Detailed Description of the Invention [Summary] A learning device using a processor is provided with a storage device that stores a plurality of problem presentation screens and a plurality of hint presentation screens for one problem, and In addition to helping students understand the content of the questions by sequentially reading out the presentation screens, the learning effect is improved by sequentially presenting multiple hint presentation screens in response to requests.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention aims to improve the learning effect of a learning device that uses a processor, and is also suitable for a learning device that also uses audio.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional learning devices of this kind, only one question presentation screen is prepared for each problem, and even if a hint presentation screen is prepared to help answer this problem, only one hint presentation screen is prepared. It was just a matter of preparing.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional learning devices as described above, since there is only one problem presentation screen, it is difficult to present problems with audio for complex problems or language learning. difficult,
Furthermore, since there is only one hint presentation screen, it is not possible to present hints according to the academic ability of the learner.

[Means for solving problems]

As shown in the principle diagram of FIG. 1, a microprocessor 1, an image memo IJ 4 that stores a plurality of problem presentation screens and hint presentation screens for one problem, a problem counter MC that indicates a problem, and a problem counter MC that stores a plurality of problem presentation screens and hint presentation screens for each problem. A processor system P includes a problem presentation screen counter MGC that instructs a problem presentation screen prepared in response to a problem, a hint counter HC that instructs a hint screen prepared in response to a problem, a display 2 connected to this processor, and an answer screen. A terminal device T is provided with an input device 3 and a hint request input device 5 for instructing a request to display a hint presentation screen, and the processor system P displays a plurality of problem presentation screens for one problem from the image memory 4. In addition to sequentially reading out and displaying on the display 2 of the terminal device T, the hint presentation screen instructed by the problem counter MC and the counter I-IC in response to the input from the hint request entry device of the terminal device T is displayed as above. The images are displayed sequentially on the display.

The terminal device T operated by the learner includes a display 2 and a keyboard 3, and is equipped with a hint request input device 5 shown on the keyboard in this figure, but this hint request input device is provided independently of the keyboard. You can also do that.

[For production]

2 and 3 are flowcharts showing the operation of the apparatus according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 is a flowchart for presenting questions, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart for displaying a hint presentation screen. In both figures, the counter shown in brackets is the problem counter MC1.
This refers to the contents of the count values of the question presentation screen counter MGC, hint presentation screen counter HC, etc.

The present invention will be described in detail below for each processing operation.

"Problem Presentation" In the flowchart of FIG. 2, when the problem presentation process is started, the problem counter MC and the problem presentation screen counter MGC are each set to "1", and the problem presentation screen specified by these counters is stored in the image memory 4. The data is read out from and displayed on the display 2. Therefore, the first question presentation screen becomes the first question presentation screen in the first room.

After this problem presentation screen is displayed, it is determined whether or not a predetermined problem presentation screen switching condition, such as the elapsed display time or the progression of audio in a problem that involves audio, is met, and if the condition is not met. This display will continue for a period of time, but when the conditions are met, the problem presentation screen counter M
1 is added to the count value of GC, and the question presentation screen designated by this counter and the count value of problem counter MC, which is the second question presentation screen between the first and second questions in this state, is read from the image memory 4 and displayed on the display 2. Display.

If this process is repeated and the count value of the problem presentation screen counter exceeds the number of problem presentation screens prepared in advance, there is no screen to be presented, and the presentation of the problem is complete, so the learner inputs the answer. Display a screen that tells you what to do until an answer is entered.

Here, when the learner inputs an answer, the answer process is performed, and when this process is completed, 1 is added to the count value of the question counter MC, the count value of the question presentation screen counter MGC is set to "1" by 7 degrees, and the same process as above is performed. Repeat the process.

At this time, if the count value of the question counter MC becomes greater than the number of questions prepared in advance, it means that all the questions have been completed, and the learning is terminated.

"Hint Presentation" In the flowchart of FIG. 3, the hint counter HC is always set to "1" when the answer processing is started.
When the learner presses the hint key to input, the hint screen specified by the count values of the question counter MC and hint counter HC, for example, the first hint presentation screen for the first room, is read out from the image memory 4 and displayed on the display 2. When a condition for terminating this display, such as the passage of a certain period of time, is met, the display of this screen is terminated and the original screen is returned, and at the same time, the count value of the hint counter HC is increased by 1.

When the learner further requests a hint presentation screen using the hint key for this problem, the count value of the hint counter increases by 1, so the next screen after the previously presented screen, for example, the first A second hint presentation screen for the interval is read out from the image memory 4 and displayed on the display 2.

If the display of this hint presentation screen is repeated and the count value of the hint counter HC becomes greater than the number of hint presentation screens prepared in advance, this learner is assumed to be lacking in answering ability and the correct answer ( If there are multiple correct answers, the most suitable one is displayed, and the learner's answering process for this question is completed.

Note that the hint counter HC is not limited to the processing described here, but also when the answer processing ends due to other manual answer processing, such as the end of answer checking by inputting from the answer input key. , the hint screen is displayed from the first hint presentation screen for the next problem even when processing the next problem.

〔Example〕

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the learning device of the present invention, in which elements corresponding to those in the principle diagram shown in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals. A correct answer example counter SC1 indicating the numbers of a plurality of correct answer examples, an answer word order counter KJC, a correct answer word order counter SJC, and a correct answer word number counter STC are added to the processor system having the principle configuration shown in FIG. An audio reproducing device 6 is added for asking questions aloud, and this audio reproducing device can be installed in the processor system, depending on the usage state of the learning device.

FIGS. 5 to 8 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of this embodiment, and [ ] indicates the contents of the counters etc. shown in parentheses.

The operation of each process will be explained below with reference to the illustrated flowchart.

"Summary of Learning Process" FIG. 5 shows an outline of learning using the learning device of this embodiment. First, a problem counter MC is set to 1, and The first problem is presented using the problem presentation process shown in Figure 2.
The problem presentation process is switched in synchronization with the audio of the audio reproduction device 6. And hint counter H
Set the contents of C to 1.

When the learner desires a hint about a problem, he or she presses the hint key to request display of the hint, and the hint presentation screen is displayed as described above with respect to FIG.

When a learner enters an answer using a character key other than the check key or hint key, the entered characters are stored in the answer memory KM provided in a part of the main memory of the microprocessor, and the answer is When the input is completed, the learner presses the check key to indicate the end of the input.

As a result, the learner's answer is read from the above answer memory and sequentially compared with multiple correct answer examples prepared in advance, and if it matches any of them, the correct answer is displayed on the display 2, and the question counter is displayed. If 1 is added to MC and the counted value is less than the number of prepared problems, a problem corresponding to the counted value of this problem counter, here the second problem, is presented to the learner in the same manner as above, Repeat this.

When all the questions are completed, the value of the question counter MC becomes greater than the number of prepared questions, indicating that all the questions have been completed.

If there is an error in your answer and it does not match any of the correct answer examples, compare it with the incorrect answer examples prepared in advance, and if there is a match, display the correction instructions or correction hints prepared for this incorrect answer example. The process returns to waiting for the learner's input, and if it does not match this incorrect answer example, the incorrect answer process shown in FIG. 6 is performed.

r Wrong answer processing J Fig. 6 is a flowchart of the incorrect answer processing described in Fig. 5. First, the correct answer counter SC is set to 1", and the correct answer indicated by the count value of this counter SC and the correct answer from the answer register are calculated. Compare the answer with the learner's answer and determine whether the answer string matches the correct answer example from the beginning to the middle. If they match, it is assumed that the check key was pressed by mistake in the middle of the answer. Displays a prompt to continue answering, ends error processing, and waits for learner's input. If they do not match, check each word for spelling errors as explained in Figure 7 later. Additionally, it performs a spell check process that instructs you to correct errors.

As a result of this spell check process, if there are no errors, then the word order check process, which will be explained later with reference to Figure 8, is performed. If there is an error in the word order, 1 is added to the correct answer counter SC, and if the counted value is less than the number of correct answer examples. The student is compared with the next correct answer example indicated by the counted value of the correct answer counter for cigarettes as described above, and if the counted value is greater than the number of correct answer examples, the learner is instructed to enter the answer again. In the same way as when there is an error in the results of the spell check and word order check, the incorrect answer process is ended, and the process returns to the state of waiting for the learner's input as described with reference to FIG.

"Spell check process J" FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the spell check process,
At the start, the correct answer example counter S, the correct answer example word word order counter SJC, and the answer word word order counter KJC are set to 1.
Set to .

Then, the first word of the first correct answer example indicated by the correct answer example counter S and the correct answer example word word order counter SJC is compared with the first word of the answer indicated by the answer word word order counter KJC, If these match or if there is an error between uppercase and lowercase letters and the learner corrects it, the answer word word order counter K
Increase JC by 1 and check the next answer word.

If there is an error in a letter rather than an error in uppercase and lowercase letters, if the error is within a predetermined tolerance range, it will be treated as a correct answer, and the answer word order counter KJC and correct answer example word word order counter SJC will be used. Both are incremented by 1, and each word is sequentially compared while the answer word and the correct answer example word remain. If the error is higher than the above tolerance rate, count the number of erroneous characters e, and then
It checks for transposed characters, missing characters, excessive characters, mistakes in punctuation marks and characters, and instructs the corresponding corrections, and when corrections are made, subtracts 1 from the number of incorrect characters until the value becomes 0. repeat.

In this way, if all the word errors have been corrected, the count value of the answer word word order counter KJC is increased by 1, and if there are answered words remaining, the above process is repeated until all answer words are completed. , and is repeated in sequence until all correct answer examples are completed, and when this is completed, this spell check processing is terminated.

"Word Order Checking Process" FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the word order checking process, in which the correct answer example indicated by the correct answer example counter SC is compared with the answer, and if the word order error is less than a predetermined tolerance rate, the word order check process is performed. We check for missing words, insertion of extra words, errors in word order, or discrepancies in words, instruct the corresponding corrections, and complete the word order check with the corrections, but if there are more errors than the above tolerance rate, If there is an error, the process is terminated.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the present invention, since a plurality of problem presentation screens and multiple hint presentation screens can be prepared, the learner can not only accurately understand the content of the problem, but also refer to the hint presentation screen according to his or her ability. Since it is possible to answer the questions, it is possible to achieve the special effect of being able to perform appropriate learning.
