In FIG. 1, a correspondence education system 100 according to the first embodiment is configured by a server 110 and a plurality of terminal devices (learning support devices) 120. As shown in FIG. The distance learning system 100 may also include a terminal device 150 used by a learning manager such as a guardian of a learner using one of the plurality of terminal devices 120 .

The server 110 is managed by an operator (administrator) of the distance learning system 100 or the like. Server 110 can be realized by, for example, a general-purpose computer device such as a personal computer (see FIG. 2A). The server 110 stores a teaching material database and a subscriber database (both not shown).

The terminal device 120 can be realized by, for example, a portable computer device (portable terminal device) called a tablet computer or a tablet terminal (see FIG. 2B). The terminal device 120 is distributed in advance to the users of the distance learning system 100 when the distance learning system 100 is operated.

The terminal device 120 has a touch screen configured by a display and a touch panel (see FIG. 2B), and uses this touch screen to reproduce study content. The terminal device 120 can be operated using a predetermined operating member 130, for example. The operation member 130 can be implemented by a pointing device such as an electronic pen called a capacitive touch pen, digitizer stylus, or the like.

Learning content is, for example, a series of programs for learning one or more learning objects (for example, how to write hiragana "zu").

In FIG. 2B, a computer device that realizes the terminal device 120 includes a CPU 221, a memory 222, a network I/F 223, a touch screen (display device) 224, a microphone 225, a speaker 226, and a camera 227. , and a power switch 228 . Further, each of these components included in the computer device that realizes the terminal device 120 in the distance learning system 100 according to the first embodiment is connected by a bus 220 .

The CPU 221 controls the entire terminal device 120 . The memory 222 stores programs such as a boot program, and various data such as a password at startup. Also, the memory 222 is used as a work area for the CPU 221 . Memory 222 can be implemented by, for example, a flash memory or the like.

The network I/F 223 is connected to a network 140 such as the Internet via a radio wave relay device such as a Wi-Fi router (not shown). Network I/F 223 controls input/output of data with external devices such as server 110 via network 140 .

The touch screen 224 has a display 224a and a touch panel 224b. The display 224a displays, for example, icons indicating menus that can be executed by the terminal device 120, learning images related to learning content instructed to be reproduced in response to operation of the icons, and the like. The display 224a can be realized, for example, mainly by a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display.

The touch panel 224b is stacked on the display surface side of the display 224a and outputs a signal to the CPU 221 according to the operation position. As the touch panel 224b, various known systems such as an electromagnetic induction system, a resistive film system, a capacitance system, an acoustic pulse recognition system, an ultrasonic surface acoustic wave system, an infrared light shielding system, and an image recognition system can be used. .

The touch screen 224 is a touch screen that accepts operations by touching the touch panel 224b (touching it with a finger, the operation member 130, etc.), and is capable of accepting a multi-touch operation in which a plurality of points on the touch panel 224b are touched simultaneously. It can be realized by a screen. In the multi-touch screen, for example, while two fingertips such as a thumb and index finger are in contact with the touch panel 224b, a pinch-out operation to widen the distance between the two fingertips, or a pinch-out operation to widen the distance between the two fingertips. A pinch-in operation by contracting can be accepted.

Further, when the touch screen 224 detects contact of the operation member 130 on the touch panel 224b while reproducing learning content described later, if the detected contact position is included in a predetermined area on the touch panel 224b, , the display 224a displays handwritten information such as handwritten characters in which the position touched by the operation member 130 is visualized. That is, the touch screen 224 can receive input (writing) of handwritten characters and the like by the learner on the touch panel 224b, and can display the received handwritten characters and the like as handwritten information on the display 224a.

The touch panel 224b receives an input operation by the learner and outputs to the CPU 221 a signal corresponding to the received input operation. The touch panel 224b determines, for example, whether or not there is an input operation on the touch panel 224b, the position at which the input operation is received on the touch panel 224b, the medium on which the input operation is performed, and the like, and outputs a signal corresponding to the received input operation to the CPU 221.

The touch panel 224b outputs different types of signals according to, for example, the medium on which the input operation is performed. Based on the difference between the amount of static electricity generated when a human hand touches the touch panel 224b and the amount of static electricity generated when the operation member 130 touches the touch panel 224b, the CPU 221 determines whether the medium on which the input operation has been performed is the human hand. or the operation member 130 can be determined.

The microphone 225 analog/digital converts voice such as a speaker's voice input as analog data to generate digital voice data. Microphone 225 is used, for example, when learning English pronunciation. The speaker 226 digital-to-analog converts digital audio data, and outputs audio by, for example, energizing a coil in a speaker cone based on the analog audio data.

The camera 227 takes an image of an object to be imaged by operating the touch panel 224b and generates image data. The generated image data can be stored in memory 222 . The network I/F 223 is connected to a network 140 such as the Internet and serves as an interface for communication with the server 110 via the network 140 .

The power switch 228 performs ON/OFF switching of power supply from a power source (not shown) to each unit of the terminal device 120 . The power switch 228 performs ON/OFF switching of power supply on the power supply side (most upstream side) in a power path from a power supply (not shown) to each part of the terminal device 120 . The power switch 228 outputs an ON/OFF signal to the CPU 221 according to the received operation.

Although the configuration of the computer device that implements the terminal device 120 has been described, the configuration of the computer device that implements the terminal device 150 is the same as the configuration of the computer device that implements the terminal device 120 .

(Example of teaching material database)
The teaching material database stored by the server 110 associates and stores information about a unit (lecture) in the learning content, a theme for each unit (lecture), and information about learning content in the unit (lecture). In addition, the teaching material database associates and stores information about the class of the learner of each learning content for each unit (lecture). The learner's class is, for example, the learner's age, class, grade (younger, junior or senior).

Learning content includes learning types such as "writing hiragana", "writing katakana", "writing suuji", "speaking English", "writing pictures", and "learning weights". Yes, the teaching material database may store learning content for each learning type.

Learning content related to character practice, such as "writing hiragana", "writing katakana", and "writing suuji", is displayed on the touch screen of the terminal device 120, for example, by displaying a model of the character to be practiced on the touch screen of the terminal device 120. It includes contents such as prompting handwriting input of characters to be practiced on the touch screen. Furthermore, the learning content related to character practice may include the content of displaying on the touch screen the evaluation result of the handwritten input character (for example, the evaluation result based on the degree of matching with the model character).

The learning content of the learning content such as "Let's speak English" is, for example, outputting the utterance of the words to be practiced from the speaker of the terminal device 120 and prompting the microphone of the terminal device 120 to input the utterance of the words to be practiced.

The learning content of “learn weights” is, for example, outputting a problem such as which of two objects displayed on the touch screen of the terminal device 120 is heavier from the touch screen or the speaker of the terminal device 120, and , prompting the user to enter the answer to the question on the touch screen. Furthermore, the learning content of "learning things" may include the content of displaying the evaluation result (for example, correct answer or incorrect answer) for the input answer on the touch screen.

(Example of subscriber database)
The subscriber database stores information about the learning progress for each course in association with each learner's identification information. The information about the progress of learning represents the progress of learning, and can be realized, for example, by information about the reproduction history of learning content. The reproduction history of learning content can be realized by, for example, identification information of the learning content that has been reproduced and information on the reproduction date and time of the learning content.

Also, the information about the learning progress may represent, for example, the degree of comprehension (grade) for each course. In this way, by managing the progress of learning for each learner, it is possible for each learner to study an appropriate course in accordance with the progress of the learning of the learner. Further, the subscriber database may store information about the learner himself/herself, such as the name (member name), grade, date of birth, etc. of the learner who is a subscriber who subscribes to the correspondence education system 100 . The subscriber database may also contain information about the learner's guardians, such as the learner's parents.

(Functional configuration of the terminal device according to the first embodiment)
3 is a block diagram of an example of a functional configuration of the terminal device according to the first embodiment; FIG. In FIG. 3, the functions of the terminal device 120 can be implemented by a processing unit 301. FIG. The processing unit 301 includes a storage unit 302 , a control unit 303 , an output unit 304 and an input unit 305 . The processing results of each functional unit are stored in a storage device such as the memory 222, for example.

The storage unit 302 stores learning content downloaded from the server 110 by the terminal device 120 by the operation of the learner or the learning manager, among the learning contents included in the teaching material database stored by the server 110, for example. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and for example, the terminal device 120 may collectively download the teaching material database stored by the server 110, and the storage unit 302 may store the collectively downloaded teaching material database. The storage unit 302 also stores, for example, identification information of the terminal device 120, information about the learner, passwords used for starting and operating the terminal device 120, and the like.

In addition, under the control of the control unit 303, which will be described later, the storage unit 302 stores screenshots acquired during reproduction of the learning content in association with the learning content reproduced on the terminal device 120. FIG. In this embodiment, the memory 222 can implement the function of the storage unit 302 .

The control unit 303 controls the output unit 304 to reproduce the learning content for the learner. Specifically, the output unit 304 can be realized by the display 224 a (touch screen 224 ) and the speaker 226 . The control unit 303, for example, displays questions and answer input fields on the display 224a, and reproduces learning contents such as reproducing images (moving images), sounds, and the like.

In addition, when the reproduced learning content includes content for accepting input of handwritten characters, voice, etc. from the learner, the control unit 303 controls the input unit 305 to input handwritten characters, voice, etc. accept. Specifically, the input unit 305 can be realized by the touch panel 224 b and the microphone 225 . The control unit 303 controls the input unit 305 to receive an input operation by the learner on the touch panel 224b, and acquires a signal according to the received input operation from the touch panel 224b. Further, the input unit 305 controls the input unit 305 to receive voice input from the learner to the microphone 225 and acquires a signal corresponding to the received voice input from the microphone 225 .

Further, the control unit 303 acquires a screen shot of the contents displayed on the output unit 304 (for example, the touch screen 224) as an image while the learning content is being reproduced, and associates the acquired screen shot with the learning content. and store it in the storage unit 302 . Screenshots are described below (see FIG. 4C). In addition, the control unit 303 generates a list image that collectively displays screen shots acquired and stored in the storage unit 302 for each of the plurality of played learning contents. List images will be described later (see FIG. 4D).

The control unit 303 also controls the output unit 304 to display the generated list image to the user. For example, the control unit 303 causes the touch screen 224 to display a screen including the generated list image. In this embodiment, the functions of the control unit 303 can be realized by the CPU 221 and the memory 222 .

(Learning screen displayed by the terminal device according to the first embodiment)
4A and 4B are explanatory diagrams showing examples of learning screens displayed by the terminal device according to the first embodiment. A learning screen 410 shown in FIG. 4A is a screen displayed on the touch screen 224 by playing back the above-described learning content for “writing hiragana”. For example, in a state where a home screen (not shown) is displayed on the touch screen 224, the learner sees each icon representing different learning content included in the home screen, and the icon representing the learning content that the learner wishes to study. is touched, the terminal device 120 is instructed to reproduce the study content.

When an icon on the home screen displayed on the touch screen 224 is touched, the terminal device 120 reproduces learning content corresponding to that icon. For example, if the touched icon is the icon corresponding to the learning content “writing hiragana”, terminal device 120 displays learning screen 410 shown in FIG. 4A on touch screen 224 instead of the home screen. to display.

The learning screen 410 includes a model display portion 411 , a handwritten character input field 412 , and an illustration display portion 413 . The model display portion 411 is an area for displaying a model of the hiragana currently being learned (“zu” in the example shown in FIG. 4A).

The handwritten character input field 412 is an area that accepts input of the learner's handwritten characters. In the handwritten character input field 412, there are an outer frame 412a of an area into which the handwritten character is to be input, guide lines 412b drawn with dotted cross lines so as to divide the area into which the handwritten character is to be input into four, and a model display section. A model 412c for writing the hiragana displayed in 411 in the outer frame 412a is provided. Further, handwritten character input field 412 is added with handwritten character portion 412 d when handwritten character by operation member 130 is accepted.

The learner, for example, likens the operation member 130 to a writing instrument and moves the operation member 130 on the touch screen 224 so as to write characters on the handwritten character input field 412 . As a result, the portion touched by the operation member 130 on the touch screen 224 is accepted as handwriting, and the handwritten character can be input to the handwritten character input field 412 .

At this time, the learner moves the operation member 130 so as to trace the model 412c, for example, so that even if the learner is not proficient in the hiragana to be learned, the learner can practice the strokes to write the hiragana to be learned according to the model. can do. However, the model 412c may be omitted from the handwritten character input field 412 depending on the progress of learning. In this case, the learner relies on the guide line 412b, for example, and while considering the balance within the outer frame 412a of the hiragana to be learned, practices the strokes for writing the hiragana to be learned according to the model. can be done. Both the model 412c and the guide line 412b may be omitted from the handwritten character input field 412 depending on the progress of learning. In this case, the learner can, for example, rely only on the model displayed on the model display section 411 to practice strokes for writing the hiragana to be learned according to the model.

A handwriting portion 412d indicates a portion where handwriting by the operation member 130 is received. Further, the handwriting portion 412d is updated each time the received handwriting changes. That is, by displaying the portion where the handwriting is accepted as the handwriting part 412d during the input of handwritten characters, it is produced as if the character is actually written with the writing instrument, and the feeling of writing using the actual writing instrument is learned. can do. Also, by looking at the handwriting portion 412d while inputting handwritten characters, it is possible to easily grasp how the learner has performed the strokes so far.

The illustration display portion 413 is an area for displaying illustrations related to the hiragana currently being learned. In the example shown in FIG. 4A, the current hiragana to be learned is "Zu", and the illustration display area 413 displays an illustration of Zubon whose pronunciation begins with "Zu". As a result, the learner can learn the hiragana to be learned by associating it with the image of the object related to the hiragana.

The back button 414 is a button for returning the terminal device 120 from the state in which the terminal device 120 displays the current screen to the state in which the terminal device 120 displayed the previous screen. For example, when the back button 414 is touched on the learning screen 410, the terminal device 120 returns to displaying the home screen.

The course number display portion 415 is an area for displaying the number of the current course. In the example shown in FIG. 4A, there are eight courses as one set of courses, and the current course is the second course among them. The forward button 416 is a button for proceeding to the learning screen of the next hiragana course. The return button 417 is a button for returning to the learning screen of the previous hiragana course.

When the learner completes inputting handwritten characters into the handwritten character input field 412, the terminal device 120 calculates an evaluation value of the input handwritten characters. Completion of handwritten character input to handwritten character input field 412 is, for example, when the received handwriting satisfies a predetermined condition regarding characteristics of a model character, or when operation member 130 is separated from touch screen 224. It can be detected by the fact that it has continued for a certain period of time. The handwritten character evaluation value can be calculated, for example, by determining the degree of matching between the input handwritten character shape and the preset character shape.

Then, the terminal device 120 adds an evaluation display section 421 corresponding to the calculated evaluation value to the learning screen 410, as shown in FIG. 4B. The evaluation display section 421 is added so as to overlap the handwritten character input field 412 so that, for example, the handwritten character input in the handwritten character input field 412 can be intuitively evaluated. In the example shown in FIG. 4B , the evaluation display portion 421 displays a flower mark indicating that the input handwritten character has a high evaluation value.

(Screenshots stored by the terminal device according to the first embodiment)
4C is an explanatory diagram of an example of a screen shot stored by the terminal device according to the first embodiment; FIG. In FIG. 4C, the same parts as those shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. Terminal device 120 acquires, for example, learning screen 410 shown in FIG. 4B as screenshot 430, and stores acquired screenshot 430 in storage unit 302 in association with the learning content of current learning screen 410. FIG.

The screenshot 430 is a still image stored in a format such as bitmap or JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). A screenshot is also called a screen shot, a screen dump, or the like.

For example, the screenshot 430 is acquired at a screenshot acquisition timing set in advance in association with the learning content during the period during which the learning content displaying the learning screen 410 is being played. An example of screenshot acquisition timing will be described later (see FIG. 5A).

An example of how to acquire the screenshot 430 will be described. For example, in the configuration of terminal device 120 shown in FIG. A screenshot 430 can be obtained by making a copy of the data being output. Alternatively, the CPU 221 may acquire the screen shot 430 by outputting data indicating the displayed learning screen 410 from the display 224 a to the CPU 221 .

Further, the screenshot 430 may be a still image of the displayed content at the screenshot acquisition timing based on data (screen capture) in which changes in the learning screen 410 are recorded as a moving image.

In the example shown in FIG. 4C, screenshot 430 captures the entire learning screen 410 as an image. It can be anything. The portion of study screen 410 captured as screenshot 430 is set in advance for each study content, for example.

In addition, terminal device 120 converts screen change data capable of reproducing changes in learning screen 410 while learning content is being played back on learning screen 410 (for example, while handwritten characters are being input to handwritten character input field 412) into the current learning screen. It may be stored in the storage unit 302 in association with the learning content 410 (“writing hiragana” in the example shown in FIG. 4C). Whether or not to store this screen change data is set in advance for each learning content, for example (see FIG. 5A).

The screen change data is, for example, stroke data that chronologically indicates handwriting input received during reproduction of learning content. The stroke data is, for example, information in which coordinates indicating the contact position of the operation member 130 on the touch screen 224 are stored in chronological order. For example, according to the time-series handwritten input indicated by the stroke data, by displaying on the touch screen 224 the same content (for example, changes in handwriting) as if the handwritten input was received during playback of the learning content (that is, the By simulating the reproduction of the learning content and the chronological handwriting input indicated by the stroke data), changes in the learning screen 410 during the reproduction of the learning content can be reproduced. In addition, since stroke data is smaller in data size than moving image data or the like, the capacity of the storage unit 302 required for storing screen change data can be reduced by using stroke data as screen change data.

Alternatively, the screen change data may be video data recorded by screen capture or the like of changes in the learning screen 410 during playback of the learning content. By reproducing the moving image data on the touch screen 224, it is possible to reproduce changes in the learning screen 410 during reproduction of the learning content. In addition, since moving image data can be acquired regardless of the user's operation method, etc., in various learning contents accompanied by display on the touch screen 224, screen change data can be acquired by using moving image data as screen change data. It is possible to simplify the mechanism for

Further, the terminal device 120 may store the voice recorded by the microphone 225 during the reproduction of the learning content on the learning screen 410 in the storage unit 302 in association with the current learning content on the learning screen 410 . Whether or not to store this voice is set in advance for each learning content, for example (see FIG. 5A).

(Today's screen displayed by the terminal device according to the first embodiment)
4D is an explanatory diagram of an example of a screen created today displayed by the terminal device according to the first embodiment; FIG. In FIG. 4D, the same parts as those shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. The screen 440 created today shown in FIG. This is a screen displayed on H.224.

For example, the terminal device 120 prompts the learner to take the terminal device 120 to the learning manager, call the learning manager (for example, a parent), or take the learning manager for more than a predetermined period of time. A message is output by voice or screen display, and a screen 440 created today is displayed. The display of this today's done screen 440 may be performed on the condition that the learning time by the terminal device 120 exceeds a predetermined time, or an operation from the learner or the learning manager (for example, the touch of the today's done button). may be done by

The today's done screen 440 includes a list image 441 , play buttons 442 a and 442 b , an edit button 443 , a storage button 444 , a back button 414 , and a today's done list button 445 .

The list image 441 consists of blocks 441a to 441e and a comment column 441f. The blocks 441a-441e are arranged adjacent to each other in a tile fashion. In addition, blocks 441a to 441e are images obtained by performing processing such as reduction or clipping on each screen shot stored for each learning content played on the same day as today's screen 440 was displayed. . For example, the terminal device 120 stores an arrangement pattern of blocks for each number of learning contents reproduced on the same day, and generates a list image 441 in which each block is arranged according to the stored arrangement pattern.

For example, block 441a is part of screenshot 430 (see FIG. 4C) that captures as an image the content displayed on touch screen 224 during playback of "writing hiragana" shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B (handwriting). This is a reduced image of the portion including the character input field 412). Block 441b is a reduced image of part of the content displayed on touch screen 224 during playback of learning content for practicing pronunciation of an English word (“strawberry” in the example shown in FIG. 4D).

A block 441c is a reduced image of a portion of the content displayed on the touch screen 224 during the reproduction of learning content for learning the concept of weight in a quiz format. A block 441d is a part of the content displayed on the touch screen 224 during the playback of the learning content in which the learner listens to the story played back by the terminal device 120 and draws a picture of the story by imagination (the learner draws a picture of the story). It is a reduced image of the part including the drawn picture). A block 441e is a reduced image of a portion of the content displayed on the touch screen 224 during playback of learning content for learning the types of objects (stationery in the example shown in FIG. 4D) in a quiz format.

As shown in FIG. 4D, a list image 441 is generated to collectively display screenshots of each learning content that the learner performed on that day. As a result, the list image 441 allows the learner to easily grasp what kind of learning content and how the learner worked on that day.

For example, it is difficult for learning administrators to grasp the results (for example, handwriting) of the above-mentioned character practice such as "writing hiragana", "writing katakana", and "writing suuji" based on the grading results for the learner's input. Regarding learning, according to block 441a, the learning manager can grasp what characters the learner actually wrote. Therefore, the learning manager can evaluate how the learner has improved based on the characters actually written by the learner compared to the characters written by the learner in the past.

Also, drawing learning such as the above-mentioned "drawing a picture" is learning in which it is difficult to score the learner's input. can be grasped by the learning administrator. For this reason, the learning manager should set criteria based on the learning manager's own way of thinking about learning (for example, whether a picture can be drawn accurately or whether a picture rich in ideas can be drawn) based on the pictures actually drawn by the learner. ), and criteria according to the learner's characteristics (for example, the learner drew a picture of something that he was not interested in in the past, or the learner could draw better than the picture he had drawn in the past). It is possible to evaluate the learning done by the learner based on the original criteria according to the learner.

The comment column 441f is arranged below the list image 441 and is an area for the learning manager to write comments and the like.

5A is an explanatory diagram of an example of learning content information stored in the terminal device according to Embodiment 1. FIG. Terminal device 120 stores, for example, study content information 510 shown in FIG. 5A. For example, study content information 510 is stored in storage unit 302 shown in FIG. Also, the study content information 510 is updated each time the terminal device 120 receives study content distributed from the server 110 .

The learning content information 510 includes, for each learning content identifier (“A”, “B”, “C”, . It indicates whether or not screen change data storage is required and whether or not voice storage is required. The learning content identifier is an identifier uniquely assigned to each learning content. The learning type of the learning content indicates to which type the learning content belongs, such as character practice, pronunciation practice, and multiple-choice questions.

The screenshot acquisition timing indicates at what timing the screenshot is acquired during the reproduction of the study content. For example, the screenshot acquisition timing may be represented by the elapsed time from the start of learning content playback, or may be represented by an event that occurs during playback of learning content (for example, display of evaluation results).

In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the acquisition timing of each screen shot is the evaluation display time. The evaluation display time is the timing to display the evaluation results when the learning content requests input from the learner and displays the evaluation results for the input from the learner. However, the acquisition timing of the screenshot can be arbitrarily set according to the study content, not limited to when the evaluation is displayed. The acquisition timing of the screenshot may be the timing when the learner's input is completed or the timing when the learner's input is being accepted in the learning content. Also, if one study content has a plurality of these timings, for example, the last timing among the plurality of timings may be used as the screenshot acquisition timing. As a result, it is possible to obtain screenshots that best reflect the results of learning.

The clipping range of screenshots indicates which range of screenshots is to be used as a list image block when generating a list display of screen shots on the same day. For example, for learning content that displays a handwritten character input field 412 that accepts handwritten input, such as "writing hiragana", the handwritten character input field 412 and the surroundings of the handwritten character input field 412 are used as the clipping range of the screenshot. . As a result, the list image 441 can include blocks centered on learning results (handwriting), such as the block 441a shown in FIG. 4D.

Moreover, clipping by the clipping range of the screenshot may be performed when the screenshot is acquired. For example, when the screenshot 430 is acquired, the screenshot 430 may be stored in the storage unit 302 while being clipped by the corresponding clipping range. In this case, when the list image 441 is generated, an image in which the screen shots 430 and the like stored in the storage unit 302 are arranged as they are may be generated.

The necessity of screen change data storage is whether or not it is necessary to store screen change data (for example, the above-mentioned stroke data or moving image data) that can reproduce changes in the screen displayed on touch screen 224 during playback of the learning content. indicate. In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the learning content information 510 shows changes in the screen during playback of the learning content with the identifier "A" whose learning type is character practice (for example, while the learner is inputting handwritten characters). indicates that it is necessary to store reproducible screen change data. Also, in the example shown in FIG. 5A, the learning content information 510 includes, for each learning content with identifiers "B" and "C" whose learning types are voice practice and multiple-choice questions, changes in the screen during playback of the learning content. is not required to store reproducible screen change data.

The necessity of voice storage indicates whether or not the voice detected by the microphone 225 during playback of the study content needs to be stored. In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the learning content information 510 indicates that it is necessary to memorize the voice during playback of the learning content (for example, while the learner is speaking) for the learning content with the identifier “B” whose learning type is voice practice. is shown. Also, in the example shown in FIG. 5A, the learning content information 510 includes information about the recording of voices during playback of each learning content with identifiers "A" and "C" whose learning types are character practice and multiple-choice questions. is not required.

The acquisition timing of screenshots, the clipping range of screenshots, the necessity of screen change data storage, and the necessity of audio storage are each predetermined for each learning content by, for example, the creator of the learning content, and distributed to the learning content. Data may be included as information. In addition, the acquisition timing of screenshots, the clipping range of screenshots, the necessity of screen change data storage, and the necessity of audio storage can each be arbitrarily set by the learning administrator, for example, through the setting screen of the terminal device 120. There may be.

Next, the terminal device 120 determines whether or not the learning time on the day is equal to or longer than a predetermined time (step S602). The current day is, for example, the day when step S602 was executed. The learning time is the time spent by the learner using the terminal device 120 for learning, for example, the total activation time of the learning application provided by the terminal device 120 . However, the learning time is not limited to this, and may be, for example, the total playback time of learning content. The predetermined time is, for example, an upper limit of learning time (for example, 15 minutes) appropriate for a learner such as a preschool child. The learning time may be a preset fixed value, or may be a value set by directly or indirectly operating the terminal device 120 by the learning manager or the like.

In step S602, if the learning time is not equal to or longer than the predetermined time (step S602: No), the terminal device 120 determines the learning content to be reproduced (step S603). The determination of the learning content in step S603 may be performed, for example, by receiving a selection instruction from the learner or the learning manager through the touch screen 224 or the like, or by using the play history of each learning content (for example, the learning content shown in FIG. 5B). The selection may be made by the terminal device 120 based on the reproduction history information 520).

The terminal device 120 then reproduces the study content determined in step S603 (step S604). In step S604, the terminal device 120 identifies the acquisition timing of the screenshot of the learning content being reproduced by referring to the learning content information 510 shown in FIG. 5A, and displays the learning screen 410 on the touch screen 224 at the identified acquisition timing. is generated and stored in the storage unit 302 .

Further, in step S604, the terminal device 120 determines whether it is necessary to store the screen change data and voice of the learning content being reproduced by referring to the learning content information 510 shown in FIG. 5A. Then, when the terminal device 120 determines that it is necessary to store the screen change data of the learning content being reproduced, the terminal device 120 stores the change of the learning screen 410 displayed on the touch screen 224 during the reproduction of the learning content as reproducible screen change data. (for example, the stroke data or moving image data described above), and the generated screen change data is stored in the storage unit 302 . Further, when the terminal device 120 determines that it is necessary to store the voice of the learning content being played, the terminal device 120 records the voice detected by the microphone 225 during the playing of the learning content, and stores the recorded voice in the storage unit 302. .

Next, the terminal device 120 updates the learning content reproduction history information 520 shown in FIG. 5B based on the learning content reproduction result in step S604 (step S605), and returns to step S601. In step S605, for example, the terminal device 120 associates the playback date of the learning content in step S604, the identifier of the learning content played back in step S604, and the storage destination of the screenshot in step S604, and creates a learning content playback history. Register in information 520 .

In addition, when terminal device 120 stores the screen change data of the learning content in storage unit 302 in step S604, the storage destination of the screen change data in storage unit 302 is set to the above-described reproduction date of the learning content, It is registered in the learning content reproduction history information 520 in association with the identifier and the storage destination of the screenshot.

Further, when the terminal device 120 stores the voice recorded during the playback of the learning content in the storage unit 302 in step S604, the storage destination of the voice in the storage unit 302 is set to the date of playback of the learning content described above, the learning content is registered in the learning content reproduction history information 520 in association with the identifier of the screen shot and the storage destination of the screenshot.

In step S602, if the learning time is equal to or longer than the predetermined time (step S602: Yes), the terminal device 120 displays a list image 441 collectively displaying screen shots stored for each learning content played on the day in step S604. Generate (step S606). Note that the order of step S606 and steps S607 and S608 may be changed.

Next, the terminal device 120 uses the output unit 304 to output a message for prompting the learning manager to perform a display operation for displaying the screen 440 created today (step S607). This display operation is, for example, an operation of touching an icon (for example, today's button) for displaying today's screen 440 among the icons arranged on the home screen displayed on touch screen 224 .

The message output in step S607 can be, for example, a message such as "Let's call mom and dad" to prompt the learner to call the learning manager. Alternatively, the message output in step S607 may be a message such as "Let's take the terminal device 120 to the learning administrator," prompting the learner to take the terminal device 120 to the site of the learning administrator. Alternatively, the message output in step S607 may be a message such as "Let's show it to your mother and father." Also, the message output in step S607 may be output by voice from the speaker 226 or may be displayed on the touch screen 224 .

Next, the terminal device 120 determines whether or not a display operation for displaying the today's screen 440 has been received (step S608), and waits until a display operation for displaying the today's screen 440 is received ( Step S608: No loop). When receiving the display operation for displaying the today's screen 440 (step S608: Yes), the terminal device 120 displays the today's screen 440 including the list image 441 generated in step S606 on the touch screen 224 ( step S609).

Next, the terminal device 120 determines whether or not a selection operation for selecting any block in the list image 441 of the today's completed screen 440 displayed in step S609 has been received (step S610), and performs the selection operation. It waits until it is accepted (step S610: No loop). This selection operation is, for example, an operation of touching a block to be selected included in list image 441 displayed on touch screen 224 .

In step S610, when a selection operation is accepted (step S610: Yes), the terminal device 120 displays a screen shot corresponding to the block selected by the accepted selection operation (step S611). For example, when block 441a shown in FIG. 4D is selected, terminal device 120 displays screenshot 430 (see FIG. 4C) on which block 441a is based on touch screen 224 (see FIG. 4E). .

Next, the terminal device 120 determines whether or not an end operation for ending the display of the screen shot displayed in step S611 has been received (step S612). This end operation is, for example, an operation of touching the back button 414 shown in FIG. 4E. If the termination operation has not been received (step S612: No), the terminal device 120 displays screen change data (screen change or sound indicated by the screen change data) stored for the learning content corresponding to the displayed screenshot. It is determined whether or not a reproduction operation for reproduction has been received (step S613). This playback operation is, for example, an operation of touching the playback button 452 shown in FIG. 4E.

In step S613, if the reproduction operation has not been received (step S613: No), the terminal device 120 returns to step S612. If the reproduction operation has been accepted (step S613: Yes), the terminal device 120 reproduces the screen change data or the like whose reproduction is instructed by the received reproduction operation (step S614), and returns to step S612.

For example, when terminal device 120 receives a playback operation instructing playback of screen change data indicated by screen change data, in step S614, terminal device 120 refers to learning content playback history information 520 to determine the storage destination of that screen change data. The screen change data is acquired from the specified storage destination, and the screen change based on the acquired screen change data is reproduced on the touch screen 224 . In addition, when the screen change data is the moving image described above and the moving image includes audio, the terminal device 120 reproduces the video of the moving image through the touch screen 224 and reproduces the audio of the moving image through the speaker 226 . Further, when the terminal device 120 receives a reproduction operation instructing reproduction of audio, in step S614, the terminal device 120 refers to the learning content reproduction history information 520 to specify the storage location of the audio, and reproduces the audio from the specified storage location. is acquired, and the acquired voice is reproduced by the speaker 226 .

In step S612, if an end operation has been received (step S612: Yes), the terminal device 120 displays screen shots corresponding to all blocks in the list image 441 of the today's screen 440 displayed in step S609 in step S611. It is determined whether or not it has been displayed (step S615).

In step S615, if screen shots corresponding to all blocks have not been displayed (step S615: No), the terminal device 120 returns to step S609. If screen shots corresponding to all blocks have been displayed (step S615: Yes), the terminal device 120 displays the edit screen 460 shown in FIG. 4F on the touch screen 224 (step S616).

Next, the terminal device 120 determines whether or not an end operation for ending the display of the editing screen 460 displayed in step S616 has been received (step S617). This end operation is, for example, an operation of touching the back button 414 shown in FIG. 4F. If the termination operation has not been received (step S617: No), the terminal device 120 determines whether or not an editing operation for editing the list image 441 has been received (step S618). This editing operation is, for example, an operation related to the stamp tool panel 461 and drawing tool panel 462 shown in FIG. 4F.

In step S618, if no editing operation has been received (step S618: No), the terminal device 120 returns to step S617. If the editing operation has been accepted (step S618: Yes), the terminal device 120 reflects the editing content according to the accepted editing operation on the list image 441 of the editing screen 460 (step S619), and returns to step S617.

In step S617, when the end operation is received (step S617: Yes), the terminal device 120 associates the list image 441 of the editing screen 460 being displayed with the current day and stores it in the storage unit 302 ( Step S620), the series of processing ends.

As described above, according to the learning support program according to the first embodiment, part of the content displayed on the display device while the learning content is being reproduced is associated with the learning content for learners such as preschoolers. Alternatively, it is possible to store the screen shots that capture all of them as images, and generate and output a list image that collectively displays the screen shots corresponding to each of the plurality of played learning contents.

As a result, the learning manager can collectively check the screens that were displayed when the learners were learning with each learning content. For this reason, while the learner is performing each learning with multiple learning contents, the learning manager can monitor the overall results when the learner performs each learning with multiple learning contents, even if he/she does not continue monitoring. can be easily grasped. In addition, even if the learning content that the learner has studied includes, for example, learning content that is difficult to grasp the results from the grading results (handwriting practice, etc.) or learning content that is difficult to grade itself (drawing learning, etc.) Since the administrator can check the screen that was displayed when the learner was studying with each learning content, it is possible to easily grasp the results (handwriting, drawing, etc.) when the learner has studied. can be done.

Therefore, a learning manager such as a guardian can efficiently grasp the results of learning performed by a learner such as a preschooler. By grasping the results of learning by the learning manager, the learning manager can realize the growth of the learner and easily incorporate learning-related topics into communication with the learner.

Further, according to the learning support program according to the first embodiment, the time stamp indicating the time when the screenshot was captured is stored, and among the screenshots corresponding to each of the played learning contents, the captured time is specified. It is possible to generate a list image that collectively displays screenshots within the range of . As a result, the learning manager can collectively grasp the results of each learning content that the learners have continuously performed. For this reason, the learning manager can recognize the range of learning that the learner has continued without referring to the learning history, etc. can be done efficiently.

For example, the predetermined range is the range of dates for outputting the list image. As a result, the learning manager can collectively grasp the results of each learning content studied by the learner on the day when the list image is output. For this reason, the learning manager can recognize the range of learning that the learner has done on the day without referring to the learning history, etc. etc.) can be done efficiently. In addition, since the learner can easily recognize that the communication is about the learning performed on that day, the communication between the learner and the learning manager can be facilitated.

Further, according to the learning support program according to the first embodiment, the timing of taking a screenshot during the period during which the learning content is being played is stored for each learning content, and the content displayed on the display device at that timing is displayed. Screenshots captured partially or entirely as images can be stored. As a result, by storing the timing at which a screen shot showing the results of learning is easy to understand is obtained for each learning content, it is possible to obtain a list image showing the results of learning easy to understand according to the content of each learning content. For example, if the played learning content accepts handwritten input, such as "writing hiragana", by setting the timing of accepting the handwritten input as the timing of capturing the screenshot, it is possible to improve the results of learning. It is possible to generate a list image including an image reflecting a certain handwriting that makes it easy to understand the result of learning.

Further, according to the learning support program according to the first embodiment, a screenshot clipping range is stored for each learning content, and screenshots corresponding to each of a plurality of already-played learning contents are displayed for each learning content. It is possible to generate a list image in which the images cut out in the cutout range are arranged. As a result, by storing a clipping range for each learning content from which an image of the learning result can be easily understood, a list image of the learning result can be easily understood according to the content of each learning content. For example, in the case where the reproduced learning content displays a handwritten character input field 412 that accepts handwritten input such as "write hiragana", the handwritten character input field 412 and the surroundings of the handwritten character input field 412 are displayed. By using the cut-out range of the screenshot, it is possible to generate a list image including an image that makes it easy to understand the learning result, centering on the handwritten character input field 412 in which the learning result is reflected.

In addition, by obtaining a list of images that clearly show the results of learning, it is possible to generate a screen (for example, the day selection screen 480) on which the list of images are arranged by day so that the learning results of each day can be easily viewed. can be done. This enables learning administrators to easily grasp chronological changes in learning outcomes, realize the growth of learners, and easily incorporate topics related to learning into communication with learners. .

Also, this list image may be uploaded to a Web server such as SNS (Social Networking Service). As a result, it is possible to publish a good-looking image on the Web by visually displaying a list of a plurality of learning results.

Further, according to the learning support program according to the first embodiment, screen change data capable of reproducing a part or all of the content displayed on the display device during reproduction of the learning content is associated with the learning content. When an instruction to output screen change data relating to one of the screen shots collectively displayed in the output list image is received, the screen change data is associated with the learning content corresponding to the screen shot. can output screen change data. As a result, the learning manager allows the learner to perform each study using a plurality of learning contents based on changes in the contents displayed on the display device during playback of the learning contents played back based on the screen change data. After easily grasping the overall results of the training, it is possible to grasp the learner's learning process (for example, the state of handwriting) in each learning content. For this reason, learning administrators can sense learners' efforts and easily incorporate topics related to the learning process into their communication with learners (e.g., ``zu'' was written more slowly than other parts). Therefore, you can ask whether it was difficult for the learner, etc.).

Further, according to the learning support program according to the first embodiment, the sound acquired by the microphone during the reproduction of the learning content is stored in association with the learning content, and the screen displayed collectively in the output list image When receiving an instruction to output audio relating to one of the screenshots, it is possible to output audio associated with the learning content corresponding to that screenshot. As a result, learning administrators can easily grasp the overall results of learning by learners using multiple learning contents, and then follow the learner's learning process (for example, speaking English) in each learning contents. can grasp. This allows learning administrators to feel the learning effort of learners and to easily incorporate topics related to the learning process into communication with learners (e.g. praise for pronouncing "strawberry" well). can do.

Further, according to the learning support program according to the first embodiment, the generated list image can be displayed by the display device that displays the learning content. As a result, the learner who has studied with the learning contents reproduced by the display device shows the display device to the learning manager, so that the learner and the learning manager can confirm the list image together.

However, the generated list image may be displayed on a display device (for example, a display device of a terminal device owned by the learning manager) different from the display device that displays the learning content. For example, a list image generated in terminal device 120 may be transmitted to terminal device 150 via network 140 and displayed on the display of terminal device 150 .

(Embodiment 2)
Regarding the second embodiment, the parts different from the first embodiment will be described. In Embodiment 1, the configuration for efficiently confirming the results of learning using learning content has been described. In Embodiment 2, a configuration regarding the order of questions in learning content for practicing letters will be described.

For example, conventionally, an answer to a question given to a user through a terminal device is received by handwriting input by the user, pattern recognition is performed on the answer received by handwriting input, and the pattern-recognized answer and the pre-stored correct answer are compared. Based on this, there has been a learning system that displays the result of correct/incorrect judgment (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-241736). Also, there is a learning system in which problems for practicing letters are given in a predetermined order, such as "a" problem, "i" problem, and so on.

However, in a learning system in which questions for each character are given in a predetermined order, although it is possible to learn characters in a rational order set in advance, a learner who starts learning later, for example, learns faster. There is a problem that it becomes difficult to catch up with learners who have started learning in terms of progress, and differences in progress tend to occur between learners.

On the other hand, for example, a learning system is conceivable in which a different letter is asked for each month throughout the year. There is a problem that it is not possible to learn characters in a rational order. A rational order is, for example, a systematic order such as the Japanese syllabary order.

For example, a learner who started learning in June with a learning system that questions ``AIUEO'' in April, ``Kakikukeko'' in May, and ``Sashisuseso'' in June learns ``Sashisuseso'' first. "Aiueo" and "Kakikukeko" are learned in an irrational order that they have never learned.

In order to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, the present invention prevents the difference in progress between learners from becoming large, and enables learners to read characters in a rational order regardless of when they started learning. It is an object of the present invention to provide a learning support program, a learning support device, and a learning support method that enable the learning of

(Practice order information stored by the terminal device according to the second embodiment)
7A is a diagram depicting an example of practice order information stored by a terminal device according to Embodiment 2; FIG. The terminal device 120 according to the second embodiment stores practice order information 710 shown in FIG. 7A, for example. Practice order information 710 is stored, for example, in storage unit 302 shown in FIG. Further, the practice order information 710 is, for example, determined in advance by the creator of the learning content for character practice, and is included as information in the delivery data of the learning content for character practice.

The practice order information 710 is information indicating the order in which to practice hiragana Japanese syllabary for Stage 1 according to the degree of difficulty. As shown in FIG. 7A, practice order information 710 is information that associates question numbers, letters, examples, review letters, and release months. The question number of the practice order information 710 is identification information that identifies the question to be asked, and order information that indicates the order in which the questions are presented. Each question is, for example, a question for practicing one or more letters. The question is, for example, the reproduction of learning content such as "writing hiragana" as described above. Alternatively, the questions may be set by notifying the learner of the question to be asked as a question candidate, and setting the question when the learner selects the question candidate.

The characters of the practice order information 710 are one or more characters to be learned by the question indicated by the question number. An example of practice order information 710 is an example of use of characters in practice order information 710 . The review characters of the practice order information 710 are the number of characters to be reviewed together with the character of the question indicated by the question number. The release month of the practice order information 710 is the month in which the question indicated by the question number is released. Releasing a question to a question is a state in which the question is not asked to the learner because the current point has not reached the release month, but the current point has reached the release month and other conditions (conditions related to question order and question history) ) is satisfied, the learner will be given a question. Questions indicated by question numbers are released at 0:00 on the first day of the release month, for example.

In this way, by preventing the question from being asked until the current point in time reaches the release month of the question, it is possible to control the progress of the learner's learning. By controlling the learning progress of learners, it is possible to prevent, for example, large discrepancies in progress between learners, or hindrance of learners' memory consolidation due to excessively fast pace of learning. can do.

For example, a question indicated by question number "1" is a question for practicing five numbers "1" to "5". Also, the question indicated by question number "2" is a question to be given next to the question indicated by question number "1", and is a question for practicing the five numbers "6" to "10". . Also, the question indicated by question number "3" is the next question after the question indicated by question number "2", and is used to practice the three hiragana characters "ku", "he", and "shi". is the problem. Since the release month corresponding to these questions is April, questions for these questions will be released at midnight on April 1st.

However, even if questions are open to questions, they will not be asked without skipping the order of the question number. For example, questions with question numbers "1" to "9" are open for questions in April, but each question will not be asked unless all questions with question numbers smaller than itself have been asked. For example, in April, if each question from question number "1" to "4" has been asked and each question after question number "5" has not been asked, the next question will be question number " 5” problem.

In the practice order information 710 shown in FIG. 7A, the first questions such as question numbers "1" and "2" are numerical questions necessary for the learner to understand the order of the questions. The questions after question number "3" are arranged so that simpler characters such as "ku", "he", and "shi" are given earlier. As a result, the learner can practice simple characters first, and gradually practice difficult characters as he or she becomes accustomed to practicing the characters. Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent the learner from becoming bored by practicing difficult characters from the initial stage. In addition, since the number of characters that the learner can read and write increases at a rapid pace from the initial stage, the learner's motivation to learn can be improved.

However, the order of the questions in the practice order information 710 is not limited to the order in which the simpler character is presented first, and may be various orders rational for learning. For example, the order of questions in the practice order information 710 may be an order in which characters with a higher frequency of use are earlier, an order in which similar or strongly related characters are consecutive, or an order of the Japanese syllabary.

(Question History Information Stored by Terminal Device According to Second Embodiment)
7B is a diagram showing an example of questioning history information stored in the terminal device according to the second embodiment. FIG. The terminal device 120 according to the second embodiment stores, for example, questioning history information 720 shown in FIG. 7B. Questioning history information 720 is stored, for example, in storage unit 302 shown in FIG. Also, the question-setting history information 720 is updated each time a question is given to the learner by the terminal device 120 .

As shown in FIG. 7B, the questioning history information 720 is information that associates question numbers, questioning history, and evaluation values. The question number of the question history information 720 corresponds to the question number of the practice order information 710 described above. The questioning history of the questioning history information 720 indicates whether or not the question indicated by the question number has been given to the learner.

The evaluation value of the question history information 720 indicates the evaluation of the learner's answer to the question indicated by the question number when the question has already been asked to the learner. For example, the terminal device 120 receives a learner's answer to a question given to the learner, and determines pass/fail for the received answer. For example, when the learner's answer is the above-described handwritten character, the terminal device 120 calculates the degree of matching between the handwritten character input by the learner and the model, and passes if the calculated degree of matching is equal to or greater than the threshold. If the calculated degree of matching is less than the threshold value, it is judged to be unsatisfactory.

Then, the terminal device 120 determines the pass/fail for each character included in the question, and registers the number of passing characters with respect to the number of characters included in the question in the question history information 720 as an evaluation value. For example, the question numbered "1" is a practice question of five numbers "1" to "5" (see FIG. 7A), and all the numbers "1" to "5" are judged to have passed. In this case, the terminal device 120 registers the information (○, ○, ○, ○, ○) indicating that all five characters have been passed in the question history information 720 in association with the question number “1”. do.

In addition, the problem of problem number "4" is a practice problem of two hiragana characters "tsu" and "chi" (see FIG. 7A). Suppose it is judged to be unsatisfactory. In this case, the terminal device 120 associates the information (○, ×) indicating that the first character is passed and the second character is failed with the question number “4”, Register with 720. It should be noted that questions whose question history indicates that they have not yet been asked have not been asked, so the evaluation value corresponding to that question is "-".

In the example shown in FIG. 7B, questions with question numbers "1" to "10" have already been asked, and questions after question number "11" have not yet been asked. Assuming that the current time is May, the question number "11", which has the lowest question number among the questions that have not yet been asked, has already been released (see FIG. 7A), so the next question to be asked is the question It is the problem of number "11".

7C is a diagram depicting another example of questioning history information stored in the terminal device according to the second embodiment; FIG. The terminal device 120 according to the second embodiment stores, for example, question-setting history information 720 shown in FIG. 7C. In the example shown in FIG. 7C, questions with question numbers "1" to "16" have already been asked, and questions after question number "17" have not yet been asked. Assuming that the current time is May, the question number "17", which has the lowest question number among the questions that have not yet been asked, has not been released yet (see FIG. 7A). Instead of question "17", questions are selected from question numbers "1" to "16" that have already been set.

For example, since the terminal device 120 associates three letters as review characters with question number "16", which has the largest question number among the questions that have already been asked (see FIG. 7A), Select three failed characters from the characters included in question numbers "1" to "16". Then, the terminal device 120 gives the learner questions for reviewing the selected three characters.

Although an example has been described in which two grades of evaluation values, pass or fail, are registered as evaluation values relating to answers to questions in the questioning history information 720 shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, three or more levels of evaluation values may be registered in the questioning history information 720 as evaluation values regarding answers to questions. An evaluation value of three or more stages can be realized by using, for example, the above-described degree of matching as an evaluation value, or using the number of times of passing the same question as an evaluation value.

For example, when terminal device 120 is used by a plurality of learners, questioning history information 720 shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C may be stored for each learner. In this case, updating or referencing the questioning history information 720 is performed on the questioning history information 720 corresponding to the learner involved in the update or reference.

(Functional configuration of the terminal device according to the second embodiment)
A functional configuration of the terminal device 120 according to the second embodiment is similar to the functional configuration of the terminal device 120 shown in FIG. 3, for example. In this case, the storage unit 302 of the terminal device 120 stores information (for example, question-answering history information 720) specifying questions that have not been given to the learner among the questions included in the practice order information 710. FIG. The storage unit 302 also stores information (for example, practice order information 710) that specifies the correspondence between questions and release points of the questions. In addition, the storage unit 302 stores information (for example, the questioning history information 720) that specifies the evaluation value of the learner's answer to the question given to the learner. However, each of these pieces of information may be stored not only in the storage unit 302 but also in different storage units included in the terminal device 120 .

Alternatively, at least part of each of these pieces of information may be stored in the storage unit of server 110, for example. In this case, the terminal device 120 refers to the information stored in the storage unit of the server 110 by communicating with the server 110 .

The control unit 303 of the terminal device 120 sets the order of questions to the first among the questions that are included in a plurality of questions for which the order of questions is set, that have not been given to the learner, and that have passed the release time. Search for issues. Searching for this problem is described below (see FIGS. 8A and 8B).

The output unit 304 of the terminal device 120 outputs information identifying the detected problem when the search target problem is detected by the search by the control unit 303 . Outputting information specifying a question may be, for example, reproducing learning content corresponding to the question, or displaying the question as a learning candidate on a home screen or the like. When the output unit 304 displays a question as a learning candidate on the home screen or the like, when the learner or the learning manager performs an operation to select the question, the output unit 304 reproduces the learning content corresponding to the question.

(Processing by the terminal device according to the second embodiment)
8A is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing by a terminal device according to Embodiment 2; FIG. The terminal device 120 according to the second embodiment executes the processing shown in FIG. 8A, for example. The processing shown in FIG. 8A is executed, for example, under the control of control unit 303 shown in FIG.

First, the terminal device 120 identifies the smallest question number among questions that have not yet been given to the learner by referring to the questioning history information 720 shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C (step S811). This makes it possible to identify the first question among the questions that are included in the practice order information 710 and have not been given to the learner. For example, problem number "11" is identified in the example shown in FIG. 7B. In the example shown in FIG. 7C, problem number "17" is identified.

Next, the terminal device 120 identifies the release month corresponding to the question number identified in step S811 by referring to the practice order information 710 shown in FIG. 7A (step S812). For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7B, May is identified as the release month. In the example shown in FIG. 7C, June is identified as the release month.

Next, the terminal device 120 determines whether the current month is after the release month specified in step S812 (step S813). As a result, it is possible to determine whether or not the problem release time for the problem number specified in step S811 has passed. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7B, if the present is April, it is determined that the current month is not after the release month, and if the present is after May, it is determined that the current month is after the release month. . In the example shown in FIG. 7C, if the current month is April or May, it is determined that the current month is not after the release month, and if the current is after June, it is determined that the current month is after the release month. be.

In step S813, if the current month is after the release month (step S813: Yes), the terminal device 120 presents the question of the question number specified in step S811 to the learner (step S814). In the example shown in FIG. 7B, the question of hiragana "ro" and "ru" corresponding to the question number "11" is given. In the example shown in FIG. 7C, the question of hiragana "ya" and "ka" corresponding to the question number "17" is presented.

Next, the terminal device 120 updates, in the questioning history information 720, the questioning history corresponding to the question set in step S814 to already set (step S815). In the example shown in FIG. 7B, the question history corresponding to question number "11" is updated to indicate that the question has already been asked. In the example shown in FIG. 7C, the question history corresponding to question number "17" is updated to indicate that the question has already been asked.

Next, the terminal device 120 calculates an evaluation value for the answer to the given question (step S816). Next, in the questioning history information 720, the terminal device 120 registers the evaluation value calculated in step S816 in association with the question given (step S817), and ends the series of processes.

In step S813, if the current month is not after the release month (step S813: No), the terminal device 120 refers to the question history information 720, and selects a question based on the evaluation value from the already asked questions. (step S818). In the example shown in FIG. 7B, for example, based on the evaluation value that the second hiragana character "chi" of question number "4" fails, a question of a plurality of characters including the hiragana character "chi" is presented. In the example shown in FIG. 7C, for example, based on the evaluation value that the second hiragana "chi" of question number "4" and the first hiragana "ri" of question number "5" failed, the hiragana " Multiple character problems including "chi" and "ri" will be presented. After step S818, the terminal device 120 proceeds to step S816.

The question presentation in steps S814 and S818 may be, for example, a process of immediately asking the question, or notifying the learner of the question as a question candidate, and allowing the learner to select the question candidate before the question is presented. may be a process of setting a question.

By the processing shown in FIG. 8A, among the questions that are included in a plurality of questions for which the order of questions has been set and that have not been given to the learner and whose release time has passed at the present time, the question with the first order of questions is retrieved. and output the problem, if any. In addition, if there is no question that has not been given to the learner and has passed the release time, the question selected based on the evaluation value from the questions given to the learner can be output. In addition, if there is a question that has not been given to the learner and the release time has passed, the question can be changed to a question that has been given.

8B is a flowchart illustrating another example of processing by the terminal device according to the second embodiment; FIG. The terminal device 120 according to the second embodiment may execute the processing shown in FIG. 8B, for example. The processing shown in FIG. 8B is executed, for example, under the control of control unit 303 shown in FIG.

First, the terminal device 120 refers to the practice order information 710 and the question history information 720 to extract the question numbers of the questions that have not yet been asked in the current month or later (step S821). The terminal device 120 then determines whether or not the question number has been extracted in step S821 (step S822).

In step S822, if the question number is extracted (step S822: Yes), the terminal device 120 extracts the smallest question number among the question numbers extracted in step S821 (step S823), and proceeds to step S824. Transition. If no question number is extracted (step S822: No), the terminal device 120 proceeds to step S828. Steps S824-S828 shown in FIG. 8B are similar to steps S814-S818 shown in FIG. 8A.

By the processing shown in FIG. 8B, learning questions can be given in the same way as the processing shown in FIG. 8A, for example. The processing shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B can be incorporated into steps S603 and S604 of the processing shown in FIG. 6, for example. For example, by executing the processing shown in FIG. 8A or 8B in step S603 shown in FIG. output information to be used).

8A and 8B, for example, in steps S814, S818, S824, and S828 of FIGS. It may be displayed on the learning screen 490 (output information specifying the question to be set). Further, for example, when a question that has not yet been asked is to be asked in steps S814 and S824, the question is displayed as a question candidate on one of the recommended content icons 491a to 491c on the today's learning screen 490, and the questions that have already been asked are displayed in steps S818 and S828. When a question is set, the question to be set may not be displayed on the today's learning screen 490, but may be displayed only on the home screen, for example.

Further, the processing by the terminal device 120 is not limited to the processing shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, and may be various processing capable of setting learning questions in the same manner as the processing shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B. can.

As a result, by asking the questions in the set order, the learner can study in a rational order regardless of when the learner started studying. In addition, by not asking questions for which the current time has not passed the release time, it is possible to control the learning progress of learners who start learning early or who have high motivation and ability. Therefore, for example, it is possible to suppress a large difference in progress between learners. Therefore, it is possible to learn characters in a rational order regardless of when the learners started learning, while suppressing the difference in progress between learners from becoming large.
