Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing system and program for processing information written with an electronic pen.

  Conventionally, as an electronic pen that can transmit the described information to the outside, there is an electronic pen manufactured by Anoto (see Non-Patent Document 1). This electronic pen is an ordinary pen equipped with a micro camera, an image recognition device, and Bluetooth (Bluetooth is a registered trademark of Telefon Acty Boraget L. Ericsson). It can read and analyze written handwritten content, and can immediately send and receive it to information communication devices such as personal computers, mobile phones, and fax machines.

Note that Bluetooth is a wireless communication standard, and the transmission distance is about 10 m when the transmission power is 1 mW, and is a wireless standard that is conscious of power saving and short distance. Moreover, by increasing the transmission power, the transmission distance can be extended up to 100 m at present.

  However, the electronic pen according to Non-Patent Document 1 includes short-range wireless communication means based on the Bluetooth protocol, but does not include means for transmitting information to a remote server device. Therefore, for example, when writing test answers using an electronic pen at home, scoring such as a small test of practice that should be performed when you feel like it, a certification test that asks about the confidentiality of the answer, and a nationwide simulation It is not considered that the test is scored on a different device. In other words, tests that do not require consideration of confidentiality of answers such as small tests are scored at home information terminals, and important tests such as certification tests and nationwide mock tests are performed remotely. However, this is not taken into consideration.

Next, the server-side processing unit 1402 acquires a test result management table corresponding to the electronic pen identifier “123456”.

Next, the server-side processing unit 1402 acquires a test identifier (a test identifier is synonymous with a test type) from one or more pieces of position information constituting the description information included in the terminal information of FIG. The process for acquiring the test identifier from the position information is the same as the process in the information terminal 13 described above. Then, it is assumed that the server-side processing unit 1402 obtains a test type “School year end test”. Next, the server-side processing unit 1402 recognizes the description information included in the terminal information of FIG. 16 and obtains the answer “2, 22,..., 56, 3” described by the student. Next, the server-side processing unit 1402 compares the answers “2, 22,..., 56, 3” with the answer information management table of FIG. Then, it is assumed that the server-side processing unit 1402 determines that 6 of 10 questions are correct answers. Then, the server side processing unit 1402 obtains a score “60”.
Next, the server-side processing unit 1402 configures a record having the test type “end-of-school test” and the score “60”, and updates the test result management table of the student “123456” as shown in FIG.

The determination unit 1303 determines that the position information included in the transmission information corresponds to the application identifier “mail transmission”. This determination is equivalent to the determination that all or part of the transmission information is transmitted to the server device 14. This is because the application identified by the application identifier “mail transmission” is an application having a function of transferring the contents (description information) of the letter to the server device 14. Then, the terminal information transmission unit 1304 transmits to the server device 14 terminal information having all or part of the transmission information received by the transmission information receiving unit 1302 and the information terminal identifier. The terminal information includes a set of position information indicating the contents of the letter “A child ...” written by the grandmother.

Then, the server-side processing unit 1402 acquires one or more pieces of position information included in the terminal information, and acquires a mail address from the mail address management table in FIG. The one or more pieces of position information included in the terminal information are, for example, “(12112, 5225)”. In this case, since “(12112, 5225)” is the position information included in the rectangular area specified by the position information 1 (12100, 5200) and the position information 2 (12199, 5499), the server-side processing unit 1402 The mail address “Daughter 1@xxx.ne.jp” is acquired.

  Next, the server-side processing unit 1402 recognizes the description information included in the terminal information and obtains a mail character code group “To A child...”. Then, the server-side processing unit 1402 transmits a mail “To child A ...” to the mail address “daughter 1@xxx.ne.jp”.

  Next, the processing result reply unit 1403 configures information indicating that “the mail has been transmitted”, which is a result of processing all or part of the terminal information by the server side processing unit 1402. Information indicating this “e-mail has been transmitted” is server processing result information. It is assumed that the server processing result information is information that “a letter has been sent to daughter 1@xxx.ne.jp”. The server-side processing unit 1402 generates server processing result information by combining a mail address indicating a transmission destination and a character string of a template “A letter has been sent to”. Then, the processing result reply unit 1403 transmits the server processing result information to the information terminal 13.

  Next, the processing result receiving unit 1306 receives server processing result information from the server device 14. Then, the processing result output unit 1307 outputs the server processing result information received by the processing result receiving unit 1306 as shown in FIG. With this output, the grandmother is relieved to know that the email was sent successfully.

  Next, it is assumed that the grandmother writes a schedule with the electronic pen 12 on another medium 11. That is, it is assumed that the grandmother writes “10: 0-00 gate ball” in the column 5/10 of the medium 11 of the schedule book shown in FIG. 26 and presses the transmission button (not shown) of the electronic pen 12. Then, the electronic pen 12 configures transmission information having the structure shown in FIG. 12 and transmits it to the information terminal 13.

  Next, the transmission information receiving unit 1302 of the information terminal 13 receives the transmission information by short-range wireless communication means such as Bluetooth. Then, the determination unit 1303 acquires one or more pieces of position information constituting the description information included in the transmission information. It is assumed that the position information is “(5866, 2530)”.

  Next, the determination unit 1303 determines that the position information (5866, 2530) is a point existing in the rectangular area specified by the position information 1 (5820, 2510) and the position information 2 (5919, 2809). To do. Then, the determination unit 1303 acquires the application identifier “schedule management”. Acquiring the application identifier “schedule management” is equivalent to the determination unit 1303 determining that all or part of the transmission information is processed by the information terminal. That is, the terminal-side processing unit 1305 activates the application identified by the application identifier “schedule management”, character-recognizes the description information included in the transmission information, and obtains “10: 00 to gate ball”. Next, the terminal side processing unit 1305 accumulates the information “10: 0-00” as a schedule for the date (5/10) specified by the position information included in the description information. The terminal-side processing unit 1305 detects a region (date region) described from the position information and performs a process of determining a date corresponding to the region. The application identified by the application identifier “schedule management” does not transmit information to the server device 14.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the application to be activated differs depending on the medium 11, and as a result, the information described with the electronic pen 12 is processed by the information terminal 13 or the server device 14. In this embodiment, an e-mail can be transmitted to a desired person as if writing a letter, which is particularly suitable for the elderly.
