Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2-64871

By the way, although it is not described in Patent Document 1, a technology that supports the creation of simple presentation materials by limiting the amount of information in the presentation materials is applied to educational situations such as school education and corporate training. It is possible that In this case, the content of restrictions related to the creation of presentation materials (items to be restricted, extent of restrictions, processing details for restrictions, etc.) should be determined based on the target achievement level and learners (students, students, etc.) in order to increase the effectiveness of education. It is desirable to set the settings according to the level of the students (students, etc.); however, if the learners include those who are not familiar with computer operations, such as when the learners are lower grade elementary school students, It is not easy to have a person set restrictions on the computer he or she uses. Therefore, it is conceivable that administrators (teachers, instructors, etc.) set restrictions for each computer used by learners, but even for the same learner, there may be restrictions depending on the level of proficiency. Appropriate restrictions change, and if one computer is shared by multiple people, it is necessary to change the restrictions depending on the learner at the time, so setting the restrictions only needs to be done once. This does not mean that you only need to do it. Therefore, it is not realistic for an administrator to set restrictions for each computer used by learners.

Therefore, it is desired to realize a technology that can relatively easily set restrictions related to the creation of presentation materials on each computer operated by a user who is a target of presentation material creation support.

A presentation material creation support system according to the present disclosure is a presentation material creation support system that supports creation of presentation materials at each of a plurality of user terminals operated by a user, and the plurality of user terminals are Each of the user terminals is communicably connected to a management terminal operated by a person, and each of the user terminals includes an input device that receives operations from the user, a computing device that generates material data representing the presentation materials, and a processing device that generates material data that is generated by the computing device. a display device that displays the material data that has been input, and the arithmetic device includes a material generation unit that generates the material data according to the user's operation content on the input device, and one or more predetermined check items. For each of the above, there is a restriction determination unit that determines whether or not the material data satisfies a prescribed restriction condition, and a restriction determination unit that determines whether or not the material data satisfies a prescribed restriction condition; a restriction processing unit that executes restriction processing specified for the target check item, the restriction condition being a condition for restricting the amount of information of the presentation material, and the restriction processing being a condition for restricting the amount of information of the presentation material. It is a process that suppresses an increase in the amount of information or promotes a reduction in the amount of information of the presentation materials, and the content of at least one of the check items, the limit conditions, and the limit process in each of the plurality of user terminals. Certain restriction contents are configured to be settable on the management terminal.

In this configuration, it is determined whether or not the material data generated according to the user's operation content satisfies the restriction condition that limits the amount of information in the presentation material, and if there is a check item that does not satisfy the restriction condition, , a restriction process is executed to suppress an increase in the amount of information in the presentation material or to encourage a reduction in the amount of information. Therefore, it is possible to support the user who creates presentation materials in creating simple presentation materials in which the amount of information is limited and the content to be conveyed is easily made clear.

In the above configuration, a plurality of user terminals operated by a user are communicably connected to a management terminal operated by an administrator, and restrictions on each of the plurality of user terminals are configured to be settable on the management terminal. ing. Therefore, the administrator does not need to set restrictions for each user terminal, and can set restrictions for each of a plurality of user terminals by operating the management terminal. As a result, it is possible to relatively easily set restrictions on each user terminal.

Here, the device further includes a server capable of communicating with each of the plurality of user terminals and the management terminal, information on the restriction content set in the management terminal is stored in the server, and each of the user terminals It is preferable that the restriction contents are set for each user terminal based on information on the restriction contents obtained from the server.

According to this configuration, by storing information on the restriction contents set on the management terminal in the server, it is possible to set the restriction contents on each user terminal. The load on the management terminal can be reduced compared to the case where the management terminal distributes information directly to each user terminal. Furthermore, according to the above configuration, if a system is constructed so that multiple administrators can refer to the information on the restriction contents stored in the server, the administrator who wants to set the restriction contents can be referred to by other administrators. You can refer to the set restrictions. As a result, for example, by referring to the restriction contents that were set by other administrators and achieved a high educational effect, it becomes easier to set more appropriate restriction contents.

Further, the restriction content defines a plurality of restriction levels in which at least one of the degree of restriction and the method of restriction on the amount of information of the presentation material differs, and the restriction level of the restriction content in each of the user terminals is defined. Preferably, the level is configured to be set according to the attributes of the user operating each user terminal.

According to this configuration, the restriction level for each user terminal is automatically set according to the attribute of the user operating each user terminal, without the user or administrator performing an operation to select the restriction level. Therefore, compared to the case where the user or administrator selects the restriction level, the burden on the user or administrator can be reduced, and the possibility that a restriction level inappropriate for the user will be set by mistake is reduced. It can also be suppressed.

In addition, the restriction content defines a plurality of restriction levels in which the degree of restriction on the amount of information in the presentation material increases as the restriction level increases, and the user's proficiency at each of the user terminals is The level is set according to the attributes of the user who operates each user terminal or according to the settings on each user terminal, and the restriction level of the restriction content in each of the user terminals is set according to the attribute of the user who operates each user terminal, It is preferable that the higher the proficiency level of the user is, the higher the proficiency level is.

According to this configuration, compared to a case where the restriction level for each user terminal is set without considering the proficiency level of the user who operates each user terminal, it is possible to create presentation materials with a limited amount of information. It becomes easier to set the restriction level for each user terminal so that the effect of cultivating power is effectively expressed to each user.

Further, the restriction process includes a notification process of displaying on the display device a notification image with content that suppresses an increase in the amount of information in the presentation material or encourages a reduction in the amount of information in the presentation material, It is preferable that the content of the notification image in each user terminal differs depending on the attribute of the user operating each user terminal.

According to this configuration, taking into account that the ability to understand language and the ability to solve problems tends to differ depending on the user's attributes, the effect of cultivating the ability to create presentation materials with a limited amount of information is The content of the notification image on each user terminal can be set so that it appears effectively to each user.

Further, the check item includes the number of slides constituting the presentation material, the restriction condition includes a condition that the number of slides is a specified number or less, and the display screen of the display device includes the number of slides constituting the presentation material. A first display area for displaying slides constituting the educational materials and a second display area that can be visually distinguished from the first display area are set, and the restriction process is performed when the number of slides is the target check item. In this case, it is preferable to include a slide movement process of moving the slides in excess of the specified number as the limiting condition from the first display area to the second display area.

According to this configuration, compared to the case where slides exceeding the specified number are also displayed in the first display area together with other slides, the number of slides exceeding the specified number is excluded from the slides that make up the presentation materials. It is easy for the user to visually check the slides.

As described above, in the configuration in which the restriction process includes the slide movement process, the slide movement process prioritizes the slides that were created later or the check items other than the number of slides. It is preferable to preferentially move the slides that have a high percentage of not meeting the restriction conditions from the first display area to the second display area.

According to this configuration, in the slide movement process, when moving slides that were created later from the first display area to the second display area preferentially, the slides that were created later are moved from the first display area to the second display area. A plurality of consecutive slides can be left in the first display area as slides constituting presentation materials. Therefore, in this case, it is possible to move slides in excess of the specified number from the first display area to the second display area while minimizing the influence on the logical development of the presentation that the user is considering.

In addition, in the slide movement process, if slides with a high percentage of check items other than the number of slides do not meet the restriction conditions are preferentially moved from the first display area to the second display area, check the check items other than the number of slides. It is possible to preferentially leave slides that have a high proportion of items satisfying the restriction conditions in the first display area as slides that constitute presentation materials. Therefore, in this case, slides exceeding the specified number can be moved from the first display area to the second display area so that presentation materials that satisfy the restriction conditions for all check items can be easily created later. .

The technical features of the presentation material creation support system having each of the above configurations can also be applied to a presentation material creation support program, and such programs, and furthermore, the storage medium in which such programs are stored ( For example, optical discs, flash memories, etc.) are also disclosed herein.

The arithmetic device 20 includes an arithmetic processing device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and a storage device (hereinafter referred to as "main storage device") that can be directly referenced by the arithmetic processing device. As the main storage device, a RAM (Random Access Memory) of the DDR (Double Data Rate) standard or its successor standard can be exemplified. The main storage device temporarily stores data when the processing unit executes each process. The arithmetic device 20 (specifically, the arithmetic processing device) executes a program stored in the main storage device or the storage device 15. Note that at least part of the data described in this specification as being stored in the storage device 15 may also be configured to be stored in the main storage device.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the user terminal 10 is a tablet-type portable communication terminal (generally referred to as a "tablet terminal"). Therefore, in this embodiment, the input device 11, display device 12, arithmetic device 20, communication device 14, and storage device 15 are housed in one housing.

A program for causing the management terminal 30 to implement each function of the management terminal 30 is provided by a storage medium or via the communication network N. The provided program is then stored in a storage device that can be referenced by the arithmetic device included in the management terminal 30.

The material generation unit 21 is a functional unit that generates material data (data representing the presentation material P) in accordance with the content of the user's operation on the input device 11. Based on the signal from the input device 11 (specifically, by analyzing the signal from the input device 11), the material generation unit 21 acquires operation information representing the content of the user's operation, and generates information according to the acquired operation information. Then, material data representing a presentation material P in which each element (content of each slide S, order of slides S, etc.) is configured is generated. The user operates the screen (graphical user interface) displayed on the display screen 12a of the display device 12 to perform various operations.

The operations performed by the user using the input device 11 include, for example, various operations regarding the presentation material P (new creation operation, editing operation, deletion operation, etc.). Editing operations on the presentation material P include, for example, various operations (addition, editing, deletion operations, etc.) on the slides S that make up the presentation material P, as well as various operations on the slides S that make up the presentation material P. Contains reorder operations. Editing operations on the slide S include, for example, various operations on the text box T placed on the slide S (adding operation, moving operation, resizing operation, deleting operation, character input operation, character editing operation, etc.), and the corresponding Various operations regarding the image M placed on the slide S (addition operation, movement operation, resizing operation, deletion operation, etc.) are included. Note that characters forming words, sentences, etc. are input into the text box T. In FIGS. 4 to 8, which will be referred to later, the characters input in the text box T are simplified and represented by "o". Furthermore, the image M is an image such as a photograph or a picture.

The restriction determining unit 22 is a functional unit that determines whether the material data satisfies prescribed restriction conditions for each of one or more prescribed check items. As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the check items include the number of text boxes (the number of text boxes T included in one slide S), the number of characters (the number of characters input in one text box T), ), the number of slides (the number of slides S forming one presentation material P), and the number of images (the number of images M included in one slide S). Note that the check items shown in FIG. 3 are merely examples, and a configuration may be adopted in which at least one of the number of text boxes, the number of characters, the number of slides, and the number of images is not included in the check items. In addition to these, the check items may also include, for example, the number of fonts, type of font size, type of font thickness, type of font color, type of background color, etc.

The limiting condition is a condition that limits the amount of information in the presentation material P. Restriction conditions are defined for each check item. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a limit condition is defined for the number of text boxes as "up to XX", a limit condition as "up to XX" for the number of characters, and a limit condition as "up to XX" for the number of slides. A limiting condition is defined, and a limiting condition of "up to ○" is defined for the number of images. In addition, in FIG. 2, for convenience, "○" is used instead of specific numerical values. In this way, in this embodiment, the restriction conditions include the condition that the number of text boxes is less than or equal to the specified number, the condition that the number of characters is less than or equal to the specified number, the condition that the number of slides is less than or equal to the specified number, and the condition that the number of slides is less than or equal to the specified number, and The condition that the number is less than or equal to a specified number is included.

Information on these check items and restriction conditions is stored in the storage device 15 in a mutually associated state, and the restriction determination unit 22 refers to the storage device 15 to acquire information on the check items and restriction conditions. Further, the restriction determining unit 22 analyzes the material data generated by the material generating unit 21 and acquires information on each check item regarding the presentation material P represented by the material data. In the present embodiment, the limit determination unit 22 acquires information on the number of slides constituting the presentation material P, and also determines the number of text boxes, the number of characters, and the number of images for each slide S constituting the presentation material P. Get information about. Then, the restriction determining unit 22 determines whether or not each check item is correct based on the information on the restriction conditions for each check item obtained by referring to the storage device 15 and the information on each check item obtained by analyzing the material data. , it is determined whether the material data satisfies the restriction conditions.

The restriction processing unit 23 is a functional unit that executes restriction processing defined for the target check item when there is a target check item that is a check item determined not to satisfy the restriction condition. The restriction process is a process that suppresses an increase in the amount of information in the presentation material P or encourages a reduction in the amount of information in the presentation material P. Restriction processing is defined for each check item. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, restriction processing is defined for each of the number of text boxes, the number of characters, the number of slides, and the number of images. Note that in FIG. 3, for convenience, the restriction process is "○○○○○○". The restriction processing information is stored in the storage device 15 in a state associated with the check item, and the restriction processing unit 23 refers to the storage device 15 and stores the restriction processing information (restriction processing ).

In this embodiment, the restriction processing unit 23 generates a display image (see FIGS. 4 to 8) to be displayed on the display screen 12a based on the material data generated by the material generation unit 21. Then, if the target check item exists, the restriction processing unit 23 generates a display image that reflects the content of the restriction process specified for the target check item (a display image that reflects the execution result of the restriction process). and display it on the display screen 12a. As described above, in the present embodiment, the restriction processing section 23 has a display image generation function that generates a display image in addition to the function of executing the restriction processing. A functional unit having an image generation function may be provided.

A specific example of the restriction process will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8. Note that the restriction processing described below is an example, and the number of restriction processing specified for one check item and the content of restriction processing specified for each check item can be changed as appropriate.

FIG. 4 shows a state where a plurality of presentation materials P created by the user are displayed as a list on the display screen 12a. Here, it is assumed that six presentation materials P are displayed on the display screen 12a, and one of them is the target presentation material P1 for which at least one of the check items is a target check item. ing. Here, in order to prompt the user to modify the target presentation material P1, the target presentation material P1 is displayed surrounded by an emphasis frame F on the list display screen of the presentation materials P, and the target presentation material P1 is displayed surrounded by an emphasis frame F. A caution icon C (an icon for calling the user's attention) is displayed on P1. The emphasis frame F can be used to make the display object surrounded by the emphasis frame F (here, the target presentation material P1) different from other display objects by, for example, making the line thickness, line type, line color, etc. different from other display objects. displayed for emphasis. Further, the caution icon C is displayed in a manner (size, position, etc.) that calls the user's attention to the target display object (here, the target presentation material P1).

FIG. 5 shows a state in which slides S constituting one presentation material P are displayed as a list on the display screen 12a (a state in which the slide list display screen is displayed). For example, in the state shown in FIG. 4, when the user performs an operation to select one presentation material P, a transition is made to a slide list display screen as shown in FIG. 5. In this embodiment, when displaying a list of slides S making up one presentation material P, the display screen 12a of the display device 12 includes a first display area A1 in which slides S making up the presentation material P are displayed; , a second display area A2 that is visible and distinguishable from the first display area A1 is set. For example, by displaying a boundary line between the first display area A1 and the second display area A2, or by making the background colors different between the first display area A1 and the second display area A2, the second display area A2 is displayed so as to be visible and distinguishable from the first display area A1. The second display area A2 is an area used as a temporary storage area for temporarily storing slides S and images M. Therefore, the slide S (see FIG. 8) displayed in the second display area A2 does not constitute the presentation material P, unlike the slide S displayed in the first display area A1.

In FIG. 5, it is assumed that slides S forming the target presentation material P1 are displayed as a list on the display screen 12a. Specifically, a case is assumed in which the number of slides exceeds a specified number defined in the restriction condition (that is, a case where the number of slides is the target check item). Here, a limiting condition that the number of slides is five or less is defined for the number of slides, and the third target slide S3 is set as the excess slide S. FIG. 5 shows a restriction process in which the excess slide S is displayed surrounded by a highlighting frame F on the slide list display screen, and a restriction process in which a caution icon C is displayed on the excess slide S in the slide list display screen. , it is assumed that two restriction processes are defined for the number of slides. Therefore, in FIG. 5, as the restriction processing unit 23 executes these two restriction processes, the third target slide S3 is displayed surrounded by the emphasis frame F, and the third target slide S3 is displayed with a caution icon C. is displayed.

Furthermore, in FIG. 5, it is assumed that the two slides S, the first target slide S1 and the second target slide S2, do not satisfy the restriction conditions for at least one of the check items (excluding the number of slides). ing. In the present embodiment, in order to prompt the user to modify the slide S, both the first target slide S1 and the second target slide S2 are displayed surrounded by an emphasis frame F on the slide list display screen. At the same time, a caution icon C is displayed on both the first target slide S1 and the second target slide S2.

6 and 7 show a state in which a slide editing screen for editing the slide S is displayed. For example, when the user performs an operation to select one slide S while the slide list display screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 5, the screen changes to a slide editing screen as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. do. In FIG. 6, it is assumed that the first target slide S1 shown in FIG. 5 is selected by the user and the editing screen for the first target slide S1 is displayed, and in FIG. 7, the second target slide S1 shown in FIG. It is assumed that slide S2 is selected by the user and the editing screen for the second target slide S2 is displayed.

In Figure 6, it is assumed that the number of text boxes exceeds the specified number (for example, 3 or 4) specified in the restriction conditions (i.e., the number of text boxes is the target check item). . In FIG. 6, a restriction process is performed in which the frames of all text boxes T are displayed in emphasis frames F on the slide editing screen (that is, for all text boxes T, characters or character strings input in text boxes T are displayed in emphasis frames Assume that two restriction processes are specified for the number of text boxes: one is to display a caution icon C in all text boxes T on the slide editing screen. ing. Therefore, in FIG. 6, by the restriction processing unit 23 executing these two restriction processes, the frames of all five text boxes T are displayed as highlighted frames F, and the frames of all five text boxes T are A caution icon C is displayed.

On the other hand, in FIG. 7, the number of characters exceeds the specified number specified in the limiting condition (here, 6 characters), and the number of images exceeds the specified number specified in the limiting condition (for example, one or two). (i.e., when the number of characters and number of images are the target check items). FIG. 7 shows a restriction process in which excess characters are displayed as highlighted characters L on the slide editing screen, and a restriction process in which the frame of a text box T whose number of characters does not satisfy the restriction condition is displayed in an emphasized frame F on the slide editing screen. It is assumed that three restriction processes are defined for the number of characters: and a restriction process that displays a caution icon C in a text box T whose number of characters does not satisfy the restriction condition on the slide editing screen. Therefore, in FIG. 7, when the restriction processing unit 23 executes these three restriction processes, the text box T whose number of characters does not satisfy the restriction condition is set as the target text box T1, and the excess two characters in the target text box T1 are removed. The target text box T1 is displayed as a highlighted character L, the frame of the target text box T1 is displayed as a highlighted frame F, and furthermore, a caution icon C is displayed in the target text box T1. Note that the emphasized character L is displayed so as to emphasize the target character (excess character) by, for example, making the font, character thickness, character color, etc. different from other characters.

Furthermore, in FIG. 7, there are two restrictions: a restriction process in which all images M are displayed surrounded by an emphasis frame F on the slide editing screen, and a restriction process in which a caution icon C is displayed on all images M in the slide edit screen. It is assumed that the processing is specified in terms of the number of images. Therefore, in FIG. 7, as the restriction processing unit 23 executes these two restriction processes, all three images M are displayed surrounded by the emphasis frame F, and all three images M are displayed with caution. Icon C is displayed.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5, a restriction process is performed in which the excess slide S is displayed surrounded by a highlighting frame F on the slide list display screen, and a caution icon C is placed on the excess slide S on the slide list display screen. The explanation has been given as an example of a case in which two restriction processes, the display restriction process, are defined for the number of slides, but in addition to at least one of these two restriction processes, or in place of these two restriction processes. , the restriction process for moving the excess slides S from the first display area A1 to the second display area A2 may also be configured with respect to the number of slides. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the restriction processing unit 23 executes such restriction processing, so that the third target slide S3, which is the excess slide S, is moved from the first display area A1 to the second display area A2. ing.

In this way, when the number of slides is the target check item, the restriction process executes the slide movement process to move the slides S exceeding the specified number as the restriction condition from the first display area A1 to the second display area A2. It is possible to have a configuration including. In addition, in such slide movement processing, for example, priority is given to slides S that were created late, or priority is given to slides S that have a high rate of not satisfying the restriction conditions for check items other than the number of slides. In other words, the slides S having the largest number of check items (excluding the number of slides) that do not satisfy the restriction conditions can be preferentially moved from the first display area A1 to the second display area A2.

As described above, this support system 1 allows operations that do not satisfy the restriction conditions (for example, operations that add more text boxes T or images M than the specified number, or operations that add more than the specified number of text boxes T and images M). The system is configured to allow the user to perform an operation of inputting characters, but if there is a check item that does not satisfy the restriction conditions, a restriction process specified for the check item is performed. This allows the user to use trial and error as to what information to keep if the user performs an operation that does not meet the restriction conditions, allowing the user to think more deeply about what they want to convey in the presentation. This makes it possible for the user to work on creating the presentation material P while doing so.

By the way, when applying the support system 1 to educational situations such as school education and corporate education, in order to increase the effectiveness of education, the restriction contents, which are at least one of check items, restriction conditions, and restriction processing, should be It is desirable to be able to set it according to the target attainment level and the user's level. In this regard, the support system 1 is configured such that the content of restrictions for each of the plurality of user terminals 10 can be set on the management terminal 30. Specifically, the management terminal 30 includes a functional unit (restriction content setting unit 31) that sets the restriction content for each of the plurality of user terminals 10. The restriction content setting unit 31 acquires operation information representing the operation contents of the administrator on the management terminal 30, and sets restriction contents based on the acquired operation information. Therefore, the administrator does not need to set the restriction contents for each user terminal 10 one by one, and can set the restriction contents for each of the plurality of user terminals 10 by operating the management terminal 30. It is possible. In this embodiment, the restriction contents include all check items, restriction conditions, and restriction processing, and the administrator can set all of the check items, restriction conditions, and restriction processing on the management terminal 30. can. Further, in this embodiment, as described later, a plurality of restriction levels are defined for the restriction content, and the administrator can set the restriction content of each restriction level on the management terminal 30.

As described above, in this embodiment, the support system 1 includes a server 40 that can communicate with each of the plurality of user terminals 10 and the management terminal 30. In the present embodiment, information on restrictions set on the management terminal 30 is stored in the server 40. That is, the administrator accesses the server 40 from the management terminal 30, creates or updates the restriction content, and stores it in the server 40. Then, based on the information on the restriction content that each of the user terminals 10 has acquired from the server 40, the restriction content for each user terminal 10 is set. Specifically, the user terminal 10 includes a functional unit (information update unit 25) that updates information on restriction contents stored in the storage device 15. The information update unit 25 accesses the server 40 as appropriate, acquires the latest restriction content information stored in the server 40, and stores the acquired latest restriction content information in the storage device 15. Thereby, the restriction contents for each user terminal 10 are set based on the restriction contents information acquired from the server 40.

In the present embodiment, the restriction content defines a plurality of restriction levels in which at least one of the degree of restriction and the method of restriction on the amount of information of the presentation material P differs. Note that the degree of restriction on the amount of information in the presentation material P changes depending on the content of the restriction conditions and the number of check items. Furthermore, the method for limiting the amount of information in the presentation material P changes depending on the contents of the check items and the contents of the restriction process. In the example shown in FIG. 2, at least two restriction levels (specifically, an "elementary school student" restriction level and a "junior high school student" restriction level) with different restriction conditions are defined. That is, for at least one of the check items, different prescribed numbers or prescribed numbers of sheets (numbers indicated by "○" in FIG. 2) are prescribed for the restriction level for "elementary school students" and the restriction level for "junior high school students."

The restriction level of the restriction contents for each user terminal 10 is configured to be set according to the attributes of the user operating each user terminal 10. Specifically, the user terminal 10 includes a functional unit (restriction level determination unit) that determines a restriction level according to the attributes of the user who operates the user terminal 10, and sets the determined restriction level as the restriction level in the user terminal 10. 24). Here, the restriction level determination unit 24 acquires the attribute information of the user based on the user's operation details on the input device 11. For example, the restriction level determining unit 24 acquires attribute information of the user based on identification information (user ID, etc.) input by the user when logging into the user terminal 10. Then, the restriction level determination unit 24 determines the restriction level based on the acquired user attribute information. For example, when the user attribute is "elementary school student" or "elementary school student or younger," the restriction level determining unit 24 determines the restriction level to be "elementary school student" and the user attribute is "junior high school student" or "junior high school student or older." ”, the restriction level is determined to be that of “junior high school student.”

The restriction determining section 22 and the restriction processing section 23 refer to the storage device 15 and acquire information on the restriction contents according to the restriction level determined by the restriction level determining section 24 . Here, since a plurality of restriction levels are defined so that the contents of the restriction conditions are different from each other, the restriction determination section 22 stores information on the restriction conditions corresponding to the restriction level determined by the restriction level determination section 24 in the storage device 15. Browse and retrieve. Note that when a plurality of restriction levels are defined that differ in the number of check items and the contents of the check items, the restriction determining unit 22 determines the information on the check items according to the restriction level determined by the restriction level determining unit 24. , with reference to the storage device 15. Further, when a plurality of restriction levels with different contents of restriction processing are defined, the restriction processing section 23 stores information on the restriction processing according to the restriction level determined by the restriction level determination section 24 in the storage device 15. Browse and retrieve.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of restriction levels are defined in the restriction content, in which the higher the restriction level, the stronger the degree of restriction on the amount of information in the presentation material P. In this embodiment, a plurality of restriction levels are defined in one restriction level that is set according to the attributes of the user, and the degree of restriction on the amount of information in the presentation material P becomes stronger as the restriction level becomes higher. ing. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the degree of restriction on the amount of information in presentation material P increases as the restriction level (proficiency level) increases from beginner to intermediate to advanced within the restriction level of "elementary school student". Three restriction levels (proficiency levels) are defined in which the level of restriction becomes stronger, and within the restriction level of "junior high school student", the amount of information in the presentation material P increases as the restriction level (mastery level) increases from beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Three restriction levels (proficiency levels) are defined, each with increasing degree of restriction. In addition, for at least one of the check items, by specifying the specified number or the specified number of sheets (the number indicated by "○" in Figure 2) so that it decreases as the proficiency level increases, the number of pages for presentations decreases as the proficiency level increases. A plurality of proficiency levels are defined so that the amount of information in the material P is more restricted.

The proficiency level of the user at each user terminal 10 is set according to the attributes of the user operating each user terminal 10 or according to the settings at each user terminal 10, and the restriction content at each user terminal 10 is set. The restriction level is set higher as the proficiency level of the user who operates each user terminal 10 becomes higher (specifically, the degree of restriction on the amount of information becomes stronger). In this embodiment, the restriction level determining unit 24 determines the proficiency level of the user operating the user terminal 10 according to the attributes of the user, and sets the determined proficiency level as the proficiency level of the user in the user terminal 10. . Specifically, the restriction level determining unit 24 acquires the user's attribute information as described above, and determines the proficiency level based on the acquired user's attributes. Then, the restriction determining unit 22 refers to the storage device 15 and obtains information on restriction contents (in this case, information on restriction conditions) according to the restriction level (proficiency level) determined by the restriction level determining unit 24. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 2, when the user attribute is "lower grade of elementary school," the restriction level determination unit 24 sets the proficiency level to "beginner" ("beginner" at the restriction level of "elementary school student"). If the user's attribute is "middle grade of elementary school", the proficiency level is determined to be "intermediate" ("intermediate" at the restriction level of "elementary school student"), and the user's attribute is "upper grade of elementary school". Then, the proficiency level is determined to be "advanced" ("advanced" at the restricted level of "elementary school student").

Note that the restriction level determination unit 24 determines the proficiency level of the user who operates the user terminal 10 according to the settings on the user terminal 10, and sets the determined proficiency level as the proficiency level of the user in the user terminal 10. It is also possible to have a configuration in which: In this case, a configuration may be adopted in which the user operating the user terminal 10 can set the proficiency level. If the proficiency level is switched during the creation of the presentation material P, each of the restriction determining unit 22 and the restriction processing unit 23 executes processing in accordance with the changed proficiency level. For example, in the situation shown in Figure 5, as the proficiency level changes, the limiting condition on the number of slides is switched from the limiting condition that the number of slides is 5 or less to the limiting condition that the number of slides is 4 or less. In this case, the slide S placed between the second target slide S2 and the third target slide S3 in FIG. Restriction processing is executed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the restriction process includes a notification that causes the display device 12 to display a notification image W with content that suppresses an increase in the amount of information in the presentation material P or encourages a reduction in the amount of information in the presentation material P. Including processing. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 6, a notification image W is displayed that suppresses an increase in the amount of information in the presentation material P or urges to reduce the amount of information in the presentation material P with respect to the number of text boxes. In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 7, a notification image W with content that suppresses an increase in the amount of information in the presentation material P or urges a reduction in the amount of information in the presentation material P is displayed with respect to the number of characters and the number of images. ing. The notification image W is displayed on the display screen 12a as a pop-up notification, for example.

The contents of the notification image W are different for each check item. Further, in this embodiment, the content of the notification image W in each user terminal 10 is different depending on the attribute of the user operating each user terminal 10. Specifically, the content of the message (comment) included in the notification image W differs depending on the attribute of the user operating each user terminal 10. For example, if the user's attribute is "lower grade of elementary school," the message included in the notification image W may be a message that only points out what needs to be corrected, or a message with few kanji, and the user's attribute is If the user is in the upper grades of elementary school, the message included in the notification image W may be a message indicating how to correct it, or a message indicating the reason for the correction, and the user attribute is "junior high school student." In this case, the message included in the notification image W can be a message that encourages thinking and speculation, or a message that conveys the purpose or purpose of limiting the amount of information.
