DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an information processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described.
An explanation will be given of an education system used not only for managing personal information but also for transmitting communication information and exchanging information between teachers and students or between students.

FIG. 1 shows an example of an implementation state of such an education system, and shows a state in a primary school before starting a class. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a host computer connected to an antenna 2 that radiates waves such as radio waves and infrared rays. The host computer 1 is located in a school location (for example, a staff room,
Broadcast room). An antenna 2 connected to the host computer 1 is provided on the upper wall of the entrance of the classroom, and information to be notified to students is transmitted from the host computer 1 to the space via the antenna 2 by, for example, radio waves from the antenna 2. It has become. Information from the host computer 1 is information to be transmitted from the school to all school students or to all students by grade, such as news of school events such as medical examinations, athletic meet, and cultural presentation. The receivable range of the radio wave from the antenna 2 is within the classroom where the radio wave is installed.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a terminal as an information processing apparatus of the present invention that receives a wave from the antenna 2, and all students who go to school carry the terminal 3 one by one and go to school.
The student who comes to school enters the classroom while carrying the terminal 3, places the terminal 3 on his desk, sits on a chair, and waits for the start of the class. Note that the terminal 3 is placed on his desk during class.

A teacher's desk 5 is provided in front of the classroom so as to face a student's desk. On the teacher's desk 5, a teacher's computer 41 operated by a homeroom teacher is mounted.
As the teacher computer 41, the computer main body 41a
A personal computer including a display 41b as display means and a keyboard 41c and mouse 41d as input means may be used. The teacher computer 41 is connected to the host computer 1 via the communication path 6 so as to be able to transmit and receive information, and can transmit and receive information between the host computer 1 and the teacher computer 41 via the communication path 6. . Note that each teacher may carry the same terminal 3 as the student. In this case, information is transmitted from the host computer 1 via the antenna 2.

A movable electronic blackboard 42 is placed near the front wall of the classroom. The electronic blackboard 42 is obtained by adding a communication function to an electronic blackboard having a general configuration. The electronic blackboard 42 has a rectangular writing board portion 42a, and the writing board portion 42a is horizontally scanned to write on the writing board portion 42a. A reading unit 42b for reading the information
Transmitter (transmitting antenna) 42c for transmitting the read information
And a data control operation unit (not shown) for converting the read information into communication data.

The terminal 3 has a power supply that is not turned on / off by an externally operable power switch. The power supply is always on, and the terminal 3 is normally set to the reception state. If the antenna 2 is located within a receivable range of the wave from the antenna 2 (approximately in the premises of the school), if any wave is radiated from the antenna 2, the wave is automatically received. Therefore, information to be notified to the student from the school is automatically received by the terminal 3 during the time when the student is going to school, and is transmitted to each student.
Such an information transmission mode between the host computer 1 and the terminal 3 is called a broadcast mode.

The teacher computer 41 and the electronic blackboard
Information can be transmitted and received between the terminal 42 and the terminal 3 and between one terminal 3 and the other terminal 3 by radio waves such as infrared rays or specific low power. For example, a question given by the teacher in charge, a class-unit notification, and the like are transmitted from the teacher computer 41 to each terminal 3 of each student, and each terminal 3 operated by each student is sent to the teacher computer 41. , The answer to the question that was asked is sent. In addition, from the electronic blackboard 42 to each terminal 3 of each student, the electronic blackboard 42
Is transmitted. In addition, information can be transmitted and received between the students via the terminals 3 carried by the students. Such an information transmission mode between the teacher computer 41 and the electronic whiteboard 42, between the terminals 3, and between the plurality of terminals 3 is called a communication mode.

The terminal 3 of each student has two types of power supplies, one of which is always on in accordance with the broadcast mode, and the other of which is turned on by the operation of a changeover switch described later.・ It can be switched off. Therefore, the terminal 3 is always energized by the former power supply, and the broadcast mode reception state is maintained. Therefore, the radio wave emitted from the antenna 2 is received by the terminals 3 of all the students in the school,
The information is taken into the terminal 3.

The terminal 3 possessed by the student is normally set in the broadcast mode, receives waves from the antenna 2, and communicates with the teacher computer 41 and the electronic blackboard 42 or another terminal 3. When transmission and reception of information is necessary, the switching means provided in the terminal 3
The mode is switched from the broadcast mode to the communication mode. Further, the terminal 3 is provided with a timer, and the execution time of the broadcast mode or the communication mode is controlled by the timer,
For example, information transmission / reception processing outside of school hours is prohibited. However, each student in his / her home outside of school hours will receive information stored in his / her terminal 3 (notice from school,
Homework, etc.) can be searched and displayed.

The transmission information transmitted from the host computer 1 and the transmission information transmitted from the teacher computer 41, the electronic whiteboard 42, and the terminal 3 include transmission source information for specifying the transmission source. The device 3 identifies the source according to the source information included in the received information, and switches between the broadcast mode and the communication mode.

Also, transmission information issued from the host computer 1, the teacher computer 41, the electronic blackboard
The transmission information transmitted from the terminal 3 and the terminal 3 are provided with destination information indicating the transmission destination.
Alternatively, the teacher computer 41 acquires only the information addressed to itself based on the destination information given to the received information. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently collect only the information addressed to the user, and to keep the information confidential because information addressed to the students other than the user is not collected.

The terminal 3 is set with filter information related to the information to be stored, indicating the source of the information, the contents of the reception, etc., and compares the filter information with the newly received information. Then, it is determined whether or not to accumulate the new information, and the information is collected. Also, the terminal 3
Set the filter information related to the information to be searched, indicating the source of the information, the received content, etc., read the stored information, compare the read information with the filter information, and take the necessary Search for only relevant information. As described above, the terminal 3 can efficiently perform the information collection processing and the search processing.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the terminal 3 used by each student. The terminal 3 has a flat rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is provided with an input / output-compatible liquid crystal color monitor 3a in the center. The color monitor 3a displays received information, and the input monitor attached to the color monitor 3a is provided. Input can be performed with the pen 3b. Further, a keyhole 3c is formed in a corner of the terminal 3, and the terminal 3 is designed to activate the communication mode only when a student inserts his / her own key 3d into the keyhole 3c. , Personal privacy is being protected.

Next, the structure of communication data transmitted from the host computer 1 and the structure of communication data transmitted from the teacher computer 41, the electronic blackboard 42, or the terminal 3 will be described.

FIG. 4 is a format diagram showing an example of the structure of communication data transmitted from the host computer 1, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a specific example thereof. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, communication data from the host computer 1 includes first ID information a (specifically, “school”) indicating a transmission source and second ID information b (eg, “student”) indicating a type of information. Message), the third ID information c indicating the destination (specifically, "sixth grader"), and the specific content d (for example, "A briefing session for school excursions will be held from 4:00"). You. This first ID
The information includes flag information indicating the broadcast mode.

FIG. 6 shows a teacher computer 41 and an electronic blackboard.
FIG. 7 is a format diagram showing an example of the structure of communication data transmitted from 42 or the terminal 3. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a specific example of communication data from the teacher computer 41. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the communication data includes first ID information p (specifically, “teacher”) indicating a transmission source and a second I information indicating the content of the information.
D information q (for example, “homework”), third ID information r indicating a destination (specifically, “A, B”), specific content s
(For example, “correct test print”). The first ID information includes flag information indicating the communication mode.

The above-mentioned first ID information indicating the source and the third ID information indicating the destination are limited, and therefore, the source and destination are specified using codes. It is convenient.

As described above, the communication data from the host computer 1, the teacher computer 41, and the electronic blackboard 42
Alternatively, since the communication data from the terminal 3 includes the first ID information whose source is known, the terminal 3 on the receiving side can specify the transmission source for each information.
Further, communication data from the host computer 1 and
Since the communication data from the teacher computer 41, the electronic blackboard 42, or the terminal 3 includes the third ID information whose address is known, the terminal 3 on the receiving side determines whether the information is addressed to itself. Can be identified, and only the information addressed to oneself can be collected.

Next, the processing of such an education system will be described. The modes executed by the terminal 3 possessed by the student include a broadcast mode for receiving a radio wave from the antenna 2 in which information from the host computer 1 is included, and a mode in which the teacher computer 41, the electronic blackboard 42 or another terminal 3 And a communication mode in which information is transmitted and received by radio waves. These two modes are switched by the operation of the changeover switch 3e.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the processing of the switching operation between the two modes. It is determined whether or not the changeover switch 3e is on (S1), and the changeover switch 3e is turned on.
If 3e is off (S1: NO), the broadcast mode is set (S2). If the changeover switch 3e is on (S1: YES), the communication mode is set (S3). As a general example, during class, the switch 3e is turned on to set the communication mode so that information can be transmitted and received between the teacher and the student in each class unit, and the information is common to all school students except during class. A switching example in which the switch 3e is turned off and the broadcast mode is set so that the broadcast can be transmitted. Further, the LED 3f is turned on while the changeover switch 3e is on, so that the student can easily recognize that the communication mode is set.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in the broadcast mode. It is determined whether or not a mode switching operation has been performed (S11). If the operation has been performed (S11: YES), the mode is switched to the communication mode (S3). If the mode switching operation is not performed (S11: NO), the communication data is
It is determined whether or not the communication data has been received (S12). If no communication data has been received, the process returns. On the other hand, when the communication data is received (S12: YES), the reception information identification unit determines whether or not the flag of the first ID information in the communication data includes a flag of the broadcast mode (for example, "1").
The determination is made at 31 (S13), otherwise (S13: NO), the mode is changed to the communication mode (S3). When the flag is the broadcast mode flag (S13: YE
S), the reception information identification unit 31 determines whether or not the communication data includes itself in the destination (S14). Then, if the user is included (S14: YES), the communication data is displayed on the color monitor 3a via the output unit 34 (S15), and then stored in the information collection unit 32 (S16). on the other hand,
If the user is not included in the destination (S14: NO),
Return as it is.

Here, an application example of the broadcast mode in a school will be described. Outside of class hours, that is,
A radio wave including information from the host computer 1 is transmitted from the antenna 2 to the school during a time period such as before the start of work, during a break including lunch, and after the end of work. The terminal 3 of each student receives the radio wave, identifies the flag of the broadcast mode, and displays information included in the radio wave on the color monitor 3a to notify the student. After displaying for a predetermined time, the information is stored in the information collecting unit 32. Therefore, the message from the school can be reliably transmitted to the students.

A display example on the terminal 3 in such a broadcast mode will be described. The content of the latest received information is displayed on the color monitor 3a of the terminal 3, and only the ID information of the previously received information is displayed as a list after being accumulated. The student can display the accumulated desired information on the color monitor 3a by designating the list item.

As described above, the broadcast mode of the present invention performs the same function as that of the conventional school broadcasting. In school broadcasting, some students sometimes missed the contents of the broadcast and did not reliably communicate the message to all students. However, according to the present invention, regardless of the student's attention, the students contact the terminal 3 of all students. Since the information is reliably transmitted, even if the message displayed at the time of transmission is missed, the message is stored internally as data. Therefore, the content of the message can be grasped by reading out the stored data. Also, by reading the stored data, the contents of the message can be confirmed again, so that the contents can be transmitted accurately.

In such a broadcast mode, it is possible to designate a destination, for example, "fifth grade", "science club", etc., and to transmit a message only to a specific student. By designating “unspecified”, it is also possible to transmit a message to all school students.

In addition to the above examples, host computers and antennas similar to those in schools are set in public places such as stations, museums, art galleries, and event venues, and students enter such public places. In this case, an application example of a broadcast mode in which various information from the host computer is received by the terminal 3 via the antenna is also possible.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in the communication mode. It is determined whether or not a mode switching operation has been performed (S21). If the operation has been performed (S21: YES), the mode is changed to the broadcast mode (S2). If the mode switching operation has not been performed (S21: NO), it is determined whether or not communication data has been received by the receiving unit 30 (S22). When the communication data is received (S22: YES), the reception information identification unit 31 determines whether the flag of the first ID information in the communication data includes a communication mode flag (for example, “0”) ( If not (S23: NO), the mode is changed to the broadcast mode (S2). If the flag is the communication mode flag (S23: YES), the reception information identification unit 31 determines whether or not the communication data itself includes the destination (S24). If the user is included (S24: YES), the communication data is displayed on the color monitor 3a via the output unit 34 (S2).
In 5), the information is stored in the information collecting unit 32 (S26). On the other hand, if the user is not included in the destination (S24: NO), the process returns. If the communication data is not received in S22 (S23: NO), it is determined whether or not the transmission operation is performed, that is, whether or not the transmission operation button 3g is pressed (S22).
27). If the transmission operation button 3g is not pressed (S
(27: NO) Return as it is, and if pressed (S27: YES), perform data transmission processing (S28) and end the processing.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a procedure of a data transmission process in the terminal 3. After pressing the transmission operation button 3g, specific information contents to be transmitted to the color monitor 3a are input using the input pen 3b (S31), and the second ID information indicating the type of the contents and the third ID information indicating the destination Is input (S32). The first ID information indicating the transmission source is automatically added before transmission. Such input data is sent to the data control calculation unit 36 via the input unit 35, and is converted into radio wave data. Then, the transmission button 3h is pressed, and the radio wave data thus created is transmitted from the transmission unit 37 (S33).

The teacher computer 41 and the electronic blackboard
The process of transmitting communication data from 42 to the terminal 3 is basically the same as that shown in FIG.

Next, an example of application of the communication mode in a school will be described. During the class, the terminals 3 of all students in the class are set to the communication mode.

First, information transmission between the teacher and the student, that is,
An example of information transmission between the teacher computer 41 and the terminal 3 will be described. For example, consider a case where a teacher presents a common math problem to students in a class and each student presents the answer to the teacher. In this case, the teacher uses the teacher computer
Using the input means of the keyboard 41c and the mouse 41d of 41, communication data is created and transmitted. At this time, the first ID information, the second ID information, the third ID information, and the specific contents of the communication data are, for example, “teacher”, “question”, “unspecified”, and “32 ÷ (2 + 6) × 2”, respectively. Become. Then, the communication data is displayed on the color monitor 3a of the terminal 3 of each student. Each student solves this problem, seeks an answer, presses the transmission operation button 3g, then creates and transmits communication data.
At this time, the first ID information, the second ID information of the communication data,
The third ID information and the specific content are, for example, “A
(Student name) "," answer "," teacher ", and" 8 ". Here, the display 41b of the teacher computer 41 is a split screen, and communication data from each student is displayed on each split screen. In this way, communication between the teacher and all the students in the class is possible during the class, and the teacher can proceed with the class while grasping the degree of understanding of each student.

Further, in such an example of sending and receiving a question and an answer, a destination from the teacher side can be set for each arbitrary student, so that a problem that is difficult for a student with high ability is an issue that is easy for a student with low ability. Since questions with different degrees of difficulty can be set for each group or individually, it is possible to provide detailed guidance according to each student's ability.

Next, information transmission between the electronic blackboard 42 and the student terminal 3 will be described. The teacher arranges and writes the points of today's lesson on the writing board portion 42a of the electronic blackboard 42, scans the written portion with the reading portion 42b, and reads the content.
Communication data indicating the read content is created and transmitted
Sent from 42c. At this time, the first ID information, the second I
The D information, the third ID information, and the specific contents are, for example, “blackboard”, “gist of the day”, “unspecified”, and “order of calculation...”. This communication data is stored in the terminal 3 of each student.
After being displayed on the color monitor 3a, the information is accumulated in the information collecting unit 32 in the terminal 3. As described above, since the contents written by the teacher during the lesson are stored in the terminal device 3, the student does not need to copy the contents to the notebook, and can concentrate on listening to the explanation of the teacher.

Next, an example of information transmission between students, that is, an example of information transmission between the terminal 3 of a certain student and the terminal 3 of another student will be described. For example, consider a case where student A notifies another performer of the date and time of the practice of a play at a cultural presentation. In this case, the student A presses the transmission operation button 3g and then uses the input pen 3b of his / her terminal 3 to input the destination and the contents of the message to the color monitor 3a. Then, when the transmission button 3h is pressed, the communication data is transmitted. At this time, the first ID information, the second ID information, the third ID information, and the specific contents are “A”, “message”, and “B”, respectively.
"Mr. C, D", "I will practice the play from 3 o'clock today." This communication data is received by the terminal 3 of all students in the class, but the destination is limited. , B
No display or accumulation is performed on the terminals 3 of the students other than Mr. C, D, and only the terminals 3 of B, C, and D are displayed and accumulated. In this way, information transmission between students can be performed in a manner in which the other party is specified.

In addition to the above examples, the destination is "unspecified".
Can be transmitted from the teacher computer 41 to all the terminals 3 from the class or from one terminal 3 to all the other terminals 3. By using this function, The communication mode can be applied as a class newspaper, a contact book, or the like.

In the above-described example, the terminal 3 is set to the communication mode during the lesson, and is set to the broadcast mode except during the lesson.
Of course, these two modes can be arbitrarily switched by the switching operation of the changeover switch 3e.

By the way, there is a great difference in knowledge and judgment between the upper grades and the lower grades of elementary school students, so that if the interface of the terminal 3 is common to all grades, the usability may be deteriorated. Therefore, in the terminal 3 of the present invention, the interface is updated according to the student's growth, and the display mode is changed for each grade. For example, when the class is advanced to a new grade, the interface program of the terminal 3 is changed by inserting a system card in which a program for converting to display data suitable for the grade is written.

The elements that change the display format for each grade include:
It is conceivable to limit the type of kanji to be used for each grade, to change the way of expression (consensual foreign language), to add reading to kanji in the lower grades, to change the size of displayed characters, and the like.
For example, if you tell your students that they will postpone an excursion in the event of rain, the expression "I will postpone the excursion next week if it's rainy tomorrow" is sufficient for older students, Grade students do not understand this well. Thus, the terminal 3 used by lower-grade students displays a message such as "If tomorrow (rain) rains, extend your foot for the next week". In addition, the terminal 3 used by lower-grade students is compared with the terminal 3 used by higher-grade students,
Increase the size of displayed text so that lower grade students can see it.

As described above, in the terminal 3 of the present example, when the same content is communicated to all the students, the communication can be performed in an expression suitable for the learning proficiency in each grade, and The students do not feel redundant, and the students in lower grades do not understand the contents, and are convenient for all students.

In the above-described example, as a method of changing the display mode for each grade, when a new grade is advanced, a system card in which a program suitable for the grade is written is inserted. It is also possible to use a simple method. All the programs to be used for 6 years are stored in the terminal 3 in advance for each school year, and the programs for each school year are subject to abstinence processing. May be sequentially removed from the program. Further, when a student to use advances to a new grade, data of a new program suitable for the grade may be transmitted from the host computer 1 to each terminal 3. Further, in the above-described example, the display form of the information is updated for each grade, but it is also possible to change the display form for each student individually.

Use in schools, which are places for group living, and
Considering the underdeveloped social nature of young children, ethical and social use guidelines are necessary when using the above-mentioned educational system. For example, transmission / reception processing using the terminal 3 after school is prohibited, and transmission / reception processing by the terminal 3 is limited to the school (however, it can be used outside the school if led by a teacher) or during class hours. It is necessary to set a usage guideline that transmission and reception between students is prohibited. In such a case, since the student's school time and class time are determined, it is possible, for example, to set a timer so as to match them, and to limit the use time zone of the terminal 3 with the timer. It is.

Next, a characteristic portion of the present invention in which such a terminal 3 used by each student is used as a device for managing personal information of each student will be described.

[0062] Height and weight, which are measured regularly, are representative of information about individual students in school life.
Health information such as diagnosis results obtained by examining teeth, ears, etc., test results, physical strength measurement results, and academic information such as the number of presentations in class can be considered. As described above, such management of personal information is complicated, and particularly, input processing of regularly obtained information is troublesome. However, the terminal 3 of the present invention is used as follows. This makes it possible to easily manage personal information including the input / collection processing of personal information.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing the use state of such a terminal device 3. In the figure, reference numeral 40 denotes a measuring device which is placed in a health room and can measure the height and weight of a student at the same time.
The measuring device 40 includes a transmitting unit 40 that transmits a radio wave indicating the measurement result.
a. Reference numeral 3 denotes a terminal (information processing device) of the present invention used by each student, and has the same internal configuration as that of FIG.

Next, the operation will be described. The student enters the health room with the terminal 3 carried. Then, after placing the terminal 3 near the measuring device 40, the student gets on the measuring device 40. The measuring device 40 measures the height and weight of the student, and transmits the measurement result from the transmitting unit 40a by radio waves. The transmitted radio wave is received by the receiving unit 25, and the height and weight measurement results are read by the reading unit 26 by the received wave at the receiving unit 25. The read measurement results are sent to and stored in the storage unit 22, and are also sent to and displayed on the display unit 23. The above processing is automatically performed when the terminal 3 is in the ON state. Therefore, personal information such as height and weight can be managed extremely easily without any troublesome input operation.

Further, such a measurement result stored in the storage unit 22 can be read out at an arbitrary time and displayed on the display unit 23 (color monitor 3a shown in FIG. 2). On this occasion,
As shown in FIG. 13, the change over time in weight (or height) can be displayed in a line graph. Therefore, a change in weight (or height) can be easily visually recognized.

If a mechanism capable of transmitting health information by radio waves is provided, the results of visual acuity inspection and the results of examination of teeth, ears and the like are exactly the same, and the terminal 3 used by each student is used.
Can be automatically entered.

In the case where information transmitted from the teacher computer 41 is input and collected in the terminal 3, the results of the test, the number of presentations in class, homework checks, and records of attendance are recorded. Many kinds of personal information other than information can be automatically input.

As described above, according to the present invention, the health information from the measuring device 40 and the academic information from the teacher computer 41 are
It is transmitted by radio waves to the terminal 3 used by the student, and the terminal 3
Receives and saves these personal information, the management of the personal information including the input processing can be performed extremely easily, and the burden on the student can be reduced. Has a high utility value as a management tool.

In the terminal 3 of the present invention, in addition to the automatic input as described above, the obtained personal information is manually transmitted to the terminal by using the input operation unit 24 (input pen 3b shown in FIG. 2). Of course, it is also possible to input to the device 3.

In the above-described educational system, various information is collected in the terminal 3 carried by the student. However, the capacity of the memory for storing the various information is so set that the size of the terminal 3 is not so large. Has a limit. Therefore, a function of efficiently collecting received information is required. Also,
Each student outputs the accumulated information as necessary and checks the information, but a function of quickly searching for the required information is required. Hereinafter, information collection processing and search processing in the terminal device 3 will be described.

FIG. 14 shows the information collecting unit 32 and the information searching unit 33 of the terminal 3 related to the information collecting / searching process (see FIG. 3).
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the device. In FIG. 14, an information collection unit 32 that controls collection of information includes a storage unit 32a that stores received information, and a comparison unit 32b that compares the received information with information stored in the storage unit 34. , Comparison unit 32
a storage control unit that determines information to be stored in the storage unit 32a and information that does not need to be stored in accordance with the comparison result of b, and outputs storage enable / disable information indicating the determination result to the storage unit 32a
32c. Information retrieval unit 33 that controls information retrieval
Is a search output unit 33a for searching for and outputting desired information from the information stored in the storage unit 34, and search information (first ID information and second ID information) when the search output unit 33a searches for information.
And a search information storage unit 33b for storing the search information. If the first ID information and / or the second ID information is different from the previous information, the first ID information and / or the second ID information of the information is stored in the search information storage unit from the storage control unit 32c. 33b is entered.

Next, information collection and retrieval processing operations will be described. The radio wave in which the information is included is received by the receiving unit 30, and the received wave is sent to the received information identifying unit 31, and the destination of the information is identified. If the information is addressed to itself, the received information is input to the storage unit 32a, the comparison unit 32b, and the storage control unit 32c. The comparison unit 32b compares the information input from the reception information identification unit 31 with the information stored in the storage unit 32a. Specifically, the comparison unit 32b compares the information from the reception information identification unit 31 and the information in the storage unit 32a with
The first ID information, the second ID information, and specific contents are compared. Then, the comparison result is stored in the accumulation control unit 32c.
Output to The storage control unit 32c determines which information is stored and which information is not stored based on the comparison result.

Specifically, the storage control unit 32c determines that the first input information, the second ID information, and the information that all of the specific contents match the newly input information are stored in the storage unit 32a. It is determined that the newly input information is not stored, and the newly input information, the first ID information, and the second
If information that matches the ID information but differs in specific content is stored in the storage unit 32a, the information stored in the storage unit 32a is deleted and the newly input information is deleted. If it is determined that the information is to be stored and if the information that matches the newly input information with any of the first ID information and the second ID information is not stored in the storage unit 32a, the newly input information is stored. I judge it. The storage availability information indicating such a determination result is stored in the storage control unit 32.
c to the storage section 32a. The storage unit 32a performs an information storage process according to the storage availability information.

In this way, when communication data having the same content is received, the communication data is not stored, and when communication data whose content is changed is received, the stored data is updated to new content. When new communication data with different first ID information or second ID information is received, the communication data is stored. Filtering processing on the received communication data is performed. Thus, it is possible to prevent the storage of unnecessary information and to effectively use the storage capacity. For example, in the broadcast mode, it is considered that information having the same content is often transmitted repeatedly. In such a case, since information having the same content is not stored, useless information having the same content is repeatedly stored. Nothing.

When information such that either the first ID information or the second ID information is different from the information already stored in the storage unit 32a is newly input, the first ID information and / or the second ID information is The information is input from the storage control unit 32c to the search information storage unit 33b and stored. When a student searches for necessary information, the first ID information and / or the second ID information are designated as keywords. Then, the search output unit 33a
Refers to the search information (first ID information, second ID information) stored in the search information storage unit 33b, searches for information matching the keyword from all information stored in the storage unit 32a, and outputs the information. I do.

As described above, search information related to information to be searched is stored in the search information storage unit 33b, and filtering is performed on all information stored in the storage unit 34 according to the search information. It is possible to search for the information desired by the student accurately and quickly and to present it to the student.

In the above-described embodiment, the antenna 2 connected to the host computer 1 is provided at the entrance of the classroom. However, the antenna 2 may be set at another place such as near the school gate, the entrance hall, or the roof. Needless to say. Although the information medium in the broadcast mode is radio waves and the information medium in the communication mode is radio waves, this is merely an example, and other combinations such as the use of infrared rays may be used.
