Here, the second user interface may be output in response to a countdown included in the first user interface ending or a user input for outputting a correct answer candidate. Additionally, the second user interface may include an indication to count down the predetermined time. For example, the countdown display may include, but is not limited to, a bar type display indicating the remaining time during the countdown.

According to an embodiment, in response to a user input of selecting one or more correct answer candidates from among a plurality of correct answer candidates associated with the quiz question, the processor is configured to apply a first color to an area corresponding to one or more correct answer candidates. 3 A user interface may be output (S840). For example, the third user interface may output 'blue' as a predetermined first color to an area corresponding to one or more correct answer candidates selected by the user. The predetermined first color is not limited to the above-described example, and may be a color distinguished from an area corresponding to an unselected correct answer candidate.

Then, the processor may output a fourth user interface including a determination result indicating whether the one or more selected correct answer candidates match the correct answer of the quiz question (S850). Here, the fourth user interface may be output in response to a user input for outputting a determination result included in the third user interface.

According to an embodiment, in the fourth user interface, different colors may be applied and output to the correct answer candidate area according to whether the correct answer candidate matches the correct answer of the quiz question. For example, in the fourth user interface, if the selected one or more correct answer candidates correspond to the correct answer of the quiz question, a second color (eg, green) is applied to the selected one or more correct answer candidates, and the second color (eg green) is applied to the selected one or more correct answer candidates. In this case, a third color (eg, red) may be applied and outputted to one or more selected correct answer candidates. In another example, the fourth user interface may apply a second color (eg, green) to all correct candidates corresponding to correct answers to the quiz question and a third color (eg, red) to all correct candidates corresponding to incorrect answers to the quiz question ) can be applied and printed. In another embodiment, according to the determination result, the fourth user interface may output a message indicating a change in ranking of a user who has input a response to the quiz question.

The processor may output a fifth user interface in which a quiz result corresponding to the quiz content is displayed ( S860 ). Here, the quiz result may include a time required to solve the quiz, a rate of correct answers to the quiz, and a score. Then, in response to the selection of the achievement-related display displayed on the fifth user interface, the processor may output a sixth user interface in which achievement information related to the quiz result is displayed when the quiz result satisfies a predetermined condition (S870) . For example, if the conditions such as the highest or lowest rank for the quiz result corresponding to the quiz content, the shortest time associated with the quiz solving time, the highest or lowest correct rate associated with the quiz correct rate, and the highest or lowest score associated with the score are satisfied , achievement information related to the quiz result may be displayed on the sixth interface.
