  • the following explanation is for a case where a learner with the nickname "Taro" (first respondent) and a learner with the nickname "Jiro" (second respondent) compete against each other in English dictation. That is, the first respondent and the second respondent use the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20 to listen to the same English sentences transmitted from the server 1, and answer by alternately inputting the English words contained in the English sentences into the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20. That is, the question is an audio signal of the English sentence (including one or more English words). The answer is character information of the English words contained in the English sentence.
  • the first respondent When the first respondent is the respondent for the first question (in English), the first respondent inputs the first English word contained in the English sentence as the answer into the first terminal 10. The first respondent is required to input the answer within a predetermined time (20 seconds). If the answer entered by the first respondent is correct, points are awarded to the first respondent and the right to answer is transferred to the second respondent. As a result, the second respondent enters an answer to the second English word contained in the English sentence into the second terminal 20 within a predetermined time (20 seconds).
  • the second respondent enters the answer to the first English word contained in the English sentence into the second terminal 20 within a specified time (20 seconds). If the answer entered by the second respondent is also incorrect, the right to answer is transferred to the first respondent. If both the first and second respondent answer the same English word three times each, the points of the first and second respondent are deducted (for example, 20 points each), and the first respondent enters the answer to the second English word contained in the English sentence into the first terminal 10 within a specified time (20 seconds).
  • the server may be configured so that, if the answer entered by the first respondent is incorrect, the first respondent can enter a second answer into the first terminal 10 as a second challenge, if it is within a specified time. In this configuration, if the second answer is also incorrect, the first respondent can enter a third answer into the first terminal 10 as a third challenge, if it is within a specified time. If the third answer is also incorrect, the right to answer is transferred to the second respondent.
  • the server 1 gives a hint to the first respondent and the second respondent.
  • the hint may be, for example, slowing down the playback speed of the audio of the English sentence, or displaying part of the English word on the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20.
  • the server 1 displays the correct answer on the first and second terminals 10 and 20. After that, the first and second respondents' answers are directed to the next English word (the next English word in the same question, or the first English word in the next question).
  • the first respondent and the second respondent compete to see who can get the most points by correctly answering the English words contained in the English question.

  • the multiple respondents who will compete against each other are learners determined by the server 1 based on the learners' past learning history (the total points of the scores in the competition mode, the measurement mode, or the self-study mode, or a combination of these total points). That is, for example, a teacher who teaches the students uses the server 1 to search for students with similar total points and determine the students who will compete against each other in the competition mode.
  • the multiple respondents to compete against each other may be determined regardless of the past learning history. That is, for example, the teacher determines multiple students from among the students as respondents, and the determined respondents compete against each other.
  • an unspecified number of learners may connect to the server 1 and wait for questions to begin, and at regular intervals (e.g., 15 minutes), the server 1 may randomly select multiple answerers from among the waiting learners to compete against each other, determine the order of answering rights, and then begin asking questions.

  • the server 1 may provide a function to operate as a pseudo answerer. That is, for example, the server 1 is connected to the terminal of one answerer. When the answerer selects the battle mode but there is no opponent, the server 1 operates as a simulated answerer who becomes the opponent of the answerer. That is, the answerer competes against the server 1.
  • This function realizes, for example, a performance in which a correct answer or an incorrect answer is input, or a performance in which the answerer thinks deeply (changing all or part of the answer being input, or taking time to input).

●学習モード●
　本プログラムは、学習モードとして、対戦モード（図３－図２８）と、計測モード（図２９－図３９）と、自習モード（図４０－図４６）と、を備える。 ●Learning mode●
This program has, as learning modes, a battle mode (FIGS. 3-28), a measurement mode (FIGS. 29-39), and a self-study mode (FIGS. 40-46).
　対戦モードは、複数の回答者が、同じ英文を聞いて、英文に含まれる英単語を、交互に回答するモードである。
　対戦モードにおいて、対戦中の回答者同士の回答やその正誤は、すべての回答者に共有される。すなわち、ある回答者が自身の端末に回答を入力すると、その回答やその正誤は、本サーバ１を介して、ほぼリアルタイム（本サーバ１と第１端末１０との間の通信、本サーバ１と第２端末２０との間の通信、それぞれによるタイムラグ程度）で、その回答者と対戦中の別の回答者の端末にも表示される。つまり、ある回答者が誤答した場合、そのことは、対戦者である他の回答者が正答に至るヒントとなる。 The battle mode is a mode in which multiple respondents listen to the same English sentence and take turns answering the English words contained in the sentence.
In the battle mode, the answers of the respondents competing against each other and their correctness are shared by all respondents. That is, when a respondent inputs an answer into his/her own terminal, the answer and its correctness are displayed on the terminal of another respondent competing against that respondent in almost real time (approximately the time lag due to the communication between the server 1 and the first terminal 10 and the communication between the server 1 and the second terminal 20) via the server 1. That is, if a respondent gives a wrong answer, it becomes a hint for the other respondent who is the opponent to arrive at the correct answer.
　計測モードと自習モードとは、回答者が１人で学習するモードである。
　両モードにおいて、回答者の得点は、制限時間（例えば、計測モードは１０分、自習モードは３分）内の回答者の回答状況（正答数、誤答数、英文の音声の再生回数など）に基づいて、採点される。回答者は、採点された得点をもとに、前回の学習時の自己の得点や他の学習者の得点との比較などにより、自己の能力・学習成果を客観的に把握できる。
　自習モードにおいて回答者に出題される設問は、その回答者の前回の学習結果（得点の合計点）に応じた難易度の設問である。 The measurement mode and the self-study mode are modes in which the respondent studies alone.
In both modes, the respondent's score is based on the respondent's answering status (number of correct answers, number of incorrect answers, number of times the English audio is played, etc.) within the time limit (for example, 10 minutes in measurement mode, 3 minutes in self-study mode). Based on the score, the respondent can objectively grasp his/her own ability and learning results by comparing his/her score from the previous study with the scores of other learners.
The questions presented to the respondent in the self-study mode are of a difficulty level according to the respondent's previous learning results (total points).
　図２は、回答者の端末に表示される学習モードの選択画面の模式図である。
　同図は、画面Ｐに、ボタン画像Ｍ１，Ｍ２，Ｍ３が選択可能に表示されていることを示す。ボタン画像Ｍ１，Ｍ２，Ｍ３の選択は、例えば、回答者の端末が備えるマウスやキーボードなどの入力手段で実現される。あるいは、ボタン画像Ｍ１，Ｍ２，Ｍ３の選択は、例えば、画面Ｐが表示される回答者の端末のディスプレイがタッチパネルで構成されていて、画面Ｐ内の各画像が表示されている領域がタッチ操作されることで実現される。 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a learning mode selection screen displayed on the respondent's terminal.
The figure shows that button images M1, M2, and M3 are displayed in a selectable manner on a screen P. Selection of the button images M1, M2, and M3 is realized, for example, by an input means such as a mouse or a keyboard provided on the respondent's terminal. Alternatively, selection of the button images M1, M2, and M3 is realized, for example, by touching the area on the screen P where each image is displayed when the display of the respondent's terminal on which the screen P is displayed is configured as a touch panel.
　ボタン画像Ｍ１が選択されると、本プログラムは、対戦モードで動作する。ボタン画像Ｍ１が選択された回答者の端末は、対戦モードのスタート画面（後述の図３の画面Ｐ１）を表示する。 When button image M1 is selected, the program operates in battle mode. The terminal of the respondent for whom button image M1 is selected displays the start screen for the battle mode (screen P1 in Figure 3, described below).
　ボタン画像Ｍ２が選択されると、本プログラムは、計測モードで動作する。ボタン画像Ｍ２が選択された回答者の端末は、測定モードのスタート画面（後述の図２９の画面Ｐ２）を表示する。 When button image M2 is selected, the program operates in measurement mode. The terminal of the respondent for whom button image M2 is selected displays the start screen of the measurement mode (screen P2 in Figure 29 described below).
　ボタン画像Ｍ３が選択されると、本プログラムは、自習モードで動作する。ボタン画像Ｍ３が選択された回答者の端末は、自習モードのスタート画面（後述の図４０の画面Ｐ３）を表示する。 When button image M3 is selected, the program operates in self-study mode. The terminal of the respondent for whom button image M3 is selected displays the start screen for self-study mode (screen P3 in Figure 40, described below).
●学習支援方法（対戦モード）●
　対戦モードにおける本方法は、以下に説明される。
　以下の説明は、ニックネーム「Ｔａｒｏ」の学習者（第１回答者）と、ニックネーム「Ｊｉｒｏ」の学習者（第２回答者）とが、対戦する場合である。第１回答者と第２回答者とは、英語のディクテーションにおいて対戦する。すなわち、第１回答者と第２回答者とは、第１端末１０や第２端末２０を用いて、本サーバ１から送信される同じ英文の音声を聞いて、その英文に含まれる英単語を、交互に、第１端末１０や第２端末２０に入力して回答をする。つまり、設問は、英文（１以上の英単語を含む）の音声信号である。回答は、英文に含まれる英単語の文字情報である。 ●Learning support method (battle mode)●
The method in versus mode is described below.
The following explanation is for a case where a learner with the nickname "Taro" (first respondent) and a learner with the nickname "Jiro" (second respondent) compete against each other in English dictation. That is, the first respondent and the second respondent use the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20 to listen to the same English sentences transmitted from the server 1, and answer by alternately inputting the English words contained in the English sentences into the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20. That is, the question is an audio signal of the English sentence (including one or more English words). The answer is character information of the English words contained in the English sentence.
　なお、以下の説明は、第１回答者の操作または第１端末１０の機能や動作などを中心に説明される。つまり、第２回答者の操作または第２端末２０の機能や動作などは、第１回答者または第１端末１０のそれらと同様であるため、その説明の全部または一部は省略される。 The following explanation will focus on the operation of the first respondent or the functions and operations of the first terminal 10. In other words, the operation of the second respondent or the functions and operations of the second terminal 20 are similar to those of the first respondent or the first terminal 10, and therefore all or part of the explanation will be omitted.
　最初の設問（英文）の回答者が第１回答者のとき、第１回答者は、英文に含まれる１番目の英単語を、回答として第１端末１０に入力する。第１回答者は、所定時間（２０秒）内に、回答を入力する必要がある。
　第１回答者に入力された回答が正答のとき、第１回答者に得点が付与されて、回答権は第２回答者に移る。その結果、第２回答者は、英文に含まれる２番目の英単語の回答を、所定時間（２０秒）内に、第２端末２０に入力する。 When the first respondent is the respondent for the first question (in English), the first respondent inputs the first English word contained in the English sentence as the answer into the first terminal 10. The first respondent is required to input the answer within a predetermined time (20 seconds).
If the answer entered by the first respondent is correct, points are awarded to the first respondent and the right to answer is transferred to the second respondent. As a result, the second respondent enters an answer to the second English word contained in the English sentence into the second terminal 20 within a predetermined time (20 seconds).
　一方、第１回答者に入力された回答が誤答のとき、第１回答者に得点が付与されることなく、回答権は第２回答者に移る。その結果、第２回答者は、英文に含まれる１番目の英単語の回答を、所定時間（２０秒）内に、第２端末２０に入力する。第２回答者に入力された回答も誤答のとき、回答権は第１回答者に移る。第１回答者と第２回答者との両者が同じ英単語を、３回ずつ、誤答をしたとき、第１回答者と第２回答者それぞれの得点が減点（例えば、２０点ずつ減点）された上で、第１回答者は、英文に含まれる２番目の英単語の回答を、所定時間（２０秒）内に、第１端末１０に入力する。 On the other hand, if the answer entered by the first respondent is incorrect, no points are awarded to the first respondent and the right to answer is transferred to the second respondent. As a result, the second respondent enters the answer to the first English word contained in the English sentence into the second terminal 20 within a specified time (20 seconds). If the answer entered by the second respondent is also incorrect, the right to answer is transferred to the first respondent. If both the first and second respondent answer the same English word three times each, the points of the first and second respondent are deducted (for example, 20 points each), and the first respondent enters the answer to the second English word contained in the English sentence into the first terminal 10 within a specified time (20 seconds).
　なお、本サーバは、第１回答者に入力された回答が誤答のとき、第１回答者が、所定時間内であれば、２回目のチャレンジとして、２つ目の回答を第１端末１０に入力できる構成としてもよい。この構成において、２つ目の回答も誤答のとき、第１回答者は、所定時間内であれば、３回目のチャレンジとして、３つ目の回答を第１端末１０に入力できる。３つ目の回答も誤答のとき、回答権は第２回答者に移る。 The server may be configured so that, if the answer entered by the first respondent is incorrect, the first respondent can enter a second answer into the first terminal 10 as a second challenge, if it is within a specified time. In this configuration, if the second answer is also incorrect, the first respondent can enter a third answer into the first terminal 10 as a third challenge, if it is within a specified time. If the third answer is also incorrect, the right to answer is transferred to the second respondent.
　また、第１回答者が所定時間内に正答を入力できなかったときも、第１回答者に得点が付与されることなく、回答権は、所定時間の経過時に、第２回答者に移る。 In addition, if the first respondent fails to enter the correct answer within the specified time, no points will be awarded to the first respondent, and the right to answer will be transferred to the second respondent after the specified time has elapsed.
　ここで、第１回答者と第２回答者とが、同じ英単語（例えば、設問の英文に含まれる１番目の英単語）の正答を、１回目のチャレンジで入力できなかったとき、本サーバ１は、第１回答者と第２回答者とにヒントを付与する。ヒントは、例えば、英文の音声の再生の速度が遅くなる、あるいは、英単語の一部が第１端末１０と第２端末２０とに表示される、などである。 Here, when the first respondent and the second respondent are unable to input the correct answer of the same English word (for example, the first English word contained in the English sentence of the question) in the first challenge, the server 1 gives a hint to the first respondent and the second respondent. The hint may be, for example, slowing down the playback speed of the audio of the English sentence, or displaying part of the English word on the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20.
　第１回答者と第２回答者とが、同じ英単語の正答を、３回目のチャレンジでも入力できなかったとき、本サーバ１は、正答を第１端末１０と第２端末２０とに表示する。その後、第１回答者と第２回答者との回答の対象は、次の英単語（同じ設問の次の英単語、あるいは、次の設問の１番目の英単語）である。 When the first and second respondents are unable to input the same correct English word even after the third challenge, the server 1 displays the correct answer on the first and second terminals 10 and 20. After that, the first and second respondents' answers are directed to the next English word (the next English word in the same question, or the first English word in the next question).
　このようにして、第１回答者と第２回答者とは、出題される設問の英文に含まれる英単語の正答を回答することで付与される得点の合計点の大小を競う。 In this way, the first respondent and the second respondent compete to see who can get the most points by correctly answering the English words contained in the English question.
●回答者の端末に表示される画面
　図３は、回答者の端末に表示される対戦モードのスタート画面の模式図である。
　同図は、画面Ｐ１に、回答者が自身のニックネームとして入力した「Ｔａｒｏ」が表示されていることを示す。 Screen displayed on respondent's terminal FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the start screen of the battle mode displayed on the respondent's terminal.
The figure shows that the nickname "Taro" input by the respondent is displayed on screen P1.
　図４－図２８は、第１端末１０と第２端末２０とに表示される回答画面の模式図である。
　各図において、画面Ｐａは、第１端末１０に表示される画面である。画面Ｐｂは、第２端末２０に表示される画面である。 4 to 28 are schematic diagrams of answer screens displayed on the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20. FIG.
In each drawing, a screen Pa is a screen displayed on the first terminal 10. A screen Pb is a screen displayed on the second terminal 20.
　対戦モードで学習する第１回答者と第２回答者とは、回答者それぞれの端末（第１端末１０と第２端末２０）から本サーバ１にアクセスして、メニュー画面Ｐ（図２）内のボタン画像Ｍ１を選択する。ボタン画像Ｍ１が選択された回答者それぞれの端末は、対戦モードのスタート画面（図３）を表示する。回答者それぞれは、自身のニックネームをスタート画面に入力して本サーバ１に送信する。 The first and second respondents who are learning in the battle mode access the server 1 from their respective terminals (the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20) and select the button image M1 in the menu screen P (Figure 2). The terminal of each respondent from which the button image M1 is selected displays the start screen of the battle mode (Figure 3). Each respondent enters his or her own nickname into the start screen and sends it to the server 1.
　ここで、対戦モードにおける設問の出題は、例えば、対戦する回答者のうちのいずれか１人の回答者の端末、あるいは、第三者（例えば、対戦する回答者は学生で、第三者は学生らを指導する教師）の端末から本サーバ１に出題の開始を指示する情報が送信されたタイミングで開始される。 Here, the questioning in the battle mode begins when, for example, the terminal of one of the competing respondents, or the terminal of a third party (for example, the competing respondents are students and the third party is a teacher who instructs the students), sends information to the server 1 instructing the start of questioning.
　また、対戦する回答者の回答の順序は、例えば、対戦する回答者のうちのいずれか１人の回答者の端末、あるいは、第三者の端末から本サーバ１に順序を示す情報が送信されて指定される。 The order of answers of the competing respondents is specified, for example, by information indicating the order being sent to the server 1 from the terminal of one of the competing respondents or from a third party's terminal.
　さらに、対戦する複数の回答者は、例えば、本サーバ１が、学習者の過去の学習履歴（対戦モード、計測モード、自習モードのいずれかの得点の合計点、または、これらの合計点の組合せ）に基づいて決定した学習者同士である。すなわち、例えば、学生らを指導する教師は、本サーバ１を用いて、合計点の近似した学生を検索して、対戦モードで対戦する学生を決定する。
　あるいは、対戦する複数の回答者は、過去の学習履歴とは無関係に、決定されてもよい。すなわち、例えば、教師は、学生の中から複数の学生を回答者として決定して、決定された回答者同士が対戦する。 Furthermore, the multiple respondents who will compete against each other are learners determined by the server 1 based on the learners' past learning history (the total points of the scores in the competition mode, the measurement mode, or the self-study mode, or a combination of these total points). That is, for example, a teacher who teaches the students uses the server 1 to search for students with similar total points and determine the students who will compete against each other in the competition mode.
Alternatively, the multiple respondents to compete against each other may be determined regardless of the past learning history. That is, for example, the teacher determines multiple students from among the students as respondents, and the determined respondents compete against each other.
　さらにまた、例えば、不特定の複数の学習者が本サーバ１に接続して出題が開始されるのを待機しておき、一定時間（例えば、１５分）ごとに、本サーバ１が、待機中の学習者の中からランダムに対戦する複数の回答者を選択して、回答権の順番を決定した上で、出題を開始してもよい。 Furthermore, for example, an unspecified number of learners may connect to the server 1 and wait for questions to begin, and at regular intervals (e.g., 15 minutes), the server 1 may randomly select multiple answerers from among the waiting learners to compete against each other, determine the order of answering rights, and then begin asking questions.
　さらにまた、本サーバ１は、疑似的な回答者として動作する機能を提供してもよい。すなわち、例えば、本サーバ１は、１人の回答者の端末と接続する。この１人の回答者が対戦モードを選択しても対戦者が存在しないとき、本サーバ１がこの１人の回答者の対戦者となる模擬的な回答者として動作する。つまり、この１人の回答者は、本サーバ１と対戦する。同機能は、例えば、正答や誤答を入力する演出や、考え込む演出（入力中の回答の全部または一部を変更したり、入力に時間を要したりする演出）を実現する。つまり、この１人の回答者は、本サーバ１が入力する回答やその正誤を閲覧できる。本サーバ１が疑似的な回答者として動作することで、回答者が１人であっても、この回答者は対戦モードを利用して学習できる。 Furthermore, the server 1 may provide a function to operate as a pseudo answerer. That is, for example, the server 1 is connected to the terminal of one answerer. When the answerer selects the battle mode but there is no opponent, the server 1 operates as a simulated answerer who becomes the opponent of the answerer. That is, the answerer competes against the server 1. This function realizes, for example, a performance in which a correct answer or an incorrect answer is input, or a performance in which the answerer thinks deeply (changing all or part of the answer being input, or taking time to input). That is, the answerer can view the answers input by the server 1 and whether they are correct or incorrect. By the server 1 operating as a pseudo answerer, even if there is only one answerer, the answerer can learn by using the battle mode.
　なお、本サーバ１は、設問ごとに、出題の開始前に、第１端末１０と第２端末２０とにカウントダウンを示すカウントダウン画面を表示させる。すなわち、第１端末１０を操作する第１回答者と、第２端末２０を操作する第２回答者とは、カウントダウン画面に表示される「３」「２」「１」のカウントダウン表示を閲覧して、設問が出題されるタイミングを把握する。 Note that for each question, the server 1 displays a countdown screen showing the countdown on the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20 before the question begins. That is, the first respondent operating the first terminal 10 and the second respondent operating the second terminal 20 view the countdown display of "3," "2," and "1" displayed on the countdown screen to understand when the question will be asked.
●第１端末１０に表示される画面の構成
　図４は、画面Ｐａに、正答の表示領域Ａと、第１回答の入力画面Ａ１と、第２回答の表示画面Ａ２と、が表示されていることを示す。 ●Screen configuration displayed on the first terminal 10 Figure 4 shows that on screen Pa, a display area A for the correct answer, an input screen A1 for the first answer, and a display screen A2 for the second answer are displayed.
　第１回答は、第１回答者が第１端末１０に入力した回答である。
　第２回答は、第２回答者が第２端末２０に入力した回答である。 The first answer is an answer inputted by the first answerer into the first terminal 10 .
The second answer is an answer entered by the second answerer into the second terminal 20 .
　表示領域Ａは、正答と判定をされた第１回答や第２回答を表示する。 Display area A displays the first and second answers that have been determined to be correct.
　入力画面Ａ１は、第１回答の入力領域Ａ１１と、第１回答の回答可能（入力領域Ａ１１への入力可能）な所定時間の残り時間を示すインジケータＡ１２と、第１回答者が獲得した得点と、第１回答者が所定時間内に誤答した回数を示す３つのハート型の図形と、スピーカを模した図形と、を表示する。 The input screen A1 displays an input area A11 for the first answer, an indicator A12 showing the remaining time during which the first answer can be given (entered into the input area A11), the points earned by the first answerer, three heart-shaped figures showing the number of times the first answerer gave an incorrect answer within the given time, and a figure resembling a speaker.
　３つのハート型の図形は、回答者が回答を入力可能となった時刻（回答可能な開始時刻）において、墨塗で表示される。所定時間内に入力された回答が誤答の度に、ハート型の図形１つずつが白抜きで表示される。ハート型の図形の数「３」は、回答権を有する回答者が所定時間内にチャレンジできる最大回数が「３」であることを示す。 The three heart-shaped shapes are displayed in black ink at the time when the respondent is able to enter an answer (start time when the answer can be given). Each time an incorrect answer is entered within the specified time, one heart-shaped shape is displayed in white. The number of heart-shaped shapes, "3," indicates that the maximum number of attempts an respondent who has the right to answer can make within the specified time is "3."
　スピーカを模した図形は、第１回答者に回答権が移っているとき、第１端末１０が備えるキーボードの「ｓｐａｃｅ」キーが押下されると、設問の英文の音声が再生されることを示す。つまり、第１回答者は、所定時間内であれば、何度でも設問の英文の音声を聞き返すことができる。 The figure resembling a speaker indicates that when the answering right has been transferred to the first respondent, pressing the "space" key on the keyboard of the first terminal 10 will play the audio of the question in English. In other words, the first respondent can listen to the audio of the question in English as many times as he or she likes within a specified time period.

　画面Ｐｂは、表示画面Ｂ２の上方に、第１回答者のニックネーム「Ｔａｒｏ」を表示する。 Screen Pb displays the nickname of the first respondent, "Taro," at the top of display screen B2.
●オン状態とオフ状態
　図５は、第１端末１０に表示される入力画面Ａ１がオン状態（第１オン状態）であることを示す。
　同図は、第２端末２０に表示される入力画面Ｂ１がオフ状態（第２オフ状態）であることを示す。 ON State and OFF State FIG. 5 shows that the input screen A1 displayed on the first terminal 10 is in the ON state (first ON state).
The figure shows that the input screen B1 displayed on the second terminal 20 is in an off state (second off state).
　図６は、第１端末１０に表示される入力画面Ａ１がオフ状態（第１オフ状態）であることを示す。
　同図は、第２端末２０に表示される入力画面Ｂ１がオン状態（第２オン状態）であることを示す。 FIG. 6 shows that the input screen A1 displayed on the first terminal 10 is in the off state (first off state).
The figure shows that the input screen B1 displayed on the second terminal 20 is in the ON state (second ON state).
　入力画面のオン状態は、回答者が回答を入力画面に入力可能な状態である。入力画面のオン状態は、入力画面内の入力領域が入力可能な状態（オン状態）に制御されることで実現される。 The on state of the input screen is a state in which the respondent can input an answer into the input screen. The on state of the input screen is achieved by controlling the input area within the input screen to a state in which input is possible (on state).
　入力画面のオフ状態は、回答者が回答を入力画面に入力不可能な状態である。入力画面のオフ状態は、入力画面内の入力領域が入力不可能な状態（オフ状態）に制御されることで実現される。 The input screen's off state is a state in which the respondent cannot input an answer into the input screen. The input screen's off state is achieved by controlling the input area within the input screen to a state in which input is not possible (off state).
　同図は、画面Ｐａの表示領域Ａと、画面Ｐｂの表示領域Ｂと、に紙面左右方向の横線が表示されていることを示す。同横線の長さは、出題される設問の英文の長さに応じた長さである。 The figure shows that a horizontal line is displayed in the left-right direction on the paper in display area A of screen Pa and in display area B of screen Pb. The length of the horizontal line corresponds to the length of the English sentence in the question.
　第１表示制御部８ａは、入力画面Ａ１内の第１入力領域Ａ１１を、オン状態とオフ状態とのいずれか一方に制御する（切替える）。 The first display control unit 8a controls (switches) the first input area A11 in the input screen A1 to either an on state or an off state.
　第２表示制御部８ｂは、入力画面Ｂ１内の第２入力領域Ｂ１１を、オン状態とオフ状態とのいずれか一方に制御する（切替える）。　 The second display control unit 8b controls (switches) the second input area B11 in the input screen B1 to either the on state or the off state.
　第１表示制御部８ａが入力画面Ａ１内の第１入力領域Ａ１１をオン状態に制御しているとき、第２表示制御部８ｂは、入力画面Ｂ１内の第２入力領域Ｂ１１をオフ状態に制御する。
　第１表示制御部８ａが入力画面Ａ１内の第１入力領域Ａ１１をオフ状態に制御しているとき、第２表示制御部８ｂは、入力画面Ｂ１内の第２入力領域Ｂ１１をオン状態に制御する。 When the first display control unit 8a controls the first input area A11 in the input screen A1 to be in the ON state, the second display control unit 8b controls the second input area B11 in the input screen B1 to be in the OFF state.
When the first display control unit 8a controls the first input area A11 in the input screen A1 to be in the OFF state, the second display control unit 8b controls the second input area B11 in the input screen B1 to be in the ON state.
●対戦者間の回答の共有
　図７，８は、第１端末１０に入力された第１回答者の回答が、第２端末２０に表示されて第２回答者に共有される様子を示す。 Sharing of Answers Between Players FIGS. 7 and 8 show how an answer entered by a first answerer in a first terminal 10 is displayed on a second terminal 20 and shared with a second answerer.
　図７は、第１端末１０に表示されている入力領域Ａ１１がオン状態に制御されていて、第２端末２０に表示されている入力領域Ｂ１１がオフ状態に制御されていることを示す。
　同図は、第１回答者に入力された第１回答の一部「ｈ」が、第１端末１０に表示されている画面Ｐａの入力領域Ａ１１に、表示されていることを示す。
　同図は、第１端末１０の入力領域Ａ１１に入力された「ｈ」が、第２端末２０に表示されている画面Ｐｂの表示領域Ｂ２１に、表示されていることを示す。 FIG. 7 shows that an input area A11 displayed on the first terminal 10 is controlled to an ON state, and an input area B11 displayed on the second terminal 20 is controlled to an OFF state.
The figure shows that a part of the first answer "h" entered by the first respondent is displayed in input field A11 of screen Pa displayed on first terminal 10.
The figure shows that the character “h” input in the input area A11 of the first terminal 10 is displayed in the display area B21 of the screen Pb displayed on the second terminal 20.
　図８は、図７に示された画面が表示された時から時間が経過して表示されている画面を示す。
　同図は、第１回答者に入力された第１回答の一部「ｈｅ」が、第１端末１０に表示されている画面Ｐａの入力領域Ａ１１に、表示されていることを示す。
　同図は、第１端末１０の入力領域Ａ１１に入力された「ｈｅ」が、第２端末２０に表示されている画面Ｐｂの表示領域Ｂ２１に、表示されていることを示す。 FIG. 8 shows a screen that is displayed after some time has passed since the screen shown in FIG. 7 was displayed.
The figure shows that a part of the first answer “he” entered by the first respondent is displayed in input field A11 of screen Pa displayed on first terminal 10.
The figure shows that “he” input in the input area A11 of the first terminal 10 is displayed in the display area B21 of the screen Pb displayed on the second terminal 20.
　図８に示されるインジケータＡ１２の墨塗部分の長さ（紙面上下方向の長さ）は、図７に示されたインジケータＡ１２の墨塗部分の長さよりも短い。換言すれば、図８に示されるインジケータＡ１２の白色部分の長さは、図７に示されたインジケータＡ１２の白色部分の長さよりも長い。 The length (length in the vertical direction of the paper) of the blackened portion of indicator A12 shown in FIG. 8 is shorter than the length of the blackened portion of indicator A12 shown in FIG. 7. In other words, the length of the white portion of indicator A12 shown in FIG. 8 is longer than the length of the white portion of indicator A12 shown in FIG. 7.
　インジケータＡ１２の白色部分の長さは、第１回答者の回答可能な開始時刻からの経過時間を示す。一方、インジケータＡ１２の墨塗部分の長さは、第１回答者の回答可能な時間（所定時間）の残り時間を示す。 The length of the white portion of indicator A12 indicates the amount of time that has elapsed since the start time during which the first respondent can respond. On the other hand, the length of the blackened portion of indicator A12 indicates the remaining time during which the first respondent can respond (predetermined time).
　ここで、図７と図８のインジケータＢ２２の白色部分と墨塗部分のそれぞれの長さは、図７と図８のインジケータＡ１２の白色部分と墨塗部分それぞれの長さと同じである。 Here, the length of each of the white and blackened parts of indicator B22 in Figures 7 and 8 is the same as the length of each of the white and blackened parts of indicator A12 in Figures 7 and 8.
　第１回答者の回答可能な開始時刻は、第１回答の入力領域Ａ１１がオフ状態からオン状態に変更された時である。第１回答者の回答時間は、第１回答者が回答可能な開始時刻から、受信部４が入力領域Ａ１１に入力された第１回答（正答）を受信する時までの時間である。すなわち、受信部４が受信した第１回答が正答のとき、回答可能な開始時刻からの時間の計時は、停止する。一方、受信部４が受信した第１回答が誤答のとき、回答可能な開始時刻からの時間の計時は停止せずに、回答可能な所定時間の残り時間は、減少し続ける。 The start time at which the first respondent can answer is the time when the input area A11 for the first answer is changed from an off state to an on state. The answer time of the first respondent is the time from the start time at which the first respondent can answer to the time when the receiving unit 4 receives the first answer (correct answer) entered in the input area A11. In other words, when the first answer received by the receiving unit 4 is correct, the clocking of the time from the start time at which the first respondent can answer stops. On the other hand, when the first answer received by the receiving unit 4 is incorrect, the clocking of the time from the start time at which the first respondent can answer does not stop, and the remaining time in the specified time at which the first respondent can answer continues to decrease.
　なお、受信部４が、回答可能な開始時刻から所定時間が経過するまでに、正答を受信しないとき、回答可能な開始時刻からの時間の計時は、停止する。回答可能な開始時刻から所定時間が経過すると、入力領域Ａ１１はオン状態からオフ状態に制御されて、入力領域Ｂ１１はオフ状態からオン状態に制御される。つまり、第１回答者が所定時間内に正答を入力できないとき、回答権が第１回答者から第２回答者に移る。回答権が移った結果、第１回答者は回答を入力できなくなり、第２回答者は回答を入力できる。 If the receiving unit 4 does not receive the correct answer before a predetermined time has elapsed from the start time when the answer can be made, the timing of time from the start time when the answer can be made stops. When a predetermined time has elapsed from the start time when the answer can be made, input area A11 is controlled from an on state to an off state, and input area B11 is controlled from an off state to an on state. In other words, if the first answerer is unable to input the correct answer within the predetermined time, the right to answer is transferred from the first answerer to the second answerer. As a result of the transfer of the right to answer, the first answerer is no longer able to input an answer, and the second answerer is able to input an answer.
　図９－図１２は、第２回答者に入力された回答が正答のときの第１端末１０と第２端末２０それぞれに表示される画面の遷移を示す。 Figures 9 to 12 show the transition of screens displayed on the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20 when the answer entered by the second respondent is correct.
　図９は、第２回答者が第２回答として「ｓｈｅ」を入力したことを示す。 Figure 9 shows that the second respondent entered "she" as the second answer.
　図１０，１１は、第２回答者が第２回答を入力し終えて、第２端末２０が備えるキーボードの「ＥＮＴＥＲ」キーを押したときの第１端末１０と第２端末２０それぞれに表示される画面のアニメーションの様子を示す。
　同図は、第１端末１０の表示領域Ａ２１と、第２端末２０の入力領域Ｂ１１と、に表示されている第２回答として第２端末２０に入力された「ｓｈｅ」の文字が、同「ＥＮＴＥＲ」キーの押下後、それぞれ、画面Ｐａ，Ｐｂ内の表示領域Ａ，Ｂに向けて移動する様子を示す。 10 and 11 show the animation of the screens displayed on the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20, respectively, when the second respondent finishes inputting the second answer and presses the “ENTER” key on the keyboard provided on the second terminal 20.
The figure shows how the character "she" entered into the second terminal 20 as the second answer, which is displayed in display area A21 of the first terminal 10 and in input area B11 of the second terminal 20, moves toward display areas A and B on screens Pa and Pb, respectively, after the "ENTER" key is pressed.
　図１２は、第２回答「ｓｈｅ」が正答と判定をされた結果、第１端末１０と第２端末２０それぞれの表示領域Ａ，Ｂに、第２回答が表示されていることを示す。 FIG. 12 shows that the second answer "she" is determined to be the correct answer, and the second answer is displayed in display areas A and B of the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20, respectively.
　同図は、正答と判定をされた第２回答を回答した第２回答者に、得点「９４」が付与されていることを示す。得点「９４」は、第１端末１０の表示画面Ａ２と、第２端末２０の入力画面Ｂ１それぞれのＳｃｏｒｅ欄に、表示される。 The figure shows that the second respondent, who provided the second answer that was determined to be correct, was given a score of "94." The score "94" is displayed in the Score column on both the display screen A2 of the first terminal 10 and the input screen B1 of the second terminal 20.
　得点は、採点部７により採点されて第１端末１０と第２端末２０とに送信される。採点部７は、設問の難易度や、回答時間などに基づいて、得点を算出する。第１端末１０と第２端末２０とは、本サーバ１から受信した得点を、画面Ｐａ，Ｐｂに表示する。 The scores are scored by the scoring unit 7 and transmitted to the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20. The scoring unit 7 calculates the scores based on the difficulty of the questions, the answering time, etc. The first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20 display the scores received from the server 1 on the screens Pa and Pb.
　同図は、第１端末１０の入力領域Ａ１１がオフ状態からオン状態に変更されていて、第２端末２０の入力領域Ｂ１１がオン状態からオフ状態に変更されていることを示す。 The figure shows that input area A11 of the first terminal 10 has been changed from an off state to an on state, and input area B11 of the second terminal 20 has been changed from an on state to an off state.
　図１３，１４は、第１回答者が第１回答として入力した「ｌｏｏｋｅｄ」が正答と判定をされた結果、第１端末１０と第２端末２０それぞれの表示領域Ａ，Ｂに、第１回答が表示されていることを示す。 Figures 13 and 14 show that the first answer "looked" entered by the first respondent is determined to be the correct answer, and the first answer is displayed in display areas A and B of the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20, respectively.
　図１４は、第１端末１０の入力領域Ａ１１がオン状態からオフ状態に変更されていて、第２端末２０の入力領域Ｂ１１がオフ状態からオン状態に変更されていることを示す。 FIG. 14 shows that input area A11 of the first terminal 10 has been changed from an on state to an off state, and input area B11 of the second terminal 20 has been changed from an off state to an on state.
　図１５－図１９は、第２回答者が第２回答「ｌｏｎｗｅｉ」を入力し終えて、第２端末２０が備えるキーボードの「ＥＮＴＥＲ」キーを押したときの第１端末１０と第２端末２０それぞれに表示される画面のアニメーションの様子を示す。 Figures 15 to 19 show the animations displayed on the screens of the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20 when the second respondent finishes entering the second answer "lonwei" and presses the "ENTER" key on the keyboard of the second terminal 20.
　図１６，１７は、第１端末１０の表示領域Ａ２１と、第２端末２０の入力領域Ｂ１１と、に表示されている第２回答「ｌｏｎｗｅｉ」の文字が、同「ＥＮＴＥＲ」キーの押下後、それぞれ、表示領域Ａ，Ｂに向けて移動する様子を示す。 Figures 16 and 17 show how the characters for the second answer "lonwei", displayed in display area A21 of the first terminal 10 and input area B11 of the second terminal 20, move toward display areas A and B, respectively, after the "ENTER" key is pressed.
　図１８は、第２回答「ｌｏｎｗｅｉ」が誤答（正答は「ｌｏｎｅｌｙ」）と判定をされた結果、第１端末１０と第２端末２０それぞれの表示領域Ａ，Ｂに向けて移動した文字「ｌｏｎｗｅｉ」が表示領域Ａ，Ｂの外に弾かれる演出のアニメーションを示す。
　同図は、第２回答「ｌｏｎｗｅｉ」のうち、正答「ｌｏｎｅｌｙ」と共通する部分「ｌｏｎ」のみが、表示領域Ａ，Ｂに表示されていることを示す。すなわち、第２回答に含まれる文字列のうち、正答と共通する部分（部分正答）は、表示領域Ａ，Ｂに表示される。 Figure 18 shows an animation in which the second answer "lonwei" is determined to be an incorrect answer (the correct answer is "lonely"), and the letters "lonwei" move toward display areas A and B of the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20, respectively, and are then bounced out of display areas A and B.
The figure shows that only the portion "lon" of the second answer "lonwei" that is common to the correct answer "lonery" is displayed in display areas A and B. In other words, the portion of the character string included in the second answer that is common to the correct answer (partial correct answer) is displayed in display areas A and B.
　第１回答者は、第１端末１０の表示領域Ａに表示されている「ｌｏｎ」を閲覧できる。すなわち、第１回答者は、正答が「ｌｏｎ」で始まる英単語であることを把握できる。つまり、表示領域Ａに表示されている「ｌｏｎ」は、第１回答者への正答のヒントとなる。 The first respondent can view "lon" displayed in display area A of the first terminal 10. In other words, the first respondent can understand that the correct answer is an English word beginning with "lon." In other words, "lon" displayed in display area A is a hint to the first respondent as to the correct answer.
　図１９は、第１端末１０の入力領域Ａ１１がオフ状態からオン状態に変更されていて、第２端末２０の入力領域Ｂ１１がオン状態からオフ状態に変更されていることを示す。 FIG. 19 shows that input area A11 of the first terminal 10 has been changed from an off state to an on state, and input area B11 of the second terminal 20 has been changed from an on state to an off state.
　図２０は、第１回答者が第１回答として「ｌｏｎｅｌｙ」を、第１端末１０の入力領域Ａ１１に入力していることを示す。 FIG. 20 shows that the first respondent has entered "lonely" as the first answer in input field A11 of the first terminal 10.
　図２１は、第１回答「ｌｏｎｅｌｙ」が正答と判定をされて、設問の英文「Ｓｈｅ　ｌｏｏｋｅｄ　ｌｏｎｅｌｙ」が完成したことを示す。
　同図は、設問の英文が完成したとき、第１端末１０と第２端末２０それぞれの画面Ｐａ，Ｐｂに、設問の英文の和訳「彼女は寂しそうだった。」が表示されることを示す。画面Ｐａ，Ｐｂに設問の英文の和訳が表示されたとき、英文の音声が２回、第１端末１０と第２端末２０とから出力される。 FIG. 21 shows that the first answer "lonely" has been determined to be the correct answer, completing the English sentence "She looked lonely" in the question.
The figure shows that when the English sentence of the question is completed, the Japanese translation of the English sentence of the question, "She looked lonely," is displayed on the screens Pa and Pb of the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20. When the Japanese translation of the English sentence of the question is displayed on the screens Pa and Pb, the English sentence is output twice by voice from the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20.
　図２２－図２８は、次の設問における第１端末１０と第２端末２０とに表示される画面の遷移を示す模式図である。 Figures 22 to 28 are schematic diagrams showing the transition of screens displayed on the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20 for the following questions.
　図２２は、第１端末１０の入力画面Ａ１１がオフ状態で、第２端末２０の入力画面Ｂ１１がオン状態であることを示す。つまり、同図は、第２回答者が回答をする番である（第２回答者が回答権を有する）ことを示す。 FIG. 22 shows that the input screen A11 of the first terminal 10 is in an off state, and the input screen B11 of the second terminal 20 is in an on state. In other words, this figure shows that it is the second respondent's turn to answer (the second respondent has the right to answer).
　図２３は、第１回答者と第２回答者とが交互に回答をして、設問の英文の途中までの正答「Ｉ　ａｌｗａｙｓ　ｗｒｉｔｅ　ｌｅｔｔｅｒ＊」が表示領域Ａ，Ｂに表示されていることを示す。 FIG. 23 shows that the first and second respondents are answering alternately, and the correct answer "I always write letter*" is displayed up to the middle of the question in display areas A and B.
　同図は、回答の対象が、設問の英文に含まれる４番目の英単語「ｌｅｔｔｅｒ＊」であることを示す。この「＊」は、第１回答者と第２回答者とへの正答に至るヒントである。つまり、「ｌｅｔｔｅｒ＊」は、４番目の英単語の正答が「ｌｅｔｔｅｒ」＋１文字、であることを示す。 The figure shows that the answer is the fourth English word "letter*" contained in the question. This "*" is a hint to the first and second respondents to arrive at the correct answer. In other words, "letter*" indicates that the correct answer for the fourth English word is "letter" + 1 letter.
　同図は、画面Ｐａの入力画面Ａ１と表示画面Ａ２、および、画面Ｐｂの入力画面Ｂ１と表示画面Ｂ２、それぞれに表示されている３個のハート型の図形のうち、１個のみ白抜きで表示されていることを示す。白抜きで表示されているハート型の図形の数は、ある英単語の回答において、回答者が所定時間内に正答できなかった回数である。つまり、同図は、第１回答者と第２回答者それぞれが、１回ずつ、所定時間内にある英単語の正答を入力できなかったことを示す。「ｌｅｔｔｅｒ＊」の「ｌｅｔｔｅｒ」部分は、直前の回答者である第２回答者に入力された回答に含まれる部分正答である。 The figure shows that of the three heart-shaped shapes displayed on input screen A1 and display screen A2 of screen Pa, and input screen B1 and display screen B2 of screen Pb, only one is displayed in white. The number of white heart-shaped shapes indicates the number of times a respondent failed to enter a correct answer to a certain English word within the specified time. In other words, the figure shows that each of the first respondent and the second respondent failed to enter a correct answer to an English word within the specified time once. The "letter" part of "letter*" is a partial correct answer included in the answer entered by the second respondent, who was the previous respondent.
　図２４は、第１回答者が２回目の回答をする番において、第１回答として「ｌｅｔｔｅｒｓ」を入力したことを示す。 Figure 24 shows that the first respondent entered "letters" as the first answer when it was his/her second turn to answer.
　図２５は、図２４に示された第１回答「ｌｅｔｔｅｒｓ」が正答と判定をされて、表示領域Ａ，Ｂに正答が表示されていることを示す。
　同図は、第１端末１０の入力領域Ａ１１がオン状態からオフ状態に変更されて、第２端末２０の入力領域Ｂ１１がオフ状態からオン状態に変更されていることを示す。
　同図は、画面Ｐａ，Ｐｂ内のハート型の図形すべてが墨塗に変更されていることを示す。 FIG. 25 shows that the first answer "letters" shown in FIG. 24 has been determined to be the correct answer and is displayed in display areas A and B.
The figure shows that the input field A11 of the first terminal 10 is changed from an on state to an off state, and the input field B11 of the second terminal 20 is changed from an off state to an on state.
This figure shows that all the heart-shaped figures on the screens Pa and Pb have been changed to blackened out.
　図２６は、画面Ｐａ，Ｐｂ内のハート型の図形のすべてが白抜きで表示されていることを示す。
　同図は、第１回答者と第２回答者それぞれが、ある英単語の正答を、３回ずつ、所定時間内に入力できなかったことを示す。
　同図は、第１回答者と第２回答者それぞれが正答を回答できなかった５番目の英単語「ｗｉｔｈ」が表示領域Ａ，Ｂに表示されていることを示す。 FIG. 26 shows that all the heart-shaped figures on the screens Pa and Pb are displayed in white.
The figure shows that the first respondent and the second respondent each failed to input the correct answer to a certain English word within a predetermined time period three times.
13 shows that the fifth English word "with", which neither the first respondent nor the second respondent answered correctly, is displayed in display areas A and B.
　第１回答者と第２回答者それぞれが、ある英単語の正答を、３回ずつ、所定時間内に回答できなかったとき、その英単語が表示領域Ａ，Ｂに表示されて、第１回答者と第２回答者それぞれは次の英単語の回答をする。 When the first and second respondents are each unable to correctly answer a certain English word three times within the specified time, the English word is displayed in display areas A and B, and the first and second respondents each answer the next English word.
　図２７は、第１回答者が、設問の英文の６番目の英単語の回答として、第１回答「ｐｅｎ」を入力していることを示す。
　同図は、画面Ｐａ，Ｐｂ内のハート型の図形のすべてが墨塗に変更されていることを示す。 FIG. 27 shows that the first respondent has input the first answer "pen" as the answer to the sixth English word in the English sentence of the question.
This figure shows that all the heart-shaped figures on the screens Pa and Pb have been changed to be blackened.
　図２８は、第１回答「ｐｅｎ」が正答と判定をされて、設問の英文「Ｉ　ａｌｗａｙｓｗｒｉｔｅ　ｌｅｔｔｅｒｓ　ｗｉｔｈ　ｐｅｎ．」が完成したことを示す。
　同図は、第１端末１０と第２端末２０それぞれの画面Ｐａ，Ｐｂに、設問の英文の和訳「私はいつもペンで手紙を書く。」が表示されることを示す。
　同図は、同設問の英文が完成した時点における第１回答者と第２回答者それぞれの得点の合計点が「１８６」と「７２」であることを示す。 FIG. 28 shows that the first answer "pen" has been determined to be the correct answer, and the sentence in the question "I always write letters with pen" has been completed.
The figure shows that the Japanese translation of the English question, "I always write letters with a pen," is displayed on the screens Pa and Pb of the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20, respectively.
The figure shows that the total points given to the first and second respondents at the time when they completed the English sentence of the question were "186" and "72", respectively.
　以上の説明のとおり、本サーバは、回答権を有する回答者の端末の入力画面に入力された情報（入力中回答）を、入力画面に入力された情報が更新される都度、ほぼリアルタイムで、対戦相手の端末の表示画面に表示する。 As explained above, this server displays the information (answer currently being entered) entered into the input screen of the respondent's device who has the right to answer, on the display screen of the opponent's device almost in real time each time the information entered into the input screen is updated.
　ここで、回答権を有する回答者の端末の「ＥＮＴＥＲ」キーが押下された時点で入力画面に入力（表示）されている「入力中回答」は、正答・誤答の判定の対象である「回答」として、本サーバに送信される。本サーバは、回答が正答・誤答のいずれであるかの判定をする。 The "answer being entered" that is entered (displayed) on the input screen at the time the "ENTER" key on the terminal of the respondent who has the right to answer is pressed is sent to this server as the "answer" that is subject to judgment as to whether it is correct or incorrect. This server judges whether the answer is correct or incorrect.
　本発明における回答は、複数の部分回答を含んでもよい。すなわち、例えば、回答は英単語に関連する文字情報であり、部分回答は文字情報に含まれる文字の集合（１文字または２文字以上の組合せ）である。 An answer in the present invention may include multiple partial answers. That is, for example, an answer is character information related to an English word, and a partial answer is a set of characters included in the character information (one character or a combination of two or more characters).
　なお、回答が誤答と判定されたとき、本サーバは、回答に含まれる部分回答のうち、部分正答の有無の判定をする。すなわち、例えば、正答が「ｌｏｎｅｌｙ」の設問において、回答（＝「ＥＮＴＥＲ」キーが押下された時点の入力中回答）が「ｌｏｎｗｅｉ」のとき、部分正答は「ｌｏｎ」である。 When an answer is determined to be incorrect, the server will determine whether any of the partial answers contained in the answer are partially correct. That is, for example, in a question where the correct answer is "lonely," if the answer (= the answer being entered at the time the "ENTER" key is pressed) is "lonwei," the partially correct answer is "lon."
　本サーバは、部分正答を対戦相手の端末に表示する。本サーバによる部分正答の表示態様は、例えば、図１８に示されたように、部分正答のみを表示する。あるいは、本サーバによる部分正答の別の表示態様は、例えば、図２３に示されたように、部分正答を、正答に至るヒント（図２３における文字「＊」）と共に表示する。 The server displays the partially correct answers on the opponent's terminal. For example, the server displays only the partially correct answers, as shown in FIG. 18. Alternatively, the server displays the partially correct answers together with a hint to the correct answer (the character "*" in FIG. 23), as shown in FIG. 23.
　ここで、本発明において、例えば、回答が複数の文字の組合せで構成されるとき、回答に含まれる部分正答の位置は、回答に含まれる先頭文字から連続する文字列（回答「ｌｏｎｗｅｉ」の先頭文字から連続する文字列「ｌｏｎ」）の位置に限られない。すなわち、例えば、正答が「伊藤博文」の設問に対する回答が「佐久間博文」のとき、本サーバは、回答「佐久間博文」に含まれる部分回答「博文」を部分正答と判定をして、対戦相手の端末に「＊＊博文」を表示する。 Here, in the present invention, for example, when an answer is composed of a combination of multiple characters, the position of the partial correct answer included in the answer is not limited to the position of the character string that follows the first character included in the answer (the character string "lon" that follows the first character of the answer "lonwei"). That is, for example, when the answer to a question in which the correct answer is "Ito Hirobumi" is "Sakuma Hirofumi," the server determines that the partial answer "Hirobumi" included in the answer "Sakuma Hirofumi" is the partial correct answer, and displays "** Hirobumi" on the opponent's terminal.
　なお、本サーバは、例えば、公知の最長共通部分列の判定アルゴリズムを用いて、回答に含まれる部分回答のうち、部分正答の箇所を特定する（回答に含まれる部分正答を特定する）。 In addition, the server identifies the partial correct answers among the partial answers included in the answer (identifies the partial correct answers included in the answer) using, for example, a known longest common subsequence determination algorithm.
●学習支援方法（計測モード）●
　計測モードにおける本方法は、先に説明された対戦モードと異なる点を中心に、以下に説明される。
　以下の説明は、ニックネーム「Ｔａｒｏ」の学習者（第１回答者）が、計測モードで学習する場合である。学習は、英語のディクテーションである。すなわち、第１回答者は、第１端末１０を用いて、本サーバ１から送信される英文の音声を聞いて、その英文を、第１端末１０に入力して回答をする。 ●Learning support method (measurement mode)●
The method in the measurement mode will be described below, focusing on the points that differ from the battle mode described above.
The following explanation is for a case where a learner (first respondent) with the nickname "Taro" studies in the measurement mode. The study is English dictation. That is, the first respondent uses the first terminal 10 to listen to the audio of the English sentences transmitted from the server 1, and inputs the English sentences into the first terminal 10 to respond.
　第１回答者は、英文に含まれる１番目の英単語を、回答として第１端末１０に入力する。第１回答者は、所定時間（２０秒）内に、回答を入力する必要がある。
　第１回答者に入力された回答が正答のとき、第１回答者に得点が付与されて、回答可能な所定時間の残り時間は２０秒に戻る。その後、第１回答者は、英文に含まれる２番目の英単語を回答する。 The first respondent inputs the first English word contained in the English sentence as an answer to the first terminal 10. The first respondent is required to input the answer within a predetermined time (20 seconds).
If the answer entered by the first respondent is correct, the first respondent is given points and the remaining time in which the first respondent can answer is returned to 20 seconds. After that, the first respondent answers the second English word included in the English sentence.
　一方、第１回答者に入力された回答が誤答のとき、第１回答者は、所定時間内であれば、２回目のチャレンジとして、２つ目の回答を第１端末１０に入力できる。２つ目の回答も誤答のとき、第１回答者は、所定時間内であれば、３回目のチャレンジとして、３つ目の回答を第１端末１０に入力できる。３つ目の回答も誤答のとき、英文に含まれる１番目の英単語の正答が第１端末１０に表示されて、回答可能な所定時間の残り時間は２０秒に戻る。その後、第１回答者は、英文に含まれる２番目の英単語を回答する。 On the other hand, if the answer entered by the first respondent is incorrect, the first respondent can enter a second answer into the first terminal 10 as a second challenge, provided it is within the specified time. If the second answer is also incorrect, the first respondent can enter a third answer into the first terminal 10 as a third challenge, provided it is within the specified time. If the third answer is also incorrect, the correct answer to the first English word contained in the English sentence is displayed on the first terminal 10, and the remaining time in the specified time for answering returns to 20 seconds. The first respondent then answers the second English word contained in the English sentence.
　なお、第１回答者が所定時間内に正答を入力できず、かつ、所定時間内の誤答の数が２回以下のときも、英文に含まれる１番目の英単語の正答が表示されて、回答可能な所定時間の残り時間は２０秒に戻る。その後、第１回答者は、英文に含まれる２番目の英単語を回答する。 If the first respondent is unable to input the correct answer within the specified time and has given two or fewer incorrect answers within the specified time, the correct answer for the first English word in the English sentence will be displayed and the remaining time in which to answer will return to 20 seconds. After that, the first respondent will answer the second English word in the English sentence.
　このようにして、第１回答者は、制限時間内に出題される設問に含まれる英単語の正答を回答して得点を獲得する。 In this way, the first respondent earns points by answering the correct English words contained in the questions within the time limit.

The figure shows that the score screen displays the progress of the first respondent's score in the measurement mode and the frequency distribution of the scores of all learners who have studied in the measurement mode in the past. The first respondent can grasp the progress of his/her own score by viewing the progress of the score, and can grasp the position of his/her own score among all learners by viewing the frequency distribution.

●学習支援方法（自習モード）●
　自習モードにおける本方法は、先に説明された対戦モードや計測モードと異なる点を中心に、以下に説明される。
　以下の説明は、ニックネーム「Ｔａｒｏ」の学習者（第１回答者）が、自習モードで学習する場合である。学習は、英語のディクテーションである。すなわち、第１回答者は、第１端末１０を用いて、本サーバ１から送信される英文の音声を聞いて、その英文を、第１端末１０に入力して回答をする。 ●Learning support method (self-study mode)●
The method in the self-study mode will be described below, focusing on the differences from the battle mode and measurement mode described above.
The following explanation is for a case where a learner (first respondent) with the nickname "Taro" is studying in self-study mode. The study is English dictation. That is, the first respondent uses the first terminal 10 to listen to the audio of the English sentences transmitted from the server 1, and answers by inputting the English sentences into the first terminal 10.
　自習モードは、制限時間と、出題される設問の難易度と、において、計測モードと異なる。自習モードの制限時間は、３分である（計測モードの制限時間は１０分）。自習モードで出題される設問の難易度は、自習モードに取り組む回答者の過去（前回）の自習モードで獲得した得点に応じた難易度である。 Self-study mode differs from measurement mode in the time limit and the difficulty of the questions asked. The time limit for self-study mode is 3 minutes (the time limit for measurement mode is 10 minutes). The difficulty of the questions asked in self-study mode is based on the points the respondent obtained in the past (previous) self-study mode.
　自習モードに取り組む第１回答者は、測定モードと同様、制限時間内に出題される設問に含まれる英単語の正答を回答して得点を獲得する。 The first respondent working in self-study mode, like in the test mode, earns points by answering the correct English words contained in the questions within the time limit.
　図４０は、第１回答者の第１端末１０に表示される自習モードのスタート画面の模式図である。
　同図は、画面Ｐ３に、第１回答者が自身のニックネームとして入力した「Ｔａｒｏ」が表示されていることを示す。

　なお、本発明において、この合計点は、第１回答者の前回の自習モードで獲得した得点の合計点に代えて、例えば、第１回答者の過去の自習モードで獲得した得点の合計点のうちの最高点でもよい。 FIG. 40 is a schematic diagram of a start screen of the self-study mode displayed on the first terminal 10 of the first respondent.
The figure shows that the nickname "Taro" entered by the first respondent is displayed on screen P3.
The figure shows that the total score "815" obtained by the first respondent in the previous self-study mode is displayed on screen P3.
In addition, in the present invention, this total point may be, instead of the total point obtained by the first respondent in the previous self-study mode, for example, the highest total point obtained by the first respondent in the past self-study modes.
●回答者の端末に表示される画面
　図４１－図４４は、自習モードの回答中に第１端末１０に表示される回答画面の模式図である。

The first respondent can grasp the progress of his/her own score by viewing the grade trend, and can grasp the position of his/her own score among all learners by viewing the frequency distribution.
●まとめ●
　以上説明された実施の形態によれば、複数の学習者（第１回答者と第２回答者）が交互に回答をし合う対戦モードにおいて、本サーバ１は、第１端末１０の入力画面Ａ１をオン状態、かつ、第２端末２０の入力画面Ｂ１をオフ状態に制御した上で、入力画面Ａ１に入力された回答やその正誤の判定の結果を、第２端末２０の表示画面Ｂ２に表示する。すなわち、本サーバ１は、第１回答者の回答やその正誤を、第１回答者による回答の入力時や、その回答の判定時に、ほぼリアルタイムで、対戦相手の第２回答者にも閲覧させることができる。 ●Summary●
According to the embodiment described above, in a battle mode in which a plurality of learners (first and second respondents) alternately answer questions, the server 1 controls the input screen A1 of the first terminal 10 to be in an on state and the input screen B1 of the second terminal 20 to be in an off state, and then displays the answers entered on the input screen A1 and the results of the judgment of whether the answers are correct or incorrect on the display screen B2 of the second terminal 20. In other words, the server 1 allows the opponent, the second respondent, to view the answers of the first respondent and the correctness of the answers in almost real time when the first respondent enters the answers or when the answers are judged.
　また、本サーバ１は、第１回答者が入力した回答が部分正答を含むとき、第２回答者に部分正答を閲覧させる。その結果、回答権が第２回答者に移ったとき、第２回答者は、部分正答をヒントに、回答をすることができる。 In addition, when the answer entered by the first respondent includes a partially correct answer, the server 1 allows the second respondent to view the partially correct answer. As a result, when the answering right is transferred to the second respondent, the second respondent can use the partially correct answer as a hint to provide an answer.
　さらに、本サーバ１は、回答者が回答権を得てから正答に至るまでの回答時間、つまり、入力画面がオフ状態からオン状態に変更された時から正答が入力されるまでの時間に基づいて、正答を入力した回答者に付与される得点を算出する。すなわち、回答者は、回答権を得てから短時間で正答するほど、高得点を得ることができる。その結果、回答者は、高得点を得ようと、急いで回答を入力する。回答の入力を急がせることで、回答者の誤答の可能性は、高まる。つまり、対戦相手にヒントを与える可能性は、高まる。 Furthermore, the server 1 calculates the score to be awarded to an answerer who inputs a correct answer based on the time it takes for the answerer to answer correctly after obtaining the right to answer, that is, the time from when the input screen is changed from an off state to an on state until the correct answer is input. In other words, the answerer can get a higher score the sooner he or she obtains the correct answer after obtaining the right to answer. As a result, the answerer will input the answer quickly in order to get a higher score. Rushing to input the answer increases the chances of the answerer giving a wrong answer. In other words, it increases the chances of giving a hint to the opponent.
　さらにまた、本サーバ１は、回答権を得ている回答者が自身の端末の入力画面に文字を入力する都度、同入力画面に入力された文字を、回答権を得ていない回答者（対戦相手）の端末の表示画面に表示する。 Furthermore, each time an answerer who has the right to answer inputs characters into the input screen of his/her own terminal, the server 1 displays the characters input into the input screen on the display screen of the terminal of an answerer (opponent) who does not have the right to answer.
　すなわち、例えば、第１回答者が回答として「ｓｈｅ」を入力したいとき、第１端末１０の入力画面Ａ１に、回答を構成する文字（本発明における部分回答の例）「ｓ」「ｈ」「ｅ」を、順に入力する。この場合、本サーバ１は、入力画面Ａ１に文字が入力される都度、第２端末２０の表示画面Ｂ２に、「ｓ」「ｓｈ」「ｓｈｅ」を、表示する。 That is, for example, when the first respondent wishes to input "she" as an answer, he/she inputs the characters that make up the answer (examples of partial answers in the present invention) "s", "h", and "e" in that order into the input screen A1 of the first terminal 10. In this case, the server 1 displays "s", "sh", and "she" on the display screen B2 of the second terminal 20 each time a character is input into the input screen A1.
　ここで、例えば、第１回答者が、回答として「ｓｈｅ」から「ｈｅ」に思い直したとする。つまり、第１回答者は、第１端末１０の「ＥＮＴＥＲ」キーを押下する前に、入力画面Ａ１に入力されている「ｓｈｅ」を削除した上で、入力画面Ａ１に「ｈｅ」を入力する。このとき、本サーバ１は、表示画面Ｂ２に表示されていた「ｓｈｅ」の表示を削除して、「ｈｅ」を表示する。 Now, for example, suppose that the first respondent changes his/her mind from answering "she" to answering "he." In other words, before pressing the "ENTER" key on the first terminal 10, the first respondent deletes "she" that was entered on input screen A1, and then enters "he" on input screen A1. At this time, the server 1 deletes the display of "she" that was displayed on display screen B2, and displays "he."
　このように、本サーバ１は、「ＥＮＴＥＲ」キーが押下されるまでの回答者の回答状況（「ｓｈｅ」から「ｈｅ」に変更された様子など）を、対戦相手に、ほぼリアルタイムで閲覧させる。その結果、本サーバ１は、別々の場所で本サーバ１を利用して対戦している複数の回答者に、一緒に学習をしているという気持ちを抱かせ得る（孤独感の解消）。すなわち、本サーバ１は、回答権を得ている回答者が必死に回答をしている様子を対戦相手に閲覧させることで、対戦相手の学習への動機付けや学習意欲の向上を、図ることができる。 In this way, the server 1 allows the opponent to view the respondent's answering status up until the "ENTER" key is pressed (such as the change from "she" to "he") in near real time. As a result, the server 1 can make multiple respondents who are competing in different locations using the server 1 feel as if they are studying together (eliminating feelings of loneliness). In other words, the server 1 allows the opponent to view how the respondent who has obtained the right to answer is desperately answering questions, thereby motivating the opponent to study and increasing their willingness to learn.
　このように、本サーバ１は、対戦相手と得点を競いながら回答者（学習者）に回答をさせることができる。すなわち、本サーバ１は、学習者同士が、オンラインゲームを楽しむような感覚で、楽しみながら学習することを支援できる。その結果、本サーバ１は、学習者の学習意欲を向上させることができる。 In this way, the server 1 allows the respondent (learner) to answer questions while competing with an opponent for points. In other words, the server 1 can support learners in having fun while studying, in the same way that they can enjoy playing an online game. As a result, the server 1 can increase the learner's motivation to study.
　一方、１人の学習者（回答者）が学習する計測モードや自習モードにおいて、本サーバ１は、制限時間内の回答者の回答に基づいて、回答者に得点を付与する。回答者は、制限時間内により多くの設問に正答することで、高得点を得ることができる。回答者は、得点、つまり、客観的な指標としての数値により、計測モードや自習モードの利用を通じて得られた自身の学力（学習成果）の推移を客観的に把握できる。すなわち、本サーバ１は、学習者がオンラインゲームを楽しむような感覚で、楽しみながら学習することを支援できる。その結果、本サーバ１は、学習者の学習意欲を向上させることができる。 On the other hand, in the measurement mode or self-study mode in which one learner (respondent) studies, the server 1 awards points to the respondent based on the answers the respondent gives within the time limit. The respondent can obtain a high score by answering more questions correctly within the time limit. The respondent can objectively grasp the progress of his/her own academic ability (learning results) obtained through use of the measurement mode or self-study mode through the score, i.e., a numerical value as an objective indicator. In other words, the server 1 can support the learner in having fun while studying, in the same way as if he/she were enjoying an online game. As a result, the server 1 can increase the learner's motivation to study.
　なお、本発明において、各動作モードにおいて回答者に付与される得点は、回答時間に基づいて算出されるのに代えて、回答時間に関わらず一定としてもよい。すなわち、本サーバは、回答者が所定時間内に正答を入力したとき、回答時間に関わらず、所定の得点を回答者に付与する。この場合、回答者は、回答の入力を急ぐことなく、集中して設問の英文を聞いた上で回答できる。 In addition, in the present invention, the points given to the answerer in each operation mode may be calculated based on the answering time, but may be constant regardless of the answering time. In other words, when the answerer inputs the correct answer within a specified time, the server gives the answerer a specified number of points regardless of the answering time. In this case, the answerer can concentrate on listening to the English text of the question and answering it without rushing to input the answer.
　ここで、以上説明された実施の形態は、学習者が英語のディクテーションをする場合の例であった。本発明により支援される学習者の学習は、英語のディクテーションに限定されない。すなわち、本発明が適用可能な学習は、英語とは異なる言語のディクテーションでもよく、あるいは、語学の学習以外の学習でもよい。つまり、本発明が適用可能な学習は、対戦モードであれば、複数（２人とは限られない）の学習者に同じ設問を出題して、交互に回答をさせながら、対戦中のすべての学習者に、他の学習者の回答やその正誤の判定の結果を共有できるものであればよい。また、本発明が適用可能な学習は、測定モードや自習モードであれば、１人の学習者に設問を出題して、制限時間内の回答状況に応じた、客観的な指標を学習者に提示できるものであればよい。 The embodiment described above is an example of a case where a learner takes dictation in English. The learning of a learner supported by the present invention is not limited to dictation in English. In other words, the learning to which the present invention is applicable may be dictation of a language other than English, or learning other than language learning. In other words, the learning to which the present invention is applicable may be in a battle mode in which the same question is asked to multiple learners (not limited to two people) and they take turns answering, while all learners in the battle can share the answers of the other learners and the results of the judgment of whether they are correct or incorrect. Furthermore, the learning to which the present invention is applicable may be in a measurement mode or self-study mode in which a question is asked to one learner and an objective indicator is presented to the learner according to the answering status within the time limit.
　このように、本サーバは、対戦する３人以上の回答者それぞれに操作される端末（３台以上の端末）と通信ネットワークを介して接続して、対戦モードを実行してもよい。すなわち、例えば、本サーバが３台の端末それぞれと接続して対戦モードを実行するとき、本サーバは、１台の端末の入力画面のみをオン状態、かつ、残り２台の端末の入力画面をオフ状態に制御したうえで、オン状態にされた１台の端末の入力画面に入力された回答やその正誤の判定の結果を、オフ状態にされている残り２台の端末それぞれの表示画面に表示する。つまり、本サーバは、回答者の人数が３人以上であっても、回答権を１人のみに与えて、回答権を与えられた回答者の回答を他の回答者に閲覧させながら、回答権を次々と回答者に与えて対戦させる。 In this way, the server may connect to terminals (three or more terminals) operated by three or more competing respondents via a communications network and execute the battle mode. That is, for example, when the server connects to each of the three terminals and executes the battle mode, the server controls only the input screen of one terminal to be on and the input screens of the remaining two terminals to be off, and displays the answer entered on the input screen of the one terminal that is on and the result of the judgment of whether the answer is correct or incorrect on the display screen of each of the remaining two terminals that are off. In other words, even if there are three or more respondents, the server gives the right to answer to only one person, and lets the other respondents view the answers of the answerer who has been given the right to answer, while giving the right to answer to each answerer one after another, causing them to compete.
　また、以上説明された実施の形態は、本サーバ１が回答者の回答の正誤の判定をして、回答者が正答に至るまでの回答時間を計測して採点をするものであった。すなわち、本サーバ１は、判定部５と、計測部６と、採点部７と、を備えるものであった。本発明において、回答者それぞれの端末は、本サーバ１が備える判定部５と計測部６と採点部７と同様の機能を、備えてもよい。このとき、本サーバは、これらの機能を備えなくても済む。つまり、本サーバは、回答者それぞれの端末から、回答者の回答や、その正誤の判定結果や、正答のときの得点を受信して他の回答者の端末に表示させる。このように、本発明において必要な機能を本サーバと回答者の端末とに分散させることで、機能を分散させないときと比べて、本サーバの記憶部に記憶される情報は削減されて、本サーバの情報処理の負荷は軽減される。 In the embodiment described above, the server 1 judges whether the answer of the respondent is correct, measures the time it takes for the respondent to answer correctly, and scores the answer. That is, the server 1 is equipped with a judgment unit 5, a measurement unit 6, and a scoring unit 7. In the present invention, each respondent's terminal may have the same functions as the judgment unit 5, measurement unit 6, and scoring unit 7 of the server 1. In this case, the server does not need to have these functions. In other words, the server receives the respondent's answer, the judgment result of whether it is correct or not, and the score when the answer is correct from each respondent's terminal, and displays them on the terminals of the other respondents. In this way, by distributing the functions required in the present invention between the server and the respondent's terminal, the amount of information stored in the memory unit of the server is reduced compared to when the functions are not distributed, and the information processing load of the server is reduced.
　さらに、以上説明された実施の形態は、３つの動作モードのいずれにおいても、本サーバ１は、通信ネットワークを介して接続する回答者の端末と異なる情報処理装置であった。ここで、例えば、３つの動作モードのいずれにおいても、回答者の端末は、本サーバの機能を備えていてもよい。すなわち、回答者の端末は、本プログラムを動作させて、本サーバと同様の機能を実現する。つまり、回答者は、自身の端末のみを用いて計測モードや自習モードで学習できる。 Furthermore, in the embodiments described above, in any of the three operating modes, the server 1 is an information processing device different from the respondent's terminal connected via a communication network. Here, for example, in any of the three operating modes, the respondent's terminal may have the functions of the server. That is, the respondent's terminal operates the program to achieve the same functions as the server. In other words, the respondent can study in measurement mode or self-study mode using only his or her own terminal.
　換言すれば、本サーバは、回答者の端末としての機能を備えてもよい。すなわち、例えば、対戦モードにおいて、対戦する複数の回答者のうち、１の回答者は、回答者の端末の機能を備えた本サーバを用いて回答をし、他の回答者の端末は、１の回答者に操作される本サーバと通信する。あるいは、対戦モードにおいて、対戦する複数の回答者それぞれに操作される端末は、本サーバの機能の全部または一部を備えていて、回答者同士の対戦が実現されてもよい。 In other words, this server may have the functionality of a respondent's terminal. That is, for example, in a battle mode, one of multiple respondents competing against each other will respond using this server equipped with the functionality of the respondent's terminal, and the terminals of the other respondents will communicate with this server operated by the one respondent. Alternatively, in the battle mode, the terminals operated by each of the multiple respondents competing against each other may have all or part of the functionality of this server, enabling a battle between the respondents.
　このように、本方法は、複数の回答者それぞれの端末のみで実現されてもよい。すなわち、例えば、対戦する２人の回答者それぞれに操作される端末同士が通信ネットワークを介して接続して、対戦モードが実行されてもよい。このとき、２人の回答者それぞれに操作される端末のうち、１台の端末は、本サーバとしても機能する。 In this way, the method may be implemented only on the terminals of each of the multiple respondents. That is, for example, the terminals operated by two competing respondents may be connected to each other via a communications network, and the battle mode may be executed. In this case, one of the terminals operated by each of the two respondents also functions as the server.
　ここで、例えば、本サーバとしても機能する回答者の端末（以下「回答者端末」という。）は、回答者の回答が入力される入力画面と、対戦相手の回答が表示される表示画面とを表示する。回答者と対戦する対戦者の端末（以下「対戦者端末」という。）は、対戦者の回答が入力される入力画面と、回答者端末に入力された回答が表示される表示画面と、を表示する。回答者端末は、対戦者の回答を、対戦者端末から受信して、対戦者の回答が正答か誤答かの判定の結果を、対戦者端末に送信する。回答者端末は、回答者端末の入力画面を、回答が入力可能なオン状態と、回答が入力不可能なオフ状態と、に制御する。回答者端末は、対戦者端末の入力画面を、回答が入力可能なオン状態と、回答が入力不可能なオフ状態と、に制御する。回答者端末は、回答者端末の入力画面がオン状態に制御されているとき、対戦者端末の入力画面を、オフ状態に制御する。回答者端末は、回答者端末の入力画面がオフ状態に制御されているとき、対戦者端末の入力画面を、オン状態に制御する。回答者端末は、オン状態の回答者端末の入力画面に入力されている回答を、対戦者端末の表示画面に表示させる。
　回答者端末により実行される本方法は、例えば、以上のように実行される。 Here, for example, the answerer's terminal (hereinafter referred to as the "answerer terminal"), which also functions as the server, displays an input screen on which the answerer's answer is input and a display screen on which the opponent's answer is displayed. The opponent's terminal (hereinafter referred to as the "opponent terminal") competing against the answerer displays an input screen on which the opponent's answer is input and a display screen on which the answer input to the answerer terminal is displayed. The answerer terminal receives the opponent's answer from the opponent terminal and transmits the result of the judgment of whether the opponent's answer is correct or incorrect to the opponent terminal. The answerer terminal controls the input screen of the answerer terminal to an ON state in which an answer can be input and an OFF state in which an answer cannot be input. The answerer terminal controls the input screen of the opponent terminal to an ON state in which an answer can be input and an OFF state in which an answer cannot be input. When the input screen of the answerer terminal is controlled to an ON state, the answerer terminal controls the input screen of the opponent terminal to an OFF state. When the input screen of the answerer terminal is controlled to an OFF state, the answerer terminal controls the input screen of the opponent terminal to an ON state. When the input screen of the answerer terminal is controlled to an OFF state, the answerer terminal controls the input screen of the opponent terminal to an ON state. The answerer terminal displays the answer inputted on the input screen of the answerer terminal in the on state on the display screen of the opponent terminal.
The method executed by the respondent terminal is executed, for example, as described above.
　さらにまた、本サーバが備える記憶部に記憶される情報の一部は、本サーバとは別の情報処理装置の記憶部に記憶されてもよい。例えば、設問に関する情報（設問の英文の音声情報や、その設問の正答と和訳との文字情報や、その設問の難易度など）は、本サーバとは別のデータベースサーバに記憶されてもよい。あるいは、本サーバと回答者の端末と第三者の端末（例えば、対戦モードにおける回答者を指導する教師により操作される端末）との間の通信は、本サーバとは別の通信サーバにより実現されてもよい。これらデータベースサーバや通信サーバは、通信ネットワークを介して、本サーバや回答者の端末や第三者の端末と、通信可能に接続する。 Furthermore, some of the information stored in the memory unit of this server may be stored in the memory unit of an information processing device other than this server. For example, information related to the questions (such as audio information of the English sentence of the question, text information of the correct answer and Japanese translation of the question, and the difficulty level of the question) may be stored in a database server other than this server. Alternatively, communication between this server, the respondent's terminal, and a third party's terminal (for example, a terminal operated by a teacher who trains the respondent in battle mode) may be realized by a communication server other than this server. These database servers and communication servers are communicatively connected to this server, the respondent's terminal, and the third party's terminal via a communication network.
