “ON”. Then, the result information storage unit 1304 forms a record having the problem identifier “2” and the score “5”, and records it as in the results management table shown in FIG.

Next, it is assumed that the scorer identified by the scorer identifier “123987” scores “x” for the answer to the third question and transmits the scoring information. The structure of the scoring information is the same as that shown in FIG. Next, the scoring information receiving unit 1301 of the information processing device 13 receives scoring information. Then, with the same algorithm as described above, the problem identifier determination unit 1303 acquires the problem identifier “3”. In addition, the result information configuration unit 1302 recognizes that the figure is an almost cross-shaped figure from the scoring information, and determines that the answer is “x”. Then, the result information configuration unit 1302 substitutes “0” for the variable “score”. Then, the result information storage unit 1304 forms a record having the problem identifier “3” and the score “0”, and records it as in the results management table shown in FIG.
Thus, the information storage operation of the information processing apparatus 13 corresponding to the grader's score is completed.

  Next, the user inputs an output instruction, which is an instruction to output the scoring result, to the information processing apparatus 13. Next, the reception unit 1305 receives an output instruction. Then, the scoring result output unit 1306 calculates the score “15” by summing up the scores in the score management table of FIG. 9. For example, the scoring result output unit 1306 displays the score “15” on the display.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus in the present embodiment, the scoring information (◯, Δ, ×, score, etc.) in the scoring frame is associated with the problem identifier as the scoring information of the corresponding test. Can accumulate. Therefore, highly accurate automatic scoring using the electronic pen technology is possible, and it is extremely effective for processing such as testing and correction. In particular, it is effective for a public test in which a large number of students take a test or a test for taking an exam.
In addition, according to the information processing apparatus of the present embodiment, since numbers can be stored as partial points, flexible and highly accurate tests that cannot be performed with only the correct and incorrect mark sheet test are efficiently performed. it can.
In addition, according to this Embodiment, although the electronic pen 12 transmitted the grader identifier also to the information processing apparatus 13, it is not necessary to necessarily transmit a grader identifier. The same applies to other embodiments.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the test student is not specified, but the test student may be automatically specified by various methods. With various methods, for example, the information for identifying the student may be the above grader identifier. In such a case, when scoring, a different electronic pen is used for each answer sheet. Further, the various methods may be identified by, for example, position information acquired from the answer sheet. In such a case, the dots plotted on the answer sheet differ depending on the answer sheet. Furthermore, students may be identified by the process described in the second embodiment.

  In the above specific example, when the scoring type information is information indicating a correct answer, the calculating means adds information corresponding to the correct answer, and the scoring type information included in the scoring information is information indicating a semi-correct answer. And only when the score information exists next to the information indicating the semi-correct answer, the score indicated by the score information is added, and when the scoring type information is information indicating an incorrect answer, without adding the score, A total score that is the result of the answer corresponding to the problem identified by one or more problem identifiers was calculated.

  According to the present embodiment, the partial point is acquired by recognizing the number described after “Δ”, but the partial point may be recognized by other methods. That is, for example, the last number described for one problem identifier may be recognized as a partial point. In such a case, the description information is transmitted from the electronic pen 12 in the order of the described times. In this case, the result information storage unit outputs the accumulated final scoring type information or / and score information as valid scoring type information or / and score information. In such a case, the result information storage unit may overwrite the scoring result, and the scoring result output unit may select the final data at the time of output. This also applies to other embodiments.

  In addition, when the scoring type information is information indicating the correct answer, the calculating means in the present embodiment adds the score corresponding to the correct answer, and the scoring type information is information indicating the semi-correct answer “Δ”, and Only when one or more pieces of position information included in the scoring type information are in a predetermined relationship with one or more pieces of position information included in the point information, the points indicated by the point information are added, and the point type information is information indicating an incorrect answer. In some cases, the total score that is the result of the answer corresponding to the problem identified by one or more question identifiers may be calculated without adding the score. The above “predetermined relationship” means that, for example, the score information exists in the semi-correct figure “Δ”. It goes without saying that the position relationship with 2 can be determined because both the semi-correct figure “Δ” and the score information are a collection of position information. This also applies to other embodiments.

In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 13 recognizes the figure (“◯”, “Δ”, “×”), and immediately converts it into a score and accumulates the score. However, the recognized figure (“◯”, “Δ”, “×”) may be converted into a code as it is and the code may be accumulated.
In the present embodiment, the grader may be the same as the answerer.

  In the present embodiment, the electronic pen does not necessarily have the grader identifier storage unit 1201. The electronic pen may acquire and transmit the grader identifier from another device or may not transmit it. The same applies to other embodiments.

  Furthermore, the processing in the present embodiment may be realized by software. Then, this software may be distributed by software download or the like. Further, this software may be recorded and distributed on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM. This also applies to other embodiments in this specification. Note that the software that implements the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment is the following program. In other words, this program is information related to information written by a scorer using an electronic pen on a sheet of paper on a computer, and the scoring information is received from the electronic pen having at least one position information indicating the position on the sheet. Based on the information receiving step and the scoring information received in the scoring information receiving step, scoring type information which is information indicating the type of scoring result or / and score information which is information indicating the score given to the answer And a problem identifier determining step for determining a problem identifier that is information for identifying a problem corresponding to the scoring information based on one or more pieces of position information included in the scoring information received in the scoring information receiving step. The scoring type configured in the result information configuration step in association with the problem identifier determined in the problem identifier determination step Program for executing the result information storage step of storing the information and / or number information is.

  The program includes an accepting step that accepts an output instruction that is an instruction to output a scoring result, and the scoring type information and / or score information accumulated in the result information accumulating step when the output instruction is accepted in the accepting step. A scoring result output step for outputting the scoring result based on the above may be further included.

The problem identifier determination unit 10303 includes a problem information storage unit 13031, a determination unit 13032, and a problem identifier acquisition unit 13033. Here, the problem information storage means 13031 has one or more pieces of position information for identifying that it is a column for describing student identifiers. That is, the problem information also includes one or more pieces of position information for identifying a column in which the student identifier is described. The problem identifier acquisition unit 13033 acquires a problem identifier for identifying the problem indicated by the specific problem information when the determination unit 13032 determines that there is a predetermined relationship. The problem identifier in such a case includes information (for example, “0”) for identifying that it is a column for describing a student identifier. The problem identifier determination unit 10303 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the problem identifier determination unit 10303 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

The processing procedure of the result information storage unit 10304 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 103 will be described using the flowcharts of FIGS. 11 to 12. First, an operation in which the information processing apparatus 13 accumulates received scoring information and the like will be described using the flowchart of FIG. In the flowchart of FIG. 11, the description of the same steps as those in the flowchart of FIG. 5 is omitted.

  (Step S1101) The question identifier determining unit 10303 is a question identifier or information described in the student identifier description column from one or more pieces of position information included in the description information acquired in Step S504. To decide. Details of the method for determining such a problem identifier will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(Step S1102) Based on one or more pieces of position information included in the scoring information received by the scoring information receiving unit 1301, the question identifier determining unit 10303 is information described in the student identifier column. Judge whether it has been decided. If such a determination is made, the process goes to step S1103. If such a determination is not made, the process jumps to step S506.
(Step S1103) Based on the scoring information received by the scoring information receiving unit 1301, the result information composing unit 10302 configures a student identifier (for example, a number string) whose scoring information is information for identifying the student of the test. .

  (Step S1104) The result information storage unit 10304 stores the student identifier configured in step S1103. Such student identifiers are normally stored in a form associated with the information stored in step S509. This is because the score of a certain student's test can be understood by such correspondence.

  (Step S1105) The result information configuration unit 1302 determines whether or not the information acquired in step S506 is predetermined information in the scoring type information (information for canceling scoring). If it is predetermined information, the process proceeds to step S1106. If it is not predetermined information, the process returns to step S501. The predetermined information may be one or more than one.

  (Step S1106) The result information configuration unit 1302 configures scoring cancellation information. The configuration of the scoring cancellation information is, for example, turning on a flag. In addition, the configuration of scoring cancellation information may be an intangible process (NOP). That is, when the information acquired in step S506 is predetermined information of the scoring type information, processing for canceling the scoring type information and / or score information stored in association with the problem identifier may be performed.

(Step S1107) The result information storage unit 10304 performs a process of canceling the scoring type information and / or score information stored in association with the problem identifier determined by the problem identifier determination unit 1303. The process returns to step S501. Note that the canceling process may substantially delete the scoring type information or / and the score information, or information (for example, a flag) to be processed assuming that there is no scoring type information or / and score information. It may be recorded.
Next, the operation for determining the problem identifier and the like will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

(Step S1201) The question identifier acquisition unit 13033 has a question identifier included in the i-th question information, or information indicating that the described information is described in the description column of the student identifier (hereinafter referred to as “student identifier field” as appropriate). Information)). The process returns to the upper function (processing in FIG. 11). In such a case, the problem identifier or student identifier column information is returned.
Hereinafter, a specific operation of the information processing system in the present embodiment will be described. A conceptual diagram of the information processing system is shown in FIG.
First, it is assumed that the scorer receives the historical test answer sheet 11 shown in FIG. 13 and scores using the electronic pen 12.

  The problem information storage unit 13031 of the information processing apparatus 13 holds the problem information management table of FIG. The problem information management table in FIG. 14 has a structure substantially similar to that of the problem information management table in FIG. 7, but “problem identifier” is changed to “problem identifier”. A question identifier and student identifier column information can be entered in the “question identifier” field. The student identifier column information is information in which “Problem identifier” is “0”.

  Now, it is assumed that the grader enters with the electronic pen 12 a number string similar to the number string written by the student in the field immediately below the “test number” field (see FIG. 15). Then, the electronic pen 12 accumulates one or more pieces of position information constituting the scoring information of the structure in the electronic pen 12. The one or more pieces of position information are information constituting an examination number (student identifier) “123456789”. In FIG. 15, a medium 11 is a medium on which a special dot pattern including a column in which a student describes a student identifier and a column in which a grader describes a student identifier with an electronic pen is printed. In FIG. 15, the column in which the student describes the student identifier and the column in which the grader describes the student identifier with the electronic pen are arranged at the upper and lower positions, and the planned information is written between them. There is no area to do. Scheduled information is information such as answers and questions. In FIG. 15, the column in which the student describes the student identifier and the column in which the grader writes the student identifier with the electronic pen may be reversed. In addition, it is preferable that the column in which the student describes the student identifier and the column in which the grader writes the student identifier with the electronic pen are adjacent to each other.

  Next, it is assumed that the grader presses a transmission button (not shown) of the electronic pen 12. Next, the electronic pen 12 configures scoring information from one or more pieces of position information and a scorer identifier, and transmits the scoring information. An example of scoring information is shown in FIG.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 103 receives scoring information having position information indicating an examination number “123456789” (which is a student identifier here). Next, the problem identifier determination unit 10303 of the information processing apparatus 103 uses the position information (for example, (40) from the one or more position information (for example, (40, 12)) included in the scoring information and the problem information management table in FIG. , 12)) matches the record of “ID = 1”, and the problem etc. identifier “0” is acquired. Such “0” is student identifier column information.

  Next, the result information configuration unit 10302 of the information processing apparatus 103 performs character authentication processing on one or more pieces of position information included in the scoring information received by the scoring information reception unit 1301 to obtain a numeric string “12345678”. Then, the result information accumulation unit 10304 accumulates the student identifier “12345678”. FIG. 17 is a scoring result management table showing final scoring result information. The record of (1) in FIG. 17 is accumulated by the accumulation process of the student identifier “12345678”.

  Next, the grader uses the electronic pen 12 to write “O” in the “Question 1” scoring. Then, the grader presses a button for transmitting the grade information. Then, the electronic pen 12 transmits scoring information. Such scoring information is, for example, scoring information in FIG.

  Next, the scoring information receiving unit 1301 of the information processing apparatus 103 receives the scoring information, and the question identifier determining unit 10303 acquires the question identifier “1” from the position information included in the scoring information. And the result information structure part 10302 carries out the character authentication of the description information which scoring information has, and obtains code | symbol "(circle)". Then, the result information accumulation unit 10304 accumulates the code “◯” in association with the problem identifier “1”.

  Next, the grader uses the electronic pen 12 to write “O” first in the “Question 2” scoring. Then, the grader presses a button for transmitting the grade information. Then, as described above, the information processing apparatus 103 accumulates the code “◯” in association with the problem identifier “2” (see (2) in FIG. 17). Next, the scorer notices that he / she has made a mistake in scoring and writes “//” to cancel the scoring of “◯” with the electronic pen 12 over the handwritten figure “◯” (see FIG. 18). Then, the grader presses a button for transmitting the grade information.

Next, the information processing apparatus 103 acquires the problem identifier “2” by the same processing as described above. Next, the result information configuration unit 10302 determines from the position information included in the received scoring information that the received scoring information is information indicating that the scoring is cancelled. Then, scoring cancellation information “//” is configured. Next, the result information storage unit 10304 stores the scoring cancellation information “//” in association with the problem identifier “2” (see (3) in FIG. 17).
Next, the scorer uses the electronic pen 12 to write “Δ” as a new score for “Question 2” (see FIG. 19). Then, the grader presses a button for transmitting the grade information.

Next, the information processing apparatus 103 acquires the problem identifier “2” by the same processing as described above. Next, the result information configuration unit 10302 configures scoring type information “Δ” from the position information included in the received scoring information. Then, the result information storage unit 10304 stores the scoring type information “Δ” in association with the problem identifier “2” (see (3) in FIG. 17).
Next, the grader uses the electronic pen 12 to write “5” as the partial point of “Question 2” (see FIG. 19). Then, the grader presses a button for transmitting the grade information.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 103 acquires the problem identifier “2” by the same processing as described above. Next, the result information configuration unit 10302 configures score information “5” from the position information included in the received scoring information. Then, the result information storage unit 10304 stores the score information “5” in association with the problem identifier “2” (see (3) in FIG. 17).

Next, it is assumed that the scorer uses the electronic pen 12 to write “x” as the score of “Question 3”. Then, the result information storage unit 10304 finally stores the scoring type information “x” in association with the problem identifier “3” by the same operation as described above (see (4) in FIG. 17).
As a result of the above processing, the scoring information of students taking a certain test was accumulated.

  Next, it is assumed that the user inputs an output instruction, which is an instruction to output a scoring result including the examination number “12345678”, to the information processing apparatus 103. Next, the accepting unit 1305 accepts an output instruction including the examination number “12345678”.

Next, the scoring result output unit 1306 acquires the examination number “12345678”, and searches the scoring type information and / or the score information using the examination number “12345678” as a key. Then, scoring type information and score information of records (2) to (4) in FIG. 17 are obtained. Next, the calculation unit 13061 acquires “◯” of the record (2) in FIG. 17 and changes the score from “0” to “10”. In the case of the correct answer, 10 points are given as in the first embodiment. Next, the calculation unit 13061 acquires “◯”, “//”, “Δ”, and “5” of the record (3) in FIG. 17 and recognizes that “「 ”is canceled by“ // ”. Then, the calculation unit 13061 adds the score “5” from “Δ” “5”. Then, the calculation means 13061 obtains a score “15”. Next, the calculation unit 13061 acquires “x” of the record (4) in FIG. 17 and adds nothing to the score “15”.
Then, the output unit 13062 outputs the score calculated by the calculation unit 13061, for example, as shown in FIG.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to recognize that the predetermined operation performed by the scorer is a cancel operation and invalidate the previous scoring information. Therefore, the scorer using the electronic pen can easily correct even if there are some description errors, and as a result, correct automatic scoring is possible.

According to the present embodiment, the scoring cancellation information is “//”, but other scoring cancellation information (for example, “/”) may be used. The scoring cancellation information that can be handled by the information processing apparatus may be two or more. In such a case, the scoring cancellation information is, for example, “//” “!”.
Needless to say, according to the present embodiment, the scores of a plurality of students can be processed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the examination number and the answer written by the student (taken student) in the answer sheet of FIG. 18 and the like may be written with the electronic pen of the student and transmitted to the information processing apparatus 13. In such a case, the student's electronic pen is usually different from the grader's electronic pen. Then, the information described with different electronic pens (the user identifiers (which have the same meaning as the electronic pen identifiers)) are combined, and the final answer sheet (the answer and scoring information as shown in FIG. 19 is described). Answer sheet) can be output. The key for composition is the examination number written by the student and the examination number written by the grader (the examination number written under the examination number written by the student). In other words, the information processing device 13 combines the answer information in which the examination number written by the student and the examination number written by the grader coincide with the scoring information, and outputs a final answer sheet. That is, the information processing apparatus 13 receives and stores a pair of the student identifier, the examination number written by the student, and the answer information of the student. Further, the information processing device 13 receives and stores a pair of a grader identifier, an examination number written by the grader, and grader information (eg, grade type information and score information). Then, by outputting answer information and scoring information that match both examination numbers on one sheet, a synthesized answer sheet is output. The same applies to other embodiments.

  Further, the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment receives scoring information having description information related to the student identifier described in the medium from the electronic pen, configures the student identifier based on the scoring information, and the scoring information The information processing device may be configured to configure scoring type information or / and score information and store the student identifier in pairs with the scoring type information or / and score information.
