  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a lesson management system using a communication display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. A class management system 10 shown in FIG. 1 manages class management at various schools, for example, university class management, and includes a plurality of electronic shelf labels 11a, 11b,..., 11n as communication display devices. The communication devices 12a to 12m, a base station 13, an ESL (Electronic Shelf Label) server 14, an attendance management server 15, a course registration server 16, and a master terminal device 17 are configured. .

  The attendance management server 15, the course registration server 16 and the ESL server 14 are connected by a LAN (Local Area Network) 18, and the communication devices 12 a to 12 c are connected to the ESL server 14 via the base station 13. Each communication apparatus 12a-12m is arrange | positioned at the ceiling of the classroom RM of a university, and communicates with each electronic shelf label 11a-11n bidirectionally by infrared rays (or radio | wireless). Each communication apparatus 12a-12m is arrange | positioned in the position which can communicate with all the electronic shelf labels 11a-11n by all the communication apparatuses 12a-12m. The master terminal device 17 is a communicable device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal, and is connected to the attendance management server 15 via a wireless LAN.

  Each of the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n is fixed in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of desks DKa to DKn arranged in the classroom RM. FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 represent the electronic shelf labels 11a. As shown, a QR code (registered trademark) CD1 or barcode BD1 which is a kind of two-dimensional barcode is displayed, or according to various information described later transmitted from the attendance management server 15 via the ESL server 14. Display characters, character string CS1, images, and the like. The electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n fixed to the desks DKa to DKn may be removable only by a manager such as a teacher by a key operation or the like.

  The QR code CD1 displayed on each electronic shelf label 11a to 11n includes a seat position which is a coordinate position in the classroom, a random number for preventing fraud, and an electronic shelf label ID unique to each electronic shelf label 11a to 11f. (Identification) is recorded. The QR code CD1 is optically read by the QR code reader of the portable terminal device 21 possessed by the student. The mobile terminal device 21 is a communicable device such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, or a tablet terminal. When the QR code CD1 is read, the random number, the seat position and the electronic shelf label ID, and the individual identification number of the portable terminal device 21 are wirelessly transmitted to the wireless base station 22 as a set, and the attendance management server 15 is transmitted via the public line 23. To be sent to.

  However, the above random number is a different numerical value each time the QR code CD1 is displayed. Since a different random number is transmitted and registered to the attendance management server 15 each time the mobile terminal device 21 reads the QR code CD1, the random number when the QR code CD1 is displayed next time is different from the previous one. Accordingly, even if the previous QR code CD1 is read (or the previous random number is used) after the random number is registered, the data cannot be updated or registered. As a result, fraud can be prevented.

  In the attendance management server 15, the attendance management DB (database) 47 shown in FIG. 4 is previously associated with the individual identification number of the mobile terminal device 21 and the information of the owner (student information) in a one-to-one correspondence. When the communication unit 46 receives the random number, seat position, electronic shelf label ID, and individual identification number transmitted from the public line 23, the attendance management processing unit 41a is associated with the received individual identification number. The information is associated with a random number and an electronic shelf label ID. This is done when students apply for attendance.

  Next, the configuration of the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n will be described with reference to FIG. On the front surface of the electronic shelf label 11a, a display 31 that displays the QR code CD1 and the character string “Attendance Accepted” CS1, and a communication unit 32 that performs infrared communication with the communication devices 12a to 12m are arranged.

  The communication unit 32 includes a light emitting unit 33 that outputs an infrared signal, and a light receiving unit 34 that receives the infrared signal from the communication devices 12a to 12m, converts the signal into an electrical signal, and outputs the electrical signal to the control unit 36. The light emitting unit 33 that functions as a data transmitting unit is configured by, for example, an LED (light emitting diode), and the light receiving unit 34 that functions as a data receiving unit is configured by, for example, a photodiode and an amplifier.

  The display 31 is a dot matrix non-volatile display unit, and is composed of electronic paper. Since the display 31 is a dot matrix type display unit, it can display not only predetermined numerical values but also characters, symbols, figures, and the like. In addition, since the display 31 is configured by electronic paper, driving power is required only for changing display contents (display updating), and driving power is not required for holding display contents.

  Furthermore, in addition to the QR code CD1 as shown in FIG. 2 and the character string CS1 “accepting attendance” as shown in FIG. 2, the display 31 can display student information, a questionnaire for students, test questions and results, etc. it can. For example, after the student's attendance application, as shown in FIG. 3, the name “Aichi Kyudai”, which is student information, is displayed on the display 31 so that the electronic shelf label 11a and the student are visually associated with each other. In addition, a character string CS2 that represents the unique code of “Aichi University” and a barcode BD1 that represents “Aichi University” are displayed in parallel in the direction in which the barcode BD1 extends. This display layout can be arbitrarily changed.

  Note that when displaying the student's name “Aichi University”, important personal information such as a student ID number is not displayed so that the student is not specified by a third party as in this example.

  Inside the electronic shelf label 11a, there are provided a small battery 37 that supplies power to the electronic shelf label 11a and a control unit 36 that comprehensively controls the operation of the electronic shelf label 11a. The control unit 36 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory, and the like. Various data (image data to be displayed on the display 31, device code of the own device, etc.) are stored in the memory. The control unit 36 functions as a display control unit that controls display on the display 31. For example, when new display data is stored in the memory, the control unit 36 reads out the stored display data and causes the display 31 to display contents corresponding to the data.

  Next, the ESL server 14 will be described. The ESL server 14 can perform bidirectional data communication with the plurality of communication devices 12 a to 12 m via the base station 13.

  The hardware configuration of the ESL server 14 is basically the same as that of a general computer, and the configuration is shown in FIG. The ESL server 14 performs various displays such as a CPU 51 that performs various arithmetic processes, a ROM 52 that stores a boot program, a RAM 53 that is a work area for the arithmetic processes, a hard disk 54 that stores programs, various data files, and the like. In order to display the display 55, the input unit 56 including a keyboard and a mouse, the data communication unit 57 having a data communication function via the LAN 18, and the QR code CD1 and the character string CS1 on the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n. The code character generating unit 58 for generating the code character data and the interface 59 for communicating with the base station 13 are provided.

  Various data to be transmitted to the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n are transmitted to the communication devices 12a to 12m via the interface 59 and the base station 13. The hard disk 54 stores an operation program in advance, and various functions as the ESL server 14 are realized by the CPU 51 performing arithmetic processing according to the operation program. The hard disk 54 also stores a device ID file 54a and a link table 54b.

  The device ID file 54a is a file for storing “device codes” of the respective electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n. The device code is a unique hardware ID registered in each of the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n.

  The link table 54b includes student information such as a student's name, grade, individual identification number of the portable terminal device 21 possessed by the student, display contents on an electronic shelf label, and HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) as a data transmission / reception protocol. This is a table that associates the device codes stored in the device ID file 54a on a one-to-one basis. By the link table 54b, the student information and the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n are associated (linked) in a one-to-one relationship.

  The ESL server 14 transmits various data as student information to the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n. When performing this data transmission, the ESL server 14 refers to the link table 54b, identifies an electronic shelf label (for example, 11a) to be transmitted, and transmits data to the identified electronic shelf label 11a.

  At this time, each of the communication devices 12a to 12m that has received data input from the ESL server 14 outputs the input data to the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n with which the device itself can communicate as an infrared signal. For example, the communication device 12a that has received data input from the ESL server 14 to the electronic shelf label 11a outputs input data to the electronic shelf label 11a as an infrared signal. As a result, predetermined data is received by the electronic shelf label 11 a and displayed on the display 31.

  Next, the configuration of the attendance management server 15 will be described with reference to FIG. The attendance management server 15 is basically the same in hardware configuration as a general computer, and includes various operations including processes of an attendance management processing unit 41a, a grouping processing unit 41b, a class management processing unit 41c, and an examination execution processing unit 41d. CPU 41 that performs processing, ROM 42 that stores a boot program, RAM 43 that is a work area for arithmetic processing, display 44 that performs various displays, input unit 45 including a keyboard and a mouse, and the like via LAN 18 A communication unit 46 having a data communication function, an attendance management DB 47, a grade management DB 48, and an examination question DB 49 are provided.

  The attendance management processing unit 41a performs a one-to-one correspondence process between the attendees attending the class and the electronic shelf label 11a fixed to the desk (for example, DKa) on which the attendee is seated. To do.

  In the attendance management DB 47, the individual identification number of the mobile terminal device 21 owned by each student and the student information of the owner are associated with each other and registered in the attendance management information AM1 shown in FIG. . The attendance management information AM1 shown in FIG. 6 is student information for one person. Further, the seat position information received together with the electronic shelf label ID is registered in the attendance management information AM1 as a student seating position as will be described later.

  Attendance management information AM1 is: current / past class data = 1 (1 indicates the class currently being conducted, 0 indicates the past class), unique ID = 123598766825 (random number read from QR code CD1 above, from 12 digits ID number without duplication), class opening year data = 2011, semester start time data = 4 (month), subject ID = MS1 (representing mathematics), class implementation week data = 2 (lap), class building ID = AK10 (building number where class was held), lecture room number data = LR5 (lecture room number where class was held), seat row number data = Mi7, seat row number data = Mj3, student ID = AIT1000 (student ID) , Last name data = Aichi, First name data = Huge University, Last name data = Aichi Kyudai, Attendance application reception time data = 09:50, Solid identification number data = Mobile 789 are registered It is made.

  However, the registration by associating the student's unique information with the attendance management DB 47 with the individual identification number of the portable terminal device 21 owned by the student is performed at the beginning of the semester or when the student makes the portable terminal device 21 a different model. Go when you change.

  The seat position associated with the electronic shelf label ID corresponds to seat row number data = Mi7 and seat column number data = Mj3 as seating positions. Furthermore, the class building ID = AK10 and the lecture room number data = LR5 may be associated with the seat position (or electronic shelf label ID). In addition, attendance application reception time data = 09: 50 is transmitted and registered in association with the electronic shelf label ID of the reading time in the mobile terminal device 21.

  When the attendance management processing unit 41a receives the set of the electronic shelf label ID, the reading time, and the individual identification number from the public line 23, the attendance management processing unit 41a accesses the attendance management DB 47 and associates the received individual identification number with the student. The attendance management information AM1 is searched. The retrieved attendance management information AM1 is associated with the received electronic shelf label ID, the class building ID = AK10, the lecture room number data = LR5, the seat row number data = Mi7, the seat associated with the electronic shelf label ID. Column number data = Mj3 is registered, a random number is registered as a unique ID, and a reading time is registered as an attendance application reception time ID = 09: 50. In addition, necessary student information is registered.

  This registration completes the application for attendance. That is, the student can complete the application for attendance simply by reading the QR code CD1 displayed on the electronic shelf label 11a of the desk DKa on which the student is sitting with the mobile terminal device 21.

  The attendance management information AM1 registered in the attendance management DB 47 can be acquired and displayed when the teacher accesses the attendance management server 15 from the master terminal device 17. As shown in FIG. 7, the master terminal device 17 displays each student and vacant seats in the classroom RM in the form of a seating chart 61, and the teacher clicks on a desired student (for example, ST1a) in the seating chart 61, The attendance management information AM1 for the student is displayed. Therefore, the teacher can easily grasp what kind of student is sitting on which desk DKa or the vacant seat situation.

  Next, the grouping processing unit 41b will be described. When a grouping instruction is transmitted from the master terminal device 17 operated by the teacher, the grouping processing unit 41b reads the attendance management information AM1 of each student from the attendance management DB 47 and performs grouping according to the grouping instruction. Group information indicating grouping is generated. This group information is transmitted from the communication unit 46 of the attendance management server 15 to the ESL server 14 via the LAN 18, and further transmitted from the communication devices 12 a to 12 m to the respective electronic shelf labels 11 a to 11 n via the base station 13. Thereby, the group number is displayed on each of the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n. At the same time, for each student who is currently seated, the destination instruction information such as “same number of group, please sit down in what number of seats” is displayed. Furthermore, a QR code for notifying movement completion is also displayed on the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n.

  The student who has confirmed the destination instruction information is seated at the destination seat. At this time, when the mobile terminal device 21 reads the QR code for the movement end notification displayed in one corner of the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n, the movement end is completed. The notification is transmitted to the attendance management server 15 through the radio base station 22 and the public line 23 together with the electronic shelf label ID, the random number, the seat position, and the individual identification number of the destination.

  The grouping processing unit 41b of the attendance management server 15 that has received this transmission information uses the seating position and random number of the attendance management information AM1 in the attendance management DB 47 in accordance with the received individual identification number, seat position, random number, and electronic shelf label ID. The unique ID and the electronic shelf label ID are changed. Thereafter, grouping is executed by the same process every time the group is changed.

  Further, every time a new group is formed by the grouping process, the grouping processing unit 41b performs a process of storing the group information in the attendance management DB 47 in a history format. The group information stored in this history format is used when the group is changed next time. For example, it is used so that the same student does not belong to the same group as the previous time in the next grouping.

  Next, the lesson management processing unit 41c will be described. The class management processing unit 41c performs processing for writing and reading necessary information such as test results and reports in the grade management information RM1 shown in FIG. 8 registered in the grade management DB. In this example, as the grade management information RM1, information such as submission / non-submission of the first term test (mathematics), small test (physics), and report (electricity) of each student such as Aichi Hiroshi, Nagoya Takeshi, and Earth Expo is registered. I expressed that. However, the contents of the report are also registered as a set of report submission information, and the contents of the report are displayed when the submission is clicked.

  When the teacher wants to see the student's grade, the master terminal device 17 displayed in the form of the seating chart 61 first performs a predetermined grade display operation and then clicks on the desired student. When this click operation command is transmitted to the attendance management server 15, the class management processing unit 41c reads the student's grade management information RM1 from the grade management DB. The read student grade management information RM1 is transmitted to the master terminal device 17 via the communication unit 46 and displayed.

  Next, the test execution processing unit 41d will be described. The test execution processing unit 41d performs processing for writing and reading problem information (not shown) such as mathematics in the test question DB 49 in accordance with the operation of the teacher's question writing / reading instruction in the master terminal device 17. In addition, in response to a problem transmission command in the master terminal device 17, the read problem information is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 21 of the corresponding student and displayed.

  When displaying a problem on the desired student's mobile terminal device 21 as described above, first, the teacher accesses the student registration information 16 (for example, mathematics) on the master terminal device 17 to confirm the student's course information. However, the course registration information of each student is registered in the course registration server 16 in advance at the beginning of the year. If it is confirmed that the student has taken mathematics by the confirmation, the master terminal device 17 further confirms that the student is associated with the electronic shelf label (for example, 11a) one-to-one. After the confirmation, when a master problem acquisition operation is performed in the master terminal device 17, the test execution processing unit 41 d acquires the test question of the corresponding mathematics from the test question DB 49 and transmits it to the master terminal device 17 in accordance with this operation command. And display processing.

  After the teacher confirms the displayed problem, when the student performs an operation to display the problem on the electronic shelf label 11a on which the student is seated, the test execution processing unit 41d displays the problem acquired for the display on the LAN 18, A process of transmitting and displaying each electronic shelf label via the ESL server 14, the base station 13, and the communication devices 12a to 12m is performed. In this case, the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n need to have large electronic paper.

  However, the teacher once skips the step of confirming the problem as described above, and the teacher performs the operation of displaying the mathematical problem to the desired student in the master terminal device 17, and according to this operation instruction, the test execution processing unit 41d may acquire the corresponding mathematical test question from the test question DB 49, and transmit it to each electronic shelf label via the ESL server 14, the base station 13, and the communication devices 12a to 12m for display.

  In addition, the display of the test question to the student may be the student's portable terminal device 21 instead of the electronic shelf label 11a. In this case, the test question is transmitted to the student's mobile terminal device 21 via the public line 23 and the wireless base station 22 and displayed.

  The problem displayed on the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n or the student's portable terminal device 21 may be automatically cleared at a predetermined time such as at the end of the test time. This is performed by simultaneously transmitting a command for the time when the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n or the portable terminal device 21 automatically erase the display when transmitting the problem to the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n or the portable terminal device 21.

  Moreover, when displaying a problem on the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n or the mobile terminal device 21, the test execution processing unit 41d may perform a test display process without correlation between students sitting next to each other. For example, the test display of different subjects in the adjacent areas is performed, or if the adjacent areas are the same test, the process of displaying the test questions in a different order is performed. Furthermore, a process of changing the test start time for each student or for each subject may be performed.

  Next, the processing operation at the time of class management by such a class management system will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, in step S1 of FIG. 9, when a student changes the mobile terminal device 21 to another model at the beginning of the semester or at a predetermined terminal device in the university, the student's unique ID (including the student ID) The individual identification number of the portable terminal device 21 owned by the student is registered. As a result of the registration, the attendance management processing unit 41a of the attendance management server 15 performs a process of associating the student's unique ID with the individual identification number on a one-to-one basis, as shown in FIG. Is registered as attendance management information AM1 of the corresponding student. That is, the unique ID = 123598766825, the student ID = AIT1000, and the individual identification number data = Mobile 789 are registered.

  On the other hand, at the start of the class in step S2, electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n are fixed to the desks DKa to DKn of the classroom RM on a one-to-one basis, and the display 31 of these electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n, for example, The QR code CD1 and the character string CS1 “Attendance accepted” shown in FIG. 2 are displayed.

  Here, in step S3, it is assumed that the student enters the classroom RM and applies for attendance. In this case, for example, a student sitting at the desk DKa reads the QR code CD1 of the electronic shelf label 11a with his / her portable terminal device 21 and applies for attendance.

  As a result of the reading, in step S4, the electronic shelf label ID and random number, the seat position and the individual identification number of the portable terminal device 21 are set and wirelessly transmitted from the portable terminal device 21 to the wireless base station 22, and the public line 23 Is sent to the attendance management server 15.

  When the attendance management server 15 receives this transmission information, in step S5, the attendance management processing unit 41a searches the attendance management DB 47 for the same solid identification number as the received solid identification number, and the retrieved solid identification number. Is associated with the student's unique ID of the attendance management information AM1 registered with the received random number and electronic shelf label ID.

  At this time, the seat position information received together with the electronic shelf label ID is registered as seat row number data = Mi7 and seat column number data = Mj3 as the seating position of the student. At this time, the class building ID = AK10 and the lecture room number data = LR5 associated with the electronic shelf label ID are also registered. Furthermore, a random number is also registered as a unique ID.

  Furthermore, attendance management information AM1 includes current / past class data = 1, class opening year data = 2011, semester start time data = 4 (month), subject ID = MS1 (mathematics), class implementation week data = 2 (laps) Eye), Last name data of the student = Aichi, First name data = Hiroshima, Last name data = Aichi Hirodai, Attendance application reception time data = 09: 50, which is the time when the student reads the QR code CD1 with the mobile terminal device 21, is also registered. The

  After the registration, in step S6, the attendance management processing unit 41a sends the first and last name data from the attendance management server 15 to the electronic shelf label 11a on which the student is seated via the LAN 18, the ESL server 14, the base station 13 and the communication device 12a. By transmitting predetermined registration information including the information, “Aichi University” shown in FIG. 3 which is the name of the student is displayed on the electronic shelf label 11a. At this time, a barcode BD1 or the like indicating “Aichi University” may be displayed. Thereby, the attendance application is completed in step S7.

  After the attendance application is completed, when the teacher confirms the attendance status of the student in step S8, the attendance confirmation operation is performed from the master terminal device 17, so that, for example, the seating chart 61 shown in FIG. Confirmation can be made. This is because the attendance management processing unit 41a obtains the attendance management information AM1 from the attendance management DB 47 and creates the above seating chart 61 by accessing the attendance management server 15 from the master terminal device 17 by the attendance confirmation operation. This is performed by transmitting to the master terminal device 17.

  Further, in step S9, when the teacher wants to know the information of the desired student, the attendance management information AM1 of the student is displayed by clicking the corresponding student (for example, ST1a) in the seating chart 61. Information can be confirmed.

  Next, the case where students are divided into groups during classes will be explained. In step S11 of FIG. 10, when the teacher performs a grouping instruction operation from the master terminal device 17, this operation command is transmitted to the attendance management server 15, and grouping processing is performed by the grouping processing unit 41b. That is, the attendance management information AM1 of each student is acquired from the attendance management DB 47 by the grouping processing unit 41b, grouping is performed according to the grouping instruction given by the teacher, and this group information is generated.

  In step S12, the group information is transmitted from the attendance management server 15 to the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n from the communication devices 12a to 12m via the ESL server 14 and the base station 13. As a result, the group number is displayed on each of the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n, and for each student who is currently seated, the destination of movement such as “She is in what number group, please sit in what number seat”. Instruction information is displayed. Furthermore, a QR code for notifying movement completion is also displayed on the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n.

  Here, in step S13, the student who has confirmed the destination instruction information is seated at the destination seat, and at this time, the mobile terminal device 21 uses the mobile terminal device 21 to display the movement end notification QR code displayed on the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n. read. By this reading, a movement end notification is transmitted to the attendance management server 15 together with the electronic shelf label ID of the movement destination, the random number and the seat position, and the individual identification number of the mobile terminal device 21.

  In step S14, the grouping processing unit 41b of the attendance management server 15 that has received the transmission information determines the seating position and electronic information of the attendance management information AM1 according to the received individual identification number, seat position, random number, and electronic shelf label ID. The shelf label ID is changed. The group information at the time of this change is stored in the attendance management DB 47 in a history format.

  Next, a case where a teacher conducts class management based on student grades will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the teacher confirms the grade of the corresponding student, the seat chart 61 is displayed on the master terminal device 17 in step S21. After the display operation for confirming the grade etc. is performed in step S22, the desired student is displayed. Click.

  When this click operation command is transmitted to the attendance management server 15, in step S23, the class management processing unit 41c reads the grade management information RM1 shown in FIG. 8, for example, of the student from the grade management DB 48, and this grade management information. RM1 is transmitted to the master terminal device 17 and displayed. Thus, in step S24, the teacher can confirm the grade of the desired student.

  Next, a case where a test is performed will be described with reference to FIG. Prior to the test, the teacher performs a predetermined operation in step S31 in order to confirm the problem of the corresponding test from the master terminal device 17. In step S <b> 32, the corresponding test question is read from the test question DB 49 and displayed on the master terminal device 17 by the test execution processing unit 41 d according to the operation command from the master terminal device 17. In step S33, after confirming the display problem, the teacher accesses the course registration server 16 from the master terminal device 17 to confirm the course information of the student to be tested.

  If it is confirmed that the subject has been taken by this confirmation, it is further confirmed in step S34 whether or not the application for attendance of the corresponding student is completed. This is confirmed by whether or not the student is associated with the electronic shelf label 11a on a one-to-one basis.

  After this confirmation, when the teacher performs an operation for transmitting the corresponding problem from the master terminal device 17 in step S35, the operation instruction is transmitted to the attendance management server 15, and the test execution processing unit 41d performs the processing for transmitting the corresponding problem. .

  At this time, in step S36, the test execution processing unit 41d executes a process so that the students who are seated next to each other display a test question having no correlation. For example, a test display of subjects different from mathematics and physics, etc., is performed next to each other, or if the adjacent tests are the same in mathematics, the test questions are displayed in a different order. After this processing, the corresponding problem is transmitted to each electronic shelf label via the ESL server 14, the base station 13, and the communication devices 12a to 12m and displayed. This display allows the student to perform the exam.

  In step S37, the test questions displayed on the student's electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n automatically disappear at the test end time. This is because when the problem is transmitted from the attendance management server 15 to the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n, the problem display on the electronic shelf labels 11a to 11n is automatically deleted at a predetermined time by the treatment of the test execution processing unit 41d.
