(Operation of Example 1)
In the learning support apparatus PC according to the first embodiment having the above-described configuration, when a digital textbook is selected by a user input, the text of the digital textbook is displayed on the teaching material display unit 101a of the learning support image 101 (FIG. 3). (See ST1 and ST2 in FIGS. 5 and 8). When a word in the sentence is selected by dragging the mouse H4 or the like, the word is highlighted in black on a white background, and when an input for selecting the registration button 102 is input, the word is stored as selection information. (See ST3 to ST6 in FIG. 4A and FIG. 8).
In addition, when the marker button 101b is selected in a state where the selection information is stored, the display position of the selection information is displayed in yellow highlighter pen (marker display). When the shielding button 101c is selected, the selection information is displayed. The display position is set to black display (shielded display) (see ST7 to ST10 in FIGS. 4B, 4D and 8 and ST101 in FIG. 9). When one of the selection information is selected in a state where the selection information is displayed as a marker, annotation information corresponding to the selected selection information is displayed (see ST102 and 103 in FIGS. 4C and 9).

  In the learning support apparatus PC according to the first embodiment, when the test button 101d is selected in a state where the selection information is stored, a problem is created in which the display position of the selection information is replaced with the answer image 201. Is displayed (see ST11 to ST13 of FIGS. 5 and 8). For example, when a sorting problem is created with six selection information, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 6, selection group information 202 (six selection items) of the answer image 201 (pull-down menu) for question 1 One of them is the correct answer option (“4. △△△△”), and the remaining five are incorrect answer options (“1. ☆☆☆☆”, “2. ○○○○”). ○○ ”,“ 3. △△△△△△ ”,“ 5. ◇◇◇ ”,“ 6. ▽▽▽▽▽▽▽ ”), but for another question, for example, One of the incorrect answer choices in question 1 becomes the correct answer choice (“1. ☆☆☆☆”), and the remaining five including the correct answer choice in question 1 are incorrect answer choices (“2. ○○○○”). ○○ ”to“ 6. ▽▽▽▽▽▽▽ ”).

Therefore, the learning support apparatus PC according to the first embodiment can automatically create a problem that changes according to the word selected by the user.
Here, when a location that is difficult for the student to memorize or a location that the student determines to be important is selected in the textbook of the digital textbook for each student, for example, the portion that the student wants to remember is targeted. Problem to be created. That is, individual differences such as the proficiency level of each student are easily reflected in the contents of selection information, the number of selections, and the like.
Therefore, the learning support apparatus PC according to the first embodiment can present a problem according to the individual difference of the user, compared to the conventional configuration in which the problem that the digital textbook provider created in advance is unilaterally presented, It can actively and actively support user learning.

That is, in the learning support apparatus PC according to the first embodiment, compared to the conventional configuration in which a problem is presented unilaterally, a student selects a word that the student wants to learn and creates and displays a problem related to the selected word. Since interactive and interactive learning, so-called interactive learning is possible, learning according to individual differences among students becomes possible.
As a result, the learning support apparatus PC according to the first embodiment can change the digital textbook to be easily learned by the user by changing the problem according to the individual difference of the user. That is, individual differences of users can be reflected in the digital textbook, and learning can be supported by adapting the digital textbook to the user.

  In the learning support apparatus PC according to the first embodiment having the above-described configuration, in the problem creation process, four types of problems corresponding to the problem types of the setting information, that is, an alternative problem, a rearrangement problem, and a filling-in selection problem Then, a hole filling problem can be created (see ST201 to ST211 in FIG. 10). Further, when creating an alternative question or a filling-in-place selection question, (nm−0 ≧ 0, n ≧ m ≧ 2) according to the incorrect answer type of the setting information and the maximum number of incorrect answer options (nm). ), By extracting three types of incorrect answer options associated with the selected information, that is, partial match information, synonymous information, and erroneous information from the dictionary information, the incorrect answer is selected according to the selected information that is the correct answer option. A problem including options can be created (see ST202 and ST209 in FIG. 10).

In the learning support apparatus PC according to the first embodiment, when the test setting button 101e is selected, the setting information stored in the setting information input unit 301a of the question setting image 301 is displayed and displayed by the user's input. The setting information can be updated (see ST14 and ST15 in FIGS. 7 and 8 and ST401 to ST405 in FIG. 12).
Therefore, the learning support apparatus PC according to the first embodiment can automatically create a problem that changes according to the setting information set by the user.
Here, even if the correct answer is the same problem, there is a high possibility that the difficulty level is different between the alternative problem, the rearrangement problem, the filling-in-place selection problem, and the filling-in-place problem. More specifically, since the correct answer option is not displayed for the hole filling problem, the difficulty level is higher than other problems (choice problem, rearrangement problem, hole filling selection problem). Further, the filling-in-place selection problem has m number of answer images 201 as compared with the rearrangement problem, and n> m satisfies n> m for the number n of options for the filling problem and the number m of options for the rearrangement problem. If established, the difficulty level becomes high.
Therefore, the difficulty level of a problem can be adjusted by setting the problem type of setting information by a user's input.

In addition, since the number of choices (n−1) and (nm) of incorrect answers increases as the maximum number n of choices increases, the choice problem and the fill-in-place selection problem increase by one. Difficulty in answering the correct answer option.
Therefore, the difficulty level of the problem can be adjusted by setting the maximum number n of setting information options by user input.
Furthermore, for example, when incorrect choices are extracted from any one of partial match information, similar information, and erroneous information, incorrect answer options are extracted from all partial match information, similar information, and erroneous information. There is a possibility that the difficulty level of the problem may be different from the case where it is done.
That is, there is a possibility that the difficulty level of the problem can be adjusted by setting an incorrect answer type of the setting information by a user input.

As for the extracted information, for example, when creating an alternative question, the question of the alternative problem is determined by limiting the incorrect answer choices to any one of partial match information, similar information, and error information. It is also possible to limit the trend.
That is, by setting an incorrect answer type of the setting information by a user input, it is possible to adjust the questioning tendency of the problem.
As a result, the learning support apparatus PC according to the first embodiment can adjust the difficulty level of the problem, the question tendency, and the like according to the user setting, and can actively and actively support the user learning. . In addition, by changing the difficulty level of questions or the tendency of questions according to the user's settings, the user can change the digital textbook to be learned to be easy to learn. The digital textbook can be adapted to the user, and learning can be supported.

Next, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the description of the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the components corresponding to the components of the first embodiment, and the detailed description thereof will be given. Omitted.
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the following points, but is configured in the same manner as the first embodiment in other points.

It is.

(H06) In the above embodiment, the word selected by the user's input is registered as selection information (see ST3 to ST6 etc. in FIG. 8), but it is possible to add a configuration for deleting the registered selection information. It is. In this case, the selection information for which registration has been deleted is also deleted from the target of marker display / shielding display / problem display. It is also possible to add a configuration for adding / deleting annotation information. For example, when an annotation information input unit is provided in the learning support image 101 and the marker display selection information is selected, the annotation information input unit is displayed simultaneously with the annotation information. It is also possible to add (store) memos such as image information as annotation information. It is also possible to add (store) information automatically acquired by using a service such as a search engine on the Web (WWW: World Wide Web) as annotation information.

(H07) In the above embodiment, as the marker display process (see ST8 in FIG. 8, FIG. 18, ST101, ST101 ′ in FIG. 19, etc.), the process of displaying the yellow highlighter on the word of the selection information is executed. However, the processing for highlighting the selection information is not limited to this. For example, the word of the selection information is underlined, that is, displayed underline, It is also possible to display the word in bold, italic, or enlarged. In addition, a configuration is also possible in which marker display processing, underline display, bold display, italic display, enlarged display, and the like can be selected by user input. Furthermore, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the display color of the selection information word, marker, or underline can be selected by user input.
(H08) In the above embodiment, annotation information associated with the selected information is displayed using extracted annotation information and dictionary information (information such as English-Japanese / Japanese-English dictionary and synonym dictionary), and extracted information is displayed. Although it is displayed in the selection group information 202 as an incorrect answer option (see ST103 in FIG. 9, ST202, ST203, ST209, ST210, etc. in FIG. 10), annotation information and dictionary information are preliminarily stored in each device PC, SV. For example, information acquired using a service such as a search engine on the Web can be used as annotation information or dictionary information.

In this case, for example, when the provider (teacher or the like) browses the history stored in the learning support server SV, the provider can help the grasp of the progress of learning with respect to the digital textbook for each user. .

(H015) In the third embodiment, the input information input to the reply image 201 is transmitted all at once when the reply end button 203 is selected (ST302 to ST304, ST513, etc. in FIGS. 5 and 20). The input information transmission method is not limited to this. For example, every time input information is input to the answer image 201, the input information is transmitted to the learning support server SV as needed, and the input of the learning support server SV is performed. Information can be updated at any time. Similarly, with respect to the setting information input to the setting information input unit 301a of the problem setting image 301, the setting information updated when the setting completion button 301 is selected is transmitted all at once, but the setting information input unit It is also possible to transmit the setting information to the learning support server SV whenever necessary to update the setting information in 301a and update the setting information of the learning support server SV as needed. Similarly, with respect to the highlighted word as the selection information, a plurality of words are collectively transmitted as a plurality of selection information when the registration button 102 is selected (ST3 to ST5 and ST6 in FIGS. 4A and 18). ′), Every time an input for selecting a word is made, the word is highlighted and transmitted to the learning support server SV at any time, and the selection information of the learning support server SV can be updated at any time.

(H016) In the above embodiment, when one of a plurality of selection information is selected, the annotation information associated with the selection information is displayed (see ST102, ST103, etc. in FIGS. 4C and 9). For example, when two or more pieces of selection information are selected at the same time, it is possible to display the annotation information commonly associated with the selection information selected at the same time. In addition, when using information acquired using a service such as a search engine on the Web as annotation information, for example, information acquired by searching simultaneously selected information as a plurality of keywords is used as annotation information. It is also possible to display.
(H017) In the above embodiment, when creating a hole-filling selection problem, (nm) pieces of extraction information as incorrect answer options are extracted information associated with each selection information (partial match information / similarity). The selection method of extraction information is not limited to this. For example, if extraction information commonly associated with a plurality of selection information exists, the extraction information is preferentially selected. It is also possible to do so.

(H018) In the above-described embodiment, when creating an alternative problem or a filling-in-place selection problem, partial match information / similarity information / errant information is extracted from the dictionary information as extraction information (incorrect answer options) ( The extracted information extracted from the dictionary information is not limited to partial match information / synonymous information / erroneous information. For example, in a service such as a search engine on the Web, so-called fuzzy search is performed. Extraction information (search results) corresponding to selection information (search conditions) can be extracted from the dictionary information by using a conventionally known regular expression or vector space model technique. The regular expression and the vector space model are known, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-243024, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-329108, and the like.
(H019) In the above-described embodiment, four types of problems, ie, an alternative problem, a rearrangement problem, a hole filling selection problem, and a hole filling problem can be created (see ST201 to ST211 in FIG. 10). It is also possible to create a problem. For example, based on dictionary information (synonymous information) and annotation information (images, etc.), it is possible to create a problem using synonyms, images, etc. associated with the words of the selection information as correct answer information.

(H020) In the above-described embodiment, as the annotation information associated with the selection information, information appealing to visual and auditory senses such as characters, images, 3D models, moving images, and sounds is displayed and reproduced. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to provide information appealing to other five senses, that is, touch, taste, and smell. For example, when a product providing device such as a conventionally known vending machine (see JP 2000-123228 A) is connected to the learning support device PC and the word “lemon” is selected, the providing device By providing the user with a real lemon, information that appeals to sight, touch, taste, and smell can be provided. Moreover, for example, even if it is not a real lemon, the information which appeals to taste can be provided by providing a lemon drink to a user. Further, for example, when the word “lemon” is selected, information that appeals to the sense of smell can be provided by aromating the aroma oil (essential oil) of lemon.
