Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a mark sheet reader, and particularly to answer editing processing.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of mark sheet reader simply reads the marks in the answer column and tallies the number of correct answers.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional mark sheet reader mentioned above simply tallies the correct and incorrect answers in the answer column, so respondents need to concentrate to match the question and answer column, and if they continue to make mistakes in the answer column for a long time. The problem is that it takes a lot of time to correct it.

[Means to solve the problem]

The mark sheet reader of the present invention has a reading section for a correction section and an additional answer section in addition to the answer section, and has a processing section for editing the answers according to correction instructions.

〔Example〕

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the processing flow of the mark sheet reader of this embodiment. The results read by the reading section are divided into information in the answer column, additional answer column, and correction instruction column in the processing section, and editing operations are performed according to the correction instructions, and the total results are output.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a mark sheet used in this embodiment, with columns 1 to m showing the number of questions and rows 1 to 5 showing choices. Lines A and B are correction instruction columns, and columns m and a are additional response columns. For example, in row A, the answer is shifted to the next column.
If line B represents that one answer was omitted, then by editing the answers according to the content, the answers intended by the respondents were faithfully aggregated.

Referring to Figure 3, which shows other examples of mark sheets, 1-
The m column shows the number of questions, and the 1st to 5th rows show the choices. Lines A and B indicate corrections to the answer columns, and column m and column a are additional answer columns. Marking row A now indicates that the answer in that column has been marked in the next column, and marking row B indicates that the answer in the next column has been marked in that column.

If you mark row A, ignore blanks in that column, and move up the following columns one by one, and it will be the same as if you answered correctly. All you have to do is move them down one by one and process them.

In the case of A, write the overflowing answer in column m, and in the case of B, use column a in place of the missing answer column.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention can be used to edit information in the field for correcting entry errors and the additional answer field.
It is possible to calculate the total according to the respondent's intention, and to reduce the burden of correcting mark sheets due to filling errors. As a result, the psychological burden on test takers when using mark sheets for exams, etc. can be reduced, and anxiety about mark sheets can be reduced.
