Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scoring management system, which is paperless and provides immediate control.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional technique, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-754
As described in 66, there is known a facsimile system in which an operator writes characters on a consumable medium called OCR paper and sets the OCR paper on the apparatus to recognize the characters and transmit data.

[0003]

In the prior art, although the scoring can be automated by recognizing the characters written on the paper, it requires a consumable medium such as paper, and the paper reading operation is required for the scoring. However, there is a problem in that the burden on the operator such as paper collection and setting in the reading device is large.

The object of the present invention is to make paperless by developing a scoring system which does not require a consumable medium such as a paper and can recognize an immediate answer by using a completion key input of each test terminal device as a response, in contrast to the above-mentioned conventional technique. And, it is intended for immediate processing.

That is, it is an object of the present invention to reduce the burden on the operator without using a consumable medium.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a system is constructed in which a test terminal device having a tablet for question display and answer input is connected. The central processing unit downloads the question and answer format on each tablet, and uploads the answer data in response to the completion operation of the examinee or the test time end response. Further, the central processing unit performs the scoring process by collating the answer data of each test subject with the correct answer data immediately after the upload is detected.

[0007]

The central processing unit downloads the test question, answer format and control information registered in the file into the memory in the tablet of each terminal.

On the other hand, the control unit of each terminal displays the test question downloaded from the central processing unit in the display field, and the central processing unit answers the test subject by the test subject's completion operation or the test time end response. Upload the answer data entered in the input field.

Further, the central processing unit performs a scoring process by collating the answer data of each examinee with the correct answer data registered in advance immediately after the upload is detected, and then performs the sorting process and the determining process.

[0010]

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an automatic scoring system 1. The automatic scoring system 1 comprises a central processing unit 2 for performing download, automatic scoring and system management, a plurality of test terminal devices 3 for displaying questions and inputting answers, and a console 4 for system control. The central processing unit 2 is composed of a generalizing unit 20, a data transmission / reception processing unit 21, an arithmetic processing unit 22, and a result display unit 2D. Further, the data transmission / reception processing unit 21 includes an input lock control unit 23, a test time management unit 24,
It comprises a transmission data control unit 25, a file 26 and a reception data control unit 27.

FIG. 2 is a functional allotment diagram of the arithmetic processing section 22, which comprises a buffer 28, a count-up section 29, a correct answer data comparing section 2A, a total point storing section 2B and a result processing section 2C.

FIG. 3 shows a test terminal device 3, which comprises a tablet 30, an input pen 34, a control section 35 and a memory 36. Further, the tablet 30 has a display field 3
1, an answer input field 32, and a function field 33.

Next, the test execution procedure in this embodiment will be described.

FIG. 6 is a data transmission / reception processing flow in the central processing unit 2.

Prior to the start of the test, the transmission data control unit 25
By operating the console 4 of the examiner, the test question, the answer format and the control information registered in the file 26 in advance are downloaded to the memory 36 in the tablet of each test terminal device 3.

When the download completion from the transmission data control unit 25 is detected, the control unit 35 displays the test question in the display field 31 and the answer format in the answer input field 32. In addition, the examinee uses the input pen 3
Use 4 to enter data in the answer input field 32,
The control unit 35 makes the input data correspond to the answer format. The function field 33 is a field defined by the control information and used by the testee to switch the display question, correct the answer, complete the answer, etc. using the input pen 34.

In FIG. 4, the control unit 35 controls the transmission data control unit 2
Tablet 3 after detecting download completion from 5
It is a display of 0. That is, the control unit 35 displays the initial screen in the display field 31 and the test subject number input format in the answer input field 32. At this stage, the input lock control unit 23 locks the input of the function field 33, and the test subject cannot perform the question display operation, and only the test subject number can be input.

At the start of the test, the console 4 of the examiner
By the operation of, the test time management unit 24 sets the test start time and end time, and the input lock control unit 23
Cancels the input lock of the function field 33 of each test terminal device 3. In fact, when the test starts, the examinee uses the input pen 34 to make an entry in the answer entry field 32. It should be noted that FIG. 5 shows the display of the tablet 30 after the examinee inputs the question n key on the function field 33.

The reception data control unit 27 detects the completion key input on the function field 33 of the person to be tested or the test end report of the test time management unit 24, and then the memory 36.
Uploads the answer data stored in the buffer 28.

When the completion key input on the function field 33 of the examinee is detected, the reception data control unit 27 refers to the examination number in the upload data header section and deletes it from the list of unloaded examination numbers. Furthermore, the reception data control unit 27 reports the examination number to the input lock control unit 23 when detecting the completion of uploading for each, and the input lock control unit 23 locks the input of the function field 33 of the uploaded test terminal device 3. .

On the other hand, in the case of the test completion report from the test time management unit 24, the reception data control unit 27 uploads the data in the unloaded examination number list in ascending order. Further, when the reception data control unit 27 detects the completion of upload from all the test terminal devices 3, the reception data control unit 27 reports the completion of upload to the input lock control unit 23, and the input lock control unit 23
The input of the function field 33 of all the test terminal devices 3 is locked.

FIG. 7 is a calculation processing flow in the central processing unit 2.

Next, the correct answer data comparison unit 2A performs loop monitoring until it detects that data is stored in the buffer 28, and when it detects that data is stored, it extracts the oldest data and registers it in advance. The scoring process is performed by matching with the correct answer data, and the result is stored in the total score storage unit 2B. After that, the count-up unit 29 adds 1 to the data processed number m (initial value is 0). Further, the correct answer data comparison unit 2A repeats the process until m = (the number of terminals).

When the correct answer data comparing section 2A finishes processing all the data, the result processing section 2C carries out sort processing in score order and pass / fail judgment processing. Further, the result display unit 2D displays the processing result by operating the console 4 of the examiner.

With the above processing, it is possible to realize paperless and immediate scoring processing during the test.

[0027]

According to the present invention, problems are provided, scoring processing,
And because you can check the results without using paper,
It has the effect of becoming paperless during testing. Further, since the central processing unit can immediately perform the scoring process by inputting the completion key, there is an effect of immediate processing.

That is, there is an effect that the resources are not used unnecessarily and the burden on the operator can be reduced.
